Chicago, Oct. 18.—Jack Johnson,
the negro heavyweight champion

Miss Lucile Cameron in a warrant

Lucile Cameron, the 19-year-old
daughter of Mrs. F. Cameron-Fal

charged, has been an Inmate of the
cafe owned by Johnson on the south

rant was issued for the girl's arrest
upon the complaint of her mother,
charging disorderly conduct. The
girl is pot booked, however, as it
was feared the negro would obtain
her release on bail. The pugilist is

Resolutions Adopted.
As the final business of the conven
tion the resolutions committee re
ported and the following resolutions
were adopted:
"Whereas, w« feel that each mem
ber of our state federation has in a
way suffered a personal loss in the
death of Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker,
who twice visited our state conven
tions and, by her gracious manner
and helpful suggestions, added many
North Dakota friends to her already
long Ust, therefore.
"Be it resolved, that in her death all
club women have suffered an ti*repar
able loss, and,
"Be it further resolved, that the
sympathy of our organisation be ex
tended to her fellow workers In her
own state, and to her bereft daugh
ters and that, as a memorial, a copy
of these resolutions be spread on the
minutes of this meeting.
"Realizing that as the rural com
munities do not have the advantages
of lectures and other means of knowl
edge enjoyed by the urban population.
Urge Pure Food Work.
"Be it- resolved, that we recom
mend that the women's clubs of the
state cooperate with the county su
perintendents in spreading the knowl
edge of household sanitation and the
sible that because of this they have
not only refused to repeal Canadian
reciprocity but have openly declared
that If given the power they will put
all our farm products on the free list,
and you can readily see the absurdity
of sending democrats to congress from
this section of the country. The rep
resentatives of the "solid south" and
of the congested centers of the east
will always control the democratic
party, and a vote to send a democrat
to congress from North Dakota is a
vote to put the product of your farm
in free and open competition with all
the world, while everything you have
to buy will be more or less protected,
even under the democratic so-called
".tariff for revenue only." This is a
business proposition with you and I
do not think you are going to vote to
reduce the value of your farm prod
ucts as well as the value of your farms.
Some Meritorious Laws.
Among the few meritorious laws en
acted by this session of congress was
the parcels post law. I was very much
interested in getting the carrying of
such farm products as butter, eggs,
poultry, fruits, vegetables, etc, Includ
ed ln this law, and I took the matter
up with Mr. Lewis of Maryland who Is
the authority on parcels post In the
house and author of the house bill
known as the "Moon substitute" and
I secured his promise to Include farm
products in his bill, which he did and
this provision is now in the law. The
weight limit is less than I suggested,
but the postmaster general is given
authority to raise it as rapidly as pos
sible.
Modern politics have become in
separably connected with our business
world. The big interests understand
this an 4 that is why they are in poli
tics. The people. If they want to pro
tect their rights and Interests, must
learn to understand the same thing
and act accordingly. If you do not
believe in having congress caucus con
trolled in the Interests of big busi
ness you should vote for the congres-
committed to that system. Having for
years fought caucus control of legl
lation, and as the democratic party
Is practicing it. I feel that I am en
titled to the support of every man who
believes in abolishing such control.

demanded that he withdraw his words.
The statement was finally admitted to
the record without being read from
the prepared copy.
The reference to the attempt upon
Roosevelt life was incidental to Mc
Cormick general statement of the
campaign expenses of the progressive
party in Illinois.
"So far as I know, the cost of the
campaign in Illinois was defrayed by
J"!?1 Cha"»cey Dewey and myself,"
said McCormick.
"Iftve Dewey $16,000. I also gave

"The sinister system" formed a
deep-laid plot to control the present
presidential election, Thomas W. Law
son of Boston told the senate commit
tee.
Mr. Lawson was careful to impress
upon the committee that he knew on
ly in a "general way" of the alleged
colossal scheme to nominate and elect
a candidate satisfactory to the Wall
street interests." All of his testimony
was of matters which he knew in the
same "general way" and he became
involved In a heated controversy with
the committees in defining Just what
he meant by this phrase with which
he prefaced practically every state
ment he made. In the course of the
dispute he earnestly informed the
committee that the examination of J.
P. Morgan and other witnesses had
been a "Joke."
The conspiracy of the Wall street in
terests of which Mr. Lawson knew in
a general way included, he declared,
the defeat of Colonel Roosevelt at the
republican national convention, the
nomination of President Taft and the
injection of Colonel Roosevelt into the
campaign as th6 third'party candidate
to "split the republican party." AH
this without the knowledge or consent
of Colonel Roosevelt. Then. Mr. Law
son knew in a general way a mysteri
ous fund of $1,000,000 had been raised
in Wall street to deadlock the demo
cratic convention at Baltimore, pre
vent the nomination of any of the
candidates before the convention, and
to name a dark horse satisfactory to
the "system" who was to be elected.
"I communicated this information
to Mr. Bryan at Chicago during the re
publican convention," said Mr. Law
son. "and as a result Mr. Wilson was
nominated ahd the scheme failed."
Frank A. Munsey, who preceded Mr.
Lawson, argued at length with the
committee against the publcity as the
present investigation as enforced had
"frozen up the pocketbooks" of the
wealthy. He outlined his own expen
