Senate Sub-Committee Named to Make New - Investigation. 18 PROBE CASE AT ONCE Fbur Democrats and -Four Republi cans Named Half of Commit tee Voted in Illinois Sena tor's Fovor at Hearing. Wellington,' June 5. Senators Dil liiisUKiin, Gamble, Jones and Kenyon, KepublU-ans, and Fletcher, Johnston, Kern and Lea, Democrats, will con stiti te Hie sub-committee that win conduit the new investigation into the bribery charges against Senator Lorimer. They were named for this duty today by the Committee on Priv ilege, ami Elections and are all lfaiiy to begin services wun ay me i'utiioiity of a full committee as soon is the Senate approves. Of the eight nieiulieis, Messrs, Dillingham and Gamble, Republicans, l and Fletcher, ami Johnston, Democrats, voted ; i for Lorimer in the previous investigation. Air. Jones, Republican, voted against him. .Messrs. Kenyon, Republican, an,i Kern and ! Lea, Democrats, were nut then members of the Senate. They are known, however, to be opposed to Mr. Lorimer. The committee considered first Mr. Kenyon's motion directing the inves tigation as a '.whole, but after brief discrssion it was rejected by a vote of to 10, affirmative votes being cast by Senators Kenyon, Clapp and Jones. The resolution providing for the appointment 4f a sub-committee of eight was proposed v by Mr. Bailey, Junior Democratic member of the committee, and it named Messrs. Dil lingham, Gamble, Clapp and Suther land, Kepublicans, and Messrs. Flech cr, Johnston, Kern and Lea. This Mowed thcjule of seniority except where senators had refused to permit the ii3e of their names and insofar 33 its impartiality could be assumed. Among those declining to serve on the ground of other engagements were Messrs. Bailey and Painter, .Dem ocrats, and Heyburn, Republican. When the list was read Messrs. Clapp and Sutherland voluntarily re tired in favor of Messrs. Kenyon and Jones. Contending for the riile of seniority, Mr. Bailey suggested that Messrs. Bradley and Oliver should be designated.- When, however, it was pointed out that both of those sen ators were ineligible, because, in the previous inquiry they had voted for Lorimer, the Texas senator yielded and the Iowa and Washington, sena tors were added to the list. The sub-committee adopted, a reso lution for presentation to the Senate tomorrow to clothe the sun-committee with all the powers of a special com mitter, it is expected that he resolu tion will encounter comparatively lit tle opposition. The sub-committee has indicated a disposition to confine the sittings to Washington as closely as posible, but it is understood that Illinois will be tisited. The committee will be em powered to sit during sessions of tue Senate and thero will be an effort to conclude the' work during the extra session. Investigation Will Be Thorough.

Pryce reiterated his intention to-set up a republic in the lower Cal ifornia Peninsular. "I have telegraphed to Madero, ask ing for his acquiescence and support," said he. "If he decides to oppose us, it will mean a hard struggle. We may have to abandon Tijuana. However, there are other towns in the peninsu lar t than can be made impregnable f nd' it would require a large army to drive us out." To Fight Lower California. Juarez, Mex., June 5. For the first time in three months a train, arrived in Juarez direct from Mexico City to day, by way of Chihuahua:" The reop ening of the road will enable Federal troops to evacuate Chihuahua and in surrectos to take possession.

Great Honors for" Madero. Mexico City, June 5. When Fran cisco I. Madero, Jr., enters the capital on Wednesday thousands will greet him at the station and soldiers of the army which he whipped will line the streets. In his honor military bands will play and the police, whose duty it once was to arrest those who car cried "Viva Madero," will .join in the greeting. . Officially. Madero is a private citi zen, and, therefore, the guns of the garrison will give him no salute, and legally the Mexican national hymn may not be played; but all that I may be done under the law will be done by official Mexico as well as by the populace to make him welcome. " But there will be one note of dis appointment for thousands of men who have borne the hardships of war. The revolutionists in Cuernavaca are to have no part in the celebration. This was decided today, . but neither they nor representatives in the capitals have ceased iff their efforts to have the edict withdrawn. Fearing that the presence of -so many armed men, not accustomed to discipline of the regular army might result in trouble, government officers deemed it wise to refuse their plea for participation in the festivities Madero's train will be met a short distance out of the city by another, in which will be committees repre senting various political clubs. They Will escort him and those with him to the capital. It is planned, that- Made ro will go directly to his home and from a balcony address the crowd. Dozens of clubs havingjis their mo tive the booming of Madero, have been, organized since the close of the war; and all of these are active in planning the reception of the man they later will support for the Presi dency. They have agreed that Made ro shall ride through the . streets or the city at the end of a1 procession. It is expected that a military ascort will be provided. In addition to the various clubs there will be divisions made up of- all classes of commercial employes, ' of workmen from factories; even ath letic clubs have asked for places in the line. Everywhere the national col ors are' making their appearance') and it is expected that hundreds of pri vate houses and even the public build-r Ings will be decorated in honor of the erstwhile rebel chief.

WILL HEAR SECRETARY KNOX Newspaper Publishers Were Heard Yesterday Associated Press De nies That It Sent Out Prej udiced Reports. Washington, June 5. Public hear ings in ' the Canadian reciprocity bill were concluded by the Senate fyinance Committee today, representatives of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association and of the Asociated Press being the last to appear before the committee. Secretary of State Knox, at the re qutest of Senator Bailey, has been asked to explain to the committee tomorrow whether the Root amend ment to the paper section ot" the bill providing that it shall not be in force until the President is satisfied and has issued a proclamation to the ef fect that paper and wood pulp are be ing admitted free into all the provin ces of Canada, is in full accord with the agreement as understood by the commissioners from both countries who prepared the treaty. On Wed day the committee will take up the bill in executive session to discuss committee action. Both Herman Ridder, until recent ly president of the American News papers' Association, and Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Assoc iated Press, testified today, in answer to queries from various senators, that in their opinion no effort had been made by the newspapers of the coun try to present only one side of the re ciprocity agreement to color their re ports on the question or to suppress any facts which were of news value. Brllco." Haldeman, president of the Publishers' Association, and Frank B. Nqyes, president of the' Associated Press, also appeared. The chief interest whicthe news papers of the country have in the matter, Mr. Ridder told the commit tee, Is their desire to free themselves from the paper manufacturers trust which now, he added, has the publish ers at its mercy. The readers of the country would benefit by cheaper pa per as well as the publishers, he de clared, because the money saved on paper could be used to furnish a larg er atid better news service. Mr. Ridder acknowledged that the Publishers' Association has sent out bulletins and letters urging the pass age of the reciprocity measure. "But I would not have favored the meas ure' he said, "if I had not thougnt it would, be of benefit to the country as a, whole, independent of my inter est in it, as a newspaper publisher.-' When Mr. Ridder attacked the pa per trust, which he said limited the output, fixed the price and told the publisher where he must buy his pa per, both Senators "McCumber and; Bailey, opponents of the bill declared that if there was such a trust they wanted to see it prosecuted by the government. Mr. Ridder insisted, in answer to numerous questions, that any amendment to the bill would, in his opinion, endanger and probably kill the measure and that, therefore, he was In favor of seeing the bill passed exactly as it came from the House. Mr. Stone testified that no instruc tions had been sent out to Asociated Press correspondents as to Canadian leciprocity, except that they had been told to send any important matter connected with it because of the gen eral interest of the subject. He was questioned in detail as to the Assoc iated Press service by a number of Senators. All reports, he said, were supposed to be absolutely fair to both sfdes, to be a recital of facts on their news value only. HAD TO PAY WIFE $75,000.

Greensboro, N. C.l June 5. In the United States District Court today, Judge James E. Boyd while charging the grand jury with reference to the trusts, said that the recent decisions of the Supreme Court which declared the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company ilegal combinations, did not mean only that the corporations as legal entities were guilty of a criminal offense but that the active agencies and instrumental ities, whether they be other corpora tions or persons, would also be guil ty of a criminal violation of the law. "That is," said he "such agencies as were part and parcel of the combi nation hich these corporations had formed and which were a part and parcel of the common design which these principal corporations proposed to carry out. If such agencies or in strumentalities, whether in the form of corporations or associations, being a part of the combination or organi zation of the Standard Oil Company or the American Tobacco Company, such agencies in the opinion of the Supreme Court have violated the anti-trust act of Congress." He said the people and the courts have been waiting on this decision in being guided as to their actions to ward illegal" compacts or combina tions and that sine the Supreme Court had undertaken to describe the meaning of illegal restraint it now becomes the- duty of the authorities to enforce the law ana emorce it strenuously. He said that if agen cies of these corporations are found in the treritory of the court unlawful ly engaged they are guilty. DIVORCE ON QUEER GROUNDS. Chicago Woman Says Husband is Chasing Wealth.

PREJUDICE AGAINST THE JEWS Colonel Garrard Met President's Dis approval for Refusing to Recom mend Young Jews for Ar my Promotion. . Washington, June 5. President "Taft today created something of a sensation when he rebuked Col. Jo seph Garrard, commanding the caval ry Post at Fort Myer, Va., for disap proving Private Frank Bloom's effort forpromotion because of Bloom's Jew ish parentage. Col. Garrard's endorse ment characterized Jews as "not -desirable social associates," apd Presi dent Taft immediately directed the Secretary of War to investigate the matter. The President stamped the expressions as those of narrow race prejudice. He also said it was hard to deal with the matter "with patience and without condemnatory words that had better not be written." The War Department pointed out that there have been many Jews among the ar my officers. Notwithstanding the President's in quiry directed to the Secretary of War as to what should be done to dis cipline Col. Garrard, the incident has been practically closed with the re buke. The Department decided that there was no ground for a cOurt mar tial; an officer being at liberty to ex press his actual belief as. to the avail ability of any candidate from the ranks. It was concluded that the President's purpose would be best served by the publication of the cor respondence and with the delivery of a-copy to Col. Garrard with a-letter from the Secretary of War duly ad monishing hira not to repeat the en dorsement. The case of young Bloom, who is a private in Battery F, of the Third field artillery, now on duty on. the Mexican border, was brought to Presi dent Taft's attention by Simon Wolf, a prominent lawyer of this city. Sev eral years ago Bloom was urged for appointment to West Point. Presi dent Roosevelt,, not being in a posi tion at the time to make the appoint ment, suggested to Bloom that he en list and "like a true American" fight his way up from the ranks. Bloom took the advice, entered the army, where he is said to have made a good record, and recently took his first ex amination for promotion. It is said that Bloom failed in this examination but in view of the prejudice brought about by Col. Garrard's endorsement, Bloom will be allowed a final examina tion in September. "I shall take steps to see that the examination to which Private Bloom is subjected is one in which he will be given a fair chance and not be ex posed to any unjust prejudice," de clared the President in a letter to Mr. Wolf. Col. Garrard's endorsement on Bloom's papers, to which Mr. Taft so strongly objected, was as follows: "The applicant is a son of Mr. Jo seph A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion, who is now, and has been for a num ber of years, a tailor at this post. His associates, as far as I know, and that of his family, have been' with enlist ed men and their families and have been respectable. "The young man is undoubtedly honest and upright, ambitious and pro bably deserving, but for the reasons stated, I would not desire him in my command as an officer and a social and personal associate. The presence of the applicant's family at a military post would be subversive of discipline and their probable treatment a source of mortification to them and frequent cause of trouble to commanding offi cers. From an experience of many years I have not found, except in cas es, communities where Jews are' re ceived as desirable social associates." President Taft, in his letter tc the Secretary of War, directing him to ex amine into the record of Young Bloom's case said: "The statements made by Col. Gar rard are not true with reference to the standing that Jews have in this country; and I resent, as commander-in-chief of the army and the navy, that any officer should permit himself in an official document to give evidence of such unfounded and narrow race prejudice as that contained in this endorsement." The President's reprimand follows: "The President directs the Secreta ry of War to inform Col. Garrard that his attitude in this matter ia strongly disapproved as contrary to the Ideals and principles of this country. "Col. Garrard has been told that he has no moral right to exert influence in his official position to bar the ad vancement of a courageous and! effi cient young man simply because fhat man was of Jewish race; that such procedure indicates not only prejudice that should not be found In an officer of his position and -experience, but amounts to a failure to justly and fair ly consider the merits and claims of the applicant tas shown by bis efficient REBUK OFFICER COMMENCEMENT AT TRINITY Bacalaureate Address by President Few Meeting of Trustees Many Prominent Visitors in Attendance. (Special Star Telegram.) Trinity College, Durham, N. C, June 5- In the presence of an audience that filled almbst to overflowing the large Craven Memorial Hall, Presir dent Few began last night the exercisi es of the first commencement under the new administration at Trinity Col lege. The occasion was the delivering of the baccalaureate address to the grad uating class of 1911, which numbers more than thirty. All of the larger churches of the city dispensed with their evening services, and the size hof the audience indicated that an un usually large percentage of those con gregations attended the exercises. With an excellent choir containing the very best voices in the city, Direc tor T. E. Cheek furnished music for the occasion. Several inspiring selec tions were rendered to the delight of the audience. One of the features of this com mencement will be the y earing by' the members of the graduating class of caps and gowns. These were in evidence last night, and added greatly to the appearance and dignity of the occasien. Many prominent preaches and lay men are present from the North Caro lina and Western North Carolina Con ferences. Rev. John C. Wooten, pas tor of Grace Methodist Church, Wil mington," is here, and was greeted by a host of friends who knew and loved him while he was a member of the faculty of Trinity College as head of the department of Biblical Literature. President Few chose as his subject "Force and Right in the Government, of the World," and delivered a pro found address. Board of Trustees.

Kilgo received a mes sage tonight from President Henry N. Snyder, of Wofford College, Spartan burg, S. C, stating that Wofford had confernad the L.L. D. degree upon President Wm. Preston Few, of Trin ity College. This is a high honor, ap propriately conferred. President Few is just now rounding up his first year as the head of Trinity College, and Bishop Kilgo is authority for the state ment that this is1 the greatest year in every respect in the history of the in stitution. President Few has' proved himself a capable leader in every way and the whole community congratu lates him upon this compliment. A feature of the meeting of the Board of Trustees was the annual re port of President Few, which outlined a fine year's work at the college. Dur ing the year 616 students were matric ulated in all departments, 363. in the college, 182 in Trinity Park School, and 71 in extension courses in second ary education. The additions in im provements in buildings and grounds now under way, when they are com pleted, will give the college a great plant. The first need of the college, the president says, is an increased en dowment. If the work as now project ed is carried on successfully the en dowment must be at once increased by an addition of at least one million dollars. In concluding his excellent report President Few says: . "As I close this my first report to the board I cannot forbear to express my deep sense of gratitude to those who have preceded me for the price less heritage they have transmitted aj.d to pledge my utmost endeavor to keep worthy of the. past and, If possi ble, bettered by this generation, to hand on to future ages an institution which, by all the commitments of its origin, its constitution, and its ideals, is highly dedicated to the widest ser- service and excellent standing in the mental examinations. .

' - i - TOR IS LOST IN SEA FLIGHT Lieutenant Bague Has Met the Fate of Cecil Grace. r HOLDS THE OVER-SEA RECORD Daring Frenchman Attempted to Fly From Nice to Corsica Warship Can Find No Trace of Him. J Still Searching. 1 Nice, June 5. It appears more and more probable tonight that Lieut. Bague, the French aviator, has met the fate of Cecil .Grace, the English man, who was lost in the North Sea while at pting a flight from Calais to Dover .ast December. Lieut. Bague who holds the over-sea flight record, left Nice in his aeroplane this morn ing for a trip to Corsica. The dis tance between the two points is a lit tle more than a hundred miles and when nothing was heard from the dar ing aviator, torpedo boat destroyers were sent to seek him. The destroyer Arbalette returned here this evening from Corsica and re ported that it could find no trace of Bague. Other naval vessels are con tinuing the search, but it is feared it will prove fruitless. The aviator took carrier pigeons with him and it Is sup posed that the aeroplane capsized so suddenly that he was unable to set them loose. The Arbalet left again for Corsica at a late hour to make a further hunt for the missing aviator, by means of search lights. On March 5th last, Lieut. Bague made a sensational and daring flight' over the Mediterranean from Antibes ( to the little island of Gorgona, off the Italian coast. He covered the dis- (124.5 miles)' establishing a new reft-'; ord for over-sea flighta. It has been his original intention to land at-AJac-cio, on the west coast of Corsica, but he lost his way and by bo doing cover ed a greater distance over the water than if he had carried out his original plan.
