Washington, June 17. Such esti
mates of the bids for the government's
3 per cent. $50,000,000 Panama loan
as are available tonight, indicate that
the loan has been three times over
subscribed and that the average price
of the new bonds will run a little over
102.r.o. The bonafide bids received
will total about $170,000,000. Of that
amount $2,300,000 was subscribed at
3 per cent, or more; $32,000,000 at
over $81,000,000 at between
101.50 and 102.50, and $52,000,000 at
102 and under.
The successful ' bidders ; and the
amounts which they will receive are
as follows: -Harvey Fisk & Sons, of
New York, $10,000,000; Hanover Na
tional Bank, of New" York, $4,600,000;
American Exchange National Bank,
of New York, $3,100,000; William A.
Reed & Son of New York, $1,000,000;
Seaboard National Bank of New York,
jtiMi.iMiii; National Park Bank of New
York, $o0ii,O00; Folsom & Adams, New

Bank of Chicago, $350,000; Hibernia
Savings & Loan Company of San
Francisco, $300,000; Seattle National
Bank, Seattle, Wash., $200,000.
The majority of what remains avail
able below these sums will go to small
bidders scattered all over the country.

who bid for $10,000,000.
The government's new 3 per cent.
J50.OOO.OOO Panama loan is a complete
success. More than 3,000 bids opened
today oversubscribed it at least three
times and probably more.
Before the opening of the bids had
been in progress half an hour, Treas
ury officials declared that the loan
would be entirely taken by compara
tively small investors at a price high
er than 102 1-2.
The prices bid for the new bonds
are taken to indicate that the Na
tional credit of the United States is
the highest in the world. Securities
of England, France and Germany are
selling at a discount and many finan
ciers believed that the new Panama
loan would bring little above par. The
price of these securities available for
investment only, are taken to reflect
the credit of the nation.
The National City Bank, of New
York, submitted 50 bids covering, the
entire issue of $50,000,000 at prices
ranging from 100.5001 to 102.25. Har
vey Fisk & Sons, of New York, bid
1"2.77 lor $20,000,000. There were
other large bids at about that figure.
Among the smaller bids prices ran
to lor, and higher for small allottments
of $:,(io and up. Hundreds of bids for
sums ranging from $1,000,000 to $10,-
at prices between 1.02.50 and
1"3 probably will take the issue,
though the successful bidders may not
be known until tomorrow.

Joseph F. Smith Summoned to Testi
fy Before Committee Investigat
- ing Sugar Trust Chairman
Hafdwick's Ultimatum.
Washington, June 17. Joseph F.
Smith, of Salt Lake City, head of the
Mormon church, must come to Wash
ington to testify before the House
committee investigating the so-called
sugar trust, regarding his connection
with the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company.
Replying to a message from Mr. Smith
saying that an attack of rheumatism
and business obligations would pre
vent his appearance here, Chairman
Harawick, of the committee tonight
sent this ultimatum :
"Committee has determined to have
your testimony; the only question left
is will you come on the 22nd without
subpoena, or shall we send an officer
to serve you? Please answer at
once."
At a late hour tonight Mr. Smith
had not been heard from again.
In his message to Mr. Hardwick,
the head . of the Mormon church de
clared that "the sugar industry in
Utah and Idaho is one of the great
blessings to the people of those
States. The men in management are
capable, honest men. any one of whom
can give you air the information that
I can, and more, in regard to the de
tails of the business. I am always wil
ling to give evidence in any business
in which I am connected, but my obli
gations here make it exceedingly dif
ficult,- if not impossible for me to
reach Washington by the 22nd. John
Henry Smith, one of the presidency of
the church, a director and member of
the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, is
now in the East and could, without
expense to the government, meet your
committee and answer any questions
possible for- mo to answer. Besides
all this, I am suffering with sciatica
rheumatism and am in no health to
go to Washington."
ASKS ARMY INVESTIGATION.
Representative Kahn Introduced Reso
lution In the House.
Washington,. June 17. Representa
tive Kahn, of Calfornia, introduced in
hte House today a resolution which
would provide for a thorough investi
gation of the Army, and which declares
that the United States should be giv
en an efficient fighting force. iiLj-etuni
for 'the one Jrandred million5' dollars
and more expended every year on te
military, establishment. The resolu
tion would direct the appointment of
a Congressional Committee of ten to
sit at any place deemed fit and to call
upon the War Department for any doc
uments desired.
"I understand from men who are in
?. position to iknow," said Representa
tive Kahn, in commenting upon his
resolution, "that the recent mobiliza
tion on the Mexican frontier was rath
er a failure. True, the troops were
promptly dispatched to the place of
rendezvous, but having arrived at
their destination it developed that
there was such a lack of organization
that it required several months' time
to make the one division of troops
that were moDilized in Texas half
way effective.
"This would indicate that under our
present system it is impossible to mob
ilize a single division of troops at war
strength within reasonable time, it
clearly shows that something is rad
ically wrong and the sooner we find
out what that something is the better
for the country. We expend upwards
of $100,000,000 a year on our military
establishment.lt ought to be in a com

cers of the flotilla.
The run from Provincetown to this

IN HOUSE SPEECH
Paynes Accuses Them of
Abandoning Their Free
Trade Principles.
CRITICISES FREE LIST BILL
Declares No Such Crude Measure Was
Ever Brought Before House Be
fore Spoke During the
Wool Debate.
Washington, June 17. Accusing the
Democrats -of having abandoned their
free trade principles in the framing of
the wool tariff revision hill and declar
ing they are as much one-man ruled
as they ever charged the Republicans
with having been, Representative Se
reno E. Payne, of New Yorfc chairman
of the committee which framed the
Payne-Aldrich tariff made the prin
cipal speech in the wool debate today.
Referring to the Farmers' Free uist
bill, he said:
"No such crude measure ever before
was brought into this House by any
committee. There is not a man on
either side who can tell within $15,-
000,000 to $50,000,000 what difference
it would make in the revenues."
In regard to the wool schedule of
the Payne-Aldrich law, Mr. Payne
said:
"I want to revise and equalize the
woolen schedule and equalize the da
ties. But I was not able to carry it
through."
He made a defense, however, of the
bill as a whole.
Mr. Payne declared that the real
reason the Democrats had not put raw
wool on the free list was because
"some gentlemen at home had said it
would ruin them and their State if
there was no duty paid on wool."
As to one-man power, he said it
"makes no difference- whether it is
one man who enforces the rules In
the Speaker's chair and who appears
in the open of whether he pulls the
wires that control the caucus. You
Irf e about as fre"e as the white slaves
we hear so much about."
"Did not the shoe manufacturers,'1
Speaker Clark asked Mr. Payne,
"promise us, when the tariff bill was
in committee two years ago, that if
we took the tariff off hides they would
give us cheaper shoes? Yet I have
seen no reduction in the price of
shoes.'
Mr. Clark referred to the United
Shoe Machinery Company, which he
said, was, in his opinion, as "tight a
trust as there was in the country."
"Why has not the Attorney General
prosecuted this trust?" he asked. "Did
you refer to him the testimony given
before the committee about the
trust?"
"No," said Mrfc Payne, "I am not
a prosecuting officer."
Mr. Payne admitted that in his opin
ion, the shoe machine manufacturing
industry in this country is controlled
by a trust.
Representatives Foster, of Illinois,
and Mays, of Florida, spoke in favor
of the bill.
With the intention of closing gen
eral debate on the bill the House held
a night session tonight and Represen
tatives favoring and opposing the bill
were given a chance to speak. Chair
man Underwood hopes to. reach a vote
in the measure next Tuesday or Wed
nesday. SUMMON WHOLE ASSEMBLY.
Want All Illinois Solons to Testify at
Lorimer Inquiry.
Washington; June 17. The Lorimer
Investigating Committee of the Sen
ate today practically decided to sum

islature, which elected Senator Lori
mer. Cyrus H. McCormick, president
of the ,lnternational Harvester Com
pany, and former Governor Richard

Each will be questioned as to his
knowledge of the collection and dispo
sition of the $100,000 fund alleged to
have been used in procuring the elec
tion of Mr. Lorimer. Mr. Yates also
will be interrogated concerning his
knowledge of the so-called "Jack pot"
fund in the Illinois Legislature.
The decision to summon as witness
es practically all of the Illinois Legis
lators is accepted as proof that the
committee proposes to examine every
one having the slightest knowledge
of the facts surrounding the election.

FOR HOOSE
Vote on Wool Tariff Revision and Con

charge Calendar Monday
Pension Bil NexL
j:
Washington, June 17. Delay in the
smooth progress of 'the Democratic
legislative programme and the' vote
c,n the tyooI tariff revision bill will De
occasioned Monday, because the Dem
ocrats of the House for the first time
since the beginning of the Special
session today were unable to muster
enough votes to support a motion o
adjourn until Tuesday, and avoid con
sideration of the committee discharge
calendar.
Ever since the opening ot the ses
sion the Democrats have successfully
dodged a peril in this calendar, the
"dollar-a-day" pension bill, but they
must face the issue Monday. Major
ity Leader Underwood said tonight
that the caucus had bound the party
not to extend the legislative pro
gramme into pension matters or any
thing else except the tariff and for
that reason the Democrats would vote
down motions to discharge the com
mittees from consideration of bills
with which the calendar has been fill
ed by members of the Republican mi
nority. The only way the ' Democrats can
avoid a vote on the pension bill Mon
day is by adjournment immediately al
ter the House convenes. The Demo
cratic whips have sent'out an appeal
to members who are out of town and
by Monday Mr. Underwood hopes to
have sufficient strength to enable him
tc run his steam roller over the Re
publican opposition.
Will Come Up Tuesday.
Washingtn, June 17. General de
bate on the Underwood bill revising
the wool tariff schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law, closed tonight in the
House of Representatives after ten
days of discussion. The bill will be
called up under the five-minute rule on
Tuesday and will be placed upon it3
passage before adjournment of that
day. There is little doubt that it will
pass tno House on a straight party
vote.
Much of the time was consumed by
Representative Payne, of New York,
in denouncing the Underwood bill as
"unintelligent" and .defending the
tariff law of 190$ vtftetr ears his
name. A night . session was held in
order to complete the discussion in
asmuch as the Democrats were forced
because of a temporary lack of votes
to devote Monday to consideration of
the committee discharge calendar.
.Speeches in opposition to the bill
were made tonight by Representatives
Anderson, of Minnesota; French, of
Idaho; James, of Massachusetts, and
Dyer, of Missouri. Defendants of the
measure were Representatives Martin
of Colorado, and Cullop, of Indiana.
EDGAR S. COOKE ACQUITTED.
Charged With Embezzling $24,000
From Big Four Road.
Cincinnati, June 17 "Not guilty,"
was the verdict returned here today
by the jury trying the case of Edgar
S. Cooke, of Chicago, who was charg
ed with having embezzled $24,000 from
the Big Four railroad. It took less
than two hours for the jury to reach
this decision, and thus ends what
proved to be 'one of the most sensa
tional and dramatic trials held in Cin
cisnati courts in years.
The trial was the last of three in
connection with the $643,000 shortage
of Charles L. Warriner, Cincinnati
treasurer of the road, who Is now serv
ing a six year sentence in the Ohio
penitentiary. The second trial was
that of Mrs. Jeannette Stewart Ford
"the woman in the case," and this
trial the jury disagreed. She was
charged with blackmail.
rrobably the most touching inci
dent of the Cooke trial followed di
rectly after the announcement of the
verdict. It was when Mrs. Cooke,
wife of the accused man, rushed to
the jury, eyes brimming with tears
and thanked each of them personally.

sailors hovering near to dissuade
strike breakers from enlisting. The

El Norte are fast to their docks.
The men celebrated the progress of
the strike in joyous mood. A thous
and or . more members of the union
gathered in mass meeting near the
river front late today in view of the
anchored vessels and roared an an
nouncement across the water to the
silent ships that they were ready "to
tight all bummer.
Officials of the line replied by send
ing out a boat load of recruits, but
the picketing tugs intercepted the
strike breakers and few reached their
destination. There was no disorder,
however.
General Secretary Griffen, of the
Seamen's Union, tonight announced
that other coastwise lines would be
involved in the strike unless the un
ion's demands were granted by next
Thursday.
C. W. Junger, general manager of

owners. ,
On the other hand, the manager of
the shipping federation said that the
position of that organization had not
changed.

London, June 17. Led by "Gener
al" Mrs. Drummond, astride a fine
charger, a collossal coronation proces
sion of suffragettes, estimated at from
forty to sixty thousand women, march
ed through the streets ot London to
night preparatory to the meeting at
Albert Hall. The parade, which is
said to ha,ye been the greatest proces
sion of .wtunen in support of the suf
frage mQjejbeht tue worM has ever
svhjttvniik fortgatton
from the Victoria embankment Which
leads east from Westminster bridge
and proceeded along the coronation
route to Kensington.
Militant and non-militant suffraget
tes combined on this occasion, all
question- of taste was put aside, and
Queens and those garbed to repre
sent such characters as Boadicea,
Catherine of Aragon, Mary Queen of
Scots and Queen Victoria, ruibbed
shoulders with fellow workers in the
suffrage cause from the sweat shops
of White --a pel.
Every phase of social, professional

the representatives of many continen
tal and eastern nations in their na
tive garb. v-
Immense crowds viewed the pag

birds," were heard, as the martyrs to
the cause passed, but on the whole
their reception was not so antagonis

cut that for the first time the mili
