SEN'SA- The explanation of Simmons Is regarded a lame and unsatisfac tory, and it is said his statement about the Eller . circular will bring revelations which will in volve Simmons in grave danger of defeat In the campaign for re election to the senate he Is now conducting. It la asserted by North Carolinians In Washington that Eller never saw the circular alluded to by Simmons, and that It wa really written at the dicta tion of lumber men by a clerk In Eller office, - who, without au thority, attached to It the name ' of the chairman of th State Ex ecutive committee of the Demo - crattc party. -Washington cor respondence of the Philadelphia i Record. Circular Expected to Cause Stir. It ia said tonight that a aen ' sation will develop out of this , Eller circular. Representative . Claude Kitchin of North Caro lina, who oppose Simmons, promise an Interview on the subject tomorrow, and promi nent North Carolinians here say that Eller never saw the circular, which. It ia asserted by them, was written by a lumber trust clerk In hi office, Eller name being attached to It Washing ton correspondence of the Balti more Sun, . Taking into consideration doubU as to the present condition of the mem ory of the Democratic State chair man. It would perhaps be going too far to say that Mr. Eller knew his line In the farce comedy which has served to set forth powerfully the de termination, If not the desperation, Democracy. j But Eller knew hi cue, and so did very man-Jack in the plot, from Wln- ton-Salera to Philadelphia. When Simmon got up to spek Kern, or Oore, or some of them was to prod him about hi position on the lumber tariff Claude Kitchin had seen to that Almost the very word of Sim mona reply could have been given In advance-by the vtraatile Claude. He would, and did, say that the commit tee, Mr. Eller chairman, prepared and circulated broadcast a pledge on the part of the Democratic executive commute that no Democratic sena tor or representative from the state would vote, notwithstanding the na tional platform declaration, to put lumber on the free list unless mill machinery were also put on the free liat . .. ... ' , - Eller was to stand from under by either saying outright or Insinuating . that he knew aothlng About any such pledge. The thing , was carefully planned and rehearsed for days, per haps for weeks, before the event Northern newspaper men knew enough about It to b In position to advise their paper as to what Eller would say or what he would sign the night of the day Simmon spoke The evidence In the two quotations at the head "of this article 1 conclusive, Would Eller stand hitched T He would. For by virtu of the favor of hi powerful and resourceful chief. Ooveraer Kitchin, . the . Democratic State chairman Is secretary and treas urer of the North Carolina railroad. Hi duties are to rid on a free pas and draw hi salary, which la 1120 a year. Under these circumstances, , could he reasonably be expected to remember having participated in the issuance of aay document so utterly abhorrent to the Kitchin mind a that lumber pledge T This lumber tariff wa a momentous Issue In the North Carolina campaign, and baa been looming larger ever since. And yet the chairman of the executive committee until this present week knew nothing of the agreement between hi party and the lumber men, except he think he saw some thing about it in some headline. It would be too much to -itct the chairman to, give up a reward like that railroad sinecure, but Democrats, and especially Democratic candidates, rouM hardly be criticised for feeling some niiagivtngs a to his continu ance at the heart of the party organ ization. The Philadelphia paper's man was ' i i,i that the' document wa v v f at the dl tatlon of ' i 1 v a cl.rk In Eller's "i ' ! ni.r ii,n that It who I " ' r tnixt clerk." persuasion to become head of the If party' literary bureau. It may be Ig-nllcant that in this matter It became necessary to attempt to sacrifice a loyal "original" Kitchin man. Perusal of Mr. Maxwell' letter shows that he 1 the sort of partisan Kitchin cannot afford to lose. ' It also shows. that he ha no Intention of Do ing; offered .up. ' . , i FIFTY YEARS AGO, AND NOW. For many years to come, perhaps. the newspaper win be burdened from time to time by the recital of episodes like that In the United State senate yesterday. Incident to the decision to keep on the senate payroll at $72,0 a year, , old Jim. President Jefferson Davis bodyguard, the traditional cus- todlan of the great seal of the Con federacy. Senator Hey burn remarked that he would vote for Jim but not because of hi loyalty to an Infamous cause, to which Senator Williams made the usual explanation and apol ogy, that "Lee and Jackson may have been wrong," it ia a fine thing that the government still stands; but he. Mr. Williams, wa unable to express in parliamentary language the senti ment he has for a human being In whom such sentiment could remain. Of course he was. And why should some man always bounce up and apol ogize for Lee and Jackson whenever these fire-eaters and Hayburner In dulge in their stunt intended for po litical effect at home? There are a great many people who regard the Confederacy a an "infam ous cause" but It is getting out of the fashion to say so. The war is pretty nearly over, and the principal reason is that the remnant of the hosts that slew and devastated are old, feeble men, lovers of peace because they have known war. A week from today, on that field of Manassas where SO year ago In the first great battle of the war, the blood of fratricidal strife poured and ' the peaceful summer landscape wa made a place of anguish and ' horror and death, the remnant of the line of blue and gray are again to form, to ad vance upon one another, to meet Looking back the vista of years, these old ' men cannot understand clearly perhaps why those battles and toils, that great sacrifice of life and treasure, ahould have been neces sary. T.ie deliberate slaughter of fel low countrymen against whom one cherishes no animosity, whom one does not even know by name, la a thing that puszle the mind. The meeting of next Friday will be simpler. ' When the line of feeble men, along the bank of that v little Virginia stream, advance - and meet and clasp hands, their heart 'a tu mult of -emotion and their furrowed cheek streaming tears, they will un derstand. There will be no mystery. no perplexity, a to the significance of the occasion.

A FEGLITE FIELD 0 connuFTfon $o Governor Deneen, Witness in Lorl ner Case, Describes Legislature ot Illinois. ' Washington, July 14. Evidence about the "Jackpot" or general cor ruption funds for the benefit of re calcitrant legislator wa sought from Governor Charles Deneen of Illinois, on his resuming the witness stand be fore the senate Lorlmer . committee today. The governor entered into an anal' ysis of the Illinois legislature to dem onstrate .the existence of a fertile field for- corruption there. He de clared that he did not assist In the election of Senator Lorlmer, as some of the senator's friends claimed, but fought against it to the last He flat ly contradicted the version which Ed ward Hlnea, the Chicago lumberman who is charged with having asked for a Lorlmer election fund contri bution, gave of the famous telephone conversation between the two on the day Senator Lorlmer was elected. May 2, 1909. Mr. Hlne had testi fied he (Hines) telephoned from Chi csgo to Deneen that he "had just com In thia morning from Washing ton, and wa on my way to Spring field to bring the message, to you (Deneen) from Aldrich and the pres ident, urging upon you to do all you possibly can to' assist In the election of a senator at the earliest possible moment" and "that they understood that Lorlmer could be elected if you will assist;" further Mr. Hinea testl fled that he understood Deneen to say he would assist in Lorlmer e election and would see Lorlmer in ten minutes. Governor Deneen testified that Hlnea asked him if he received a re port from the president In reference to Lorlmer. He said Taft had sent message to support Lorlmer. 'I asked him," continued Gov, De- neen. If he had the message, and he answered 'No.' He aaid that the president had sent it and that he had intended to come to Springfield him self but had missed the train by Ave minutes. "I asked him If President Taft sent that message, for I thought It strange for the president to tell me that He said, 'Why he sent It through Senator Aldrich of course he would not send It to you directly who would com municate to you through George Rey nold of the Continental bank.' said. 'Very well.'" "Did you receive a communication from Senator Aldrich or Mr. Rey nold T" asked Attorney J. .J. Healy, who was conducting the examination for the committee. "No, sir." Gov. Deneen denied Mr. Hines ver sion' of the conversation In regard to the Identity of Hines on this occasion and added that he was not certain that It was Hlnea talking, but regard ed the talk just . as he would an anonymous communication.' - ' "Did yod tell Mr. Hlnea that you would assist Mr. Lorlmer?" asked Mr. Healy. "I did not." "Did you tell him you would see Lorlmer T "I did not", GRUEL, UNJUST TO THE FARMER" (Continued from page 1.) his predecessor (Mr. Roosevelt), rev ered and loved everywhere in the United States. Surrender to Special Interests.'' "In all th record of this adminis tration no more glaring example presented of th complete surrender to special Interests and th complete reversal of Roosevelt's progressive policies than that shown in dealing with the amendment to the Inter state commerce act It would have been difficult to frame a piece of legls laiion anecung interstate commerce more harmful to the public Interest than the bill drafted by th attorney general and recommended to congress by President Taft "Heir to the Roosevelt policies a a presidential candidate, Mr. Taft was a pronounced progressive and the lead ing and. ft enthusiaatlo Roosevelt champion from the first to the last of the campaign 1 "Three month after he wa Inau gurated he seemed to have forgotten that there ever had been any well known Roosevelt policies. He had no sooner taken hi oath of office than he sacrificed th progressiva cause for th support of Aldrich and Cannon and their reactionary program. Popular Catchword. "Reciprocity I a popular catch word. Th president seised upon It He made an executive compact the basis, not of a reciprocity treaty, bu of a Uriff bllL Upon thla fa le basis he seeks to force It through congreat without amendment or change. "In letter and spirit this measure violatei every principle and every promise ol the republican platform, express or implied, snd every printed or spoken word and Inducement employed to se cure the votes necessary to elect Wil liam IL Taft. This bill and Canadlait pact are cruelly unjust to 13,000,000 people engaged In and depending, upon agriculture'. ' "Joined with the executive to force this bill through congress are lh newspapers, admitting their selfish In terest amounting to many millions of dollar, the rallrdads, the over pro tected manufacturers and practically every trust and combination becked by Morgan and Morgan Influences."

Mathematician Had to be Call ed in to Settle a Bet on A Baseball Score. There wa almost a suspension of labor the soft pedal on labor in The Gasette-News office thla morning when the cub reporter tramped into the shop and innocently propounded betting proposition in effect: If a man bet that one ball team made more run that the losing team, and the score resulted 1 to 0 did he win? Of course he didn't win," declared one of the fans right off the bat, with a look that spelled "why, don't you know that?" on his face. Another fan timidly replied, "Well. I just be lieve he did.' Then there was a dis cussion. The argument raged up and down the shop when one bold advo cate of the bettor's point of view for time quelled the disturbance by of fering to wager any part of a nickel that he wa right ' , The bet wa discussed pro and con, some of the boy declaring that such a bet could not be won on a 1 to 0 score while others were equally posi tive that one was at least twice as much as nothing and consequently was a winner. "But," replied one of the fellows, "the bet wa that the winning team make twice a many run a the losing team and the win nlng team only made one run.' How do you get runs out of a run?" That put a quietus on the discussion for an Instant until someone suggested that maybe since the losing team failed to make anything . that one became plural. The argument continued un til finally It wa agreed to leave set tlement of the point to a well known Aaheville mathematician who, when questioned,, replied at once that the man who made the bet that the win ning team would -make twice a many runs as the losing team won. "Be. cause," he said, "one Is twice nothing and more." The argument over the bet arose by reason of the fact that a local fan bet on the first game of the Ashe- vllle-Knoxvllle double header ' that the winning team would make twice as many run as the losing team. The score re. suited 1 to 0, and It seems that the stakeholder was undecided as to whether the bet had been won or not The "loser" wa not satisfied and neither wa the man who be lieved he had won. ' The point how ever, is settled now. GOOD ATTENDANCE AT THE BALL UEHINGEXPECTED It Is Necessary to Raise More Money if Team Is to Be . Retained. A announced' in The Gazette New yesterday there will be a mass meeting tonight -at I o'clock In the Interest of baseball foT Aaheville. It Is important that -everybody Interest ed In the national 'game be present at this meeting, too, for It will definitely decide whether or not Ashevllle la to have league baseball the rest of this season and for that matter any other season, for if the gam fall through this year the chance are against Its ever being revived. -' It seem up to the fan to dig dewn and help, too, slae the managi-tivjnt baa put up a good fight for league ball and ha given the city the best team in the league. No on can say that they have don this solely for personal gain either, for the game has never been a paying proposition here. and these men have simply put up a bunch of money in order to give the town people and visitors some really good sport and because they are good fan themselves and enjoy th game for the game' take.. , However, there, la a limit to which tny man will go and at present the management face a deficit of about 11000, which la just about all the Hockholdera oare to put up unless 27 .

Agency for Wood' Seeds. there ia ' some outside enthusiasm shown, i There are several causes for this shortage but the principal ones are: First that the team had to be organized last spring from the ground up and In order to get the present top-notch team a great deal of ma terial had to be signed and brought here for a tryout All thi cost money and there was no return for It. Second, the - recent unpleasantness, for which the management could not be held responsible, resulted In good many fan staying away from the -game, and for two weeks only handful of people witnessed the games here. Now,- however, the people realize the mistake they made and patronage I getting back to a good level, but not to a level sufficiently high to be remunerative.'
