WASHINGTON. May 5. Senator
Dolllver, of Iowa, today continued his
tariff speech and again he secured the
undivided attention of the senate.
Ke-calllng that Mr. Aldrlch had said
yesterday that It would be shown to
the senate that no changes Increasing
cotton rates had been made by the
senate committee on finance, Mr. Dol
llver Said that if that waa a correct
statement he would expect all of the
italics carrying senate amendments to
be stricken from the measure. The
fact was, he said, that these cotton
rates were Increased. lie then read
from a New York newspaper which
he added had for "twenty years been
watchful of the spiritual side of the
senator from Massachusetts," (Mr.
Lodge,) a statement to the effect that
Mr. Lodge had said that as reported
from the committee on finance the
cotton schedule as amended by the
senate committee was "of great value
to Massachusetts." The same article
he said, also appeared In a Boston
paper.
Cotton Rates Increased.
Mr. Dolllver said Mr. Lodge, was
quoted as saying that the ad valorem
rate in cotton had been Increased. Mr.
Lodge said that must be a misquota
tion. "I stated," he said, "that the ad
valorem rates had not been In
creased."
"Then," responded the Iowa sena
tor nrdmptly, "you were mistaken In
stating that, as I hare demonstrated

(By Associated Press.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 5. Then
has been so much talk about tlv
decree of this court In the Missouri
rate cases that It seems strange t'
me that an appeal has not been taken
from that decree. "Do you Intend to
appeal?" asked Federal Judge Smith
McPherson today of Attorney General
Major of Missouri at the hearing to
decide whether lthe (temporary re
straining order of the Federal court
enjoining the state from Interfering
In the rate cases was to he made per
manent. Judge McPherson had re
called Attorney General Major to the
stand as a witness to ask the questi.vi
a'nd Mr. Major said a transcript fi r
.in appeal to the United States Su
preme court was now' preparing.
"Well, why have ynu wnlted so long
to file your appeal?" continued th
judge
"Because the record of the caie
Is voluminous and the law allows twi
years in which to file an appeal." re
sponded the attorney general. After
leaving the witness stand Mr. Major
stated that hr expected to appeal In
case to the Supreme court abojt
July 1.
The attorney general was the cen
tral figure around whom the proceed
ings took form today. He was S'lh

(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, May 5. Feeling that'
real step forward In the world's geaee
movement had been taken, delegates
to the second national congress,
brought their three days' convention
to a close with a banquet tonight.
The day was notable for three tea-,
tures: The smothering of resolutions
Introduced by a socialist and aooio
what tinged with the sentiments of
that party; the address of the official
representatives of seven nations, and
the adoption of appropriate resolu
tions: Ambassador Count Von Bernstorff,
and Minister Wu Ting Fang, in person
appeared for Germany and China re
spectively. Illness In his family alone
prevented the presence of Herman D
Lagercranz, Swedish minister. Rich
ard A. Dalllnger. secretary of the In
terior, represented the United States.
Others of the International representa.
tlon were Alfred Mitchell Ines. coun
sellor of the British embassy; K. Mat
aubara, Japanese consul at Chicago
and Dr. Halvadan Koht, of the Uni
versity of Norway.
Tonight the delegates were enter

speakers.

LAWYERS FOR DEFENCE
OF TURPENTINE MEN
Claim that Government Has
Not Establised its Case
by Adequate Proof.
DECISION RESERVED
SAVANNAH, Ga May D A crisis
was reached today In the yial of the
so-called turpentine "trust" case to
day when the defense asked Judge
William B. Bheppard, who Is presid
ing, to direct a verdict of not guilty
as to all the defendants. In the
absence of the jury this motion was
argued all day. Late in the after
noon the court took the matter under
advisement without Intimating wheth
er h would grant the request of the
defense. It Is expected that his de
cision will be handed down tomorrow
morning.
It was predicted by attorneys who
have closely followed the case that
one or more of the defendants would
fare as did Charles J. DeLoach, sec
retary of the American Naval Stores
company who is exonerated, though
a verdict In his favor was requested
by the prosecution.
Judge Samuel B. Adams made the
opening and closing arguments for
th,e defense on the motion to direct
a' verdict. W. M. Toomer of Jack
sonville. Fla., represented the prose
cution in the argument and was
followed by Mr. Akerman.
Mr. Toomer made a striking asser
tion when he said "while I don't want
any of my friends 4t home to dis
credit me, It does seem to me that
If two things are established at all
they are these, that Savannah Is the
primary market which these gentle
men manipulated and that Jackson
ville is the burying ground for com
petitors who attempt to do business."
Mr. Turner stated that the govern
ment would contend thst nine out
of the twelve specifications In the
indictment had been proven. He said
It was true that no evidence Is In
three specifications.
Judge Adsms In referring to the
case of the Consolidated Grocery com
pany laid:
"Tea. some of these gentlemen are
familiar with that ease. Even the
distinguished United States senator
from Florida who did not think It
beneath his dignity to use a stolen
letter, knows about the Consolidated
Grocery company." ...,
