FHDPAGANDA WHIGH SEEKS TO ALARIUI PEOPLEAGAINST REGIPROGJTYJENDUKGED Senator Stone Shows That There Is Nothing to Lose and Much to Gain A GREAT BENEFIT WASHINGTON. May l.-Mr. Stone of Missouri in a speech In the Senate today denounced what he declared to be an unjust propaganda Jto de feat the Canadian reciprocity bill. The attempt, he said, was being made to alarm the American people by painting the ruin that would fol low the free importation of Canadian roods the nroducts of cheap labor. This contention, he declared, was absolutely untrue and he submitted statistics gathered by both govern ments designed to show that both labor and live stock were higher cross the border than In the United States. Senator Gnllinger asserted that the Missouri senator had proved con clusively that there would not be the reduction In the cost of living which It had been contended reciprocity would bring to the United States. Mr. Stone replied that he had not contended that of Itself reclproclty would be of great benefit but had un dertaken to show that It would pro duce no great injury. "And yet we give away ten millions of revenue," Mr. Gallinger retorted. Mr. Stone urged that the great ben eflf.t to be derived from entering Into reciprocity with Canada would be to encourage freer trado with that country, opening the way to freer trade with the world.

PLEA MADE FOR THE " JUTE BAGGING TRUST Vote on Free List Will Probab ly be Deferred rill Latter Part of Week WASHINGTON. May 1. Speeches on the farmers' free list bill in tho house today again sounded the note of Canadian annexation; traversed the whole range of argument concerning announcing an opinion In either the posed of by the house, and came back at times to specific attack or support of the free list bill. Democratic Leader Underwood expressed the hope that a vote may be reached Thursday or Friday but many members wish to speak, and all desired time will fee given. Mr. Madden, of Illinois, in speech today touched the annexation Issue. "i'V Ono People, One Flag. "Hy hope is that If we can have closer commercial -relations with the people of Canada," he said, "soma day this relationship may blend the two peoples Into one harmonious whole, and that the territory lying north of us may become a part of the United States as it should be. I have always believed we should be on peo pie under one flag and under 1 one form of government, and it will be better for us all when such a thing happens. If It -ev jr does." ' Messrs. Gillette, of Massachusetts, and Dyer, of Missouri, attacked the free list bill because It puts Jute bag ging, used to bale cotton with, upon the free list, thereby threatening th,e bag making Industry In this country. Mr. GUlette said the industry would be transferred to India, where the cheap labor would make the bagging, and that the saving to . the .cotton raiser in this country would be about three cents on a 70 bale of cotton. tnarpiv annul tne nagging: ini, " n declared It did not exist. Mr. Bur leson, of Texas, demanded to know If the' whole bag making Industry was not controlled by three firms that par celed out the quantity each should make. Mr. Gillette did not believe this to be a fact. SONS OF REVOLUTION MEET LOUISVILLE, Ky .May 1.

SHOPMENWITHOUTTIME IfllGJIli STRIKE Ten Thousand Mon Are Al leged by the Leaders to Have Walked Out NO DISORDERS YET PITTSBURG, Pa., May I. Without further warning than might be gath ered from a conference of a commit tee with the railroad officials last week, the shopmen of tho Pennsyl vania railroad on the Pittsburg division- extending from this city to Al- ; toona. Pa., struck today and tonight i the officers of the unions assert that about 10,000 men are out. The unions affected are the Broth erhood of Carmen, Boilermakers and Helpers, Sheet Metal Workers, the International Association of Machin ists and Laborers, and the Federal Labor union, an organization of for eign laborers sbout railroads, all of which are affiliated with the Ameri can Federation of Labor. The cause of the strike Is the al legation by the men that in its re trenchment policy, the railroad flls mlssed men that were active In ' or ganizing and carrying on their unions. It had been expected that if a strike was called, It would not be ef fective until Tuesday mcmlag but at a meeting of the executive committee at Pltc-airn, Pa., las, night, swift ac tion was decide .'upon. No statement Is forthcoming from the railroad com pany here beyond the denial made that so many men are out. No semblance of disorder has char acterized the Inauguration of the strike and public notices have been BEREBUILOEDAbl Fire Loss in Maine City Is Now Estimated at Three Mil lion Dollars TWO LIVES WERE LOST IN THE RAGING FLAMES Only Seventy-Five Fsmllles Are Reported Destitute In all of the City BANGOR.

Insurance agencies Involved estimate that they will loss sixty per cent, or about a million and a half dollars. Will Ariwi Undiscouraged. That the "Queen City of the East" will lis undiscouraged from her ashe without the necessity of asking for outside help was the sentiment ex pressed tonight by Mayor Charles W. Mullen and representative cltlsens. Most of those who lost property are well to do and only 7S families were reported destitute. Search was made of the ruins today for possible victims but tonight only two were accounted for as dead. Only a few were Injured and none serious ly. State troops patroled the streets to night under orders to shoot in case of palpable looting. Despite the cold rain of the early morning there has been little suffer ing. . City In Darkness.

MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED. WASHINGTON. May 1. Approxi mately U 2.000.000 Is understood to be Involved In a test case argued be fore the court of claims today. It was as to the quqestlon of the Juris diction of tht claims court over a large number of cases against the government on account of abandoned and captured property, particularly cotton, In the south during the civil war. Many bills which have been In troduced In congress for reparation of claimants were referred to the court and the allowance of the claims on the merits hinges largely upon today's arguments which were made for the government by Attor ney Wm. H. Lamar of the depart ment of Justice and for the claim ants by Wm. B. King.

During the hours of the day the extra troops and those from the Paris garrison and the police had little trouble with the crowds of workmen who gathered to celebrate May day with great dem onstrations, but late In the evening things took on a lively aspect and there were many collisions In the street. About 7 p. m. hundreds of thousands of urreons', for the most part spectators, Tfathered In the Place de la Concorde and adjacent streets. Troops and police finally suc ceeded in dispersing them and the Champs Elysees took on their hab itual aspect. M. Leplne, prefect of Paris, announced that the disturb ance had no where assumed a se rious character and that this May 1 had passed more quietly than ever known before. About o'clock, however, several thousand manlfestants ra-assembled before the big St. Paul ..riding school, near the Bastlle, and listened to In ternationalist and antl-mllttarlst speeches by revolutionary leaders. Large forces of police and troops held the surrounding streets. A Ger man workman, wearing a tri-colored rosette in his button hole, declared amidst thunders of applause In the name of his comrades that In case of war German workers would refuse to raise their weapons against their French comrades. The cloee of the meeting was marked by serlou dis turbances.
