Phns 100 Tollo of Midnight Con- foronoo of Taft and Aldrloh Bar Association Want Horo Judgoo AFTER WHICH TAFT SAID LO RIMER MUST BE ELECTED. Washington, D. C, June 29. Edward Hines, the Chicago lum berman accused of buying for lorimer his seat in the United States Senate, today told the Sen ate investigating committee of the circumstances leading to the election of Lorimer. dent Taft was insistent that Lorimer must be elected. He sard that while the President and Senator Aldnich were in confer nece he waited at Aldrich's home for him to come back with a re port of their conference, learning when Aldrich returned that Taft was lined up for Lorimer. He at once telephoned the re sult of the conference to Lorimer, who was at Springfield, and im mediately left for Chicago. The Mr. Hines told the committee how President Taft two or three 1 testimony of Mr. Hines is in cor nights before the day Lorwner roboration of that given by Mr. was elected held a midnight con- j Cook, while on the stand Tues day, and brings the President more clearly into the case. LAWYERS ADOPT REPORT Charlotte, N. C, June 29 1 he North Carolina Bar Association in session at Lake Toxaway to night adopted the report of its committee on law reform recom mending that th number of judges be increased to tvventv fniir, that the present system of rotation be abolished, that the solicitors be put on salary, and that the laws relating to jurors be amended. Bills designed to car ry out these reforms will be in troduced to the next legislature. A damper 'was thrown on the ses sion today by the announcement that neither third assistant Poit-master-General Britt nor Martin VV. Littleton of New York could attend to deliver their addresses which were the features of the year's program. At Atlantic City ference with Senator Aldrich, who afterwards said that Presi- Inauguratod for Govornor First HOKE SMITH WILL THEN ANNOUNCE HIS CAN DIDACY FOR U. S. SENATE. Atlanta, Ga., June 20 After I am inaugurated as governor 1 shall announce as a candidate for the United States Senate." This statement is said to have been made bv kivcrnor-elect Hoke Smith to members of the inaug uration committee today, and it is Jielicved it will in a great measure clear the senatorial sit uation which for several days has threatened to result in a deadlock in the legislature. Friends and supporters of those candidates who are opposed to Mr. Smith and so favor a sena torial primary for the selection of a successor to the late United States Senator Clay, held a meet ing tonight and adopted resolu tions calling upon the legislature to provide for a senatorial prim ary and favoring those candidates who have announced themselves as supporting this method of election. Letter f rem California -Notice- To My Friends in High Point: I have very little time for the writing of letters and cards on this trip, 30 you must take my letters to the Enterprise as per sonal letters to you. This is the greatest convention I have ever been privileged to attend. Those who were with me at the World's Sunday School Convention in Washington last year will question that statemcn. but while that convention was larger in the number of delegates, this one is far more powerful and more enthusiastic in its zeal tor the spread of the Kingdom ol Christ through the Sunday school. Wish you all might have seen the great demonstration of last evening. In the men's parade it is estimated that there were 10, 000 men in line, and that at least 40,000 men, women and children viewed the parade. Every man in line carried a Bible. Then I wish you might have been in the convention hall this morning and heard the magnifi cent addresses of Dr. Chapman and Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Law rence's speech consisted mainly in the raising of $12(1,000 dollars for the extension of Sunday school work in America. He raised that amount in a little while and an nounced that it must be raised to $175,000 before the convention closed. Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, the new ly elected president of the asso- wanuil, gave liyiXJO, JVir. l. I. Warren, of Three Oakes, Mich!, gave $10,000, and Mr. H. J. Heinz, of Pittsburg, gave $6,000, and there were a number who (rave $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000 pledges. It seemed only like a play spell for Mr. Lawrence to raise that amount of money. This country of ours is awake to the necessity of Sunday school work as it has never been before.' I feel home sick for High Point this evening. High Point, in the happy South land. A. G. Dixon.
