QUARRY GROWER TELLS OF SELLING DYNAMITE. Man Who Built the Wood Mill Was i the Purchaser. Boston, Jrnest W. Pitman ipplied th ite that was “plant- ed” in Lawrence during the textile strike, according to evidence introduc- ed by the state today. The suicide of Pitman on the morn- ing that he was to have appeared as witness before the grand jury which investizating the alleged con- ey to discredit the strikers, creat- sensation at ‘the time. He was a building contractor living In_Andover, 2d widely known. He built the Wood mill at Lawrence, owned by the Amer- ican Woolen company, of which Wil- liam M, Wood is president. Rumors that he had knowledge of the dyna- mite plot were met with assertions by his intimates that the constractor had been dariven to take his life by busi- ness worries. When John J. Breen, who has con- fessed to actually “planting” the dy- namite( had concluded his testimony at_the trial of the alleged conspirators —William M. Wood, Frederick E. At- teux and Dennis J. Collins—today, the prosecution calted William H. a Guarry owner of Milton. Rice testified that Pitman came to him and asked for a quantity of dynamite for a con- struction job. The witness told of get- ting the dynamite from his quarry and of accompanying Pitman to Boston, where he saw the contractor deliver the explosive to Breen, as Breen had already testified. Rice said that he knew Pitman weli, but never saw him after the night of January 19, 1912, when they came to this city with the dynamite. Daniel H. Coakley, counsel for Atteux, today completed his cross- examination of Breen. The latter admitted that he had lied repeatedly concerning the dynamite plot, but 1insisted that he had told only the truth on the witness stand. He admitted that he had asked At- teux for money with which to settle damage suits which had been brought against him for false arrest by persons who had been taken Into custody after the “planted” explosive had been found on their premises. He claimed, However, that he was asking only for money which he thought Atteux should furnish because he was involved in the conspiracy. PLEAS OF NOT GUILTY BY BOXBOARD OFFICIALS.

Washington, May 22.—With republi- can senators urging a joint senate and house caucus for immediate reorgan- ization of the congressional campaign committee to seek the reclamation of republican power in consress next year; with progressive republicans Conférring on plans of reconciliation of the divided party and members of the national executive committee as- sembling for a meeting here Saturday, Washington today became a beehive of republican activity. Republicans and Progressives Confer. Most significant of recently party de- velopments since the defeat the the last November was the confer- of republican and progressive re- ators early in the day to reorganization of the congres- sional campaign committee which house leaders futilely have attempted for several weeks. Thirty-one senators conference, presided Gailinger, and with almost unanimous 1 a committee of five was ap- vinted to confer with house leaders with a view to holding a joint caucus as soon as possible to clear away the party difficulties, Favor Senate Representation. It was the prevailing opinion of the senators’ conference that the congres- sional committee &hould be reorgan- ized at once with representation from the sedate as well as the house, fol- lowing the suggestion from: President ‘Wilson adopted by the democrats, and that headquarters should be establish - cd, a publicity campaign inaugurated and a definite campaign policy out- lined as early as possible. Personnel of Committee. Leaders pointed to the personnel of this consulting committee as an indi- cation of the general effort being made to reunite the party, its members con- sisting of progressives and regulars as well. The committee members are Senators Gallinger, Townsend, Clark of Wyoming, Norris and Jones. These five will consult with the house re- publicans and expect to find no oppo- sition for a joint caucus, the house re- publicans having found trouble al- ready in trying to reorganize the con- gressional committes to choose a_suc- cessor t William B. McKinley as chair- man. Gardner’s Candidaey. Representative Gardner of Massa- chusetts recently announced his candi- dacy for the chairmanship on a liberal policy, and an attempt of his cham- pions to hold a caucus failed to bring out a quorum. Since then nothing has been done, and the senators hope to bring about definite action. WALKER FINALLY CLAIMED BY DEATH Young Macon Banker Made Valiant Fight for Life. Macon, Ga., May 33 —After brave- ly facing for a week the inevitable ri sult of his mistake in taking a tablet of bichloride of mercury. B. Sanders Walker, a young Macon banker, died early today. Members of the family had gathered at his bedside several days ago when the doctors annoumnced there was no hope for him. Through- out Walker faced the inevitable with a fortitude that has rendered the case of more than usual interest through out the country. During the last day under the influence of oplates most of the time, but in con- scious intervals gave evidence that he was not suffering. Scores of sympathetic messages were recefved by the family and many of them were in the nature of inquiries as to the treatment being given Mr, ‘Walker. It has been impossible to find out definitely what course the physi- clans took as thev have refused to talk, except to briefly trace the pro- gress of the poison. Members of the family attended the over by Senator are quoted as expressing much dissatisfaction with some of the reports that have originated_in Macon. They declared that Mr. Walker remained constantly in his bedroom, after it was discovered that he had taken the tablet of poison in mistake for a headache remedy. FRENCH JURY ACQUITS CONFESSED MURDERER Returned After Struggle with Con- science and Gave Himself Up. Carcassonne, France, May quel Vallespi, who recently here from the Argentine republic and gave himself up to the police, decla ing that he wished to go to the guil- Iotine for the murder of a woman fif- teen years ago, was glven his freedom today. Vallespi related his story in the as- size court before a jury and told of his struggles with _his conscience which finally led to his spiritual con- version and irresistibly impelled him to give up a prosperous position in Ar- gentina to expiate his crime in France, to satisfy the law. The jury without leaving the box acquitted him amid applause. The crime caused a great sensation in France at the time and Vallespi, Wwho was suspected of murdering the woman for her money, disappeared. He was adjudged guilty by default and condemned to be guillotined. MEAL FOR SIX, 42 C‘ENTS» Beef, Vegetables, Biscuit, and ‘Baked Apple Camprise the Menu, Washington, May 22.—After experi- ments lasting through many weeks, officials of the Colored Social Settle- ment have annaunced that they have lowered the cost of u wholesome meal for slx Dersons to forty-two cents, or Soven cents a person, The reduction in_ cost 1v brought about largel through an advanced knowledge « covklng, by which cheap meats aro made a3 toothsame and appetizing as meats of greater cost, Here 15 one division of the cost; One and one-half pounds of flank heef, at twelve cents & paund: spinach five ‘conts: patatees, five cenisi pars~ ley, one cent, and onipn, ane vent, The remainder of cest, or twelve cents, provides for beaten biscuits and baked apples, The Settlement insists that the sev- en-cent meal is net, thearetical, and that sueh meais are the rule in’ their headguanters. \Opposition 10 Duty on Tusks COTTON EXPORTERS IN FEAR OF ITS EFFECT WILL BREAK UP TRADE Will D They Claim—No Amendment Likely e African Business to Italy, to Income Tax Section of Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, May 22—No amend- ment, to the income tax section of the Underwood tariff bill is likely to be proposed by the senate finance com- mittee or democratic caucus, accord- ing to leaders whe have consideration of that part of the bill in hand. Senators Willilams, Shively and Gore have the income tax in hand. Though their committeé room is - piled high with protests and suggestions from many sources, the measure is believed 1o have been well handled in the house and the objections made to it in i original form are thought to have been ufficiently met in amendments before the bill passed the house. Insurance Companies Protest. Among the loudest protests coming now are those from mutual insuranc ccmpanies conducted for profit, but the house amended the original bill as relating to insurance companies and insurance policies and the senators on the finance committee, after a study of the bill, believe that it is sound. Complaints from railroad and other bolding companies that the law will tax them twice on dividends paid arere- ported to have been held unsound by members of the committee. Senator Penrose fajled today to get up his resolution providing for publica- tion of the list of tariff questions to manufacturers proposed by Senator La Follette, the senate going into execu- tive session before the tariff was reach- ed. Early in the day the finance com- mittee majority met and framed an amendment to the resolution proposing a longer list of questions in which some of Senator La Follette's queries were included. List of 25 Questions. The questions will relate to produe- tion, raw material and transportation costs here and abroad; propertion of tariff dutles which cover production cost differences here and abroad and the proportion which amounts to a manufacturers profit and other tarift problems. Senator Simmens said that there would be about 25 questions in all, but he will withhold the list uniil he is certain the republican leaders in- tend to bring the matter up again, Vice President Marshall called on the finanee committee chairman today and diseussed with him the tariff and its prospects in the senate, The vice president said he did net discuss rates or schedules and Chairman Sim- mons stated that the conference was merely informal and had to do with the handling of the bill when it reach- ed the senate floor. Will Drive Business to Italy. Discussion of the tariff on raw ivory propesed in the Underwood bill before the Johnson sub-committee disclosed an unusual situation. Rep- representatives of cotton exporters in protesting against the proposed twen- ty percent duty on tusks, declared it would break up thefr barter trade in cotton with Africa tusk dealers. For years they have been shipping thous- ands of dollars worth of cotton to the African traders and bringing back in payment therefor ivory tusks which they in turn sold to piano manufac- turers. It was claimed that with a duty on ivory Italian cotton traders would get this business. HIGHER SPRUCE PRICES PREDICTED. Millions of Feet of Logs Held Up by Low Water. Bangor, May 22._With the price of spruce lumber already far above the average of the last ten years, condi- tions affecting the new log supply now on the way to market are such as to warrant predictions _of still higher values. The upper St. John River drive of 31,000,080 feet is hung up at Seven Islands, the river having fallen 10 such a low pitch that the logs have stranded ail along the stream bed for miles, and the crew has been dis- charged and sent home. Only heavy raing within a week or two can save this drive, and it is feared that the logs must remain where they are until fall. Without these logs several of the largest mills on the St. John will be obliged to considerably curtail the season’s cut, and the St. John Lumber Company at Van Buren. Maine. wiil also be affected. ~News from other points Indicates that the drives are making - slow progress. The Penob- scot brook drives have been having & hard time, as the unusually small supply of water, and it is’evident that the West Branch and- the East Branch drives will be late in reaching hoom this year unless the long period of cold and dry weather is soon broken with higher temperature and heavy rains. On the Nashwaak river in New | Brunswick the Edwards Partington Company’s drive of 14,000,000 feet is hung up, and it is feared that these logs, Intended for the compan and’ paper mill at St. John Gibson saw mills at Marysville, not get to boom this spring. than 750,000 feet of logs have co: down info the Marysville booms th: will Neot more spring, and lumbermen predict that all | of the St. John logs will have great difficulty in getting through, even if they manage to get to boom at all On the Kennebec river in Maine conditions are better. A fair pitch of water Is reported, and the drivers pect to bring down the entire 000,000 feet clean. Recent improve- ments have made driving much easier on the Kennebec than formerly.
