Willls of Ohio after fifteen Washing- ton correspondents, seven senators and seven members of the house had been “spelled down.” It was afl evening of merriment, in which President ~ Wilson, Secrefary Bryan and a host of other official folk joined. David F. Houston, secretary of ag- riculture and long a schoolmaster, was “the pronouncer.” He encouraged the spellers at first by a series of easy words, giving Senator Ashurst of Ari- zona_“cactus” and Senator Poindexter of Washington ‘“moose” but soon he dealt the most difficult words he had been able to find after a careful search of the dictionary. The ranks of cor- Tect spellers thinned quickly and finally only Senator Poindexter and Representative Willis remained. The senator misspelled “hydrocephalus,” and Mr. Willis, a former schoolmaster himself, was awarded the champion- ship. Some of the words missed were “acacia, canteloupe, exsiccate, fuchsia, cedrelaceous, caoutchouc, daguerreo- type, foliaceous, ecumenical, laryngeal, reconnaissance, desuetude, gneiss, caique, cacique, infeoff, quintessence, ogee, berylline and bdellium, WANTS TO BE BURIED BESIDE HIS WIFE.

Sible When Sheriff Sibley returned Thursday night he said that had made only here Lambert | very little reference to the crime on the trip to Wethersfield. He did say to the sheriff “T can neith- er d nor write but if the” officials will only tell what- wanted of me I will do anything they ask.” Lambert indicated his intention to be a model prisoner and Sheriff Sibley is of the |opinh)n that he will be. There was a bit of pathos in the only request that the prisoner made that in case he died his body be | brought back to this town and buried |beside that of his wife, upon whom he visited such a horrible death.

When the president got through talking to the senators he met ths newspapermen in the corridor and explained that his~ visit had beei chiefly about diplomatic appointments and that no official list would be made public until word was received from the various foreign governments as to the acceptability of the individuals se lected. Senators James and Stone talked tariff -and inquired about the proposed amendment concerning the tobacco industry, but learned that the president had not given full consider- ation to it as yet. Declined to Ride in Elevatgr. The president left the capitol as in- conspicuously as he came. The at- tendants held an elevator for him, but the president thanked them and de- clined. “I guess I'm a good democrat and can walk down,” he said, with a laugh. Other Names on List. Other names on the president’s list about which he consulted Senators Kern and Shively of Indiana were for- mer Representative John E. Lamb and Meredith Nicholson, the author.

BREEN IS DENOUNCED Counsel for Defense Accuse Him in Their Argument of Being a Perjurer and Blackmailer—Lied to Police. Boston, June 5—The dynamite con- spiracy case, in which President Will- iam M. Wood of the American Woolen company Frederick E. Atteux and Dennis J. Collins, are on trial charged with ‘“planting” explosives at Law- rence to_discredit the textile strikers in 1912, will be given to the jury to- morrow. ~The defense completed the presentation of its case today and the court sat until well into the night to permit counsel to conclude their final arguments, Judge John C. Crosby will make his address to the jury to- morrow morning. The jurors will then retire to deliberate upon their verdict. Breen’s Testimony Attacked. In their arguments, the three at- torneys, Henry F. Hurlburt for Wood, Danlel H. Coakley for Atteux and Dis- trict Attorney Pelletier for the com- monwealth, made an lssue of John J. Breen, the Lawrence undertaker who was fined for planting the explosive. Breen charged that Atteux paid him $700 to “plant” the dynamite which was furnished by Ernest W, Pitman, a building _contractor who committed suicide after being summoned before the grand jury. Mr, Hurlburt and Mr. Coakley maintalned that Breen’s con- fessions of falsehood made him un- worthy of belief, while the district at- torney warmiy defended the credibili- ty of the prosecution’s chief witness, Charged Breen With Perjury. Mr, Hurlburt was the first of the trio to be heard, He argued that the evidence against Weoed amounted to “practically nothing.” He deelared that all the dealings between Wood and Atteux during the strike at Law- rence had been legitimate and that the payment te Atteux at Woed's direction appeared only on the company's records because there was nething that needed to be concealed. He charged Breen with deliberate perjury and said that of the jury believed that Breen bad lied that ended the ease so far fus any charges of comspiracy were concerned. Accuses Breen of Blackmail Mr. - Coakley mentioned various stories told, by Breen to the police re- garding his information concerning the hidden dynamite emphasizing the fact that all of the officers said that Breen had fooled them completely, and declared that only an ingenious pre- varicator could have successfully de- celved so many experienced criminal investigators for so long a time, He argued that Breen had admitted the falsity of many of his own statements. Mr. Coakley contended-that Breen's object was blackmail and sald that he aid not attempt to extort $18,000 from Atteux until after hefound he could not get it from Pitman. District Attorney Defends Breen, District Attorney Pelletier said that up to the time Breen was drawn into the dynamite plot he was as a respeot- ed citizen as there was in Lawrence. “We admit that he lied to the police, the prosecutor continued, “but he kept his mouth shut concerning other per- scns until he was summoned before the grand jury of this county.” Corroboration of Breen's Evidenc The district- attorney argued that corroboration of Breen's story was furnished by Collins who turned states evidence at the beginning of the trial; by Rice, the quarryman from whom Pitman ubla.lrged the dynamite; by At- teux himself, by Pira, a taxicab driver; and by the circumstantial evidence of a special delivery letter which Breen received from Boston and which Breen said contained $200, the second install- ment from Atteux in payment for plac- ing the dynamite.

This action was determined upon at the end of the afternoon session, after several senators had added to the tes- timony already given tending to show that well organized and vigorous work is being done by commercial interests upon the sugar, wool and other tariff issues. The committee decided to sub- poena practically all persons thus far mentioned Dby senators as amongst their “tariff callers” and to learn the exact nature of all organized work that is being directed toward influencin any member of congress upon any sub- Ject. Farmers’ Organizations Included. The efforts of the committes will be centered flrst upon the sugar fight: next upon wool, and after that a full investigation will be made that will take in the activities of prohibition and liquor “lobbies,” the Alaskan railway forces, labor unions, farmers’ protec- tive organizations and practically all other organized bodies that have car- ried on publicity campaigns, “endless Proportion to the.

This, he said, constituted = “new style lobby” of tremendous pow- er, Senator Reed Cheers Wilson. Senator Reed, a member of the com- mittee, sent word to President Wilson during the day that he believed the testimony of Senmator Ransdell and other witnesses fully established the truth of the presidents’ recent state- ment, upon which the resolution for the investigation was based, that a= powerful lobby existed in Washington, at least upon the sugar tariff issue.

Action Postponed, Becaude of Britisn Canal Protest. Washington, June 5.—Upon obje:- tion of Senator Chamberlain, who cox tended that a renewal of the arbitra- tion treaty with Great Britain migh: compel submission of the Panama canal tolls contrayersy to The Hagu the senate late today temporarily pos poned action on rencwals with Great Britain, Spain and Ttaly. Renewals of these treaties, all three of which have expired within the past few days, were favorably reported today by the for- eign relations committec and the sen- ate went into ¢xecutive session to con- sider them. The treaties with Italy and Spain were promptly ratified, but when that with Great Britain —was reached Senator Chamberlain objected. After some discussion it was agreed that if one was to be held up, even for a2 short time, the other treaties should not be ratified. and by unanimous con- ered and all went over. Great Britain’s protest against the provision in the Panama canal act granting free tolls to American vessels Was subinitfed several months- ago, long hefore the expiration of the arbi- tration treaty. Consequently the Brit- ish contention is that whether the con- vention is renewed can have no bear- ing upon a proposal to arbitrate this question; that if the question was on: for arbitration the United States is as much bound to submit it to arbitration as it would have been if the treaty hal not lapsed. i Tt was not believed tonight that any of the three treaties would be held up long, althgugh there may be some de- bate in executive session when they are taken up again. With the endorse- ment of the foreign relations commit- tee behind them, and the fact thac they existed for five years, thelr rati fication was generally regarded only & ‘matter of time.

' ‘Washington, J:une 5.—In accord with suggestions_of Attorney General Me- Reynolds, Senator Hitcheock of Ne- braska introduced today _anti-trust amendment to the Underwood tariff bill, which would levy a special addi- tional excise tax on a sliding or grad- nated scale upon manufactures of to- bacco, cigars, cigarettes and snuff. The amendment coming from a democratic member, will receive thorough con- sideration from the flnance commit- tee. The progressive excise tax proposed would not reach a manufacturer un- til he controlled about 25 per cent. of the total production of the articles. Over that amount he would be taxed in a rising scale on tobacco ome cent a pound for the first miiton pounds and so on up to six cents a po These graduated taxes would be additlon to the regular clght cents a pound tax that all manufacturers pay on tobacco. The same is true of the progressive tax on cigars, cigarettes and snuff. Companies of ordinary size would not be subject to this tax because ¥t does not apply to a production below 80,000,000 pounds of tobacco or 4,000~ | 000 pounds of snuff a year, so that of the 2700 tobscco compaples in the country probably only I would be affected and of the 73 snuff companies also only three would be taxed. In the matter of clgarettes the tax would fall on only two or at most three compantes .out of 478 and.of the 20,000 cigar companies only two have a pro= @uct large enough to be taxed. Seventy milion dollars was the amount of the total excise last year on_tobacco products and Senator Hitchcock has estimated that 1f the | proposed tax had_been levied on last year's business “the following trust concerns” would have paid the addi- tional tax as follows: American Tobacco_company, $7.500,< 000; Liggett and Myers, $3100,0005 Lorillard company, $144,000; Snuff. company, $77,000; George W. Helm company, $69,000; 'Weyman and Burton company, $51,000.
