Chicago.--In his speech before the Western Economic society President Taft arraigned the "interests" that are opposing the Canadian reciprocity agreement with Canada, saying that the lumber and print paper dealers were struggling to kill the treaty in order to maintain high prices. In one of the most comprehensive addresses that he has ever made on the subjecl, rhe president outlined some of the methods employed by the opponents of reciprocity, practically told the farmers that they were being "bunkoed" by special interests and said that the fate of the agreement rested not so much with the United States senate as with the people of the country. If the farmer and the country at large, he said, could be brought to un­ derstand that this treaty was in the interests of the majority of the people he would no longer fear the coming vote in the senate. The president was not sparing in his words. He told the reasons for the opposition to the treaty by the lumber trust and by the paper manufacturers, and, without using names, scored a New York firm, some of whose mem­ bers recently appeared at the hear­ ings before the senate finance commit­ tee in Washington, ostensibly in be­ half of the National Orange, objecting to the enacting of the agreement. He alluded to the monopolistic con­ ditions prevailing in the lumber indus­ try'. as revealed by the reports of tfie commissioner of corporations. "The control of the country's lum­ ber supply is in comparatively few hands," he said. "And they are so friendly that the chancfe of a monopoly is neither remote nor Impossible. "I submit that as lumber is essential to all classes, farmer and merchants, as the price has gone far beyond what It ever was in the past, and as our Bup- ply is being rapidly exhausted, we ought, when we can, to enlarge the sources from which our people can se- dure It at reasonable prices." In spite of protests that are arrayed against it, the president expressed the belief that the agreement would be­ come a law. "The bill," said he, "will pass, if it passes at all, because of the force of public opinion in its favor." The president took great pains In his replies to the objections raised In behalf of the farmers, arguing that not only would the treaty not Injure the agriculturists of the United States, but that it would be a positive benefit to them in the long run.

One Man Killed, Several Persons Hurt When Vehicle Turns Over In Yosemite Valley. Yosemlte, Cal.--In a stage coach runaway on the steep grade between the big Tree grove at Wawona and the floor of Yosemite valley, R. S. Li- cering of Allentown, Pa., was instant­ ly killed, three women were seriously hurt and several other persons were slightly injured. At one of the most dangerous points on the grade the horses at­ tached to the front stage became frightened and unmanageable. The brakes failed to hold the vehicle and the horses started at a mad gallop down the winding road. The driver managed to bold the frightened animals In the road until, fearful that the runaway would re­ sult in the Btage with its entire load going over a steep bank, he turned the horses into the inner bank. The stage turned completely over and sev­ eral of the passengers were caugh' beneath it.

CONGRESS IS DEFIED TAFT REFUSES RECORD 01^ PAY­ MENT FOR PORTRAIT. Executive Is Inclined to Accept Faet Roosevelt Passed on Deal as Final. Washington.--A lively controversy over the executive's right to withhold confidential papers from a congres­ sional investigating committee was precipitated by a flat refusal of Sec­ retary of State Knox, on the instruc­ tion of President Taft, tp lay before the house committee on expenditures in the state department books show­ ing the record of the payment for the portrait of ex-Secretary of State Day. The committee is seeking to dis­ cover what became of $1,600 of the $2,450 voucher drawn for the payment of the portrait. Artist Rosenthal re­ ceived only $850 for his work and the $1,600 is unaccounted for. The president held that $2,450 was paid out of the emergency fund for unforeseen emergencies in the diplo­ matic and consular service and for ex­ tending diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations, which congress had provided need not be accounted for if the president fertifies that an item should be paid from this fund. Presi­ dent Roosevelt had made such certi­ fication. Furthermore, Secretary Knox ex­ plained to the committee that it was improper to produce the books be cause thereby other undisclosed Items of expenditure would be revealed. President Taft In his letter to Sec­ retary Knox said that. In view of the facts and that the emergency fund ex­ penditure for this period have under the express authority of congress been (ertified by Secretary Hay "for my predecessor, President Roosevelt, as being of such a oharacter as ought not to be made public. I feel that nothing but Fome extraordinary circumstances would justify me in directing you to take such records before the commit­ tee, because the discretion thus exer­ cised under the statute should, in my Judgment, in general be conclusive and binding upon this point." The president added that when Sec­ retary Knox concluded his investiga­ tion of the particular expenditure and submit the matter to him he (the president) would determine whether the money was lawfully "or dishonest­ ly and improperly misappropriated." 100,000 TO SING ANTHEM "America" Will Take the Place of Firecrackers in Denver's Fourth of July Program.

STING IN LETTER BY TAFT Commander-in-Chief Denies Statement of Officer That Jewish Men Are Not Socially Equal to Gentile. Washington.--Col. Joseph Garrard, U. S. A., commanding the cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va., was severely repdi- manded by the secretary of war, un­ der orders from President Taft, for reporting adversely an application of Frank Bloom, a private in the Third field artillery, now on duty on the Mexican border, for the right to take examinations for promotion to com­ missioned grade on the ground of Jew­ ish parentage. Several years ago Bloom was urged for appointment to West Point. Pres­ ident Roosevelt, not being in a posi­ tion at the time to make the appoint­ ment, suggested to Blosm that he en­ list and, "like a true American," fight his way up from the ranks. The young fnan took the advice, en­ tered the army, where he is said to have made a good record, and recently took his first examination for promo­ tion. It is said that Bloom failed In this examination, but in view of the prejudice brought about by Colonel Garrard's indorsement, the soldier will be ordered up for final examination again in September. On this point President Taft, in a letter to Simon Wolf of this city, said: "I shall take steps to see that the examination to which Private Bloom is subjected is one in which he will be given a fair chance and not be ex­ posed to any unjust prejudice." Colonel Garrard's indorsement on Bloom's papers to which President Taft so strongly objected, when brought to his attention, was as fol­ lows: "The applicant is a son of Jo­ seph A. Bloom, of Jewish persuasion, who is now. and has been for a num­ ber of years, a tailor at this post. His associates, as far as I know and that of his family, have been with en­ listed men and their families and have been respectable. The young man is undoubtedly honest and upright, am­ bitious and probably deserving, but for the reasons stated I would not desire him in my command as an offi­ cer and a social and personal asso­ ciate. "The presence of the applicant's family at a military post woe'd be subverse of discipline and their probable treatment a source of morti­ fication to them and frequent cause of trouble to commanding ofPcers. From an experience fit many years I have found, except In few cases, few com­ munities where Jews are received as desirable social associates." In directing the secretary of war to inquire into the matter, President Taft wrote in part: "It is difficult for me to read the indorsement of Colonel Garrard, set forth in this letter, with patience and without condemnatory words that had better not be written. The statements made by Colonel Garrard are not true with reference to the standing that Jews have In this country; and I re­ sent, as commander-in-chief of the army and the navy, that any officer of either should permit himself in an official document to give evidence of such unfounded and narrow race prejudice as that contained in this indorsement." LUMBER INQUIRY IS BEGUN 8pecial Federal Grand Jury Starts Work at Chicago After Warning by Judge ^Landis.

"Yes, sah. pahson, dat am so," ad­ mitted Deacon Jones. "Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in de sheperd of this flock having a lamb In hiB arms?" This was too much for Brudder Jones, so he proposed that the peo­ ple have a called meeting that after­ noon. After the point was discussed at the afternoon meeting the follow­ ing resolution was made: "Resolved, Dat for the future peace af this congregation, dat de next time Brudder Johnson feel* called on to take a lamb ob de flock in hla arms, that he pick out a ram-lamb."

BUSINESS WOMEN A Lunch Fit for a King. An active and successful young lady tells her food experience: "Some years ago I suffered from nervous prostration, induced by con­ tinuous brain strata and improper food, added to a great grief. "I was ordered to give up my work, as there was great danger of my mind failing me altogether. My stomach was in bad condition (nervous dyspep- lia, I think now) and when Grape- Nuts food was recommended to me, I bad no faith in it. However, I tried It, and soon tUere was a marked Im­ provement lr my condition. "I had Keen troubled with faint spells, and had used a stimulant to revive me. I found that by eating Grape-Nuts at such times I was re­ lieved and suffered no bad effects, which was a great gain. As to my other troubles--nervous prostration, dyspepsia, etc.--on the Grape-Nuts diet they soon disappeared. "I wish especially to call the atten­ tion of office girls to the great benefit I derived from tbe use of Grape-Nuta as a noon luncheon. I was thoroughly tired of cheap restaurants and ordin­ ary lunches, and so made the experi­ ment of taking a package of Grape- Nuts food with me, and then slipping out a( noon and getting a nickel's worth of sweet cream to add to it. "I found that this Blmple dish, fin­ ished off with an apple, peach, orange, or a bunch of grapes msde a lunch lit for a king, and one that agreed with me perfectly.
