Special to the Post-Dispatch. LINCOLN,’ Neb., , Aug. 1.—Former Gov. .Folk of Missouri’ has answered the questions recently directed by Wil- ham J.°*Bryan as Democratic presi- dential candidates. The former Gov- ernor is in full aecord with Bryan. In his reply to the Nebraskan, Folk de- clares himself to be in favor of tariff jfor’ revenue only, free raw materials, | dapavate and cor-ordinate branches of gevernment, each keeping within its own sphere; direct election of. senatore, income tax, independence for Filipines, cempaign publicity in advance of elec- tion; every dollar and its source to be eccounted for; State rights, retention of the labor planks in. the Democratic platform of 1908, strict regulation of railroads and legislation compelling banks to insure depositors. Folk is opposed to consideration of the element of protection in revision of the tariff, the ‘“‘rule of reason,’’ fixed by the Supreme Court in its recent trust decisions; repeal of the criminal clause in the Sherman anti-trust law, the Al- asset currency in any form, and the central bank. Folk said: “A tariff should be for no other purpose than that of revenue. The chief object of a protective tariff is to stifle competition and to that extent create monopoly. A tariff for revenue only is for the benefit of the public, but fit of a few, at the expense of the pub- lic. A protective tariff is a graft given to a class, enabling that class to prey upon the rest of the people. ‘True democracy cannot offer one class an advantage over another in the shape of subsidies, bounties, protective tariffs, qr other special privileges. It can only promise each man that no one else shall be given ah advantage over ‘| him and that each shall have an equal opportunity to live and labor and en- joy the fruits of honest toil. “] do not favor the repeal of the criminal clause of the anti-trust law, tut I do favor its vigorous enforcement. A corporation is merely an association of individuals, exercising a charter pow- er conferred by some state. A corpora- tior can no more violate law by itseif than a chair or any other inanimate ob- ject can violate a law. Some men might tnke a chair and through its instrumen- tslity, by striking another man with it, cemmit a crime. “It would be just as logical in that case to punish the chair and allow the man to go free as it is when a number of individuals, through the instrumental- ity of a corporation, violate the law, to fine the corporation and permit the in- dividuals who caused it to violate the law to go unwhipped of justice.

GIVES UP STUDY FOROPERA TO WED HER TEACHER'S SON Miss Julie Brewer Persuaded by C. Carroll Karst to Adopt a Fireside Career.

While Mme. Vetta-Karst was train- ing Miss Julie Brewer for.an operatic career, the teacher's son, C. Carrol Karst, was persuading her that his fire- side joys would be more to her taste than the triumphs of the stage. The young man succeeded in frus- trating his mother’s plans for her fa- vorite pupil, and Miss Bréwer, having rejected several offers of operatic po- sitions, Tuesday evening will become her teacher’s daughter-in-law. The wedding of Karst and Miss Brewer will take place at 6 p. m. at the home of her parents, Mr. and. Mrs. Henry Brewer, in Shaw pilacé.° The bridal: pair will immediately go to house- keeping in the Netherlands Apartments. The future of Mrs. Karst, while aban- dohing her cherished operatic plans, -has not given up music, and. will keep up the concert work in which she has won distinction here. One of her noted suc- césses was won in her appearance, last spring, at one of the closing concerts of the Choral-Symphony season. , Karst, who has.lived with his mother at the Hotel Berlin, is in business. He was educated at France, and was a | pupil in the Academy of Paris, winning there in 1899 the medal offered by the minister of public instruction. He was one of the world’s fleetest runners, and was a contestant for France in the Olympic games at Athens in 1900. The marriage ceremony will be per- formed by the Rev. M: T. Haw of St. Paul’s Methodist Church. Both the bridegroom and bride are Christian Scientists. SEEKS MOTHER HE HAS NEVER SEEN Youth; 17, Says He Loves Woman of Whom He Has No Recollection. Carl Lenhart, 17 years old, wants to make the acquaintance of his mother. He does not recall having ever seen her. He loves her, though, and says he will not stop until he finds her. Lénhart lives on the farm of B. F. Tanner near Fayette, Mo. He did not know he had a mother until about two years ago, when he was informed of the fact by Tanner. Lenhart was placed in charge of the Children’s Home Society of Missouri at 4427 Margaretta avenue when he was a baby and at the age of 7 wags adopted by the Tanner family. They have treated him as one of their own. He appealed to:the pdlice Tuesday for aid in seeking his mother.

Adoption of Measure. Offered by Kern. Follows Defeat of That Sent From House, ONLY SLIGHT. .CHANGE Fresh Meats Stricken From Schedule Except When Im- ported Under Reciprocal Agreement. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—Combined in the same alliance that resulted iu the passage of qa compromise woolen tariff revision bill in the Senate last week, the Democrats and. Republican insurgents of that body today passed a compromise farmers’ free.list bill. Tho original House bill first was defeated and then re-offered in modified form by Senator Kern of Indiana. As amended and. finally adopted, the bisji differed but little from the original. The Kern amendment, liké the Bailey amendment that had been previously defeated, “took meat products out of the free list bill; but it granted the rrivileges of free entry of meats to countries that in turn admit free of duty American cotton, corn, wheat, cats, horses, cattle and hogs. The Senate earlier had defeated Sen- ator Bailey’s amendment taking al! meats out of the free list bill. The Kern amendment represented the at- tempt to reconcile the Demoeratic in-' terests with the insurgent Repu Dlicans, vho believed some further concessions should be obtained for agricultural prod. ucts. Vote a Tie. The adoption of the compromise measure came after a narrow failure of Democratic efforts to pass the bill in its original form. But for the fact that Senator Bailey of Texas refused to support the bill tn the shape it had passed the House, the measure would have been passed unchanged by the Senate.. As it was, it was beaten by a tie vote, 39 to 39, Senator Bailey being the only Democrat to vote against it. The Democrats and insurgents were ready for the defeat of the measure. While several of them had voted for it, it was apparently understood that if it was cefeated it would be resurrected and amended by a compromise agree- ment and again brought to a vote. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Re- rublican insurgent, who had voted against the passage of the bill, made the inotion. to reconsider the vote. It carried without a rollcall. With the: bili restored to life, Senator Kern of Indiana came forward with the compro- mise agreement: The vote on the Kern compromise amendment was as follows: How the Vote Was Cast. For the Amendment: Republicans— Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Brawn, Clapp, Nelson, Crawford, Gamble, Cummins, Kenyon, Dixon, Gronna, McCumber, Jores, La Folletté, Townsend, Works. Democrats—Bacon, Bailgy, Bankhead, Johnson (Alabama), Bryan, Fletcher, Chamberlain, Chilton, Watson, Clarke (Arkansas), Davis, Foster, Thornton, Ritchcock, Johnson (Me.), Shively, Kern, Maertin, Swanson, Martine, Myers, New- lands, O’Gorman, Overman, Owen, Payn- ter, Pomerene, Reed, Stone, Simmons, Smith (Maryland), Taylor. Against the amendment: Republicans— Bradley, Brandegee, McLean, Briggs, Burnham, Burton, Clark (Wyoming), Crane, Lodge,: Cullom, Lorimer, Curtia, Guggenheim,: Heyburn, Lippitt, more, Nixon, Oliver, Page, Perkins, Foindexter, Richardson, Root, Smith (Michigan), Smoot, Stephenson, Warren Democrats: Gore, Smith (South Caro- lira). Absent or paired with absentees—Cu!- berson, Dillingham, Dupont, Frye, Gal- linger, Lea, Penrose, Percy, Raynor, Sutherland, Tillman, Williams. Amendments Defeated, The Senate began its final struggle on the free list bill with the defeat of amendments offered by Senator Gronna of North Dakota to put cement, lime, Wet-' coal and coke on the free list and to ex-: empt boots and shoes from its provis- fons. Senator Gronna secured a roll call on the amendment for free coal and coke, but was beaten, 562 to 32. Party lines split on the free coal proposition: Those voting for the Gronna amendment were: Democrats—Bailey, Bryan, Fletcher, Gore, Owen, Hitchcock, Johnson, (Maine); Martine, O’Gorman, Pomerene, Watson. Republicans—Borah, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Nelson, Crawford, Gamble, Cum- mins, Kenyon, Dixon, Gronna, McCum- ber and La Follette. Senator Bailey's amendment to- ex- empt beef and beef products from the free list received the support of 13 Re- publicans, but was opposed by the Dem-/ ocrats except Balley. It was beaten on a roll call, 63 to 74, those voting for it being Bailey, Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, Cum- mins, Dfxon,\Gamble, Heyburn, Jones, Kenyon, La Follette, Townsend. The Free List bill was the second of the big tariff revision measures that followed Canadian reciprocity over from the Democratic House. Its life dates back to April 12, when Dernocratic Leader Underwood intro- duced it in the Hoyse. The Ways and Means Committee seven days later re- ported the bill favorably and the House on May & passed it by a vote of 236 to { “FORLORIMER VOTE Then ‘Confessed Bribe Taker Tells of His Comforts in Railroad Passes. Pennsylvania and B. & Q. Roads Not in List—Some Came Without Request. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Aug. L—stin insisting that he was paid handsomely as a mem- ber of the Illinois Legislature for vot- ing for William Lorimer for United Etates Senator, Charles A. White re- sumed the witness stand today before the Senate Lorimer Committee. It was +the same story White had told to the first Lorimer. Committee. Correspondence between Lee O'Neill Browne, the Democratic minority lead- er in the inois Legislature, who is accused of giving White the alleged Lor- imer bribe money, was introduced in ev- idence. * Produces Letters. White produced. letters alleged to have Leen written by Browne, Attorney Han- ecy, representing Senator Lorimer, fur- nishing the letters Browne is said to have received from White. . In one of the letters written just be- fore the Legislature met, Browne told White where he could get railroad and Pullman passes. White said that upon his arrival at Springfield to attend the Legislative session he signed an agree- ment to support Browne for minori.y leader; he refused to vote for Shurv- leff, the Republican candidate for Speaker, although his Democratic col- leagues switched from Browne to Shurt- leff. : Ig Labor Advocate. “Shurtleff had been unfriendly to labor and I told them I would not vote for him under any consideration,” said White. ; While committeemen listened with sur- prise, White rattled off the Mst of rail- road, Pullman and telegraph passes he held as a member of the Legislature. “Did “they all send passes?’’ inquired Senator Jones. “No. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore '& Ohio did not issue passes.”’ “Did the passes come by request or otherwise?’ asked. Chairman Dilling- ham. ; ' “By request and without, by mail and by messenger.”’ He explained that he was given an Illinois Central pass with the request that in turn he vote “for Senate bill 313,” which he said was “a personal injury bill.” He lent his passes, he said, to Representatives Forest, Cer- }mack, Browne and Wilson. He said he thought he had scratched out the destination on Pullman passes and substituted other destinations. Transportation Regulated, “‘Manny’ Abrahams regulated the the transportation for members,” tes- tifled White. ‘“He’*told us we could alter Pullman passes.” It was Abra- hams who was termed “the Bell Wether” roll calls. Wite added thet all his passes were intra-state, and that he still had a few of the Pullman passes. Discussing corruption funds, White said: ) “Once on the train, Representative Charles D. Luke (now dead) said that at the end of the preceding legisla- ture there was a ‘jack pot,’ and he was offered $200 of it. Luke said he tore the money up and thréew it at the feet of the man who offered it to him. Luke said he told ‘the man he wouli not sell his manhood for $200.” The witness said he believed Luke mentioned a man of the name of Tip- pett as connected with the §200 in- cident. At yesterday’s session White produced many testimonials of good character and ability from schools he had attend- ployers, when he took the stand yester- day. Explaining that he wished to show the source from which White obtained his food for thought, Attorney J. H. Mar- ble for the committee asked the witness what he was reading at the time he was clected to the Legislature. What He Read. White mentioned Lawson's high finance exposure magazine articles, which he characterized as a “pretty good piece of work;” “The Jungle,”’ by Upton Sinclair, exposing the stock- yards as a “splendid piece of work;” four volumes of Roman history, “about the Carthagenians, the Syrians and that class of stuff;” Ingersoll’s complete work, Bryan’s Commoner, Taylor's Life Pictures, Appeal to Reason, a Social- ist publication; various labor magazines, and the daily newspapers of St. Louis. The witness said that before he was elected to the Legislature he had heard of several men who had taken bribes and then exposed the bribers. He said he told his supporters during the 'cam- paign that after he was elected he would expose any corruption, at Spring- field, but he denied saying he would take the bribe in so doing.

TRUST COULD NOT COMPETE WITH ITS RWALINSOUTH Engineer Declares Purchase by Steel Combine Was Neces- sary to Control Market. , 7

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 —Republican members of the House Steel Trust In- vestigating Committee were in the ma- jority today when hearingg in, the’ af- fairs of the United States Steel Corpora- tion were resumed. Representative Stan- ley, chairman of the committee, was the only Democrat in agtendance, other Democratic members having been de- tained in Washington because of the caucus on the wool bill and other legis- lation. The first witness was Charles Page Perrin, one of the consulting engineers who made a report on the ores of the Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia mines of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Co., the Republic Iron and Steel Co. and later the Tennessee Coal and Iron Vo. synid- cate. The report_on the ore holdings of the region known as the Birming- ham district was made in 1904. Surnmed up, the estimate reached was that the district contained from 400,000,- OuC im 600,000,000 tons of iron ore. and from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 tons of coal. Chairman Stanley asked Perrin his opinion of the value of the ore in the Birmingham district as compared with ctner’ cre deposits anywhere in the world. “Tt ja one of the greatest and most. ya:uaBle ore properties that I know of in the world. One of its chief advan- tages is proximity of the ore to the coal,”’ replied Perrin. Perrin also declared that cost of pro- ducing pig jron in the Birmingham field was at least $3 a ton less than in any other district in the world. Chairman Stanley procured an expres- sian ef opinion from the witness that if the Tnited States Steel Corporation had not absorbed the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. it could not compete with producte of the Birmingham field in the territory south of the Ohio River. EXTRA SESSION MAY REVISE WHOLE TARIFP WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—Democratic Leader Underwood declared in the House today that if any of the Demo- cratic tariff revision bilis should go to the President and be signed by him the extra session of Congress would be continued until the entire revision pro- gram was carried through. ’ The House asked for a conference with the Senate on the wool tariff bill and Speaker Clark appointed as House conferees Representatives Underwood of Alabama, Randal] of Texas, Harrison of New York, Democrats, and Payne of
