YATES STIRS 'EM|
cuIIom Men Abandon "Dignified"
Campaign and Will Take
the Stump.
MANY THINGS TO ANSWER
Even l.. Y. Sherman, Who Had Taken
to the Woods" is Drawn Into
Controversy.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-The unkind things
which Richard Yates has been saying
in Illinois about the Washington syn
dicate" have brought a rise" from
the federal organization. AT big con-
ference in the greenrOom of the Audi
torium Annex yesterday, Senator Cul-
lom's supporters decided to change
their plans.
They had hoped TO make a dignified
campaign for the senator, without any
speech making. They still hope to
keep it dignified, but they decided it
must be energetic as well-and there
will be speeches.
Lieut.. Gov. Lawrence Y Sherman,
former Attorney General Rowland j.
Hamlin, and w. ]. Calhoun of Chicago,
President Roosevelt's special commits
sioner to Venezuela, are announced as
the chief orators who will take the
stump for the Illinois senior senator.
Sherman Out of Woods.
Mr.. Sherman and Mr. Hamlin origin
ally were with the state organization,
being two component parts of the com
bination of four who nominated De-
neen. Mr. Sherman, when the sena-
torial contest was still in its swad-
ding clothes, announced that it was
him to the woods. affirming that Il
race between Yates and Cullom was
contest between "a dub and an an
tique," and there was no station along
the line at which self-respecting re-
publican could alight.
At the state fair, however, Senators
Cullom and Hopkins informed Mr.
Sherman that there was place on
the interstate commerce commission
which would be vacant, and that they
would be delighted if he would accept
it. Mr. Sherman's faithful companion
in politics and legislative matters,
State Senator Orville Berry, afterwards
was made receiver of the Dougherty
bank in Peoria and Mr. Hamlin was
made attorney for Mr. Berry.
Another Friend Favored.
w Z. Trautmann, another faithful
friend and companion in arms of Mr..
was made United States dis
trict attorney in the new federal judi
cial district. and il view of these
amenities Mr.. Sherman will take the
stump against the dub" and for the
antique"
Mr. Hamlins name is used in this
connection with less confidence. The
former attorney general is said to have
received a retainer of S100 in connec-
ton with the Berry receivership. Con-
sequently the shackles of his fealty do
not hang extremely heavy, but his in
terest in the Cullom end of the con-
test is that of the heir apparent or
heir presumptive, at least

Divorce Congress Admits Impos-
sibiIity of Federal ReguIa-
ton of Evil.
ADOPT STRONG RESOLUTIONS
Strike Blow at Practice of Migration
to Secure Dissolution of Mar
riage Pact.

Washington, Feb. 21.-An animated
discussion was indulged in yesterday
by congress on uniform divorce laws
on resolutions proposed by the Penn
sylvania delegation outlining impor-
tant reforms for uraform laws on this
subject by the various states, and
which had been endorsed practically
in their entirety by the resolutions
committee. Arguments were exhaust
i've and parliamentary tactics involved
by majority of the congress to de-
feat the adoption of the following por-
tion of the report of the committee on
resolutions, striking a death blow at
migratory divorce:
Cannot Change Status.
when courts are given cognizance
of suits where the plaintiff was domi-
ciled in foreign jurisdiction at the time
the cause of the complaint arose, it
should be insisted that relief will not
be given unless the cause of divorce
was included among those recognized
in such foreign domicile."
The section was finally adopted by
an Overwhelming vote after a COM
promise amendment offered by o. w
Hart, of Louisiana, had been defeated
by a vote of Is to 16. The forces op-
posing the adoption of the section were
led by Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane, of
Michigan, whose efforts were seconded
by Delegates Walcott of Michigan,
Leech of West Virginia, and Sterling
of South Dakota.
First Step Taken.
Regarding the adoption of the first
resolution submitted by the commit
tee, that it was the sense of the con-
gress that federal divorce law was not
feasible, Gov. Pennypacker said:
The resolution has been adopted
and the first step in the path of prog
ress has been taken"
The section declaring that each
state should adopt legislation re
stricting remedies afforded by its stat
utes of divorce to its own citizens was
adopted with some notifications.

Supreme Court Decides They Must
Convict Themselves

Supreme Court Decides They Must
= Convict Themselves.
Corporations can not receive immu-
nifty from determination as individuals
and corporation officials must testify
when called before grand juries. Off
GERS Of corporations may be granted
immunity as individuals, but must pro-
duce evidence to convict the corpora
tons in which they are interested. All
corporations are creations of a sover-
elgn power and are not privileged to
commit any illegal act or possess any
thing unlawful. When a corporation
does either it is placed beyond the pale
Of constitutional protection.
This is the principle laid down by
decisions Of the United States Supreme
Court in four cases affecting the paper
and tobacco trusts. The result will be
that all corporations must produce
their books and papers when actions
are brought against them by the gov
eminent and witnesses may be COM
PEELED to answer all questions. Indi-
vidauls may have immunity from self
determinations, but corporations are not
individuals.
1t is possible under the Supreme
Courts decisions for the Department Of
Justice absolutely to prevent the COM
mission of illegal and unlawful acts by
any corporation. No corporation against
which proceedings are instituted here
after a avoid 'convicting itself if any
Of it's acts have beer illegal. A cor
poration will henceforth have no pro-
lection in the courts from s~elf-convic-
ton unless its books and papers are de-
strOyed by some officer, who will as
sumo responsibility for contempt. .
Two opinions were rendered regard
ing the tobacco trust and two affecting
the paper trust. Justice Brown handed
down the decision on the tobacco trust
and Justice McKenna on the paper
trust. Justice McKenna read his deci-
sions first and referred forward to
Justice Browns opinions, which follow
ed. thus interlocking the -four cases In
volving identical principles.
