L0RIMER AND COY. DENEEN WILL BE
 BIG BOSSES
Prediction Made Today as Resnlt of Congressman Breaking the Senatorial Deadlock in Illinois With Aid of Dem. ocratic Votes.

Chicago, May 27.-A new deal in H. linois politics with Senator-elect LOT inner and Governor Deneen as the Big Bosses is predicted to-day as the re- suit of the breaking of the Senatorial deadlock yesterday and the dropping of the toga about Lorimer's shoulders. Simultaneously the present Federal of ficers in the state are shifting uneas- fly in their seats fearing they will be busted. The immediate effect of the new deal, politicians say, will be an effort to wrest control of the Republi- can machine in Chicago from Mayor Fred Busse. Busse and Lorimer have never been political friends.
 In the Federal building the only Federal office holder who is expected to survive the new deal is United States District Attorney Sims.
 There is also a reports to-day that following the open support of Lorimer by Democratic members of the Assem- bly, twenty-three of them voted for him for Senator yesterday, Roger O. Sullivan, Democratic 'fBoss" of Illinois may immediately announce the candi- dacy of Carter H. Harrison for Mayor.

LEAST GUILTY OF
 MURDERING TRIO TO
 PAY CRIMES PENALTY

glancing towards his fellow country men, who crowded the spectators pen, and most of whom had been witnesses for the State, he cried out: ''Youre all against me-"
 After the damaging evidence produc- ed by the witnesses for the State yes terday afternoon against the prisoner, counsel for the latter decided this States Attorney Stiles Judson in sum- ming up the evidence remarked that it was known that at the time the crime was committed Bove, who was by Marianne, one of the other accom- plices, who was the master mind in the plot. However, from a. legal point of view he was guilty of murder in not been brought out in the trial, Bove stated to the officer who arrested him in West Virginia that he was in the woods with Martzano at the time the crime was committed and had helped in his burial. Tn evictim was his brother-in-law.
 The state asserted that Bove aided his sister Mrs. Bergamo and Martzano who was the star boarder in their il- licit relations. There was no doubt in the mind of the state that Martzano had fired the shot that had killed the unfortunate man. The state knew Bergamo the victim, bore a bad repu- tation having served several terms in prisons in the old country, one for homicide.
 Attorney Marr, counsel for the de- fense pleaded for his client, stating that he was only a. boy at the time of the crime and that he had no motive for committing murder, what he had to do with it being in the interests of his sister, who no doubt with Martza- no filled his youthful mind of the dan- gerous possibilities of having Berga- mo around.
 Judge Robinson before imposing sen tence said that the crime of which the young man was guilty was more of a passive nature than real, as he had assisted in the burial of the mur- dered man after the crime had been committed. In view of the youth Of the accused and his non-participation in the killing a light imprisonment should be imposed even if he could be convicted of murder in the second de- gree. But in view of the fact that the prisoner pleaded guilty to criminal complicity the court felt it its duty to accept the plea of manslaughter and imposed the penalty of not less than ten years or more than Is years inn prisonment in states prison.

ALICE RUNS AGROUND
 IN THE FOG
Big North German Lloyd Liner Hard and Fast on Bottom Off Fort Wads. worth-Pilot Believed to Have Lost Bearings.
(sneciaI from United Press.)

New York, May 27.-The big North German Lloyd steamer Princess Alice: outward bound for Bremen, vio Ply mouth and Cherbourg, is aground off Fort Wadsworth. The steamer lies in an easy position but is hard and fast on the bottom although she may be foated at high tide. The bottom at this point is very rocky and there were fears that the big liner may have sus- tained some damage but her captain has notified the officials of the line that she is taking no water and IS seemingly uninjured.
 The cause of the steamer running aground was primarily the fog and heavy weather that has hung over the harbor since early last night. So thick is it that several of the big liners did not try to get out but remained at their docks It is believed that Pilot Alderman lost his bearings in making the turn near the point where the steamer is stranded.
 The New York offices Of the liner were telegraphed to and they hurried tugs to the scene. The latter will try to float the big vessel at high tide. There is no apparent excitement among the passengers on board.

BUFFALO BILL BUYS
 BAILEY INTEREST
TRANSACTION SIGNALIZES THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FAMOUS NAME OF BAILEY FROM SHOW RlISINESS.

Buffalo Bill'' Cody has come into his own again. In Philadelphia yes- terday he and 'Pawnee Bin,'' other wise known as Major Gordon w. Lil- lie, purchased the interest in the estate of James A. Bailey in what is now known as Buffalo Bills Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far EaSt.' The price was not made public, but the transaction marked, in a sense, a pros porous advance in the fortunes of Buff falo Bill, while at the same time sig nalizing the withdrawal of the once fla muos name of Bailey from the show business.
 Once upon a time Colonel Cody sold a share in his Wild West show to the Bailey estate, which retained that in terest until yesterday. In the mean time he and Major Lillie got together and decided that it would be mutually profitable if they became allies instead of rivals. although there were marked differences in the nature of their pro- auctions. But it was always Colonel Cody's ambition to reacquire the Bail ey interest. This was not so easy to do while James A. Bailey, one of the sbrewdest and most experienced of circus men, was alive, but since his death his widow, who was his sole leg atee, displayed a willingness to take the name out of the arena.
