DEADLOCK IS BROKEN
IN ILLINOIS
REPUBLICAN DECLARED ELECT.
ED, BUT STEVENSON WILL
CONTEST RESULT.

Springfield, Jan. 13.--The deadlock in
the Illinois legislature over the canvass
Of the vote Of the state officials was
broken today when the senators
crossed the corridor Of the state house
and took their places in the hall of
the house OF representatives to witness
the canvassing of the returns. The
senate took the action on the under
standing among themselves that their
presence in the house was simply as
witnessing the canvass OF the returns
and was not a joint session, which
could proceed with a recount. AT the
conclusion of the recount, in accord
ance with published returns, the re-
publican candidates were declared the
state officers elect as follows:
Governor, Charles S. Deneen; lieu
tenant governor, John G. Oglesby; sec
rotary of state, James A. Rose. The
breaking of the deadlock on the can
clear the situation, as there are many
points of difference between the con-
tending forces.
The line of cleavage between the
Shuorliffe republicans and the admin
istration republicans who attended the
republican caucuses are as sharply
drawn as ever.
Following the announcement of the
canvass of the returns declaring Gov
ernor Deneen and the other state Of
flcials elected, Representative Lee
O'Neill Brown of Ottawa, democratic
leader, was given recognition for the
purpose of serving notice of contest
Of the office of governor against Gov
ernor Deneen in behalf of Adlai
Stevenson.

NO INVESTIGATION
IS LIKELY
SENATE WILL PROBABLY DROP
TiLLMAN-oREeoN LAND
DEAL AFFAIR.

Washington, Jan, l3.-Senators who
have given consideration to the de-
mand made by Senator Tillman for an
investigation by the senate of the
charges made by President Roosevelt
in connection with the senator's at
tempt to procure oregon lands, incline
to the opinion that there Is no ques-
ton before the senate for an inquiry
except as to whether Mr.. Tillman was
frank with his colleagues in discuss
ing the case. The opinion Is held gen.
orally that even if the charges made
by the president were true the act of
Mr.. Tillman was not violation of
the law. No member of the commit
tee on privileges and elections Is in
clined to present a resolution calling
for one, and if one Is introduced 1t
Is likely that Senator Tillman will be
the author. His friends, however, are
determined to advise him against
insistence on this request for an in
quiry.
Just before going into the senate
chamber today Senator Tillman called
Attorney General Bonaparte on the
telephone and asked him whether he
had brought suit against the Southern
Oregon company. which holds land
grants for railroads from Roseburg to
Coos Bay. This is the land COM
prising over 100000 acres, of which
Senator Tilhnan at one time contem-
plated purchasing, at $3.50 an acre,

Of his family and others.

to answer off-hand whether or not
suit had been brought against the
Southern Oregon company, and Mr.
Tillman asked him if he could not at
once call up some clerk and ascertain
what had been done in that case
After some delay with Mr.. Tillman
holding the telephone and awaiting an
answer, the attorney general replied
that he would send Mr.. Tillman a
note on the subject. Mr.. Tillman in
sisted that he would like to have an
answer at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.

ROBBERS DYNAMITE
A CALIFORNIA BANK

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan 13.-The Bur-
bank State bank, located at Burbank
a short distance north of Los An
geles, on the Southern Pacific, was
dynamted early today by TWO or more
robbers, who secured $500 in silver and
perhaps other valuables. The men
drove up to the bank in a wagon and
entered the bank through a side VIM
dow. They set Il charge of dynamite
and blew open the outer safe and
took the silver. The inner safe door
was so badly der,uged that it was
impossible to open it and it Is not
known whether anything in addition
to the silver was taken. The robbers
escaped. Sheriff Harlmel is OH the

BEAT AGED VICTIMS
AND ROB THEM
DESPERATE THIEVES MALTREAT
OLD PEOPLE, THEN RAN
SACK THEIR HOME.

Plttsburg, Jan. 13.-Binoing, gagging
and assaulting Solomon Loughner, so
years old, and his two sisters, both of
whom are between 70 and 80 years
old, six masked robbers last night
ransacked the house, secured about
$1,000 in cash and their supper and dis
appeared.
The Loughners live in an isolated
carm house midway between jeanette
and Harrison City. The aged brother
and sisters are In 81 serious condition
from the Ill treatment received.
A troop Of Pennsylvania state con-
stabulary arrived Ut the farm house
today from Greensburg, Pa, and a
rigid search for the robbers Is in
progress.
Mr.. Loughner and his sisters were
seated at the table eating their sup
per last night when the men suddenly
broke into the house. Owing to their
advanced age, the three CT them were
powerless to protest themselves. They
screamed and were beaten and bound
ard gaggG. The men said they knew
large sum of money was in the
house and they wanted it. The victims
refused to divulge the hiding place,
however. and the nell instituted a
search. Unsuccessful in finding the
money they drew revolvers and point
ed the weapons at Loughner and his
sisters, threatening death Then one
of the highwaymen said.
TN tell you, let's burn the house
