TWO BATTLESHIP MEN
LEAP TO SAVE WOMAN
Ensign Rescues DamSeI-Sailor
Swept Away by Tide

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-While trying
to aid Ensign Chas. Talley Blackburne
of the battleship Kansas to save a
young woman from drowning in the
Hudson river today, sailor believed to
be Eugene Audit, of the Kansas, was
drowned.
Blackburne and Audit jumped to the
rescue when she missed her footing, as
she was stepping from a launch to a
float and with a scream pitched head
long into the water.
Blackburne reached the struggling
woman and managed to swim with her
to the float, where they were hauled
ashore. Audit was caught in the swift
current, and. it is supposed, was un-
able to breast it and was carried out
into the river and drowned.
The young woman was taken by 9TH
er members of her party to a waiting
automobile and hurried away. Her
identity was not revealed.

Broderick Excused from Testify
ing on Plea of Preiudlcing
His Trial for Bribery
HoLSTLAW VOTE COST $500
Labor Lobbyist Says He Never
Knew Of Graft in Seven
Years at Springfield
Associated Pressl


CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-,State Senator
Broderick, accused by Senator ID. w.
Holstlaw. of Iuka, of paying him $26OO
which he, Holstlaw, supposed was Tor
his vote for Lorimer. was called as a
witness today before Lorimer investi-
eating commission.
He did not testify because his coun-
sci, Thomas Dawson, asked that ex-
animation be confined to the main
question of his clients having promised
or paid a bribe to Holstlaw, or any 9TH
er persons, and that he be not ques-
toned specifically concerning the time
and place of the alleged payment OF
the money to Holstlaw.
The committee announced 1t could
not entertain the propriety of eXamin-
ing the witness with cross-examination
suspended.
Attorney Dawson declared that to al
low Broderick, who is under indictment
in Sangamon county for bribing Hoist
law to be cross-examined on the at
tendant circumstances in the alleged
payment of the bribe money to Hoist
law, would be prejudicial to Rroderick's
case.
A number of impeaching witnesses
were called by the defense to disprovC
statements made by Representative
White, the first witness to testify
against Lorimer.
1t is expected that Democratic Lead
er Lee ONeil Browne, will appear to-
morrow, and the ruling to be an
nounced on the Broderick request prob
ably will be extended to his case should
he make a similar petition to limit the
scope of his examination.
William L. Rossell vice president OF
the International Association of Ma
chinists, and for years labor lobbyist
at Springfield, testified he had heard
nothing more substantial than rumors
that there was bribery in the legisla-
ture at the time Senator Lorlmer was
elected, and that he had never known
of any graft at Springfield In the seven
years he had attended the sessions Of
the legislature.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The fact that

mark these for early action by con-

The fact that the ship subsidy was
not mentioned by the president makes
1T questionable whether the executive
will bring pressure to promote its

almost certain to pass the senate, but
