Second-If the proof fails TO show that
the member knew of or participated III %
sanctioned such corrupt practices. then, IN
order to justify unseating him, the proof
must show that enough members OF Inc
legislature voting for him were brfbed OF
Quoting their votes from the total vote re-
ceiNe.l ny him. would reduce his vote below
tie legislative majority required Tor MS
election.
While there are some facts and communi-
cations in this case tending to show that
Senator Lorimer may have heard OF or
knew that corrupt practices were being re.
sorted TO, and while Senator Lorimer failed
to avail himself of the opportunity OF soing
on the stand as witness and denying any
such knowledge or sanction OF corrupt prac-
tees If any such were being practleeo,
stiu I am of the opinion that the testimony
fails TO establish the fact that Senator
Lorinler was himself guilty of bribery or
other corrupt practices or that he sane
toned or was cognizant of the TACT that
bribery or other corrupt practices were pc
ing used by others to influence votes lor
l,im.
The testimony taken by the committee
satisfies me that four members or ths
Legislature were paid money for voting Ior
or in consequence of having voted Ior
Senator Lorimer. One Senator ano thLee
REPRESENTATIVES admitted under oa.h ,eid es5
money, and the admissions and the facts
and circumstances surrounding the tran
sacticns satisfy me that they received il as
bribe for or in consequence OF TIER votes
for Senator Lorrner.
The four self-confessed bribe takers I'M
plicate three other members of the Leg1sia-
fure who voted for Senator Loriner as tne
persons who brsbed them. The testimohS
satisfies me that the three alleged brioe
givers were guilty Of that offence TO my
mind the man who bribes another is as
corrupt as the one who Is bribed, afd Dy
his corrupt act of bribery he demonstrates
the fact that he is none too honest 10 re-
ceive q bribe il offered him.
While the proof is not clear or conclusive
that these three alleged bribe givers were

consideration their corrupt conduct as
bribers of others, together with all the facts
and circumstances surrounding TINS case, L
cannot bring myself to agree with the ma
ioritv of the sub-c committee that their votes
are free from taint or corruption. THESE
three votes added 10 the four confesseoiy
brioed would make seven tainted votes.

Senator Lorimer vas less than majority

In view of the fact that appear TO STANG

A SENSATION EXPLODED
Contractors Activity Caused Ru-
NOR of Plot to Rob Assay Office.

Washington, Dec. 21.-An energetic
contractor, with a disregard for custom
which eoualled his activity, did little
stunt In the Treasury on Monday which
produced runaors OF dark plots TO rob the
Assay Office in New York
The specifications for the Assay Office
and those for the new building Of the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving mys-
teriously disappeared from the super
vising architects Office, and somebody
guessed that a band Of cracksmen we're
after the location of the new vaults.
II developed to-day that a contractor.
anxious to figure on bid in the quiet OF
his room, took the plans with him, with
no intention of stealing them. The mys-
terious story Of the theft Of the plans,
accordingly, then exploded of itself.

JUDGEMENT HEAVIEST
EVER HANDED DOWN
DECISION IN MEXICAN COURTS
AGAINST DEVELOPMENT COM
PANY ESTABLISHES RECORD.

The heaviest Judgment ever found
by a Mexico court was handed down in
the decision Of the Second Civil court
OF the federal district in the case Of
Mexican Mine Development company
against George d. Barron a New York
promoter, who has for several years
been operating in Mexico mines and
has later been endeavoring to finance
a railroad on the Mexican gulf coast.
The amount Of the judgment is 23.059-
e4S.50 pesos which is equivalent to
s11,529. 524.25 gold. The decision Is
final and Barron IS allowed only eight
days In which 20 settle This is the last
act in litigation that has extended over
a period Of ten years.
According 10 the findings of the
court Barron as president of the devil
opment company. recommended the
purchase by the company OF mineral
properties known as La Aurora, Venus
and Saturno. near Teziutlan in the
state of Puebla. HIS advice was follow
ed but when the deal had been closed
Il was discovered that the titles were
all in Barron's name. He explained this
by stating that the original owners
had declined TO do business with the
company. preferring to close the trans
action with him individually. Before
the mines we're placed upon a paying
basis Barron called a meeting and the
corporation was dissolved. Since then
the property has paid handsomely and
the judgment is in satisfaction of the
old company's claims for ore marketed
and its share OF the value Of the re-
Guction works installed. with interest
at 6 per cent from December 81 1903.
The plaintiffs attorneys fee is 10 per
cent amounting to s1.152 e5242 gold.
Barron has been operating these
mines under the name Of Tezlutlan
Con- Copper Co. and is also one Of the
moving spirits in formulating a project
TO build a railroad from TeziutIan 10
the gulf OF Mexico port OF NautIa.
Whether he will be able to pay this
judgment, what disposition may be
made Of the Teziutlan mines and the
fate OF the railway undertaking can
not now be determined.

LARGE MINING DEAL
IS FINALLY CLOSED
LITTLE MIAMI COPPER co. AC-
oUIREs POSSESSION OF SEVEN.
TEEN NEW CLAIMS.

GLOBE, July I5.-The mining deal
by which the Little Miami Copper
Mines company acquires possession
Of the seventeen claims belonging 20
the Cole Development company was
formally closed July II and the first
cash payment stipulated in the option
was made to President p J. Cole of
the Cole Development company. Other
cash payments will be made in close
succession until the entire property Is
payed for. The payments on the claims
it will be remembered, are distributed
over a period Of approximately one year.
As announced in the Silver Belt some
six weeks ago. the Little Miami comp
any closed a deal whereby it took over
the Cole property for a total consider
alton in Little Miami stock and cash.
amounting TO over $500 900.
The payment made on the property
June II shows. beyond possibility OF
q doubt. that the Little Miami Copper
Mines company is ceterminded to lose
no time in fulfilling all its agreements
relative to the deal, Notwithstanding
the dull conditions prevailing in finan-
cial circles all over the country.
From the time OF its incorporation. the
Little Miami company has apparently
met with a high degree Of success Is
making the new flotation and is hold
ing the confidence of the public. The
basis OF this confidence is undoubtedly
the capable business and field manage
ment, the well-known integrity of the
officers and the valuable property OF
the company. 1t is familiar fact that
after the stock was listed on the New
York curb it sold for S2-25 a share
ard is now quoted at about $3.50.
Within g day or two Gen. Mana
