HIS SELECTION REAFFIRMED
New York State Committee Insists on
Sherman for Chairman.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 21.-By a
vote of % to Is, the Republican state
committee at special meeting reaf'
firmed it's selection of Vice President
Sherman over Theodore Roosevelt as
temporary chairman of the state con-
vention.
This action, a victory for the old
guard, was taken after Vice President
James S. Sherman had created a sen
sation with a letter asking that the
committee investigate the charge that
his selection as temporary chairman
was brought about through trickery
and stating that if the charges were
substantiated he would not serve.
After a heated argument lasting
nearly two hours, in which the lead
ers of both the old guard and the pro
gressives gave sharp expression OF
their convictions, the committee by a
vote of 20 to Is resolved, "That Mr..
Sherman be Informed that his selec'
ton was made without misrepresenta'
ton as an answer to his letter.

The wreck occurred at a fill, thou

The train was running practically
on time and was proceeding on q

came when he realized the forward
portion of the train was running in

not enough to prevent the engine, bag

Long wranale over Admission Of re.
timony Relating to the Les's- :
lative slack Pot"

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Testimony from
State Representative Charles A.
White, the first witness in the Lorimer
election inquiry, was heard by the SEN
ate committee investigating the
charges Of bribery and corruption in
the election of the junior senator from
nlionis. After hours Of argument by
the opposing counsel the committee
left undetermined the question of the
admissibility of testimony relative to
the alleged lack pot" fund for the
payment of legislators voting for or
against bills pending before the Hi.
nois general assembly.
Attorney Alfred S. Austrian, repre-
senting the Chicago Tribune, which is
pushing the charges against the elec-
ton of Senator Lorimer, contended
vigorously that the alleged participa-
ton of legislators who voted for Sena'
tor Lorimer in the spells of the So
called jack pot was pertinent and
necessary in the investigation of the
charges of the use of the corrupt
methods and practices in the election
of Senator Lorimer as showing a gen.
eral corruption of the legislature, of
which the election of the senator un'
der fire was an integral part.
Opposed by Lorimer's Attorney.
Attorney Elbridge Henecy, counsel
for Senator Lorimer, stoutly opposed
the admission of testimony relative to
brides which might have been paid to
or received by legislators for their
votes on legislative matters apart
from the election of United States
senator.
On the strict understanding that the
action was not to be considered a
precedent admitting the whole jack
pot subject, Chairman Burrows per-
mitted Witness White to answer
some of the Questions touching on the
funds which have been referred to as
the lack pot"
Representative White declared that
he was met in the St. Louis hotel by
Representative Robert E. Wilson, also
a Democratic representative, who paid
him 5000 as his share of the jack pot.
White detailed his meeting with other
Democratic legislators in Wilson's
room, and testified that the payment
was made to him in the bathroom by
Wilson, who before that had conferred
with another of the legislators in the
same bathroom. His testimony was
essentially the same as given by him
on the charge of bribery.

DEPoRTED GIRL RETURNS
Held at Boston in Connection with the
Vidal Case Here.
fBy Telegraph to The tribune. !


Boston Sept. H.-The romance which was
supposed to surround Marie Perez, a
French girl from Algeria, who arrived at
this port last Monday on the Winifredian
for the purpose, as she said. of marrying
Antonio Vidal. of New York. came TO
sordid ending to-day when the girl ad-
mtted that she had come across the ocean
to New York only last month and had
been turned back at that port and deported
because 1t was suspected that Vidal brought
her here for immoral purposes.
The Boston immigration authorities re-
ceived their first clew to the facts when
they started TO look up Vidal In New York
They found that he was still detained at
Ellis Island by the immigration officers on
the charge Of attempting ID bring the girl
into the country. When Miss Perez was
confronted with this circumstance to-day
she confessed that she was the girl who
had figured IN the New York case, and
that she had merely tried TO re-enter the
country at Boston when she failed In New
York. The girl will be depOrted. The evi-
dence obtained from her will be used to
cause Vidars deportation from New York.
