CHOATE'S TRIBUTE
TO KING EDWARD

: New York, May 7.-(Special.)- "Witb
sorrow that 1 feel at the death of a
monarch who ruled his own dominions
we'll and who exerted a powerful in
fuence for good throughout Europe,
there comes to me a sense of personal
loss in the passing away of King Ed
ward" said the Hon. Joseph Ii. Choats,
former American ambassador to Eng
land.
"As man he was even more inter-
esting than as a monarch, and that is
saying a good deal, for no king was
ever more beloved by his own subjects
or more admired by the people of 9TH
er nations. AS man he was intense
ly human and when he put off his
royalty, as he delighted to do when
opportunity offered. and met people in
an atmosphere more free than that of
the court. he was one of the most
charming of men, though never lack
ing in that dignity which would per-
nit none to forget, though for the
Ills interesting personality appeals
to me more at this moment than his
successful though somewhat brief
reign. 1t would be impossible at this
time to make any adequate comment
upon 1t, other than to say that the
name of Edward VII will be one Of
The brightest in England's history. In
his death not only the British empire,
but tho civilized world has suffered an
irreparable loss"

cation of bribery charges against II.

State Attorney Wayman's immunity
bath was accepted by another refugee
today in the person of Michael s. Link,
democratic representative from Mitch
ell, while the prosecutors array OF
testimony received another confession
almost identical with that of the two
first "squealers", Representative Beck
meyer and White, respectively.
A night in the custody of a de-
tective with an indictment for perjury
against him, proved too much for Link.
Today he went before the jury and
changed his testimony and the charge
of perjury against him was quashed
by the state attorney. Link like White
and Buckmeyer is said by Mr.. Wayma =
10 have admitted taking $1,000 to cast
mis- votes for William Lorimer for
United States senator and to have re-
ceived 5000 as his share of the Jack
pot" split up of the funds at st. Louis.
The addition of Link to the list of
prosecuting witnesses gives the state
three men who are expected to testify
to the same story.
Mr. Wayman and his aides are jubiIant
over the success of the probe so far, and
1t Is not too much to say they anticipate
a stampede of witnesses which uncover
hitherto undreamed of scandals in the
Illinois assembly.
1t is said to be Mr.. Wayman's deter
mination TO deal leniently with the small
fry" that he may make sure of the
men higher up
O'Neal Brown, alleged to have handled
the LorimeS money, and Robert Wilson,
charged with having distributed the Jack

the day. They were accompanied by coun-

among the days witnesses. Clark came
to the building accompanied by an attor-
ney and under the surveillance of de-
tective against whom he protested vainly.
Three of the mysterious witnesses
who went before the inquisitors were dis.
covered to be Allen C. Tanner, a grocer.
and j. ]. Baker, a newspaper publisher
of Mt. Vernon, Blairs home, but the third
man was not revealed. They will testify
regarding allegations that Blair was un-

session Of the legislature which elected

No indictments were returned. but in
connection with the statement that the
grand jury would remain in session neSt
week It was intimated that further true
bills charging perjury might be expected.

one of the most notable battles of ex-

fore it is ended it is possible that all of
the prominent chemists of the country
will be called into the case. The state

AS the granddaughter of President
Benjamin Harrison, Miss Marthena Har-

attention seldom shown a young girl just
entering upon a social career in Wash

But Miss Harrison, who made her debut
here last season, could without ques-

her father, Russell Harrison, the son of
a President, but her mothers family
were also distinguished in the world of
politics, and her maternal grandfather.

both parents Miss Harrison inherits in

by the gossips that Miss Elkins will
marry an American, when she does mar

been fast friends and have many tastes
in common. During the past winter
rumors far different from those which
had formerly connected Miss Elkins with
a foreign alliance have been rife. So
persistent have been these rumors that
her engagement to a Washingtonian
would soon be made public that for

are many admirers of Miss Elkins who
still cling to the idea of semi-royal
marriage for her.
