THE BUMPIRE.

A fool there was, and he had his say,
! Even as you and 1.
To aa KLEIN, or a Kane. or a Hank
O'Day,
Or any other old judge of the play,
And he said it all in a nasty way,
Even as you and l.
o, the bowls we waste and the growls
we waste
And the hit that inspired the howl,
Belongs to the jumps who called it
wrong,
o, yes, know that he called it wrong,
For he said that the ball was foul
A fool there was and he got the can,
Even as you and l.
You're out of the game" said the UNI
pire man.
Amid the jeers of each hostile fan,
Down to the clubhouse the fool he ran,
Even as you and 1.
But it isn't the shame of quitting the
game
That makes it so hard to bear,
It's the thought of the hit that you'll
never get,
The thought of the hit that you would
have got
If the umpire had called it fair.

ROB PASSENGERS
AS THEY SLEEP
Pullman Occupants in Train
Waken and Find Clothing
and Money Gone.
w. A. MEEsE IS A VICTIM
Trousers Missing. He Is Obliged to
Go Home in Union Suit land
Overcoat.

Thieves operated during last night
on a Burlington passenger train
from st. Louis arriving in Rock Is
land at z o'clock this morning, but
the fact was not discovered until
the victims awoke in their berths
just before pulling into Moline.
Those who were robbed were w. A.
Meese. Moline; William H. Bluedorn,
East ST. Louis, and j. c. McGregory,
New York city. The losses reported
are:
Mr.. Meese-Coat and trousers, So
in change and two pairs of eye
glasses
Mr.. cGregory-Trousers set of
false teeth and pearl stickpin, fam
lily heirloom, valued at $3.50.
Mr.. Bluedorn-Trousers and $4S.
All in Lower Berths.
Mr. Meese is the well known Mo-
line attorney and had been in St.
Louis on business. Mr.. Bluedorn is
great chief of records and seals for
the Illinois council of Red Men, and
is a frequent visitor in the twin-cit-
les. Mr.. McGregory is travelling
statesmen for a New York concern.
The tree men occupied lower berths
in the Pullman sleeper Stratford.
Mr.. Meese saved his watch and a
wallet containing a sum of money.
His watch was under his pillow and
the wallet was in his vest, which
was overlooked by the thief When
Mr.. McGregory said his teeth were
gone it was first supposed he was
joking, but he proved it by display
ing a mouth without molar in it.
He had placed the false teeth in his
trousers pocket.
Mr.. Meese and Mr.. McGregory left
the train at Moline, the former go
ing to his home in his union suit,
over which he wore his topcoat. Mr..
NcGregor got a suit out of a trunk
in the baggage car. But Mr.. Blue
dron remained on the train until it
reached Rock Island.
BIuedrOn Sends for Trousers.
Here he sent to clothing store
and asked that a clerk come to the
sleeper and take his measure for a
pair of trousers. He was accommo-
dated. He stood off the clothier and
was obliged to borrow five cents for
car fare to Moline from the clerk
None of the other passengers in
the sleeper report having missed any
property. The porter of the car de-
clares he was on duty in the car
through the whole night, but did not
see any persons excepting those hav-
ing berth tickets enter. 1t is sup
posed that the thief boarded the
sleeper at st. Louis and left the
train at some point en- route. The
robbery has been reported to the
general offices of the company, to-
gether with a description of the stoI-
en- property and there will be an IN
vestigation by special officers.

seen in the papers, but 1 was not able
to shed any light on the matters they
want to know about, as far as bribery
| is concerned
This statement comedies with that
which Mr.. Wheelan made to The Argus
at the time the confession of Repre-
sentative Charles A White, opening
the scandal, first became public.
Deal Was Published.
There was nothing secret in conrec-
ton with the puI chase by Mr.. Wheelan
of the property mentioned. 1t is To-
Gated at 2216 Fourth avenue, directly
north of the old Wheelan homestead
on Fifth avenue. In making the pur-
chase Mr. Wheelan dealt with ]. B.
Lidders, who acted for Mrs. Elizabeth
Bender, his mother-in-law, owner of
the property. The deed was made
out to Mrs WheeIan and the consider
alton named in the records was $50,
following the custom in many transac,
tions of giving merely nominal figure.
These records were duly published and
Mr.. Wheelan made no secret of the
purchase, telling friends about it at
the time and saying he had long de
sired to own the place. 1t was gener-
ally understood that the consideration
was in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
that the price came out of Mr..
Wheelan's salary as member of the
legislature.
Mrs. Lidders, speaking to an Argus
representative today, said no attempt
was made. to conceal the transaction.
She added that representative of the
Chicago states attorneys Office had
interviewed Mr.. Lidders in connection
with the deal and that Mr.. Lidders
had been summoned to appear before
the grand jury at Chicago today. He
left yesterday on his regular run as
mail clerk on the Rock Island, arriving
in Chicago last night.
No doubt corruption has existed in
the Illinois legislature for years and
very likely there are good grounds
for an inquiry into the manner in
which Senator Lorimer was elected
In The Argus investigation of the part
that Mr.. Wheelan played. however,
nothing has been found to cast serious
suspicion upon him. During the ses-
sions of the Legislature he kept In
close touch with his constituents, cor
sulting with them as freely before
voting for Lorimer as he did before
supporting the more important mea-
sures before the house
States Attorney L. NJ Magill was
also in Chicago yesterday and called
upon States Attorney Wayman, but
it is understood his visit had to do
with other matters than the legislative
bribery investigation.

PLANET PROBLEMS.
We Really Know Very Little About the
Celestial Bodies.

We Really Know Very Little About the
Celestial Bodies.
1.-The amount of ignorance not yet
removed concerning the planets is very
great" writes e. S. Grew. I'VE do
not know. for example. whether the
planet Venus rotates- If it does it may
possibly have a life and a vegetation
like our own, though we suspect that
it is clothed in eternal cloud. OF
Saturn's rings we cannot say whether
they consist of millions of tiny moons
like brickbats or whether they may be
even smaller Still-a veil of shining
dust. OF Jupiter we can only say-t that
it is covered with clouds, though of
their substance we know nothing,
and, according to Professor Lowell and
Sir William Higgins, some of the
bands we see on it may be riffs in the
clouds. revealing the body of the plan
ct. Little lines crisscroSs these bands.
Photographs of Jupiter taken at Flag
staff observatory seem to indicate that
these lines, too. are the upper clouds
of Jupiter.
But whenever we see a planet we
see it badly. Even Mars, the most
clearly revealed of them all, is con-
stantly obscured by refracting haze,
so that even of the famous canals
though nearly 500 in number, only
few are percepdble at a time, and an
unskilled observer would probably not
make them out at all. Sandstorms.

face of the planet, and because the
winds of Mars are very gentle and

Starts at Springfield.

Starts at Springfield.
Springfield, Ill.,, May 10.-Sangamon
county's probe of the alleged legisla-
tive bribery began yesterday when
the grand jury heard the testimony of
Representative George W. English of
Vienna. the first of a group of wit
nesses which have been summoned by
States Attorney Burke.
English did not support Lorimer for
election, but he made a sensational
address during the vote on the senate,
which address Minority Leader Browne
resented in fiery speech, as Englishs
words were interpreted by Browne to
mean that money had been used.
Senators Want Action.
Washington, May Developments
show a firm determination on the part
of members of the United States SEN
ate to force William Lorimer to estab-
lish his right to a seat in that body
in consequence of the charges relative
to the manner In which his election
was obtained. The latest developments
at the Chicago end have aroused in
tense interest here and some of the
talk that has been going on in the
cloakroom was divulged last night
A report is current that Senator
Clay of Georgia, one of the leaders on
the democratic side, would offer res
olution directing an investigation of
the charges affecting Mr.. Lorimer's
election, so that speedy action, thor
oughly satisfying to all persons. might
be had.
1t was learned subsequently, how
ever, that Senator Clay had made no
plans for introducing a resolution, but,
in common with several other sena-
tors, had taken the matter under in
vestigation, and that there was the de-
termination already mentioned that the
charges could not be allowed to pass
that the senate must purge itself in
this specific case of the popular con-
ception that its seats are matter of
common barter in the political market.
Although it is impossible to quote
any senator directly, for reasons of
delicacy which the senators them
selves feel, it is permissible to say
that tentative decision has been
reached along the lines indicated.
