Some little girl in ogden Is prob

FIND NEW BRIBE EVIDENCE
Charles Luke, Now Dead, is Said to
Have Confessed TO Getting
$1,000 for Vote.

Springfield Ill.--State's Attorney
Burke of Sangamon county has OBJ
tanned information that another mem.
Der of the Illinois Legislature received
81 900 for voting for William Lorimer
for senator.
The man who made this admission
of receiving cash for his vote was
Charles S. Luke of Nashville, who
represented the Forty-fourth district
in the house, and who has since died.
Mr.. Burke obtained the knowledge of
Luke's admission some time ago, but
it could not be used as evidence In
any pending criminal case.
1t is pertinent however, to the
broader matter Of Lorimer's election
now under investigation by the sena-
torial committee in Chicago and may
be used in that inquiry.
The admission was made by Luke,
according to one of Mr.. Burke's star
familiar with the matter, to Hugh v.
Murray of Carlyle, now states attor-
ney of Clinton county.
The date of the conversation In
which Luke made the confession was
August IS. 1909, months prior to the
publication of the White confession
and the corroborative confessions of
Beckemeyer, Link and Holstlaw Luke
is said to have told Murray:
81 got $1,000 for my vote for Lori
mer, and Beckemeyer was fool II he
didn't get the same"
Luke was one of those present in
the Southern hotel bathroom in st.
Louis. and his widow gave testimony
before the Cook county grand jury
that seemed TO indicate that he had
not been overlooked in the Jackpot"
distribution.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
MEN DECIDE TO HEAR EVIL
DENcE ABOUT JACKPOT
WILL WIDEN INQUIRY SCOPE
Charles A. White on Stand as First
Witness Retells His Story of Al
legged Bribery in Election of United
States Senator.

Chicago-As a result of a decision
made by the senate investigating com
mittee overruling Attorney Hanecy's
objection to Charles A. Whites testi-
mony at the hearing Monday, all
Jackpot" and other evidence dealing
with alleged bribery of Illinois legisla-
tors to vote for Senator William Lori
mer will be admitted
Arguments on making permanent
the ruling to admit Jackpot" testi-
mony were made, each side being al
lowed twenty minutes. Upon the con-
clusion of the arguments they ruled
that the question which precipitated
it should be answered. They also
decided that hereafter each Jack
pot" question should be ruled upon
separately.
Attorney Hanecy's objection came
when Representative Charles A.
White was ON the stand White had
told his story of the alleged offer Of
$1,000 to vote for Lorimer for senator
and had begun to tell the committee
that in addition he was promised a
share in the Jackpot" when Attorney
Hanecy interrupted.
Attorney Hanecy submitted that the
Jackpot" evidence was irrelevant to
the bribery charge.
The committee retired to a private
room for deliberation and after ten
minutes decided that Mr.. Hanecy's
objection could not stand The deci
sion is taken to widen the scope OF
the inquiry to include every action
which in any way has bearing on Sen
ator Lorimer's election.
Whites story was practically the
same as he told In the Browne trials.

SIXTEEN Die IN A WRECK
ROCK ISLAND TRAIN GOES
THROUGH OPEN BRIDGE
Disaster Occurs Near Clayton, Kan,
When Heavy Rainstorm Causes
Small Greek to Become Torrent.

Clayton, Kan-A terrible disaster
took place on the Rock Island rail
road two miles east of here Friday
when a fast train plunged through an
open bridge and into 20 feet of water
Sixteen persons were killed and II
injured. Most of the victims were oc.
cupants of the smoking car, which
was teleseoped by the car following
it.
The stream which wrought the de.
struction is at ordinary times simply
a dry arroyo, with no water, but with
its banks 80 feet below the level OF
the railroad bridge A tremendous
rain had fallen during the night and
the ordinarily dry bed was soon filled
to the brim with wild torrent. The
bridge itself was quickly broken up
and carried away.

forward end of the train took the
plunge into the water filled ravine.
The locomotive, tender and baggage

gageman and conductor were all in
stantly killed
The smoker, which stopped on the
brink OF the stream, was telescoped
by chair car and many of the pas.
sengers killed outright Others were
thrown into the stream and drowned.
With the exception of the last Pull
man the entire train left the track
and the cars and coaches were piled
In one big heap or rolled into the
ditch alongside the rails.
The uninjured passengers made
their way to the brink of the stream
and rendered what assistance they
could, working by the light of the few
lanterns which could be found
Other passengers as well as train
men walked to Clayton in the search
for help. From this place the news
was telegraphed to headquarters and
relief trains were started from Belle
VILE and Phillipsburg. Citizens of
Clayton in wagons drove hastily to
the scene of the wreck and. aided by
bonfires which they lighted, worked
in the storm amid the debris in the
search for the dead and injured.
The little stream lost its water as
rapidly as it had found it, and soon
the ravine was practically dry. Down
stream for half mile the dead and
injured were found and removed to
the improvised hospitals. Nine of
these dead were identified by letters
and otherwise. Seven are without
