Chicago, September 9.-Attorney Lee o'Neil Browne of Ottawa, III, legislative minority leader, charged with bribery in connection with the election of Will liam Lorimer of Chicago to the United States Senate was acquitted by a jury in Judge George Kernsten's division of the criminal court today. The jury which took eight ballots, was out 21 hours. On the first ballot the jury stood to for acquittal. This was the second trial, the first jury having disagreed.
 Browne's eyes filled with tears as the clerk of the court finished reading the verdict. A second later he threw his arms about Attorney Charles Erbstein of coun- sel for the defense. Browne was then hoisted to the shoulders of his friends and carried out of the court room amid handshaking and cheering.
 Browne's eyes filled with tears as the though he had been completely absolved of further trouble in relation to the vex- inb subject of Senator Lorimers cleo ton. Apparently he had forgotten for the time that he Is under indictment on the same charge and will have to face trial at Springfield in Sangamon county. when lnlS SuDJecl was men toned to Attorney Erbstein of Browne's counsel, the lawyer said:
 Don't worry about Springfield; we'll take care of that when it comes up.
 ''The verdict in the Browne case came as dramatic aftermath to yesterday 5 sensational incident between Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Lorimer regarding the Hamilton club banquet.
 Senator Lorimer was attending meet ing of directors of the La Sale Street National bank when word was given him concerning the verdict. A telephone girl at the bank received the message. Leav-

Boston. September 9.-The first accident among the professional aviators at the Harvard Boston aero meet occurred to- night, when Claude Grahame-White of England ended an hours duration flight by landing sidewise in his Farman bi- plane, crumpling up the right side of his lower plane and damaging the chassis. White was unhurt. The machine was not seriously damaged.
 The wind blew over 20 miles an hour for the major part of the day, which prevented any attempts at soaring until well in the afternoon. Grahame- White as usual was first on the field and put the high winds to advantage in trying for a new mark at the getaway at which he holds the worlds record of 20 feet g inches
 His first effort was 52 feet inches. This was followed by another mark of

FRANK N. GOLDEN LOSES JOB
 IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Washington, September 9.-Frank M. Couden, cashier in the office of the sur veyer of customs at Cincinnati, whose name was prominently mentioned in the Warriner embezzlement scandal case in the Big Four railroad, was discharged from the government service today.
 The temporary suspension of Couden oc- cured several weeks ago and the order making it permanent came from Secre- tary MacVeagh at Dublin, N. M., today. Coudens removal is ordered on the spe- cific charge of insubordination In that he absented himself from office without leave. While it Is not stated in the or der of dismissal it is known that Couden went to the Ohio state convention at Co., lumbus after permission to do so had been refused by Amor Smith, the surveyor at Cincinnati.
 Senator Dick of Ohio, without avail, came to his defense. No charge is form ally made against Couden so far as Is known because of the connecf.on of his name with the Warriner embezzlement. It is common knowledge, however, it

 incident 1t is said that certain members of the crew were loath to enter the small boats but others of greater courage quickly manned another life boat which was successfully launched. This boat. in charge of Duncan Milligan of Luding- ton, did heroic work, and in less than an hour picked up IA survivors who were floating about clinging to bits of wreck age. Then another life boat was manned and Joined in the work of rescue It was a race for time and more than 30 were saved.
 Meanwhile the tug A. A. c. Tessler of Milwaukee, car ferry Pere Marquette No. 20, steamer Pere Marquette No. and a tug from Sheboygan, towing the She boygan life saving crew arrived on the scene. They instituted thorough search for survivors and bodies, and succeeded in picking up seven of the former and eight of the latter
 The cause of the disaster may always remain a mystery. The men who know what the trouble was are all dead and among the survivors there are only theo- ries and speculations. The best conclusion seems to be that the car ferry's after water compartment filled through an open or broken dead light, which was followed at the last minute by bursting of bulk heads.

Career of MT. Bowers

Washington, September 9.-A gradu- ate of Yale In 1879 and of the Co., lumbia Law school in 1882, general counsel of the Chicago and Northeast ern railroad in 1898 and solicitor gen eral of the United States in charge of the governments business before the highest judicial tribunal of the coun- try at 50 years of age, Lloyd w. Bow CTS, descendant of hardly English Irish stock, climbed rapidly In his profes- sion He was born at Springfield, Mass, March 9, 1859. The Bowers were prominent in Massachusetts as a family. Many clergymen and teachers were included in the number. During his 16 years connection with the Chi cago and Northwestern railroad 1t is stated that no charges, technical or otherwise, were brought against the system.
 MT. Bowers was appointed solicitor general soon after President Taft's in auguration He had figured conspicu- ously in the gossip about the success sion to one of the vacancies on the su- preme bench of the United States, and was even seriously discussed at one time with Governor Hughes of New ticeship itself.
 President Taft had made no secret of his intention to appoint MT. Bowers to the court upon some favorable op- portunity in the near future, it is de- clared. During his term as solicitor general no case which he argued was decided in finality against him. One decision regarding grazing on forest reserves went against him by an equal ly divided court Later the case was set for rehearing.

is declared, that the treasury officials disapproved of his conduct as indicated by revelations in that dedication.
 It is stated that 1t was through the in formation of Couden that the Big Four railroad officials learned of the Warriner shortage. Later 1t developed to the sat isfaction of treasury officials that Couden had known of the shortage for a long time before he told of it. Treasury of flcials were of the opinion that Couden should have told his superior officers of what he knew instead of telling it to a political leader who in turn took it to the railroads.
 Tipped OR the Steal
 Cincinnati, September 9.-Frank M. Couden made 1t public last fall that he tipped" of the s642, ,0o0 shortage-zin the local treasury of the Big Four railroe~ about one year ago. Couden secured an interview with President Brown of the New York Central lines through Senator Dick of Ohio. Couden admitted that he gave the information in the hope of se- curing reward in money. Charles l.. Warriner, whose defalcation was exposed, is now serving six-year term in the Ohio penitentiary.
