ONE A PERJURER, OTHERS
BRIBERS, IS ACCUSATION
Three Illinois SoIonS Are Indicted
on Charges of Perjury
and Vote Buying

CHICAGO, May 6.-Lee O'Neil
Browne of ottawa, Democratic leader
of the Illinois house of representatives,
was indicted on a charge OF bribery,
and Representative Robert e. Wilson
of Chicago and Representatives Mich
ael S. Link of Mitchell, were indicted
on charges of perjury today by the
special grand jury investigating VII
liam Lorimers election to the United
States senate.
The evidence on which the indict-
ments were based was supplied by
Representative Charles A. White of
O'Fallon, ILL.,, and by Representative ii.
]. C. Beckemeyer of Carlyle.
Wilson and Link, as also Whlte ana

Whites vote for Lorimer for senator.
The perjury charge against LINK is
based on his testimony before the
grand jury May 1. In this testimony

not in ST. Louis July Is, 1909, and did
not meet Representative Wilson of Chi
cago. ,,,.,
The perjury charge against Wilson
is based on mis- testimony before the
grand jury May 5. The grand jury

ment, did hand money to both Whlte
and Beckemeyer at St. Louis on the
date specified.

Earthquake shocks continue al

TELLS HOW HE|NZE
OBTAINED FINANCES
Dividend Plan Further Exposed
by Expert Accountant
John P. FernSIer
[Associated Press1

NEW YORK, May 6.-John P. Ferns
Ter, expert accountant, was again on
the witness stand at todays session Of
the trial of F. Augustus Heinze.
In his testimony yesterday Fernsler
described methods by which United
Copper company dividends had been
paid-largely, he claimed, by means OF
loans taken out to be repaid when the
so-called "insiders" turned back their
dividends to the Heinze coterie.
Today he related the manner In
which, it is alleged, the company had
financed itself for the payment of the
dividends. His testimony was fortified
by a blueprint chart of tabulation
made up, he said, from examination
of the company's books, the bank S
books, the dividend checks and other
documents.
The January operations, according to
Fernsler's testimony, were as follows:
ION January 26, 1907, when the United
Copper company had a quarterly dlVl-
dend falling due, that company had
balance of less than $4,000. Here Max
H. Schultze of Otto Heinze & Co.
stepped in and borrowed $6OOOOO from
the Mercantile National bank, adding
to this a check of 100000 from A. T.
Heinze, making total of $72O,OOO avail
able for dividend payments"
Then began q system of exchange OF
checks through the subsidiary con-
Germs.
These travels of the $72O,OOO were
traced by Fernsler until the sum was
brought home to Max H. Schultze's ac-
count in the Mercantile National bank.
This method, he testified, resulted In
giving the subsidiaries banking credits
and enabled the United Copper compa-
nv to pay 81, OPS, 900 in dividends.
OF the dividend payments but $155,00O
went to the holders of United Copper
outside of the Heinze family.
The Heinzes and their dummy hold
ers-clerks in the employment of the
Heinzes, according to Fernser-on re-
ceiving the dividend checks indorsed
them back to Max H. Schultze, who de-
posted them in the Mercantile Nation
al bank to his account. Then Schultze,
as in April and August of the same
year, he testified yesterday, discharged
the 100000 loan.
The government this afternoon rested
it's case with the usual reservation.

Beautiful Lid Cremated, but Its
Wearer Is Rescued

OAKLAND, May 6.-An expensive
millinery creation was cremated, lts
wearer narrowly missed injury and a
score Of passengers on an oakland car

of "hre" rent the air. and a trail or
smoke was seen issuing from the mass

bedecked the woman's head.
Passengers organized themselves INTO

NINE P|NCHED, BUT DER
BIG GUYS GET AWAY
Cop Grabs Young Rock ThroWers,
and Their Mothers Are
Frantic

Nine fearful youths, ranging in age
from 9 to IA years, were toted to po-
lice headquarters last night, charged
with disturbing the peace and other
misdeameanors. Later they were sent
to the detention home and for several
hours the desk sergeant at police head
quarters was busy answering calls from
frantic mothers, whose children had
not returned to their homes.
According to the police report the
boys have been congregating in an
abandoned barn near Second and Hope
streets. and hurting stones at passing
pedestrians. By way of variation.
they have overlooked an occasional
passerby and hurled the rocks through
the windows of houses adjacent to the
barn.
Numerous complaints have been for
warded to police headquarters and re-
peated warnings given to the youthful
gang, but to no avail. Last night an
unusually accurate furry of rocks at
tracted the attention of Patrolman
Robinson, who was on duty at the beat
covering Second and Hope street.
Robinson entered the abandoned
barn before the youths were aware OF
his presence. Thirteen boys were in
the crowd, but four of them escaped
before the patrolman could block the
various exists. Those who escaped are
said to be leaders of the crowd, and
have been terrorizing the neighbor-
hood by embryonic Captain Kidd
stunts.
The nine boys were locked in the
barn until the arrival of the patrol
wagon. At first they regarded the ad-
venture as a joke, but when booked
and sent to the detention home, their
facial expressions changed and there
was weeping and gnashing of teeth,
Those arrested were William Butt,
years old, 244 South Bunker Hill
avenue; Harold Shaw, 10 years old,
101 South Bunker Hill avenue; Glenn
McGinty 10 years old, 121 North
Olive street; Ben Frinkle, 10 years old,
517 West Third street; Cecil De Ar
man, IA years old, 121 South Olive
street; Adolph Walter. IA years old,
21S North Grand avenue; Charles
Smith, 10 years old, 10S North Grand
avenue; Clinton G. Smith, II years old,
5S5 West First street and Marcellus
Snider, IL years old, 110 North Hope
street.
Gee, we get pinched and the big
guys get away" said one of the
Youngsters. "Guess we better give de
cops their names, cause their as much
to blame as we are" They then
gave the names of the four escapes as
Louis Christopher, known as "de cap
tain of der bunch;" Charles McCauley,
Earl Freshwell and William Walter
1--WE was just trowin' rocks at each
oder, and we was not ter blame. cause
some of de rocks went trew windows
and hit people," said young Charles
Smith. How long will dey send us
up fer?"
Just then the gong Of the patrol
wagon sounded and the nine youths
wereNbundled off to the detention home,
In less than half an hour the queries
from anxious mothers began to pour
into police headquarters and the desk
sergeant, the lieutenant and captain
were busy explaining the whereabouts
of the boys.

LOS ANGELES WINS FIGHT
OVER SWITCHING CHARGES

WASHINGTON, May 6-In a report
by Commissioner Franklin K. Lane,
made public today the interstate COM
merce commission has rendered it's de-
cision in the San Francisco and Los
Angeles switching cases, involving the
right of the carriers to make an ad-
ditional charge for receiving and de-
livering carload freight to and from
industries located upon industrial spur
tracks and sidetracks when the car
riers receive the main line haul.
For years 1t has been the practice
of railroads entering San Francisco
and Los Angeles to exact charge of
$3.50 a car in addition to the regular
freight charge for this spur track de-
livery.
The commission holds that the
charge is unreasonable, and unlaw-
full, and directs that it be discontinued.
