l0RIMER LOSES IN
FIGHT FOR DELAY

Chicago. Sept. &c. - The senatorial
sub committee on privileges and cleo
tons, which convened here to investi-
gate the alleged fraud in the election
or United States Senator William
Lorimer, decided today to proceed at
this time with the taking of testimony,
and not to postpone action until after
the November elections, as urged by
the senator's attorney.
Al the opening OF todays session,
Chairman Burrows also announced the
committee would permit Attorney AL
fred Austrian, representing the Chicago
Tribune, and Judge Elbridge Hanecy,
representing Senator Lorimer, to APP
pear in the hearing.
Attorney Hanecy presented his for
NAL motion for q continuance of tha
hearing until after the November eiec-
tons. The reason advanced was I'm
substance similar to the argument
made by him yesterday, when he de-
clared that Senator Lorimer would be
handicapped through Discrimination
OF legislators now under indictment to
testify before the committee. The
Tribunes list Of witnesses was sub
mitted and the committee began con-
sideration Of methods OF procedure
Senator Lorilner's plea for delay was
| announced by Senator Paynter. Of
Kentucky. who said:
THE committee has given due con-
sideration to the presentation made
for continuance Of this hearing until
after the November elections, and has
not found the reasons contained there
in OF sufficient weight to warrant the
delay"

NOTED AUTO DRIVER
HURT IN ACCIDENT
George Robertson Thrown
From His Machine on Long
Island Speedway.

Mineola, l.. l., Sept. &c. - George
Robertson, the automobile driver. was
thrown from his automobile while
taking trial spin this morning on the
Long Island motor speedway. He was
unconscious when picked up and was
rushed to q hospital
Robertson was going at an estimated
speed or 70 miles an hour in the new
Benz car, which he was to drive I'm
the vanderbilt cup races 9 week from
tomorrow, and which he was giving
an initial tryout. When lie struck the
Massapequa curve. considered the most
dangerous in the course, the car gave
jump, swerved from the course and
was completely overturned. Robertson
and stephen Reynolds, a New York
man whom he was carrying as a mas
sengcr were thrown 80 feet or moro
clear of the wreckage.
Both Robertson and Reynolds were
unconscious when another car came
along and they were picked up. Rev
nolds was found 10 be suffering from
internal injuries.
A hasty examination caused the
physicians co fear that Robertson's in
juries were serious If not fatal. Ve
appeared to be suffering from q bad
scalp wound. sprained or fractured
arm, concussion of the brain and nos
sible internal injuries. At the Nassa,
hospital, however, 1t appeared to the
surgeons from the preliminary exam
ination that the automobi!ists Injuries
might not be so serious as was at first
feared.
1t was thought Robertson had at
tempted to take the dangerous curve
at too high a speed.

MOTHER AND her
CHILDREN URGING
PARDON OF WALSH
Deny That Any Element Of
Moral Turpitude Was In
volved in Crime Which
He Committed.

Washington, Sept. GA petition to
Enc president Of the United States for
the pardon Of John r. Walsh, former
president OF the Chicago National bank,
from the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan. was filed at the depart
ment of justice today by Attorney
George Buckingham, of Chicago, on
behalf of Mary l.. Walsh, Richard w.
Walsh and John w. Walsh. respec-
lively the wife and sons of the pris-
oner.
Accompanying the application for
pardon were thousands of letters from
individuals in Chicago and throughout
the middle west urging President Taft
to grant the petition. The file of these
letters comprises rs bound volumes.
Besides letters from personal friends
and business associates, there were let
tiers from all the officers and directors
of the Walsh banks which were in
volved In the case, letters from the
banks stockholders and depositors and
Jurors who found Walsh guilty Of mis-
appropriating funds OF his banks.
History of the Conviction.
In 1907 Mr.. Walsh was found guilty
OF a violation of the United States
banking laws, in having made excess
sive loans to railroads in which he was
interested and in December, 1909, he
was sentenced to five years In Leaven-
WOTlfI DTlSOH.
Walsh is 70 years old, and the main
motive in the appeal to President Taft
Is based on the prisoners failing health.
He Ia reported as suffering from acute
heart disease and physicians affirm in
the petition that he Is likely to die
at any moment.
As set forth in the petition the
grounds on which his pardon is asked
are as follows:
That the crime for which he was
found guilty does not involve moral
turpitude and that none Of the acts
on which conviction was based were
done for, or resulted in any profit to
himself
THAT the depositors in all the banks
with which he was connected wero
paid In full and Immediately.
Loses His Own Fortune.
That the loss Of nearly all his own
large personal fortune, caused by the
forced liquidation of the banking insti-
buttons, is equivalent to a financial
fine many times in excess of any usu-
ally imposed, and is in itself most
severe punishment already suffered.
THAT this loss Of power. privilege
and position, together with the humil-
fation Of conviction and imprison-
ment, Is punishment already suffered
greatly in excess Of the usual.
THAT the racking strain of the four
years struggle to save his personal
name, as well as to save loss to par
ties interested has, with his advanced
age. 80 seriously affected his health
that continued Imprisonment Is likely
TO result fatally"

DEATH RATE IN THIS
COUNTRY IS VERY LOW
Census Bulletin Makes Remark
able Showing as Compared
With Former Years.

Washington. Sept. q. The death
rate in the United States in 1909 was
,15 in each 1000, according TO a bulle-
tin about TO be issued by tie census
bureau, and this is the lowest average
ever recorded for this country. The
figures cover only the cities and states
having laws requiring. the registration
of deaths ana these represent an esti-
mated total population of 4S,77G.S93. or
55.3 per cent OF the estimated total for
the entire country.
The states included in the summary
are California, Colorado. Connecticut,
Indiana Maine, Maryland. Massachu-
setts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey. New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Rhode Island. South Dakota, Vermont
Washington and Wisconsin.
In additCE these, returns were re
ceived from j. titles having local reg
istration laws. 7 otal number Of deaths
recorded was i32.53S. Of which S,b97,
,r over "a per cent were Of males. The
greatest mortality occurred in March.
and the lowest in June. In 1908, the
rate was 15.! per cent. the last year
Indicating falling off OF about half
Of one per cent.
Excellent as the showing is. il was
not so good Ak was made i'm England.
where the rate was only l4h to the
thousand. The low rate in both coun-
tries is attributed TO the absence OF
widespre adj cpidemics.

Are Too Plain to
Ignore.

:. Springfield, H., Sept. 26.--The repub-

today, adopted q platform approyino
OF the administrations of Preside nt
Tart and Governor Deneen. The tariff
plank follows the lines laid down in

Chairman Mckinley, Of the republican
congressional committee. Tho proceed :
angs were harmonious. Speaker Can
non IN vigorous speech declared that
the time has como to keep the repub-
lean faith whether or not failure be
the result.
The platform eomnnends President
art and congress who, as agents Of
the people, have carried forward an :
Sther step to tho principles and poll
cies which have dominated and con.
troIled the government Of the United

| Springfield. ILL.,, Sept. 2e.--Governor
Deneen, as temporary chairman,
opened the republican state convention
mere today with keynote address in
which he discussed the tariff along the
lines laid down by President Taft in
his campaign letter to the republican
congressional committee.
Speaker Cannon found a seat with
the Vermillion county delegation, but
was sought out and brought to the
platform.
Governor Deneen was enthusiastic
ally applauded. He declared that IS
imonths have passed since the begin
ming of the national administration, and
they have been fruitful in the enact
!ment OF legislation In redemption of
the pledges OF the 1908 platform, such
las tariff revision. the amendment of
lthe inter3tate commerce law, passage
OF the law authorizing the president to
withdraw public lands from entry, and
TO protect water power sites and con-
serve natural resources; passage OF the
postal savings bank law; amendment
of the employers liability law and
passage Of the law compelling publicity
lof contributions for campaign ex-
penses.
! These achievements, said the COVER
NOR, entitle the party and the presi-
dent to vote of confidence by the
American people.
Discussing the recent airing Of al
aeged corruption in the legislature, the
governor said:
! THE confessions Of four members OF
the legislature and the indictment OF
-four others, indicates the existence of
an extensive system Of corruption
which the republican party OF Illinois
must not merely denounce, but must
correct by acting as a whole In har-
mony with the views of our party as
expressed In its convention"
