Chicago, May 2S.-The Chicago Tri-
bune, in a statement tomorrow, COM
menting on Senator Lorimer's charges
in the United States Senate that the
Tribune was conspiring to ruin him,
will say:
THE statement that Mr.. Medin Nc
Cormick cOnspired with others to ruin
him (LOrimer) financially with Rep
,resentative Whites narrative is un-
true. Mr. Mccormick was not in Chi
cagO when the White narrative was
brought to the attention of the Tri-
bune. He did not know of its exis-
tence until he read 1t in the Tribune.
Mr.. Lorimer's bank Is of no interest to
the Tribune. He dragged it into the
case. One after another his frantic
falsifications could be nailed, but the
truth is being brought out in Sanga-
mon county Cook and Washington II
will be possible soon for all to decide
the question of Lorimer versus the
Tribune If that be of any Importance.
In the meantime the answers to Mr.
Lorimer are White, Link, Beckemeyer

REINSTATEMENT
Denies That He Has ConSpired
Against L0riner and Gives
Some History.

Springfield, Ill, May Ex-Governor
Deneen today issued the following
statement in reference to the speech
today in the United States Senate, in
which he was attacked by Senator Lor-
inner:
while reports Of Senator Lorimer's>
speech obtained by me have been mea-
gre, 1 understand that. he charges 1
entered into conspiracy with the chi
caSO Tribune to have published the
confession of Representative White
This charge is without any founda-
ton in fact The facts are as fol-
lows:
About midnight of the day before
the story was published, a represent
alive OF the Chicago Tribune met me
at the Union League club and informed
me that the editor of the Tribune was
exceedingly anxious to interview me
lance and that they would have to go
TO press within a few minutes. Ac-
cordingly, went TO the Tribune Of
"a statement was there made to me
of Mr.. Whites confession and an in
tervIew was requested. | gave a very
brief interview, in which 1 stated in
substance that full examination
should be made Of the assertions con-
tanned in the confession / expressed
no opinion regarding the truth Of the
'dr. Whites confession was in type
and was on the press when l arrived
at the Tribune office This was the
first intimation I received that Mr..
White had confessed or was in any
way implicated in charges OF bribery.
Regarding the deadlock over the
senatorship: After the primaries I
stood for the election of Senator Hos
kins and did not know that Mr.. Lori
mer. Mr.. Shurtleff and pleir friends
were against him until a minority of
the Republican members who were in
harmony with Mr. LOrimer and Speak
er Shurtleff had effected an organiZa-
ton of the house OF representatives
with the aid of Democratic mem berS.
after the deadlock had existed
some time, Mr.. LOrimer called upon me
repeatedly. I had assumed from con-
versatiOns we had at these times that
1t was entirely with a view to effect
ing a reconciliation between Repub-
lican factions; and, Notwithstanding ]
felt I had suffered unJustly by reason
of attacks made uDOn me by him and

and interest in the hope Of bringing
about harmony in the party
''Mr. Lorimer informed me his friends
would, under no circumstances, vote
for Senator HOPKINS and it was i'm

friends. I stated that they should go
to a Republican caucus to select a can

of the caucus and thereafter, by the
full vote of the party, his election to
the senatorship.

HOLTSLAW FOURTH
TOCONFESS CRIME
History of the Bribery Case
Since Affair First Be-
came Public.

Chicago, May Ex-senator HoltsIaw's
confession is the fourth confession OBJ
tanned since the exposure of the Lori
mer bribery scandal on April 80 last
The first confession was made by
Representative Charles A White of
O'Fallon, IL, who declared he had re-
ceivcd $1,000 from Representative
Lee O'Neil Browne for his vote for
LoTimer ard 5000 as his share of the
legislative Jackpot"
Although stigmatized as black
mailer by the men whose names he
had used, Whites confession was used
in the investigation in Cook and San
canon counties. In the Cook county
confession was corroborated by Repre-
sentative II. J. c. Beckemeyer OF Car
Isle, III. This second confession re-
suited in three Indictments in connec-
ton with the LOrimer case. These
were: Lee O'Neil Browne. leader of
the Democrats in the legislature, OF
Ottawa, Ill, on a charge of bribery.
Representative Robert E. Wilson
Democrat, on a perjury charge.
Represents tive II. s. Link of Mitch ell
ILL.,, Democrat, charged with perjury
Following an offer of immunity
Link made the third confession, and
the Indictment standing against him
was nolIed.
Browne and Wilson were arrested and
gave bond, Browne in the sum OF
$4,000 and Wilson S.. 900.
Upon receipt of telegram from the
chief of police Of Springfield asking
for Senator Broderick's Immediate ar
rest, Assistant Chief of Police Scheut-
Ter tonight detailed detectives to hunt
for Broderick. The detectives had not
found him at 1910 O'Clock.

paper cover and have been subservient
since that time"
Coming down to modern times, he
declared that all the power of the city,
county, state and federal administra-
tons, under the leadership of Senator
BuSSe, assembled into a misfit organi-
zation,' combined to destroy the or
ganizatfon controlled by Lorimer, with
intent to give control TO the Tribune
He traced his breach with Governor
Deneen largely to a difference of Opin-
ion between the two as to the wisdom
Of spending independently of action by
the national government, the $4,000
600 pledged by the state towards the
deep waterway to gulf project, which
the governor favored and he opposed.
Governor Deneea Accused.
He asserted that the governor per-
sonaIly advised in the preparation of
the White story. He went on to say:
THE governor Joined this campaign
of Islander because he saw an oppor-
tunity to throw dust in the eyes of the
people, use the conspiracy to defea
those who stood for federal co-opera
ton in expending the $20.000.00O, and
secure control of the next legislature
Why he persists in his efforts to get
control of the S20,G00.000 when he well
knows that it in itself is not suffi-
cient to construct a waterway is
mystery that cannot fathom."
Senator LorimeT further attacked the
Chicago Tribune's policy In opposition
to the PayneAldrich tariff. attributinS
1t to its failure to put in the free list
wood pulp, which would have saved
It $4,000 year.
This" he said as the only tax we
have any record of in which the Trib-
une pays It's just share"

jury late today. States Attorney Burke
told him Holtslaw had confessed, that
he would give him the opportunity TO
tell what he knew about the trans
action and that he might consult an
attorney. FREEZER declined to consult
an attorney and after telling Burke
what he knew about the situation was
taken in front Of the grand jury, where
he repeated the story.
FREEZER corroborated in every detail,
the story told by HOltslaw regarding
the meeting in Freier's room at TIE
st. Nicholas. So FAR as the evidence
presented shows, there is nothing to
show that FREEZER had anything 10 do
directly with the agreement to pay
members of the committee for their
votes in favor of his company. When
FTeier's story had been told to the
grand jury the jurors voted indict-
mentS and made their report

three counts directed at Senator Stan

moved that it be nOIled and this was
done. HOltslaw then left TIE court
room saying he was going to his home

issued for Broderick and his bail fixed

CHINESE PROTEST

the gentry and other popular leaders
in Human and Honan provinces to the

MINER PROSPECTS
DESERT WITHAUTO
Los Angeles Man Leaves for
Gold Fields in Car of His
Own Make.

Positively the most elaborate and
comfortable "gold-seekers' train" that
ever started from civilization into the
wilderness, pulled out of Los Angeles
last Monday evening on its way to not
only the known mining camps of the
southwest, but also into the far
reaches of mountainous country in the
gold belt included in southern Califor-
MIA, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
Across those same desert wastes where

equipment was encompaSsed in a well
built prairie schooner or entrusted to
the backs of faithful pack animals,
and whose bones lie bleaching beside
the trail or in some long forgotten
and overlooked gulch a new kind of
mining prospector is now headed, and
his equipment is the very latest known
to mining men: the sole result of his
knowledge as a mechanical engineer,
combined with the knowledge of the
mining engineer chemist and assayist;
and his conveyance, the acme of auto
mobile construction. combining the
Injuries of a magnate's railway car;
the business aspect of a draughtman's
studio; the equipment Of the most up
to-oate machine shop, and the access
series of a complete chemists labora-
tory.
Silent Builder.
The man who did it all is a marvel.
For twelve months one of the most
quiet, unassuming, non-communica-
tive, yet one of the brightest minds,
has been working day by day TO build
and equip motor car and outfit that
would meet every contingency in the
practical side of mining life, without
any OF the hardships attendant on his
predecessors. And the finished product
is a triumph in the automobile world
and the forerunner of future mining
operations.

signer and sole owner of this wonder
full car. For eight years he has been
a practical mining prospector and has
