ator, Squelched
Continued on Page 2. Column 3

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-Lee
O'Neil Browne, recently acquitted of
bribery in connection with the election
of United States Senator Lorimer, was
refused recognition on the floor of the
Illinois democratic state convention
here today.
Browne was named on the reso1u-
tfons committee by members of the
twelfth senatorial district delegation
His name was Kissed and cheered by
delegates.
After the convention was brought to
a close, Browne made his way to the
chairman and explained he wanted to
say he could not approve of that part
of the platform which referred to
United States Senator Lorimer
The democratic party, according to the
platform, admitting that Senator Lori
mer was elected by the vote of some
of it's party, does not assume that it
has any political interest in Senator
Lorimer and it does not consider him
as representing the principles of the
party. The election is deplored.
The original draft condemned bath
room tactics and Jackpot legislation
These words were eliminated by the
committee according to the secretary,
because they were Objectionable.
Congressman Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, was the principal speaker.

that If he could locate DR.. ]. E. Shaw
he believed he could find his mother.
DR.. Shaw is a well known physician
of Mill Valley. He has been long alb

here.
I'VE have had no trace of my mother
for over a month"; said Frank Davis
today. Detectives are looking for Dr.
Shaw. He is said to be at Victoria,
3. C. I think my mother is not in
her right mind. We have no idea where
she is.
'Dr. Shaw first met my mother last
January, when he attended my wife.
He made frequent visits and treated
my mother and other members of the
family. Mrs. Shaw, his wife, was alb
sent at the time.
"One night in July my father came
home and found my mother gone. She
left no note of explanation. My wife
was in the house during the day, but
did not see my mother leave She
took some of her belongings with her,
and tore the face from the only photo
graph we had of her. Ny father and
1 became suspicious of DR.. Shaw at
the time, as he was missing from Mill
Valley for three days following my
mothers disappearance.
Then DR.. Shaw returned. He seemed
anxious to avoid US whenever we met
Ny mother had shipped her sewing
machine to San Francisco before she
left. Through the shipping receipts
we followed her. While my father was
at the main office of the Wells-Fargo
company in San Francisco, my mother
telephoned, asking about the sewing
her at the Hotel Bristol. He had sam
pies Of DIR. Shaw's handwriting, and
compared them with the name under

They were registered under the

Shaw's. My mother had one room and
DR.. Shaw another. My mother refused
to return. She did not say that DR..
Shaw was with her, but later DR.. Shaw
was seen going into the hotel.
soon after my mother moved again.
Through the sewing machine we traced
her to another hotel in Sutter street.

month ago. Since then we have not
seen her. Ny father has threatened to
kin Dr. Shaw. For that reason i'm
duced him to give up his position in
San Francisco and go to Sacramento
Even now he is willing to take my
mother back"

about 200 members, resolutions
were unanimously adopted ask
ing the trustees of the institu-
ton. TO reinstate DIR. c. c. Van
Liew. recently tried on charges
OF misconduct and later ousted

has been running high among
some of the older students since
the opening of the term, and at
noon today it was suggested that
testimonial be extended to him.
A meeting was called. for $3.50
o'clock and was held without the

lows:
We, the undersigned mem
bers. students of the Chico
state normal school, hereby
petition you, the board of
said institution, to reinstate
Or. c. C. Van Liew as presi-
dent of our alma mater.
The following are our rea-
sons
First-We firmly believe in
him.
Second-He has always
been more than a teacher to 3
us. q constant benefactor and
helper to his students, both
men and women.
Third-His general and
wise supervision of the school s
has been an example, an in
spiration TO all.
Fourth-He can best con-
tinue the policy that has been

which caused the Ballinger charges.
The Cunningham group of claims
has received great prominence because
of the attempt to hurry it to patent
and has overshadowed tho other groups
located by promoters. 1t was not al
legged in the Cunningham hearing that
there had been dummy locaters, or any
irregularity in the filings, but the
claims were held up because some of
