POLITICAL BATTLE

SENATOR LORIMER

Holds Private Conference With
Alleged Corruptionist, Map

fishes Letters.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 2.--The fore
casted big political battle, as a result
OF the charges of Representative
Charles A. White that he had been
bribed to vote for william Lorimer for
tinted states Senator began to-day.
Following a second conference with
States Attorney wayman, Represen-
tRtive White was called before a spe-
cial grand jury to tell his story. White
was expected to fully explain his
charges that he received $1,000 to
vote for Lorimer and $500 from the
alleged legislative Jack pot"
Senator Lorimer and Representa-
tiyes Lee ONen Browne and Robert
E. Wilson, the three men directly in
volved by White. are prepared to
make a vigorous fight. Messrs- Lori
mer and Browne held conference.
which Senator Lorimer said was of a
private nature. while Mr.. Browne
stated that he and Mr.. Lortmer would
make their defense when the proper
time comes
The Chicago Tribune, which first
published Whites charges. to-day
printed a statement by State Senator
Albert T.. isely. of Newton, H. in
which he alleged that one member of
the Legislature told him he had been
offered $1,000 to vote for L.orimer tor
Senator, but refused. Iseiy refused to
name his informant
The Tribune also published a num-
Der of letters alleged to have been
addressed to Representative White by
Representatives Browne and Wilson.
In branding Whites charges false,
both Browne and Wilson declared
their acquaintance with White was
casual"
The letters alleged to have been
written by Browne called White
Friend Charley" Friend White.
"Oid Man" and "Old Pal"
offered Bank Stock.
The Tribune also alleged that White
has In hts possession a letter Offering
him stock in Senator I.orimer's new
bank, and stating THAI, u block of
gtcck has been held out for the sena~
tors friends. A letter alleged to l,aya
been written by Browne on June l.,
1903. tells White how to get railroad
transportation from the Alton, hi
nots Central and Wabash Railroad
Companies and the Pullman COMPANY
A further statement by White as to
his alleged relations with Browne -
also published In the Tribune. He
tells of several Lake trips taken nv
himself and Browne. In which he al
leges the latter spent money lav.sh;y
According II the statement. White
asked Browne to get him job. and
Browne got him one In the City Hall,
through Senator Lorfmer, which White
refused TO accept The narrative also
contains this statement:
Il could not say how much money
was paid into the jack pot but was
told by one OF the old members that
II was upwards of 100000, outside
Of the senatorial deal"
II is unlikely that a special SEES
sion OF the Legislature will he calta,i
to investigate the White charges. Gov
ernor Dtneen and Attorney General
Stead have conferred and agreed such
a sssion is not necessary. The Cover
nor believes the matter should he
probed through the grand Iurles AZ
Chicago and Springfield.

MANY YEARS OF SERVICE
Third to Hold Chair of Moral
Philosophy Since Founding
of Institution.
cHARLoTTEsvIILE. VA. May

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, May 3.
The condition of Professor Noah X
Davis, at his home on West Main
street, is critical. For some months
his debility has been increasing until
Ii is now so acute that combined with
his advanced age, now within a lew
days of eighty years, 1t points unmis-
takably to an early end.
Professor Davis is the third of three
distinguished scholars and philoso-
pliers who. UP to the time of his re-
tirement in 1905. held the chair OF
moral philosophy In the University of
Virginia from it's inauguration in
1925, a period OF eighty years. He
was the first of the scholars of that
Institution to be retired on the Car
negis foundation for the encourage
ment of teaching. a distinction we'll
deserved after SO many years OF fruit
fuI labor In which he won eminence
as teacher, preacher and author.
His latter years have been quietly
spent. cheered and heartened by the
esteem and veneratjon oil many friends
and former students. Ills wife and
children are with him now, and every
thing that watchful affection can find
TO do is done for his comfort.
