HARD POUNDING FOR
GLIDDEN TOURISTS
Find Road Between Louisville and
Nashville Rough-WilI Reach
Alabama Tonight.

Nashville, Tenn, June 16.-At 8
o'clock this morning the Glidden tour
lists left Nashville and at noon will
stop at Columbia, Tenn. The night
stop will be at Sheffield, Ala.
Old timers who have attended all
previous tours cannot recall a. day
when the going was as hard to negoti
ate as the 1913 miles yesterday between
this city and Louisville.
A number of the contesting cars
will receive penalties resulting from
the run.
The cars received a severe racking
yesterday which made much trouble
and brought number of the machines
into control late. The probabilities
are that the only cars which will re-
tain perfect scores are two Chalmers
and two Premiers, contestants for the
Glidden cup, and the three Molines
entered for the Chicago cup.

CHEAP FUNERAL TABOOED
State UndertaI1ers Decide to Remain
United and Fight.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16.-After the
stormiest session in the history of the
organization, the Illinois State Under
takers association decided last night
not to reorganize in two separate so
cieties. composed of the downstate

but to carry on a determined and unit
ed fight against institutions which were
preparing to insure cheap funerals in
this state.
For SO a year a concern recently
launched agrees to give a 500 funeral,
together with instructions in embalm-
ing. The undertakers will at once
start a campaign against the plan.
An address by Professor Z. S. Eek
els of Philadelphia on "Embalming. "

Monmouth, H., June 16.-The golden

First wreck Occurs.
The first wreck to occur on the
north line of the Rock Island South

result the construction engine. known
to the workmen along the line as 'the

junk The cause Of the demolition of
the engine was one Of the big steel
cars which the road has purchased to
handle the coal trade. 1t got loose at
the switch at Matherville and started
for Monmouth. The going was found
to be first class until after the power
station had been passed. when 1t en-
countered the innocent ''two-spot," and
sent pieces Of the faithful old engine
flying in every direction before it's mo-
mentum was checked.

Judge Decides to Admit
Evidence to Support
White.
ARGUMENT LENGTHY
Cross Questioners Make Little
Impression on Leading Brib-
cry Witness.

Chicago, June 1e.-Argument as to
the admissibility of the testimony OF
State Representatives Beckemeyer.
Link and Meyer in the Lee O'Neil
Browne trial was resumed today.
Their testimony is regarded as highly
important to the prosecution in CON
firming Whites confession.
Finally Admitted.
At the afternoon session judge Nc
Surely ruled the testimony Of Link,
Beckemeyer and Meyer is admissible.
Thus the most important legal point
OF the trial was decided in favor OF
the prosecution.
End Day I'm Argument.
Bitter controversy as to the admis-
sibility of the testimony of Represent
ative Myers OF Paris, Ill, Beckemeyer
of Carlyle, Ill, and Link of Mitchell.
Ill, was in full swing when the trial
of Lee O'Neil Browne, legislative mi,
nor1ty leader charged with bribery in
connection with the election of United
States Senator Lorimer, adjourned
yesterday.
The jury was excluded from the
room while arguments took place.
States Attorney Wayman insists that
the testimony of Myers, Beckemeyer
and Link is material TO the point at
issue, while the defense declares the
evidence is not admissible against
Browne
Vote Was Cheap
During the day former Representa-
tive White, who precipitated the bri-
berry scandal by "confessing" having
been paid $1,000 by Browne for his
vote for LOrimer, admitted, under cross
examination, he would as readily have
accepted So or $40 for his vote.
The names of Agnes Wood and Edith
Katherine Wood of st. Louis were
brought into the case yesterday. The
defense charges the girls, at Whites
request, had altered railroad passes
for him. The defense accused White
of boasting to Catherine Wood he
had something on Lorimer and that
he would get money out of the sena-
tor or his friends. White stoutly de
MED the boasts
PeddIed His Confession.
White testified that before going to
the Tribune with his confession" he
had offered the manuscript TO the
Ridgeway Publishing company, w. d.
Page & Co, both of New York. and
the McClurg Publishing company of
Chicago.
At the conclusion of Whites cross
examination, George w. Myers took
the witness stand. II was at this juno
ture that the defense objected to the
testimony of Myers, Link and Becke-
meyer and Myers was not permitted
to testify.

Officers OF Company Al
legged to Have Made
Millions.
HAD SOLD MUCH STOCK
Capitalized Far Beyond Actual
Value and Worth but Few
Cents Per Share.

New York, June 1e.-United States
postofice inspectors raided the hand
| some Broadway Offices of the United
Wireless Telegraph company yester-
day and caused the arrest OF Christie
pher c. Wilson, president Of the COM
pany; Samuel S. Bogart, first vice pres
ident, and William w. Tompkins,
president of the New York Selling
agency, which, officers Of the wireless
company say, was formerly their fiscal
agent, but has ceased to represent
them.
Got Millions, f. Charge.
Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently
gave out a long formal statement in
which he charges that, although the
company mas been running at loss,
the price of IS shares has been ad-
vanced by manipulation to fictitious
values and that individual officers of
the company have sold out their stock
to the general public at a profit esti-
mated at between Ave and ten NIL
lions, with other instances in proper
ton.
Spends Night I'm Jail.
Wilson was released in S25, 900 bail
and Bogart in $4,000 bail for appear
ances on July II, when a formal hear
ing will be held before a federal COM
missioner. Tompkins was arrested at
his farm near Mahopac Falls, N. Y,
and brought heresfor arraignment He
could not find the $4,000 bail required
and spent the night in the Tombs.
The complaint on which the war
rants were issued is drawn under the
federal criminal code, on Information
of Carter B. Keene, a postofice in
spector, who deposes that 1.-The grounds
of his belief are official investigations
made by him, information obtained by
him from the books of the said United
Wireless Telegraph company and the
inspection of letters and envelopes
sent by the postoffice establisflme
of the United States through the
United States mails
One Instance Cited.
The specific instance of alleged
fraudulent use of the mails is given as
the mailing of letter on March g.,
1910, to Michael O'Brien of Waterbury.
Conn
There are $4,000 shareholders OF
the company throughout the country
said Inspector Mayer in his statement,
many of whom have placed their
savings in the stock of the company
through false representations made by
its officers.
Places Value at 5000.
''The real assets of the company,
consisting of land stations, patents,
manufacturing plants and real estate
of ell kinds appear to be worth at 4
conservative estimate 100000, or an
actual worth of cents a share at par
value"
Two million shares have been is
sued at a par value of $40 share. but
the stock has recently been put up to
$50 a share This would make the
shares really worth $.O04 each.

striking conclusions of the investiga-
tors.
Laws Not Enforced.
Perhaps the greatest cause of the
advance in prices reads the report
of the investigating committee, sis the
failure to enforce the laws. There
are countries where bad laws are not
strictly enforced, but the United States
stands alone in its failure to enforce
it's good laws.
There are laws covering almost
every form of plundering, but owing
to the ignorance of the masses, the
Indifference of the wealthy and the
inactivity of the executive branch Of
