Chicago, Oct. THE Lorimer sena-
torial investigating committee held
an executive session and it is reported
discussed the advisability of summon
ing Lorimer to testify in connection
with the bribery involved in his cleo
ton. Some members opposed this
and when the meeting adjourned there
was no indication that they had reach
ed an agreement. State Senator
Browne testified today and denied that
he had bribed any one in the interests
or Lorimer or anyone else. The in
vestigation will probably end late to-
day or tomorrow unless Lorimer and
Governor Deneen are summoned.
Brown testified that Representative
Wilson was a physical wreck and
nearly a mental one also, as the result
OF excessive worry over the bribery
charges. Wilson is in a hospital at
Milwaukee.

day by the foreign diplomatic corps
stationed here. Headed by Sir Fran
els Villiers, Of Great Britain. the
various ministers called upon pro-
visional Foreign Minister DR.. Macha-
do, rendered their respects, and re-
ceived assurances that all treaties
and rights of foreigners. in Portugal
will be protected under the new ad-
ministration.
The United Press today obtained the
first connected story concerning the
flight of King Manuel. When the
palace began to crumble under the
bombardment, the king left by a se-
cret exit, went to Mafra where his
queen mother Amelie joined him.
Then with the Duke of Oporto, his
uncle, who remained hidden until
Thursday, he boarded the royal yacht
and sailed to Cintra, where the king
and his mother boarded a vessel and
sailed for Gibraltar where they are
the guests of the English government
today. Lisbon dispatches report l.
600 killed in the various clashes ar
ound Lisbon since the outbreak.
Manuel is reported to have said he
would not attempt to regain the
throne, but will probably live in
France. 1t is believed England will
attempt to grab some or 1ne Portu-
guese colonies including the Cape
Verde Islands. and Portuguese East
Africa and Chinese possessions Ger
many is expected to resist the English
plans.

We're fired in the restaurant. Faint
ing women were carried out during

lice have gathered, 1t seems that two
girls had a difference which they
proceeded to fight out, with the result
that general miXup ensued.

DESERTED CAMP MAY BE
CLEW TO DYNAMITERS

San Francisco, Oct. THE remains
of n campfire and a cache of provis-
ions, discovered at Red Rock in the
bay off San Quentin prison, is be-
lieved by the police to have an inn
portant bearing on the Los Angeles
dynamiting. 1t is believed the camp
outfit was left by the three men who
probably secured the powder from
the Giant powder works and camped
at the rock while they changed the
name of the launch from Peerless to
Pastime and then went to Martinez
where the explosives were loaded on
the train.

Hire Air Camera Man.

Walla Walla, Wash.-After having
tried for several years to get a pano-
rama picture of Walla Walla, the
Commercial club will now engage the
services of r. ]. Waters, aerial pho
tographer, who from a height any
where up to 5000 feet. will take the
picture.
1t is on account Of the trees of this
city that there is so much difficulty
in photographing it, ana. also because
there are no high hills. One effort to
make a panoromis view of the city
showed only an abandoned railroad
station, few old residences and a
barrier of trees, beyond which the
sye could not reach.
1t Is hoped that the aerial artist
will be able to get good picture of
the city. showing the beautiful trees
and yet giving an idea of the business
and residence portions of the town.

"Bowerman's recent declaration rel
ative to his love and loyalty for the

'deathbed confession and 1 have heard

cause his previous record so glaringly

Manuel Is Cheerful.

Gibraltar, Oct. king Manuel to-
day declared he would remain in Glib
raltar until the trouble had passed
over in Portugal. The deposed ruler
is cheerful and was particularly
pleased when the American cruiser
DesMoines came into port flying the
Portuguese flag and fired the royal
salute. The British cruisers Minerva
and Newcastle were ordered to pro-
ceed to Oporto and Lisbon. This is
construed to mean that England and
the United States fear more trouble
in the new republic.
