MINE MANAGER
IS REPORTED
DEAD AT RENO
TELEGRAM ANNOUNCES SUDDEN
DEATH OF ED HOFFMAN
IN RENO.

ELY. New, jan. 26.-Ed Hoff-
man, mine manager for the Ely
Central, who was well known in
Ely because of his connection with
the property. and who left here last
Tuesday on business mission in
connection with mining interests at
Rawhide and Bovard, died of pneu
monia at the Reno general hospital
ing to telegram received here
by Joseph Jordan, this morning.
Death was entirely unexpected, it
not having been known by his
friends in Ely that he was i'll. The
news comes as distinct shock to
his friends and associates here, who
believed that Mr.. Hoffman was in
the best of health.
Ed Hoffman was very well known
in Ely and in fact throughout Ne
vada and Utah He was between So
and 40 years OF age and spent
a number of years in the big Utah
copper camp, Bingham While in
Utah he had in charge, as superin-
tendent of the Carisa mine, and
was also actively engaged in various
Tintic properties.
Mr.. Hoffman came to Nevada
about four years ago and was
superintendent of the Manhattan
mine for some time. He was on
the staff of George Graham Rice,
the promoter, as supervising field
engineer, and loked after many
of the properties in which Rice was
interested. as promoter.
From Manhattan Mr.. Hoffman
went to Fairyiew where he han
died number of properties. and
then went to Rawhide and Bo-
ward
At Rawhide he was superintend-
ent of the Rawhide Coalition and
other Rice properties in that Sec
ton
Mr.. Hoffman was an experienced
mining man and had been in many
positions of responsibility and trust
Mrs. Hoffman came here from
Reno ten days ago to visit with
her husband, and is at the North
ern hotel at this time. Until late
this afternoon she had not been in
formed of her bereavement.
A peculiarly distressing feature
of Mr.. Hoffman's death was the faci
that he was expected by Mrs. Hoff
man to return to Ely tonight OF
tomorrow night at the latest.
When Mr. Hoffman left here las
Tuesday he had recovered com
pletely, it was thought, from tht
slight indisposition which had af
fected him for few days prior tC
his departure.
No arrangements have yet heer
made for the funeral services.

[Associated Pressl

G PRINGFIELD, H., May 2S.-Sen-
ator D. w. Holtslaw of Iuka, ILL.,,
~ broke down before the Sangamon
grand jury, and in Voluminous con-
fession late today said he had been
paid $25OO to vote for William Lorimer
for United States senator, and had re-
ceived $500 out of a general Jackpot"
Later Otto Freir, an agent OF the
Ford-Johnson Furniture company at
the time the legislative furniture deal
was put through, is declared to have
made a second confession to States At
torney Burke duplicating Senator
Holtslaw and other members OF tne
legislative committee.
Senator Holtslaw's confession regard
ing the furniture deal was corroborated
before the grand jury by Otto Freier,
who, as agent for the Ford-J ohnson
Furniture company of Chicago, OBJ
tained the furniture contract.
The two confessions regarding the
furniture contract resulted in two ad-
ditional indictments on conspiracy
charges. These were:
State Senator S. c. Pemberton, Re
publican, of Oakland, ILL.,, and Repre-
sentative Joseph S. Clark, Democrat,
OF Vandalia, Ill.
A capias was at once issued for
Broderick and a bench warrant issued
for his arrest. Capiases and bench
warrants were issue dlfnmediately for
Senator Pemberton and Representative
Clark on The conspiracy charges IN con-
nection with the furniture contract.
Although an indictment charging
conspiracy was returned against Holt
slaw. it was quashed and immunity for
Holtslaw was ordered by Judge j. "A.
Creighton.
Holtslaw later repeated his conversa-
ton to the Associated Press. He told
in detail of the meeting he had with
Senator Broderick in Chicago, in front
of the ST. Nicholas hotel in this city,
the day before Lorimer was elected
senator. After some desultory CONVEX
sation, Holtslaw said, Broderick asked
him if he would vote for Lorimer and
he replied that it was possible, since
some of his Democratic constituents
had told him sucn move would help
toward disrupting the Republican party
in the state.
Senator Holtslaw, in his confession,
said the Lorimer bribe money was
handed to him by State Senator John
Broderick of Chicago, one of the lead
ing Democrats of the upper legislative
body and prominent in Chicago poll
tics Holtslaw is said to have con-
fessed on advice of his attorney after
being indicted yesterday on charge
OF perjury IN connection Win llo lul
niture transaction He is said to have
been promised immunity, and returned
Immediately after his confession to his
home at Iuka.
Boltslaw's confession. coming imme-
diately after the speech of Lorimer in
washington, created the greatest SEN
sation of the senatorial bribery scandal.
Senator Holtslaw has already ad-
mitted that he had been promised $500
in connection with the letting of the
contract for desks and chairs in the
assembly hall. which contract has been
under investigation by the grand jury

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, May 28.-
Although the Madriz forces gained
victory yesterday over the troops OF
Gen. Estrada and captured Bluefields

also they were repulsed with small loss.
Estradas losses in the whole engage
ment are reported at ten. Prisoners

JULIA WARD HOWE
PROUD OF PICTURE
Says Portrait Painted by Son-in-
Law Looks More Like Her
Than She Does

BOSTON, May 2S.-"I see by the pa
pers," said Julia Ward Howe at her
Beacon street residence today, that
am looking we'll Now, don't see how
they could know that unless they have
been to New York and seen my picture
in the art gallery there.
THAT painting" she added, with a
characteristic twinkle in her eyes,
''looks more like me than I do.'
The venerable author is proud of the
portrait made of her by her son-in-law,
John Elliott. "This likeness is as 1
want to be known, and 1 want it to be
considered Official" she added.
Yesterday Mrs. Howe was 81 years
DID, and received not only the congrat-
ulations of Boston but of the United
States. Her closest friends called on
her in person, while dignitaries of
church and state from all parts of the
country paid their respects by telegraph
or letter.
Today she would admit of no fatigue,
despite her social activity of yesterday.
"Do you know, L would like to have
a birthday every day." she said with
enthusiasm, for my friends would then
have to call on me much oftener. The
increasing years of my life do not bring
regret, for really do not think l feel
my age"
Apparently she does not, either men
tally or physically.
Julia Ward Howe is one of the most
widely known and revered figures in
public life. AS a writer of poetry and
prose and student of political indus
trial and humanitarian problems she
stands among women of all times a
peer.
No gathering of Importance in the
Bay State outside the lines of political
campaigns ever fails to invite her to
speak from its platform, though she
rarely accepts now. While she is Wig
orous for her years, she finds it tax
to make herself heard. Her voice has
lost much of it's strength in the past
decade, and she now devotes herself
almost exclusively to her literary work.

LOR|MER DEFENDS
SELF IN SENATE
At Close of TWo-Hour Speech llIi-
noiS Statesman Asks for
an Investigation

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-For just
two hours today Senator William Lori
mer of Illinois stood in the senate, and
in vigorous language denounced as un-
true the charges of bribery made
against him in connection with his cleo
tion to the senate.
On leaving the chamber at the con-
clusion Of his speech Mr.. Lorimer hur-
riedly put his affairs in order and
caught late train for Chicago.
In his address Lorimer made emphat-
ic denial of corruption, and sought to
turn the accusation of wrongdoing on
the Chicago Tribune, in which the
charges were first published.
The speech was devoted to a review
of Chicago and Illinois politics for the
last twenty-five years He charged the
Tribune with sinister motives in its
attacks, and saying it had been fight
ing him ever since 1884, charged that II
was inspired by it's failure to control
his course as public man.
Mr.. Lorimer gave many particulars
concerning his senatorial election, say
ing that after persuading him to enter
the race Gov. Deneen had deserted him
and sought to turn against him those
whose support he had formerly pro-
cured for him.
At the close Of his speech Mr.. Lori
mer offered a resolution directing that
an inquiry into the charges be made by
the committe on privileges and cleo
itonS
Under the rules of the senate, the
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses, to consider
the question of cost. In case of a ia
vorable report from the committee, of
which there is no doubt, the resolution
will go to the committee on elections
for consideration of the merits of the
matter. On the report of this commit
tee the senate's action will largely de-

CALLS MARRIAGE ILLEGAL;
PROTESTS STONER ESTATE
Mrs. Mcconnell Says Mrs. Dia-
mond Not Stoner'S Wife

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2s.-Mrs
Mary E. S. Mcconnell today filed a pc
tition seeking to have revoked letters
of administration issued last June to
Mrs. Emma ]. Diamond on the estate
of her late husband, George H. StoVer,
at Upland, and in it recites that Mrs
Diamond was not the wife of the de-
ceased, no marriage license having been
issued nor any valid marriage cere-
mony performed.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Diamond, as ad-
ministrator of the Stover estate,
brought suit to have Mrs. Mcconnell
surrender the estate, which consists of
a dwelling and land. Mrs. Diamond
also asked for judgment against Mrs.
Mcconnell covering the rental of the
property while the latter has been in
her possession.
Attorney L. M. Sprecher, who repre-
sents Mrs. Diamond, declares that the
charges contained in Mrs. McConnelFs S
petition are unfounded, and intimates
that civil action may be taken to reeoV-
er damages. He says Mrs. Diamond
can prove a legal marriage to Slower.

DENEEN GIVES HISTORY
OF ELECTION OF LORIMER
Governor Says Senator'S Speech
Didn't Touch Bribery Charge

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 28.-Gover-
nor Deneen today issued a statement in
reference to the speech today in the
senate in which he was attacked by
Senator Lorimer He said in part:
while reports of Senator LOrimer's
speech obtained by me have been mea-
ger, l understand that he charges l
entered into a conspiracy with the
Chicago Tribune to have published the
confession of Representative White.
"Mr. Whites confession was in type
and was on the way to the press when
l arrived at the Tribune office, on in
Vitation of the editor, about midnight
of the day before the story was pub
lished. This was the first intimation L
received that White had confessed or
was in any way implicated in charges
of bribery.
Regarding the deadlock over the
senatorship, Mr.. Lorimer Informed me
that his friends would, under no cir
cumstances, vote for Senator Hopkins,
and it was impossible to elect a senator
by Republican votes, without the votes
of his friends. 1 stated that they
should go to a Republican caucus to
select candidate who could secure the
majority Of the caucus and thereafter,
by the full vote of the party, his cleo
ton to the senatorship.
"Mr. Lorimer was opposed to the plan
of nominating by caucus. Later | was
informed by him and his friends that l
could be elected senator. l refused
absolutely to consider It.
Shortly before Senator Lorimer was
elected and after the deadlock had
dragged on for months, it became APP
parent that he was a candidate A
number of my friends. whom he mem
tions in his speech, called upon me
and I advised them strongly against
voting for him, even though he could
get a majority of the Republicans to
aid the Democrats in electing him. All
of these facts were published as the
contest went on and were at that time
familiar to the public.
"While l am surprised at the char
acter of the statements made by SEN
ator Lorimer, 1 am at a loss to know
what possible relations they bear to
the charge now under Investigation
that his election to the United states
senate was procured by means of brib-
cry"

MANY ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS
INVOLVED, BELIEVES BURKE

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 2S.-State's
Attorney Burke believes the confess
sion of Senator Holtslaw and the other
evidence before the grand jury today
opens several new avenues for inves-
tigation which will probably involve
several members of the house and SEN
ate, and he would not be surprised to
see a number of applications for i'm
munity bath tickets.
Three big gates tc the field of cor
ruption are thrown open:
One-The jackpot.
Two-Furniture deal
Three-Payment of money for votes
for Senator Lorimer.
Nothing is likely to develop, how
ever, before the grand jury convenes
next Tuesday, when more sensational
evidence is expected.
Under Illinois statutes the crime of
conspiracy to commit a felony is pun
ishable by a term in the penitentiary
for from one to five years or fine not
to exceed $4,000, or both. The penalty
for bribery is confinement in the peni-
tentiary for from one to five years.
