CHICAGO, May THAT Illinois is
on the verge of the most startling SER
les of disclosures in her political
history Is the belief here tonight fol-
lowing the adjournment of the special
grand jury investigating charges of
bribery in connection with the cleo
ton of VIM. Lorimer as U. S. sena-
tor and the alleged distribution Of a
legislative Jack pot"
Following the announcement that
representative Mitchell S. Link, a
democratic legislator who voted for
Lorimer, had made full confession
offlcials of the states attorneys Of
lice declared the stampede has Just
begun and that before many days,
there will be rush of confessed
brlbe takers to make a clean breast
OF 1t and thus secure immunity. So
confident is States Attorney Wayman
that more confessions are in prospect
that he has held the grand jury over
until next week and may hold it still
longer.
Representative Links confession
was the third that has been made to
the special grand jury this week.
1t followed Links Indictment on the
charge of perjury, after he had sworn
| that he received no money either for
voting for Senator Lorimer or outsof
any legislative lack pot as had been
charged by Representative c. A.
White and H. ]. C. Beckemeyr in
earlier confessions. The prompt re-
turn OF the perjury Indictment is be-
lieved to have frightened Link who
asked to confess before the grand
jury early today. The perjury in
dictment was recalled at once.
The states attorney declared to-
night that Links confession had cor
roborated in detail the confession of
Representative White.
Link admits that he received $1,000
at one time and $500 at another for
his vote in the legislature said Way
man. Further than this, cannot
say what the confession contained.
Before the grand jury adjourned for
the day, late this afternoon. Repre-
sentatives Robt. Wilson, JOS S. Clark
and VIM. C. Blair were also examin-
ed. Neither Representatives Lee
O'Neill Browne minority leader OF
the house, indicted on charge of brib-
cry, or Robert e. Wilson, indicted on
charge of perjury, would discuss their
cases tonight. Both furnished bonds
and were released.
Senator Lorimer may have to give
up his seat in the senate, was re-
mark heard in many quarters this
evening following the announcement
of Links confession. Friends of the
senator, however. declared Lorimer
would certainly await the outcome OF
the pending trials, and Lorimer him
self when asked if he contemplated
resigning from the senate, said, Il
have no such intentions"
1t is likely that Representatives
Browne and Wilson will go on trial
within 30 days.

at Springfield will begin it's investi-

MAYBE THE CATS
GOT HIS TONGUE
Warren Garst, Running for a State
Office, Does Not Say Anything
About State
Issues.
rs PAINFULLY QUIET
carroIPs Administration is Unassail-
able and No One Knows it
Better than the OPP
position.
Especial to The Gate CITY. /

DIES MONIES, May From all
over the state comes the query: Why
doesn't Warren Garst gay something
relative to states issues inasmr h as
ne is running for state office and on
state ticket The game of political
chameleon has run out is the claim
which the voters are making and the
demand is being heard everywhere for
some definite statement as to his
position on stc tie affairs.
Governor Carroll frankly states that
he stands for better roads, better laws
regulating telephone and telegraph
companies and for revising of laws
relating to public utilities. for further
steps toward conservation What has
Garst said he stanus for? He has
been painfully quiet aIong those lines.
He has lodged the question by allud-
ing to the records of others and the
progress others have made.
The reasons for such silence is ap-
parent. Governor Carroll's admins
tration is unassailable and no one
knows it better that the candidate op-
posing him and the men who are con-
Quoting his campaign. They know
that Governor Carroll has reduced the
state tax levy during his administra-
ton. They know that there Is today
in the state treasury greater sur
plus than has been known in recent
year. They know that by careful,
economical administration he has been
able to create a balance Of a million
and quarter. They know that he has
investigated and driven graft from the
state house and none know that fact
better than the very men who are aid
ing in the management of the Garst
campaign.
The opponents of Governor Carroll
know that the candidacy of Warren
Garst is political persecution of an
able and efficient executive and a
move contrary to po..tical precedent.
They know that If they went before
the people with a comparison of the
records of Governor Carroll and War
rem Garst there would be but little
lCiL4 1Ot IllC ldltCi to upOu. lie
Garst candidacy has been popularity
dubbed campaign of revenge for the
Kidding of the state house Of officials
whose records demanded executive
action.
The Garst candidacy is not meeting
with the support of the fairminded
progressives The situation through.
out the state is best described by an
interview with George Pencil of
of Atlantic who is known as radical
progressive. Mr.. Pencil said while
in this city last week.
Il am personality satisfied that
Webb Byers, Smith Brookhart, Judge
Prouty and a number o. ccner pro-
gressive lecders opposed the candida
cy of Garst. 1t will hurt our causes
more than it will help. / know of hun

HIGH PRIEST ARRESTED
Pierre Bernard Routed Out Of His
Den Of Vice and is Locked up
Awaiting His
Trial.

lGate City Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, May 7.-When Mag
lstrate Breen committed Pierre Ber-
nard, alias Peter Coon. alias The
Loving Tantrik Guru'' to the Tombs
this afternoon in default of $4,000
TO await the action of the grand jury
ne closed the first chapter of one of
the most spectacular exposures of
pseudo religious cults ever aired in a
New York police court. The charge
against Bernard is the abduction of
ls year old Zella Hopp, Harlem girl
OF highly respectable family.
By his own admission Bernard is
shown to be leader of a cult Of
oriental origin based largely upon the
teachings of the Hindu order of
Iantrlks, code of which has long
been in India and whose presence in
the United States would, it is whis-
pered, strike at the root of the ma
ton. How wide the teachings Of this
cult are in this country are not
known, but facts have been presented
which indicate the existence of
branches of the order in many large
cities.
The testimony which prompted
Magistrate Breen to hold Bernard to
the charge of abduction as laid out in
the complaint, was wrung from Miss
Hopp and Miss Gertrude Leo of Seat
tie, Wash, another of Bernard's al
legged victims, after three days of
prolonged examinations and cross ex-
aminations and many painful court
room scenes. So vile was much
of the evidence, that the magistrate
decided at the outset to hold the
hearings in chambers.
! Miss Leo related that she met
Bernard in Seattle through a mutual
friend. Bernard proved an interesting
talker and his tale of the marvellous
physical, mental and spiritual bene-
1 iits to be derived from conversion to
his faith induced the girl to come
/ to New York and enter his Tantrik
sanctrum. Miss Leo came to New
/ York. The day she arrived Bernard
took her to his sanitary on 74th
street and Initiated her to the mys-
teries of the cult. He told her she
was picked out for the nautch. or
/ sacred girl, and that as such. she
should be his. the high priest Tan
I trik's wife, union which, he declar-
ed, was the highest form of marriage,
! though illegal.
She was not allowed to tell in the
preliminary hearing the details of
what took place at some of the pas
sion nights" as the special Tantrik
evenings We're called, but enough was
told to indicate that group of from
ten to twenty men and women of ex-
+ cellent families met on these evenings
and practiced strange rites. Miss
Leo testified that Bernard, or "Oom
! the Ominpotent'' as he was called on
such occasions, taught his disciples
that there was no moral or religious
law to prevent their worshipping sex
in couples.
Bernard, through his attorney, Of
fered no defense.
He pleaded to have the bail re-
duced. Magistrate Breen in refusing
the request, said there is enough
evidence here to warrant my holding
/ the defendant on most shameful
/ charge. The details are most hid
eous and revolving and l shall not re-
duce the bail on it,

l0dtC Why i>SdsCu w liz oNhNtN
LONDON, May Tin the few hours
intervening between the death of Ed
ward VII and the administration OF
tue oath which formally made George
ruler of England and tie English
empire, this afternoon, British love of
fair play triumphed over the political
passions and bridged a national crisis.
For the time, at least, King George
will not be forced to solve the mo-
mentous and vital problem resulting
/ from the struggle of the Liberal party
to overthrow the house of lords. When
! he took his oath Of ofricr soday it was
with the knowledge that the first men
of his nation had. for the sake Of
smoothing the new path he is about
sto lead, laid aside the struggle on
hich their future hinges. That this
sSAyidence of their desire to aid him
moved the newly made monarch more
IAN any one incident, excepting the
4ptual death of his father, was un-
deniabla.
The agreement of the nations two
gEeat factions upon tentative peace
proposal which practically means the
deferring for year at least the crisis
which If preclpitated now might rock
the throne itself was an event of this
momentous day second only to the
actual enthroning of new king.
The move served to break the tense
situation and the stunned feeling Of
the nation following the rapidly NOV.

King George may fail. and few expect
him to add to the record of the house

but that is matter of the future. 1t
is sufficient that in his speech today
the new ruler touched the heart
strings OF his countrymen
Under the guidance of Cod, ! will
endeavor to maintain the high stand
ard OF the English court and fulfill to

The simple speech of the man who
today picked up the fallen scepter of
an empire, spoken in voice choked
with real emotion, struck responsive
chord.
Skeptical statesmen were moved by
the sincerity OF purpose and the I'M
disguised earnestness OF the king and
We're won by it. Publication Of the
Kings speech tonight has won the
favor OF the masses, and the general
belief Is that any faults of the new
monarch will be charYble to mis-.

of the heart.
To say that skepticism of the abili.
