CUSTOMS CRUSADE KEPT UP
sMUGGLERs AND UNDERVALUERS
OF IMPORTS MUST SUFFER.
Wickersham Tells Congress What the
Governments Legal Depart
ment Has Been Doing.

Washington - In his annual report
sent to congress Monday, Attorney
General Wickersham shows that
more than $6,000,000 either has been
collected by the government or IS IN
volved in judgment cases against
firms and individuals for smuggling
and under-valuation Of imports. He
promises a continuance Of the lnves-
tigation now in progress and believes
more indictments for customs frauds
will follow
There have already been fifty-eight
convictions in the southern part OF
New York, says he, and at least
score more indictments will be found.
In this same connection the attorney
general asks congress to pass. a law
forbiddng revenue men from accept
ing perquisites from importers and
another law granting immunity to &C
cused persons who turn states evil
dence and assist the government in
the prosecution Of others. Il is also
demanded that heavier penalty be
placed upon the statute books for i'm
porting firms which refuse to show
their books upoa the request of the
collector of any port in the United
States. The present penalty is $500
fine
The encouragement briefly reviews
three of the most important cases
ever brought before the United States
Supreme Court, all of which are now
pending. They are theAsuits to dis
solve the Standard Oil Trust and the
American Tobacco company-the to
bacco trust"-and the suit to deter
mine the constitutionality Of the cor
poration tax law All these argu-
ments will be presented in January.
Mr.. Wickersham wants the salaries
of the federal judges raised and in
Inmates that the government could
do better work in the prosecution OF
trusts If higher fees were paid its at
torneys. He points out that corpora
tons are noted for the big sums they
pay their counsel.

Tribute to Painters Skill;

One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured. but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents basket Of
fruit on which a number of insects
have gathered. On pale yellow ap'
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeaVored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, for which
the work had to suffer"

An exchange calls attention to the
fact that while sermons were being
preached on tuberculosis in its baili'

phases of the white plague. There is
a trouble that the tuberculosis peo1

Is that the means for ventilation are
not provided, says the Columbus (O.(

OUELLS NEW MUT|NY
MARINES REBEL IN RIO JANElRO
AND ARE ALMOST ANNl-
HlLATED.
SEIZE A FORT IN THE BAY
Only Surrender When 200 or More Are
Killed and Wounded-Senate De-
clares 'seige-Scoutship Joins in
Seditious Movement.

Rio Janeiro-The soldiers at the
fortress on Cobra island revolted ETH
day night, captured the fortress and
withstood a bombardment lasting
from $50 Saturday morning until IL
o'clock at night. The rebels were al
most annihilated by the fire from the
land batteries and warships, losing
over 200 killed and wounded.
The scoutship Rio Grande do Sui
joined in the rising, but the mutlnous
sailors soon were subdued by their
officers and part of the local garri-
son that remained faithful.
The seditious movement, it is be-
lieved, has now been completely throt-
tied, but the senate, despite the OPP
position of Ruy Barbosa, the former
president of that body, voted to de-
clare a state of siege for 80 days.
The guns of the land batteries
were trained on the island, which lies
In the bay of Rio Janeiro, only short
distance from the city and opposite
the marine arsenal.
A heavy fire was directed against
the rebels, and this continued with
out cessation for five hours. Then a
white flag appeared, and it was be-
lieved that the rebels were ready to
surrender, but they asked only for an
armistice, probably for the purpose
Of removing the dead and injured.
Two land batteries and two loyal
warships took part in the lombard
ment and the artillery duel continued
with great violence for many hours.
The detonations of the big guns
caused the whole city to tremble.
Many persons were killed along the
shore and in adjoining streets.
The fight against the Rio Grande
do Sui lasted three hours, and among
the killed was one officer. Small
bands of rebels climbed into launches
and drew near the front of the Palacio
Cattete, but they were forced to re-
tire.

LOR|MER ACQUITTED.
SENATOR is CLEARED OF ERl-
Berry BY u. s. SENATE
PROBERS.
REPORT is MADE UNANIMOUS
Ii Now Goes to Full Committee and
Later to Upper House for Ratifica-
tton-AIIesations Are Unsustaned
by Testimony.

Notwithstanding subcommittee OF
he congressional committee on cleo
ton which investigated charges of bri-
berry in the election Of Senator William
Lorimer Monday unanimously voted
to report to the committee on cleo
tons that the charges were without
proof.
The committee took up the evil
dence III it's entirety at an executive
session. 1t canvassed the testimony,
weighed the evidence and the argu-
ments and took into consideration ali
of the facts that have been advanced
in connection with the charges con-
corning Lorimerss election and decid-
ed there had been shown no founda-
ton for the charges that bribery had
entered into the case in connection
with Mr.. Lorimer's election.
The motion finally was offered to
report to the full committee of the
senate that the charges had not been
proved. On this motion there was no
dissenting vote in the subcommittee.
Following this action the subcommit-
tees report will be prepared for the
full committee at once, and the re-
port will be sent to the senate within
a short time.
The charge that Senator Lorimer
had purchased his seat in the United
States senate was first made publicly
when the confession of Charles A.
White, a member of the Illinois leg1s-
lature from O'Fallon, was published
on April 80, 1910. The names of Rob
ert E. Wilson, Lee O'Neil Browne, H.
J. G. Beckemeyer and Michael Link
were mentioned as having been In
volved in the purchase of the sena-
torial toga White confessed that he
had been paid $1,000 for his Lorimer
vote by Lee O'Neil Browne, the mi
nority leader in Springfield. White
himself was a Democrat, and Sena-
tor Lorimer had been elected by a
combination of Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Immediately after the publication
Of the story all the legislators in
volved were summoned to the states
attorneys Office in Chicago. Under
a grilling examination lasting several
days and under the threats of prosecu-
ton on perjury charges, confessions
of the truth of Whites charges were
gotten from Link and Beckemeyer An
indictment was returned at once in
Cook county charging Lee O'Neil
Browne with bribery, and another in
dictment was returned in Sangamon
county carrying a similar charge
against State Senator John Frederick.
Robert E. Wilson was also indicted
for bribery and Joseph Clark Of Van
dalia was indicted on a charge Of per
jury, he having denied receiving any
portion of the money alleged to have
been paid him for the Lorimer vote.
The indictments against Broderick,
Wilson and Clark are still pending
in Cook and Sangamon counties.
Lee O'Neil Browne was tried twice
in the criminal court of Cook county.
The first time the jury disagreed and
the second jury returned verdict Of
not guilty.
