BLAIR GOES SOUTH
WITH TOURISTS
On Cruise to Cumberland River and
Was Expected to Arrive at
Burlington Last Night.

Burlington Gazette: The steamer
Helen Blair win arrive at Burlington
this evening at 10:30 o'clock on her
cruise south to the Cumberland river.
She has about fifty tourists aboard
and over two weeks will be devoted
to the trip. With the bad weather be-
hind them, the party expect to have
a most enjoyable time
The large barge which Captain
Blair recently bought when he pur-
chased the Morning Star is now at
Keokuk. 1t will be brought to Bur-
ligton by the Black Hawk and the Co
lumbia will take it to Rock Island. 1t
is reported that perhaps Captain Blair
will fit it up as a passenger barge for
excursions, but the steamboat men say
he has no such intentions. All the
parties who wished to engage the
Morning Star for excursions this sum
mer are disappointed as the boat will
not be ready for three months. EXten
made on her.
According to letters from Captain
Blair it is not likely that the Morning
Star will ever be used for excursion
business. 1t looks as if he has plans
to extend the short line packet
business on the river. The letter
says:
THE Morning Star has come home
for extensive alterations and improve
ments that will take three months
time and do not think she will en-
gage in the excursion business at all
after finished"

CHICAGO, April 30.--Illinois politi
cal foun iations are still shaking
tonight ollowing the publication
here of charges by me | n
of the state legislature that le
was paid $1,000 to vote and
VIM. Lorimer for senator in May 1909
and that there was in existence an
additional "slush fund.- The charges
stirred national as well as stote poll
tical ceniers and tonight there is a
probability not only of grand jury
action but of legislative and congress
sionai also Of all inquiry by the state
legislature and the upper house of con-
gress.
States Attorney Wayman announced
tonight that Chas. A. White, of
OFallon, Illinois who entered the
charges, had come quietly to Chicago
and confe-~ed secretly with tho pub
lie prosecutor with a view OF advis-
ing that official whether criminal pl os-
cution were justifi ID.
That the whole matter will be laid
before a special grand jury which con-
venes Monday seems certain though
the states attorney declined to commit
himself on this point tonight. He ad
stated earlier in the day, however that
I the grand jury would be asked 20 act
should his conference with White ia
lsdictate that the latter's charges could
be coaroborated
Simulteously Governor Deneen at
Springfie was equally noncommittal
when asked tonight if he would cav
the general assembly in extraordinary
! session to inquire into the charges.
The governor stated however, that
| the and Attorney General Stead we're
investigating and it is believed that
the legislators i'll be called to meet
Meanwhile, the sensation lovers OF
Chicago enjovcd one of the greatest
days of their lives. The White charges
| alleged that Leo Oneill Browne

and Representative Robt. E. Wilson

/ alleged he received in return for his

another De- ocrat, paid him, in 81
Louis hotel 5000 as his share o. the
alleged "slush fund.- he declared was
distributed at the close of the session
at which Lorimer was chosen senator
Following swiftly on the charges
came recriminations from the accused
men and their friends. Senator Lol i
mer characterized the White charges
as lie while representative Browne
came to Chicago and issued re hot
statement denouncing Whites charge
as false from start to finish and brand
1 ing White himse'f as irress.nsibie
Representative Wilson issued 8

years was said then. Then 1t was

The speaker sketched the early his

voted much of his speech to the storm
of criticism with which Grant was
assailed and his triumph over his
enemies
His critics could find no military

man, while he was fighting great bat
ties about which after each and every

the cheers of approval that came from
the great heart of the people.

a formal breakfast at the Ansley

death OF Mckinley, an auto ride about

Chamber of Commerce, luncheon at
the Buffalo club. followed by recep-
ton, another reception to Yale alumni
at the University club, and trip
through the state cancer laboratory,
were a few of the things that kept Taft
and Knox busy.
The president declared he had urged
Hughes to run again when he sand
wiched into his crowded program an
irnpromptu interview WITH the newspa-
per men. He said the governor, how
ever, had made up his mind not to run,
and 1t was impossible to alter his de-
termination.
When the president discovered this,
he offered Hughes the supreme court
justiceship. The presidents attitude
was taken to mean that he distrusted

and that he believed Hughes would
have been able TO swing the state.
The income tax situation loomed up

AT the close of the luncheon, the
president made an informal address,
in which he touched on the second

Secretary Knox, in his address went
after the newspapers in no uncertain
terms and apologized to the Ad club
members for having mistaken them
for newspaper writer's.
Referring to the pure food laws, .
Knox said. "it is my belief that people,

undiluted news as they are to partake

true If that dilution springs from NAL
