Confession VIII Be Repeated in Chi
cago.-Sprinefieid Grand Jury
to Take Hand.

CHICAGO, May 2.--Chas. A. White
Democratic Representative in the ILL
nois Legislature, has confessed that
he accepted $4,000 for voting for, VIII
liam Lorimer for the United States
Senate and declares he took the bribe
in order that he might expose the ras-
cality of the Illinois lawmakers.
White says he was given $1,000 in
greenbacks by Lee Browne, the Dem
ocratic leader, whom he met at the
Griggs house in Chicago. At that
time, White claims, Browne remarked
that he could give White about as
much more at later date, and sub.
sequently, when the session closed,
White received 5000, his share of the
"jackpot." RERj
States Attorney Wayman took Rep
resentative Chas. A. White, of O'Fal-
Ion, before the special grand jury to
repeat his confession of alleging that
he received bribe of $1,000 for voting
for William Lorimer for United States
Senator and later 5000 as his share in
Jackpot" or general legislative cor
-ruption fund.
The public prosecutor intimates also
that in the near future the down-state
Legislators mentioned by White in his
charges will appear before the special
inquisitorial body.
The legislative bribery scandal will
haaeft the right of way and when the
special grand jury gets through with
It's work Whites astounding story will

The inquiry will not be confined to
Cook County alone, for in Sangamon
County the regular grand jury con
venes at Springfield and States At
torney Edmund Burke declares that II
will make an exhaustive inquiry into
the corrupt deals alleged by White to
have been transacted at the capital.
Lee O'Neill Browne, Of Ottawa
Democratic leader at Springfield, and
Senator Lorimer, both emphatically
deny the use of bribe.

The Mark of the Hand.

When the hand touches anything ii
leaves upon the object touched rep
resentation of that part which came in
contact with the object. This impress
sion is not visible to the eye. 1t is
made by the acid of moisture exuded
from the skin. If you place the palm
of your hand fiat on u sheet of blank
paper you may not see the faintest
trace of the hand, and many people
will be angry at the suggestion that
there is any exudation-their hands are
perfectly dry; they do not suffer from
perspiration. Nevertheless If a metal
plate covered with certain chemical
preparation be passed over the paper
the representation of the hand becomes
visible in great detail.

sons ignorant Of the situation. These
spectators are reported promising
preference rights to clients filing ap-
plications to purchase lands from the
railroad company involved, in case of
judgments favorable to the United
States, thus perpetrating frauds upon
such persons. 1t is important to Ore
gon that there be an early termina-
tion of the suits because of the great
acreage involved, as we'll as for the
protection of persons now being I'M
posed upon by spectators, and as the
suits have not been prosecuted with

is necessary. The resolution was re.

had much to do with the fact that many

Crop of 1912.
Sugar Factory.

THE average cane ground per hour
for the two mills was 96l2 tons. as
against l0I.34 tons in 1908. This diff
ference in the amount of cane ground
per hour is due to the cane having
been tougher and more difficult to mill
than In 1908.
1.-The apparent results of manufac-
ture Were not as good for the crop of
1909 as for 1908, the total losses being
1880 per cent, as against 12.943 per
cent. The actual results, however, were
better, as is proven by the fact that in
1909 1921 pounds of sugar per ton of
cane was recovered, as against 29O.2
pounds for the crop of 1908. The differ.
ence IN percentage losses is result of
milling much richer and more resist
ant cane under similar nee hanical con-
ditions.''
