FUND IN SENATORIAL
BRIBERY CASE.
PEORIA MAN IS INVOLVED
Crane Jury Probing Perjury Charges
In Connection With Browne Trial
indict Former Aid of States Attor-
nsv-More indictments Expected.

/ Chicago.-A sensation was created
In the Lee O'Neil Browne trial
Wednesday when the name of Edward
Hull of Peoria was mentioned in o n
nection with an alleged request tele-
sraphed from Springfield for 100000
two days before the election of Sena-
tor Lorimer.
Charles A.. White, recalled by the
state in rebuttal, made the statement
concerning HUI and the 100000 fund.
White testified that the information
vas given him by William Rosssll, an
important witness for the defense.
He told Of meeting Rossell and of a
conversation they had in which White
asked Rossell where the money came
from hat is alleged to have been
used to bride legislators to vote for
Lorimer.
"RosseIl told me-" testified White,
that while in Springfield he had
heard of a telegram being sent to
Edward Hull of Peoria W. days be
fore the election of Senator Lorimer
requesting Hull to start at once for
Springfield with 100000"
Attorneys for the defense started
from their chairs at these words and
Il commotion in court followed.
Patrick J.. Kelley, suspended detec,
tive, former aid who turned against
States Attorney Wayman, was in
dicted on a charge of perjury by the
special grand jury called by the
prosecutor to investigate perjury
charges in the Browne case.
Rumors were rife that before the
case of Browne could go to the jury
half a dozen more indictments, involv-
ing persons closely connected with
the trial would be voted. The indict-
ment Of Kelley came just as the
Browne defense had closed its ase.
After Browne closed his defense
States Attorney Wayman attacked his
case. Residents OF East st. Louis
were placed on the stand before Judge
Kersten to impeach the testimony
given by George Gloss, a motorman.
who was one Of the most important
witnesses for the defense. The
states witnesses swore they would
not believe Gloss under oath.
A fist fight between States Attor-
ney Wayman and Attorney Erbstein
was narrowly averted in the trial.
The states attorney was called a
trickster by the attorney for the de-
Tense. He retorted holly.
In a moment Attorneys O'Donnell
and Forrest were on their feet to sup
port their colleague, while the states
attorneys force Joined in the hub
bub, the noise of which drowned
Judge Kersten's raps for silence.
Finally the Judge made himself heard
and threatened to send all the attor-
neys In the case to Jail in contempt
which quelled the disorder.

AFTER POLE RECORDS
EXPLORER AGAIN MAKING DASH
FOR FROZEN NORTH.
Goes In Search Of Papers and lnstru,
mento Which He Says viii
Exonerate Him.

Copenhagen, Denmark.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, discredited In the eyes
of the world by the findings of the
University OF Copenhagen in regard to
the explorers claim of having reached
the north pole, again is on his way to
the top of the world.
From Goodhayn, Greenland, there
came a letter which establishes ap-
parently beyond doubt that the Brook
Ign surgeon is making his way north
ward In the effort to find records and
instruments he is said to have left
In the frozen north.
By these records and Instruments
Doctor Cook hopes to establish his
contention that he vas at the north
pole a year ahead of Commander Rob.
ert e. Peary.
1t lis stated in the letter that the
Brooklyn man has expressed himself
as confident of being able to convince
the world he is entitled to full credit
as the original discoverer of the pole
and to force the scientists at the
University Of Copenhagen to reverse
their adverse decision.
In this respect the writer of the
letter asserts that among the resi-
dents of Greenland there exists the
belief that every claim made by Doc
tor Cook in connection with his dash
northward Is based upon fact and
that the explorer will be enabled SO
to prove.
An American steamer bound south
ward recently dropped anchor in
Goodhaven harbor, says the letter, and
from the captain and crew was OBJ
tanned further confirmation of the re-
port that Doctor Cook had started a
second dash northward with the OBJ
ject of obtaining the proof which he
expects will set him right before the

TAFT PLEADS FOR HARMONY
Work OF Congress and Tolls Plan
OF Fixing Tariff.

New York. President Taft's
keynote letter addressed to Will
liam B. Mckinley Of Illinois, chair
man Of the Republican congressional
committee. and was given out by the
New York headquarters of the com.
mittee.
In 1t the president defends the
Payne tariff law, but acknowledges
that there are parts Of 1t which may
be amenable to change.
His plan for getting at the inequali.
ties of the law is investigation by the
tarif commission, and then revision
by individual schedules. He thinks
that By this means the statute may
be adjusted properly without causing
~uneasiness in the business world.
1T e to me- says Mr.. Taft.
that all Republicans-conservative,
progressive and radical-may well
abide the situation with respect to the
tarif until evidence now being ac-
cumulated shall justify changes in the
rates.
The letter II q straight from the
shoulder defense Of HE administration
and Of the congress that aided him In
the formation of the laws recently
passed. These are termed the most
progressive legislation in history.
Mr.. Taft pleads for harmony In the
Republican party and g all fac
lions to drop their differences and get
together for defense against the COM
mon enemy. II this is not done. he
says, the only alternative Is Demo
cratic success In the congressional
campaign this fall, and he points to
the difficulties which would be at.
tendant upon an administration handi.
capped by an opposing Legislative
branch In its efforts to further redeem
the pledges of its platform.
The president admits there are 9TH
or promises to keep, but at the same
time he asserts that the party has
gone far for good under HE guidance.
He outlines he economies which
have been practised during his admin
istration and in this connection do
clares that the present tariff, In coz.
junction with other economies. has
turned . deficit, of $5S, 000, 900 into q
surplus Of 326, 900, goo in a little yer

required to pay their own hospital ex.
penses. ~ no government fnnds were
