WHITE ON STAND
IN LORIMER CASE
Senatorial Investigating Commit
tee Cross Examines State
Representative
HEARSAY EVIDENCE BARRED
Analyze Testimony Given by Wit
ness During Browne Brib-
cry Trial
HEARSAY EVIDENCE BARRED
ASSOCIATED Press,

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Direct and
cross examination of State Represen-
tative White, principal witness in sup
port of charges that the election OF
Senator William Lorimer was procured
by corrupt methods. was completed
today before the senatorial inYestigat-
ing committee.
In the session Senator Burrows OF
Michigan, chairman of the committee,
barred hearsay evidence from the pro
ceedings. 1t was specifically on the
right of Representative White to re-
late conversations which he declared
he had with Representative j. S. Clark
of Vandalia, in which White said clark
admitted he, too, was bribed to vote
for Lorimer.
The latter part of the cross exam
ination was devoted to an analysis or
testimony of White in the two trials or
Democratic Leader Browne on the
charge of bribery, in an effort to es-
tablish ground for impeaehing the
present testimony of White by Wit
nesses who testified in the other trials.
This examination was objected to re-
peatedly by Attorney Austrian. The
witness repeatedly declared that he
could not remember just what ques-
tions were asked him or what answers
he made.
White said that between the close OF
the legislature and July 10, 1909, he re-
ceived $19OO-$1O00 from Browne and
5000 from Representative Wilson.
Attorney Hanecy then introduced a
letter written by White to Browne
September 8, 1909. asking for a loan Of
$50, and saying he (White) had only 80
cents. The letter and the note for $50
signed by White and made out to
Browne were introduced. White said
he paid the note after Brownies first
trial.
Attorney Hanecy questioned White
closely concerning his acquaintance
with Miss Catherine Woods of East ST.
Louis, a witness in the second trial of
Browne. White admitted he had taken
the young woman to a theater and to
dinner, but denied he had ever told her
he was writing a history of his ex-
periences in the legislature which
would make the "Lorimer bunch" pay
him enough to keep him comfortable
for life, or he would make it hot for
them,

TWO MEN ACCUSED OF
ASSAULT AND ROBBERY

VENICE, Sept. 27.-A. c. Fleetwood
and John Valentine Cody were ar
raigned before City Recorder Rennie
late this afternoon on the charge of
assault and robbery. They are charged
by w. Irwin Wilson, a building con-
tractor of Imperial, with holding him
up and robbing him Of a watch and
money and severely beating him late
Sunday night. The men were held in
Jail tonight in default of $4,000 bail
each. Their hearing will be held to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, when
Arthur Keetch, deputy district attor-
ney, will appear on behalf Of the state.
Wilson, who is badly bruised about
the head and face, is still in a dazed
condition, and today was unable to
positively Identify Fleetwood and Cody
as the men who robbed him.
According to VIII Ball, city building
Inspector, Wilson'S money was taken
by two women from Los Angeles with
whom the contractor is said to have
spent Sunday afternoon and evening
here Ball said he saw the women
leave Wilson at a local cafe and board
a street car for Los Angeles. Before
they got on the car he said, he saw
them divide a sum of money, which,
in his opinion, they took from the
Imperial man. Wilson denies lknowl-
edge of having been with the women.
Following the report OF the alleged
robbery to the police, Fleetwood and
Cody went to Los Angeles, where they
were arrested today by Deput Sheriff
James johnson and officer Rafferty, of
this city and Deputy Sheriff Bert Rico.
Cody was found at 332 East First
street, while Fleetwood was arrested
in his room at 352 South Hill street.

read the platform which was under
stood to have the approval of Colonel
Roosevelt and the progressiVes.
This draft contained among other
things an unequivocal Endorsement OF
the administration of President Taft
and Governor Hughes, and of various
laws enacted by the legislature.
1t contained an approving reference
to the fact that the Republican senate
has driven from its ranks recreant
senator and committed the party to
a continuance of the prosecution of
wrongdoers in whatever place of trust
they might be found.
1t was agreed that because of the
lengthy discussion which would prob
ably be occasioned by the subject the
consideration of the primary feature
be deferred until late in the morning.
Without taking a vote on the Ban
nard platform the committee listened
to the reading by William Barnes, jr.,
of the platform advocated by the old
guard. This platform, which Mr.
Barnes moved as substitute for the
progressive draft, contained an "un-
euuivocal Endorsement of the admins
tration of President Taft" and tells
Just how much primary reform the old
guard is willing to adopt.
One of the committee members said
he expected the platform would con-
tain a blanket Endorsement of the
Payne-Aldrich bill.
The labor plank, members of the
committee said, would contain a plank
for legislation along the lines OF
Colonel Roosevelt's recommendations
for workingmen's compensation.
At 1890 p. m. the committee ad-
iourned for two hours and announced
that all subjects proposed for incor-
poration in the platform had been re-
ferred to a subcommittee of fourteen
for a formulation into a tentative
platform to be acted upon by the full
committee after the recess.

MAYOR GAYN0R FLATLY
REFUSES N. Y. NOMINATION
Declines to Become Democratic
Nominee for Governor

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.--James c.
Creelman of New York made public
tonight a letter from Mayor Gaynor,
dated yesterday. Mr.. Creelman decid-
ed on this step because he became con-
vinced today that nothing but this ac-
tion would prevent Mr.. Gaynor's nom"
ination by the Democratic state con-
vention. The letter follows:
Il am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dix stating that 1 am not a
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor and refuse to become such. I
do this to remove all doubt on the sub
ject which may have arisen by reason
OF irresponsible statements which, am
informed, are being circulated. No ut
terance of mine has put the matter in
doubt.
Some have said to me that the con-
Yention may nominate me although I
am not a candidate. 1t seems to me
that it might appear vain or egotistical
for me to assume in my letter to Mr.
Dix that that extraordinary thing might
happen. l therefore write this supple
mental letter to take to Rochester and
show there so as to prevent my nom
ination If it should appear to be i'm
minent. Make it plain that if NOM
mated I would decline to accept"

GILLE1T GIVES CALL FOR
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Ex-Governor
Gillett tonight, through Private Sec
retary Mitchell, issued the proclama-
tion calling the state legislature in
extraordinary session to make a need
ed change in constitutional amend
ment No. 1, which is to be voted on
in November.
The legislature will meet at 12 o'clock
noon Monday, October 3. The procla-
nation was drafted in San Francisco
today, and was signed and issued on
the Eldorado train of the Southern Pa
cific line tonight
The leading point to be taken up In
the session is shown by the following
preamble, which is incorporated in the
bill:
Whereas, It appears that the said
amendment leaves uncertain the pc
riod for which the gross receipts and
gross premiums mentioned in said res
olution are to be computed upon which
the taxes therein provided for are to
be levied, and in case said amendment
should be adopted in its present form
by the people, such amendment would
jeopardize the revenues to be raised
by the state under such amendment"

Around The World
By the "OFFICE BOY"

If love is blind, he must be able
to pick out the pretty girls by in
stinct, especially In Egypt, for the
Egyptian women wear a veil. A
Khedive with whom | became we'll
acquainted, In speaking of tho con-
dition of women in Mussuman
countries, said, ait Is generally be-
lleved in Europe and America that
it is our religion which enjoins
women to VeiI themselves and to
live in retirementj but that 10 an
error, and religion has nothing
whatever to do with II. 1t Ia an
ancient custom, and dating from the
time, far distant, when each man in
the East had to defend his property,
and especially his wives and his
dauahters. The more beautiful and
attractive these were, the moro was
II necessary that their beauty should
be hidden. Our law docs not oblge
a woman 20 veil herself, but it does
say, 'lf thy beauty cause strife
amongst mon, inspiring them with
love or jealousy in others, then were
il better for thee that 1t should be
hid.I" If that law was taken liter,
ally, beautiful women alone would
veil themselves. But ! guess there
never was a woman who believed
herself to be really ugly. The. re-,
suit is that tho yellow and .wrlnkled
faces of the Veriest old hags are
still shrouded In wells.

proclams the man." then how loud
must a mans hat tell of his taste

TO FIGHT
A WORM !!

A million dollars has been con-
tributed by John D. Rockefeller for
the determination of the Hook
Worm.
Scientists have now proven that
the pale anaemic condition and list
less inanition of hundreds Of thou
sands of Southern people is caused by
an intestinal worm.
The Hook-Worm is only one of
fifty species of Worms that are known
to infest the human intestines. Many
cases of stomach troubles, blood i'm
poverishment and general debility
and weakness are caused by Worms.
DR.. John F. True of Auburn, Me-,
was fifty years in advance of his time.
He recognized this in 1851 and gave
to the world DR.. True's Elixir, which
positively Expels Worms.
Whenever a laxative is needed,
DR.. True's Elixir should be taken.
1t is not only The Best Tonic Laxa-
tive ever devised, but it absolutely
expels all animal life (worms) from
the system. Worms cannot exist
where DR.. True's Elixir is taken.
Instead of pills, syrups, or carthar-
tic tablets, why not take DR.. True's
Elixir 1t fulfills everything that is
asked of laxative and also insures
the expulsion from your system of all
pernicious animal life, if any exists
there.
Children, especially, are frequently
sickly, peevish and fretful from no
other cause than worms. DR.. True's
Elixir makes them healthy, strong
and well.
Many man finds himself listless
and without energy; does not know
what is the matter with him. Can
not seem to put any force into the
days work; has no vim. A few
days treatment with DR.. True's
Elixir will correct these conditions.

panic swept their Ill trained ranks.
Retreat changed to rout. In scared.
dlsorganized groups the northerners
threw away all semblance Of order
and fed pellmell. Into Washington
streamed the beaten rabble, fearing
the Confederates were at their heels.
It was shameful defeat, and 1t spread
horror throughout the north. The
Union losses were about 2.896. the Con.
federate about 1882. The nation was
aghast. The south rejoiced. and the
Confederate cause received an incredi-
BILE impetus from the victory.
Little more fighting Of importance
occurred in 1851. both sides being busy
establishing their lines and preparing
for what all now saw would be life
and death struggle of long duration.

A skee is seven feet long, four inches

Two straps bind the runner to the
