BURKE DIGS UP EVIDENCE
States Attorney of SangamOn County
Secures Check.
FISH DEALER TELLS OF JACK POT
Henry Lemm of Pekin, III, Gives
Details of Plans TO Fight LeRis-
IatiOn-DemOcrRt Takes
Fund.

PEORIA, Ill, June 4.-Details of how
legislation affecting the fishing interests OF
the state was fought i'm the state legisla-
ture was given to States Attorney Burke
Of Sangamon county tonight by Henry
Lemm, a fish dealer Of Pekin. Other fish
dealers were named and Burke also has
learned, IL is said, the name of a democratic
member of the legislature who went
south" with the entire fund contributed for
use in the last session.
Lemm said there had not been a session
OF the general assembly in which the fish
dealers had not put up money to fight
legislation opposed to their interests. He
said that the last session, however, cost
them the most. In the Forty fifth general
assembly, he said, he was required to con-
tribute but 500 and 1t cost him $500 for the
Forty-sixth session. In his confession
Lemm said that until the death of Captain
Schultz of Havana last year, Schultz was
the collector of the fund paid the legisla-
tors, but that he had been succeeded by
John Dixon fish dealer, of Peoria
Lemm said that while the fish bill was
on first reading in the legislature he went
to Hot Springs for his health. This was
May %. 1909. and before he left Lemm said
that he told Dixon to do what he could to
utAtdl tic bli anu Aldt ne NOulu Slanu mis-

Money Paid by Check.
The money paid by Lord for Lemm was
| through a check on George Herget & Sons
! bank of Pekin. 1t was endorsed in blank
| and made out TO Henry Lemm and signed
| by Lemm and r. o. Lord. The date of the
check was May H. and the same date Lord
wrote to Lemm telling him OF the transac-
| ton.
Before the states attorney left Lemm
promised to tell a complete story to the
grand jury at Springfield when he appeared
tomorrow morning. This was after he had
been assured by Mr.. Burke that the grand
jury was not after the men who had con-
| tributed for the defeat of legislation but
that the investigators were after the Iegis-
lators to whom the money had been paid
! Acting on information given by Lemm.
Burke sent deputy sheriff to the Lemm
fish warehouse and after prolonged search
! with lantern the check for $500, to which
the Lord letter referred was found The
names of a number of other fishmen who
are alleged to be implicated in the contribu-
lions to the funds to defeat fish legislation
/ we're given to Mr.. Burke and more subpoe-
macs are to be ssued.

Dead Man Blamed
For Sugar Frauds
By Underwelghts
Late H. 0. Havemeyer Given

secretary Of the company. VINO is charged
with conspiring to defraud the government
on underweights of sugar.
Heike's defense opened today and his
counsel tried to shift all responsibility for
the conduct of the company's affairs upon
its late president. Hitherto "a the defense
of Ernest w. Gerbracht, superintendent of
the company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn) re-
finery. and James F. Bendernagel, former
cashier. who are also on trial, only hints
were made in Havemeyer's direction, but
Heike's story put the responsibility UP to
his dead chief. direct.
George S. Graham, who made the opening
address for Heike, said he regretted bring
ing discredit to man now dead. but cir
cumstances Of the case demanded it, Heike,
he said, was at a period of life when a
prison sentence, even If short, would mean
life term
On taking the responsibility Heike I'M
mediately put the responsibility for prac-
tically all his acts up to Havemeyer, say
ing the latter had been in direct control
of the Williamsburg refinery. Time and
again, in explaining his business dealings
he declared he had acted lat the direction
Of Mr.. Havemeyer."
1t was also brought out through letter
written by Havemeyer to Gerbracht that
Heike had called Havemeyer's attention u

La Toilette Amendment Lost.
| At $50 o. m. the bill having been per-
| fected in the committee of the whole was
reported to the senate. Mr. Bacon moved
| to strike out the section for the establish
ment OF a court of commerce and argued to
the senate that the mehod prescribed for
designating the membership Of the pro-
posed court would be unconstitutional op
the ground that it would deprive circuit
! judges, who ere selected to serve for five
years on the court, OF their life tenures in
! the offices to which they were originally
appointed. The motion was rejected, TWEEN
| ty-five to thrty-eight. Mr.. La Toilette Of
fered his amendment 10 provide for the
ascertainment of the physical valuation Of
railroad property. 1t was rejected by a
vote of twenty-four to thirty-two.
! Mr.. La Toilette then presented care
fully prepared analysis OF the original bill
He undertook: to show what the original
bill as drafted by the attorney general
and recommended by the president" had
done for the public" and for the rail-
roads" and also to outline the improve
ments made Tin the senate I'm the public
| interest"
! ferred by the original measure, he enumer-
ated twelve benefits which he said had
been bestowed upon the railroads. In the
first section he included the control OF
classifications, the authority to establish
/ through rates, the requirement of written
statements of rates and the authority
given to suspend new rates
The provisions which Mr.. La Toilette
placed in the interests of railroads are
those which have received attention
throughout the debate and included the
capitalization, merger and traffic agree
ment provisions, which have been elimin-
ated. He outlined the notifications and
changes which have been made during the
progress of the bill, as Mr.. La Toilette
said by the progressive republicans and
democrats against the combined opposition
Of the administration and the railroads"
Mr. La Toilette closed by giving notice
\ that the conferees must keep faith with
the senate in the matter of important
amendments engrafted on the bill II they
expect the conference report to be ap
proved. He referred to a remark made By
Senator Aldrich fortnight ago in debate
