ANOTHER CONFESSION
SAID TO BE MADE
Second Man Tells of Being Paid $1,000
to Vote for Lorimer for
Senator.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Representative
H. j. C. Beckmeyer of Carlyle added a
sensational development to the legis-
lative bribery scandal yesterday by
making to the special grand jury a
confession that corroborates in all es-
sential details of the story of Repre-
sentative Charles A. White of O'Fallon
that he was paid $1,000 for voting for
William Lorimer for United States
senator and that later he received
$500 as his share of a general corrup-
ton fund or Jack pot"
After an application of the thumb
screws Beckmeyer, who was accused
by White of being in ST. Louis the day
the jack pot was split, broke down
and told the special jurors that he had
received money by voting for Senator
I.orimer and had been given dividend
from the general "slush" fund. the
amount in each instance being almost
the same as that White confesses tc
having received. About $3.50 is said
to have been his share of the Jack
pot while he said he got $1,000 fol
his vote.

FARMERS COMBINE
WITH LABOR UNIONS
AffiIiation Accomplished at conven-
ton But the Alliance is Not
Political One.

ST. LOUIS, May 6.-The affiliation
of the organized farmers with the
American Federation of Labor, so
long the pet project of Samuel Com
pers, president of the federation, was
accomplished yesterday when reso-
luton pledging the farmers support
to the labor unions, to the end that
their rights and liberties, with our
own. shall be preserved" was unani-
mously adopted by the executive com
mittee of the farmers educational
and cooperative union. The resolu-
ton was prepared during the confer
ences which have continued since the
convention opened last Monday, be-
tween Gompers and several other Ia
Dor leaders and committee appoint
ed by the farmers.
The alliance will have absolutely
no political side, the officers OF the
farmers union say. President Bar
rett gave out a signed statement last
night denying report that it would
have such. President Gompers is
elated over the adoption of the reso-
fution.

STATE MILITIA
GUARDING MINES
Mob of Strikers Are Held in Check
and no Serious Outbreak
Has Occurred.

DANVIILE, H., May 6.-Two com
panies of the Illinois state militia
reached Westville last night, prepared
to prevent violence by the striking
miners, who in a mob of 700
marched on the coal miners of this
district, driving the repair men from
the pits and demanding a share of
the work.
The men declared their wives and
children we're crying for food and that
they themselves We're hungry.
The mob, composed mostly of Slavs
and Italians, massed at Westville.
From mine to mine in Kelleyville,
Westville, South Westville and Little
yermillion went the big mob, armed
with clubs and stones. The men
employed az repairs or installing new
safety devices came out willingly
enough at most of the mines, but at
Kelleyville there was fight. some
men were bruised, but none was ser
! iously hurt No shots were fired.

COWNIE FELT
CORSETLESS WAISTS
Recent Outbreak of Industrial School
Girls Was Caused by Re-
signed official.

DES MONIES, Iowa, May 6.-The
present state board of control filed its
expected report on the recent out
break of the girls in the Mitchelville
Industrial school The report lays
the blam for the trouble on John
Cownie, who recently resigned from
the board, of which he was chairman.
The report states that Cownie was
the chief factor in causing the out
break. Miss Garrison, the superin-
tendent, it is claimed, objected to the
boisterous manner of Mr. Cownie to-
ward the girls, particularly to his
habit of putting his hands on them
and being familiar with them.
Mr.. Cownie, it is alleged, criticised
the girls, and accused Miss Garrison
of being a woman with an impure
mind II is charged that he told the
girls that Miss Garrison was mean
and quarrelsome, and that she could
not manage the institution.
Another cause of the trouble the
report says, was raising the maximum
age from Is to IL years The girls
it is stated. are not allowed to weaI
corsets. Music has not been prohib
tied in the school, and there is ar
orchestra of 10 pieces, as we'll as
pianos in every cottage. It is spec
ificially found that the girls have no,
been brutally punished.
