Senator's Speech i'm Rapid Success
sion.

Springfield, Ill, May 2S-Within a
few hours after United States Senator
William Lorimer had delivered a
speech at Washington today DENYING
that his election was brought about
by bribery, State Senator John Brod-
erick, leading Chicago Democrat.
was indicted on bribery charge by
the grand jury here.
Broderick's Indictment was the d.
rect result of a confession made to
the grand jury by State Senator d. w.
liolstlaw, of Iuka, ILL.,, who says Brod-
erick paid him $4,000 to vote for
Lorimer for senator. A capias was
ordered at once for Broderick and a
bench warrant issued for his arrest.
The unexpected turn in the Lorimer
scandal was an offshoot of States At
torney Burke's investigation of alleg-
ed graft in a legislature furniture
deal. Senator Holstlaw, who was a
delegate to the Baptist convention in
baltimore and had just returned
home when arrested, had been indict-
ed Oh a perjury charge in connection
with the furniture contract. and upon
advice Of his lawyers, when offered
immunity, agreed to make a confess
sion.
Then he told the grand jury that he
had received s2,500 for his vote for
Lorimer, 500 as his share of a legis-
lative Jackpot" and promise of ST.
500 as his share Of the State House
furniture deal.
Senator Holstlaw's confession re-
garding the furniture deal was corro-
horate1 before the grand jury by OF
TO Freler. who, as agent for the Ford
johnson Furniture Company, of
Chicago obtained the furniture con-
tract
Senator Holstlaw, in his confession,
said the Lor.mer bribe money was
hended to him by State Senator Brod-
erlck. Hoistlaw is said to have con-
fessed on advice of his attorney, after
being indicted yesterday on a charge
OF perjury in connection with the fur
niture transaction. He was promised
immunity and returned immediately
after his confession to his home at
Iuka.
Senator Holstlaw had already ad-
mltted that he had been promised ST.
500 in connection with the letting of
the contract for desks and chairs in
the assembly hall, which contract has
been under investigation by the grand
jury.
Senator Holstlaw also stated that
Broderick gave him 500 without any
explanation except the statement "that
1T was coming to him." Holstlaw said
he supposed this money was from the
So-called legislative Jackpot" !.

A BOOST IN WAGES.
Regarded as Nearly Certain Labor
Bureau Will Show IL.

Bureau VIII SNOW ".
Although the work throughout the
state is but ne-sixth done, from the
statistics already gathered by the
deputies in the employ of the labor
bureau of the state. it appears that
the past year has seen a boost in the
wages paid Michigan workmen.
Just how large the increase will be.
or whether the facts yet to be gathered
will not sustain the record so far es-
tablished. is a matter of pure con-
lecture, but it seems certain under the
circumstances that the average wage
will be higher than ii was when the
last report of the bureau was issued.
Inasmuch as many of the new in
dustries that have located within the
state in the past pear have been
either automobile concerns or have
manufactured auto parts. the intro
duction of skilled labor has been
heavy and II is probable that this will
have n tendency to raise the general
average of wages paid in the state.
III this is true II will be noticed
more especially in Wayne county than
anywhere else in the state for In that
district n large per cent of the new
manufacturing concerns have been
those organized for the purpose of
either making os assembling automo-
biles or the manufacture of some part
or parts. The work i'm Detroit alone
is especially heavy this year and the
inspectors there have their hands full
keeping up in their labors.
