LORIMER FOES WIN
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
MEN DECIDE TO HEAR EVIL
DENcE ABOUT JACKPOT"
WILL WIDEN INQUIRY SCOPE
Charles A. White on Stand as First
Witness Retels His Story Of Al
legged Bribery in Election of United
States Senator.

Chicago-As a result of decision
made by the senate Investigating COM
mittee overruling Attorney Hanecy's
objection to Charles A. Whites testi-
mony at the hearing Monday, all
Jackpot and other evidence dealing
with alleged bribery of Illinois legisla-
tors to vote for Senator William Lori
mer will be admitted.
Arguments on making permanent
the ruling to admit Jackpot testi-
mony were, made, each side being al
lowed twenty minutes. Upon the con-
clusion of the arguments they ruled
that the question which precipitated
decided that hereafter each Jack
pot" question should be ruled upon
separately.
Attorney Hanecy's objection came
when Representative Charles A.
White was ON the stand. White had
told his story of the alleged offer OF
$1,000 to vote for Lorimer for senator
and had begun to tell the committee
that in addition he was promised a
share in the Jackpot" when Attorney
Hanecy interrupted.
Attorney Hanecy submitted that the
Jackpot" evidence was irrelevant to
the bribery charge.
The committee retired to private
room for deliberation and after ten
minutes decided that Mr.. Hanecy's
objection could not stand The deci-
sion is taken to widen the scope of
the inquiry to include every action
which in any way has bearing on Sen
ator Lorimer's election.
Whites story was practically the
same as he told in the Browne trials.

SIXTEEN DIE IN A WRECK
ROCK ISLAND TRAIN GOES
THROUGH OPEN BRIDGE
Disaster Occurs Near Clayton, kanr
When Heavy Rainstorm Causes
Small Creek to Become Torrent.

Clayton, Kan.-A terrible disaster
took place on the Rock Island rail-
road two miles east of here Friday,
when fast train plunged through an
open bridge and into 20 feet of water.
Sixteen persons were killed and IL
injured Most of the victims were oc-
cupants of the smoking car, which
was telescoped by the car following
it.
The stream which wrought the de-
struction is at ordinary times simply
a dry arroyo, with no water, but with
it's banks 80 feet below the level OF
the railroad bridge. A tremendous
rain had fallen during the night and
the ordinarily dry bed was soon hlled
to the brim with wild torrent. Inc
bridge itself was quickly broken up
and carried away.
Shortly after one O'Clock In the
morning, while the storm yet ragged,
the fast Rock Island passenger train
from Kansas City to Denver, travel
ing at forty mile per hour speed,
rushed headlong into the gap and the
forward end of the train took the
plunge into the water filed ravine.
The locomotive, tender and baggage
car disappeared entirely under the wa
ter, and the engineer, fireman, bag
gageman and conductor were all in
stantly killed
The smoker, which stopped on the
brink of the stream, was telescoped
by chair car and many of the pas
sengers killed outright Others were
thrown into the stream and drowned.
With the exception of the last Pull
man the entire train left the track
and the cars and coaches were piled
in one big heap or rolled into the
ditch alongside the rails.
The uninjured passengers made
their way to the brink of the stream
and rendered what assistance they
could, working by the light of the few
lanterns which could be found.
Other passengers as well as train
for help. From this place the news
was telegraphed to headquarters and
relief trains were started from Belle
vile and Phillipsburg. Citizens Of
Clayton in wagons drove hastily to
the scene of the wreck and, aided by
bonf1res which they lighted, worked
in the storm amid the debris in the
search for the dead and injured.
The little stream lost it's water as
rapidly as 1t had found it, and soon
the ravine was practically dry. Down
stream for half mile the dead and
injured were found and removed to
the improvised hospitals. Nine of
these dead were identified by letters
and otherwise. Seven are without
Identification marks.

SIX DEAD IN CRASH
TRACTION COACH COLLlDES
WITH CAR NEAR TIP
TON, IND.
TWELVE PERSONS ARE HURT
Second Smashup on indiana Roads
Within Week-Motorman who
Jumped and Saved Himself Says,
al Guess We overran Instructions"

Tipaon, Ind.-In collision on the
indiana Union Traction road two
miles north of this city Saturday six
persons were killed and II others
more or less seriously injured.
This was the second disaster on In
diana traction lines within week, the
first having occurred on the Wabash
Valley line at Kingsland on Wednes-
day
In both cases there was mistake
in orders-one of the trains overran
the station at which it was to stop
and met the other on sharp curve
in head-on collision.
DR.. w. C. Holthouser, who was killed
in the wreck, was on his way to Ko-
komo, Ind, where he was to have been
married. His brother, who also was
killed, was to have been the best man
at the wedding The bride to have
been is Miss Nellie Coxon, daughter of
the secretary of the Great Western
Pottery company of Kokomo.
The collision was between north
bound limited passenger train and a
south bound freight. The south bound
motorman had orders to wait at the
first stop north of the crossing, it is
said, but overran that point, thinking
he could make another switch.
clump of trees hid the approach
ing cars and they came together at a
curve The freight train plowed
through the front of the limited, de-
molishing the smoker. The motor
man and all the passengers in the
smoking compartment of the limited
were killed The motorman and con-
ductor on the freight car jumped and
were not injured.
Il guess we overran the orders"
said Motorman Dan Lacy, when he
had fully recovered from the shock
caused by jumping from his car. Con-
ductor Sebree was equally daZed at
the occurrence and could not explain
why it was they had passed the switch.

FIND NEW BRIBE EVIDENCE
Charles Luke, Now Dead, Is Said to
Have Confessed to Getting
$1,000 for Vote.

Springfield, Ill.-State's Attorney
Burke of Sangamon county has OBJ
tanned information that another mem
Der of the Illinois legislature received
81 900 for voting for William Lorimer
for senator.
The man who made this admission
of receiving cash for his vote was
Charles S. Luke of Nashville, who
represented the Forty-fourth district
in the house, and who has since died.
Mr. Burke obtained the knowledge Of
Luke's admission some time ago, but
il could not be used as evidence in
any pending criminal case.
It is pertinent, however, to the
broader matter of Lorimer's election
now under investigation by the sena-
torial committee in Chicago, and may
be used in that inquiry.
The admission was made by Luke
according to one of Mr.. Burke's staff
familiar with the matter, to Hugh V.
Murray of Carlyle, now states attor-
ney of Clinton county.
The date of the conversation In
which Luke made the confession was
August 18, 1909, months prior to the
publication Of the White confession
and the corroborative confessions OF
Beckemeyer, Link and Holstlaw. Luke
is said to have told Murray:
st got $1,000 for my vote for Lori
mer, and Beckemeyer was fool II ne
didn't get the same"
Luke was one Of those, present in
the Southern hotel bathroom In st.
Louis, and his widow gave testimony
before the Cook county grand jury
that seemed to indicate that he had
not been overlooked in the Jackpot"
distribution.

literary Cardiff giant, which will be
remembered as having been supposed
to antedate almost everything, but
really was antedated by very clever
fakir. A message that cannot be read
from a source that cannot be identi-

a primitive effort in the direction of

The three hundredth anniversary OF
the rule of the Romanoffs is to be

Is expected that one feature of the
celebration will be amnesty to polite
al offenders-not only amnesty to the
extent of setting them free from i'm.
prisonment, but to the extent of re-
storing their political rights. This
will be a good act on the part of the
car, but three years is long time for
the political prisoners to wait for it
especially those who in the first place
were unjustly condemned.
