GIVES REASONS FOR
SUPPORTING LORIMER
Lee 0'Nell Browne Before In
vestigating Committee.

Chicago, Oct. 8.--Lee O'Neil Browne,
testifying before the Lorimer investi-
cation committee, gave the following
as legitimate reasons for the Demo
cratic votes which elevated Mr.. Lor-
inner to the United States senate:
1t was desirable to break the dead
lock which had left the public busi-
ness In a deplorable state of neglect.
Mr.. Lorimer was considered more
Democratic in some Of his views than
other Republicans.
The election of Mr.. Lorimer prom
ised to split the Republican party OF
the state, thus increasing the chances
of Democratic success at the polls.
1t was believed that in natural
gratitude to the men who made his
election possible that Senator Lor-
inner would extend to the Democrats
patronage otherwise not to be
thought of by Democrat. (Mr. Lor-
inner, however, made no promises).
Browne repeated that his visit to
st. Louis June II, 1909, was to dis
cuss minority patronage. He took ex-
ception to the word Jobs" in this con-

WILL BE SENT INTO EXILE
Fate Decreed for the Portuguese
Royal Family.

Lisbon, Oct. S.-The new Portuguese
republic was virtually recognized by
practically all the foreign powers who,
under the leadership of Sir Francis
Villiers, called upon the new foreign
minister, DIR. Machado.
Although the members of the diplo-
matte corps made it plain that they
were not empowered az this time for
mally to recognize the republic their
call Is undoubtedly the forerunner OF
an official recognition.
An announcement was made that
the royal family will be exiled. King
Manuel the Duke of Oporto, Queen
Mother Amelie and Dowager Queen
Maria Pia are included in the band.
The personal property of the royal
family, 1t was stated, would be re-
spected. This was an unexpected con-
cession, inasmuch as there has been
a strong complaint against the alleged
thefts that the royal family have made
from the public treasury.

from Portugal the republicans appear
to be masters of section within q
radius of about fifty miles from Lis
bon. In this district they are in abso-
lutte control and will not allow mon
archist sympathiZers to so much as
stir from their home towns. The rail
roads are at standstill and in the
neighborhood of Lisbon most of the
highways are either barred or rem
dered impossible in some other way.
The consensus of opinion in lisbon
appears to be that the final success of
the revolutionary movement is still in
doubt, depending upon the attitude of
the provinces.

Again Rejects Proposal to
Surrender.
BLOODSHED NOW LIKELY

Deputy in Charge of Posse Near Home
of Fugitive Instructed to "Do His
Duty"-Has a Force of About Nine
ty Armed Men on the "Firing Line"
Deitz Submits His Conditions for
Surrendering.
Winter, Wis, Oct. 8.-John f. DeitZ
has again refused to surrender on
terms offered by Governor Davidson,
through Attorney General Gilbert and
Private Secretary o. G. Munson.
Sheriff Madden has instructed Deputy
Thorbahn, in command of the posse
near the Deitz homestead, to 'do his
duty"
Deitz was given another chance by
the representative of Governor Da-
wilson to surrender. In spite of his
fiat and dramatic refusal Attorney
General Frank l.. Gilbert and Colonel
o. G. Munson, the governors secre-
tary, had another conference with the
outlaw. They had nothing more to
offer DeitZ personally than before
They did, however, inform the outlaw
that If he gives himself up the war
rants against Mrs. Deitz, Clarence,
Myra and Leslie will not be pressed
When Deitz was told that he should at
least send his family away from the
cabin if he intended to resist arrest,
he replied:
mo. My family's place is with me" !"
The family nodded approval.
During his first interview with the
governors representatives Deitz an

Letters containing threats of vio-

Fred Thorbahn, Roy Van Alstyne,
Sheriff Madden, District Attorney Da-
Wis and number of deputies.
Mrs. jeanette Dunster, who accom-
panied Elmyra Deitz to the hospital in
Ashland, has received a particularly
bitter message of denunciation. So far
no anarchists or armed Deitz sympa-
thizers have appeared.
Fred Thorbahn, special deputy, who
has been placed by Sheriff Mike Mad
den in entire charge of the job of cap
turing Deitz, is enlarging his army
of deputies and has about ninety men
in the circle hemming Deitz in. II the
outlaw refuses again to surrender the
trap will close and his killing, if neces-
sary, will come any minute. Thorbahn
insists that he will not shoot first.
According to deputies on the firing
line Deitz is moving about his farm
freely. Thursday, they say, was the
first time that he carried rife. He
has a pile of stones on the hilltop
which he uses as a protected lookout
and small shed on the opposite side
of his cabin, close to the Thornapple
river, where he takes observations In
that direction.

LIQUOR NOT POLITICAL ISSUE.
Declaration of Alabama Anti-Saloon
League Superintendent.

Montgomery, Ala, May 23.-"The
prohibition question in Alabama is no
more a political issue than is the say
ing of a SOUL" said the Rev. Brooks
Lawrence, superintendent of the Ala
bama Anti-Saloon League, in SER
mon preached at the Southside Bap-
tist Church to-day.
Referring to the recent State pri-
mary he declared the people of Ala
bama to be now passing through the
valley of humiliation. Greed,
selfshness and unbelief he cited as
the three causes for recent political
reverses of the Prohibitionists. ''1f
saloons are a good thing" he said,
1--WE ought to have several round this
church."
The sermon was his first public ut
terance since the primary, at which
time, it was asserted, DR.. Lawrence
had left Alabama for good. A big
subscription was taken to aid the
Anti-Saloon cause.

Damaged Corn.

The first pellagra order has been
issued by the department Of agricul-
ture under the pure food and CON-
mercial food inspection laws. A car
load of corn has been held up by the
department at Clio. It is claimed that
the corn is damaged and unsafe for
food for either man or beast. The
car will be shipped back to Nash
vile.
Samples of the corn are now being
examined by the health department
at Washington to see if there is any
eevidence of a substance that might
cause pellagra. DR.. J. w. Babcock
and DR.. J. J. Watson of this city ex-
amined the corn and are Of the opin-
ion that it is damaged sufficiently to
cause pellagra. It is the opinion OF
the two physicians that at least s1O,-
900 damage would be done should
the corn be fed to the live stock in
the eastern section Of the State.
Commissioner Watson notified the
food inspection department of Ten
nessee to-day to watch the car and
see that the corn was not ground into
meal and sent back to this State for
sale.
The car of corn was shipped by the
w. H. Crozier Grain company OF
Nashville, Tenn, on February Z and
was consigned to the E. Sternberger
company at Clio, at which point it ar
rived on February 20. The Stern,
berger company notified the commits
sion that the corn was in the COM
pany's warehouses and asked what
disposition should be made of 1t.
The Sternberger company has been
notified not to offer any of the corn
for sale. It is stated in the order is
sued that any agent attempting tc
sell the corn will be prosecuted

Several days ago Mr.. West said
that the sales of the dispensaries in
six counties of the State for the pres
ent year would be two-thirds as mucf

Slain by His Father-in.Law.

Charleston, May 24.-Charles w.
Cooper was shot and killed at 1
o'clock this afternoon by his father
in-law, Ben NJ. Piquet, in front of the
doorway of the latter's residence on
John street. The killing was done
with double barrel shot gun and the
weapon was discharged from a Sec
ond-story window of the house,
Cooper falling in his tracks as the
load of nine buck shot entered his
left shoulder, reaching his heart.
Piquet was placed under arrest i'm
mediately, offering no resistance and
surrendering his gun. A pistol was
also found on his person when he was
searched at the station house. Coop
er's body was removed to the Roper
hospital by order of the coroner. The
inquest will be held tomorrow. In
a hip pocket of the dead man was
found 3S calibre pistol.
The killing was the result OF faml-
" trouble and seems to have been
justified from the statements of par
ties. Cooper bears bad reputation.
He married Piquet's daughter last
Christmas against the wishes of the
parents, who seem to be people of
good standing. Yesterday he beat
the young woman, charge on which
he had been arrested in the past be-
fore his second marriage and an off,
Ger was summoned. The wife would
not prefer the charges and Cooper
was not taken into custody. 1t is
said he was standing about his
father-in-law's place, waiting to get
a chance to kill him and the old man
got the opportunity to put his gun
on the mark first and Cooper was
killed.

SUGAR TRUSTS SCAPEGOAT.
Oliver Splitter Testifies in Sugar
Fraud Trials.

New York, May 23.-Oliver Spitz-
er, whose conscience hurt him, came
back to New York tonight like a
spectre from the grave, and, with a
pardon from the president in his
pocket, gave testimony at the trial of
Charles R. Heike, secretary-treas-
urer of the American Sugar Refining
company, who, with five subordi-
mates, is charged with conspiracy to
defraud the government in under
weights of sugar imports.
Splitter as superintendent of the
company's Williamsburg (Brooklyn)
docks, got two years in the Atlanta
prison for his participation in the
frauds, but he was quietly pardoned
by the president, after serving only
three months and having made full
confession and promised that he will
aid the government in it's attempt to
convict his former associates.
Spitzer's story on the stand to-day
did not directly connect Heike with
the frauds, but his confession result
ed in one new arrest tonight. James
O. Brzezinski, formerly an employe
of the treasury department and now
a private detective, was locked in the
Tombs, charged with perjury. Spit
ger confessed that he attempted to
hribe Brzezinski to conceal the frauds
and the latter is alleged to have de-
MED this before a federal grand jury.
This apparent conflict brought about
Brzezinski's arrest.
Splitter told an amazing story un-
der direct examination and hurried
from the court to the federal grand
jury room.
This led to the rumor that his full
confession would result in another
batch of indictments. He was not
cross-examined by the defense be-
cause of the peculiar situation created
by his sudden appearance as a gov
ernment witness. Two of the de-
fenses's lawyers had previously ap-
peared for Splitter when he was de-
fendant, and for ethical reasons could
not now examine him. The court
ruled that they must agree on some
one to examine him Wednesday.
No promise Of pardon brought
about Spitzer's confession, say the
federal authorities. His conscience
merely hurt him, it was explained;
but realizing the Importance of his
testimony and the legal obstacles
likely to bar it were he a convict,
action was taken to restore him to
citizenship.
When convicted in February last,
Splitter declared the sugar trust had
made him the scapegoat.
= 1T bounded and ruined me, after I
had served faithfully for 29 years,
he said. To-day he told how for
years he had assisted in the alleged
frauds
