BLOW DEALT BRIBE DEFENSE
Legislator 8~eckemeyer swears Browne
Said "This Is Lorimer Money"
When Paying Him $1,000.

Chicago.-Sensatfonal testimony was
introduced into the senatorial investi-
CATION Of Senator William Lorimer's
election Thursday when Representa-
tive H. ]. C. Beckemeyer of Carlyle,
ILL.,, testified that, after being requested
to vote for Lorimer by Lee O'Neil
Browne, minority leader in the legisla-
ture, he was handed 81. 900 by the lat
ter, with the statement: "This is Lori
mer money"
It was the first time since the hear
ing began that direct testimony was
offered connecting the junior senator
from Illinois with the alleged corrup-
ton that existed during the forty
sixth general assembly. Heretofore
when testimony Of the payment OF
money to legislators was brought in
the plea Of the defense has always
been that the money was not paid for
the election of Senator Lorimer, but
for other and extraneous legislative
matters-the Jackpot in short.
Beckemeyer told Senator Frazer
that he understood he was getting the
1000 for voting for Lorimer, but said
there was no promise made to him by
anyone that he should receive any
money for his vote.

have not stopped industry or deprived

MINUTES.
WINS $4,000 CASH PRIZE
Young Aviator s%urpasses All Cross
Country Flights in His Chicago TO
Springfield (III.) Trip-Out-O's-
tances Special Train.

Springfield, Ul.-What Is looked up
on as one of the most remarkable
feats in aerial navigation was accom-
plished by Walter B. Brookins. IN q
Wright biplane, Thursday, when ne
successfully flew from Chicago to this
city, and in doing so he broke all
country aeronautic records.
With only two stops. neither OF
which was actually necessary, he MADE
the trip from Chicago to Springfield.
a distance of 1856 miles, in five hours
and forty-nine minutes, maintaining an
average speed of 1927 miles an hour,
and won the 100000 prize offered by
a Chicago newspaper.
Along the entire route, from Chicago
to the state fair grounds here, hun
dreds of thousands OF people cheered
the daring young aviator as he passed.
As the great mechanical bird came
to the ground here In the presence OF
10000 people he was cheered vocifer-
ously for fully half an hour.
Brookins left Chicago at s:15 a.. m.
He dropped out Of the clouds over the
fair grounds in Springfield at 4:45.
One of the first persons to grasp
the airman by the hand as he stepped
from his seat after the long and spec
tacular flight vas Gov. Charles 8. De-
neen, who was followed by Mayor
John s. Schnepp Of Springfield.
Forty-seven minutes after Brook1ns
rose from the ground in Washington
mark. Chicago, the Daylight Special"
left the Park Row station over the ILL
nois Central. A special car had been
attached in which travelled Wilbur
Wright, the airship inventor; Roy
Knabenshue, special representative OF
the Wright brothers; members OF the
Aero club Of Illinois. and about forty
newspaper men.
After a flight Of two hours and TWEEN
weight minutes Brookins came to Gil
man, where he arrived at 11:43. Brook
ms was far ahead of the train and he
decided t alisht and await the arrt-
val Of the train.
The train arrived at Gilman at 1915
and orders were given BY the division
superintendent Of the railroad to hold
the train until the biplane should re-
sumo its flight. The gasoline and wa
ter tanks were replenished. and after
the engines had been gone over care
fully by Wright and Knabenshpe.
Brookins resumed his fight.
From Gilman to Springfield tho spe-
cial train and the aeroplane ran neck
and neck. first one forging ahead,
then the other. but never at any time
more than a quarter Of q mile apart.
Brookins was forced at 1920 to de-
scend at Mt. Pulaski for fuel. only
;twenty-four miles from the state fair
grounds. The landing was n Of
the most remarkable that has ever
been seen in the history Of aviation.
Trees and fences surrounded him on
all sides and with perfect control he
picked out q spot, after soaring about
In a short circle, scarcely more than
half a block square. and landed square
in the center. The special train was
held up, the aeroplane's supplies again
we're renewed, and at 3:45 he as
cended again. From Pulaski to the
fair grounds a speed of t~hirty.nve
miles an hour was maintained.
