legged bribery and corruption in his cleo
ton TO the Senate from Illinois
The subcommittee report was read 10
the fun Senate committee. II was not
made public. but enough is known as
to the findings 10 warrant the statement
that the report is a vindcatiOn of the
Senator from the charge of personal re-
sponsibility.
The subcommittee also found that
even conceding that the vote Of every
member of the Illinois legislature alleged
TO have been hribed as shown by the
testimony should be thrown out. the Illi-
nois Senator would still have a clean ma
iority of three. For the reasons stated
above, the subcommittee finds that no
evidence has been ELECTED tending TO
prove that Mr.. LorimeT is not entitled
TO occupy his seat.
The report was received, but not passed
by The fun committee. 1t will bs printed
and taken up for consideration at a
meeting OF the full Committee on PriVi-
leges and Elections tomorrow.

elected 10 the United States Senate by
the legislature of that state, and then
went right ahead and told them what he
thought about it,
''Out of the $4,000 votes cast fer the
successful Democratic candidate ina New
Jersey" he said, 1t appears that $4,000
votes had been east at the primaries for
one man for United States Senator un-
der the permissive Senatorial primary act
Of New Jersey. In Ohio, some time ago,
l50,000 voters selected Senator Dick as
their candidate. but Senator Dick viii not
be chosen by the legislature.
Still some persons say that because
for Senator and because the voice OF the
people is the voice of God, the New Jer-
sey legislature must regard that choice
as mandatory. When we consider that
4S0O0, as compared with 200.000. it seems
strange that the voice of God did not
have the same effect in Ohio

"The people of the United States

These deaths are caused by pol

FAILS TO SHOW TELLS SKILL

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March "a
enacting of the drama of William
Tell shooting the apple of the head
of his son had slightly different
sequel, as produced yesterday in a
shooting gallery in this city, from
the original in Switzerland in the
long ago.
In the affair yesterday D. H.
Bunce, a local marksman, declared
he could shoot the ashes off a Gig
arctic held between the lips of Harry
Lacken, whose home is in Montreal,
Canada.
Lacken agreed to the trial and
stood under the electric lamps near
the targets. Bunce fired, but the
bullet did not touch the cigarette.
Instead it passed through Lacken's
lip.
The wounded man was taken to
the City Hospital. He will recover.
