Chicago, August 27-Charges that

minority leader of the Illinois Legis-
lature in his trial on the charge of
buying votes to elect William Lori
mer to the United States Senate, was
made in court to-day by States At
torney John w. Wayman.
This charge was followed almost i'm
med ately by sunpoenas by the prosccu-
tor for the appearance on Tuesday
before special jury of numerous
officials and clerks of the Pullman
Company, including John c. Patter-
son, division superintendent
This move of the States attorney
is believed to concern his petition for
special grand jury. A subpoena was
issued directing officials of the Pull
man Company to bring before the
grand jury books and records showing
the names of applicants for positions
in the months Of April and August,
1909.
Following request by the prose-
cutting attorney, the court directed that
f. G. Hull, head clerk to the chief
clerk of the Illinois Central, produce
in court Monday all the passes issued
to members of the Illinois Legislature
Mr.. Hull denied an intimation by Mr..
Waynlan that 1866 passes were issued
at the request of Illinois Legislators.

Death Sad Fate
of Missionary
Roderic Prosch
One Day Guest of Colonel Roosevelt
and Next Day Dead-Health
of Party.

GoNDoKoRo, Sudan. saturday, March
l2-one of the most pathetic incidents con-
nected with the visit OF Colonel Roosevelt
TO Africa was the death OF Rev. Dr. Roderic
Prosch. a French missionary. who was re-
turning home to end his days in peace. Dr..
Prosch was the guest Of Colonel Roosevelt
at luncheon on March l, apparently in good
health. but the next day he was dead.
The steamer Dal with the Roosevelt
party aboard, had left Gondokoro, which Is
probably the most uninteresting hot and
dusty place in all the land A native came
running down the street saying that his
master was dying. A physician answered
the call in haste. He found DR.. Prosch
lying in his tent and bled the missionary
as the only means Of saving his life, but
he was TOO late.
This was the sad ending to ten and one
half years Of missionary work in the un-
healthy Zambesi country OF northwest
Rodsia- II was hard indeed to die just on
the threshold Of civilization, when thoughts
had been centered on home. Arrangements
for the funeral were made and al sunset
eight native policemen carried his body TO
its last resting place, under the shade Of
the tree where his tent had stood. A rough
coffin was made Of packing cases and a
Dldnket was wrapped around the FORM. Al
the head Of the procession on the march to
the grave was firing party Of the Uganda
constabulary. All the European residents
and local merchants attended as a mark OF
respect TO the dead missionary.
Inquiries developed the fact that there
was no one OF those who gathered at the
grave OF same religion as Dr. Prosch and
curlously enough all the whites were Catho-
lies. one of the newspaper correspondents
consented TO read the Church Of England
burial service. Only the previous day at
lunch Dr. Prosch ana Colonel Roosevelt
had discussed the question OF religious
tolerance and they had agreed that there
should be no Intolerance. Fate ordained
that DR.. Prosch should be buried by Roman
Catholics twenty-four hours later, although
he himself was a Lutheran.
This death and the fact that almost every
one else had suffered from malarial fever
served again 10 call particular attention
to the marvellous health which Colonel
Roosevelt and his son enjoyed throughout
the expedition. They did not have one
days illness, while a number Of the party
were attacked several times.
