LORlMER TRIAL BEGINS
Seven Senators Are, to Pass on the
Case of the Illinois Man.

William Lorimer's trial for his seat
in the senate began at Chicago Sew
en- senators are to pass on his case,
which is correlated to the bribery scan
dals in the Illinois state legislature.
The presiding officer at the trial is
Senator Burrows of Michigan.
The Republican members of the
committee who will attend the ses-
sions, in addition to Senator Burrows,
are Senators Gamble of South Dakota,
Hepburn of Idaho and Bulkeley of Con-
necticutt.
The Democratic judges are Senators
Frazier of Tennessee, Johnson of Ala
bama and Paynter of Kentucky
When the inquiry opened, with Sen
ator Burrows in the chair, a plea for
delay was made by the attorney for
Lorimer. This was based on the COM
ing elections, in which constituents of
Lorimer are candidates, and the forth
coming trials of Lee O'Neil Browne
and John Broderick in Sangamon
county on charges made in connection
with Lorimer's election.
-S aatoF LeFimef declined to make
a statement when called on by Chair

Judge Hanecy, talked for him. He
criticised States Attorney Wayman
and the accusers of Lorimer scathingly
and reviewed the progress. of the case
in scorching language.

And this extra precaution is due to
the change in the system of making
money. Until recently the money was
printed at the bureau of engraving
and printing, but sent to the treasury
minus the seal and the number, so that
it was not real money until handled
in the treasury.
Now one machine does all the work,
including the stamping of the seal and
number. These figures-the round
seal to the right and the number to
the left of the face of paper bill.
stamped in blue-are what make bills
legal tender. Hence when the money
passes through the wonderful cutting
and stamping machine, which counts
bills out in lots of 100 after it is
through with them, it is ready to
spend and anyone who got hold of it
would have the real thing.

TAFT WOULD FORTIFY
The PANAMA CANAL
President Will Ask ApprOpTi-
alton Of S2,OOo,OOO

President Taft, in his coming mes
sage to congress next December, will
give prominence to recommendation
that at least S2,000,000 be appropri-
ated for immediate use for beginning
the fortification Of the Panama canal.
1t became known that the presidents
economy plans do not contemplate
any interference with the established
naval policy of adding two battleships
a year to the American fleet.
Mr.. Taft believes that there ought
to be no delay in this governments
undertaking the fortification of the
canad. He recommended an appropri-
alton of 100000 for this purpose at
the last session, but it encountered
some opposition in the house and was
not passed.
Mr.. Taft holds that the United
States has ample power under her
treaty rights to fcrtify the canal In
fact, the only way this government
can police and protect" the canal, in
his opinion, is by fortifying it, and he
proposes to exert his influence to ac-
complish this as soon as possible
1t was learned that the administra-
tiCr is thinking Of establishing a
strong naval base on Guantanamo ISL
and, near Cuba. Secretary. of the
Navy Meyer will take a trip to Guiana,
tanamo for the purpose of observing
conditions there. 1t is the opinion of
the navy experts that future wars in
which this country may be engaged,
II they ever come, will be fought out
in the neighborhood of the Panama
canal and it is in connection with this
opinion that the secretary is looking
toward Guantanamo as affording a
base for an American fleet.
Of almost equal interest, with the
news of the presidents attitude to-
wards the canal was the announce
ment of the likelihood of the negotia-
tion of reciprocity treaty between
this country and Newfoundland.

Forty persons were killed in a col
lision OF south-bound limited and north
bound local cars on the Fort Wayne
and Bluffton branch of the Wabash
Valley Traction line at Kingsland,
Ind, eighteen miles south of Fort
Wayne.
The dead were strewn over the neld
along the track, and many are so ter
ribly injured that there is little hope
that they can survive.
The cries of the wounded were
heart-rending.
Governor Marshall, although absent
from the state capital, ordered the In
vestigation to start at once. He gave
instructions that if any of the officials
of the road were found at fault evi-
dence should be gathered against them
for use in a criminal prosecution.
That Motorman B. F. Corkwell, who
is dying at Hope hospital, sent the
people to their death by disregarding
orders and running past a siding where
he should have waited for the other
car to pass him, was the direct charge
made by C. D. Emmons, general man
ager of the traction company.
The scenes following the wreck
we're peculiarly pathetic, as mothers
ard fathers saw the mangled forms of
their children taken from the wreck
hT1C
wife saw a husband taken out so man
gled that Identification could be made
only from the clothing. Physicians
and nurses were rushed to the scene
of the wreck from this city and other
places on the line and many of the in
jured are now in hospitals. Some of
them died before medical attention
could be given and two died while be-
ing conveyed to hospitals.
That the cars were running at a
very fast rate is demonstrated by a
view of the wrecked cars after they
had run into each other, the iron and
wood of one could not be distinguished
from the other, SO tangled was the
mass and in this was a struggling,
shrieking mass of humanity, praying,
calling for help and pleading for re-
lief from their misery.
There were four men in charge of
the two cars-two conductors and two
motormen-and of these, three are
dead and the fourth badly injured.
Wien a relief car arrived at Kings
land, the physicians found more work
for the coroner and undertakers than
for themselves. The dead and dying
were lying in the fields and woods
nearby and little could be done for
most OF the injured, as they seemed
to be beyond medical aid. The wood
and iron work of the cars were in a
tangled mass and the bodies of some

gled cut of recognition.
Owing to the confusion, the identi-
fication of the dead was not rapid.
The fact that so many of the cars
occupants were dead, and SO many
others seriously hurt, placed a great
handicap on the efforts to identify
those who had been killed. Few in
the cars escaped death or injury and
those in their dazed state at first
could render little aid in determining
who the dead were.
