BRIBE GIvER ACQUITTED.
Chicago Jury Declares Democratic
Leader Not Guilty.

Chicago, Sept. 9.--Attorney Lee
O'Neill Browne of Ottawa, Ills, Dem
ocratic legislative leader, charged
with bribery In connection with the
election of VIM. Lorimer Of Chicago
to the United States senate, was ac-
quilted by a jury in Judge Geo. Ker-
stems division of the criminal court
today. The jury. which took eight
ballots, was out 81 hours. On the
first ballot 1t stood eight to four for
acquittal. The final juror standing
out for conviction was won over to
sign the verdict of acquital at 1885
o'clock in the afternoon.
Immediately the court room was In
an uproar. 1t was 10 minutes before
bailiffs could stop the cheering.
Browne was at luncheon when in
formed that a verdict had been
reached. He reached the court room
in time to hear the verdict. His eyes
filled with tears and a little later he
threw his arms about Chas. Erbstein,
his attorney. Browne was then
hoisted to the shoulders Of friends
and carried out of the court room
amid handshaking and cheering.
Apparently he had forgotten for
the time that he is under indictment
on the same charge and will have to
face trial at Springfield in Sangamond
county.
States Attorney wayman was
plainly put out by the verdict. At
first he refused to talk. Later he
said:
THE verdict speaks for itself, the
public knows the evidence. pre-
sented the evidence and did every
thing that a public prosecutor could
do. The State of Illinois will reap
the benefit of the prosecution regard
less of the verdict"
The verdict came as a dramatic
aftermath of yesterdays sensational
incident between Col. Roosevelt and
Senator Lorimer regarding the Ham
ilton club banquet.

given Clifford Pinchot, former chief
forester, and l.. r. CLAWS, former
chief of the field division Of the gen
eral land office.
Mr.. Madisons conclusions are:
THAT the charges Of Messrs CLAY
Is and Pinchot should be sustained
THAT Mr.. Ballinger has been ur-
faithful TO the public interests.
THAT In the matter of the Cum
ningham coal lands he was not a
faithful trustee Of the peoples in
terest.
THAT with regard to the reclama-
tion service he has taken action tend
ing toward Its disintegration.
Secretary Ballinger's action In re-
storing water power sites without in
tention to withdraw Is also criticised,
along With his, conservation policy
among other things.
Publication OF Findings.
A resolution adopted by the Demo-
Gratis and Mr.. Madison provides for
publication of the findings. When
Senator Nelson left the committee,
Senator Fletcher was made chair
man pro tenn and the members pres
ent proceeded with their work.
Earlier in the day an effort was
made to secure a quorum, but without
success. Paul Sleeman, Of Washing
ton, ID. c., secretary of the commit
tee. was instructed to bring in the
absentees after being designated as
sergeant-at-arms. He was ordered
TO arrest them, but 1t was found there
was no power to do this under the
resolution authorizing the committee.
II was said that the Republicans
had remained away from the meet
ing because they feared the possibli-
ty that the action of the Democratic
members and Mr.. Madison. in adopt
ing resolution urging the dismissal
of the Secretary and condemning his
official act. might be ratified.
At what time the Republicans will
give out their findings could not be
learned.

TWENTY-FIVE DROWNED.
Car Ferry Goes to Bottom In Lake
Michigan.

LudingtOn. Mich, Sept 9.-Twenty-
nine lives were lost near here today
when Pere Marquette car ferry No.
IS, bound from Ludington to Mil.
waukee, went to the bottom of Lake
Michigan half way across the lake.
The dead include Capt. Peter Colty
Of Ludington, S. f. Sezepanek of
Chicago, purser and wireless operator
whose signals of distress brought as
sistance to the sinking steamer and
two members of the crew of car fer
ry No. II, who lost their lives in an
effort to rescue the crew Of No. 49,.
Eli Colbean Of Saginaw, Mich, a
member Of the crew of No. IS, would
make a 31st victim but it is believed
he was not on board when No. IS
set out from Ludington on its fatal
trip.
The steamship company issued a
list of 35 names of survivors of the
wreck, all members Of the crew, most
Of whom were brought here on car
ferry No. II.
Eifht bodies were recovered, seven
being brought here on cary ferry No.
II and two being taken to Milwaukee
on car fiery No. 20.
Cause a Mystery.
The cause Of the disaster Is
shrouded in mystery. F. F. Pevin,
cabin watch. said the boat was very
low at the stern when the first alarm
was given. He said they pushed 2Y
railroad cars into the lake to ease the
vessel, but without avail. Seymour
Cochrane of Chicago. another sur
vivor, said he was reading a magazine
in his berth when cabin boy raped
at the door about 4:30 a. m. and
shouted that the bow was sinking.
Cochrane floated on a cabin door
until picked up by No. II. The purser
had given him $1,000 which was due
Cochrane's employers after they had
delivered the boat to the Pere Mar
quette company. But Cochrane could
not load himself down with the com
and tied the money to the stairs rail
as the boat went down.
Life Boats Wrecked.
Many Of the life boats were stove
in by wreckage, tumbling in every
direction on the tossing sea, the oc-
cupants Of the small boats being
thrown in the water and many
drowned.
The sum total Of the catastrophe is
told in the fatal figures. 29 lives lost
and the financial loss amounts 70
100000.

ROOSEVELTS NEW CODE.
Refuses to Sit at Table With Senator
LOrlmer.

chicago. Sept. 8.-COl. Theodore
Roosevelt, eX-presidcnt of the United
States, today barred William Lori
mer, junior senator from Illinois.
from the Hamilton club banquet at
the Congress hotel by refusing to sit
at the same table. The incident came
unheralded. The programme Of the
big even under the guidance of the
Hamilton club has for days announc-
ed that Senator Lorimer and others
would sit at the speakers table with
Col. Roosevelt.
Ihe occurrence startled partisans
here and over the State. The unpre.
eedented demand that the Hamilton
club deny to one of it's own members
the privilege of attending the banquet
came with characteristic abruptness
from Col. Roosevelt.
The Hamilton club delegation.
headed by Former Judge John III.
Batten, Joined Col. Roosevelt at the
fair grounds in Freeport, ILL.,, shortly
after noon.
The colonel shook hands heartily
with each member of the delegation
and at once begun questioning them
concerning the banquet.
us Speaker Cannon to be there p"
he asked.
Yes Mr.. Batten replied, "he has
accepted the invitation"
How about Senator Lorimer ?" was
asked.
Senator Lorimer is a member Of
the club" he was told, "and has ac-
cepted an invitation to the dinner"
"Then I must decline to CO." said
Col. Roosevelt, adding that he would
feel the same about the presence of
Senator Lorimer as he would of sit
ting down with members of the Illi-
nois legislature who are under in
dictment in the graft investigation.
The committee members looked
their amazement and finally, after
some hesitation, informed their
guests they would go back to Chicago
and tell Senator Lorimer his views
mo" Col. Roosevelt replied en-
phatically. Send a telegram tell
ing him that I will not attend the
dinner tonight If he is there"
The Hamilton club men were per-
picked but their embarrassment was
apparently not noticed by Col. Roose-
welt, who chatted with others stand
ing nearby. After some interval the
following telegram was drafted and
despatched to Senator Lorimer:
Colonel Roosevelt positively de-
clines to sit at the same table with
you. Our invitation to you for this
evening Is therefore withdrawn"
The telegram was signed by Judge
Batten.
The delegation which waited on
Col. Roosevelt to escort him to Chi
cago and the banquet hall this even
ing was taken completely by surprise
and their discussion Of the event did
not cease with the sending of the tele-
gram to Senator Lorimer.
Judge Batten, as the spokesman OF
the party. said the incident was a
complete surprise to him.
1.-The club had invited a number of
prominent Republicans, among them
the Republican governor Of Illinois
and various congressman, and it had
not occurred to the men who ar
ranged the dinner" said Judge Bat
ten, "they should not invite a Repub-
lican senator Under the circum-
stances there is nothing for us to do
but respect the wish Of Col Roose-
velt."
