ILLINOIS
SENATORS
ROASTED
LORIMER AND CULLOM ARE
ASKED TO RESIGN BY THE
UNANIMOUS VOTE OF A BIG
MEETING HELD IN ELGIN,
ILLINOIS, LAST NIGHT.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRp.l

Elgin, ILL.,, March S.-Senators VIII
liam Lorimer and Shelby M. Cullom
were fried roasted to a brown color,
then turned over in frying-pan Of
invective till done to crisp last
night at mass meeting in this city.
Resolutions demanding that the two
Illinois senators at once resign their
seats were adopted by unanimous
vote.
Rev. Milton B. Williams, pastor of
the First Methodist church Of Blgin,
threw a bomb of sensation into the
meeting when he charged that he
knew from a reliable source that
s625,00O had been expended for the
retention OF Senator Lorimer in the
senate; that Standard Oil and other
big interests had furnished the
money, and that one United States
senator, a leader in the fight for Lor-
inner had received Of this sum $780,
900.
Before / came to this meeting,
said Mr.. Williams, 4 was called up
on the telephone by gilt-edge Elgin
business man, man who has impor-
tant connections with flnanciers of
the first magnitude. He was unable
to come here, but he asked me to
make a statement for him. He said
that the enormous sum of $625,000
had been spent at the recent session
Of congress to secure the acquittal OF
Senator Lorimer, and that this money
had been put up by the Standard Oil
and other big financial interests.
"The man who made this statement
to me said he got his information
from flnanciers who ranked high, and
Is q man who knows exactly what he
is talking about He said he had not
particle of doubt as to the truth OF
the statement.
MY informant was told by one OF

est businesses in the land, and is

that Senator Lorimer had spent $685.

COLD STORAGE
or GAME WILL
Be STOPPED

Far-reaching effects are expected
in the enforcement of the Oregon
game laws, through the conviction, in
Justice 0lson's court, at Portland,
yesterday of A. NJ. Bickford, man
ager of the Hazelwood Cream com,
pany, on a charge Of having in cold
storage wild ducks out of season. The
defense that the birds were killed in
the open season was attacked in the
arguments, and was disregarded by
the jury. The statute forbids the
having in possession, regardless of
when or where birds were killed.
Game wardens say that immense
slaughter is done in the open season
with a view to storage in refrigerat-
ing plants, especially as the out-of-
season birds command higher prices.
Having brought the issue to test,
they will proceed against all places
where the refrigeration of protected
game is carried on.
Bickford was held guilty only of
having the birds in his possession
they being stored with his company
by other firms.
The defense argued that 1t was
necessary to show that Bickford had
guilty knowledge of the act of his
corporation, and the jury was so in
structed by the court. The prose-
cution fought this instruction, and
may carry the matter up for review
upon the legal question involved.
The jury was out for nearly two
hours before reaching a verdict. JUS
tice Olson imposed fine of 500.

GRAY HAIRS BANIsHEp.

The old idea OF using sage for darken-
Ing the hair Is again coming in vogue
Our grandmothers used TO have dark,
glossy hair at the age of seventy-fVe,
while our mothers have white hair before
they are fifty, Our grandmothers used
to make sage tea" and apply It to
their hair. The tea made their hair soft
and glossy and gradually restored the
natural color. One objection to using
such preparation was the trouble OF
making it, especially as 1t had to Be
made every two or three days on account
Of it souring quickly, This objection has
been overcome and by asking almost
any frst.class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur the public can get su.
periOr preparation OF sage, with the ad.
mixture Of sulphur, another valuable rem.
edy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily
use of this preparation will not only
quickly restore the color of the hair but
wiD also stop the hair from falling out

"The Man On The Box"

The average play made from a
successful novel or book is failure
because the dramatist cannot con-
sistently crowd into the drama the
host OF interesting details and Incl
dents that go to make up the value
Of the story. An exception to this
rule is the charming comedy 1.-THE
Man on the Box which Grace Living
ston Furniss has evolved from Harold
McGrath's immensely popular book
of the same name, and which scored
tremendous success for over 900 per-
formances in Chicago and New York
last season. The dramatist has re-
tained all the salient points of the
novel and woven them into a comedy
that reveals very pretty love story,
and is crowded with laugh prduCing
dialogue and situation. This comedy
will be presented at the Grand on
Monday March 1S by company Of
more than ordinary quality and with
most handsome scenic investiture,
"The Man on the Box" will be a
money maker for several years to
come. Prices, soc, 75c. $1.OO and

SIR WILFRED
LAURIER is
BROAD MINDED
MAKES AN ELOQUENT PLEA FOR
RECIPROCITY AND SHOWS HOW
UNITED STATES AND CANADA

IMAGINARY LINE.

Ottawa, Ont, March S.-The reci-
procitY agreement was endorsed, 10y
atty to Great Britain assured, annex
alton secuted, the development of
Canada proclaimed and friendship be-
tween farmer and manufacturer
recommended to Canada in the house
Of commons yesterday by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier prime minister of the DOM
inion, in the first speech he has made
in the reciprocity debate. His views
against annexation and for good re-
lations were especially emphasized.
The premiers remarks were received
by approving demonstrations.
Describing his ideal of the relation
ship between the United States and
Canada, Sir Wilfred said:
"There perhaps may be spectacle
Of two peoples living side by side,
separated only by an invisible line,
with not gun frowning across it,
not fortress on either side, with no
armament, one against the other, but
living in harmony, in mutual conf
dence and with no other rivalry than
generous emulation in commerce
and the arts of peace.
ITO the Canadian people 1 would
say that if it is possible for us to
obtain such relations between these
two young and growing nations, Can
ada will have rendered to old Eng
land, the mother of nations-nay, tc
the whole British empire, a service
unequaled in its present effort and
still more in its far reaching conse-
quences."

March 20, at which time 13 railroad
companies will make application to
be relieved from complying with the
amendment relating to the long and
short haul. The amendment provides
for mileage rate for short and long
hauls, and the railroad companies de-
sire to be. relieved of it's operation,
so that they may charge higher rate

DROPPED
FOR RUEF
is NOW NUMBER 24,911 AND WILL
LEARN THE USEFUL TRADE OF

SPORT.

San Quentin, Calf, March s.
Abraham Ruef entered San Quentin
prison at dusk last evening. He be-
gan his life of convict service last
night as No. 24,911 with Convict
Young, serving time for the murder
of Police Officer Hynes, of San Fran
cisco, and Cariella, up for grand lar
ceny, as cellmates.
George d. Collins, the San Fran
cisco lawyer serving IA years for
perjury, who is working in the tailor
ing shop measured him for a suit of
prison stripes.
Ruef, with several friends and the
officers who had him in custody,
Travelled from Sausilito by taxicab,
being delayed until nearly o'clock
by the bad condition of the roads. On
arrival at the prison the party
crowded through a curious throng
gathered at the gate. Ruef cheerful
ly nodded to acquaintances and again
to the prison officials within the
yard.
He was taken to the turkeys Of
fee, where he received his number
and cell assignment. He was not
taken to the barber shop for the rea-
son that he had his hair cropped and
his mustache shaved at the San Fran
cisco county jail, but he was turned
over to a convict for the regulation
bath given all newly arrived prison
ers.
He was then taken to his cell and
locked up for the night, having ar
rived too late for dinner. For the
same reason his Bertillion and De-
Pue measurements will not be taken
until tomorrow and he was also too
late to get his private mattress and
blankets tonight.
He has been assigned for duty in
the jutemill and will go to work to-
morrow forenoon, after few hours
liberty to learn the routine of the
place. By lunch time it is expected
his suit will be ready, with his num-
ber sewed on the breast of the jacket
and thenceforth he will be known by
that designation.
