When Grover Cleveland's little girl
was quite young, her father once tele-
phoned to the White House from Chi-
cago and asked Mrs. Cleveland to bring
the child to the phone.
Lifting the little one up to the in

expression change from bewilderment
to wonder. and then to fear. 1t was
surely her fathers voice, yet she looked
al the telephone incredulously.
After examining the tiny opening in
tbs receiver the little girl burst into
tears.
"Oh, mamma" she sobbed, "how can

Several Big Surprises.
The committee was surprised when
Edward Hines, millionaire president of
the Hines lumber company, testified
and named the president as being indi-
rectly responsible for Lorimer's cleo
ton. They were amazed when Herman
H. Kohlsaat, the Chicago publisher.
testified and intimated that he had the
key to the mystery. They were as
founded when Clarence S. Funk, man
ager of the International Harvester
company, told the first connected story
of the alleged 100000 "sIush fund.-"
gave the lie to Hines and brought in
the name of Edward Tilden, president
of the National Packing company, as
the man to whom the "slush fund.-
money was to have been sent.
Funks statement duplicating Til
den was probably the most unexpected
of all the disclosures. When asked
point blank for the name of the man to
whom mines had told him to send the
Doodle money, he was startled and re-
pleaded that the man who had been re-
ferred to was a man Of high standing,
a man whose integrity had never been
impeached and that he had no proof
that the charges implied were true. The
committee insisted on an answer
Funk Strengthened in his chair as If
to answer, but his courage failed him

chairman Helm. It was probably the
most dramatic moment since the in
vestigation opened. Funk hesitated
again and then blurted out: We'll, /
will answer, under protest. He told
me TO send the money to Ed Tilden."
It was shortly after that that the
committee went into executive session
and then adjourned until tomorrow.

But the lid is supposed to be only

follow the session that begins tomor-

year ago when the first public intima-
ton Of corruption in connection with
the election of LOrimer was made. I'm
til a dozen days ago, however, practic-
ally no evidence had been brought out
in any of the Investigations that per-
tanned to the source of the money
which was used in the alleged bribing
of the Democratic members of the ILL
nOis legislature. However, the Helm
committee has started out by striking
directly at the beginning of things and
already has made greater progress than
any Of the previous Investigations.
For II months after his election, SEN
ator Lorimer's sailing was about as
smooth as that Of any member Of the
upper house of congress. His tran
guilty was not disturbed by any hint
of graft until the morning of April 80.
lastFyear when a Chicago newspaper
printed an affidavit signed by state
representative Charles A. White, say
ing that he had been given $1,000 by
representative Lee O'Neill Browne, mi
nority leader of the legislature, and
representative Robert E. Wilson to
vote for Lorimer for senator. The ac-
cusation came like a thunderbolt out
of a clear sky and the sensation 1t
created made Lorimer the most talked
of man in the country.
Two days later, on May 2, a special
grand jury was impaneled in Chica go
under states attorney Waymon to
probe the charges. Representative
White informed Wayman that he was
ready to go before the grand jury and
tell all. On May representative H.

He is ready now to make a fresh

He takes the barrow from Juan and

gets the mold ready. It is an Oblong
frame of wood, in three compartments,

This he washes carefully with a rag
dripping with water, taken from a
pail nearby. Having done this he lays
it down fat on the ground, and close

Then he cautiously dumps the barrow
of mud over the top of the mold Now
he works rapidly, working the plastic
mud with his bare hands, pushing it
into every cbrner of the three COM

it thoroughly. And in the midst of
this work he suddenly. by deft move

until October s. The committees evil
dence was all in and reported to the
senate on December 81, the day before
the Christmas recess of congress, that
the charges had not been proved. SEN
ator Beveridge of Indiana and senator
Owen of Oklahoma, however, prepared
minority reports disagreeing with the
finding Of the committee and, on
January 9. they presented these in the
form Of motions. that senator Lorimer's
seat in the senate be declared vacant.

January IS, and continued to be one
of the sensational features of the daily
program in the senate until the first

Sanitary Reform Craze Has

"HE craze for sanitary reform
which has been sweeping the
country, resulting in sanitary
