TO CHANGE CRIMINAL LAW
South Dakota SoIon's Bill Is Radical
Innovation.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. Ex-senator Nor
beck introduced bill which, If passed
by the legislature, will resolutionize
criminal practice in the state.
Norbeck's measure would clothe the
prosecuting attorney in any criminal
action with legal authority to call at
tention to the fact that the defendant
had not testified in his own behalf in
the event of such an occurrence.
Such an act would be complete
the state and would set aside one of
the causes Oh which the supreme court
may grant new trials.

SEES NO PROOF
OF CORRUPT ACT
Senator Burrows Pleads to
Clear LOrimer.
DISCREDITS CONFESSIONS

Chairman of Committee on Privileges
and Elections, Which investigated
the Case, Declares There is Nothing
in the Evidence of AIRY or All of
Them to Justify the Conclusion That
the Charge of Bribery Is True.
Washington, Jan. 19.-"There is alb
solutely no proof in the case, direct
or Indirect from which legitimate
inference could be drawn that a sin
gle member Of the general assembly
was corruptly influenced to vote for
Mr. Lorimer."
This was the conclusion of Senator
Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan in
a speech in the senate defending the
majority report Of the committee on
privileges and elections, of which he
is chairman, confirming the right of
Senator William Lorimer of Illinois to
his seat in the senate
After summarizing the testimony of
Witnesses White, Link, Beckemeyer
and Holstlaw, Senator Burrows de-
clared:
1T is obvious that there is nothing
in the statement of any one of them,
or of all Of them taken together, to
justify a conclusion that their testi-
mony as TO bribery is true. or could
be relied upon in a matter even of
minor Importance"
Lorimer Not implicated.
"The Iabors Of the committee said
Senator Burrows, were greatly light
ened by the admission of the prosecu-
tion that ii was not expected to con-
meet Senator Lorimer with any acts
of bribery. There was no evidence
submitted to the committee or obtain
able, so far as known, inculpating
Senator Lorimer in the bribery or at
tempted bribery, if such there was, of
any member of the legislature Nor
was there any evidence that Senator
Lorimer had any knowledge whatever
that such bribery or attempted brib-
cry was perpetrated by any one.
"If Whites testimony is discredited
then practically nothing remains
which would cast any shadow of doubt
upon the right of Senator Lorimer to
hold his seat 1t is evident that the
testimony Of the other witnesses, who
claim to have received money from
Brown and Broderick, was purposely
shaped to corrobOrate Whites story

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number Of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Electric
Bitters, which destroy and dispel these
deadly disease germs from the system.
That's why chills, fever and ague, all
malarial and many blood diseases yield
promptly to this wonderful blood puri-
fier. Try them and enjoy the glorious
health and new strength they'll give
you. Money back IL not satisfied. Only

RAIL WAY LABOR
Presents PLEA
Asks Increase in Freight

of 25o,o00 Railroad Employees, Tells
Why, in Their Opinion, the Pro-
posed Advance Should BE Permit.

Higher Wages Are Probable.
Washington, Jan 19.-Speaking on

engaged in railroading p II. Morris

tors association, presented formal
statement to the interstate commerce
commission in support of the pro
posed advance in freight rates by the
railroads.
Mr.. Morrissey is the chairman of a
committee representing the employees,
Scores of petitions from various
branches of organized railroad labor
were submitted to the commission ad.
vocating an increase in the freight
rates.
In presenting the statement and
petitions Mr. Morrissey said:
These petitions and other expires.
sions were secured without conniv.
ance or coercion. They include both
union and nonunion men. They rep
resent the free expressions Of the en-
ployes.
''In no other industry in our country
is labor so largely employed as on the
railway and none in which so large a
proportion of its gross earnings goes
directly to labor Labor got $1,005
349,95S from the railroads in 1909
about Al per cent of their gross earn
ings 1t is estimated that labor will
get at least 100000 more when the
increases for 1910 are added. Manu-
featuring gave its labor but 81 pei

last year for which we find any sta
tistics.

They will still continue TO ask fol
more if the economic conditions of tht

"The wage standards of these
classes have been increased approx

Yet they have done but little, |
anything, more than keep pace witt
the increased cost of living
"They know, too, that transportation
has not been serious element in in
creasing the cost OF living, becaus.

Mr.. Morrissey reviewed briefly th'
adoption by the railways of equipmen
and appliances tending to the comfort
convenience and safety OF the EN-
pioyes, as we'll as Of the pubic. Al
these, he pointed out, cost immens'
sums of money.
