Baked Cabbage.
To bake cabbage so that even it's
enemies will tolerate it, first cook it
tender in sailed water, changing the
water three times Then chop it, put
it into a buttered baking dish, turn
a cupful of white sauce mixed with
grated cheese over it, cover the top
with buttered bread crumbs and bake
until the top is brown.

SURPRISES COME
INLORIMER PROBE
"Jackpot' Traced to Office OF
Big Corporation.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago, April 2s.-The activities Of the
Helm committee in probing alleged byi-
Senator Lorimer to-day brought out three
unexpected developments.
II appears that there Is a New York
contribution to the ALLEGED 100000 bribery
jackpot. which the comittee has not yet
been able to reach because Of the State
boundary limit to its powers Of subpoena.
The committee has reason to believe that
the Lorimer seat was sold over again.
and that certain collectors declared q
handsome personal dividend on the deal.
According to a Springfield man. who Is
close to the Helm committee, that body.
through its investigation, is certain that
the entire fund used in the interests OF
the Junior Senator did not come from
Illinois sources. It has traced one large
contribution to the inner Official circle OF
one of the largest trusts this country
has ever known. but so far has failed to
find the Illinois connecting link that
would turn the information into compe-
tent evidence.
An interesting phase Of the alleged brib-
cry matter. which has not yet come to
public attention. Is that more money was
actually raised among the combinations
Of capital interested in tariff manipula-
ton than was actually spent at Srping-
field. In ohter words, the Helm COM
mietee has reason to believe that the
seat Of Mr. Lorimer was bought for q
certain price and I"sold'' to the interests
at a much higher figure.

DEFENSE HAS TEST
WITH DYNAMITE
Attorney Says Times Explo.
sion Was of Gas Origin.
tshington Herald

Special to The Washington Herald
Los Angeles. April s,-The first intima-
ton of the defense to be made by ]. J.
Mcnamara and his brother. James B.
Mcnamara, accused of dynamiting the
Los Angeles Times Building, was given
tonight by Job Hartman. their counsel
The government Bureau of Mines. Mr..
Hartman stated, has made a test of
dynamite from the factory at which the
explosive alleged to have been used is
said TO have been purchasd. and found
that it will not set fire to gas.
The test demonstrated. 1t is said, that
inks and oils would not be set on fire by
this dynamite. and that the explosion
could not have been followed by sheets
Of flame had this particular explosive
been employed.
On the other hand. an explosion of gas
would have set fire to the inks and oils
and would have been followed by flames.
The sum virtually pledged already by
the American Federation Of Labor upon
the basis of a per capita assessment
reaches the total of $4,000. President
Meyer, of the Miners Federation, has
promised S. from every member, an ag-
gregate of s250,000. The San Francisco
union men are good for s1o0O0 the Los
Angeles organizations 100000. and from
other bodies of uDionists is expected
enough more TO fill out the enormous

PRESIDENT FILLS
THE GERMAN POST
Name of Appointee Withheld
at White House.

Callers at the White House yesterday
learned that President Taft has selected
the Ambassador to Germany to succeed
DR.. David Jayne Hill. The White House
will not make public the new Ambas-
sador's name at this time.
1t can be said authoritatively, however.
that the new Ambassador to Berlin Is
not Lloyd w. Griscom. who resigned Fri
Gay as president of the New York County
Republican committee. or James w.
Wadsworth, former speaker of the New
York assembly, who is supposed to have
teen urged for the appointment by Will
lam Barnes. jr. The impression in Wash
ington is that the post will go either to
3 man already in the diplomatic service
or to one of President Taft's close
friends
Thomas ]. O'Brien, the present Am
tassador at Tokyo, is desirous Of being
transferred from that post, and his quail
fications have been urged strongly upon
President Taft. The friends Of Charles
H. Sheriff., Minister to Argentina, also
have been after 1t, and there has been
considerable talk of Larz Anderson. OF
this city, who at one time was secretary
of the London Embassy. He is one of
the Presidents close friends.

the left forearm before the dog was
finally beaten back.
The dog went to Lincoln avenue and
turned again. On 136th street, near the
corner, were Mrs. Mary Lingen and her
two-year-old daughter Gladys. The dog
jumped on the child and bit her on the
right leg.
The mother tried to kick the dog away.
but was caught by vicious snap on her
right leg.
Frank Mccarthy, one of those pursuing
the dog, ran ahead and tried to choke the
dog He let go when the dog wormed his
head free and caught Mccarthy right
hand between its Jaws.

bolted for dorways and stores when they
saw the dog.
At 137th street Michael Condor, a

The little Powers boy. confused, stodc
in the street and the dog made for him.

At the time Of the accident there were
only three passengers aboard. They sum-
moned the ambulance from the Homeo-
pathic Hospital. and the injured mon were
hurried there for treatment.
Policemen Addison. Owens, and Lud-
low, who were looking for some boys
who turned in q false alarm, were in
the vicinity when the accidene occurred,
and they arrested the motorman and con-
ductor. The street car came through
the mixup with nothing but the fender
and front dashboard battered, and several
panes Of glass broken.
A great crowd gathered. and q rumor
that several men had been killed went
like wild-fire through the neighborhood.
1t was seen, however. that, with the ex-
ception OF Policeman Rector. who was
Knocked unconscious no one had been
fatally hurt. In fact, the other four who
escaped death SO closely were able to
walk without assistance. After the men
had been taken away for medical aid.

Petty. seeing the crowd gather, pushed
his way In. and was almost Mortified to
find the body Of his son lying mangied
and bleeding on the pavement. He took
him in his arms, and hurried for q physi-
clan. while four or five men threatened
to handle the driver. Had II not been
for the timely arrival of Policeman Hew-
lett and Humane Oficer Wright. who ar
rested the negro and quieted the mob.
II Is probable he would have received
harsh treatment. 1t was an excited per-
son who telephoned to the Second pre-
cinct for reserves, which were not needed
and which met with such q disastrous
end.
The lads injuries are not coAside1ed
dangerous, and he was sent home after
