Are Driven Ashore.

Highland Light, Mass, Jan. Ii
Fourteen men, comprising the cap
tains and crews of the coal barges Cor
bin, Pine Forest and Treverton, bound
east. in tow Of the tug Lykens. were
drowned today. The barges were driv-
en- ashore on the Peaked Hill bars
early in the day, and within a few
hours a gone to pieces.
A 50-mile gale directly from the
north was blowing, and made the
Peaked Hill, on the knuckle OF the
cape, the worst kind of a lee shore.
Two life-saving crews stood on the
sands powerless TO launch the boat or
reach the barge with a life line. At
3 o'clock two bodies had ben thrown
up on the beach. both with life pre-
servers on, which were stenciled
"T~reverton."
The Treverton was the largest barge
Of the three, and carried a crew Of
six men, with Captain +. I. Brown, Of
LincolnVille, Me-, in command. She was
bound to Portland. The Corbin carried
a crew of four men and was command
ed by Captain G.. NJ. Smith, OF Phiia-
1elphia. She was bound TO Portsmouth,
". n.
The Pine Forest, which was the
smallest OF the tow and carried four
men, was commanded by Captain M.
w. Hall, of P"rovlncetown, and was
bound for Marblehead, Mass. The
Lykens, after losing her tow, was
finally compelled to steam into
oroVincetown.

CRAWFORD MAKES
A SENATE SPEECH
AGAINST LORIMER
Methods Of the Blond Boss
and His Henchmen Are Sub
jected to Most Bitter
Denunciation.

Washington, Jan. 11.-In an exhaus-
tive speech Senator Crawford, of South
Dakota, today denounced the alleged
methods employed by agents of Sena-
tor William Lorimer in the legislature
of Illinois, and declared it to be his
conviction that Mr.. Lorimer was not
entitled to retain his seat in the upper
branch of congress-. More than usual
interest attached to the speech because
Mr.. Crawford took a stand directly OPP
posed to that Of his colleague, Mr.. Gam
BILE.
In the face of Mr.. Lorimer's repeated
proteStations OF innocence, Senator
Crawford fatty charged that the latter
was cognizant Of the questionable prac-
tees of his lieutenants.
Lorimer Knew of Bribery.
II regret to say it." declared Mr..
Crawford with emphasis, but / am
personally convinced that Mr.. Lorimer
knew enough about what was gong on
ut Springfield to put a reasonably
prudent man upon inquiry; that Shurt-
left and Browne were his political
agents. and that he ratified their
actions and accepted the fruits of their
corrupt practices of which he must at
least have had some knowledge and
that he was not legally and duly elected
to a seat in the Senate OF the United
States by the legislature of Illinois"
Senator Crawford began by review
ing the testimony taken by the Senate
subcommittee on privileges and cleo
tons, which was instructed to inquire
into charges against Mr.. Lorimer. The
evidence, in his opinion, showed con-
clusively that the election of Mr.. Lori
mer was the outcome of q carefully laid
plan beginning with the election of
Edward Shurtleff, whom he described
as a bitter enemy to Senator Hopkins
and a political henchman Of Mr.. Lori
mer," to be speaker Of the legislature,
and Lee O'NeilI Browne to be the leader
of the minority.
Party. Principles Forsaken.
"A game was being played said Mr..
Crawford, "ln which at the very begin
ming all party principle was abandoned,
the expression of the party vote at
primary unceremoniously disregarded,
and the control of the house was seized
by INSCRIPTIONS and u~nprincipled men
with dark lantern schemes to promote
The senator said the evidence Of al
legged bribery proved to his satisfaction
that money was used in the garnering
Of votes for Mr.. Lorimer. Shurtieff
and Browne were the active agents in
the campaign of corruption, commended
the senator, and he charged that Mr..
Lorimer was aware OF what was trans
piring.
Bears No III Will.
81 wish / could believe that he
did not" he said, because I bear him
no Ill will, and would not do him the
smallest injury or injustice knowingly.
But / cannot overlook the fact that for
days and nights Immediately preced-
ing the 26th of May, 1909, when these
corrupt and tainted votes were cast for
him, he was in Springfield, directing
his own campaign; that he was in al
most constant conference with Lee
OtNeii Browne and Speaker Shurt-
left. and they reported progress to
him."
Mr.. GRAVEYARD concluded by
Ing that he stood ready to vote for q
resolution to unseat Mr.. Lorimer.

PHYSICAL VALUATION
DEMANDED BY THORNE
Declares Commission Should
Now Demand Power to
Make Appraisal.

Washington, D.. c., fam. n.-Clifford
Thorne, of Iowa, today made the OPEN
ing statement for the shippers I'm ar
gument of the case of the eastern rail-
road increases. He referred specifically
to the increase OF rates on live stock,
~reserying the right to include other In
creases in his argument later.
He outlined the Issues at stake and
insisted that as a basis for testing the
adequacy OF the existing rates and the
justice or the increases proposed, there
must he a physical valuation of the
roads. He pointed out that no evil
dence on which to base rates had been
submitted by the railroads in the en-
tire case. He said the roads were bas-
ing their claims for higher rates on
capitalization and both the supreme
court and the commission had rejected
capitalization as a basis for rates.
He urged hat now was the time for
the commission to demand Of congress
that it be clothed with power to make
railroad valuations. He said valuations
ought to be mad on the lines laid down
In the Consolidation Gas case. among
others.

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition Ii
Western Canadian Prairies.

SO much is heard Of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and SO much has
been told Of the wealth to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the %succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains. that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Cat the head Of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241, 900 bushels OF
fax valued at $583,220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2S8,000 bushels valued at $720, 600.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There Is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many Of these are available within
short distance Of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land com
panies ct reasonable prices.

grains in the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration Of what tho country can

Of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year

iuce excellent yields of wheat, oats

Strong Guarantee

We guarantee immediate and positive

In every case where our remedy fails to
do this we win return the money paid US

and we want you to substantiate them at

Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like

agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness or other undesirable effects.
They have a very mild but positive ac-
ton upon the organs with which they
come in contact, apparently acting as a
regulatiye tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel, thus overcoming
weakness, and aiding to restore the bow
els to more vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies are indispensable and
ideal for the use of children, old folks
and delicate persons. We cannot too
highly recommend them to ali sufferers
from any form of constipation and its
attendant evils. That's why We back our
