AN ECHO OF THE
 LORIMER ELECTION
Two Found Not Guilty of Conspiracy
 to Defame States Attorney.

Chicago, March 22-Attorney Charles B. Erbstein and Arthur Mcbride, who for two weeks had been on trial on charges of conspiracy to defame States Attorney Wayman were found not guilty today by a jury which was out less than an hour.
 The case grew out of an affidavit filed by Mcbride with the Chicago Bar association, charging that States At tory Wayman told him to fix a ju- TOT in a criminal case in 1908, in which Wayman appeared as counsel for the defense. Wayman charged Erbstein with having conspired with Mcbride to file the charges.
 End of the Lorimer Scandal.
 The case resulted from the second trial of Lee O.Neill Browne, charged with bribery in the election of United States Senator William Lorimer, and it's termination marks the end in Cook county courts of litigation having it's inception in charges that the seat in the senate was purchased.
 The only conviction during almost a year of constant litigation was that of Detective Patrick Keeley, who had GUS tody of Representative Beckmeyer, a witness in the Browne case. Keeley testified falsely as to orders given by Wayman's assistants for Beckmeyer's S treatment.

ASKED s5OOO FOR BACkuS HOSPITAL
Convincing Arguments Made Before Committee on Ap- propri,ons for Renewal of Appropriation from State No Opposition Develops.

ed. Extra expenses, however, are com polling the hospital to again seek such assistance.
 Deputy Comptroller Bisseli Speaks.
 Representing the comptroller's office, Deputy Comptroller Bissell appeared before the committee to state, that the hospital for years up to 1905 had had such. an appropriation as was being asked. He also spoke of the surprise once created in the comptrollers office over the fact that the money was no longer being taken, this being quite unusual.
 Hospital Under Good Management.
 Rev. Samuel H. Howe also spoke in favor of the renewal of the appropria- tion. He told of how an appropria- ton committee visited Norwich when aid was first asked for the Backus hospital and of how they were inn pressed as to the wisdom of making such an appropriation. Rev. MT. Howe also cited to the committee that the hospital in all of the seventeen years since it WAS established has been in charge of men who represent the best financial interests of the city; that their management had always been careful and conservative, and that not one dollar of the institutions funds had ever gone astray.
 Frank w. Woodland emphasized the fact that increased expenses were the special cause for asking a renewal of the appropriation and urged that it be renewed. ..
 Committeeman Ask Questions.
 Members of the committee asked the Norwich gentlemen various questions as to the hospitals sources of revenue and conditions under which patients are admitted, not, apparently, in an attitude of hostility, but more with a view to becoming familiar with the facts in the case.

 Hartford, March 22.-Convincing ar- guments a to why a renewal of state aid at the rate of $5,000 a year should be granted to the William w. Backus hospital at Norwich were presented to the appropriations committee of the general assembly Wednesday after noon. The increased expense of main taining the hospital was shown to be the cause of asking that appropria- tion again be made and the fact brought out that when tho appropria- ton was voluntarily relfnquished in standing that it might again be se- cured if necessary.
 Rsvsnuss Not Now Sufficient.
 winslow Tracy Williams told of the experiment of trying to get along possible Gin 1905) to do, and, believing that possible, 1t had not been thought just to continue taking such state aid. For time the revenue was sufficient to meet the expense of maintaining the hospital, but at the present time it is lnsufficient. so state aid is again to be asked. The hospital is now facing the necessity of making large expendi- lures in providing necessary improve nents. including the installation of a new heating plant and piping, and has met other unexpected and extraordi- nary expenses that have depleted its funds.
 Extra Expenses Have Been Enkailed.

NO IMMUNITY BATH"
 FOR CHICAGO PACKERS
Judge Carpenter Refuses to Quash In.
 dictments Against Them.

Chicago, March 22.-Judge George A. Carpenter, in the United States dis trict court, in refusing today to quash indictments against ten Chicago meat packers, placed a limit on the free dom from liability granted the pack CTS by the Immunity bath given by Judge Humphrey in 1906.
 He also ruled that the immunity bath" did not prohibit the facts and evidence on which 1t was granted from being used as evidence to establish proof of conspiracy existing at a date after the immunity was given.
 The ruling, from which there is no appeal, means that the packers will have to go to trial on indictments charging them with conspiracy to vio- late the Sherman antitrust law. There are three indictments in the first of which are five counts.
 The defendants can be fined $5,000 or imprisoned for one year on each of seven counts.

Foremast of the Oceanic Splintered
 Outside of New York Harhor.

New York March 22-With her fore mast rigging carried away and the saloon skylights smashed, the trans atlantic liner Oceanic arrived today with a story of bolt of lightning which rocked the ship suddenly yes- terday morning.

The mast sp1intered down to the main truck and it, with the wireless and other rigging, came down upon the saloon skylights. The debris narrowly missed the bridge on which the navi- gators were standing, and the force of the lightning jared the ship.
 Many passengers were aroused, but their excitement was soon allayed by the stewards and they returned to their statefOoms.

CAT SURVIVED ATTACK
 ON THE OLD TEXAS.
Walked Out of Turrst After the Bonn
 kardmsnt Was Over.

Washington, March 22.-These arc some of the things that Secretary Mey- CT saw when he boarded the San Mar cos between volleys yesterday:
 The dummies representing sailors in the fighting top of the ship unscath- ed, notwithstanding the great number of volleys fired at the ship. This was . tribute to the excellence of the gun pointers work for they were ordered to conhne their fire to the hull and turrets.
 Shelis Cause Interior Fire.
 A raging fire inside the ship caused by the explosive shells which penetrat- cd her sides and made 1t impossible for the observers to go below the main dock to ascertain the damage.
 A shell somewhat broken inside of the coming tower, whose nine inch steel wall 1t had pierced on one side. This was not an explosive shell
 A number of holes clear through the hull from one side to the other, the greatest damage being done on the fur ther side of the ship. None of these holes, however, were through the H. inch armor belt.
 Animals and Fowl Killed.
 Some dead animals and chickens Killed by the interior explosions. Some of the animals, however. were unharTn- cd. A cat walked quietly out of one of the turrets, whose base had been smashed by the Fl inch shell.
 The further experiments to be made with the ship will be confined to at tacks on the armor belt and turrets. No effort will be made to raise the San Marcos. It would cost several hundred thousand dollars to float the ship and restore her to her original condition, and she is tnot worth it.
