K0hlsaat Testifies

Springfield Ill., March 29.-Two inn portant points developed at today's two meetings of the senate bribery investi- gating committee
 The first was the refusal of Fl. H. Kohlsaat publisher of he Chicago Record Herald, to violate confidence and tell the committee the name of the man who Mir Kohlsaat says informed him that $100,000 had been raised to elect William Lorimer to the United States Senate.
 The second was the failure of former United States Senator Albert J. Hop kins of Aurora to appear in response to a subpoena issued by the committed and the issuance of further order to compel his attendance next week.
 The position taken by MT. Kohlsaat is said to have ben a great surprise to members of the committee. It also has confronted them with problem which many seem to think will be difficult to solve.
 Various members of the legislature say that MT Kohlsaat's attitude will have no little effect upon, the situa- tion. ts
 The temper of the committee was indicated in the instructions to At torney Healey to use force, if neces- sary, in compelling the attendance of former United States Senator Hopkins. Members of the committee insist that all those who have been or who have been subpoaened must come to Spring field and that no excuses will be ac- cepted.
 Attorney Healey is said to hold q considerable amount of new informa- tion bearing upon MT. Lorimer's cleo tion, which up to this time has not been made public.
 It is difficult to estimate the extent or scope of the investigation. Sub poenas are said to have been issued for 15O men, nearly all of whom have been prominent in Illinois politics.
 "Would you denounce any citizen who take the stand you have taken here?" asked Senator Burton.
 Any man who will violate conf dence is not worth a snap. 1 would not let my court reporter violate eonfi- dence No newspaper man can violate a confidence That is my code of morals, replied the publisher.
 The committee then went into an ex- ecutive conference.
 Before he was excused MT. Kohlsaat was informed by the committee that Its s>---->-~- istft~ --%

.LOR|MER MAY YET LOSE SENATE SEAT RumOrs Heard of Sensa-
 tiOnal Evidence A PUBLISHER TALKS Kohlsaat Says He Knows $10,000 Had Been Used as Bribe for
 LOrimer Votes-Refuses
 to Talk Further

Washington, March 29.-(Special. )-Th at William Lorimer, the blonde boss, is not yet out of the woods. regardless of the ''vindication'' handed out to him bs q close vote in the Senate was the pre- diction made here today by a senator who was one of the leaders of the opposition to his retaining his seat. This senator declared it to be his present purpose to introduced a resolution next week de- claring the Lorimer seat vacant.
 In discussing the matter today he is quoted as follows:
 We expect that specific testimony will come within the next few days telling who furnished the money to buy the Lorimer votes, who took it to Spring field and giving a new and much longer list of men who got it.
 "The facts in this matter were posi- lively known in the last days of the late session, but the legal proof could not be commanded in time for employment.
 We know that a man in Chicago, expecting that we might make a sudden move to force shis testimony, kept his bag packed for days, ready to start for Canada the instant we should move.
 The senational statements which Ed ward Hines made at Springfield yester- day are only the beginning The whole scandal is at last to be barred.
 ''Lorimer's right to his seat Is not res adjudicata. The Senate can open the question anew at any time. The new testimony connecting Lorimer's election with the lumber trust leading lobbyist and with the plans of the high tariff ad- n politicians will be more sen- sational than has yet been dreamed
 'I regard 1t as certain that Lorimer will be excluded from his seat. The changes in the membership of the Sem ate, together with the new developments in the case make this inevitable

Suffragettes Cause Fight n Which Their Banners
 Are Torn Up
PREMIER ASQUITH
 PLEADS FOR TREATY
Taft Sends Message Saying English Bible Is Greatest Bond Between the Two Great Anglo
 Saxon Nations

London, March 29.-At q great meet ing of churchmen and statesmen In Ai- bert hall this evening to celebrate the tercentenary of tho revision of the English translation of the Bible by a commission which completed the so- called King James version in 1611, Pre- mier Asquith and Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador, who were the principal speakers seized the opportunity to eulogfze on the arbitration movement. Suffragettes interferred with the pro- ceedings and when the prime minister be- gan they unfurled banners carrying the inscription. Votes for women." The banners were torn up after a free-for-all fight.
 In his address Mir. Asquith said: "Ths English Bible belongs not only to the subjects of King George, but to the whole Englsh-speaking world One of the truths which has been slowly realized and which now I believe is firmly rooted in the faith of Christian men and wom- en on both sides of the Atlantic, Is that war between English-speaking people woule be not only a crime against civil.
 
 these few commandments which are en- shrined in the New Testament on which both nations have been bred.
 'There surely could not be a more worth, more appropriate, more splendid monument of this tercentenary year than that it should witness the set. tling of a solemn pact between us which would put an end once for all to the hideoUs and unthinkable possibilities of fratricidal strife"
 Ambassador Reid Speaks
 Speaking of how the Bible furnished the strongest and most indestructibla bond for present practical unity in the aims and aspirations of the English speaking family, Ambassador Reid sais; While that community of aims and aspirations endures, starting as 1t does from our common possession and use of this book and supported by the same language, the same common law the same parliamentary institutions, the same civil rights and largely the sama blood, it is the greatest single guar. antee for the peace and progress of the world
 Tn fact" continued the speaker, from the men and from the peoples nurtured on the preceipts of this book and mainly on this version came the recent states man-like proposal of the President of the United States and the inspiring response of King George, through Sir Edward Grey which promises to make war as a settlement of any dispute henceforth be- fore any English speaking people, iin- possible and between any other civil. ized nations disereditable."
 The ambassador concluded by reading President Taft's letter.

 Who is this Mir Francis Lynde Stet- son?" asks MT. Murphy, and then he proceeds to ask if MT. Stetson is not the same man who organized as counsel the steel trust" the greatest piece of stock watering and stock jobbing in mod ern times and which is just about to be investigated by the Congress of the Unit ed States. Is ne the attorney at once for J. Pierpont Morgan and for Thos. F. Ryan? Is he the man who organized the Northern Securities company which the supreme court of the United States held to be illegal if not a criminal or ganization? Did he not organize the 1n- ternational Mercantile Marine-the ship ping trust; the rubber trust; the har- vester trust and other similar bodes?' Along this line Mir. Murphy proceeds with his attack listing a dozen corpora tons of which he declares MT Stetson was a director, and then adds: This man is not alone the representa- f4rst the interests-he is the personi- ! fcation Of the interests-he is one of the interests

 senatorship is not as recent develop rnents forecasted. Some of the insur- gents believe it means that negotiations between the Tammany leader and the insurgents have failed and that MT. Murphy believes the democrats outside the organization are on the point of joining with the republicans to elect an independent democrat"
 New York. March 29-When told of MT. Murphy's attack upon him tonight MT. Stetson said
 q don't care to have you read 1t to me, I am not at all interested in any, thing MT. Murphy has to say about me. Mir Murphy is entitled to form and ex- press any opinion of me he sees fit. l think he is largely justified in his re- sentiment"

like a big sum for one hog, but the
fact is the amount is not up to the

$4,000 MOURN FIRE VICTIMS
LONG LINE MOVES SOLEMNLY
THROUGH STREETS IN RAIN.
Marchers in Tears Fall to Knees as
They Approach Scene OF Disaster.
Men and Women Embrace.

NEW YORK-Rain reduced to
less than $4,000 today the army of
| 100000 workers who had planned
| to march in memory of the victims
of the Washington Place factory
| fire, but what the storm took away
in numbers it added in solemnity.
The demonstration will long be re-
membered by those who took active
part and by countless thousands
who came to look on, but uncOn-
sciously found themselves joining in
the wave of mournfuI emotion which
swept the line of march.
simultaneously with the removal
from the morgue for burial of the
eight collins containing unidentified
victims of the fire, in which 144 lives
were lost, workers poured from
sweat shops and garment factories
throughout the city and formed in
line at uptown and downtown
starting points. Neither division
took part in the procession, but
marched only as a demonstration,
while the eight unnamed dead were
borne 10 q resting place in a city
plot.
The downtown section was head
ed by 500 men and women employed
by the Triangle Waist Company, sur
vivors of the fire, and when they
turned into Washingto Square
where so many of their comrades
met death one young woman broke
forth into a wall of mOurnfulness
that swept he entire throng, even
to the onlOOkers.
Meanwhile the uptown division
had been trudging south. and the
two sections poured into the square
and met. Hundreds if not thous-
ands burst into tears. Many knelt
in the wet streets in prayer, and
women and men embraced and
wept.
The uptown marchers, fanked by
spectators, spread back for twenty
blocks, and the downtown line was
fully as long. Each person carried
small American flag draped in
crepe. Now and then the line was
broken by bedraggIed banner let
tered: eve mourn our loss"
The bodies of the unidentified
dead were buried in Evergreen Gem
etery, where services were conducted
in three faiths, Jewish, Catholic and
Protestant.
