BAILEY DEFENDS LoRIMER.
Senator Thinks Illinois Legislature Not
the Only Ono Corrupted.

Washington, Feb. 4~-Replying to
Senator Roots attack on Lorimer, Sen
ator j. w. Bailey Of Texas said that
If the Illinois senator was to be ex-
cluded ON account of general corrupt
conditions in Illinois politics, then his
colleague, Senator Cullom, would prob
ably be subject to the I'm process Of
elimination, for 1t could probably be
shown that the legislature which elect
sed him was also corrupt. MI. Bailey's
remark was called out by an observa-
ton of. Senator Hale that the testi-
mony In the Lorimer case showed a
shocking condition of corruption In the
illinois legislature.
Senator Root declared that Senator
Lorfner sheuId be excluded from hia
seal because Of corruption by which
his election was brought about. SEN
ator Root spoke for ore than two
hours, and his speech made a profound
impression on the senate.
Following che eenclnsion OF MFR.
Roots speech Senator Bailey, Senator
Hepburn and Senator Paynter defend.
ed the report Of the committee IN priv
ileges and elections, OF which they ara
members, and deciared that the testf.
mony before the committee showed
that Senator Lorimer was entitled to

MONEY
OUT OF SAFE
"Faitie" Arrested on Charge
of Bijou Theatre Manager.

Charged with opening the safe at
the Biiou theatre at various times
and extracting small amounts to tbs
total of s14.47, Elisha Owens, nine
teen years old, of 391 East avenue
an employe OF the theatre, better
known as "Fattie," was fined s25 b.
Recorder Kehoe when arraigned last
night. The fine is to be paid In five
monthly insta1lments.
Upon Owens agreeing to refund
the money, Manager j. F. Ernst
withheld prosecution Of the case,
Some of the money taken, which had
been marked, was found or the boy
and he also admitted the theft. How
Owens was able to work the combin-
alton on the safe is q mystery, az
Manager Ernst was of the impress
sion that he himself is the only per
son possessing the key.
For a week or SO money in small
amounts had been missed from the
safe. Where 1t went to was a mys-
terry. II the dial Of the comblna.
tion vas left at 60, the next morn
Ing it might be at 20, showing that
1t had been tempered with, and incl
dentally a couple Of dollars would
be gone. The thief to avoid suspic-
ion would not take the contents OF
the safe, perhaps 800 or more, but
would take only a few dollars, trust
ing perhaps that the shortage would
not be noticed.
One night a chair was placed In
front OF the safe and the mex.
morning it was moved and d small
amount had been taken. Thursday
night after all the employees OF the
theatre were supposed to have left
the building a light was noticed In
the Office. Upon an investigation
all was quiet. Yesterday it vas dis
covered that the safe had been tam
pered with again.
Manager Ernst then took all this
money out of the safe except SIS,
which he impressed with the Bijou
stamp and placed in his bank book.
He then went out while several 9TH
er employees were working in the i'm
mediate vicinity, the safe was again
entered and on Mr.. Ernst's return
he found only Sill in the bank book,
two of the marked bills having been
taken.
The situation was reported to De-
tective Sergeants Long and Huff and
they we've told that suspicion seemed
to be on Owens. Owens was ap-
preached. admitted taking the
money and said that one OF the pro-
prietors of a local restaurant was

POWDER CAUSE
THE EXPLOSION
Chemist Says Dynamite
Couldn't Have Exploded.


New York, Feb. 4.-The explosion in
which thirty men were Killed In Jersey
: City Wednesday was not due to dyna.
mite. as at first believed, but 70 the ex-
plosion Of 10000 pounds of black gun
powder, according to DR.. Walter @
Hudson, a chemical expert In the of
fees OF the Dupont-De hours company.
III any dynamite was exploded at
an," DR.. Hudson said, 'the amount
was very snail, perhaps only a few
sticks"
Five of eight men who were served
with warrants by the Jersey City po-
lice, charging them with m~anslaughter
and with violation OF the city ordi-
nance of 1906 regarding permits for the
handling OF combustibles, have so far
surrendered aud Will be arraigned TO-
day In the Second criminal court, Jer-
sey City. Counsel for the remaining
three have promised that their clients
will be In court at the scheduled time.
The granddaughter charge against the
eight men Is In connection with the
death of Mike Maneir, one Of the VIC
Tins OF the explosion.
Contrary to our orders and prac-
tice," DIR. Hudson said, when the ex-
plosion took place Wednesday, noon
there were 10000 pounds Of powder
aboard the Katherine w. while the
dynamite was being carried o The
Katherine w. does not belong to our
company, but was under contract to
carry from pier Z a shipment OF dyna-
mite to q stea mship at Gravesend.
The dynamite then was to be taken to
agents OF ours In South America.
Investigations show also that from
the nature OF the explosion and its eff
fects that the explosive was not dyna-
mite, but black powder. Contrary to
popular belief. black powder Is more
dangerous to handle than dynamite.
Black powder win explode at any tenn
p%erature, whereas dynamite will not
explode IL frozen, and dynamite freezes
at a temperature much higher than Is
necessary to freeze water. The tenn
perature on Wednesday was around 4b
degrees #. Consequently we know
that the dynamite was frozen and
therefore could not explode. What
ignited the black powder we do not
know
Hudson Maxim, Professor Munroe
and Professor Robert Peele OF Column
bia also said that it Is almost impossi-
bic to explode frozen dynamite.
