WILLIAM L0RiMER IN
HIS OWN DEFENCE
He Explains Why SO Democrats Voted
For Him-Senate Seat
May Be Saved.

Washington. - William Lorimer, OF
Illinois, arose in the Senate and deliv-
cred a notable speech in his defense.
The accused Senator reviewed his en-.
tire life from his humble beginning as
a bootblack and newsboy on the streets
Of Chicago to his election finally to a
seat in the United States Senate.
In telling his story Mr.. Lorimer dis
closed the secret OF his career and the
methods by which he has built up his
powerful political organization in the
city of Chicago. 1t was the story Of
the rise of a political boss, told with
details that impressed every Senator
According TO Senator Lorimer's story
kindness to others was the foundation
upon which his political power was
built. Befriended as a newsboy in Chi
cago by one of the very men who fig
ured in his election to the United
States Senate, he learned early in life
how much could be accomplished by
doing good deeds for others, and he
tried to practice that through life. He
had found work for the unemployed,
succored the needy, protected the per-
secuted Jew peddler, kept his word in
politics, and upon his friendship had
founded his political organization.
The most of this story Senator Lor-
liner told by way OF explaining why
the SO Democratic votes were cast for
him for United States Senator by the
Illinois Legislature. He declared that
"a of these votes came to him purely
on the ground of friendship and that
these "a Influenced the remaining 10
Democrats to support him. With up
lifted hand he denied upon his word
as a man and Senator that he had
ever resorted to bribery in any cleo
ton or had ever had any knowledge

INTERSTATE COMM ERCE
DECIDES AGAINST ROADS
Declines to Allow Increases Of Rates
Companies May Take
an Appeal.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission has decided unani
mously against the railroads in the i'm
portant increased freight rate cases that
have been pending for several months
The decision of the commission IL
sweeping beyond all anticipation, ever
by the shippers. 1t declines to allow
a single increase by the 60C or more
railroads in the East and the Middle
West 1t throws aside as unsubstan
tiated the contention Of the railroads
that they must have increased reve
nues 10 meet the increased cost OF
equipment and operation, and by its de-
cision cuts off between $50,000,000 and
S60,000,000 a year in revenue which
the railroads had expected 10 realize
from the proposed increases.
The commission orders the carriers
to cancel the proposed increases by
March 10 and notifies them that in the
event of failure an order will be en-
tered continuing the present rates for
two years, thus preventing the carriers
from making any changes III that
period. The railroads may now appeal
to the newly created Commerce Court.
While the decisions handed down by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
apply only to the railroads in official
classification territory and in the ter
ritory between the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers, they indirectly affect
practically every railroad in the United
States. The decisions are the most
important and far reaching ever hand.
ed down by the commission. Through
the decisions the commission goes
unanimously on record as opposed to
the general tendency throughout the
United States to raise freight rates.

A professor of English at Columbia
university doesn't seem to be afraid of
slang. In fact. he says a good deal of
the so-called slang is good English; If
not today, then it. will be tomorrow.
One of the words he was discussing
was Joint" used to denote a gambling
house The professor is correct. The
English language was not created in
a day, and given TO the world in fin
ished state, says the Dayton News. No
other language is, for that matter, but
the English, possibly more than any
other, language, is still growing, and
it grows through the use of what is
called slang, quite as readily as
through any other process. New in
dustries and inventions naturally add
words to the language. The automo-
bile business has been responsible for
many of them. Aviation is to add, and
is adding, its other thousands. Every
new line of human endeavor enlarges
the vocabulary. But greater even than
these accretions to the language is
that which comes from what we call
slang.

THE LossTER's POPULARITY.

During the year just past the fish
ermen of Maine caught and marketed
19,936,542 Holsters, an excess of 2,0O0,.
600 over the catch of the preceding
year and of 5000, 600 over that Of the
year 1905. This increased catch has
been made possible mainly by the
work Of the Boothbay Harbor hatch
cry, which has hatched out and lib
Grated in a single year as much as
140,000,000 small Holsters. The fire.
quently announced scarcity OF lobsters
can, therefore, be attributed 10 the
growing popularity of the lobster him
self. There is a vast difference be-
tween the amount which the Maine
fishermen received for their catch last
year and the price that the patrons of
the lobster palaces Of Broadway ana
elsewhere have had TO pay for the
same article. The fishermen received
only $2,145,204, or a little over ten
cents per pound and for that sum
they must keep and tend their traps,
maintain steam dories and encounter
many hardships and dangers, says the
New Orleans Picayune. After the lob
ster leaves the hand of the fisherman,
however, its value increases by leaps
and bounds. The wholesaler doubles
the price and the retailer trebles 1t,
while the restaurant man marks 1t up
many per cent. more, so that what
costs ten cents when sold by the fish
erman, costs $1.50 when eaten in the
lobster palaces of the great White
Way.

I'VE are now nearing the end Of the
fifth week OF balloting," Mr. Littleton
wrote in his letter, "and it does not
seem at all likely that either Mr..
Shepard or Mr.. Sheehan will be
chosen. l have made up my mind to

Legislature of the State, and in doing
so | wish the members and the people

$4,000 JEWEL
THEFT AT SEA
Former Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr.,
Loses Pearls, White and Black.
STOLEN FROM STATER00M
Strict Search Of Ship and Crew Made
-ValuabIes Taken From State
room, Where They Were When
Mrs. Drummond Retired.

New York.-An unusually daring
and clever robbery Of jewels valued at
$4,000 was successfully carried out
on board the Hamburg-American liner
Amerika while nearing this port, the
victim being Mrs. MaldWin Drummond,
who before her marriage to a banker
in London in September, 1908, was
Mrs. Marshall Field, ir., Of Chicago.
The theft is one Of the most battling
some years, and there appears TO be
no clew TO the theft. Strict search
was made of the crew and the ship.
If the robbery was committed by one
of the passengers the chance of the
gems ever being recovered is remote
for when the steamship was made fast
at Hobo';en everybody was permitted
to leave without question.
The robbery was discovered when
Mrs. Drummond arose and went to
look for the gems, which, before re-
firing, she had placed in the drawer
of desk in he.' stateroom and covered
with a handkerchief. They were gone.
Discussing the robbery later, Mrs.
Drummond declared that she had left
the door of her cabin open when she
went to bed at half-past nine o'clock.
She had slept soundly and said she had
heard nobody enter her stateroom.
The robbery and the mystery attend
ing it caused a sensation on board the
steamer and when one Of the Ham.
burg. American line tugs took n Hobo
ken detective down the Narrows to
meet the incoming vessel it was
thought every one of the 1850 passen-
gers in the steamer would be searched.
But the mother of the two boys who
inherited more than $100,O000O0 from
Marshall Field. merchant prince of
Chicago, refused to consent to a sweep
ing search of this character, and said
she would rely on the skill of the
American detectives to get the jewelry
back.
Here is the list of jewels stolen from
Mrs. Drummond, as reported to the
police:
One necklace Of white and perfectly
matched peals, consisting Of 2S3 pearls,
in three strands and valued
at $4,000.
One black pearl ring. the pearl sur
rounded by diamonds perfectly white,
and each weighing about a carat and
half; valued at $4,000.
One large white pearl, set in ring
and surrounded by diamonds, perfect
ly white, and each weighing about a
carat and a half; valued at $4,000.
One black and pink pearl brooch, set
alternately with large and perfectly
white diamonds of about two carats
each, with a large black pearl pendant
pronounced in Europe TO be one of the
finest pieces of its kind ever manu-.
featured there; valued at $4,000.
Two black pearl earrings, surround.
ed by large diamonds, white and per-
fectly matched; valued at $4,000.
Total, $4,000.

were offered while the Agricultural
Appropriation bill, carrying $l7,O00,000,

Hale asserted that the prognostica.

he said, as large amount of money is
expended on the service it should be
more efficient.

Uncle Sam closed the fiscal year
with a handsome surplus instead of
the deficit that had marked some pre-.
ceding periods. And the second half
of 1910. which was the first half of the
new fiscal year, has shown a big re
duction in the shortage that is always
expected as a result of large expend
itUre during such months. If present
tendencies prevail, however, receipts
will increase relatively from now on,
and the fiscal year ending June so
next will show a surplus still larger
than that of 1910.
