PLOT TnICkENS IN LORIMER
Continued from page ~
fluence votes in the Illinois legisla-
ture which elected LOrimer.

Today's session of the committee
began with Attorney Haney, coun-
sci for Senator Lorimer, questioning
Hines further about his trips to New
York last winter When the Lorimer
election issue was pending before the
senate. Hines testified that on one
of these New York trips he called on
E. H. Gary of the United States Steel
corporation to see about the process
of stock in the Colorado Iron COM
pany. Suddenly, at instance of coun-
sci, Hines produced shee of paper
without letterhead and without sig
nature or date, but which Hines swore
was in Boutell's handwriting. This
little sheet contained these words:
II should like to have Senator
Knox, who was the only man in WASH
ington who went to the president in
his behalf and bring off (Sic) the
goods"
Hines declared that the senator re-
fused to be referred to as Senator
Lorimer and that his election to the
senate was subject of note. The wit
ness explained that he was sure his
explanation, because a little while
after he got the note from Boutell he
had conversation with him which
cleared up the matter

our foreign trade outlook is the de-
clines that have been announced in
leading descriptions of cotton goods
which would seem to indicate that
manufacturers are discounting the
probability of decreased cost of pro.
duction when the effect of the bump
er cotton crop becomes mort effec-
tive.
: This favorable export outlook for
our agricultural products is of dis
t1nct interest in conenction with any
calm view of the market for stock ex.
change securities. Official figures Eave
become available this week showing
the movement with foreign countries,
inward and outward, of merchandise
for the fiscal year ending with June
80. They show that our exports of
merchandise reached the unparalleled
total of $2,O4S,691 1892, which is an
Increase of no less than $500, FOG, 672
over the corresponding total of the
preceding year; while our imports for
the same period decreased $28,962, 345.
Inc important feature, however, is
that the value of our merchandise
sent to foreign countries exceeded
that which we received from abroad
by the unexampled total of $500. 7O6,-
3O4. This total, reinforced by sub
stantial expectation of American Sc
curities, means that gold will I'm.
doubtedly come this way as soon as
the demand for it here is sufficient to
justify the movement. In the mean
time, there is no reason to change the
opinion l have expressed in these ad-
vices several times of late that sup
plies of funds are ute adeuate to
guarantee a comfortable money sit
uation-a situation that will not be-
come an adverse influence in the
stock market we'll into the new year
at least. If it should be found that
even a small money strain were in
at the height of the crop
moving period, such strain would
automatically be relieved either by
an inward movement of the precious
metal or by equivalent exchange op-
erations that would not require the
actual movement of the metal.

FREEPORT, L. L-Pocketed by a
trolley car and an automobile moving
in opposite directions in Atlantic
avenue, near Bedell street, two young
! girls and an infant we're seriously in
jured today when they were run down
by touring car driven by Mrs. Lew
Hearn, who. is known on the vaude-
vile stage as Bonita. To save the life
of the baby they were wheeling in a
carriage the two girls risked their own
lives.
THE INJURED
Combs, Alvin, infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Combs, Freeport; lacera-
ton and bruises; condition not serious.
Combs, Miss Addie, seventeen years
old; leg broken and jawbone fractured
in two places; condition critical. :
Soper, Miss Edith, thirteen years
old; probable internal injuries, cuts
and bruises; condition serious.
Hearing the warning of the horn of
the automobile, which was approaching
them from the rear, Miss Combs and
Miss Soper turned to the left with the
baby carriage, only to find their way
blocked by trolley car which was
coming at full speed from an opposite
direction. Becoming frightened, the
two girls tried to turn to the right,
but Mrs. Hearn could not bring the
automobile to sudden stop. Seeing
that they could not get out of the path
OF danger without deserving the infant,
both the girls stood their ground and
were knocked unconscious by the heavy
touring car.
WOMEN GIVE AID.
Although the two girls had succeeded
in warding off the full force of the
blow, the baby carriage was upset and
almost completely demolished.
Women in the neighborhood who had
witnessed the accident ran to the mar
row roadway expecting to find that

Yell Down Presiding Officer
in PdrlimeDt

LONDON, July 24-Scenes of wild
disorder marked the session of the
house of commons today. A half dozer
times the Premier rose to move a con-
sideration of the Lords amendments to
the parliamentary bill, and each time
he was howled down by a din so ter
rife that the speaker had difficulty in
making himself heard as he appealed to
both sides to observe parliamentary de-
cOrurn.
Again Asquith essayed to speak, but
was unable to prevail against the up
roar. After trying vainly for three
quarters of an hour to get hearing,
Premier Asquith cut short his projected
speech amid the hubbub and declared
that if the Lords would not consent to
restore the veto bill, even with reason
able amendments to substantially its
original form, the government would
be compelled to invoke the exercise of
the royal prerogative in the creation
of new peers.

ONLY STRAW BLOCKADE
SAYS OUR government
10y Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Without
any known resources to make it's de-
cree effective, the aHitiaon govern
ment intends to declare Fort Liberte,
Goniaives and Saint Marie blockaded.
She has served notice to that effect
upon the United States. These ports
are in the hands of the revolutionists
and American Minister Furniss has
informed President Simon that the
paper blockade" will not be recog-
nized and that the government must
actually blockade these ports to give
its course international force. The
only naval vessels Haiti is known to
possess are the gunboat, Antoine ST.
mon, formerly steamer; Consul Bru-
stuck; yacht "American," recently
purchased in this country and trans.
formed into a gunboat. 1t is doubt
full that any effective blockade can
be maintained.

BEACH, N. D., July 24.-Tonight
just across the state line, two miles
west of Beach. a new town will be
born. The sponsor of the new town
is one Mr.. Rucker of Wibaux. Mr.
Rucker is something of a philanthro

The name of the new town is to

Mondoka is to be the base of sup.

Beach is in North Dakota, which
is dry. Mondoka is in Montana,
which isn't.
Mondoka is so close to the state
line that man can't walk between
the line. which is imaginary, and the
Mondoka thirst emporium, which is
real.
There is to be a grand opening at
Mondako tonight. Everybody will

entertainment and various kinds of re-
freshments. including all such family
beverages at gin fixes. rye highballs,
ard other well-known life-giving tonics
will be served at the vanished bar
provided for such purposes.
There may yet be slight hitch in
