THIRD DAY FOR DENEEN.
Governor Still on the stand in
LOrimeF Case.

Washington, July 15.-Governor
Charles S. Deneen of Illirois, who fig
ured in the Lorimer fight, again testi-
fed today before the senate Lorimer
committee. It was the third day of
Governor Deneen's occupancy of the
witness stand and it was expected that
he would conclude before adjourn
ment. The hearing opened with a dis
cussion of the alignment Of the fac
tiOns in Illinois politics in connection
with the senatorial contest
Mr.. Hanecy suggested that none of
the followers of Chauncey Dewey or
John r. Thompson voted for Lorimer
until after a senatorial ccnfereSce held
in the governors office. Mr. Deneen
replied that the purpose of that meet
ing was to prevent their followers from
voting for Lorimer. Governor Deneen
said that before the publication of the
alleged White confession, Editor Kee-
ley of the Chicago Tribune suggested
to him that a special session of the
legislature be convened to consider the
Lorimer case. The witness said that
probably after the publication he ten
tatively wrote a message proposing a
special session. At a consultation with
his advisers. however, the conclusion
was reached that the investigating
committee probably would consist of
the men who were guilty and the spe-
cial session was not called.
Governor Deneen told of being in the
office of the Tribune the night the
White story was printed. He said he
read practically the first copy printed
and walked out with it hidden under
his vest. He explained that he had
been warned that everyone leaving the
building that night would be searched.
Whites reference to the $4,000 loss
to the corruption Jack pot because
of the governors vetoing one bill was
taken up. Governor Deneen said he
had examined his vetoes and guessed"
White was referring to the Corpora
tion bill, revising the corporation laws
of the state. Governor Deneen said he
vetoed it because it allowed "a barber
shop to incorporate and buy a rail-
road
The witness said a large number Of
the leading lawyers of the state had
seen him in behalf of tie bill.
Did Mr.. Bancroft, general counsel
of the International Harvester COM
pany, see you about no. vetoing the
bill?' asked Mr. Hanecy.
Il do not recall whether he called
before or after the bill vas passed. .
The witness added tha. he did not
know whether Bancroft favored the
feature of the bill which was objec-
tionable to Deneen.

Inquisition Friday Doesn't Clear

Judge Sapp's Testimony Was

for Harmon Club.

Out of all the mass of evidence taken
Friday at the attorney generals in
QUESTION no new fact of Importance
was established, and the only point
made out of all the Cherokee charges
of graft was that the system of fees
in connection with law enforcement Is
wrong. And yet some particular in
ducement must be offered to get evi-
dence and convict jointists. The pa
role system was abused in Cherokee
and in many cases unreliable men con-
Quoted the raids on the joints. No Won
der it has been hard to keep the lid
on in that wet county. The general
charges made by Judge Sapp, a judge of
the district court, were startling, to say
the least. The distribution of joint
fixtures over town following the raids
was a mockery of the law.
Conditions in Cherokee were undoubt-
edly worse than elsewhere in the state.
But after all, no definite or specific
charge was made against the law en-
forcement officials. The general allega-
ton that some of them had become rich
as a result Of the fee system may be
true. At $50 per it ought not to be
hard to get rich
All the agitation and talk about
Cherokee looks on the surface to be
bunkum, but it is pretty sure to bring
about reforms and improvement in acon-
ditions down there. Custer and injunc-
put the jointist out of business every
time. But out of the fee system al
ways come charges of graft.
The governor and the attorney gen
eral VIII go to the supreme court to
thresh out the question of authority.
The Cherokee sheriff is pretty sure to
be ousted. The governors agents will
continue to work IN Cherokee. The
three cornered fight between Judge
Sapp the attorney general and the gov

Cherokee may yet be dry.
