TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
Another Investigation of the Lorimer
Senatorial Election Scandal.

Washington, May 22.- A prompt and
sweeping inquiry into new charges
against Senator Lorimer of Illinois.
growing out of the investigation by the
Illinois state legislature, was assured
today when the regular Republicans
decided to present in the senate late to-
day a resolution calling for the con-
duct of such an inquiry under the di-
rection of the senate committee on
privileges and elections. The Demo-
cratic senators will support the resolu-
ton which will be a sub for the LaFol-
lette resolution naming a special COM
mittee of new senators to take up the
inquiry. The Democrats held a caucus
this morning and decided in favor of q
resolution directing the inquiry by the
regular senate committee.
LaFollette had given notice that he
would call up his resolution today. Mr.
Dillingham;, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, will intro
duce the resolution agreed on today 1t
is probable the committee on elections
will be directed to conduct the investi-
cation through subcommittee.

He Claims Topeka Firms Have
Formed Combination.
MUST SHOW BOOKS.
Judge Dana Orders Officers to
Appear in Court.
Mayor Billiard Is One of Those
on List.

Jonn S. Dawson, attorney general,
today brought suit in the Shawnee
county district court to investigate the
affa1rs OF several Topeka ice companies,
whom he claims have formed a conbi-
nation for the violation of the anti
trust laws. Dawson filed with Judge
Dana a petition requesting subpoenas
Tor number of local ice manufacture
erS and to compel them to produce the
company's books and papers in court
Judge Dana ordered the clerk of the
court to issue subpoenas for the men
and set the hearing for o'clock Satur-
day morning.
Last week it was rumored that a
number of local ice companies had en-
price of ice to the consumers would
be increased. Dawson declared that
this move was in direct violation of the
antitrust laws and threatened to in
terfere If the ice dealers did not re-
form. The ice men replied that the
only increase in the price of CONCEALED
water was to the 10 pound purchasers,
who had formerly received more than
they paid for and were losing custom
ers SO far as the ice dealers were con-
cerned
In his petition Dawson recites that
he has reason to believe that various
persons, companies and corporations
engaged in the sale and manufacture
VI ICE III IOp6kd nave IOrmeQ an
agreement whereby the price of ice
has been advanced and controlled to
the injury of the buying public. He
| asked the court to order subpeonas
for the following persons and to COM
pei them to produce their books in
court: Charles Wolff, Clyde M. Law
renee, Vincent Kaczynski, R. F. Hod-
gins, w. F. Forbes. Robert Billiard,
]. B. Billiard, E. D. Benner. Dawson
was in consultation with Judge Dana
for several minutes this morning.
When he walked from the judges
chamber he had in his pockets the
courts order to produce the men and
their books and PAPERS. These sub
! peonaS were filed with the clerk of
! the district court and service was isl-
| mediately secured on the interested
| parties.
The ice men propose to fight the
| interference of the attorney generals
! Office and expect to demonstrate to the
court that they are not acting in viola
| ton of law. But Dawson is persistent.
He declares that the small purchaser
should have the same privileges as the
larger consumeru and will try to make
the naughty ice men be good. There
appears to be some pretty legal Ques-
tions as to just what rights the ice
companies really have and the court
will doubtless take a half holiday to
lisen to interpretations of conflicting
statutes.

AlRSHIP IS LAUNCHED.
England Builds One That Can Be
Anchored on the Water.

Barrow-In-Furness, Eng, May ga
Great Britain's first naval airship, the
construction of which has been sur
rounded by much secrecy, was sue
cessfully launched here today and is
now anchored behind wind screens
erected in the harbor. The airship
was christened the Mayfly. The air.
ship which is 500 feet in length is of
the rigid type, with a blunt nose
tapering to a pointed stern. A feature
of the construction is the provision for
two separate gondolas for the engines
The airship is specially designed for
naval purposes and can be moored on
the water.
The outer covering of the upper half
of the dirigible, which is 4S feet in
diamater. consists of silk treated with
special waterproof dressing over
which aluminium dust has been
sprinkled. The lower part of the bag
is of yellow silk treated with the same
waterproof1ng material but without the
aluminium. The frame work contains
eighteen gas bags filled with hydrogen.

ate fight between Mexican insurrectos
and Cinnamon at Torreon, 225 China

istrate Murphy this morning ordered
Bryan O'Hare and Victor Clore, who
have been held in the county Jail on
the charge of robbing the Southern
Pacific Overland Limited train on

TWO BlRD MEN COMING.
Jennie Ward and John Robinson to
Fly June 8 to IL.

Aviators Jimmie Ward and John Rob-
inson will fly on the 100 acre held I'M
mediately north of Vinewood park June
8, 9, 10 and II. A telegram was sent
this morning by Secretary H. L. Cook,
of the Kansas State Fair association,
to the Curtiss management, dehn1tely
accepting the proposition which hao
been made to the officials OF the fa1r
association.
on account of the fact that "Mer-
chants week" will be in full swing
when the event opens near Vinewood
if is expected that the double attrac-
tion will draw many thousands OF peo-
ple from all over Kansas.
A movement is on foot for sensa-
tional race from Topeka to Kansas City
bv the two aviators on the last day
of the meet. A number of Kansas City
flying enthusiasts have become inter-
ested in the project.
"Jimmie Ward" said Secretary H.
T., Cook today, ''is the most sensational
and daring man operating flying ma
chine at the present time. His Wonder-
full flights at Wichita should recon-
mend him. He has Just received from
the factory a nickel plated 90 horse
mower modern aeroplane, which is the
most up-to-date machine of the kind
in existence today. The other machine
will he a 40 horse power machine OF
modern type. The airships Will be Tar
superior to the craft which Bud Mars
manipulated year dSo' III
THE bird men will go through with
all sorts of maneuvers. There Will De
races between the machines, and also
altitude flights. On the regular pro-
gram each afternoon there will be four
flights.
IAN expert aviator was here and
looked over the 100 acre field imme-
diately north of Vinewood park, and he
pronounced it to be well adapted for
meet of the kind. There is no ROAD
near the field and on account of this
fact the police force necessary to guard
against the thrush of those who want
to see something for nothing will not
have to be as large as last year in con-
nection with the meet at the Taylor
tract.
Moderate admission fees will he
charged, and the management of the
Kansas State Fair association will give
the public an honest exhibition. In
case there are no flights on any special
occasion return checks will be given.
"It is possible that the baseball
games while the meet is in progress
will be held in the mornings instead of
the afternoons least an effort VIII
be made to make this arrangement
with the baseball management"
The Topeka Street Railway company
is making special arrangements to &C
commodate the thousands of people
who will attend the meet, and in fact
everything possible will be done for
the convenience of the people.

KANSAS GETS GOOD RAINS.
State Soaked and All Crop Prospects
Are Better.

Wichita, May 22.-Rains through
out this section Saturday and Satur-
day night revived hopes for the wheat
crop. which was beginning to feel the

men, and especially those returning
from the trade excursion of Wichita
business men, say that the farmers ex-
pect a record breaking corn crop this
year in southern Kansas. but that a

alfalfa are in good condition, more al
falfa being planted this year than
usual Farmers have found out its
| advantages as a forage and this is re-
sponsible for its popularity.
In Butler county, hitherto devoted
mostly to pasturing or corn growing, a
new grain has found much favor. 1t
| is kafir corn and hundreds of acres
are being planted to it this year. Last
season kafir was planted to consider
able extent on the rather barren up
| lands of Butler county and good crops
resulted. A brisk market was found
for the grain as kafir corn has scores
| of uses, chief among which are for
the manufacture of breakfast food and
whisky. A much larger crop has been
planted this year and encourages
| is being given the farmers by busi-
ness men in the county. Eldorado is
planning a kafir corn carnival, to be
| held some time in October. The price
| of upland in Butler county has in
creased somewhat since it was found
that kaf1r corn could be grown there
to such an extent. The season thus
far has been favorable tc kafir.
