LA TOILETTE FLAYS
LORIMER LOBBYIST
Edward Hines Called Rank
in His Campaigning.

Senator La Toilette, in the third in
stallment of his speech in support of his
resolution for another investigation of
the Lorimer case. yesterday bitterly at
tackled Edward Hines, head Of the So
called lumber trust, who has been ac-
cused OF having raised a fund for Use in
accomplishing Lorimer's election to the
Senate. Senator La Follette pictured
Hines as a lobbyist Of the "brazen and
impudent" type.
He caused a stir in the Senate by in
timating that Hines and his lieutenants
had been at work In the campaign which

Mr.. La Toilette did not mention Sena-
tor Stephenson by name. But he made
it clear whom he meant.

United States and to the country" ex-
claimed Senator La Toilette, that Ed

business. though his work is often rank
and coarse. During another protracted
Senatorial contest, which was likewise in
volved in scandal, his henchmen were no.

When all honest men were in doubt as
to the outcome, one Of Hines agents
boastfully foretold days in advance the
hour of election and the exact result
And his principal agent, who was a resi-
dent of Wisconsin-that is the State to
which I refer-has not dared to remain
since that time within the borders Of the
State"
Hines himself has denied the charge
that he raised money for use in Lorimer's
election. Senator La Toilette, however,
declared that Hines interest in the Lori
mer case was clearly shown when Lori
mer was threatened at the last session.
The Democrats Of the Senate are in a
tangle as to how they will vote on the
reopening Of the Lorimer case. and as a
result Minority Leader Martin has called
a caucus for this morning to consider
the subject. Most of the new Democratic
Senators are opposed to the resolution
offered by Senator Martin, which directs
that the investigation be made by the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions.

KING L|T|GANT"
Of TWO STATES
KEPT IN ASYLUM
Harrison Wagner Is Refused
Habeas Corpus Writ.
CAREER Is UNEQUALED

Harrison Wagner, the eternal
litigant," as he is known in the Dis
trict, Maryland, and Virginia, and
an inmate of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane, has been re-
fused the writ of habeas corpus
asked for by his counsel, Attorneys
R. P. and T. R. Hit.
REFUSED BY CLABAUGH.
Chief Justice Clabaugh, who refused
the writ, ordered an inquisition into the
mental condition of Wagner. who, few
years ago. committed perjury in connec-
ton with one of his numerous cases be-
fore the courts. Sentence. however, was
deferred at the time by reason of a jury
finding him to be of unsound mind and
committing him TO St Elizabeths.
Later Wagner was paroled in the Gus
tody of his brother, a resident of Ohio,
on the theory that the patient had inn
proved, but not that he was mentally re-
stored. The personal recognizance of the
prisoner was taken by the court to await
sentence, which has never been imposed.
Wagner returned to this jurisdiction
against the order of the court and JUS
tice Gould ordered him returned to the
asylum on the original commitment,
holding that DR.. White acted without au-
thority in conditionally releasing Wag-
ner.
Wagner is known in the District as
the eternal litigant,'' while in Mary
land and Virginia the people who know
him call him the king Of litigants." The
courts of the District, Maryland. and Vir-
ginia have been burdened by lawsuits
Wagner has instituted.
Years ago ne is said to have had a
career in Maryland unequaled in the his
tory of English or American jurispru-
dence. Those against whom he brought
civil actions are legion. After duping
the courts and Justices of the peace in
Maryland, his native State, until his list
of names was exhausted, he invaded the
District for further operations. The
deputy marshals here We're soon busy
serving Wagner's writs upon unsuspecting
victims He went over to Virginia, where
he repeated his operations.
Judgments by Default.
Wagner is known TO have collected few
Of these judgments, but not because of
his failure to try. He went from place
10 place getting out executions against
his victims. In most instances it never
became known TO the defendants that
they had been sued. until it was too late
Judgments in most cases had gone
against them by default.
Nearly all the innocent parties pleaded
they had never been notified of the pend
ing suit His persistent efforts in sew
eral cases in Maryland and Virginia to
collect judgments for big sums resulted
in the suits being carried to the higher
court, where his gigantic scheme was laid
bare. The story. as reported in the Of
ficial records of Maryland, has been re-
ferred to by lawyers as the romance of
the law.

STYLES DISCUSSED
BY LADY GORDON
Dictator Of Fashion Talks of
the Harem Skirt.

New York, May 24.-Lady Duff Gordon.
wife of Sir COsmo Duff Gordon. arrived
to-day from Europe and is at the Ritz.
She was full OF new modes for women.
She says that the harem skirt never was
thought of seriously by the fashionables
of London and Paris. and that what
little vogue it did have has entirely dis
appeared.
rs it true that Queen Mary has taboo
ed tight skirts and elbow sleeves and
large hats" she was asked.
she may taboo them for the royal
family. but that is about as far as her
influence in matters of style will extend.
You see, our Queen sticks to style of
dress that has been affected for ages
by her family and she isn't a wearer
Of the mode. l made clothes for her
when she was the Princess of Wales,
but they were her styles, you see and
not mine. 1t is recognized in England,
and we don't I'm the least mind what the
royalties wear-it doesn't in the slightest
affect fashion.
Queen Alexandra always affected a
small. old-fashioned toque, but it never
was the vogue in England In the fash
ionable ladies'. So IL Queen Mary chooses
to wear full skirts and long sleeves when
others are wearing short sleeves and tight
don't think that our fashionable women
will be guidei much by the Queen in
matters concerning style.
We haven't what you Americans term
hobble skirts which are frightened in
and about the lower part by bands and
such things. What is being worn is a
tight, straight skirt. and oh. so short
near to the high shoe tops; and, by the
way. the shoes most favored for street
wear now in Paris are patent leather
with white or gray upper parts. The
skirts show most of the tops
THE little short Jackets are so tight
that / call them uniforms. The fashion,
able women Of Paris on the street to-day
look SO much alike as soldiers because

black and white. or combinations of
black. gray and white.
Hats are either enormously large or
very small, almost entirely concealing the
hair. Aigrettes and all sorts OF curious
plumes and trimming of feathers are
worn"

THE COLUMBIAN DAILY
Building and Loan Company

For the past three weeks a Ger
tain business man has been canvas
sing Ellensburg and city to asCer-
tain the moral and financial atti
titude of the citizens to the form
ing of local building and loan
company. He has found there is
a very strong sentiment in favor Of
launching the proposition at the
present time and apparently all that
is lacking is some one that under
stands the business to take the
initiative in the organization and
keep it properly managed.
The planof organization propos-
ed is an especially good one to be
used at this time and is adapted to
local conditions. 1t is Cliimed that
conditions here are exceptionally
favorable to such an institution and
that it would prosper from the
start and build up re 'olving

lively small capital that would be
increased in the regular course of
business by organizing methods of

THE LEWIS AND
CLARKE EXPEDITION

By April L. ,s05. the largest
boat was we'll filled with relics and
specimens. map, of the country
and letters to the president and
friend, On the 9TH OF the month,
the escorting party babe farewell
and started for the mouth of the
river with the last word heard from
the expedition for eighteen months.
The remainder of the party now
loaded their canoes and resumed
their pilgrimage up the river. In
Nav, they reached the Yellowstone
killed their first bear, and caught
their first glimpse of the noun
tains. The river was now to
crooked and rapid for oars and too
deep for poles, so they had to pull
the beats by the aid of lines, often
being drenchcd in the icy waters.
Many times their canoes were over
turned and all supplies soaked,
and on one occasion nearly all the
medicine was lost, the want OF
which latter caused much suffering.
At one place two rivers came to
gether and they were undecided as
to which to follow. They ex-
plored one for some distance, but
decided it was leading them in the
wrong direction, and there were
no signs of coming nearer to the
great falls they believed they
would find, So they returned and
assembled the other branch On the
fourth day they came within sound
of this mighty cataract. A month
time was lost at TIE falls, as a de-
tour of about twenty miles over an
impossible waste of boulders was
necessary. They hid the largest
boats and buried all but the most
necessary of the baggage. Both
Lewis and Clarke and some of the
men were i'll, and no medicine
with which to treat them. Finally
the explorers came to where the
river runs between perpendicular
walls of great height; these they
named The Gates of the Rockies. y
A few miles farther up. one of the
men stood with one foot on each
side Of the little rivulet and
''Thanked God that he had been
permitted to live to bestride the
Missouri for the last time and
passed over the divide.
Travelling down the western
slope, they encountered a tribe of
Indians. a council was neld,
horses purchased and a guide Sc
cured. The chief told them that
the small stream they were follow
ing would not be of use for their
boats, and a. long trip must be
made to reach a navigablc river.

Garments from the skins.
With all Ieherson'a careful at
tcntion TO detail, a ship to meet

they were compelled to rctracc
that long Journey across the CONT
nent When the time to START for
home. they took an inventory, and
found shat one man could easily
carry all the goods on hand. Each
man had his gun and plenty of
powder. This was their capital
for the return Providing against
possible failure 20 reach home, the
commanders made short sketches
OF vha, they had accomplished,
and gave them TO several chiefs to
be- given to ANY trader, who might
stop ON those shores. that IN case
of the death of the explorers. at
least one copy might reach the
President. one of these copies
did reach Washington City, by
way of china, several months after
the explorers had reported in per
son to the President By the mid
die of March, all was ready for
the return journey, but, as the
snow would lingcr long in the
mountains, they decided to spend
some time i'll the valleys collecting
food for the return trip across the
mountains By the time they had
reached the mouth of the Snake
River. their supplies were nearly
exhausted, as it was too early in
the spring for much game The
friendly chief of the Walawallas
gave them food and horses. and
told them of shorter route across
the mountains, but the snow was
yet too deep to allow them to pass.
Captain Clarke took nine men
and went the shorter route, led BY
an Indian guide; while Lewis,
with the remainder of the party
returned by the old trail for the
purpose of securing the boats and
provisions hid away several months
before, and the two parties were
to meet again at the Falls of the
Miss ,uri.
On August Sth, the party was
reunited, and preparations were
made for the descent of the mis-
souri,. After they had travelled for
several days. thev began meeting
hunting parties all of whom told
the explorers that they had long
since been given up as lost. On
September %, 1906, they were
welcomed at ST. Lewis. Although
they had travelled more than eight
thousand miles, being beset on
every hand by untold dangers from
mountain wilderness and turbulent
rivers, wild animals and wilder
men, they lost but one of the party.
The first thing was to send a
message to the President, but as
there were no East trains or tele-

Lame and weary, the little band
pushed on over another divide into
the land of the Nez Perces The
sudden change to warmer climate
and the abundance of fish as food
caused much sickness. As soon as
their weakened condition permit
ted, councils were held, and
Twisted Hair, the chief, volun-
teered to accompany them as far
as the Columbia.
On October eth, they embarked
on the Columbia. Many Indians
hocked to the banks of the river to
gaze upon those mysterious beings
who were thought to have dropped
from the clouds. When any game
was shot, the Indians were awed
by the thunder and lightning
which the strange men could pro-
duce for the purpose of bringing
down game. The peace pipe
was produced and when Clarke
lighted it with sun glass, they
would not touch The fire that
came from heaven. The last
rapids were passed about the first
of November, and the little canoes
sailed out upon tide water.
They were surprised at the tropi-
cal vegetation. Traces of trade
with white men also appeared in
the form of faded bits of cloth
faded jackets. etc. Here were also
the first wooden buildings seeu
since starting on the trip. Hoping
to meet some traders, they hurried
on, hardly stopping for food or

For several weeks, the men

coast to find suitable place for
winter quarters. At last they found
a place by a spring where there
was plenty of fuel and game. The
weather was so warm that meat
would not keep and they could not
dry it, so they had to make trips
to the ocean to secure salt from
the water. They spent most of
