Writ of Habeas Corpus
Granted to Men Ar
rested in Illinois.
'CASE is APPEALED
However, 1t Will Stop for the
Present Investigation of
Lorimer's Election.

Chicago.-Judge Petit Saturday
granted the writ of habeas corpus
asked by Edward Tilden, president
of the National Packing company.
George NJ. Benedict, cashier of the
Drovers National bank, and William
c. Cummins, cashier of the Drovers
Trust and Savings bank of Chicago.
Attorneys of the state at once gave
notice of an appeal to the state SUI
preme court.
Tilden was reputed to be the Gus
todian of the 100000 fund alleged
to have been raised for the election
OF William Lorimer as United States
Senator from Illinois.
Tilden and the others were direct
ed by the state Senate committee in
vestigating Lorimer's election, to
produce the committee their books in
order to permit the committee to as
certain whether or not any checks
had been passed that would indicate
contributions to the 100000 "slush
fund" They refused to produce their
books and we're arrested on warrants
ordered by the Senate, upon charges
of contempt.
The writ of habeas corpus was
asked on technical grounds by attor-
.neys for the accused men.
AS a result of the judges action,
the three men will not be obliged to
show their books to the Senate COM
mittee, and the Investigating COM
mittee will probably disband.

POLITICS AND WOOL
CAUSING THE BREACH
CHAMP CLARK'S PRESIDENTIAL,
ASPIRATIONS ARE PUTTING
THE DEMOCRATS IN BAD
FOR GOOD WORK.

Washington, D. ca deadlock
due largely to presidential politics
exists among the Democrats of the
House ways and means committee
over the character of the bill revis-
ing the wool schedule, and it is
probable the controversy will have
to be settled by a Democratic caucus.
The chief point at issue is whether
raw wool will be placed on the free
list or a moderate duty left on it.
With this is involved, of course, the
extent of the cut to be made on
wooden manufactures, and with
both the important questions of rails
ing revenue is involved.
At the last meeting of the COM
mtttee a vote taken on the free wool
proposition showed that nine men,
bers were for it and five against it.
The nine were Peters of Massachu-
sets, Harrison of New York, Hughes
of New Jersey, Kitchin Of North
Carolina, James of Kentucky, Hull
of Tennessee, Dixon OF Indiana, Raj
ney of Illinois and Randell of Texas.
OF the five against free wool, Under
wood Of Alabama, chairman; Palm
err of Pennsylvania and Shackelford
of Missouri, we're for a moderate
revenue duty, and Brantley of Geor-
gia, and Hammond of Minnesota
were for a duty that was considered
protective.
Loss of Revenue the Cry.
The argument against placing wool
on free list, advanced by Chairman
Underwood and other advocates OF
a moderate duty, was that the re-
moval of all duty would near a loss
of about 20 millions revenue annual
ly. The loss of revenue through reci-
procity with Canada is estimated at
about S millions annually, and If
the farmers Free List Bill should
become a law there would be a fur
Their loss of Ito millions. This loss
of 35 millions in revenues, Chairman
Underwood and his supporters con-
tended. would be greater than could
be borne by the Treasury.
At the time the vote referred to
was taken by the Democrats of the
way and means committee 1t was
known that a heavy majority Of the
Democratic membership Of the House
favored free wool. But since then

A&so. Az the debate In the
house developed such an attack on,
the measure as was made late yester.
day by Representative Hil OF Con-
necticut, a republican memDer of the
ways and means committee and
of the leading republican advocates
10: the Canadian reciprocity bill. Mr..
Hill asserted that the bill devised by
the democratic leaders removing the
tariff duties from many food pro.
ducts and manufactured articles
was so crudely drawn and SO indef-
mite in it's terms that no estimate
could be made of the revenues it
would cut OF or the effect it would
have on business and commerce. He
said that instead of a $4,000, 900
reduction in revenues as the demo-
Gratis expected it might make, a re-
duction of $50, 900 would surely
occur and that its effect on business
would be to transfer many -four
fishing industries to Europe.
You intended to hit the trusts
said Mr.. Hill to the democrats, "'you
will wake up to find you have in fact
helped the trusts; taken away the
revenue of the government and put
the money into the pockets of the
trusts instead of into the pockets OF
the people whom you claim to be
helping"
Mr.. Hill explained that the Inter.
national Harvester company, the
large sewing machine companies and
other great manufacturers, would be
able under the democratic bill to
manufacture parts of their machines
abroad cheaper and bring them into
this country to be assembled here by
cheap labor. Mechanics and skilled
labor wou.- suffer loss of employ.
ment, he said.
He declared that the democratic
bill was so general in its terms as tc
admit almost anything free of duty
Wooden goods, all kinds of wire, al
sorts of fabrics, zinc, lead and pie
iron were among the things he men
toned. Mr.. Hill attacked the bill
for making many manufactured pro.
ducts free of duty,-shoes, harness
saddles and the like-while leaving
a duty against the raw materials
that American manufacturers have
ito import. He said also that in at.
tempting to make free of duty the
bagging used to wrap up cottor
bales, the democratic bill would lei
in free the bagging used by the fer.
%tilizer trust, the cement mills of the
United States Steel company and by
iother monopolies, which would give
no corresponding reduction in prices

FELL 700 FEET At Triton
CAPT. JOHN BEODTE KILLED
WHILE MAKING ASCENSION.
Fell With Crash and Feet We're
Driven Into Ground. Was In
Dawson Last Winter.

Capt. John Brodie, VINO did the
high diving act for the Barkoot
Amusement Co, fell 700 feet from
a balloon on the exposition grounds
at Triton at 5:15 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon and was instantly killed.
Gowdy, aeronaut, was preparing to
ascend when Brodie volunteered to
take the other balloon for a race.
The ascension was a beautiful one,
both balloons cutting loose together
and ascending side by side only
few yards apart distance Of be-
tween seven hundred and a thousand
feet, when q gun was fred AS the
signal for them to cut loose. Brodie
dropped slightly in advance of the
other man.
The drop is quadrupIe para
chute, and he cut the first two safe
Iy, and whether the third became en-
tangled or lack of experience caused
him to bungIe will never be known,
but the third parachute failed to
fill and like a shot from a gun Brodfe
came 700 feet to the ground, falling
with a crash that could be heard a
quarter of mile. Despite the fate
Of Brodie, which he could not fail
Ito see, Prof. Gowdy with wonderful
nerve cut his three parachutes and
descended in safety.
Brodte's home was in Green Lake.

He had been with Barkoot two
years, and was in Dawson with that
company last December. He had
made twelve balloon ascensions, on
ly making them when race was
put on. Manager Kline Of the Bar
koot company says the cause Of the
accident never will be known. His
body struck the ground not with
thud, but with a crash like a falling
tree. His feet were driven into the
ground up to the knees, and practf-
cally every bone in his body was
broken.
Probably two thousand people saw
the fall, it being plainly visible from
all parts of the city. Broder's body

RAWLINGS, Wyo.-President w.
H. Taft spent today in Wyoming and
left Rawlings after ten-minute
stop tonight, for Salt Lake City,
Utah. During the day the presi-
dent stopped at Cheyenne and LARA
ME. At Cheyenne Charlie Irwin,
of the reception committee, had ar
ranged a miniature reproduction of
the stunts made famous at the
annual frontier day celebration. Mr..
Taft watched the bucking bronchos,
the races between cowboys and the
roping of wild horses with great in
terest. He reviewed several thous-
and soldiers from Fort D. A. Russell,
inspected the town from an automo-
bile and spoke on his tariff vetoes
in the opera house to a good-sized
crowd.
The frontier day show at Chey-
enne was as near a reproduction of
the annual affair as Irwin could
make it. There were about sixty
COW boys, COW girls, "broncho bust
ers" and other western types in the
cast. Mr.. Taft watched the per-
Torrance from the judges stand
with United States senator Warren
and Governor Carey, and appeared to
enjoy exceedingly the riding of buck
ing and outlaw horses.
Charley Irwin showed himself
good stage manager, however, by
remaining some of the ponies entered
in the bucking contest.
There was one called BILLY Taft,
another named Archie Butt" a
third that bucked by the name Of
Schedule x" and another that the
president declared that was almost
unreliable that Irwin had put down
on the program as Teddy Roose-
Welt" Reciprocity, Gin Fizz,"
"Old Steamboat" and few others
under names less pertinent to a pres
ident's reception also ran.
BILLY Taft was the first pony to
be saddled, and Jack Irwin tried to
ride him. He got about twenty feet
from the judges stand and then dis
mounted head foremost. Next came

MAN STUCK ON A PAVEMENT

A Saturday Night Jamboree Proved
Embarrassing for Young Student

ATLANTA.-Alfred Strickland. 2
young Atlanta medical student of
bibulous propensities, was zig-zag-

West End last night after a large
evening spent at the club when mis-
fortune led him to a street which
but an hour before had been thickly
laid with new asphalt. 1t was a
thoroughfare not much frequented
after dark, and there was no watch
man-only the red lanterns. Over one
one of the Strickland stumbled, and
sat down in the soft asphalt. 1t was
soft and comfortable, so after sit
ting for a moment he lay down in it
and went to sleep,
1t must have been one Of the most
comfortable beds he ever lay in, for
the young man was still sleeping
when the workmen came at O'Clock
this morning with their machinery
to continue the street paving.
They yelled at Strickland and wax
ed him up He started to get up, but
couldn't. The asphalt had hardened
and he was imbedded as if in the
solid rock. He had jabbed his legs
under part of it, possibly to keep
them warm, and he couldn't even be
gotten loose by cutting off part of
his clothing.
1t took three Irish laborers with
crowbar and sledge hammer to
pry the young man loose, and when
they did he resem bled some relic

PROMISES AN EARTHQUAKE
DIR. KINNEY HAS SNIELLED sITT.
PHUR AND SAYS ONE is DUE.
The Doctor Is Woman Who Has
Before Predicted Seismic Disturb
ances With Much Accuracy,

BOSTON, Mass.-Dr. Euniee n.
Kinney of Reyer, who has on several
occasions predicted the coming Of
seismic disturbances, declares that
some time within the forty-eight
hours next following Saturday at
sunset there will be a seismic dis
turbance heavier and more destruct-
i've than the world has known for
some years.
Mrs. Kinney reads the warning
of the impending disaster from the
sky and atmospheric phenomenons
which she observed in the heavens
on Thursday and again Saturday.
She is unable to fix the point where
it will have its effect.
In October, 1909, she made a pre-
diction and the day following there
were violent earth tremors in Utah
and Idaho and two days later a
quake in Georgia. In the winter of
1908 and 1909 she was in Ell Paso.
Texas, and for the Eel Paso Herald
predicted quakes on December 81,
January 6, II, 16 and IS. These
predictions were followed with news
dispatches from Mexico, on January
8, Florence and Venice, Italy, jan
uary 13, Mession, Sicily, second
shock, January IS, Turkey and
Smyrna January 10, and Persia jan
uary %.
The atmospheric condition which
she says she finds a certain precurs-

much denser and darker, but never
opaque enough to obscure the sun

BERLIN.-Work has been pro

at the Vulcan shipbuilding yards at
Stettin on a new vessel for the Ham
burg-Amerika line which is to
eclipse all previous records of ocean
greyhounds for size and splendor.
The new boat is to be named the
Imperator and will be run in the
Atlantic service.
In her present condition on the
slips at Stettin she presents a won
derful spestacle, appearing some
thing like the skeleton of an eleven

struction. She stands 100 feet high,
is nearly 80 feet in the beam and
has length of ITO feet. Her dis
placement will be $4,000 tons, and
she Will contain accommodations for
5000 passengers.
In her present condition, without
engines or boilers, she weighs more
than a fully armed battleship. Her
interior furnishings and decorations
are planned on the most lavish scale
and she will in every way merit the
description of a floating town.

PISTOL LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
The Georgia Supreme Court Decides
That Gun Toters Must Get a

with Justice Beck absent, has CERT

court of appeals in the test case Of
j. L. Strickland from the city court
Of Carrollton.
In no unmistable terms the court
cid that the statute was good and
did not conflict with the states fun

as were granted to the state in it's

The case Of J. L. Strickland was

to the appellate court several months
ago, and was put up as the test case
of the license law, Upon it's decision
hung the fate of at least a score of
cases, all appealed upon the same
grounds-the laws constitutionaIity.
The pistol license law requires
that a license must be secured from

BUGS WORK LIKE FOREST FIRE
Terrible Destruction to South's Pine
Trees. United States Department
of Agriculture Appealed to.

As an illustration OF the extensive
destruction of pine trees in the
South, due to the Southern pine bee
tie, Judge W B. Lamar, former con-
gresham from Florida, writes that
ne has lost approximately 500 pine
trees the last two seasons on a 1856
acre tract just outside of Atlanta.
If the ravages of the pine beetle
throughout the pine belt are any
thing like this in proportion the de-
struction must have been something
terrific as the result of the operations
of this bug of periodic development.
This bug develops in a prolific man
ner when seasons are favorable to it.
1t is now fifteen years or more since
it developed to an extent similar to
that of the present.
Judge Lamar says the trees on
this tract looked as if they had been
swept by a severe fire. He took the
matter up with the United States
department of agriculture. and was
advised to cut the trees down, strip
of the bark and have it burned. Re-
ports from many sections of the state
indicate that the pine beetle has been
doing much destructive work this
season. At some points steps have
been taken to check it's propagation
and to stamp it out.
