SECRET FOREVER
Raising Of the Marie May Not Show
Cause Of disaster.

Tampa, Fla, JuT e 27.--The "se-
cret of the destruc ion of the battle
ship Maine will naver be known"
said Gen. W. II. Bixby, chief of en-
gineers in charge of the work o.
raising the Maine, upon his arrival
here today from Havana.
The destruction was such, says
General Bixby, and the deterioration
so great, that it will be impossible to
tell whether the ship was blown up
from a force within or without. The
greatest force, however, was from
the inside, indicating that the for.
ward magazine had exploded. Wheth-
er this was from a sympathetic ex-
plosion caused by a torpedo from
outside, may aforever remain a mys
Gerry.

Globe, with his jaw shot away, while
two young girls, Ethel and Elizabeth
Grosswich, the daughters of Wesley
Grosswich, who started on Wednes-
day from this city with him for his
ranch, were missing
1t was feared that the girls, aged
IA and II years respectively had
been murdered, as no trace of them
was decoyered, while their clothes
were found on a boulder.
Olds, who was helpless, told cow
boys who ran across him that he had
been shot either by a Mexican or an
Indian. A Sheriffs posse is search
ing for his assailant and the girls. So
far nothing has been heard from the
officers.

Important Principle is Establish
ed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in
Iowa Case Today.
RESPECTS VALUE OF SERVICE
This and Other Factors Entering Into
Construction of Rates Must Be
Considered in Determining
Fairness.

Washington. d. c.. Feb. 2S.--A not
able principle was laid down today by
the interstate commerce commission
in a decision Of the case of the rail-
road commissioners of Iowa against
the Illinois Central and other carriers.
In brief the commission holds
Net revenues of a carrier have Of
ten and undoubted an important bear
ing upon the question Of the reason
ableness of its rates, but the fact they
are greater than the returns OF an or
dinary business enterprise Is not suf-
hcient in itself TO justify the finding
that the rates are excessive; the VAL
ue of service and other factors that
enter into the construction OF rates
must also be taken into considera-
ton"
In this case the complainant urged
that fare of thirty cents charged by
the defendant lines for the transport
tation passengers over the bridge of
the Dunleith and Dubuque Bridge
company. between East Dubuque. IL
linois and Dubuque. Iowa, was ex-
cessive and discriminatory.
The commission in the decision
handed down by Commissioners Har-
land holds the rate Is not excessive
when viewed from the standpoint OF
all the carriers participating in the
traffic"

Senator Stone Declares in Speech
in Senate Today That Lori
mer Charges Have Been
Sustained
SHOULD HAVE been WITNESS
Takes Defendant to Task For Not Tes
tifying Before the Committee In
stead of Resortins to Ora
tory in Senate.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-Review-
ing the accusation of completely on
part of Lorfmer in the alleged cor
ruption accompanying his election to
the Senate, Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, addressed the Senate today in
opposition to Lorimers retention of
his seat
Stone found himself unable to sane
tion Lorimer's appearance before the
Senate as pleader I'm his own behalf
in lieu of his appearance before the in
vestigating committee as witness.
'He made no attempt to defend HIM
self under the sanctity of oath. but
preferred to remain silent while the in
vestigation was i'm progress and came
here to defend himself in speech before
the Senate" asserted the Missouri sem
ator.
"He should not have waited to make
| his defense as an orator, or advocated
pleading his own cause before the for
um which is trying him.
why did not Lorimer take the wit
ness stand and speak out like n man
who had naught to fear and answer
any question propounded to him, and
tell everything he knew about the
case?. Does this attitude of silence
comport with innocence?
Replying to his own question he cit
ed testimony showing the alleged pay
ment of money to Beckemeyer Hoist
law and White for their votes and the
probability of others receiving money
the same way. He contended then that
the burden Of proof was on Lorimer
and made 1t imperative that he should
defend his title.
Il ask whether it is within the scope
of things probable that IL Browne
paid this money to Holstlaw, Becke-
! meyer and other men i'm the way they
alleged, that Browne alone was guilty
Of offending against the law and pub
lie decency. and that Lorimer wended
his way through the maze, the DOM
mating and directing influence. and
still remained snow white and un-
stained"
Stone reviewed some OF the Incl
dents attending the senatorial cam
paign in Illinois. and declares Lorimer
organized the Republican bolt from
the regular party nominee
"Lorimer" he said. walked through
The Calumet news., 1911-02-28

a maze of most complicated and con-
fusing manipulation at Springfield,
proving himself a master adept in pol
itics and came out at the end with
the senatorial toga. He not only gath
cred a band of Republican legislators
together but he brought Democrats as
well as Republicans into his combina-
tion and together they wrought out his
scheme"
Stone gave minute attention to var
ious features OF the testimony and
drew the conclusion that the charge
OF corruption had been sustained.
Judging this case by the testimony
submitted. / am driven by the IRE
sistable force of my conviction" he
said In conclusion, ito say do not be-
lieve Lorimer is entitled to the seat he
holds" I'.i ~
