TILDEN is ARRESTED
SENATE WARRANTS ARE SERVED
ON PACKER AND AIDS.
Write to Free Them is Secured-Aa.
beas Corpus Petition Then is Filed
Before Judge and Order Issued.

Chicago. Edward Tilden, the Chi
cago packer, was arrested here for
contempt of the Illinois senate. The
contempt charge resulted from Til,
den's refusal to produce certain books
before the committee investigating
the election of Senator Lorimer
The arrest of Mr. Tilden, however,
habeas corpus had already been grant
ed by Judge Adelor ]. Petit, which
was returned in court shortly after
Mr. Tilden's arrest. The writ was
granted by Judge Petit about one-half
hour before Assistant Sergeant at
Arms e. H. Hatfield of the state SEN
ate actually arrested MIR. Tilden in the
offices of the National Packing com
pany.
Immediately after he had served the
warrant on Mr. Tilden, Hatfield him
self was served with the writ of
habeas corpus by Deputy Sheriff
Lenke. Thereupon Hatfield took Mr..
Tilden to Judge Petit's courtroom in
the county building. There he was re-
leased under bonds of $4,000, fur
nished by the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee company.

Drovers' Deposit National bank, and

was announced that the ruling that
Judge Petit will make after hearing
arguments on the petition for the re-
lease of Mr.. Tilden will affect them
equally with the banker.
This ruling will decide whether Mr..
Tilden will be sustained in his refusal
to produce his books and those of his
banks before the Helm committee of
the senate, which is investigating
charges that the election of Lorimer
was obtained through bribery. If
Judge Petit orders his release the sen
ate will be obliged to abandon its eff
forts to find out whether the books
contain any entries which would
throw light upon the source of the
Lorimer election fund. On the other
hand, if Judge Petit refuses to grant
the petition for Mr.. Tilden's release
it means that he must appear before
the senate and either reconsider his
refusal to produce his books or be
punished for contempt. probably by
imprisonment

has a big crew of expert mechanics

the advantage not only of the smaller

Beautiful Miss Howard
BY ANTONETTE PATTERSON

Langdon Drew was of frivolous ma
ture and had already figured In two
broken engagements. And now girl
had come into his life determined to
teach him lesson. Katherine How
ard - and the ex-fancee had been
friends at boarding school This was
unknown to Mr. Drew who had moved
from Pittsburg, the home of one of
his former loves-the other was a
Bostonian-to New York, where he
had just met the beautiful Miss How
ard.
Katherine Howard was beauty. In
her hair was the CLINT of the sun it
self, and in her face the flush of the
wild rose. Her eyes were big and
clear and blue.
There were six men supposed to be
in love with Katherine; soon, Mr..
Drew made the seventh. Also, he felt
he was the most favored
Among the first six was a young
clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Henry Strong of
Boston, who had met Miss Howard
the previous summer while visiting
friends on the Massachusetts coast.
He saw as much of her as his meagre
vacation would allow, and in the fall
came to New York and asked her to
marry him.
Katherine told him she liked him
very much, but she wished to see
something Of the world first; that
probably it would prove so charming
she would prefer to live in it's midst
the rest of her life To her surprise,
Mr.. Strong agreed at once. 1t was a
natural wish, and it was far from his
desire that any woman should be his
wife unless she realized the many
things she would have to give up;
there would be so much else for her to
do. He was indeed an unusual lover,
for he had added that he would be SO
busy all winter it would be impossible
to leave Boston, but he would find time
to see her just before Lent, when per-
haps she could tell him whether she
felt she could become the wife of a
rather Woodworking clergyman-not a
poor one, as he had an independent in
come Of his own. And then he had
quietly said good-by.
Katherine had thought often of that
afternoon Strong was the one man
who seemed not to have noticed her
