tons Of Illinois State Legis-
lature Cause of
Action.

Washington, D. c. - A prompt and
against Senator Lorimer Of Illinois
growing out of the Investigation by
the Illinois state legislature was as
sured when the regular Republicans
presented in the senate a resolution
calling for the conduct of such inquiry
under the direction of the senate com
mittee on privileges and elections.
The Democratic senators will sup
port the resolution, which will be a
substitute for the LaFollette resolution
naming a special committee of new
senators to take up the inquiry.
The Democrats held a aucus and
decided in favor of the resolution di-
recting the inquiry by the regular SEN
ate committee. The meeting which
was secret lasted two hours and there
developed early a decided difference
of opinion as to the best methods of
procedure in pressing for the reinvesti-
cation. Several members of the steer
ing committee insisted that it should
be undertaken by a special committee
~ NC dppOlHlcu Wy Tie senate Willy
others of whom Senator Martin, the
chairman, was said to have been the
leader, held out for reference of the
entire matter to the committee on
privileges and elections. This it was
charged, might mean the ~smothering Of
the entire subject if the committee SO
desired.
Eventually, however, the two fac
tions compromised by agreeing to con-
certed action to have the La Toilette
resolution referred to the committee
on privileges and elections with in
structions to begin at once another in
vestigation of the charges against Sen
ator Lorimer. All of the evidence adj
duced by the Investigations of the Hi
nois legislature will be utilized and
several new witnesses are held in
readiness.
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
introduced the resolution. 1t is prob
able that the committee on elections
will be directed to conduct the in
vestigation through a subcommittee to
be chosen from its own members, but
affirmed by the senate.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Here is a
! pretty kettle of fish. The Offices
OF the county clerks in Indiana are
being filled to overlooking with the
heads of dead crows, and the result is
not pleasing to the sense of smell, to
say the least. Came about this way:
AT the last session of the legislature
the farmers of the state succeeded in
having a law enacted which placed a
bounty of ten cents upon the head Of
every crow. The farmers argued that
the crows destroyed much of their
crops by eating the seeds after they
were scattered on the ground and
We're a nuisance in general. Every
body thought 1t would be a good
scheme to abolish the pest by killing
off a large number of the prolific
crows. And SO it came to pass that
the law was enacted and most every
body thought the question was solved
at once and for all time.
But it wasn't. The county clerks
are the sufferers and complainants
now. The farmer boys spend their

To Make Way for Farmer.

Lemmon.-L. G. Peck, a pioneer
range man and rancher of Perkins
county, who has been engaged in
horse raising in that section of the
state for more than 20 years, has dis
posed of nearly his entire herd to the
government, who will use the animals
in the cavalry service in the United
States army. Mr.. Peck has con-
tracted to delived 1000 head of horses

gagged in rounding up the animals here

Crow Heads Puzzle the Officials

to realize a good compensation for
their work.
Here is where the rub comes in.
The county clerk who receives and
pays for the crow heads must keep
them until his books, stock and office
materials are audited by the county
commissioners. which is once a year.
Now what is the county clerk going
to do with the hundreds and hundreds
of crow heads brought to his Office?
Surely he cannot put them away in
the safe with other valuables. Neither
can he throw them away, for in that
event he would have to stand the
bounty money from his own pocket.
The result is hat his office smells to
high heaven, and even the sale of
marriage licenses has suffered a
slump.
And that is the reason the county
clerks of Indiana have signed a round
robin and forwarded it to Governor
Marshall, praying him to offer a solu-
ton, or at least appoint a commission
for that end.

BLACK HAND AGENT KILLED.
Chicago Plans Misearried or Maniscal.
SEQ Was Victim Of Treachery.

Chicago. March 16.-The Black Hand
Society Of Chicago is believed by the
police who are working on the latest
outrage III the north side Italian set
tlement, to have played ghastlv joke
on itself in the murder of Phillippi
ManisCalSco, who, with Antong Dugo,
was assassinated Tuesday night.
Maniscalsco Is believed by the au-
thorities to have been a member Of
the Black Hand. According to the
theory on Which they are now working
he and his nephew. Lorenzo Maniscal-
SEQ. had been deputized to lure Dugo,
who had refused to pay blackmail.
to the place where he was slain. One
of the bullets aimed at Dugo went
wild and killed Maniscalsco.
This theory fits in with all the facts
the police now have. IT it fails later
on they have another-that is, that
there was treachery inside the Black
Hand itself and that Maniscalsco was
murdered as a result of that treachery.
The police have not vet run down
the murderers but they have succeed
ed in discovering the bullets with
which tile deed was done. These. are
two slugs three quarters of an inch
in diameter and weighing nearly an
ounce each.
