HINES IS CHILLED
ON L0R|MER CASE
Says President Taft Was Anxious To
Have Republican Elected and
Agreed on Lorimer.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-President
Taft figured again In the testimony be-
fore the Lorimer committee today as
a supporter OF Lorimer for the Illinois
senatorial election OF 1909. Edward
Hines the alleged senator maker"
was on the stand.
Did you have talk with Congress
man Boutell about the senatorship two
OF three weeks before the election!
asked Judge Hanecy, Lorimer's attor-
ney.
Yes, and we agreed to urge Lorimer
To be candidate. He volunteered TO
see the president"
did he see the PRESIDENT?
HE said he did"
Hines then produced an unsigned
letterw hich he said was In Boutells
handwriting II had been enclosed
with signed letter from Boutell to
Hines, which was received after Lori
mer's election. This unsigned letter
read:
Il should like to have the senator
Horimer) know who was the only
man W ~ W picoiuthb hAo SNHN~e
and bring on the goods"
"Boutell told me-" said Hines, that
he had informed the president that
Lorimer was the only man who could
break the deadlock and be elected.
Boutell also said that the president
declared Lorimer to be acceptable TO
him In order to have n Republican
senator from Illinois.
In answer to questions by Judge
Hancey, Hines testified that When he
was in New York. in February IL, and
IL, 1911, he saw Judge Gary, OF the
steel trust, on a business matter.
Hines said no explained to Gary that
he was In Washington, because the
newspapers had linked his name to
the Lorimer case" and asserted that
Gary declared he Gary had favored
Hopkins.
Senator Kern asked Hines II he
thought that Lorimer was to be elect
ed through the votes OF Democratic
legislatures.
81 think it was the expectation
at the time I talked with Boutell,"
said Hines, that Mr.. Lorimer would
be elected by a union OF Republicans
factions"
Hines explained that he did not ask
Judge Lovett, OF the Union Pacific, to
aid Lorimer.
Senator Kern read a telegram to
Hines from M. Fl. Dickens, New Or
leans, asking:
DO you desire Mississippi support

OSCODA PUSHES
REBUILDING PLAN
Various Industries Assure Future OF
New Town Regardless of Course
Pursued by LIQUIDS.

ALPENA, July 24.-An investiga-
ton at Oscoda and Au Sable Sunday
shows the relief committee is looking
after las families or about $50 people,
who do not include the % soldiers
guarding property, people taking care
OF themselves and transient visitors
The relief headquarters is established
In the central school.
The combined efforts Of all the men
In Oscoda were required to save the
old pumping station Friday and Sat
urday. The fires were close to the
building several times. This station
has furnished water for domestic pur-
poses since the recent catastrophe.
Fires will burn In the slab founda-
tions, in the woods and along the
tracks until the snow flies, regardless
of rain. And In the fall when vegeta-
tion dies out the danger will be
greater.
What Is needed Is q special fire
warden for Oscoda and vicinity, one
who thoroughly understands condi-
lions.
The citizens OF Oscoda are optimis.
tic. They will rebuild the town.
Whether the Loud company rebuilds
or not, the village will be recon
structed. The canning factory will
be rebuilt, the turpentine plant will be
doubled In capacity next year, the
fishing industry will continue. the ag-
ricultural interests are increasing
every year, and even IL not another
stick OF timber Is cut In the town
Oscoda will grow and thrive.
IL IL not at all likely that Au Sable
will be rebuilt. Real estate there Is
drag on the market. while In Os-
coda transfers are made daily and
the prices rule higher than before the
fire. Even the people In Au Sable
do not believe that the town will be
rebuilt. except what building the Loud
company does.
There has been remarkably little
sickness considering conditions and
not one death since the fire. Two
buildings are being erected. a temper
ary home for the Iosco County Saw
ings bank and a smaller building to
replace the Currie house.
There was q heavy rain In Oscoda
and Au Sable Sunday afternoon. Many
Of the people are sheltered In tents,
with cook stoves outside, and the dis
comfort was considerable. However,
the rain was welcome The first in
dustry to resume will probably be
Joseph Turcott's foundry. He has
commenced the erection of a new
building and expects to be doing bust
ness before long.

Forest Of Arden, re-people it, not with

Pine Grove Camp was a mingled tri-
umph of Nature and of Art Nature
had done her perfect work by furnish
ing carpet of grass and pine needles,
a canopy Of clear sky studded with
silver stars. and the leafy bowers that
poets sing Of Then came Art and
created a quaint and delightful spring
near the centre of the camp, from
which flowed water clear as crystal,
and cold as that which flows out from
under the hill at the Spring" close
to the old home piece that each of us
remembers. On the outer edge of the
camp blazsd a campfire that cast its
weird light over all. Just where light
and darkness met hammock swung,
and here and there throughout the
camp were scattered chairs and camp
stools and benches where the weary
might rest ard tell of adventure. From
the bough Of an oak hung lantern,
and nearby stood the victrola. that
storehouse Of the best of modern music,
and discoursed sweet music through

When prenarations for supper were
completed, the hostess turned loose a
score of tiny birds Of white paper
which fluttered down, two of each
kind ten birds among the young ladies,
and ten among the young men. Then
two by two all sat down to the feast
And II was q feast that Epicurus or
the most devoted of his disciples
might well have praised. In the pro
fusion Of good things to eat" this
supper rivalled the old-fashioned din
