Poster Announcing Mass Meeting
Laid Before the Senate.

A protest against a second investiga-
ton Of the election OF William Lorimer
as senator from Illinois was the sub
ject Of a document which Vice Presi-
dent Sherman laid before the Senate to-
day.
It embraced huge poster announcing
a mass meeting of the citizens Of Chi
cago to be held June %. at which, the
poster stated. protest against govern
ment persecution will be voiced by able
speakers" and the use Of taxpayers
money in aid Of persecution will be re-
monstrated against"
The resolutions declare that people OF
the great west side of the city OF Chi
cago believe that the action In directing
further prosecution Of Senator Lorimer Is
in effect persecution. and persecution Is
intolerable in this republic"
I'VE protest against the malice and nate
exhibited by certain senator's IN this
case" the resolution continues, land
maintain that it would be more becoming
to the dignity Of the Senate II all sena-
tors would at least appear to be possess
ed of open and unbiased minds and feel
ings."
And further:
This protest is respectfully submitted
with a patriotic purpose and it represents
an undercurrent of public feeling which
is daily growing stronger against legis-
lators who hesitate to rely on themselves
and their own powers OF conception and
against the lack Of Independent spirit and
courage in our legislative bodies, which
presages decline in free state"

COMPANY WINS CASE.
Controller Decides Panama Car
Claims Case Against Government.

A decisions said to be Of far-reaching
importance has been handed down by the
controller Of the Treasury in reference tc
the claim of the American Car and
Foundry Company concerning the $l5. s4a 81
penalty imposed by the War Department
for the Panama canal commission when
the company failed to deliver 500 fiat cars
to the commission as provided for in a
contract. The controller has decided that
the penalty was not justly exacted and
that the money must be paid the COM
pany by the government
The controller bases his decision upon
the fact that after the contract was en-
tered into with the company the govern
ment suggested changes in the specifca-
lions and there was q delay in getting
the revised plans back to the company.
The company. in turn. did not deliver the
cars at the time specified in the contract,
and for that reason $15.s4S.S6 was de-
Quoted from its pay as penalty. The
controller holds that as the government
changed the plans for the cars the con-
tractor should be allowed a reasonable
time to complete his contract. This does
not mean. 1t is explained. an allowance
of time equal to the delay Of the gov
eminent, but a reasonable time in which
to complete the work
The case has been pending for two
years The decision Of the controller re-
yersed that Of the auditor for the War
Department. The company was repre-
scented by Attorney Fred B. Rhodes In its
litigation.

MAN WHO SHOT WOMAN
NOT YET IDENTIFIED
Only Clue Is One That "Mac-
DonaId's" Real Name May
Be Gillette.

Nothing has been learned by the local
police regarding the identity Of Edward
j Macdonald. who fatally shot his wife
while in the Colorado building, since the
exclusive publication in The Star of a
Gillette. When the case was before the
grand jury several days ago Mrs. Mar
garet Billop. sister of the deceased, told
why she had reason to believe the de-
PENDANTS name is George Gillette and
not Edward j. Macdonald.
Mrs. Billop explained that her sister.
wife of the defendant, told her of having
found a letter in her husbands room adj
dressed to George Gillette and signed
Your loving brother, Harry"
In Slayer's Handwriting.
Another, she said, was addressed to
Miss Lillian II. Gillette, $40 West 13Sth
street, New York city. and was in the
handwriting of the slayer. Mrs. Billop
has the letters.
report from New York states that a
Mrs. George Gillette was found at 6f2
West 13S.h street. The house Is three
story brownstone building. according to
the report, and a number OF elegantly
dressed women were there.
One of the women said she was Mrs.
George H. Gillette, but denied that she
was Lillian II. Gillette, the name OF the
person to whom the letter is said to have
been addressed She said she had not
seen her husband for two years and that
she last heard from him in Denver.
Woman Near Collapse.
while ridiculing the suggestion that
the man in Washington could be her hus-
band" the report sets forth. "she nearly
collapsed and with great difficulty said
she could not understand how Macdonald
could have letters addressed to her.
The letters. the police said today. had
not been turned over to them. 1t is
probable that they will be given the
grand Jury when the investigation of the
shooting is resumed by that body.
