TnE JACK Pot STORY
DEMOCRATIC LEADER MARTIN
WANTS 1T LOOKED INTO.
Senator La Toilette Pleads for Re-
investigation and Again Attacks
Lorimer in q Caustic Manner.

Lorimer in q Caustic Manner.
In the Senate Tuesday before Mr..
La Toilette resumed his red not
speech attacking Lorimer, Senator
Bristow made the first set speech In
behalf of the resolution of Senator
Borah for direct election of Senator'S.
Senator Martin, the minority lead
er, introduced resolution to refer
the Lorimer case to the committee on
privileges and elections, with a re-
quest that it investigate the new evil
dence thoroughly and pay special at
tention to the story that a Jack
pot" fund was raised to help Lori
mer
The Martin resolution is under
stood to represent the views of the
majority of the Democratic steering
committee. which is against letting
Mr.. La Toilette run the whole thing.
Mr.. La Toilette reviewed the re-
cent proceedings of the Illinois Leg
islature relative to the Lorimer
case. He said he was convinced that
there was still more testimony to
be adduced. He was sure that pub
lie opinion was right in this case. In
declaring that he wanted the Senate
to view itself in the mirrow of such
opinion, he held aloft huge col
lection of newspaper clippings con-
demning the Senate's decision in the
case.
Mr.. LaFollette quoted the Senate's
action in the case in an effort TO JUS
tify the demand for reopening, con-
tending that the Senate, as we'll as
other tribunals, should exerrise the
privilege of reviewing its own pro-
ceedings.
He presented a transcript Of the
Illinois Legislatures record In the
case. He read from the testimony OF
Mr. Kohlsaat, of Chicago, regarding
the 100000 Jackpot fund. he
contended that many statements
made by Witness Hines would be
proven If the Senate reopens the case.
Senator Martins resolution goes
farther than the La Toilette bill as q
rrobe into the I.orimer case. The
Martin bill would leave with the
committee on privileges and selec-
tions. the prosecution of the inquiry
ana delegates to 1t all the powers of
"a Court. The committee would be
authorized to hold its sessions at
whatever place it deemed most con-
vcnient.

FATAL CHURCH FIGHT
ONE NEGRO KILLED AND SEW
ERAL OTHERS WOUNDED.
Row Started by Negro Man Re3us-
ing to Take Off His Hat When in
Church.

Another fatal row has occurred 3t
negro church in Newberry county
Rocky Zion church just on the New
berry side of the line, between New
berry and Laurens counties, was the
scene of bloody pistol battle, which
ragged for few minutes late Sunday
evening, in which one negro was
killed and four or five others were
more or less seriously wounded.
The shooting was the result of a
fuss, which started in the church,
when Henry Baxter walked into the
meeting with his hat on. One of
the negroes took offence at this
seeming lack Of respect on Henry's
part. When the difficulty arose, an
adjournment was had to the grounds
outside, where a number of pistols
were put in action, between forty
and fifty shots being fired.
Henry Baxter, who had failed to
uncover when he went into the meet
ing, was killed, and among the
wounded are Jim Workman, shot in
the right arm, negro, Robinson,
shot in the head, the bullet entering
through the ear, and a negro Wo-
man, whose name has not been
learned, shot in the thigh.
Sheriff Rufford went to the scene
Sunday evening and brought back to
Newberry and lodged in Jail Jim
Workman and Ephraim Williams.
Ephraim Williams is brother OF
Verge Williams, who is said to have
started the fuss in the church. The
information given the sheriff, was
when the fuss started, Ephraim Sc
cured Verge's pistol and ran after
Henry Baxter, firing at him as he
went. Workman and Ephraim Will
liams had been arrested by Mr.. W.
Pink Smith, and were being held
when the sheriff arrived. Verge Will
liams could not be located. Robin
son was on Mr.. Bedenbaugh's place,
son was on Mr.. 3edenbaugh's place
in Laurens County, under the care
OF a doctor, and it was said he was
too seriously injured to be brought
to Jail. Later during the night Dep
uty Sheriff Pope Buford arrested Jim
Williams, on Mr.. Ben Abrams place.
AN inquest was begun today, and
Coroner Felker's jury charged Jim
Workman and Ephraim Williams
with the killing and Virge Williams
ais accessory. The verdict was
reached today. 1t was with great
difficulty that the coroner was able
to get any connected facts, and the
investigation will be continued.

YEAST USED AS A FOOD
Can ee Made Into "a Tasty Paste"
to Be Spread on Bread, Accord
Ing - Authority.

The cleanest lager beer sometimes
contains numbers of yeast cells, says
Pure Products. Still larger numbers
are often found in ale and In Weiss
beer. which probably gives these bev-
erages some of their desirable proper
ties. But by far the largest amount
of yeast which finds its way Into the
human digestive system is introduced
with bakery goods which have been
made from -four.
Yeast is fungus and belongs to the
same family as the mushroom, Tor
which most people have distinct lik'
ing The age long use of yeast for
bread raising purposes proves that
this fungus is capable of thoroughly
agreeing with the human organism. In
view OF this fact 1t Is somewhat sur.
pris,ng that immense amounts of beer
yeast are annually allowed to go to
waste from every brewery in the coun-
try.
There are several circumstances
which have seemed to stand in the
way of employing beer yeast in food
production. The two principal ones
are its dark color and its bitterness.
due to the simultaneous use OF hops In
the brewing processes.
These properties of beer yeast how
ever, may easily be removed. Beer
yeast is not suitable for baking pur'

about the nutritive value OF yeast.
since weight for weight 1t is quite
comparable in nutritive value to the
best beer.
For direct consumption in the fresh
condition yeast must be put into
suitable form According to the meth
cd OF kleinschmidt, compressed yeast
which has been deprived of Its bitter
substance may be melted with edible
fats, such as butter, the result being
q very tasty paste which can be
spread directly on bread. Dry yeast
can be used in this same manner, ana
experience has already shown that
the addition of yeast to certain sauces
and salad dressings Is attended with
very favorable results. However, it IS

Of Cheese Scoring Ex

may be of inferior quality. The loss
to the farmers. however. is often more
from a small cut in price on large
amount than the larger cut on the
product of one day.
Another loss Is sustained from q
gradual decline In the quality Of the
butter and cheese made at a certain
factory without its being noticed by
the operator becaus. Of his limited Op-
portunities for learning how his prod
ucts compare in quality with the mar
ket standard
The many opportunities for the i'm
provement Of the products OF our
creameries and cheese factories and to
thereby reduce the losses caused by
defective quality in both butter and
! cheese each year, suggested the idea
of sending sample packages to some
central place each month where these
could be examined and scored by COM
petent and impartial judges.
This idea has now been put into
practice and packages OF butter and
cheese are received and judged every
month by the dairy department of the
Agricultural College at Madison. This
gives an opportunity for improving the
qaulity of dairy products sold In the
state and in many cases these have
already been materially improved.
About 100 factories have taken ad-
vantage of this monthly scoring during
the first year and farmers should do
all they can towards the sending
of butter or cheese to the Wisconsin
agricultural college from the factory
they are interested in. A poor score
ought to stimulate the factory man to
do better and a good score encourages
him to do his best.
A certificate of the official monthly
scores is given each year with such
official records, the products from
high quality creameries and cheese
factories can be sold at an advanced
price.
