New York.-The Standard Oil COM
pany denies that it subscribed to a
corruption fund alleged to have been
used to secure to William Lorimer his
seat in the senate. The following
telegram was sent last Thursday to
the Rev. Milton B. Williams, pastor OF
the First Methodist church, Elgin, Ill:
Dear Sir: In the morning papers
of this date it Is reported that at a
mass meeting held in Elgin to de.
nounce Senator William Lorimer, you
said that $625,0 had been spent in
the recent session of congress to OBJ
tain the acquittal of Senator Lorimer
and that this money had been put up
by the Standard Oil company and
other big financial interests.
"As the statement is foully and
wholly false SO far as it concerns the
Standard Oil company, cali on you
for an immediate public and complete
retraction and an apology for libel
and SANDER. The heat of public dis
cussion does not protect the plain cit.

pei, in such unmeasured denunciations,

SEES u. SLAP WAf
GERMAN EXPERT Is PREPARING
CRITICAL OPINION.
Count Asserts Statesmen Convinced
Empire Must Have Absolute Control
of Pacific to Exist.

Berlin.-The famous German writer
Count Won Reventlow. whose rep
utation in Germany as an expert
entities him to grave considera
ton, is preparing critical opinion
for publication concerning the rela
tons of the United States and Japan.
The count asserts Japan unques
tionably is preparing for an aggressive
war against the United States with as
much care as she prepared for the
struggle with Russia. He says states,
| men are convinced the mikado's EN-
| pire cannot continue to exist as
great power without absolute naval
| supremacy in the Pacific, which also
is indispensable to her commercial
prosperity.
"The desire for this supremacy is
the logical result OF Japans efforts
| to command the Chinese markets and
defeat the attempted conquest thereof
by the Americans" says the count.
| Japan realizes she does not possess
the enormous financial resources or
the technical commercial efficiency OF
the Americans. She also recognizes
that the United States has the means
to expand her navy and army beyond
the power of Japan to compete"
Therefore, according to Count Re.
ventlow, Japan's aim is to deprive the
United States of all bases in the Pa.
cific before the American feet has at.
tanned an overwhelming supremacy
over that of Japan.
1t is clear that by selling the Philip
pines, Hawaii and the American por
ton of Samoa, as well as Guam, Japan
could create permanent and unalter
able advantage for herself
The count goes on to say there can
be no doubt but that Japan is now in
position to seize these islands.

END DANvILLE PROBE.
GRAND JURY ApJoURNs AFTER
RETURNING Il INDICTMENTS.
Resolutions Adopted Urge the Enact'

Practices.

Danyflle. Ill-The Vermilion coun-
" vote inquiry, started eight weeks
ago. was ended Tuesday, almost .
complete failure. The grand jury was
dismissed until April II, after re-
turning but IA indictments for po-
Iitical offenses. No politicians OF
prominent men were indicted, the &C.
cused being precinct captains ana
workers about the polls.
In extenuation Of the failure to &C
complish anything of Importance tho
grand jury made public set OF reso-
lutions which, in view Of their final re-
port. was considered remarkable
They claim that evidence was con-
cealed.
The indictments returned charge
conspiracy to buy votes and perjury.
The resolutions adopted follow;
"The grand jury now completing It's
work has discovered that most as
founding state Of political corruption
prevails in Vermilion county and IN
Danville township especially; that the
election laws have been fagrantiy Vlo'
lated and that vast sums OF money
have been frequently used IN corrupt-
ing the electorate.
THAT political corruption has ire
quently found encouragement in the
acts of political public officials, a no
table Instance of recent occurrence pc
ing found in the appointment OF w. =.
Brown as election commissioner OF
Danville by County Judge Lawrence
N. Allen.
The grand jury further demanded
that drastic legislation be enacted
remedying the present laws providing
for the punishment of vote buyers as
we'll as vote sellers, as the present
laws are declared to be unconst'tu-
tional in so far as the punishment OF
vote buyers is concerned.

TWENTY-sIx DEAD IN SLIDE
Only Four OF Track-Laying Gang Able
to Escape Huge Mass Of
Earth and Snow.

Virginia, Minn.-Ten bodies, crush.
ed almost to an unrecognizable
mass of flesh and bones, have
been recovered from the Nor
man open-pit mine where an ava
lanche Of EARTH rock, ice and snow
buried twenty-six miners. The other
sixteen bodies have not been reached,
but the mine officials are bending
every effort to expedite the work Of
rescue. The catastrophe was due, it
is said. to the thaws of the last few
days suddenly loosening powders and
earth and forcing the ore body to
slide toward the bottom Of the pit.
Only four who were working on the
outer edge, had chance to run, and
escaped the avalanche. Three Of
these are in hospital suffering from
probably fatal injuries.

Elah.s Bio OIL Concern.

Sioux City.-N. X. Wicks and the
Iowa Tank Line company have start
ed suit in the district court here
against the National Refining COM
pany, asking $4,000 for breach OF
contract. The petition charges that
the refining company, harassed the
concern by disposing of inferior OIL
in it's name, and misrepresented con-
ditions. The battle of the Sioux
City company started when the con-
Germ incorporated in Iowa at $780,
600. The National Refining company
is the strongest competitor OF the
Standard Oil company and 1t is al
legged the refiners saw in the local
concern dangerous competition.
