Washington, D. c., July 25.-James
Kelley. general manager of the Chicago
Tribune. was subjected to-day to u
fire of questions from Elbridge Hanecy.
attorney for Senator Lorimer. about
his testimony yesterday before the
Senate Lorimer committee The ses-
sion was replete with sharp passages
between attorney and witness.
Attorney Hanecy directed Mr. Kee-
ley's attention to the vouchers submit
ted TO show how the Tribune spent
100000 investigating the White con-
fession The attorney called atten-
tion TO the bills of E. o. Phillips and
G. T. O'Neill, reporters on the Tribune,
who spent several hundred dollars In
visiting members OF the Legislature.
Did YOU know that Mike Link had
been in an insane asylum before he
was elected TO the legislature" asked
Mr.. Iianecy when Mr. Links name
came up in this connection.
Il never heard it until you uttered
1t just now"
Here are the bills of John Callan
OLaughlin." began Mr.. Hanecy next.
He Is former Assistant Secretary OF

He is our representative in Wash

he gets high price"
Mr. OLaughlin's bills amounted 70
Sl,lSl, of which Mr.. Kelley said oyer
$3.50 was for stenographic work in tho
Lorimer case.
Mr.. Hunecy asked Mr. Kelley when
he had his second talk with Mr.. Kohl
yersation at the Union League Club, in
Chicago. in which a Lorimer election
fund was mentioned.
Il have no distinct recollection" was
, the answer.
Well, let US have your indistinct
, recollection"
Mr.. Kelley replied It probably was
month later; he could not recall what
was said. One thing he had in mind
during the conversation, he said, was
hat made the ifty-three Democrat is
vote for Lorimer.
You were thinking of the fifty
three Democrats rather than of the
$4,000 that was supposed to have
been raised?"
My mind does not assimilate tina,
question"
is that because of the 100000 OF
the hfty-three Democrats?"
IT is because of the question"
Did you think there was assimila
lion between the fifty three Democrats
and the S100,000?"
Il tuink there was both assimilat ton
/ and digestion"
Mr. Kelley said he belonged to a

That had room or two there. but
he could not recall that the Funh

c. L. Riley, state manager and III. E.
Payne, p. II. c. r. of North Dakota,
have just returned from Co0perstown
where they instituted a new court OF
the order, Tuesday night OF this week.
The first regular meeting Of the new
court will be held May 16. when an
other large class will be initiated. The
order is in a fiourishing condition all
over the state.
This Is one OF the oldest and most
successful of the fraternal benefit So
cieties. Organized in 1874 1t has for
thirty-six years provided insurance
and other benefits to its members. 1t

payments either monthly, quarterly,
semi annual OF annual, graduated to

Its rates are based upon careful ac-
tual calculation as TO the actual cost
OF risks rather than the current cost.
In the heart of the wilds of the Adj
| irondack mountains, yet in the midst
OF civilization, nearly 1000 feet above
sea level, on the shores of the famous
Rainbow lake, Is where the Independ-
ent Order OF Foresters have fortified
themselves to give battle to the grim
destroyer, tuberculosis. for the lives OF
those of their members stricken by
this dread scourge.
No better situated fighting ground
could be selected than this health CIV
ing section OF mother earth. A few
miles from Saranac and Paul Smiths,
on the main line OF the New York
sotl De- o8n Iul
Here the Independent Order of For
esters have purchased 500 acres Of
mountain land for the purpose Of
carrying on with every modern scien-
tific Improvement, its war upon this
enemy of mankind.
Thousands OF pine, spruce, balsam
and other resinous trees send forth
their health giving doors; miles Of
shaded walks intersperse the unlimit-
ed woodlands that surround the lake
from which the place derives it's name.
The hotel buildings that occupied the
grounds have been rebuilt into a mod
ern and three story sanatorium and
cottage annexes, into which have been
introduced all the improvements
known to science for the treatment Of
tuberculosis. Every facility for out
of doors sleeping and living, has been
provided; an inexhaustible water sup
ply arranged for; every sanitary re-
quirement compiled with, under the
supervision of the health authorities
Of the state Of New York, who pro-
nounce the sanatorium most complete
in every detail. Expert physicians
with a corps Of trained nurses are in
charge of the buildings and their oc-
cupants. The facilities now provided.
will accommodate about $50 patients,
and the accommodation will be in
creased as requirements demand.
