Springfield, Ill, May 1s.-Governor
Deneen last night issued a statement
in reply to Speaker Adkins attack
upon himself and the deep waterway
bill yesterday. After recapitulating
promises which he says Mr. Adkins
made him about bringing the question
to a vote, the statement largely is in
defense of the measure. He closed by
saying:
"A small minority represented by
the speaker can nullify constitutional
provisions and direct the course of leg
islation in utter disregard of the will
Of the majority. It is plain that only
one class of persons can be benefited
by their action. that is the class that
is trying TO seize the water power

ATTACKS RULING

Law, Scores Decision on
Standard Oil.
EXPRESSION OF BELIEF
Chief Justice White, He Says, Read
Into the Sherman Act What
Was Not There.

New York, May 1s.-Albert H.
the Sherman Law" discussing the
Standard Oil decision before the New
York Finance forum here last night,
declared the pronouncement of Chief
Justice White. incorporating the word
unreasonable" into the Sherman
law was not, and never will be, an
opinion of the supreme court, but
was simply an expression of the chief
Justices private views.
Is But HYsTERIA.
Present excitement aroused con-
corning the chief Justices argument,
he said, is but unfortunate hysteria
due merely to misunderstanding
Of the courts ruling.
=; = ;s--,r iUss fsSii7g sHirgss = he,szMHrl
Gin view of the Tremendous excite
ment raised pro and con is that all
this talk of Whites about unreason-
ableness does not make the law of
the land at all, but is simply what
we lawyers call an obiter-dictum, a
discussion of a matter not before the
court, entirely gratuitous. 1t was
merely an insertion by White of an
opinion which he has been holding
for so years and which did not rep
resent the law at all.
REVERSED ITSELF.
The law is laid down by the SUI
preme court Is years ago in the
trans-Missouri case, and in that case
the supreme court announced defin-
itely in a lawmaking decision-not
in an obiter dictum-the reverse of
this obiter dictum."

Gardner, D. D., IN the annual sermon
before the Southern Baptist conven
ton here today, referred to the Unit
ed States senate as that once re
spectacle organ Of the government,
condemned the seating OF Lorimer and
discussed other recent public events
in language equally vigorous.
Gardner enumerated incidents he
considered unfavorable to the public
welfare, and in this discussion refer
red to the senate as follows: AN
other action of the senate of the Unit
ed States in which a majority of the
senators covered that once respect
able organ of government with infa-
my and the nation with shame, by
voting to receive into their official
comTadeship a man who owed his
election to grossness and baseness of
political corruption which all but

of the bill creating county superin-

noon refused to suspend the rules
for consideration of the bill on the
order of second reading.
The bill was called up by Repre-

county surveyor of Cook county with
lobbying against the passage OF the
measure and also declared the bridge

in the county board of each county,

should be passed upon by the state

Resolutions Asking Reopening
of Case by U. S. Senate
Adopted.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1S.-Two
resolutions were introduced in the
senate today by the Helm investigat-
ing committee. One asks the United
States senate to reopen the Lorimer
investigation. The other asks the
life of the Helm committee to be ex-
tended until May 81 for the purpose
of continuing the charges against
Senators Pemberton and Broderick,
so that they may be given a hearing
before the committee.
CONDEMNS OWN ACTS.
Barr, of Joliet, offered an anmei-
ment to the first resolution condemn
ing the failure of members of the leg
fslature to carry out the will Of the
people as expressed at the polls, In
the choice OF a United States senator,
which action to the senate seems
most reprehensible and should be
condemned" A long, bitter debate
followed. The senate by an almost
unanimous vote adopted Barr's amend
ment. The senate, 80 to 10, adopted
the resolution calling for the reopen
ing of the Lorimer investigation.
On the resolution extending the
time of the investigating committee
to May 81, the chair ruled it extended
the time beyond the sine die adjourn
ment. An appeal from the chairs rul-
ing was lost and the chair declared
the resolution tabled.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Springfield ILL.,, May 1S.-"Your
committee has reached the conclu-
cir ha 80
inner before the last general assem-
bly, would not have occurred had it
not been for bribery and corruption"
/ Tnfs~fg the finding set down IN the
report submitted to the Illinois SEN
ate late yesterday by the senate brib-
cry investigating committee. The
committee was appointed early in
the session to examine charges that
bribery and corruption furthered the
election of William Lorimer to the
United States.
SUBMITS SYNOPSIS.
The committee submits a brief
synopsis of all testimony taken in
the United States senate's investi-
cation into Lorimer's election and in
the trials of Senators John Broderick
and Stanley c. Pemberton and Rep
resentative Lee O'Nell Browne,
charged with bribery and corruption
in connection with Lorimer's cleo
tion and the alleged Jack pot" deal
The whole question of the brib-
cry and corruption charges was plac-
ed by the committee before the SEN
ate for whatever action the members
deem fit. No attempt was made In
the committees report to recommend
the reopening OF the Lorimer investi-
cation by the United States senate
or the unseating of members Of the
Illinois legislature charged with
bribery and corruption.
Is RECEIVED.
On motion OF Senator James A.
Henson Of Decatur the senate agreed
to receive the report. On motion OF
Senator Douglas w. Helm, chairman
of the committee. consideration of
the report was made special order
for today.
The two most vital points in the
report are a criticism of Judge Petit
for his ruling in the habeas corpus
case, involving Tilden, Cummings
and Benedict and the direct charge
that the election of William Lorimer
to the United States senate was
founded on bribery
