OWEN OFFERS RESOLUTION
ILLINOIS STATESMAN SCORCH-
lNGLY DENOUNCED IN BOTH
INSTANCES
ACCUSED ADDRESSES SENATE
DECLARES HIS INNOCENCE AND
INNOCENCE OF HIS FRIENDS
OF BRIBERY CHARGES

Washington. Jan. 9-The fight tt
prevent United States Senator Viii
liam Lorimer of Illinois, retaining his
seat, opened today, with the contest
between Senators Beveridge of In
diana, ana Owen of Oklahoma, both
of whom contested for the right to
fire the first gun in the cause.
Senator Beveridge, by virtue of be-
ing a member of the committee on
privileges and elections, gained a
victory, by filing the minority report
of the investigating committee, at
tacking the position of his colleagues
on the committee who voted to ex-
onerate the Illinois senator.
Senator Owen, however introduced
resolution, declaring the election
of Senator Lorimer null and void.
The conclusion of Mr.. Beveridge's
report read:
ludJ lnlo ClCSO1Oh We'o
under any possible view Of law"
With Mr. Beveridge's report was
the statement chat William Lorimer
was not duly and legally elected to
his seat in the United States senate
by the legislature of Illinois"
Before the report was filed, Sen
ator Lorimer made brief speech,
declaring his innocence of bribery
and the innocence of his friends in
any participation in corrupt practices
in connection with his election.
In his report, Mr.. Beveridge declar
ed that the testimony was conclu
sive that "far more than enough
bribery was practiced to inval1datf
the election of Mr.. Lorimer.'
Whether it would require q two
thirds vote or only majority OF th'
senate to unseat Mr. Lorimer, IS al
interesting question which has arisel
in the contest begun today Ia
answer depends upon whether the OF
position to Mr.. Lorimer seeks u
connect him with any corrupt rrac'
ices or merely attempts to show tina
he was the beneficiary of corruptlol
for which he was not responsible.
Senators who have made clos
studies of election contest cases see1
to agree that if the resolution
unseat Mr.. Lorimer should conten
that he was involved principally !
the bribery charges that have bee
made and investigated, the tnl
course would be to vote on the lue
tion of expulsion, to carry which {"
thirds of the senate would have
be recorded in the affirmative.
If the motion were to declare u
election of Mr.. Lorimer to have bee
invalid and void and it was admltti
there was no evidence to connect nj
with the bribery, only a majority vo
of a quorum of the senate would
required to adopt or reject the m
ton.

Northwest's First Apple Tree.
From the Portland oregonian.


The oldest apple tree In the Pacific north
west, planted eighty-five years ago by
the early officers of the Hudson's Bav
Company from seeds carried in their vest
pockets from England, has been discover
ed by A. A. Gutenberg. district horticul-
tural inspector, and positively identified.
The tree is in front of the chief commits
sary's office, in the southeast part Of this
reservation.
Col. McGunnegle, commanding officer of
this post, upon learning of the history of
the tree, gave orders Immediately to have
a fence built around 1t, tablet bearing a
short history and every precaution taken
to preserve it. Inspector Gutenberg says
the tree may live to be 100 years old.
The record of the tree was wr item by
Mrs. Mary Whitman of Vancouver,
Wash, September H. 1886
Another record. it is thought by His
torian Bancroft, is:
AT a lunch party In London about
1925, given in honor of some young gem
item who were about to embark for
Fort Vancouver in the employ of the
Hudsons Bay Company, seeds Of the
fruit eaten were slyly slipped by some
young ladies into the wastcoat rockets
of the young men, and upon their arrival
at their dest. nation the young men in
oyerhauling their wardrobes discovered
the seeds and gave them to Bruce, the
gardener at the fort
Originally there were three trees which
grew from these Seeds but the two others
have disappeared.

without the slightest deviation from it's
perfectly straight track, it thus traverses
the space from one horizon to the other,
again becomes an imperceptible point and
disappears, leaving the spectator marvel
ing at the simplicity with which nature
solves a problem of mechanics which ap-
peared impossible to man.
When one observes a sea eagle perched
upon a lofty cliff 1t may be remarked
that in order to quit it's eyrie 1T waits
until gust Of wind arises. then it lets
itself fall forward with extended wings,
gives a beat or two as it turns. brings
itself to face the wind and thus mounts
without a wing beat hundreds of yards
high.
A gliding bird so sets its wings that the
air currents make an angle with their
plane. The wind thus sustalnS its weight
and gives it at the same time q forward
movement. If its force is stronger than
is necessary to obtain these two effects
it produces a third effect--the bird mounts
into space without wing beat. If the
air suddenly became calm the bird would
fall, but the fall would be astonishingly
slow.
Prof. Drzewiecki has calculated that a
gliding bird, at a height of twelve hum
dred yards. at the moment when it COM
menccs 10 descend with motionless wings,
can by setting them d the most favorable
angle touch the ground at a horizontal
distance of about fifteen miles! lie the

where they will find wind which will
permit them to continue their journey

not from this point of view much
holiness as they generally get credit for.
Thus the stormy petrol is named, not

seek for refuge on ships rigging, and

type Of car illustrates the care with
which the automobile builders are cater

vent Of the closed door car the Jackson
builders were in a quandary as to its
feasibility, especially in cities where a
car Is used for hurried calls with quick
exits and entrances. The question wheth-
err they would equip their car with fore
doors was solved by questioning of
many jackson owners by postal card.
Their vote decided the policy of the COM

was such number who wanted them
made detachable, however. that the Jack
son engineers designed the fore doors to
be removed whenever desired.

- - ANY a car. by dint of constant
~ tinkering, continues to run
uN after it is "all worn out"
When an automobile reaches
this stage of it's existence 1t
may be said to have no value. Long ago
1t has probably changed hands several
times. For the individual owner. there
fore, the practical question is. How far
will this car run before / want to get rid
of it, and what will it's selling value be

Until very recently it was the custom to
consider the automobile purely a means
of recreation. If it was ready to run,
we'll and good. If not, an afternoon would
be spent fixing it up, and no particular
harm was done. Latterly, however, a new
class of owners has arisen, comprising
physicians, business men, commuters and
others who depend on their automobile
for necessary daily transportation. To
these owners Their automobiles are usefui
only SO long as they can be kept In daily
service Two or three weeks may be al
lowed during the winter for overhauIng,
but 1t Is essential that the automoDlIe
shall not give out in unexpected Ways.
If it simply wears out, the various paris
can be watched and replaced or refltted.
When, however, things begin to break or
come loose. the car must passed on to
a less exacting owner, though with care
Its subsequent mileage may be consld-

In the Private Garage.
To be specific. let us assume that a car
is used to go couple Of miles to and
from the station or place of business in
practically all Weathers. During the day
the owners wife uses it in various ways,
such as for paying calls, marketing anu
taking out her friends: also 1t is run as
a rule on a pleasure excursion or from
90 to $50 miles each week end. 1t is
housed in a private garage, and Is kept
clean and in order by the handy man
under the owners directions.
The car for this service will probably
have from twenty to thirty horsepower.
In twelve months it is likely to run about
10000 miles. How many seasons such as
this will it bear before it ceases to be
thoroughly dependable?
The answer will depend almost wholly
on the quality of material and workman
ship in the car. high-grade. high
priced car may easily run $1,000 to $4,000
miles without developing weakness in any
part. 1t will wear out. it is true; but it
will wear out by degrees, and a yearly
overhauling will make everything sound
for the next twelve months. barring
minor adjustments and the like.
How Cars Life Is Limited.
It may. indeed, be said Of the high
grade car that its useful life Is not
limited by the durability Of the major
wearing parts-cylinders, pistons. gears,
bushing. etc.-since all Of these, even the
cylinders. can be replaced without pro-
hibitive expense. The end of it's useful
ness to the average owner is reached
rather when the thousand and one minor
wearing parts become SO loose and SO
noisy that, although the car still runs,
there is no longer pleasure in driving it.
In modern cars more or less Is done to
defer the inevitable day when minor parts
wear out. but when they do it is frequent

Cost Of Fuel, $15,OOO,O 900.

Estimating the cost of gasoline at Is
cents gallon, which is also q, shrinkingly
modest figure, the total cost of fuel for
the great Akron pilgrimage would be In
the neighborhood of S15,OOO,OOO. In other
words, the owners of 1911 cars would
spend that amount in a year for gasoline
to say nothing of fabrication.
Take the subject of tires. A mileage of
5000 Is guaranteed by many of the lead
ing makers of shoes. Thus in the Akron
pilgrimage each OF the 69,00O cars would
require five sets Of shoes in making the
big trip, That is twenty tires for each
machine, or 1,3S0,n0p. Some tire makers
claim that fewer tires would be needed
depending upon the kind used. but the
fact remains that the cold hard guaranty
is based upon 5000 miles of travel and it
is to be assumed that the figures are not
far wrong.
