la TOILETTE HINTS
At new EVIDENCE
SAYS NEW IORIMER INQUIRY
SHOULD SHOW TWICE 800.
900 WAS SPENT FOR HIS
ELECTION.

Washington, d. C.-Revelations
concerning the election of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois may be expected
as the result of an investigation into
the bribery charges against him, If
the predictions made by Senator La
Toilette in the delivery of the third
installment Of his argument in sup
port of resolution of inquiry are real
lied.
MI. La Toilette p%rophesied that
more than twice the $4,000 here
tofore alleged to have been used,
would be found to have been spent.
He said, President Taft had been
used in Lorimer's behalf, and reiter-
ated that Lorimer had personal
knowledge of the use of money.
Referring to the Hines statement
concerning a long distance telephone
conversation between Washington
and Springfield, Mr.. La Toilette said
that at Lorimer's request Hines had
telegraphed to Lorimer the substance
of his telephone representations to
him.
This telegram he said, should be
produced. There is no proof" said
Mr.. La Toilette, chat the president
was interfering, but 1 think there
was a scheme to put Lorimer through
and it was believed the use of the
presidents name would be potential.
There is no doubt but that his name
was used in a telegram and there is
no doubt that it was used behind
locked doors and drawn screens. It
helped to win members who could
not be reached otherwise"
Discussing Hines activity in the
Lorimer campaign which was ac-
counted for on the ground that Lori
mer would favor a duty on lumber.
Mr.. La Toilette said that during the
last Lorimer investigation by the sem
ate Hines was much in evidence
about the capital at Washington. He
said Hines had appeared again. at the
opening of the matter at this session.
Then, evidently referring to the cleo
tion of Stephenson of Michigan, the
speaker said:
"In another senatorial campaign in
Wisconsin, his (HinesO henchmen
were VIGOROUSLY active for the sue
cessful candidate and his principal
agent has not dared to remain within
the borders of the state"
Mr.. La Toilette quoted much of the
testimony taken by the Illinois leg
islature to support his contention that
Lorimer had known of money being
used, and he hoped that the senate
would Find the men back of his in
fanny, no matter how high up they
may be in the financial world" He
referred to the interference by Judge
Petit of Chicago in the investigation
of the accounts of Edward Tilden
whom he characterized as a "Lorimer
Judge"

PRESIDENT DENIES
PARDON TO BANKERS
DECLARES MORSE AND WALSH
SHOULD STAY IN PRISON BE-
CAUSE RICH SHOULD BE
PUNISHED LIKE POOR.

Washington, D. C.-President TAT,
last night denied the application fol
the pardon of Charles w. Morse OF
New York and John R. Walsh oil
Chicago, the two most prominent
bankers ever convicted and sent tc
federal prison nuder the national
banking laws. Not only did the pres
ident refuse to pardon them, but he
also declined to exercise any other
executive clemency in these cases OF
to shorten the sentences imposed by
the courts.
In denying the pardons, the presi-
dent took a firm stand that the ma
tional banking laws or any other
laws must be upheld, when they af-
feet the rich man even mor than
when they affect the poor. The
record in the Walsh case the presi-
dent said, "shows NOR turpitude of
the insidious and dangerous kind,
to punish which the national bank
ing laws were especially enacted"
In considering the case of Morse
the president said that "from a con-
sideration of the facts in each case,
I have no doubt he should have re-
ceived a heavier sentence than Walsh
Indeed the methods taken by Morse
tend to show that more keenly than
Walsh did he realize the evil that
he was doing"
The presidents denial of the par
don application does not mean that
the men must stay in prison until the
ends of their terms. Walsh began a
sentence of five years in the Leaven-
worth prison in January, 1910, and
under the federal laws is eligible for
parole next September. Under the
parole law, Morse would be eligible
to parole in 1915. Both men made
strong efforts to have the president
exercise clemency. He was beseiged
by friends and attorneys Of both,
Mrs. Morse got up a monster petition
which was signed by SCORES ,of men,
bers of congress and other leading
persons. Former Senator Hale of
Maine did much in her behalf. The
pleas of i'll health and reimbursement
of all depositors in the Morse and
Walsh banks, were made in both
cases.
The presidents action was in ac-
cord with the recommendations of
Mr.. Wickersham.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color-Dandruff
Quickly Removed,

There is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color OF
the hair. Our great-grandmothers Kept
their locks soft, dark and glossy by
using "sage tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance they made brew
of sage leaves and applied it to their
hair. with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have TO resort to
old-time, tiresome methods of gathering
the herbs and making the tea. This IS
done by skillful chemists better than we
could do it ourselves, and all we have to
do is to call for the ready made product
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
