is only like the obstruction OF n
stream thus forcing the water into ed

they have developed in us the very
power by which we finally overcome
them.

A. J. HOPKINS ON THE STAND
Former Senator Tells offer of TWEEN
ty-Five Hundred Made to Sem
ator Mccormick TO Vote
for Lorimer.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. April 21.-Three i'm
portant points developed today during the
hearing before the senate bribery investiga-
ton committee.
The first was the defiance OF a commit
tee mandate by Edward Tilden. Chicago
packer and banker. 1ilden was under
subpoena to produce his banking accounts
in person before the committee today In
stead he sent a lawyer. The lawyer read
an affidavit and letter TO the committee
from Mr. Tilden. The affidavit said that
Mr.. Tilden knew nothing and his bank ac-
counts showed nothing touching directly or
indirectly upon the election of Senator
Lorimer, The letter stated Mr.. THden
would allow one member of the committe ct
to examine his bank accounts in conf
dence provided Tilden was allowed to name
such member of the committee. Although
the committee held two executive sessions
this afternoon and tonight its members
had not decided at late hour what would
be done in Mr.. Tilden's case.
Evidence on Jackpot.
The second development was when Will
liam Burgess, Duluth (dinn) electrical
contractor, testified that as late as March,
1911, p. A. Wiehe brother-in-law OF Ed
ward Hines. declared that he subscribed
$4,000 to jackpot used TO effect the cleo
ton of Lorimer. Burgess said this con-
versation took. place on the Winnipeg Flyer
I'm the smoking compartment of a sleeping
car.
The witness said he was making a trip
from Duluth TO Virginia, MINI. at the
time
The third phase of the case against Sena-
tor Lorimer was opened by former United
States Senator Albert j. Hopkins OF
Aurora. Mr.. Hopkins testified that former
State Senator Mccormick of Madison
county had told Mr. HOPKINS secretary
John NJ PETERS, that Senator Mccormick
had been Offered $500 to vote for Mr.
Lorimer. Former Senator Hopkins proved
somewhat reluctant witness and his
memory was poor regarding many things
said to have occurred about the time OF
Lorimer's election.

Irate Wife
Makes a Bold Attempt to
Cremate Her Husband.

Sara Moore, a colored woman. was ar
rested by Sheriff McCord last Thursday
evening in Chicago Flats" this city,
charged with setting fire to house near
Newly, in which it was supposed her
husband was sleeping Her story is a
pathetic one, and it may be that the
woman became temporarily insane,
which caused her to do this rash deed.
She is the wife of Isaac Moore, a well
known colored man of the Newly sec
ton. both of them being about fifty years
of age. They have been married for
thirty years, but several years ago do
nestle infelicities arose and they sepa-
rated, the woman going to Cincinnati,
where she remained until a few months
ago, when she returned, and, after re-
Cancellation. they began life again to-
gether, although neither had sued for a
divorce in the meantime.
A few days ago the white winged dove
of peace left the door, aud, after family
quarrel, they again separated. the woman
coming to Richmond. where she took
lodging with friends.
Thursday afternoon about four o'clock
she left the house where she has been
stopping here, and walked to her late
home near Newly, a distance of about
eight miles, where it was supposed her
husband was staying, arriving there just
after dark. To one or two persons that
she met, she declared that she was going
to burn the house and her husband also,
but they paid no attention to her threats.
The house burned TO the ground last
Thursday evening between eight and
nine O'Clock, and her husband, return
ing later. finding the home in ashes. not
fled the officers here to be on the look
out, as he had evidence from persons in
that vicinity, who had seen the woman,
that she declared she would burn the
house.
Sheriff McCord and one of his deputies
learned where she had been stopping in
the city, and lay in wait. thinking the
woman might return. Shortly after
midnight she was seen coming down the
alley Just north of the Government
Building, her shoes covered with dust
and hatless. he officers took her in
charge and lodged her in jail. When
questioned she refused to admit that
she set fire to the house, but said she had
walked to Newly and back since four
o'clock in the afternoon.
