MORE ARRESTS IN
L0RIMER BRIBERY
yEED PERSONAL PAPERS In
L0RIMER INVESTIGATION.
Chicago Packer Insists He Had Plight
TO Refuse Committee Inspection
Of His Papers.

Springfield. Ill.-Edward Tild.n, Chi
eago packer, aud William {. Cumming,
and Gcorge VI Benedict. president and
cashier Of the Drovers Trust and say
ings Bank OF Chicago were ordered ar
rested ON contempt charge by the n
linoiS senate.
This action by the senate was taken
on recommendation of the senate bribery
investigation committee, after Tillen.
Cummings and Benedict had refused TO
produce Tilden's personal bank accounts
for the months OF May. June. July and
August. 1909.
The committee believes these hank ac-
counts will show evidence OF the use Of
money in the election Of William Io,i.
mer To the United States senate. Tiiden
had submitted an affidavit before the
committee stating that these sccount.
show nothing directly or indirectly bear.
ing upon the election OF Lorimrr. lie
al-o had offered. in letter to the com.
mittss. To allow one member TO come
10 Chicago and examine these bank ac.
counts. Tilden made the express stipu.
laiion IN this letter. however, that he
should be allowed to designate the
member
Lieut.1'ov. John g. ogls.by, imme,ii-
striy following the adoption Of the CON-
mittee recommendation. announced that
he would not assume responsibility Of
issuing the warrants for the arrest OF the
three Chicago men.
Senator Helm, chairman OF the inyesti.
eating committee, then made a motion.
which IN effect took from the shoulders
OF the lieutenant-governor the RESPONSE
bility and placed it directly upon the
senate. IL was adopted.
The warrants were then given TO an
assistant sergeant-at-arms of the senate,
with orders to 90 to Chicago at once
and make the arrests.
Attorney Healy, for the committee,
declared the senate had full authority
to examine and command all witnesses
within the state to testify under oath
and TO compel them to produce any Ger.
tain papers or documents.
Attorney Healy showed wherein the
president of the senate had power to
order the imprisonment of persons who
refused to answer TO the senate's com
mands, and quoted from number of
supreme court decisions in support of
his contention that the senate had power
TO force witnesses to produce the re.

In some of the best schools the
pupils are now taught TO roll table
cloths instead OF folding them. since
the folds in linen are usually the hrst
places that show wear. says a con
tributor to the Delineator. The table
cloths are ironed fat and rolled While
being ironed. II is best to use Ia
bic for the ironing board. as this
gives more space Start to roll the
table 10th as soof as a quarter OF a
yard Is ironed and keep the ron di'
rectly in front. turning it as fast as
the ironing Is done. Sometimes tnick
brown paper is used 10 roll the eloth
on. but It must be the width oil the
linen. A clever woman has procured
several mailing tubes. placed them
end TO end and covered them with
fancy wall paper. pasting 1t on Sc
curely. This makes firm tousna'
tion for the roll. Napkins should oe
folded once with the iron and all
other folding done by hand SO they
will not wear ir the creases.
