DEST RUCT|0N OF
MAINE RESULT
Of PLOT
III-F ated BattIeShip Destroyed
By Exterior Explosion is
Finding of Naval Board of
inquiry

lily Morning JOurnhi spec'ai hehseu NHel
Washington. Dee. S. ~ The United
states battleship Maine widchs sank
beneath the waters of Havana har-
Dor in February, 1895 as q result of
an explosion. was blown up from the
outside,
This was announced today by the
naval board that has been examining
the wreck. The finding confirms the
report of the original investigators
who made superficial examination
of the wreck soon after the disaster.
The statement was given out by the
navy department in brief.
Secretary Meyer does not believe 1t
necessary to issue any extended en-
PLANTATION of the boards conclusions,
beyond the fiat statement that an ex-
terror explosion was responsible FOR
the loss of the warship and the lives
of the many men. The statement
follows:
THE board finds that the injuries
to the bottom of the Maine were
caused by the explosion of a charge
OF low form or explosives exterior to
the ship between frames rs and 81,
strake b, port side. This resulted in
igniting and exploding the contents
of the six-mch reserve magazines,
A-tFM, said contents including a
large quantity of black powder. The
more or less complete explosion of
the contents of the remaining forward
magazine followed. The magazine
explosion resulted in the destruction
Of the vessel"
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement on
the report of the board after 1t had
been considered by the president.
one member of the board was of the
opinion that the report never would
be published in full but would be kept
in the confidential files Of the navy
department. The declaration that a
low form of explosive was used IN the
outside explosion, indicates BELIEF
that mine and not a dirigible tor
pedo was the instrument of dcstrue-
tion.
This only deepens the mystery q
the destruction of the Maine. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder TO
blow in the bottom Of the ship must
have weighed several hundred
pounds. TO plant such a mine and
lay the electric connections necessary
for its discharge would have required
the services Of a number Of men.

Ex-COngreSsman Lundin of
Chicago Gives Interesting
Testimony Before LOrimer
Investigating Committee,
[By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire

Washington, Dec. 8. - Frederick
Lundin of Chicago, former represen-
tative in congress of the Sixth Illi-
nois district, furnished an interesting
half hour today before the senate
committee investigating the Lorimer
election, when he related some Of the
workings 6f Illinois politics. He de-
clared that Governor Deneen wanted
the senatorial toga, but did not
quite dare take il because his mas
ters, the newspapers of Chicago,
would not let him.
The witness told the story of the
fight on Senator Hopkins.
"The object was to get several men
voting for Hopkins to vote for some
body else" he said "That would
have made the deadlock secure, as II
took votes away from a strong can
didate, and that was what Deneen
wanted Deneen at that time saw no
hope for Hopkins. Meanwhile Deneen
wanted the senatorship, himself, but
did not quite dare take il because his
masters would not let him.
"Who were his masters? asked
Senator Lea.
"The newspapers of Chicago said
Deneen could do them more good as
governor than he could as q sena-
tor. While he was making up his
mind Il wct' anylaus To have the
deadlock continued, SO he could keep
anybody else from getting It.
Everybody thought Deneen was
for Lorimer, because all of Deneen's 5
friends were" continued Lundin.
"Do you think Deneen was working
for I.orimer?" asked Senator Lea.
Il think he was, because 1t served
his best purpose at that time.
heard him indicate ii indirectly He
did not feel that all his friends had
stood by him and he was willing TO
gather strength by a merger with the
Lorimer men. Deneen was for Lori
mer until there was chance Of his
election and then he was against him."

SHERWOOD PENSION
BILL DEBATED
IN HOUSE
Advocates Of Increased Allow

Civil War Battle to Pass

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wirc'i

IBy Morning JournaI Special Leased Wirc.l
Washington, Dee. S.-Advoeates OF
increased pensions for veterans of the
civil war, battled on the floor of the
house today in the final stages of the
fight to pass the Sherwood dollar a
day" pension bill. The debate Will
continue tomorrow and Tuesday with
the deciding vote on the measure late
Tuesday afternoon.
There were few opponents of the
increased pension. The contest lay
between those who favored the Sher-
wood bill which established pension
based on length OF service; and the
advocates of the Sulloway age PEN
sion bill which was passed by the
house last spring but failed In the
senate.
The house presented a remarkable
appearance as Isaac A. Sherwood
the oldest member, and former gen
eral In the Union ranks, advocated
the passage of his measure. Mem
bers crowded about the open space IN
front of the speakers desk, sat IN the
aisles and hung over desks to get
within range of the voice Of the ONO
member, who had advocated the pen
sion of one dollar a day since 1917.
The Sherwood bill would grant $lo
month to those who served more
than ninety days but less than SIX
months $40 month for service up
to nine months; $25 month for a
service up to one year; and Wv lot
a service of more than one year. No
pension is to be allowed veterans VINO
have incomes exceeding $1,000
year.
The Sulloway bill. which probably
will be offered as a substitute ol
amendment to the Sherwood bill pro-
vides maximum pension Of $50 per
month at the age of 10.
strenuous objection was made 70 tne
provision that an income of $hooo
should make veteran ineligible loi

ed it would "penalize thrift
