Edward Hines on May 2S, the day
Senator Lorimer was elected.
1t would be ungallant for a gentle
man to ask lady her age" began At
torney Edgard Farrar, of New orleans.
rather helplessly.
Judge, I am of legal age" responded
the witness with rosy cheeks heighten-
ing in color The witness said she had
been with the lumber company for ten
years. She read her record of long
distance calls on May rs. Among the
entries was Governor Deneen at
Springfield to Mr.. Hines. 1925 to
1929"
And Mr.. Lorimer at Springfield to
Mr.. Hines, 11:4O to 11:42." These
dates correspond with Illness testi-
mony regarding the telephone CONVEX
sations. Miss Carroll said that Mr..
Hines talked to Governor Deneen from
the Continental Bank.
Miss Carroll declared that she over
heard the conversation between Gov
ernOr Deneen and Mr.. Hines and de-
tailed it practically as Mr.. Hines had
described. She denied that Mr. Hines
said he would go to Springfield with
all the money needed to elect Lorimer
as others have testified.
Can you say why you remember
this conversation T. inquired Attorney
Farrar.
We'll, as it was the first time / had
ever had Governor Deneen on the wire,
I listened"
Then after a pause she added:
Il have lived in Senator Lorimer's
district and know his family, and it
was certainly a very particular con-
versation and I paid particular atten-
ton to it."
Attorney ]. J. Healy, for the COM
mtttee, cross examined the witness.
He asked her if she could recall any
of the other eight long distance calls
through her exchange on that day. She
could not. She could not remember
what kind of a day May 26 was. She
testified that the first time her at
tention was directed to the converse
ton was when Mr.. Cook testified be-
fore the Helm committee" twenty
three months afterward.
Mr.. Healy asked Miss Carroll If she
could recall the dates and substance
of any other long distance converse
ton Mr.. Hines had had during the ten
years Of her employment. She could
not recall any except two.
why do these two stand out above
all others that you can remember"
principally because of what Mr..
Cook testified TO and interest in Mr..
Lorimer."
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-07-02

Miss Carroll explained that she was
not personally acquainted with the
Lorimers, bu was a communicate at
the church which Mrs. Lorimer
sang.
Fred Carney, Of the Carney Lum-
Der Company, Marinette, Wis, the
next witness, gave testimony which
agreed with Illness description Of how
Funk approached him at the Union
League club. 1t was in this converse
ton that Funk declared Hines asked
him to contribute to a Lorimer cleo
ton fund, where as Hines testified that
Funk asked for the privilege Of con-
tributing TO such a fund.
The committee decided to take a re-
cess from this afternoon until July IS,
when ii will reconvene in Washing
ton, instead Of Chicago, as originally
planned, to resume hearings.

BY Associated Press.

Chicago, July 1.-Riverview Park,
one of the largest amusement places
in the west, was threatened with de-
struction by fire believed to be of IN
cendiary origin early today. Half a
dozen concessions were destroyed with
an estimated loss of $4,000.
The fire started in a vacant store
just outside the park and spread In
side the grounds.
Miss Anna West, night nurse in the
baby incubator, who was sleeping on
the grounds, was the first to give the
alarm. She succeeded in removing her
ten charges to a place of safety be-
fore the blaze gained Roadway.
Shortly after the firemen arrived the
flames burned down a telegraph pole,
carrying with it electric and tele-

The late Senator Frye attributed bis

fondness for sport and the world out
doors. Two months each year be en-
joyed at his camp by the Rangeley
lakes the keen delights Of the rod and
gun. II there was one achievement
of his life Of which he was inclined to
boast it was that Of having caught the
largest square tailed trout ever taken
with q fly. But some time ago at a
dinner this boast was challenged by
no less an authority than Professor
Agassiz. That great naturalist assert
ed that the Maine senator was in err
ror, for 1t was a scientific fact that no
true trout ever attained the weight

enough to catch an eight pound speci-

packed in ice and sent to Professor
Agassiz. The professor acknowledged
his defeat in the following laconic line:

Capitals We Have Had.

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had Eve capitals,
but the statement is not correct The
United States has had but three cap
itals-New York. Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption of the constitution no
place was legally constituted capital.
In loose and unofficial sense 1t is pos
sible to describe as a capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions of the Continental
congress as establishing seat of gov
eminent in the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila-
delphia. Baltimore. Lancaster, York.
Princeton, Annapolis. Trenton and
New York. The articles Of confedera'
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia. and the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.
