Repeats Banquet Explanation
of Bathroom Incident.
TWO EXPLANATIONS DIFFER
Variance Between Those of SHEPPARD
and Witness Is Held to Be Sq-
acknowledgements Will
son Debonair on Stand.

Chicago, Oct 1S.-The Lorimer in
vestigating committee of the United
States senate heard Representative
Robert E. Wilson, alleged distributor
of Jackpot money in the Illinois leg
islature, deny emphatically all charges
against him.
Mr.. Wilson was on the witness
stand the entire day Through a long
and severe examination he smiled
continually and seemed about the hap
piest man in the room.
Although his explanation of the
bathroom incident in the Southern no.
tel in st. Louis on July 10, 1909, diff,
fered from that of any of the other
bathroom boys" he stuck to the story
he told before the former senate com.
roittee.
He described at considerable length
a plan to arrange for a banquet in
honor of Lee O'Neil Browne, minority
leader in the 1909 session, and of a
trip to ST. Louis to consult Demo-
cratic members from southern Illinois
regarding it.
Since the death of Representative
Joseph Clark of Vandalia Mr.. Wilson
is the only person connected with the
bathroom incident giving the proposed
banquet as the reason for his ST Louis
trip. Former Representative Henry
A. Sheppard OF Jerseyville, who
testified before the committee last
week, said that he merely CHANGED to
meet Mr.. Wilson in ST Louis and that
he never knew the purpose of the lat
ters visit. Mr.. Sheppard said that
Mr. Wilson told him nothing about a
banquet.
or the six Democratic members of
the legislature who are said to have
received 5000 Jackpot money from Mr.
Wilson, Mr.. Sheppard is the only one
still living who denies he received
money
The confession of Charles A. White
led to the confessions of Michael
Link, who since has died, and of H. J.
c. Beckemeyer. Mr. Beckemeyer tes-
titled that Mr.. Wilson invented the
banquet story year after the bath
room incident.
Representative Clark, the fifth leg
islator said to have received money
from Wilson, stuck to the banquet
story until his death few months
ago.

BEST SHAMPOO
FORHOME USE

For quick, easy shampooing and re-
storing the natural gloss to dull, streaky
thin hair" writes Mae Martyr. famed
beauty specialist. in the Philadelphia
News there is nothing to compare with
a shampoo made by dissolving a teaspoon
full of canthrox in a cup of hot water.
1t makes a creamy, cleansing lather that
removes every bit of dirt, dandruff and
excess oil and stops itching. 1t rinses off
easily and the hair dries in just a few
minutes.
This splendid shampoo gives the hair
a most pleasing lustre and fluffiness and
will have the commendation OF every
woman troubled with scanty, short brit
tie or faded hair.
The alkah in soaps and most ready
prepared shampoos is responsible for
many scalp troubles such as DUH. streaky,
falling hair-ofttimes nistskably attrt-
buted to wearing false hair."--Adv.

Georgia Mayor Sends
Regulars to Church
Asks Judge Crawford to Adopt the
Same Plan in the Omaha
Court.

Ten days in church" This is the by
word which the mayor of small Georgia
town is trying to institute into the police
courts of the larger cities of the country,
and Judge Crawford was the recipient of a
letter this morning from Alonzo M. Brand
mayor of Lithonia, Ca. asking him to
consider such sentence for drunks and to
test 1t out.
1t is said that these four words have
wrought the reformation OF the town
drunksrds" at Lithonia and practically all
of the other of Iithonias bad citizens and
1t is the belief of Mayor Brand that the
sentencing of such characters to church
in other towns would bring about the same
results.
II this method of furnishing drunks should
be instituted in Omaha the words Ten
days in church" would mean the same as
Ten days on the rocks means now. In
other words, the usual plan OF sentencing
offenders to the workhouse, changing or
rocks would be supplanted by the more
charitable 90 method of forcing them reg
ularly to attend church services on Sun
day.
Ten days in church" is the creation of
Hon. Alonzo NJ. Brand, a sturdy, rotund
Georgian, who has been mayor of Lthonia
for the last two years. He said In his letter
TO Crawford that when he took the oath of
office he determined 70 do something new,
and he did it, AS the chief executive OF
he little town, It became his duty TO pre-
side over the municipal court. the tribunal
in which breakers OF the town laws pass
in review Instead OF Furnishing offenders
Mr.. Brand set about to reform them.
/ In order TO do this he evolved several
plans in his mind, finally hitting upon one
which he adopted nj order to know that
the sentence is being carried out. Mayor
Brand requires the offender to report TO
him every Monday morning, with a certln-
cate signed by the minister or some other
official of the church, certifying that the
offender attended each Of the Sunday
services. In the event a service is missed
and there is no reasonable excuse the Of
fender is fined.
Judge Crawford believes the method
would be of benefit TO a small town but to
place the size of Omaha the churches
would be crowded every Sunday with a
class of people which would soon destroy
the membership roll so that nothing but
offenders would be attending the divine
