league In Defending Himself
Brought opprobrium on Senate.

Washington.-A resolution calling
for prompt inquiry into the charges
against Senator Lorimer Of Illinois,
was introduced in the senate by SEN
ator Dillingham;. chairman of the
committee on privileges and cleo
lions. The Democratic senators will
support the resolution.
The resolution was offered by Mr..
Dillingham; In recognition Of the res.
olution adopted by the state senate Of
Illinois calling upon the federal SEN
ate to take action. After quoting the
request of the Illinois upper house In
full the Dillingham; resolution pro-
vides for full investigation by the
committee on privileges and cleo.
lions or subcommittee. with spe-
cial instructions to ascertain whether
corrupt practices or methods were
adopted by any person, firm or cor
poration with reference to the cleo
ton.
Senator Dillingham; announced that
he proposed to press his resolution as
substitute. Senator La Toilette
said he would offer amendments to
his own resolution. He then under
took a brief review Of the Lorimer
case which, he said, disclosed the fol-
lowing undisputed facts:
That Charles A. White confessed he
was bribed to vote for Lorimer, re-
ceiving $1,000 therefor.
That grand juries Investigated the
confession and that during their work
two other members Of the legislature
confessed receiving 'Lorimer money"
leaving no doubt as to their
guilt.
That another member, since de-
ceased. was proved present at distri-
buttons of ''Lorimer money"
Senator La Toilette first discussed
representative government. He said
the government was representative as
long as senators obeyed the popular
will and were elected without the in
terposition of any outside power. He
asked senator's to conceive a man
holding such a trust sitting silently by
with his title tainted. He said the de-
lay by Senator Lorimer had brought
great opprobrium on the senate itself.
Senator La Toilette attacked the SEN
ate system OF courtesy as helping to
veil and undermine representative
government. He said the system tex-
cused and palliated violations OF the
high principles which senators
brought from home. He said there
was some purpose behind 1t, and that.
moreover, he could mot understand
how Senator Lorimer could rest under
the charges against him. X
Washington!-Senator Martin OF
Virginia, minority leader in the sen
ate, acting on behalf of majority
Of that party. introduced in the senate
a third resolution to reinvestigate the
Lorimer case.

the La Toilette and Dillingham; resolu
tons In that 1t provides that the en-
tire privileges and elections commit
tee shall hear all the evidences and
that a special investigation shall be
made Of the Jackpot" in the Illinois
Legislature, with Its relation to and

WAR MINISTER DEAD
MAURICE 5ERTEAux. MEMBER
FRENCH CABINET, IS KILLED.
Premier and Son Injured Several
+ Others Are Hurt When Aviator
Loses Control Of AlrshIp.

Paris.-Henri Maurice Berteaux,
minister Of war, was killed, Antoine
e. Monis, premier of France and min
lister Of the interior. and his son. An
tome, Jr.. were severely injured. and
Henri de la Mourthe. an aged aeronau-
tic expert. and several others painfully
hurt when o monoplane. driven by
Aviator Train. became unmanageable
and plunged into crowd OF specta-
tors at Issy Les Molineaux.
The accident occurred at the start
of what may still be the most ambi-
tiohs aviation event Europe has ever
known--a race from Paris to Madrid.
The distance is 900 miles. divided
into three stages. each aeroplane to
carry driver and one passenger.
So great was the interest in this
event that the premier. the members
of his cabinet and 100000 spectators
were gathered at Issy. which field
bears the same relation to Paris that
Belmont park bears to New York.
To prevent the spectators from
crowding around the hangers and
upon the starting green. troops Of
cavalry were stationed in the field.
Train had made one circle and. al.
though still quite close to the ground,
appeared to be in complete control.
As he swung around the second time,
a troop Of cavalry moving across the
field appeared directly in his path.
Train moved his planes desperately,
hoping in the strong winds to rise
sufficiently to sail over the soldiers and
their mounts. He succeeded in rising,
but lost control of his machine, which
swung in the direction Of a group con.
tanning the most distinguished specta-
tors on the field. and then crashed
heavily upon them.
Premier Monis. his son Antoine. Jr.,
Minister Berteaux, Henri de la
Mourthe. the latter famous throughout
France as an expert on aeronautics.
were scattered right and left az
though they were ten-pins struck by a
ball. Berteaux. struck by the whirl-
ing propeller. was dead when taken
from the ground. The injuries to
Monis were at first believed to be IA
tai. but the doctors state that he will
probably survive.
Strange as 1t may appear. Train and
his passenger escaped practically un-
hurt. although their machine was
smashed to splinters.
Maurice Berteaux. the dead minis
ter of war, was one of the most bril-.
liant men in France.

BANKERS Plea LOST
PRESIDENT DENIES PETITIONS OF.
WALSH AND MORSE
FOR PARDoNs.
ACTION BASED ON RECORDS
Taft Declares That Men Who Fraudu.
lently Use Banks Funds for Pri.
vate Interests Must Be
Punished.

Observation-Disclosures Taft re-
fused to pardon John R. Walsh of
Chicago and Charles v. Morse Of New
York, both convicted of violating the
banking laws and at present serving
sentences in federal penitentiaries.
Walsh is now confined in the peni-
Tertiary at Leavenworth, Kan. On
January 10, 1910, he began serving a
five-year sentence and, under the pro-
visions of the new parole law, he will
be eligible for freedom in the middle
of September of this year.
The decisions were handed down by
the president and followed lengthy
conference with Attorney General
Wickersham. In both cases he fol-
lowed the recommendations of the at
torney general.
President Taft's action in the Walsh
case was based strictly on close
analysis of the facts contained in the
records. Declaring that a man who
uses the funds of bank to promote
his private interests in such manner
that he is guilty of a fraudulent
breach of trust must be punished un-
der the national banking act, the
president swept aside the reasons ad-
vanced by Walsh and the thousands
who petitioned for his pardon.
In denying the application Of
Charles v. Morse, who is now serving
sentence of 10 years in the peniten-
tiary at Atlanta. Ga whepe he waa
sent on January 8. 1910, the president
characterizes his request as prema.
ture, and accordingly he gives the
New York banker the privilege Of re-
newing It after January 1. 1913.
The president denies Morse's appli.
cation for the same reason given in
the Walsh case, after declaring that
.the methods taken by Morse tend
to show that more keenly than Walsh
did he realize the evil of what he
was doing" x.
