TRIBUNE IN LOR|NER CASE
EVASION OF TAXES BY PAPER is
PUT IN EVIDENCE.
Kelley Testifies to Accident In Make
up That Put Lorimer Bank Story
Near Expose by White.

Washington, D. C.-In order to
discredit the Chicago Tribune, Lori
mer's old-time enemy, Elbridge Han
ecy, counsel for the Illinois senator,
introduced in evidence before the SEN
ate investigating committee a long
statement made by former Gov. Alt
geld, in granting pardon to a Tribune
employee.
Altgeld's statement attacked the
Tribune and it's employees, declaring
the newspaper had avoided payment
of $4,000 a year to the school fund
for rental of the school lands on
which its building was located. Fail
urc to pay its just share of taxes also
was intimated in the statement.
Hanecy asked Kelley many ques-
tons to ascertain how it happened
that an article saying that Lorimer's
national bank would be opened in nine
days was placed Immediately below
Representative Whites confession of
bribery in the legislature that elected
Lorimer.
Kelley explained that he was gu
p~erintending the makeup of the White
story in the paper, and that when the
story had been placed, there remained
a hole at the end Of it. A printer
placed over 1t an article just long
enough to fill it, and Kelley said it
was an accident that the item hap.
pened to be a notice about Lorimer's
bank.

MUsTERs TROOPS
HELD IN READINESS DURING
DIPLOMATIC CONFERENCE.
Moroccan Tangle Between Germany,
France and Britain More Hope
full, But Still Difficult.

Paris, France-Great optimism pre-
vailed at the capital though it was
admitted that the negotiations with
Germany regarding the Moroccan af-
fair remain difficult.
The statement by Premier Asquith
in the British house of commons and
Premier Caillaux's advice to the
French to keep cool and be prudent
relieved the tension at a moment
when relief was most needed and the
discreet military preparations were
giving rise to the apprehension that
Wal was not impossible.
These preparations included orders
to the cavalry to be ready for the
field at the first signal, the heavy
provisioning of the forts on the east
ern frontier by special supply trains
run out of Paris at night, and the
mastering of all regiments to their
full quota.
1t is understood that Baron Won Kid
erlen Waechter, the German foreign
secretary who is conducting the e
tiations with Jules Cambon, the
French ambassador at Berlin, has
modified his original program, and is
now asking for a part, instead of the
whole coast of French Congo, but at
the same time naming other condi-
tons which France would find diff
Guilty in accepting. Nevertheless,
there is a strong feeling that a solu-
ton will be found.

gage in Interstate Commerce Dur

st. Louis, Mo.-A decree modify
Ing the original order for the disso-

lege Of asking for even more time
should the company find itself unable
to wind up it's affairs, in that period,
Is accorded by the modification.
The original decree gave the COM
pany just 80 days in which to dissolve
and prohibited its engaging in inter
state commerce during that time. At
torneys for the company asked for
more time and a modification of the
Interstate clause. The corporation
may now dissolve and reorganize as
1t sees fit, shipping to other states the
while.
