BOUTELL IS INVITED

Minister to Switzerland Invited
to Lorimer Inquiry.

Already RepIete with
Contradictions.

Cablegrams have gone 10 Henry
Sherman Boutell. minister TO Switzer-
land. inquiffng In behalf OF the Lori
mer investigating committee when he
will be able to appear before that body
and give his version OF his talks with
President Taft regarding the Illinois
senatorial situation OF 1909.
Senators on the committee saw a
denial of the story Edward Hines told
OF those talks cabled from Bern, Swift
zerland, and over Mr.. Boutell's sigma
ture.
1t is anticipated that the former
Chicago congressman will reach the
shores OF this country for q visit be-
fore the committee ends it's work and
that 1t will not be necessary TO urge
him TO make special trip 10 explain
his position.
The scrap OF paper which Mr.. Hines
presented purporting TO be a note from
Mr.. Boutell is in possession OF the
committee. The only reason the com.
mittee has 10 believe IL came from the
present minister is Mr.. Hines declara-
ton that II is his handwriting II is
unsigned, undated, is on plain paper
and lacks even superscrfption.
The writer says he was able 10
bring of the goods" for Senator Lori
mer by seeing President Taft. Mr..
Boutell says he never wrote anything
on the subject.
His denial further complexities the
evidence before the committee. which
is replete with contradictions and per-
jury.

Lorimer, continued the cross-examina-

the governor said the cashiers moral

seeing that the Tribune had failed 20

also that II undervalued It's property

Obituary..

Death has visited another home
and another of our oldest citizens
has passed to her eternal home of
rest. Malissia Lovelace was born
November 22d, 1868, and died
April 9th, 1911. She was the
mother of fifteen children and the
grandmother of twenty -seven.
She leaves q host of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. She
was of that character of love and
kindness which won the love and
friendship of all who knew her,
kind word and a pleasant smile
for those she met. No mother
could have done more for her fam
lily than sister Lovelace, and dur
ing her month of suffering every
thing was done for her that sons
and daughters could do. She
seemed to have anchored her soul
in Gods promises and was a
mother of prayer and faith. Her
life is reality of I'd Corinthians,
1913. The family has lost a good
Christian mother but her life was
an incentive for good to all. Her
relatives and friends came for
miles and 1t was the largest funer-
al ever Witnessed at Des Arc.
Services were held at the grave
yard, the writer conducting them,
and used for a text, Luke, 14:8.
(She hath done what she could. }
May the Christ that saved this
mother come into the heart and
life in saving grace to all those
who mourn her death, and may
the entire family be waited to their
eternal home and live with Jesus
and their mother and the created
angels and redeemed saints in
glory forever and ever.
