Root Says Bribery Has
Been Proved.
PROBtRS' METHODS RAPED
New York Senator Says Sufficient
Has Been Learned in Investiga-
ton TO Invalidate His
Election.
PROBtRS' MfTHODS RAPPEI

Washington, Feb. 4.-Senator hoet
added the weight of his infpence IN
the senate against Senator Lorimsr.
He spoke on the Lorimer case at
length, and there was the greatest In
terest in his remarks. The senators
were nearly all present and the gai'
lery was well filled.
Senator Root opened his remarks
by or.iilising the viewpoint OF the sub
committee that conducted the inquiry
as to the scope Of its duties. He point
ed out that the subcommittee took
the view that the Chicago Tribune
was the plaintiff in the case. He pro
tested against this view.
1T is the case of the senate OF the
United States, the case of the govern
ment of the United States; 1t is the
case of representative government the
world over" he said.
Senator Paynter asked Senator
Root to name witnesses who should
he called who were not. In reply Mr..
Root enumerated several, including
Governor Deneen and Speaker Ehurt
leff.
DAY by day and night by night he
was closeted with Lee O'Neill Brown
and Senator Lorimer." said Senator
Root.
Mr. Paynter said Shurtled was call
ed before the committee.
'fes. for purely formal testimony"
said Senator Root.
Senator Root said the sub-commit-
tee seemed to think the Chicago Tri-
bune the guardian of integrity OF the
ienate. He asked what the Tribune
had to do with ii.
Senator Lorimer was not present in
the chamber, as usual, but was lying
down on a couch in one Of the offices
nearby
Mr.. Root spoke without notes and
in the main his address consisted Of a
careful analysis of the testimony TAX.
en- by the committee The argument
was almost entirely legal.
The speaker lost little time in indi'
eating the conclusion he had reached,
which was entirely antagonistic to
Mr.. Lorimer. He took the position
that the investigating committee had
been at fault in permitting eithe; the
attorney for Mr.. Lorimer or the attor
ney for the Chicago Tribune to direct
its course in the matter of connecting
Mr.. Lorimer with the corruption OF
memers of the Illinois legislature but
agreed that even in the face ofNits
failure in this respect the committee
had obtained sufficient evidence ef'
fectually to faint and inyalldatc the
election.
In dissecting the evidence. Mr.. Root
said:
THE leadership Of Lee O'Neiii
Browne ovJr his followers was proven
to be leadership of corruption. II
was founded on the inveterate custom
of following his vote and dividing t1e
proceeds Of the bribery of watch he
was the collector and distributor
Senator Root insisted the evidence
Of corruption was so compelling the
senate could not ignore it, He utterly
dissented from the view of the com
mittee that the testimony OF White,
Link and Peckemeyer that there had
been bribery was not entitled to be
regarded as the truth.

TO DECKER WITH REBELS
1t is Believed at Washington That
President Davilla is lettering

be Made
TO DECKER WITH REBELS

Washington, Feb 4 The govern
ment OF President Dayila, Of Hon
duras, IN the opinion of the United
States government, Is lettering.
Upon the arrival Of General Bonilla
at Puerto Cortez, the United States
will offer its good Offices to the reyo-
lutionary commander in an effort to
bring about cessation OF the Internal
strife in Honduras.
President Davlla already has inti-
mated that the Intervention OF the
United States would be welcomed. The
American government consequently
will express its willingness to both
parties to exert its good offices for
re-establishiag peace. The command
or of the gInboat Tacoma VIII make
the offer of mediation to General Bo-
nilla.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement of this attitude by the
government, confirmation was recely-
ed in washington and in New York
of a cablegram received from Teguci-
galpa, that the Honduran congress
had refused to approve the Morgan
loan transaction. This confirmation
was supplied by Senior Parades, the
Honduran financial agent now in New
York to negotiate the loan. Senior Pa
redes said he had received a cable
gram from President Dayilla, an
nouncing the rejection Of the loan con-
vention.
The failure to ratify the loan con
ventlon was reported to the state de-
partment by the American minister
at Tegucigalpa The vices indicate
that the convention was introduced
when martial law had been declared
and the domestic political situation so
embroiled that the deputies were re
luctant to commit themselves.
The state department understands
that the treaty will be re-submltted
when the political situation becomes
normal. The American government
does not believe the revolution will
have any effect, as both President Da-
villa and General Bonilla are said to
be committed to the policy.

Anderson, Ind, Feb. 4.-There is
much mystery in the disappearance OF
Miss Sheldon Fletcher, a teacher In

They are much inclined to believe
that the disappearance is the result
OF reading about the Arnold case in
New York.
Miss Fletcher didn't attend school
Thursday ald but little was thought
Of It until Friday, when Superintend'
ent Pearcy telephoned to the young
woman's home and found that she was
not there. The teachers believe she
has met with foul play. Her parents
are greatly alarmed and have appeal

her.
The police have learned that Miss
Fletcher took a deep interest in the
disappearance OF the daughter OF Mil
lionaire Arnold, and they think it may
have affected her mind.
