/. DUE TO BRIBERY
LoRndER's ELECTION DECLARED
TO BE CORRUPT.
Judges Ruling In Case Charged as
Unwarranted Interference With
Perocatiyes of LEGISLATURE.

The report of the Eelm senatorial
committee, appointed to Investigate
circumstances surrounding the cleo
ton of William Lorinaer to- the Unit
ed States senate was feturned to the
senate at Springfield, ILL.,, Wednes-
day. The most vital . oints are:
A criticism OF JudG, Petit of Chi
cago, for his ruling - the habeas
corpus case involving ,iilden, Cum
minis and Benedict, and this express
sion:
"Your committee has reached the
conclusion that the election Of Wal-
liam Lorimer before The last general
assembly would not have occurred
had it not been for tribery and cor
ruption."
The report says the committee
went over all the testimony in the
Lee O'Neill Brown, Pemberton,
Clarke and .Broderick trials and also
sets forth the sumnoning Of H. H.
Konlsaat, publisher af the Chicago
Record Herald, and Mr.. Kohisaat's
disclosure of the fact that 1t was
Clarence r. Funk, secretary OF the
international Har: ester Company,
who had told him OF conversation,
which he (Funk) had with Edwin
Hines, in which he is alleged to have
Informed Funk that he had succeed
d in electing Mr.. Lorimer to the
United States senate at a cost to him
and other unnamed persons Of about
100000.
Regarding the habeas corpus de-
cision of Judge Petit in the cases OF
Tilden, Cummings and Benedict, the
committee says:
"sSuch action was an unlawful In
reference on the part of member
of the judiciary with the legislative
branch of the government"
Inability to make a ssrching in
vestigation when all documents alleg-
ed to have been in the hands of TIL
den. Cummings and Benedict could
not be located is noted.
The committee also touches on the
so-called jackpot episode, but de-
clares that so long IS no person pub
licly connected with. that matter, Is
any longer a member of the senate,
no Recommendation is made.

RAVAGES OF INSECTS.
Georgia Cotton Growers Think They
Are Il Menace.

nay be seriously damaged, if not

Hearance on cotton stalks in certain
portions of Georgia, w. H. Ward and
others of Ohoopee, Toombs county,
Georgia, has forwarded to Congress
man Edwards of that state, at Wash

Howard, entomolc.gist Of the depart

These bugs have never before been
known to eat cotton stalks. always
ronining their destruction to the

growers Will suffer greatly when the
parasites spread from section to sec

venuon.

The Washington correspondent OF
The Columbia State says an analysis
uf the row in the Senate over the
election of a president pro tempore
has given special emphasis to the
growing division among the senate
Republicans.
One thing after another Is widen
ing the breach among them and there
Is no sign whatever that it will be
closed. The old guard leaders on
the Republican side and the progress
sives are getting further and further
apart. The feeling between the two
factions moreover is getting intense
Not a few political observers be-
lieve that in the split now on there
Is the forerunner Of grave trouble
in the Republican party in 1912. If
such trouble does materialize 1t will
materialize at the Republican con-
vention. Those who believe third
party is coming believe the beginning
of it is now being fashioned in the
senate in the struggles of the old
guard and the progressives.
Senator Gallinger, nominated in a
Republican caucus for president pro
tempore, might, under the circum-
stances that used to obtain in the
senate, he expected to get the Re-
publican vote, but the progressive
Republicans, with the exception OF
four-Borah, Brown, Kenyon and
Dixon-did not go into the caucus
and did not therefore vote for Sen
ator GallinGer. They consider
themselves in no way bound to sup
port Senator Clapp, one of their own
number.
The split comes after two years
of constant factiona] fighting. OF
course there were forerunners OF
trouble before the last special .ses-
sion on the tariff, but when that ses-
sion was held the differences be-
tween the regulars and insurgents
became acute. In the seven ballots
cast in the senate on the question
four insurgents voted steadily for
Clapp. They were Bristow, LaFol-
lette, Gronna and Poindexter. Had
they been present, Senators Cum
mings, Bourne, Crawford and Works
would have voted for Clapp.
Senator Bacon, Democrat, got 80
votes as his highest number. The
highest Senator Gallinger got was
32. Clapp got four votes and the
others were scattering. Senator
Bacon narrowly escaped election but
he did not quite get majority OF
those present and voting. A few
changes, it is true, would throw the
election to Gallinger, but it is a
question whether any such changes
will occur.
In the first place Senator Calling
er is recognized as one Of the lead
ing conservatives of the senate old
guard. The conservatives charge
him with being strongly reactionary'
They are fighting not Gallinger per-
sonally, but the things he is standing
for. They insist that man Of more
liberal views ought to be in the chair
of the presiding officer of the senate.

PEACE In SIGHT.
Diaz Announces willingness to Resign as
President Of Mexico.
BEFORE FIRST OF JUNE

De La Bara, Minister of Foreign Az
fairs VIII Take Charge With Mad
ero Acting as Chief Adviser
Treaty OF Peace Expected to Fol-
low Surrender of Diaz.
Advices from Mexico City is to the
effect that President Diaz and Vice
President Corral will resign before
June 1. Francisco de la Barra, min
lister of foreign relations, will be-
come provisional president ad in
terim.
Francisco I. Madero, the reolu-
tionary leader, will be called to the
city of Mexico to act as de la Rarra's
chief adviser and as the greatest
guarantee possible that every pledge
made by the goernment will be car
ried out.
AS viewed by the public it will be
virtually a joint presidency, pending
the calling Of new presidential elec.
ton.
The cabinet will be reorganizad.
The minister of war will be named
by de la Barra. The foreign Office will
be in charge of a sub-secretary NAM
ed by de la Barra. Other cabinet
members will be chosen by de la Bar
ra and Madero acting jointly.
a new election will be called with
In six months. Political amnesty
will be recommended to the chamber
of deputies.
These are the conditions upon
which President Diaz will aompro-
mise. Virtually they are admitted
in high quarters to be complete
surrender to the revolutionists.
The resignation of Diaz and the
"joint" regency" Of de la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute a guar
antee so complete that the original
insurrecto demand for IA governors
no longer needs to be considered.
The cabinet was in almost con-
tinual session for two days and de-
spite the severe illness of President
Diaz. The presidents entire face is
infected from an liberated tooth. He
speaks with the greatest difficulty,
but while he is in severe pain, his
condition is not regarded as calling
for alarm at this time, despite his
advanced age.
The governments conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carabajal on
Wednesday afternoon with instruc-
tions to submit them to Gen. Madero.
If they are accepted, which is re-
garded as certain, an armistice COW
coering the entire republic of Mexico
will be signed. Inasmuch as the gov
ernment believes 1t has made every
concession that the revolutionists
have requested, it is firmly believed
that a treaty of peace will follow.
Without abating one lot Of their
admiration for the man who has
made modern Mexico, the public re-
ceied the announcement Of his in
tended resignation with profound sat-
isfaction. Since the battle Of Juarez
they have realized that the presi-
dents remuneration of his high office
alone could bring about peace. Bus
mess throughout the republic has
suffered severely and the people gen
orally were eager for an honorable
peace.

BRYAN GIVES HIS VIEWS.

Trust Question More OF an Issue NO"
Than for Years.
William Jennings Bryan, while at
Toronto, Ont, on lecture tour, said
wednesday regarding the Standard
Oil decision: "This decision is likely
to make the trust question more OF
an issue than it has been in recent
wears. While OH the face of it the
decision seems a victory for the gov
ernment, it virtually amends the anti
trust law by constituting it to prohibit.
not all restraints of trade, but only
such restraint g. the courts, after
each lengthy litigation, nay decide
to be unreasonable. 1t will be not
iced that Bryan's views coincide
closely with the opinion rendered by
Justice Harlon.

serve with he and Justice Sulli-
van during the session of the SUI
preme court which will convene

the date mentioned he found it
impossible to accept the honor
conferred, and telegraphed his
regrets to Justice Ailshie at
Boise. In his letter to Judge
Steele Mr.. Ailshie said among
other things:
In view of the fact that you
now have five counties in your
district, we have hesitated some
what in calling on you for this
assistance, and so we want you to
advise us freely and frankly
about the matter, and if you are
so crowded with your own work
we will not expect you to under
take this"
Chief Justice Stewart, who re-
Gently went east for treatment by
the. famous Mayo doctors at Ro-
chester, Mimi. was referred by
them to DR.. j. M. T. Finney, at
Baltimore. He is now at John
Hopkins hospital in that city, and
will soon undergo an operation
at the hands of Doctor Finney.
Senator Borah has visited Justice
Stewart at the hospital, and has
received words of encouragement
from the attending physicians
which give hope of the ultimate
recovery of the honorable jurist.

TO ADVERTISE
IDAHO COUNTY
Hartman and Hill Represent
atives Make Overtures to
Commercial Club.

Representatives from both the
Oregon-Washin Railway &
Navigation company and the
Northern Pacific met with a fair
gathering of Grangeville citizens
at the Commercial club rooms on
Wednesday night of this week
and presented to them plans for
advertising Idaho county with
purpose of settling on Camas Prai
rie a reasonable number of the
homeseekers which it is known
are coming to the west this sea-
son to make their homes.
G. w. Mount, district freight
and passenger agent of the Har-
riman line and Mr.. Wells, the
able representative of the adver-
tising department of that COM
pany, had a fixed appointment
with the citizens of several days
standing, and were therefore Civ
en- the greater portion of the even
ing, being followed later by j.
j. Wilson who represented the
advertising department of the
Northern Pacific, and who, as he
stated, was present because the
newspapers had announced that
he was expected to be at the
meeting. The plans presented,
while involving considerable fin
ancial outlay, seemed to impress
those present with the idea that
they would bring the results, and
it may be that they will be taken
up. 1t is quite certain some ad-
vertising will be adopted.
Mr.. Wilson remained over in
the city today, and will further
interview our citiznes, while Mes
sers. Mount and Wells returned
