Washington, July 14.-Gov. Charles
s. Deneen Of Illinois, was today cross
examined by counsel for Lorimer con-
cerning the testimony he gave yester-
day to the senate Lorimer investi-
eating committee.
Nearly every phase of Illinois poll
tics was entered into by Attorney
Hanecy in the cross examination.
Hanecy sought to show that 1t was
Deneen who organized the legislatures
during his term as governor and not
Lorimer, but Deneen was certain he
himself had not dictated the chairmen
Of the committees and that Lorimer
had attended the conference some
where" wherein 1t was agreed to have
a minority of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis organize the house which voted
for Lorimer.
Hanecy sought to show that If fifteen
Deneen men had voted for Hopkins on
the first days balloting for senator,
neen was unwilling to say that all
these fifteen were fuil-fiedged Deneen
men. Deneen could not recall, he said,
exactly when his friends decided, or
first discussed the question of post
poning the election of Hopkins, but
said he felt it was some time after the
balloting for senator had begun. The
witness explained that all that was
done to postpone the Hopkins election
was to have about ten men vote for
Foss. On the last ballot, he said. they
returned to Hopkins.

ALLEGED THAT GOVERNMENT

VANCE OF MEN AND THAT THE
ATTORNEYS ALLOWED AFFIDA-
WITS AGAINST THEM TO REMAIN

BY Associated Press.

Washington, July 14.-After a secret
consideration of charges made by Dele
gate Wickersham of Alaska, that the
attorney general Of the United States
deliberately permitted the statute Of
limitations to run out against agents
Of the Alaska syndicate who defrauded
IL government, through perjury. to
the extent of S5o,00o, the house com
mittee on judiciary determined to re-
port favorably the resolution Of inquiry
offered by Delegate Wickersham.
The resolution would call upon the
attorney general to furnish the house
with all documents, afidavits and tes-
timony in his possession relating to an
affidavit submitted to him more than a
year ago and sworn to by H. j. Doug
las, former auditor Of the Alaska syn
dicate In 1908.
Delegate Wickersham startled the
committee when, in executive session,
he produced a copy of the affidavit re-
lating to an alleged criminal act COM
mitted by Capt. D. H. Jarvis, Of the
Alaska syndicate, formerly prominent
In the government revenue cutter SER
vice. who committed suicide in Seattle
PRODUCTION of the Wickersham resolu-
papers in the case, and by John H.

nivsnce Of these men, 1t was charged,
the government was defrauded on the
coal contracts and that evidence to
that effect had been permitted to re-
main not acted upon in the attorney
generals office more than a year until
the statute Of limitations had expired

Mystery Surrounds the Death
Of an Aged Alabama Farmer

examination there was found no trace
Of any blow that might have been
struck, and the mystery Of the death
is how the neck became broken. IL is
rather thought by some in the COM
munity that the man must have met
with foul play. However. nothing has
been unearthed that would lead to
suspicion Of the murderer. The only
bruises that could be found were those
on the face, which DR.. Martin pro-
nounced to have been caused by the
fall on the stump.
The entire neighborhood is mystifed
by the affair. In the opinion OF
physicians the man did not die OF
either sunstroke, heart failure or
appoplexy. However il Is said by
some that II might be possible that
the man was killed by a stroke OF
lightning. Just the cause Of the death
Will possibly never be known. He
leaves several small children, his wife
having died some time ago. He was a
very prosperous farmer and a highly
respected citizen.
