Deneen Denies Statements
Made by Senator Lorimer

SPRINGFIELD. H.. February oS.-Gov.
Deneen last night made the following
statement on the speech of Senator Lori
mer in Washington yesterday:
Il have only such measer Information
regarding the speech made by Senator
Lorimer today as the editions OF the
Springfield papers contain. ! notice. how
ever that he follows the course which
I have often observed followed by men
charged with serious offenses when I was
states attorney. Of trying to escape an
explanation Of the facts against him b!
making charges against men who a:e
not on trial.
MIR. Lorimer states that l consented
to become candidate for senator and
then Immediately withdrew. Tbs Is not
true. I never gave my consent 10 nm
or anybody else to become candidate
but on the contrary, refused to do SO
and stated to every one who spoke Il
me upon the subject that l refused u
become a candidate and would not ac-
cept the Office il elected.
Did Not Seek Votes for Any One.
HE charges that Edward Shurtleff
became speaker because l threatened
to deprive representatives of patron
age should they vote for him. and that
tried to elect one Of my friends as
speaker. Neither Of these charges is
true 1 threatened no one with taking
patronage for him. nor did I ask any
member to vote for any particular per-
son for speaker
Senator Lorimer states that / could
have elected Mr.. Hopkins senator at
any time. In view of the fact that he
charges in the same breath that I could
not elect speaker. this statement
falls by it's own weight and needs no
further refutation.
"He states that Mr.. Shurtleff was one
Of Mr.. Hopkins managers. This Will
be news in Illinois.
He added to the list Of candidates.
whom he claimed in his speech OF May
%, 1910, that he submitted to me. the
name Of Mr.. George Edmund F'oss. My

stands now as to Mr.. Foss.
''He states I urged him (Deneen) to
become a candidate. telling him I be-
lieved he would reunite our party, torn
asunder by factional strife.
Support of Democrats.
"The only hope OF electing anybody
but Senator Hopkins lay in securing a
large democratics support. No demo-
crat offered me such support and the
assurance of that vote came entirely
from Senator Lorimer. who appeared
even at that time to have authority to
speak for the democrats in this mat
ter.
"He gives reasons why the democrats
would support him. I have looked in
vain in his speech for reasons why
they would support me or any other
republican who he named in his speech
yesterday.

AT THE EMPIRE,

Manager f. T. Dolly of the En-
pire today issued the following
statement: "In view of the failure of
Carlotta to present her loop-the-loop
act at the Empire last night, l feel
that my patrons are entitled to an
explanation. In the first place, the
massive paraphernalia employed in
the act was delayed in a railroad
wreck enroute from Grand Rapids,
Mich, and did not reach the city un-
til yesterday. AS the pieces were
assembled it was discovered that one
of the sections of the runboard was
missing Notwithstanding this, / urg-
ed that the loop be put in place upon
the stage. AS the carpenters were
connecting the last sections ii was
found, to my great surprise and dis
appointment, that the Empire stage,
despite that it is one of the largest
in the country, was short about a
foot. This made II impossible to pre-
sent the act. After a conference with
Cerlotta and her manager last night,
it was agreed that l should cut hole
in the east wall of the theatre to ar
ford the necessary space for III
structure on which the sensational
ride Is performed. put dozen men
at work tearing out the wall early
today. I have been promised that
all will be in readiness for the ride
at tonight's performance. However,
in the event Of unforeseen circum-
stances preventing. I desire TO repeat
the announcement made last night
that any person coming to the theatre
for the express purpose Of seeing Car
lotta's act, and II is not presented, j.,
may have his money back at the box

Another angle Of objection which
finds hearty support in this country is
the fact that the presumable victory of
Johnson over Wells would do much TO
increase the spirit of unrest among
the blacks. who form a large percent

ULTIMATUM FOR SHOPMEN
Company Tells Employees at Opening
of Negotiations That Increase
Is Impossible.

In a detailed statement to the Mo-
line Dispatch, H. q Nudge, president
of the Rock leland railroad system,
explains from the company's view
point the negotiations now in prog
ress at the Chicago Offices between
employers and employees. President
Nudge writes. in so many words, that
the men need not expect an increase
in pay at this time. He further de-
cIares that the Rock Island system Is
treating its employees fairly when it
takes such a stand. President
Mudge's letter is printed in full be-
low:
REVISION OF SCHEDULES SOUGHT.
Editor Dispatch: Your letter of the
18th instant received on my return
from New York.
The conference to which you refSr
was brought about by a request of
the representatives of the employees
in the various mechanical trades for
a revision Of their schedules. These
schedules have always been made
separately with each craft and when
the employees desired TO change the
schedules, a notice was served by the
individual craft upon the company
and the negotiations conducted sep
arately.
This year, in place Of the custo-
mary procedure of serving individual
notices of the wish for change in
conditions, the representatives of the
machinist. boilermakers, carmen,
blacksmiths and sheet metal workers
served a Joint notice on behalf of a
new organization which they called
the Rock Island Federated Trades. 8"
RECOGNITION DECLINED.
This company had not been con-
suited and had no official KNOWLEDGE
Of the organization of this so-calIed
federation. In view of the fact that
the procedure was different to that
customary in previous negotiations,
the company declined to recognize
the federation, but did say to each
individual craft that it would meet
with any of them at any time after
the proper notice had been served in
the customary manner.
After informal conferences. the
company finally decided. in the alb
Stute OF more QtH0lte information
as to the purpose and intent of the
federation, to meet a general COM
mittee of employees representing the
interested trades. for the reason that
there are many rules and regulations
which are common to all crafts and
in discussing such common rules and
regulations the company did not OBJ
jeCt to meeting a general committee
representing the employees TO whom
the general conditions apply; but on
the other hand, there are many con-
ditions in each trade that are not
common to other trades. The work
of each trade is so different in its ma
ture that uniform rates of pay and
conditions Of service cannot be uni
formly applied.
The negotiations have proceeded
amicably and should be drawing to
a close.

on a parity, as regards wages and
general conditions, with other rail-
roads in it's contiguous territory.
The company expects TO continue this
policy as long as business conditions
permit and as long as the manage
ment is able to run its property for
the interests of the public, its en-
ployes and its owners.
The men were told at the beginning
of these negotiations that ii was not
possible for the company to give
them any increases in rates of pay or
any changes in the rules that would
increase the expenses of the COM
pany because of the condition of the
times. and it was suggested to them
that they ought to carefully consider
whether they could afford to stay here
on expense with the positive assur-
ance that they could not get an in
crease.
EARNINGS BELOW LAST YEAR.
This has been our attitude all
through and Will be to the end. With
the earnings of the railroads very
much below last year and in view of
all the increases in wages that have
been made during the past few years,
it is positively certain that no rail-
road company Will make an increase
in wages during the present year.

that they are not asked TO take re-

ditions and the large number of men

TEXAS WORST LYNcHING.

THAT lynching down in Milan
county, Texas, few days ago turns
out to have been about the most in
excusable, outrageous and damnable
piece of mob work in all the history
of such crimes.
"In the first place, the victim was
12-year-old boy, very small for his
age. He was not accused of the 'one
crime He was not Negro. .'-Chica-
go Journal. ..
We can not agree with the Journal
in it's characterization of the lynching
of the 12-year-old boy as the worst
piece of work ever done by Texas.
About three years ago mob of Tex
ans lynched an Afro-American woman
for crime alleged to have been COM
mitted by her brother. To THE AP-
PEAL that seems to be more hellish
mob murder than the one referred to.
1t is not a crime but fashionable
pastime, to lynch black folks in Texas.
It's the worst crime possible, down
south, to be born black.
