election. And so his men voted for
me on that day
1T Was after all the other names
had been rejected said Lorimer,
that at the urgent request OF Gov.
Deneen, ! consented TO become can
didate. IL was declared that | was
the only man who could AFFORD To be
elected by the aid OF Democratic
votes.
THAT is the statement OF fact.
That Ii the true history OF the cleo
ton In the state OF Illinois up TO this
point. Does IL show that for months
before, was conjuring up plans TO
make my henchman speaker and
foist myself on that body as a eandi-
date 20 SENATOR"
The supporters of Lorimer deyel-
oped surprising display OF confidence
early today and passed the word
around that Lorimer expected 10 have
So votes in his favor.
'Iorimer had only seven majority
in the Illinois legislature" said one
OF his hackers. IF our expectations
are fulfilled. he will have a majority
OF nine in the senate"
No senator having been named 20
succeed the late Senator Hughes, OF
Colorado, the body now consists OF
81 members. II Lorimer refrained
from voting. there would be a pos
sibilty of a tie on the question OF the
adoption OF the resolution declaring
his seat vacant, In which event the
resolution would be lost.
The claims OF the Lorimer men
were not given much credence by he
opposition senators, but there was a
general impression that in the last
few days, the Lorimer ranks had been
strengthened.
IL was pointed out that In case OF
tie vote, the decision would lie with
Vice President Sherman. who would
then have the right to vote. This pos
sibility was declared negligible. how.
ever as il was asserted that in such
event. Lorimer undoubtedly would
vote unless he had positive assurance
that sherman would vote in his favor.
III the resolution declaring Lorimers
seat vacant is adopted, the senate VIII
have decided that there was no cleo
ton i'm Illinois. The effect on Lori
mer would be the same as expulsion.
except that IL would be somewhat less
unpleasant to him personally.

TARDY CORPORATIONS ARE
FILING THEIR REPORTS
Time Limit For Submitting Docu-
ments To Secretary Of State
Expires March 10.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 22.-(Spe
cial. Under a law placed on the
statute books many years ago, all In
corporated companies are required To
file an annual report with the secre-
tary OF state. and when the fiscal
year OF the company ends. Dec. 81, the
annual report must DE filed with the
state department by the first OF March.
However, the law allows ten days
grace and the time limit Is therefore
extended to March 10. Failure 10 file
the annual report before March 10
makes the offending company liable to
q fine OF 500 or possibly $1,000 In
the discretion of the court.
At the present time these reports
are being fled with the secretary at
a rapid rate and every mall brings
new consignment These reports
are carefully checked and filed and
are accessible TO any one. There Is
one motor company in the state that
failed to fiie its report a year ago. and
although no action has been taken
against the offender by the states
legal department the company's cor
porate reports have been suspended
and legally Ii cannot make contract
or collect debt until the matter has
been Strengthened out.
Two years ago the National Biscuit
Co. failed To file it's report and John
+. Bird, encouragement at that time,
served notice that proceedings would
be instituted to collect the fine. Otto
Kirchner, of Detroit, took the case
of the National Biscuit Co.. but ow-
ms to the fact that he left the SKATE.
action was temporarily suspended by
the attorney-general's department. u
Is said. however. that Attorney-Gen-
eral Kuhn will start proceedings In
the near future either In the circuit
court of tngham county or before the
Kent county circuit Judge.

A large part Of the

"Wall Street" Is due
to frauds perpetrated
on the small investor

by means of alluring
circulars and adver-
tisements in the news
papers. To the sue
cess of such swindling
enterprises q portion
of the press contrib

Papers which hon.
estly try to distin-
guish between swind-

and others may not in
every instance sue
coed in doing SO; but
readiness to accept ad-
vertisements which
are obviously traps
for the unwary Is
evidence Of q moral
delinquency W h C h
should draw out the
severest public con-
domination.
So far as the press
in the large cities Ia
concerned the correc-
ton of the evil lies, in

who, by refusing their

ously guilty In this re-

Old Citizen Passes Away Following
Surgical Operation.

Willis Edison, general manager of the
Capital City Vitrified Brick and Paving
company, died at st. Francis hospital at
ITO O'Clock today following an operation
for an abcess of the colon.
Mr.. Edison was "A years of age and had
been a resident of Topeka for Al years,
coming to this city from Galesburg, Ill
He was born in Knox county, illinois,
June 10, 1897, the son of Willis and Orpha

with a year in Lombard university.
He served three years in the civil war

NO TRUST CASE DECISION
An Opinion Is Not Expected Until
May 30.

Washington, May 1.-The supreme
court of the United States did not an
nounce a decision today in either
Standard or the tobacco suits arising
under the Sherman antitrust law.
Only two more decision days remain
in the present term. These fall on
May Is and May 20. Unless the de-
ciaions are announced on either one OF
these days the trust cases will go over
until the court convenes next October.
Persons who have conceived a notion
that the court might consider an effect
on the stock market are predicting that
the decisions will be handed down May
20, the last day of the term. Because
of the large number of cases usually
disposed of at such a time some cases
will not be reached probably until after
the stock exchanges have closed for the
day. This is likely to be true in the
trust cases for the reason that the
senior judges are the last to hand down
tNNir opinions. furthermore, the next
day will be decoration day and a holt
day on the stock exchange, giving the
market many hours to adjust itself, it
is argued, to any opinions.

DROWNED IN A TUB.
Child Dies in Unusual Way But Sus-
picion of Foul Play GroundIess.

Two-year-o old Margaret Hunter,
daughter of Mrs. Bertha Hunter, who
lives with her father Thomas Cort-
mill, GIG Branner street, was drowned
Saturday night in a tub of soap suds.
Saturday was wash day and the tub
of suds was left in the back yard.
About o'clock the little girl. who was
playing in the yard, was found strang-
led in the tub by her mother.
Coroner H. H. Keith was called. To
all appearances and according to the
story of the mother, the girl had found
the tub and had fallen in while dabbling
in the water.
When the mother-in-law of Bertha
Hunter heard of the death, however,
she refused to accept the story of the
drowning. The father of hte child and
its mother have been separated and he
now is in Wichita. The mother-in-law
is said to have been trying to gain pos
session of the little girl.
She appealed to the coroner and the
county attorneys office for an inquest
today but an investigation discredited
her claim and it was not granted.
She claims she has heard the child s
mother VOW she would kill the girl
before she let the grandmother or any
of the fathers people get her. She
also says neighbors have reported the
same talk from the mother
