FARMER WHIPPED EY OWL.
Victim Of Bird At ack Not Expected
to Live.

Washington, - Philip Cruzan, a
wealthy farmer, is at his home, 15
miles west of here, with practically
no hope for his recovery, as the re-
suit of his encounter with monster
hoot owl.
Cruzan, while walking through his
yard, was struck in the face by the
owl, which, apparently, in its blind
fight, had unintentionally collided
with the man.
The bird, infuriated, fastened its
talons in Cruzan's face and began a
vicious attack. Again and again the
heavy beak penetrated the mans
eyes and Cruzan's efforts to beat of
the bird were in vain Finally, Cru
zan fell unconscious, the bird still
pecking and clawing at his face.

.-QRIMER CASE
INVESTIGATION
lntimation That Prosecution
May Follow.
LORIMER PUT UP TO TAFT.
Edw rd Hines, the Chicago Lumber
man, Alleged to Have Collect
ed the 100000 Sush
Fund, on ths S and.

Washington. 49, Intimation that
prosecution of certain witnesses for
perjury would grow out OF the Sen
ate investigation of the election OF
Senator Lorimer was forthcoming
Thursday during the examination or
Edward Hines, the Chicago million
aire lumber man, whose name Is
connected with the alleged 100000
fund collected to elect Mr.. Lorimer.
Mr.. Hines fiatly contradicted many
statements of previous witnesses,
and the situation aroused Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa.
Now there ought to be some
prosecutions for perjury right here, ="
he exclaimed. He did not indicate
whom he would have indicted, but
his remark created profound i'm
preston.
Mr.. Hines first testimony that at
tracted deep interest was his detail
ed account of how he said President
Taft, former Senator Aldrich and
Senator Penrose had him exert his
influence to have Mr.. Lorimer elected
to the Senate.
Mr.. Hines then detailed in its en-
tirety the testimony of Clarence 5.
Funk, general manager of the In
ternational Harvester Company, re-
garding the conversation the two
men had at the Union League Club,
| in Chicago, shortly after Mr.. Lori
mer's election. Mr.. Funk had testi-
fed that Mr.. Hines asked him on
that occasion for a $4,000 contri-
button to a 100000 Lorimer cam
paign fund. Mr.. Hines testified that
Mr.. Funk asked for an introduction
to the new senator, and for the privi-
lege OF contributing to his election
expenses.
Mr.. Hines added that when he
mentioned the proposed introduction
Mr.. Lorimer objected, because he re-
garded Mr.. Funk as one of his active
enemies. When the Senator explain
ed to Mr.. Hines that he had no cleo
tion expenses to defray, Mr.. Hines
said he decided not to mention Mr.
Funk's offer.
subsequently, he said, Mr.. Funk
expressed disappointment over the
outcome of his conversation with Mr.
Hines, but continued very cordial
even asking Mr.. Hines to get him
seat in the Senate gallery here last
Atm of March. and to introduce Mrs
Funk to Mrs. Hines on one occasion
last spring.
Mr.. Hines also contradicted in tote
the testimony given by Writ II. Cook
Of Duluth, Minn.
\ During the day Mr.. Hines put int
the record copies of all the telegram'
which had been sent to him by Sen
ator Lorimer since the latter's elec
ton, with the exception of one, whicl
he declared he never received. III
told the committee that all his per
sonal checks and those of the com
panies with which he was connected
were open to its inspection.

BANKER MUST SERVE TERM
Morse Loses Another Fight for Re-
lease From JAIL

Atlanta, Ga.-Charles W. Morse,
the New York banker, serving a
term in the Federal prison here for
violating the national banking laws,
failed in his effort to obtain his re-
lease on a writ of habeas corpus.
Without passing upon the validity
of that portion of Morse's sentence of
Is years beyond 10 years, District
Judge Newman denied the petition
for a writ declaring that ten years OF
the sentence unquestionably was
good, and as Morse had not served
out that time the court had no right
now to enter further In the matter.
Morse's attorneys filed notice of
an appeal to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals of the fifth
circuit.
Judge Newman said that he had
no doubt of the legality of Morse's
confinement in the Atlanta prison,
although it had been erected for
hard labor" convicts. He said
Morse might be able to obtain a
transfer to another prison by appli-
cation to the attorney general, but
he believed conditions here were
probably as good, at least, as would
be found in a prison elsewhere.

Bill Adopted by Senate Without
Amendment.

Washington.-The Senate Com
mittee on Census agreed to report
the Congressional Reapportionment
Bill without amendment providing
for 433 representatives, notwith-
standing practically all the commit
tee members had expressed them
selves as opposed to the increased
representation.
The bill provides for AZ represen-
tatives over the present number and
was framed so as to prevent de-
crease of the membership from any
state. Three of the 10 members
present, Senators La Toilette, Du.
Pont and Mclean, voted in the mega
tive, but while expressing disapproval
of the increase the other seven de-
cided to allow the House to have its
way in the matter so peculiarly per
tanning to its own affairs. The re-
port will be withheld for week to
give Mr.. La Toilette time to prepare
minority report, which will be pre-
sented by Senator Bailey.

600 Short at Brunswick.

New Brunswick, n. J.-By a vote
of 2 to / commission government was
defeated here at the special election,
the total vote being 2,520 against,
1,245 for, the majority against be-
ing 1,245.
Even though the majority had
been for it, there were not enough
votes cast to bring the vote for 1t
up to the required 80 per cent. under
the Walsh act. Last year the
registry was 5000, and 1900 votes
we're necessary to be polled for
commission government to carry 1t.
The vote polled fell nearly 600 short
OF that figure.
Not a single one of the six wards
in the city gave majority for 1t.
Many said, Let Trenton try 1t
first" while others said the election
had been called too soon and they
had not had an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the subject
sufficiently to vote intelligently
thereon.

BOY AVIATOR BREAKS RECORD
Files to Harvard-Yae Boat Race
With Pssso ger and 10
Wildly Cheered.

New Londonderry n. Atwood,
the boy aviator, in Burgess Wright
biplaae, made flight of 107 miles,
carrying passenger, in order to wit
ness the Harvard boat races
here, covering the distance in 1875
minutes without alighting, averag-
ing 5l.56 miles an hour, and break
ing the American record for single
assenger-carrying fight across
country.
One hundred thousand visitors
who had come to New London and
were about to leave for the race
course forgot all about college root
ing and cheered wildly when Atwood
circled twice around the Groton
Monument, directly across the
Thames River from the New Haven
Railroad station, passed over the big
drawbridge and flew over the two
mile course at a speed which the
waiting oarsmen at Red Top and
Gales Ferry envied. The Yale and
Harvard crews for the moment turn
ed loose all their enthusiasm and
cheered the daring aviator
Secretary of the Navy Meyer and
party aboard the United States dis
patch boat Dolphin applauded At
wood wildly. and the great feet OF
yachts on both sides of the race
course tied down their whistles and
fred salute after salute from their
cannon.
After passing the Dolphin, Atwood
picked out the west bank of the river
for a landing place He voloplaned
from a height of 1000 feet in two
magnificent sweeps and landed light
ly on the ground in Riverside Park,
to the north of the drawbridge.
Atwood arose in the air from the
Harvard athletic field at Squantum,
at 7.05 A. NJ, having his mech
anician, Eddie Fleet, as a passen-
ger. He passed over Brockton, sail
ing 1000 feet high at 9O-mile clip,
aided by fresh 20-mile breeze at
his back The weather conditions
were ideal all the way across the
States of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, and he reached his destlna-
tion at 80 A. NJ.

COMMISSION PLAN FAILS
SHOWED Under in New Jersey by the
Voters---"Let Trenton
Try II First.

Hoboken, n. J.-Hoboken decided
by large majority of votes Tues
day that 1t does not want commits
sion government.
The total vote polled, with one dis
trict of 200 votes miss ng, was 7,62Z'
of which commission government re-
ceived 2,766, giving its opponents a
majority of 1850. Under the
Walsh act it was necessary for the
commission government advocates to
poll 2,S35, or 80 per cent. of the
total vote cast for members of cleo
tion last fall, which they failed to do.
The campaign for the adoption OF
the Walsh act was a vigorous one.
For week mass-meetings were held
every night, and one of them was
addressed by Governor Wilson. The
commission government advocates
also circulated much literature
throughout the city.
The adoption of the act was op-
posed by the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations, the Police
and Fire Departments and every
ofIice-holder in the city. To many 1t
looked ludicrous to see the two here
tofore bitterly antagonistic organiza-
tions working together hand-in-hand
for a common cause.
The opponents to the commission
form of government did not hold any
meetings or circulate any literature,
but early in the game they began a
still hunt which, as the result shows
proved very effective.
