SENATOR ROOT TALKS
ON LORIMER INQUIRY
Holds IIIinOisan's Election Was
Result Of Bribery.

Senator Root of New York delivered
declared that Senator William Lori
mer of Illinois should be excluded
from his seat in the senate because of
corruption by which his election was
brought about. Senator Root spoke
for more than two hours and made a
profound impression on the senate.
The New York senator held the I'M
divided attention of his colleagues as
he discussed the report of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, by
which Mr.. Lorimer was exonerated.
Mr.. Roots position had been ques-
ton of much speculation and so high
is the esteem in which his opinion is
held that it is known some members
of the senate have held in allegiance
their own opinions until they could
hear from him.
There was a large attendance of sen.
ators and the galleries were filled.
Mr.. Root spoke without notes, and in
the main his address consisted of
careful analysis of the testimony taken
by the committee. The argument was
almost entirely Legal.
The speaker lost little time in indi-
eating the conclusion he had reached,
which was entirely antagonistic to
Mr.. Lorimer. He took the position
that the investigating committee had
been at fault in permitting either the
attorney for Mr.. Lorimer or the attor-
ney for the Chicago Tribune to direct
it's course in the matter of connect
Ing Mr.. Lorimer with the corruption of
members of the Illinois legislature,
but agreed that even in the face Of
its fault in this respect the committee
had obtained sufficient evidence eff
fectually to faint and invalidate the
election.
Following the conclusion of Mr..
Roots speech, Senators Bailey, Hey
burn and Paynter defended the re-
port of the committee on privileges
and elections, of which they are mem
bers, and declared that the testimony
before the committee showed that
Lorimer was entitled to his seat. Sen
ator Bailey replied that if Mr.. Lori
mer was to be excluded on account
of general corruption in Illinois poll
tics, then his colleague, Senator Gull
lom would probably be subjected to
the same process of elimination, for it
could probably be shown that the leg
islature which elected him was also
corrupt. Mr.. Bailey's remark was
called out by an observation of Sena-
tor Hale that the testimony in the
Lorimer case showed a shocking con-
dition of corruption in the Illinois leg
islature.

Giving Him Carte Blanche.

A few years ago John Kendrick
Bangs, the humorist, told a number OF
his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had just received from Henry
w. Savage, the theatrical producer
for the libretto of musical comedy.
The play was produced few months
later. During the long period OF re-
hearsals so much of Bangs material
was eliminated and SO much other ma
terial inserted in it's stead that when
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half a dozen of the
original lines remained.
About week later a friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him if he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
eyes, replied Bangs. "Only an
hour ago 1 sent him 500 blank sheets
Of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked" Irwin Cobb in New York

Lightning struck the historical old

the building to a mass of ruins.

were about $4,000 in money and
about 100000 in script. This vault is

The capitol stood on a high bluff
overlooking the Missouri river and
was approached by long flight of
stone steps. The building was begun
in 1888 and was occupied by the legis

Starve a Cold.

Nature, as a rule, takes the appetite
away when one is coming down with
a cold or other infectious disease. and
nature is wise Don't coax Mary to
eat when she has cold. Don't allow
the neighbOrs to tempt Johnny with
calf's foot jelly or other dainties.
When suffering from a cold the diges-
tive organs are in no condition to care
for food. The digestive juices are al
tered or entirely absent. One or two
days comparative fast will often as
sist in averting q severe siege of cold.
A more convenient and enjoyable form
of fasting would be to SubSist for one
or two days upon fruit or, fruit juices
perhaps. with the addition of a little
toast. An exclusive fruit diet has all
the practical advantages of complete
fasting, while it satisfies the appetite
and supplies sugar from which the liv-
err can manufacture giycogen to sus-
tain the white blood corpuscles in
their continuous warfare against mi
crobes.- William S. Sadler in Designer.
