CHICAGO, October 21.-Chicago's
as a city of ceaseless ac-
tivity-a reputation that has been
typified in the novel and on the stage
by the picture of swarming, hurried
streets, and rushing, jostling men
was borne out in a unique accident
today. Abraham NJ Goldstein, 80
years old, 1921 Indiana avenue, and
F.. S. Lloyd, 1916 West 31st street, AZ
years old while speeding on foot in
opposite directions on East Madison
street on the way to their respective
office lodged a third pedestrian and
ran into each other. Both were hurl-
ed to the pavement and Goldstein
was hurried-in an appropriately
swift auto ambulance-to the Mi
chael Reese hospital, where it was
found in a few swift seconds that
he had suffered a fractured leg.
The corner on which the accident
occurred, near Wabash avenue is
known as a typical Chicago corner.

pular idea of the Chicago man and

CULLOM WRITES
HIS PUBLIC LIFE

As "a member of the Hawaiian Com
mission that framed the Organic Act
of this Territory, Senator Cullom is
well and kindly remembered by many
residents, to whom the following book
notice from the Chicago Daily News
will be interesting:
Fifty Years of Public Service is
the title of Senator Cullom's book,
and it deals with his life work. 1t
comes fresh from the printer just as
the senior senator is about to turn
to Washington, d. c., and away from
the factionalism that he fears threat
ems his party The book is historical
and instructive 1t is replete with
epigrams of the Cullom variety.
The senior senator with his usual
caution has been careful i'm his book
not to say harsh things about any
one. He starts out with his early eN.
periences as a boy and tells of the
men of national reputation with whom
he came into contact His memoirs
deal with Lincoln and others down
to the present time.
Senator Cullom sets forth clearly
that he is a partisan and believes in
party organization.
"My plan has been he writes, ito

careful and conservative progression
within established party lines, and in
such course do l believe that the

IS SENATOR CULLOM OF ILLINOIS
VICTIM Of THE LORIMER BLIGHT?

timony of Senator John Broderick on
Thursday. The ink was hardly dry

as bald a bit of suspicious forgetful-
ness as has been shown before this

terday that the committee would
have to judge from his later answers
whether or not all his yeas should
have been nays. They did find out
and presumably they have judged.
What action they may take is yet to
be determined

could not remember having summon

The question whether Holstlaw
went to Broderick's saloon upon sum

or whether as the saloonkeeping sen

social CALL is vital TO both sides Of
the inquiry. Holstlaw has confessed
that he went twice to get his share
of Lorimer and Jackpot money and
got it. This Broderick has denied flu
emily and emphatically, but the pro
duction of his letter in the face of his
testimony has thrown discredit upon
all his material statements on the
stand. The effect upon Attorney Han

half an hours wrangling with the
committee was needed to calm his
perturbed spirits.
