MOTHER GETS
BOND FOR SON

Sioux City, June s.-Merritt Bates,
the 16-year-old boy who shot Michael
Jones at the latter's rooming place.
Thursday in the police court waived
preliminary examination on the
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily injury. He was bound
over to the grand jury.
The boy later was released on a
cash bond of $3.50, furnished by his
mother. Mrs. Flora Bates. Mrs. Bates
sold her furniture to raise the money.
The placing of a minor charge
against the Bates boy was the result
of efforts made by his mother and H..
L. Houghton, together with the for
giving attitude of Jones. The in
iured mans first expression with re-
gard to mis- assailant was that he was
sorry the boy was arrested
The police and representatives OF
the county attorneys Office expressed
sympathy for Bates.
Jones' condition To-Day was reported
favorable. He still is at the st. Vim
cents hospital.

STATE GETS KATE
SHELLEY'S LANTERN

Boone, June S.-A common switch.
mans lantern, rusted with age, it's
globe broken and the guard battered
with long use, was on the desk Of r.
r. Harlan, curator of the state histor-
ical department, recently.
SIS that Diogenes' glowworm?"
queried a Des Moines state house re.
porter, laughing at the wreck of what
was once a perfectly good lantern.
THAT is one of the most CHERISHED
of many gifts to the state in recent
years. said Curator Harlan, handling
the old thing of rusted steel as care
fully as though it were fragile. He
went on to explain that the lantern is
the one carried by Kate Shelly when
sine tagged the Northwestern passen,
ger train near Boone in that thrilling
journey years ago.
Miss Mayme Shelly, a sister OF Kate
Shelly. who died recently, went to
Des Moines to present the state with
the lantern whose light guided Kate
across the tottering bridge so that
she might warn the engineer and save
his load of lives.
The lantern has never been used
since that night It still contains the
same miners lamp Kate fitted it with
before she started on her perilous
trip. The lantern had no wick. so she
found a miners lamp-one Of those
little pot-like things the miners wear
IN their caps-filled with kerosene and
made wick from a. piece of her cloak.

KERN ENDS HIS
SENATE SpEACH
KERN CONCLUDES LORlMER AD-
DRESS-FINAL SECTION OF
TALK BEFORE SENATE.

Washington, D. c., June g. Senator
Kern of Indiana, resumed In The sen.
ate Saturday his attacq on the valid.
1ty Of Senator Lorimer's election.
Senator Kern of Indiana spoke for
three hours Friday afternoon in
support Of the resolution unseating
Mr. Lorimer of Illinois, but again
failed to conclude his remarks. The
entire speech was devoted to an ex-
animation of the testimony, with the
view Of showing that many new facts
Of an discriminating nature had been
brought out by the second investiga-
ton. He sought among other things,
to impeach the testimony of Edward
Hines, attempting to show that he
had been unduly active in Mr. Lori
mer's behalf He will conclude today.
Mr.. Kern declared that many mem
bers Of the Illinois legislature, in
Guiding Senator Holtslaw and Charles
A. White, had received large sums
about the time that money in the in
terest Of Lorimer is alleged to have
been used. He critically analysed the
testimony of various democratic
members of the Illinois legislature.
He said that notwithstanding VIII
liam C. Clair was known to be impe-
cunious he had exhibited a number of
one hundred dollar bills after a visit
to Thomas Tippit, Lorimer support
err, and he "poohpoohed'' the claim of
John H. DeWolf that he had got $500
used for the purchase of piece Of
land from family bible.
He also declared it suspicious that
so many members of the legislature
hired safety deposit boxes soon after
the Lorimer election.
Senator Kern contended that all
doubt had been removed from the
confession Of Senator Holtslaw to the
effect that he had received money
from Senator Broderick for voting for
LorimeT. Charles A. White, the demo
cratic member of the house, whose
confession was the basis of double
Lorimer inquiry, Senator Kern said,
was not as black as he had been pic
tured.
Mr.. Kern undertook to show
Whites connection with Lorimer and
Browne by quoting letters from
Browne, promising employment for
White through Lorimer, which he
said was made to placate White.
will the senator indicate in what
part Of the record he finds any sug-
gestion that Lorimer was trying to
placate White?" asked Mr.. Lorimer,
speaking of himself in the third per-
son.
Mr.. Kern replied that this was
shown by the correspondence in
which it appeared that Mr.. Browne
had promised a federal place and had
actually obtained place in Cook
county for White through Lorimer.
would you have the senate under
stand that senator's efforts to OBJ
tain a position for member of the
Illinois legislature who had voted for
him is an evidence Of corruption?"
asked the accused senator.
Standing by itself, no. Taken in
connection with thousand other cir
cumstances, yes replied Mr. Kern.
Taft is the Third Man.
