Mr.. McAndrews has told his friends he
will not withdraw.
Governor Deneen has no power to
name successor TO Mr.. Lorimer The
Illinois legislature failed legally to elect
Mr.. Lortmer Senator, and a vacancy,
therefore, does not exist by virture Of
his expulsion. according to a long state
ment by Attorney General Stead. The
governor has not made any decision as
to calling special session OF the legis-
lature to I'LL the vacancy.

were on the streets. Then inquiries be-
gan to pour into the White House.


gan to pour into the White House.
Here Is the Story.
The story as published in the Ney
York Tribune is as follows: ,..
An attempt was made on the life
of President Taft yesterday, when
scme one sent to the White House an
Internal machine addressed to the
Chief Executive.
Had the machine exploded, prob
ably every one in the office of the
Secretary to the President would
have been killed. AS It was, Sher-
man Allen, the assistant secretary,
was slightly hurt. He received a
burn on the hand when he smothered
the burning fuse which greeted him
when he opened the box containing
the machine
Secret Service men were promptly
notified Of the affair and the machine
was turned over to them for examina-
ton. When they had finished they
reported that the machine contained
six pounds of highly explosive dyna-
mite, powerful enough to have de-
stroyed the Executive Offices.
There was little chance of such an
attempt on the life Of the Chief Ex-
ecutive proving successful, for Presi-
dent Taft never opens any of his
ter or parcel passing through the
hands of one or two secretaries.
Smothers Fuse.
Sherman Allen found the package
containing the Internal machine on
his desk when he reached the White
House yesterday morning. When
he opened 1t and saw a burning fuse
he was quick to act, smothering the
fuse with his bare hand.
The matter was quickly hushed
up, only a few persons knowing any
thing about 1t. The Secret Service
men will at once begin an investiga-
ton with view to finding out who
sent the machine
This is not the first time that an
attempt has been made on the life
OF the President by means of an
internal machine, but It Is the first
time one has come so near to ex-
ploding in the Executive Offices.
Just how the internal machine
reached the desk of Assistant Secre-
tary Allen, whose duty II is to open
mined. All that Mr.. Allen knows is
that he found the small. neat-look-
ing package, addressed to the Presi-
dent of the United States. on his
desk: that he never for a moment
though Of the possibility, that there
was anything wrong with It, and
that he opened it as he does all other
mail.
In Small Box.
After removing the outer wrapper
Mr.. Allen found a small box. with a
sliding cover. This he pushed back.
only to reveal a fuse which had been
. ignited by the movement Of the
cover. Instantly he grasped the fuse
The Washington times., 1912-07-18

and jerked Il out. at the same time
smotherinG the ire with his hand.
There have been other Internal
machines sent to the President, but
little about them has been permitted
TO reach the public. 1t Is the theory
of the Secret Service that in the ma
jority CT cases, at least, the senders
of such machines and the authors
OF other attempts on the life of the
President are persons of diseased
brains. and that II Is dangerous to
permit the details to bsscome public
because they act as suggestion to
, others with equally .disordered mem
: tality. For that reason every effort
is made to suppress all details, and
this ,wss the case yesterday. In fact,
the Secret Service men have fire.
quentlt denied the facts, believing
the safety OF the President warrant
ed that course.
At most, however, the only dam
age such things could do would be
the injury Of the secretaries, who
occupy an office separate from that
ofsthe Chief Executive. There have
been fewer attempts on the life of
President Taft than were made on
that;of President Roosevelt, although
the appearance of a lunatic armed
with knife or gun at the White

are. many lunatics who have come
to Washington with the avowed pur-
pose of seeing the Chief Executive
and have been found not armed.
Recalls Former Case.
The most notable instance Of an in
sane person seeking to approach
President Roosevelt was that of Mrs.
x.,hA
been removed from an office under
the Government. Mrs. Morris sought
an interview with Mr.. Roosevelt to
Law before him her grievance on the
in-considered advice of the wife OF
a Government official, who had no
idea of Mrs. Morris affliction. Mrs
Morris refused to leave the Execu-
tive offices without seeing the Presi-
dent, and when officers tried to es-
cort her from the building, she drop
ped on her knees, screaming, and
compelled them to half drag and half
carry her from the scene.
AS rule those who are mentally
deranged and who seek interviews
with the President present them
selves at the front door of the White
House proper, where no one IL ad-
mitted without a previous appoint
ment, and their demands to see the
Chief Executive promptly reveal their
condition and lead to their arrest.
It Is some time since an attempt
has been made on the life Of the
Chief Executive by means Of an in
fernal machine. Yesterdays occur
men on their guard. and II will be
a long time before II will be possible
to get another package of such
character into the office building.

Granville Mooney Will Not Take

Granville w. Mooney, former speaker

retary of the Treasury.
Mooney indicated to the President he

not to leave for a political job. He
