TRIES TO SAVE LoR|MER
Hanecy Files Brief Likening
Senator to Martyrs.
Counsel Makes Plea of Res Adjudlcata
and AssaiIs Character Of Evil
dence Heard.

Washington, March 2. = Investiga-
tion of the election of William Lori
mer is characterized as an inquisition
and the junior senator from Illinois is
likened to historical martyrs of church
and nation in a voluminous brief filed
with the special senate investigation
committee by Attorney Elbridge
Hanecy. Bitter arraignment is made
Of the four confessed bribe takers of
the Illinois legislature, of the private
detective and other agencies in the
work, and of what is characterized as
popular clamor" demanding that Sen
ator Lorimer's seat be vacated.
The brief covers two arguments:
First, the doctrine of res adiudicata,
which is that the case was settled by
the vote in the senate of &c to 40
March 1, 1911, exactly a year ago,
and. second, that the evidence heard
"is incredible, worthless and incom-
pe1ent.'
The bitter and sensational allega-
tioLs in the brief come when Attorney
II. necy expresses his opinion of the
evidence produced to prove Senate
Lorimer's seat was obtained by fraud
and corruption.
That Senator Lorimer and his coun-
sci do not intend to rest with the de-
cision of the committee is indicated
by the comments on the doctrine of
res adjudicata.

BRITISH MINERS
TO REST A WEEK
important Issue InterjeCted into
Congress by Caucus.
TO MAKE UP SUGAR DEFICIT
Placing of Latter Commodity on Free
List Means Loss of $53,000,o00 a
Year Revenue, and New Measure
May Return that Amount.

Washington, March 1.-THE import
thrown into congress in an emphatic
manner by the Democrats of the
house.
At a caucus of the majority party OF
the house bill proposing 1 per cent
tax on all net incomes in excess of
$4,000 was unanimously Endorsed. The
bill will be passed within the next
two weeks.
The levying Of this income tax is
the means proposed by the Democrats
for meeting the loss of $4,000, 900
year in revenue caused by the placing
of sugar on the free list. A bill re-
moving the duty on sugar has been
reported Dy the ways and means COM
mittee. 1t was also Endorsed by the
Democratic caucus with the members
from Louisiana and Colorado, sugar
producing states. bitterly protesting.
The Democrats of the house present
a novel method of evading the SUI
preme court decision declaring the in
come tax unconstitutional While
,ey acknowledge that the tax pro-
POSED by them in the present bill is
an income tax pure and simple they
poration tax law, which the supreme
court has held to be valid.
They have, accordingly, embodied
their income tax scheme in an
amendment to the corporation tax
law, which was passed by congress on
the recommendation of President
Taft. This amendment purports to
extend the corporation tax law to In
dividusis, firms and co-partnerships
having an annual income of more
than $4,000. The term business" as
employed in the bill is held to en-
brace everything about which "a per-
son can be employed and all activi-
ties which occupy the thine, attention
and labor of persons for the purpose
of livelihood or profit" According
ly the terms of the bill apply to pro-
fessional men as well as to men of
business and to all employees except
those who draw their salaries from
state, county or municipal govern
ments. The president of the United
States himself will be taxed 500 a
year If the bill passes, and each mem
Der of the house will be separated
from $25 annually.
The unexpected appearance of the
income tax issue in congress caused
big stir here and completely over
Swallowed in Importance the radical
action taken by the Democrats in plac-
ing sugar on the free list.
The Democrats expect that the pro-
posed tax will raise between $50, 0O0,-
coo and s60,000,ce0 annually.

School House Made Social Center.

The use Of school house as
social CENTER is told of in a
letter from cousin of Mrs. Under
wood who lately moved to near
Miami, Florida.
The writer tells of the new COM
ers fiocking in to settle the country
that has been made available by
the great drainage system that has
been established, large per cent of
the people being new residents, and
therefore unknown to each other.
There is a school house, of course.
and the letter of a meeting at the
school building one evening, where
men, women and children met for
the purpose of having social visit,
and getting acquainted with each
other.

ties a saloon is the first place start
ed, and over the bar men drink and
get acquainted, leaving the women to
get together as best they can at a
quilting, or some such neighborhood
meeting. This meeting of all at a
school house is good idea, and is
working the "school bouse social
CENTER scheme just right At a
church of any given domination,
some feel more at hon if they are
members Of the sam ect at their
old home, while those who are affili-

house all have an equal right, and
meet each other freely on common
ground. These people have the prop

incident of a Western Visit.

Everybody most knows the old
veteran James l.. Mosher of Union
township. He can tell stories OF
war times and never get tired, and
in cracking a joke he is well up
with DR.. Hume in versatility. Jim
has just lately returned with his
good wife from an all winter visit
with relatives and old friends In
Colorado, and other western parts.
He was asked about the weather.
Well it was cold, the thermometer
going down to twenty-five and thirty
at times, but the air being dry,
one does not feel it so badly as here.
As as illustration of the degrees
of GOODNESS, and how it affects man
he told of old Uncle George Gerard,
who when asked how cold it was
at his house, said that he got up
one morning and put some wood on
the fire, and before he could get
back again his feet were frozen
solid. and as he went back to bed to
get warm they clanked over the
for like slabs of ice.
Remember Hank Messersmi tn, ;"
said Jim. "Sure, everybody knows
Hank. F" "Well one morning when
Hank came down from his cabin,
and was asked How cold was it up at
your place last night? He said,
Well l got up and built a fire, and
soon heard something that sounded
like logs rolling off the roof, and
stepped outside to see what the
matter was. Blamed if the smoke
had not frozen and was breaking
off in chunks and rolling down."
When asked if the people out an
Colorado drank "Lion Coffee Mr..
Mosher said that they did, and he
drank a little himself.

Washington, d. c., Feb. %,
(SpeciaD-Reports received at the
Headquarters of the National Roose-
welt Committee in Washington. to-
day, show a steady advance In
Roosevelt. sentiment in practically
all of the states. California, Ohio,
Louisiana, Texas are lining up for
Colonel Roosevelt and the sentiment
in these states, expressed in various
ways, shows a decided tendency for
the Progressive cause.
Colonel Cecil Lyon, National CON-
mitteeman for Texas telegraphed
today stating his position. He
expressed himself as being heartily
in favor of Colonel Roosevelt for
President, and said he would do all
III his power to attain a delegation
for him. Over 90 per cent of the
Republicans in Texas, says Colonel
Lyon, are for Roosevelt. He states
that there is virtually no Taft senti-
ment except among office-holders
and that he expects every delegate
from the Lon Star state will be for
Roosevelt, under absolute instruc-
tions.
Pearl Wight, Republican National
Committeeman for Louisiana states
that if the State Central Committee
of Louisiana will authorize a prim-
ary Colonel Roosevelt may count up
on solid delegation from that state.
NJ. Lissner, Chairman of the
State Central Committee of Califor-
MIA. has telegraphed that out of 46
members of the Committee asked
for an express of preference for
Republican Candidate for Presi-
dent, "a have declared in favor of
Colonel Roosevelt. Six have express
ed preference for La Toilette, four
for Taft and two for Cummins. Mr..
Lissner states that in his opinion the
Roosevelt sentiment in the State
Central Committee prevails in the
ratio of ten to one. which he be-
lieves is the fair expires of Republic
an sentiment In the state. s'I feel
confident and predict that the Roose-
welt ticket of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention will be endorsed
by the Republicans of California at
least two to one," says Mr.. Liss-
ner.
From Ohio, the Presidents home
state, come adviees showing that
votes received from IS out of the
SO counties give Colonel Roosevelt
an overwhelming majority. Test
votes have been taken by several
Democratic and Independent news
papers and in practically every in
stance Mr.. Taft has been showed
under by the adherents of Colonel
Roosevelt.
Supporters of Colonel Roosevelt
are working hard to capture the
Tennessee delegation to the Chicago
Convention. The leaders in this
movement are optimistic and state
that they have a good chance of
downing the administration machine.
