Statement of Melich.

Joe Melich, Bingham merchant. yes-
terday gave out the following statement:
Owing to a persistent rumor which
has been. and is being, circulated
around Bingham Canyon that / re-
ceived the sum Of $4,000 from the
Utah Consolidated Mining company
or other companies TO attempt To
break the present strike, I hereby
wish to repudiate the samo and brand
such ruInors as both falso and mali
cious. I have conducted a business
In Bingham Canyon during the past
eight years and have therefore nee
essarily been compelled TO grant a
great amount Of credit. When the
present strike was declared my firm
Joined with the other establishments
In going on strictly cash basis;
consequently many patrons were dis
satisfied and became my enemies,
with the result that numerous black
mailing rumors have been circulated
against me. I hold absolute proofs
that their statements are untrue, and
IL any individual or committee Wishes
TO Investigate the same Will gladly
produce the evidence that will exon
crate me from all suspicion and provo
that my accusers have taken unfair
means In attacking me-

LORIMER UPHEL[
Investigation Committee De-
cideS That Action Is Barred
By the Vote of the Senate Last
Session.

Washington, March 2S-The right of
Senator Lorimer of Illinois to his seat
in the United States senate was upheld
today by the special investigating COM
mittee which decided that the senate's
vote sustaining Mr.. Lorimer in the last
congress on substantially the same
charges barrese any further proceedings
against him The vote stood five to
three.
The committee not only adopted the
res judicata" resolution prepared by
Senator Jones of Washington, but 9TH
er resolutions favoring the Lorimer
contentious.
The Jones resolution declared the
pending case alraedy had been cover
ed by the previous trial of Lorimer
in the senate and to again place the
Illinois senator on trial would not be
in accord with the principle of res
judicata''
Another restitution adopted exoner-
ated Edward Hines of Chicago, presi-
dent of a large lumber company of
any wrong doing.
BY a vote of five to nothing the
committee adopted a resolution declar-
ing if there was any corrupt dealing in
connection with Lorimer's election Lor-
inner had no knowledge of it. There was
conclusive evidence of Jackpot in
the Illinois legislature it was found.
On the resolution declaring that Lori
mer had no knowledge of any currurt
dealings, Senators Kenyon, Kern ano
Lea who opposed Lorimer refrained
from voting.
The committee vote on the Jones reso-
lutions: For LOrimer-Dillfngham Gam
BILE, Jones, Johnston and Fletcher.
Against Lorimer-Kern, Kenyon and
Lea.
1t is practically certain that a minority
report also will be made from the com
mittee and notable debate is expected
when the case reaches the floor of the
senate

In Speech to an Immense
Crowd at Chicago.
DISCUSSES BIG BUSINESS
Says He Is Opposed to Present
Policy of Chaos.
Advocates an Interstate Indus
trial Commission as Remedy.

Chicago, March 2S.-Colonel Roose-
velt's most stinging campaign speech
thus far was delivered here last night.
He lashed his opponents with sharp,
biting sentences and charged some OF
them with using fraud and trickery
to defeat him.
Colonel Roosevelt said it was fight
ing speech. 1t was delivered before
a throng which packed the Auditor
ium and cheered him enthusia stically.
The primaries in New York furnished
the text for his speech and he cited
a number of instances where he sad
his opponents had resorted to impro-
per practices to defeat him.

CAUSE OF DELAY.

The breaking of three gears, or
wheels, on the State Journals big
Goss press Wednesday evening caused
a portion of the editions to be several
hours late. The accident happened
just before the issue of the city edi-
ton was completed, thereby necessitat-
ing quite a delay to about two thous-
and Topeka subscribers, as well as
the missing of early night trains for
several thousand subscribers out over
the state.
The State Journal and Capital presses
being of the same pattern, the plates,
through the courtesy of the Capital Of
flee, were transferred to the Capitals
press and the remainder of the days
issue printed thereon. Temporary re-
pairs were made last night and with
new parts ordered from the builders
of these big presses at Chicago, the Goss
Printing Press company, no further
delay is anticipated by the State Jour
nal.
Three years ago an accident in the
Capitals press room enabled us to
print our neighbor's paper for four
nights. Last night the Capital kindly
reciprocated.
There were so many telephone calls
last night into the State Journal office
from disappointed subscribers that 1t
was a mechanical impossibility to reply
and explain to all the calls.

AN EARLY MAYOR DEAD
w. A. Coy Formerly Was Farmer Near
Valley Falls.

Kansas City, Kan, March 2S.-Wi1-
liam A. Coy, the first mayor of Kansas
City, Kan, after the consolidation of
the towns of Wyandotte, Armourdale
and old Kansas City, Kan, is dead at
his home here His death resulted from
heart disease. He retired, feeling as
well as usual. but shortly after mid
night called his wife and complained
of feeling i'll. Doctors were summoned,
but their efforts We're futile
Mr.. Coy was born on a farm in Por-
tage county, Ohio, November 80, 1885.
In 1856 Mr.. Coy moved to Kansas and
bought a farm near Valley Falls in JEFF
ferson county. He conducted store at
Oskaloosa more. than 80 years.
Mr.. Coy came to the old town of Ar
mourdale and opened store in 1886.
Two years later the towns of Wyan-
dotte, Armourdale and Old Kansas City,
Kan, were consolidated. Mr.. Coy serv-
ed only one term as mayor and then
returned to his business. The store he
founded still runs as the Coy & Hutch
ms Furniture company.
Coy was a Republican. His admin
istration was valuable in getting metro
potitan ideas substituted for the village
theories which threatened to wreck the
new Kansas City, Kan, before it was
well started. Mr.. Coy became a mem
ber of the Masonic fraternity in 1854
He is survived by his widow-former-
1y Miss Julia Cole, whom he married in
Illinois in 1S61-and one daughter, Mrs.
G. H. Sims

GEN. AUBERT ESCAPES
Orozo's Army Fails TO Capture the
Federal Force.

Jiminez, March 2S.-The rebel
movement designed to surround Cen
eral Trucy Aubert was not executed
with sufficient speed and this morn
ing il was discovered that the elusive
federal and his 1,200 men during the
night had put / 8 miles between him
self and the insurrectos. He was re-
ported in the neighborhood of Atopo-
mil, west OF here, and still travelling
in that direction.
While the fighting of the last week
grew savage at times, the losses on
neither side were considerably above
800 killed and wounded on both sides.
General Orozco realizes that there is
no reason why the federals should not
reconcentrate at Torreon and present
a new front with force which has
had the benefit of the discipline of the
recent fighting and but little impaired
numerically.
The rebels do not intend to push
the campaign against Torreon for at
least a week or ten days. Orozco claims
to have 5000 men in the state of Chi
huahua and 1000 of these are in the
Jiminez district.
