LOR|MER PROBE IS
BROUGHT To END
Final Decision Believed to Be
Far Distant.
HINES DENIES GIRLS STORY
Lumberman Disciaims Offering OF
Bride to grapher-Stenogra-
pher Sheridan Writes Under
Conditions as at Toronto.

Washington. Hearing Of testi-
mony in the senatorial investiga-
ton OF Senator Lorimer's election is
concluded. Attorney Hanecy was
given permission to file a brief and
also present plea Of res adjudica.
Final action by the senate is not ex-
pected before June, although the prep
aration of it's report will be begun at
once by the committee.
The nature of the plea is that Sen
ator Lorimer's seat was placed in
Jeopardy once before on the same
charge and that the senate decided
he was entitled to his toga- The de-
tense VIII plead also that no addl-
tional evidence of material importance
was brought out at the second inVes-
ugation, and that the present COM
mittee has no Jurisdiction.
If the plea is upheld by the senate
there will be no second vote on Lori
mer's right to his seat,
The investigation just ended began
on June 20, 1911. The committee has
been in session 102 days and has ex-
amined $50 witnesses. 1t is estimated
that the cost of the inquiry SO far as
the government is concerned is S1O1,-
600.
Three things engaged the attention
Of the committee on the last day OF
its fnquiry-tests of the ability OF
j. E. Sheridan, a stenographer en-
ployed by the Burns Detective agency,
to take down a conversation heard
through a dictagraph; an apology
from Milton w. Blumenberg, who lost
his position when he denounced Sner-
fdan's notes as manufactured" and
Edward Hines denial of the story told
by Miss Sewers that he had tried to
bribe her.
The dictagraph tests Of Sheridan's
ability were made under conditions
approXimating those encountered In
Toronto when he made notes Of con-
versation between Charles MCGOWAN,
Hines-Lorimer witness, and two de-
tectives.
At the conclusion of the tests the
opinion was just as much divided as
before regarding Sheridan's ability to
take down a conversation heard
through dictagraph.

MANY DEATHS PREVENTAHLE
State Board of Health, in Vital Sta
tistics Report, Declares Lives
Needlessly Sacrificed.

Misunderstanding each life, ac-
cording to the American table, at
$1,700, the annual economic loss to
Wisconsin from easily preventable
infectious and contagious diseases
and violence, which are classified as
preventable causes, amounts to $16,-
O59, 800. This conclusion is reached
in the mortality report for 1911 is
sued by the state bureau of vital sta
tistics. Deaths from the above named
preventable causes, according to the
report numbered 9447 in 1911, or
34.3 per cent of the total
The report shows that the annual
death rate is Ill per 1900 During
the calendar year, 27,226 deaths, ex-
elusive of stillbirths, were recorded
with the bureau The death rate
noted is based on an estimated popu-
lation for 1911 of 2,358,293.
Pneumonia again leads in the list
Of causes of death, there being ZIG
more deaths from pneumonia than
from all other forms of tuberculosis.
The death rate for tuberculosis per
100000 population for 1908 was
103.10; for 1909, 1929; for 1910,
1925, and for 1911, 1922. This
does not show any material decrease
in the number of deaths from tuber-
culosis, but it is proof that the dis
ease is not increasing in prevalence.
Important causes of death with the
number of deaths from each disease
during 1911 were as follows: Pull
monary tuberculosis, zoos; other tu-
berculosis, 407; typhoid fever, 299;
diphtheria, 292; scarlet fever, 1877;
measles, 1874; whooping cough, 165;
pneumonia, 1928; diarrhoea, $50;
meningitis, 400; Influenza, 1853; pu-
erperal septicemia, 100; cancer,
1914; violence, 1862; still births,
1892.
Among the deaths from violence,
the following causes with the num-
Der from each cause are shown: Sui
eide, 2S9; railroad accidents, ESQ;
accidental drowning, $40; gunshot
wounds, 95; accidental burns and
scalds, 90; homicides, 35; street car
accidents, Ri; automobile accidents,
%; lightning, IT; sunstrokes, rs;
cyclones AMI tornadoes, 6.
Twenty-eight deaths were record
ed from infantile paralysis, two from
smallpox, one from hydrophobia, one
from trichinosis, four from pellagra,
and two from lead poisoning.
Five thousand two hundred and
sixty, or 1913 per cent of the total
deaths reported were among persons
under 1 year of age.

MOTORING and the Ear.

A series of symptoms which may
have been observed by motorists have
now been recognized by DR.. Roget Of
Montiucon, who describes them as
causing vague pains, limited to the
internal ear. without any tendency to
spread to the throat, forehead or
Eecks Another symptom not always
present Is curious cracking in the
ear, which occurs when the sufferer
is swallowing or drinking DR.. Roget
has come to the conclusion that it is
q question of neuralgia pain. The con-
tlnual rush of air in motoring, passing
into the external auditory canal. beats
on the membrane of the tympanum.
This brings on pain, especially in the
right ear, which is naturally on the
brake side of the car. The pain be-
comes more acute if the journey is
prolonged after the first ache is felt.
For the remedy the doctor advises,
nrst OF all, rest. In a few days ex-
cept1ng IL serious cases, the trouble
viii vanish. When the pains are acute
a drop of oil containing cocaine will
give immediate relief AS measures Of
prevention, he advises the use of caps
with ear fiaps.-Dundee Advertiser.

CHECK ON DREAD DISEASE
Iowa Professor Has Plan He Be-
lieves viii Control tuberculosis
In Animals.

DIR. Burton r. Rogers, Ames, Ia,
who was for a number of years an
inspector of meats for the United
States government. is trying to induce
the federal authorities to adopt
method for discovering tuberculosis in
cattle, which, he says, will result In
locating all the diseased animais in
the country within year His plan
Is 10 nave every man who sends hogs
to market to have his name and adj
dress on tag fastened to the hogs
ear. Doctor Rogers said:
Very few hogs live longer than
year. A 200-pound hog is about the
weight at which they are shipped to
market. All of them are examined by
government inspectors, but under the
present system of inspection no one
knows where a diseased hog comes
from
Tuberculosis in hogs is not dan
gerous to those using the meat be-
cause 1t is subjected to heat before be-
ing eaten, and a very little heat is
sufficient TO kill the germs. But while
the life of the hog is short, the life
OF the COW is comparatively long.
Ihere is no way Of learning if cow
is infected with the disease except by
technical examination.
1T is the custom to have the cattle
and the hogs live together as close
nelghbors, and SO when a cow becomes
diseased the hogs remain healthy but
short time. Now, the life of a cow
Is about ten years, and she may have
tuberculosis nearly all her life and no
body know anything of 1t. But hog
that has lived near her for a few
months will surely get the disease,
and by the scheme l suggest this hog
could be made to carry the tale of
the sick cattle to the inspectors

"DOLLAR-A-DAY" PENSION
BILL Is REJECTED
Senate Committee Votes Down Sher.
wood Measure-Smoot Substi-
tute Adopted.

Washington. = The Sherwood So
called "dollar-a-day' pension bill was
rejected by the senate committee
on pensions, and another meas
ure, with an annual expenditure of
$24 100000, proposed as a substitute
by Senator Smoot of Utah, was
adopted.
Senators Brown of Nebraska and
Curtis of Kansas gave notice that they
would move in the senate to substitute
the original Sherwood bill for the
Smoot measure and demand its pas
sage.
Senator Shoots estimate of S24000,-
0C0 as the cost of his plan is based
upon the pension bureaus computa-
ton of age and length of service of
the veterans. The Sherwood bill, ac-
cording to the pension bureau, would
have cost about s75. 100000 year.
The Smoot bill was adopted by a
vote of II to 2. after the Sherwood
bill had been voted down 10 to 4.
The Smoot bill provides scale of
pensions varying with age and serv-
ice, which in the case of a soldier
who served 90 days amounts to $13 a
month between ages of sixty-two and
sixty-six; SIS between sixty-six and
seventy; $18 between seventy and
seyenty-fve, and s21 from seventy-five
on. The scale rises gradually with
every six months service until it al
lows $50 per month to veteran Of
seventy-1ve years who was in the
service three years or more. For a
soldier ~ served three years or
more the scale is: From sixty-two to
slxty-six years, SIG; from siXty-six to
seventy, SIS; from seventy to seventy
five, s24, and from seventy-fve on, $50.
The action of the committee brought
protest on the floor of the senate
from Senator Kenyon of Iowa

Pekin.-After occupying the throne
OF CHINA for nearly three centuries
the Manchu dynasty, represented by
Pu VI child emperor, has abdicated.
In Keeping with the custom attend
ing great events in China, numerous
edlcts We're issued One proclaimed
the aDdicatfon of the emperor, anoth-
er dealt with the establishment of a
Cnlnese republic and the third urged
upon the people the maintenance of
peace and order and approving the
conditions agreed upon by the imperi-
al premier.
The acting premier, Yuan Shi Kai
was touchlngly thanked for his sue
cessful efforts in obtaining good treat
ment for the imperial family from the
republicans, by the empress dowager
at the last audience. The publication
OF the edicts was received with a sigh
OF relief by native and foreigner alike,
all apparently realizing that the long
strain is over. The arrangements at
tending the establishment of the new
order of things is considered to be a
sk1llful compromise, and it is believed
that the terms will satisfy the repub-
leans
The first edict of the day provided
that the terms of the abdication shall
be communicated at once to the for
e1gn legations for transmission to
their respective governments, the OBJ
lect being to give worldwide publicity
to the pledges made by the repub-
leans
In consideration for the abdication
of the throne the republicans make
the following pledges to the emperor:
First, the emperor shall retain his
title and shall be respected as a for
eign monarch.
Second, the emperor shall receive
an annual grant of 100000 taels I'M
til the currency is reformed, after
which he shall receive 100000 Mex
lean.
1t is also provided that all members
titles shall retain their ranks; the no.
bility shall have the rights Of ordi-
nary citizens and will be exempt from
military service. It is further pledged
that the Mongols, Manchus and Mo-
hammedans and Thibetans shall have
the same rights and privileges as the
Chinese.
No provision has yet been made for
DR.. Sun Vat Sen. For the present the
legations will deal unofh cially with
Yuan Shi Kai's government until it is
recognized. This recognition is ex-
pected as soon as the cabinet is
formed.

BATTLESHIP MAINE is AFLOAT.
Wreck Rises When Water Is Turned
Into Cofferdam.

Havana. = The wreck of the bat
tleship Maine, whose sinking here
on February Is, 1898, led to the war
with Spain, is atloat again. The old
hulk, made water tight and surround
ed by cofferdam, is resting within
the dams retaining walls just clear
of the muddy harbor bottom, and about
fourteen feet below low tide level
1t is the intention to admit the wa
ter more rapidly, SO that the wreck
will be raised to the harbor level, leav-
ing nothing more to be done except to
break the dam and float out the ship.
AS the water slowly rose until il
covered the whole floor of the Golfer
dam, mooring lines were run out fore
and aft on both sides to hold the ship
fast and prevent the possibility of it's
being blown against the sides of the
dam.
many hundreds of visitors thronged
the dam, watching the relocating of
the Maine. None of them was admit
ted aboard the ship, however, for fear
of accident.
Major Ferguson, who has had
charge of the work, has received
many congratulations on his success
The ship will remain secure within
the dam until orders are received
from Washington to float 1t out, which
can be done within a fortnight.

The Part of Wisdom

Everybody in Middle Bay knew that
Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking
about making a visit to her married
daughter in Cincinnati. She had been
talking about 1t for two years, but
age and the natural timidity of a
woman unused to travel had postponed
the great event from month to month.
until the neighbors began to wonder
whether it would ever come to pass
So one morning, when Uncle Billy
Evans met Captain Liscomb in Eccles'
store, there was a twinkle in his eve
as he asked:
"When's Mis- Liscomb going out to
Ohio, Daniel?"
