The damage to property at Alton

ST. Louis Park Is Flooded.
The flood conditions at Forest park
in st. Louis, according to the estimate
of the park-keepers, are the worst in

failing loss estimated at several thou
sand dollars.

PIans 10 Continue RattIe.

Plans to Continue Battle.
During his final speech Mr.. Lori
mer reiterated his intention to keep
up the fight. Just how he will do
this was not made clear, but it is
inferred that he will continue to or
ganize his friends throughout Illinois
and endeavor to regain his political
power. He has declared repeatedly
during hts speech that as long as his
strength holds out he will devote him.
self to spreading what he terms the
truth regarding his case throughout
the nation.
It is not at all improbable that at
some future time Mr.. Lorimer will
make a campaign before the voters
Of Illinois for reelection to the SEN
ate. There is no possibility of his
election by the legislature as it will
be composed next winter.
Asserts No One Was Bribed.
Senator Lorimer's closing remarks
regarding his reasons for not resign
Ing were the most forceful and dra-
matte part of his entire speech.
''Much has been said about Lori
mer resigning,'' said Senator Lorimer.
THE question comes every day: will
Lorimer resign?'
81 stated en- the floor that if
found when the testimony was taken
that one man had been bribed to vote
for me would have walked into this
senate and laid my resignation at the
bands of this body.

pie who have followed me, and as

s'My exit will not be because I am
a coward; it will be because of the
crime of the senate of these United
States. I'm ready"
Dixon Makes Denial.
After Mr.. Lorimer sat down Sena-
tor Dixon of Montana, Roosevelt's
campaign manager, arose to deny the
charges contained in afidavits pre-
scented by Mr.. Lorimer relative to
alleged promises of money to Taft
delegates if they would swing to
Roosevelt.
Before the roll call was started
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
asked permission to explain his vote.
He sent a statement to the reading
clerk which was read. Senator Till
man voted for Lorimer last year and
did so again in the final ballot. He
is running for reelection in his state
and has serious opposition, but de-
clared he would go down to defeat
before he would vote against Lorimer
lions of his statement were read.
CuIom May Get Vacancy.
Governor Deneen has the power to
appoint Lorimer's successor, but in
view of the fact that he is in the
middle of a campaign it is possible
he may allow the place to remain
vacant until January, when the leg
| islature convenes. The legislature at
that time will elect two United States
senators, one to fill the vacancy and
the other to succeed Senator Cullom.
Discussion Of the possibility of Sen
ator Cullom's election to serve out
Senator Lorimer's unexpired term
has been revived as result of the
senior senator's vote against Lorimer
Senator Cullom's term will expire on
March 4 next year. Lawrence Y.
Sherman is slated to succeed him.
! If at that time Senator Cullom should
be named for the I4Orimer vacancy he
would serve until March 4, 1915
Mr.. Lorimer is the first senator ever
ousted because Of corruption in q
senatorial election. w. A. Clark Of
Montana resigned from. the senate to
escape expulsion and afterward was
reelected. The elections of other
[ senators have been investigated, but
charges against them have not been
sustained.

While the vote was being taken Mr..
Lorimep sat in his seat in the back
row on the Republican side of the
ehamber His face was flushed and
FOR the first time since he began the
long fight he seemed to grow ner-
vous. He appeared detected and de-
pressed. No one spoke to him while
the roll call was in progress.
Lorimer Leaves Chamber.
When the announcement of the
vote was made Mr.. Lorimer, no longer
a senator, arose slowly. He braced
his shoulders, threw his head in the
air, allowed a strange smile to come
over his face and walked heavily to-
ward the door As ne reached the
door Senators Smoot, Crane and
Bailey and Representative Rodenburg
Of Illinois shook him by the hand
When Mr. Lorimer reached the

a crowd waiting to express sympathy.

been won to his side. Several women
were in the group, among them fair
sisters of charity in the garb of their

convention may take two days, or possibly may be concluded in a shorter time, thinks Chief Stanton. Last year in Milwaukee there were more than 800 men registered at the convention, but 1t is hardly expected so many will at tend the gathering in Denver If Bos- ton had had few more votes last year it would have won the 1912 convention, but Denver just beat her out by to votes As the composition of the off cial board stands now, Chief Stanton Is the only eastern representative on the board. a fact that speaks we'll for the standing that the Norwich repre- sentative has among his fellow chiefs in the service.
 Nothing But Motor Driven Apparatus
 Forecasting the exhibit that will be seen at the convention, Chief Stanton believes that it will be one of the greatest exhibitions of motor driven apparatus ever arranged. This will be the first time that a vote of the con- vention has made one man chairman of the exhibition committee, Chiei Fred H. Wilson of Jamestown, N. Y. being given this appointment by vote of the Milwaukee convention. Eight to ten years ago, says Chief Stanton a piece of motor driven apparatus was a curiosity: now nothing is shown but the motor driven.
 Thursday Chief Stanton learned tha- while the chiefs are in St. Louis they will be invited to visit the plants oi two St Louis concerns which make motor driven pumping engines, and or his return trip he is liable to stop al Cincinnati to visit the Aaron Fox Fire Engine company, which makes botf steam fire engines and the motol driven type.
 According to his present expecta- tions, Chief Stanton will not be bacl here until Tuesday, April 18th.
