KELLEY AND LAWRENCE NAMED
IN VOTING MACHINE PROBE

IN VOTING MACHINE PROBE
The names of Andrew M. Law
renee, publisher of Hearst's Chicago
Examiner and James Kelley, publish
er of the Chicago Tribune, were drag
ged into the record of the investi-
CATION of the $1,O00,0O0 voting ma
chine deal yesterday afternoon. Kee-
ley is in Europe and Lawrence in
California.
LaWrence's name was brought in
through a statement of Lloyd L.
Duke, a lawyer of OttumWa, Ia, and
Kelley through an affidavit submit
ted by Edward E. Marriott, an Exam
liner reporter.
Lawrence's lawyer had protested
against the Duke statement being
admitted. Keeley's lawyer recon-
mended that both the Duke state
ment and the Marriott affidavit be
put in the record.
Dukes statement says that H w.
Barr, agent for the Empire Voting
Machine Co., told Gray of Ottumwa
that he had to give up 100000 in
Chicago to get the deal through and
that Lawrence was to get 100000.
Marriott, in his affidavit, says that
he was told at Ottumwa that Barr
told Gray that the mistake he made
in Chicago was in not giving Jim
Kelley of the Tribune the $4,000
which Kelley demanded.
Both the statement and the aft
davit are what one lawyer called
hearsay on hearsay. That is, some
body told somebody else that some
body else told somebody so and so.
At today's session CzaTnecli, Re
publican and minority member of the
election commissioners, testified that
the voting machines could be doc
tored by judges and clerks or by the
observation-disclosures in charge of
them. He said he had no lawyer to
represent him and didn't want any.
He said that two firms that S11h

victed of the murder of Masterson,

cision they are admitted to bail pend
ing an appeal from their conviction
for the murder Of Masterson.

WATERMELON THROWS A TIRE

The prohibition state executive com
mittee met at the state headquarters
in this city last Friday and Saturday
to audit the books of the secretary,
Quincy Lee Morrow, of Brookings.
Some of these third party gentle
men displayed a indicative spirit
hardly to be expected from those en-

rumors flew thick and fest, keeping
our little city on the qui vive-get on
to that-in anticipation of a scandal.
However, as is usually the case with

the band wagon, or perhaps 1t was a

mously the following report of G. H.
Brown, the treasurer:
"Mr. Morrow submitted ID ME an
itimized statement of the monies that
came into his hands outside the Office
by collections at public meetings and
personal solicitation. The statement

mittee owes Mr.. Morrow $1,50S.23."
Mr.. Morrow then rendered his resig-

was appointed temporary secretary.
Mr.. Morrow informs us that he will
