The officer was indicted for extortionate charges The other indictments, the court said were rath- or as to excessive or overcharges, and he held that they were sufficient, and that the defendants would have to go to trial under them.

Long Political Career.

Shelby Moore Cullom's death ended | fifty years of continuous public serv-
 ice that had made him a figure in American national life and brought him into official relations with every president from Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson. President Taft once said of him:
 "Why, here's my old friend Uncle Shelby; he comes nearer connecting the present with the days of Wash ington than any one eise whom know"
 As ploughboy driving his fathers
 oxen over the fresh prairie of Illinois he had known and talked with sur vivors of the Revolution and on the rugged foundations of life begun in pioneer hardships of family of twelve children had built career that took him to the Illinois Legisla. ture as a member; speaker of the AS. sembly, two terms in the governors chair service in the National House of Representatives, and thirty con secutIve years in the United States senate.
 His nearest living contemporary probably is Uncle Joe" Cannon whose senior he was some seven years by birth and some three years in nation
 al service.
 Andrew Jackson was president of
 the United States when Mir. Cullom
 was born in 1929 down in the Elk Spring Valley of Kentucky, near the Cumberland where the Culloms of Maryland and the Coffeys of North Carolina, drifting westward with the tides of immigration that set in at
 the close of the Revolution, founded
 their early home.
 During the year 1929" MT. Cullom recently wrote to illustrate the epoch in which he began life, The crown of Great Britain descended from King George the Fourth to King William
 the Fourth; that reign passed away
 and l have lived to see the long reign of Victoria come and go; the reign of King Edward come and go and the accession Of King George the Fifth. Charles the Fifth ruled in France,
 Francis the First in Austria, Freder- ick William the Third in Prussia, Nicholas the First in Russia, while
 Leo the Twelfth governed the papal states, the Kingdom of Italy not yet | having come into existence. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland had not yet a population of 24,000000 all told. No man who had not served his country in some capa-
 city in the Revolutionary war had been elevated to the presidency of the | United States and this was the case
 until 1843."
 Times and events in his own coun- try were no less stirring and his part in them was marked one. Kentucky
 was slave state at his birth, the controversy which was to hatch into great civil war was in the process
 moved to Illinois to be in free state
 and Chicago then was a small village. The elder Cullom was then a friend of Lincoln's, recommending the pective clients. Young Cuiloms first
 recollection of the future war presi-
 dent was under such circumstances.
 Scraping together the rudiments of an education gained by toiling over
 rough prin5aval roads he became sue cessiyely f student at Mount Morris

1T was perilous to approach the
land" he said, "as columns Of water
burst up continually from the gulf,
while on the land pillars of fire rose
into the air from the blaze of sugar
cane. At the same time people and
cattle came pell-mell toward the beach
in a wild effort to escape. The steam
ere, in the gulf lowered row boats to
pick up the hudnreds of persons who
were drifting helplessly on RATS or
swimming while holding planks and
rieces of timber. All were uttering
piteous cries.
Hundreds stood along the shore,
unable to find any means Of escape.
Some of them waved towels and cloth

to attract attention. Many of the PEG.

from burns or injuries.
