PRAHA, Czechosloyakia, Sept. IA. Countess Catherine Breshkov- skaya, aged 90 years, Grandmoth- CT of the Russian Revolution, is dead here. Of noble birth, she gave up a life of luxury and spent half a century, 26 years of it in the desolate colonies of Siberia, in an incessant effort to free her people from ignorance and bondage.
 Born in 1844 of Polish parentage, she was a revolutiohist at 26, fin- ally coming to the United States in 1919 after the. Kerensky regime had been submerged and the Bol- shevist upheaval under Trotzky and Lenine became intolerable.
 In a paragraph she described the source of the inspiration which became the guiding factor of her life.
 My father helped me to think she said. He was a man of broad liberal ideas. We read together many books of science and travel Social science absorbed me. By 16 had read much of Voltaire, Rous- seau, and Diderot, and I knew by heart the French revolution. was not confined to Russian, for I spoke French from babyhood my German Governess soon taught me German, and at that time the worlds best thought was not gar bled by a Russian censorship. St trained, I could hardly be called an ignorant fanatic"
 Of Noble Family
 Her mother was of noble family her father a Polish aristocrat, anc she was gently reared and edu- cated. The sodden lives and ignor. ance of the peasants together witt their semi-slavery made a profound impression upon her. At the ags of 26 she joined a revolutionary group at Kiev and actively spread revolutionary propaganda, travel ling from town to town. She wor' peasant dress, used acids on he face and hands, worked and att with the peasants, forging pass ports to take her from place t, place. She characterized this phas. of her life as living Illegally" Sh, thus described typical scene:

 SENATOR DIES
 IN R. R. DEPOT
William Lorimer, Ousted d from Upper House,
 Drops Dead

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 14.-Former United States Senator William Lor inner dropped dead yesterday af- ternoon in the Chicago and North western railroad station.
 The rise and fall of William Lorimer in the political life of Illi- nois and the nation was packed with dramatic and bitter incidents.
 For score of years he was known as the Blond Boss" of the Republican party in Illinois. Dur ing that time he tutored in his school of political technique men who later filled his shoes as the storm center of political attacks.
 Ousted From Senate
 His busting from the United States Senate was perhaps the greatest disappointment of MT. Lorimer's career, while the most humiliating incident that befell him was when Theodore Roose- welt, then a former president, barred his famous teeth and refused to dine with Lorimer.
 The latter incident occurred at Freeport, H., in 1910, while Roose- welt was making a tour of the country. A delegation of the Ham ilton Club of Chicago, the largest Republican Club in the west, went to Freeport to welcome the former president and invite him to a ban quet that had been prepared in his honor.
 At the time Lorimer was the jun for United States Senator from Illinois and the most influential member of the Hamilton Club. He had weathered Senatorial inves- tigation of charges he had ob- tained his seat by fraud and brib- cry of legislators. After a fearful plea by Lorimer. the Senate voted 46 to 40 against busting him. Astounds Committee It was the evidence adduced dur ing the investigation, however, that caused Roosevelt to astound the committee from the Hamilton Club by refusing to eat at the same ta- ble with the Senator. The club withdrew it's invitation to Senator Lorimer, who resigned his mem bership the next day. For years afterward, Hamilton Club members were divided on the question whether Lorimer's or Roosevelt's invitation to the banquet should have been withdrawn.
 Political enemies of the Senator were not satisfied with the white washing he had received and new charges were followed by another investigation. At its conclusion the

SMALL GAIN IS
 MADE BY RIDDEN IN Z PRECINCTS
Senatorial Race Still Un- settled Olson Continues
 to Pile Up Lead

With 36 out of 53 precincts in the First Division reported today, Henry Roden, Independent, was still leading Senator Allen Shattuck, Democrat, up for reelection, by 36 votes, net gain of four from yesterday. Returns were received from two precincts today West Petersburg and Point Agassiz, each of which went for MT. Roden by two votes.
 Both also gave small pluralities for Oscar G. Olson, Democratic candidate for Treasurer. Additional returns from the Second and Third Divisions also added to his lead ever Walstein G. Smith, encum- bent. Thirty-six precincts in the First, 12 in the Second, "A in the Third and IS in the Fourth gave Olson 3,l87 and Smith 2,691 votes House Status uncnanged

Cham berlin, Democrat in fifth place nar- rowed the gap between himself and J. c.
