PASS ON LOBIME III SENATE REPORT Illinois Senator's Seat Not Shown to Be Invalid by Corrupt Election SENATOR FRAZIER DISA6REES Makes His Statement Declaring That Bribes Were Given in Legisla ture Conclusions of the Committee Details. Washington, Dec. 21. Declaring, as tMr conclusions that "the title of Mr. Lorimer to a seat in the Senate has not been shown to be invalid by the 'use or employment of corrupt methods or practices" the committee which investigated charges of bribe ry, made in connection with the elec tion of William Lorimer, as a Sen ator from Illinois, presented its re port to the Senate today. The report which was presented by Senator Burrows, chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions, was laid upon the table, but in asmuch as the report is privileged it may be called up at any time. Charges that four members of the Illinois Legislature were bribed and that three other members were paid bribes were -not ignored by the com mittee. The report declares that those who confessed to receiving bribes should not be believed and that the "votes of those who were charged with paying bribes should be counted. In relation to the charges that there was a corruption fund used in the Illinois Legislature and that it was disburs ed by one Robert E. Wilson, the re port says that there is no evidence that it was used for the benefit of Mr. Lorimer. The committee suggests that any investigation by the United States of such a fund should be made by authorities of th State of Illinois. The report declares further "that there was no testimony offered during the investigation which would tend in the i?motest degree to implicate Sen ator lorimer fh any personal act ojf bribery or attempted bribery or cor rupt practices of any sort." The statement of views sent to the committee by Senator Frailer, who was a member of the sub-committee which considered the case was not tiled with the report. It was stated that Mr. Frazier had asked that it be withheld and that he should be per mitted to file a minority report if he should desire to do so later. Frazier's Statement. Chicago, Dec. 21. Senator Frazier, who was here today, made public his statement in which he dissents from the view of his colleagues that Sena tor Lorimer was not benefitted by the alleged corruption erf certain mem bers of the Legislature. His state ment in parts is as follows: "The Legislature of .Hiinois consit ed of 204 members. There were pres ent and voting on ther occasion of the election of Senator Lorimer 202 mem bers. A quorum of both Houses be ing present, in my opinion, he must have received a majority of all those present, and voting, or 102 votes, to have been elected. Senator Lorimer received 108 votes, or six more than r"cessary to elect. "The testimony taken by the com mittee satisfies me that four mem bers of the Legislature were paid mon ey for voting for, or in consequence of having voted for Senator Lorimer. One Senator and three Representa tives admitted under oath before the committee that they were'paid money and the admissions and the facts and circumstances surrounding the tran sactions satisfy me that they received it a a bribe for, or in consequence of their votes for Senator Lorimer. "The four Pelf-confessed bribe tak ers implicate three other members , of the Legislature, who voted for Sena tor Lorimer as the persons who brib ed them. The testimony satisfies me that the three alleged brjbe divers were guilty of that offense. To my mind the men who bribes another is DflaSJ II v ; 1 as corrupt as the one , who is bribed and by his corrupt act of bribery he demonstrates the fact thahhe is none too honest to receive a hribe if offer ed him. "While the proof is not clear or conclusive that these thiee alleged bribe givers were themselves bribed or corruptly influenced to vote for Senator Ixnimer, when I take into consideration their corrupt conduct as bribers of others together with all the facts and circumstances surround ing this case. I cannot bring myself to agree with the majority of the sub comtgiti3e that their votes are free from taint or corruption. These three votes added to the four confessedly bribed would make seven tainted votes. Kliminare them and the vote received by Senator Lorimer was less than a majority of the votes cast. As stated above, it is with hesitan cy and great reluctance that I differ 'ith my colleagues upon the sub-committee, but I have felt impelled to do so after a most careful, and I trust, unbiased study of this record. In view of the fact that I appear to stand alone in the views herein ex 1'iessed, I make no recommendation o the committee, but I do ask that be members of the committee, not embers of the sub-committee, care- 522, rPad 3,1 the testimony before forming an opinion."

BOUNDARY DISPUTE IN SENATE Adopted Resolution Nullifying Action 4 of Constitutional Convention of New Mexico Accepts the Survey of 1858. Washington, Dec. 21. Complying with the recommendation of President Taft as conveyed in a special mes sage, the Senate today adopted a Joint resolution nullifying the action of the Constitutional Convention of New Mexico in fixing the 103rd meri dian ol longitude as the eastern boun dary of that prospective State and giving the President power, in con junction with the State of Texas, to re-establish the lines run by J. H. Clark in 1858 as the true boundary; between New Mexico and Texas. The dispute 1b of long duration and grows out of an error, made by Clark in his effort as a surveyor for the gov ernment to make the 103rd meridian. It was intended that this meridian should constitute the dividing line, out Clark placed it west of where it should be, as was developed by sub sequent surveys. National authorities as well as those of Texas accepted it as accu rate, but New Mexico contended for the more eastern tracing and the con vention has undertaken to carry that contention into effect. In his mes sage the President pointed out that property interests had accumulated under the recognition of the Clark survey and urged that the established order should not be disturbed. Senator Heyburn opposed the reso lution, contending that the Clark sur vey had been made for the purpose of locating the meridian and not for that of marking a division between States. He asserted that not less than 600,000 acres of land of a value of $20 an acre were involved and de claring that Texas had received liber al remuneration for the area, he con tended that it should not be restored without adequate compensation. For a time he threatened to filibuster against action, but afterward desisted saying that he had learned to get out of the way when he heard the whistle of the steam roller. The resolution still ha to be acted upon by the House. FRAUDS OF ART DEALERS. Nine Complaints Filed Against Du veen Brothers. New York, Dec. 21.T-The Federal government filed nine complaints here today against Duveen Brothers, the International Art Dealers in a se ries of civil forfeiture suits aggregat ing approximately . $600,000. The suits are, a ueijuei w October of several members of the firm on charges of gross undervalua tion of imports. The goods involved are all under seizure and to recover possession, pending decision of the United States District Court, the de fendants must file a bond for the full home value, which includes the for eign value plus the tustoms duties. The government also has the right to sue for the forfeiture of all goods sold by the Duveens and now in possession of their customers, including promi nent millionaires, in cases where it is shown that there was any defection in the payment of duty. No such action has yet been brought, but it may be The Duveen Brothers list of custo mers includes several of the wealthi est and best known connoiseurs of the country, and the prosecution said tonight that it will take advantage of every legal aid to recover from those who have benefitted either directly or indirectly by the alleged frauds, whioh the government estimated at $5 000,000 in full.

Dec. 21 In his "ob servations and recommendations,' in connection with his biennial report to the Governor and General Assembly Attorney General T- W. Bickett ex presses gratification at a decrease of 2,644 in the number of criminal cases in the State for the two years; the grand total for the biennial period be ing 9,505. He recommends that the State and the defendant be allowed the same number of peremptory challenges in making up Juries for the trial of crim inal cases and that. the trial judge be allowed to order a jury from an ad joining county when circumstances make this needful. He recommends that at the request of either party to a suit the sheriff be required to go beyond the court house and the neigh borhood of the building to summons tales jurors, the elimination of pro fessional jurors being greatly to be desired. He says much money is wasted in different bills of indictment for each of a series of violations of the same law and urges that, below the crime of felony, the solicitor be required to include any number of vio lations in a single indictment. He urges that a simple assault on a wo man be made a misdemeanor, punish able by fine and imprisonment The Attorney General recommends a number of radical changes in the Judiciary system of the State. He wants the salaries of the Supreme Court justices increased to $5,000 and the expense allowance of the Superior Court judges increased to $1,000. He wants the State divided into an east ern and a western court circuit, each to have ten districts, one of which would be a small one so that its judge would be in reserve for special court service. He says it Is a costly, cruel defect in our judicial system that there cannot be a marriage, a death or a birth in the family of a judge without the disorganization of public business. He thinks the number of Supreme Court justices should be either increased to six or there should be an inlermediate court of appeals established to sit in Eastern and Western circuits to finally dispose of all -but the most important cases. To do this would necessitate a constitu tional amendment, but he hopes that it is not blasphemy to say that in some respects the State has outgrown the constitution. He says present frequent election conditions are little short of farcical. There should not be State elections oftener than once in four years, al though Congressmen have to be elect ed every two years. The State should (Continueu on Pajre Eight OUTLINES. Judge Robert .

FEDERAL CONTROL VIEW OF LOVETT Harriman's Successor Would Agree, to Supervision of Railroad Rates THE STATUS OF RAILROADS Does Not Oppose Government Rela tions of Stock Issues Questions Wisdom of Neoess'ty for Such Laws Details. f New York. Dec. "21. Robert S. Lov ett, successor to Edward H. Harriman as president or the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific' railroads, told th Railroad Securities Jommissiom today that ne was heartily in favor of Fed eral supervision of rates, both intra state and inter-state, but that person ally he questioned tne wisdom or the necessity for Federal laws to govern the issue of railroad securities. As a railroad executive lie did not oppose government relation of stock issues, but he did insist that if regula tion is to come the authorities charged to enact it be vested witn full power totorce k- iue present slhlus hi iue ranroaus pricked on all sides by a thicket of conflicting State hvivs, was Dad. he saw, out a further conflict of State laws and the Feaeral laws, was a pos sibility from wnich ue hopd to be de livered. Rates and capitalizaztian, their rela tion to each other and the relation of the public to both of them were the gist of Judge Lovett's testimony. He did not see that rates had anything to do with dividends .in actual practice or that the Government should have any concern lor what sort of railroad securities the public, bought. In twen ty-flve years' experience, he nad not met with an instance in which ratec had been changed to affect interest payments or dividends. He doubtec' if there were a deseentraiffic men in the country fc.jfcawthe capitaliza tion of the companies they represent ea. Therefore, tuere was no need for refutation of securities as a control of rates. f If it is proposed to make a physical valuation of tue railroads as a basis for umiting rates, he could only say any scheme of appraising property by an attempt to estimate the cost of its reproduction was exceedingly mis chievous and utterly impracticali Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the Kansas City Soutnern Railway, and for the receivers of the Seaboard Aii Line Railway, recommended that no railroad be permitted to acquire con trol of another except by lease or out right purchase. This for protection of the minority stockholders. Where three-fourtns of the share holders favored a sale and one-quarter opposed it, he recommended that the court order a sale. Such, he said, was the English practice, and experi ence showed that it worked well. STUDENTS FOUGHT POLICE. Serious Rioting Caused One Death. 275 Students Held. Odessa, Dec. 21. An attempt by the police today to disperse a stu dents' meeting in the precincts of the university led to a serious riot, in which one student was killed, three were wounded and others received slight wounds. Seven policemen were severely injured. During the course of the meeting the police requested the students to withdraw. In answer a shot was fired in the air. Thereupon the dean call ed upon the prefect, and a strong de tachment of police and cossacks sur rounded the University building. The prefect while mounting the steps, was greeted with a volley of revolver shots from all the windows of the institu tion. The police replied with two volleys. Two hundred and thirty-five students were arrested. ORDERS' TO PULLMAN CO. Must Reduce Price of Upper Berths (in Sleeping Cars. Washington, Dec. 2i. Formal (or ders were announced by the Inter state Commerce Commision today re ducing the price heretofore exacted by the Pullman company for upper berths in sleeping cars. The other directs the Pullman com pany "to fix rates upon upper berths not exceeding 80 per cenL of the rates applicable under the Pullman Company's tariffs upon lower berths, whenever such lower berth rate is $1.75 or over, and in cases where the lower berth rate is $1.50, the upper berth rate shall be fixed at a rate not to exceed $1.25." The reduction of rates will become effective not later than February 1, 1911, and must remain in force for at least two years. iioona- Pa., December 21.

FATAL CINCINNATI FIRE SWEPT RLOGK Property Loss Reaches $2, 000,000 and Three Fire men Were Killed INCENDIARY ORIGIN BELIEF Block From Ninth and Sycamore to Broadway Burned Six Men Are Injured Insurance of $1,- 400,000 Details. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 21. A dozen streams still played tonight upon the smoldering wrecks of the fire that de stroyed a block of Cincinnati's manu facturing district early today. Re capitulation of the loss in life and property shows the disaster to Le larg er than any of the estimates placed during the progress of the conflagra tion. The final count shows that three men lost their lives, six were injured, one perhaps fatally, while the proper ty loss is more than $2,000,000. cover ed by insurance to the extent of $1.- 400.000. The origin of the blaze is unknown. but the manner in which the huge Duiidings burned caused belief of members of the fire department and insurance men that it was of incen diary nature. The body of Charles Schwengel. lad der man of fire company No. 15, now is oenevea to oe burned In the ruins. An entire block from Ninth and Sycamore streets to Broadway was swept by the flames. The firms burn ed out are: Krippendorf & O'Neal Shoe Compa ny, southeast corner Ninth and Syca more streets; Taylor Pool Leather Company, northeast corner Ninth and Sycamore streets Hill . Shoe (fompa ny, adjoining; Twin Lock Company. adjoining Krippendorf & O'Neol Shoe Company; Sycamore Street stable barn; Gries Pfleger Leather Compa ny, Victor Safe & Look Company, northwest corner Ninth . street and Broadway; Warehouse of the A- & J. Nurre Company, picture frames and moldings, Broadway, opposite Ninth; E. O. Duncan Paper Box Factory, ad joining the Nurre Warehouse; Wild- burg Box Factory, in the rear of the Nurre plant. The fire, it is believed, started in the engine room of the plant of the Krippendorf & O'Neal Company. Hardly had the fire been discovered when the flames leaped from almost every window from cellar to roof. When the fire apparatus arrived, it was seen that the shoe factory was doomed and the firemen turned to the work of trying to save adjoining build ings. They practically surrounded the fire with water, but it had too much of a start, aided by the wind, it continued to spread from the building. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. Floods and Famine Affects Over Two Milions in China. - Victoria, B. C, Dec. 21. News was brought by the steamship Aymeric today of floods that have caused great loss of life and of a severe famine in the Anhui Province, of China, affect ing two and a half millions of per sons. Rev. E. C. .LiObenstein, a retir ing missionary from North Anhui, said: "So desperate were the people that thousands banded together robbing any who had food supplies, and for weeks scarcely a night passed with out many murders. "The floods caused great loss of life. The rapid rise of water swept away scores of villages, thousands of persons being drowned. A railroad engineer reported that one of the bridges near there had been choked up with bodies and he had been im prisoned two days in the upper part of a temple before being rescued by a boatman. "The situation during the Winter will be terrible far worse than dur ing the famine three yeaws ago. The starving can be reckoned by hundreds of thousands, and relief committees should be organized at once. GAYNOR IS DISPLEASED. At Clamor Oyer Subway Situation He hxplains. New York, December 21.

Cap tain James Davidson, the veteran shipbuilder and vessel owner of Bay City, took the stand this afternoon at the nearing of the government s suit to dissolve the Great Lakes Towing Company as a trust in violation of the Sherman law, and recounted the steps that he took as an active participator in the organization of the towing com pany in 1899. Captain Davidson said he had been vice-president and a mem ber of te executive committee of the company since its inception. The witness said that necessity for a large tug anu wrecking company arose when the increasing size of lake freighters outgrew the ola towing and wrecking facilities. As a member oi the purchasing com mittee. he said, he went to all the principal ports on the lakes, inspect ing the tugs and equipment of the larger tug companies, offering them a "big, round price," and taking a 30 day option where tne terms were fa vorably received. Milwaukee and oledo, he said, were about the only posts where the com mittee a.- not carry through success ful negotiations for the purchase or the existing large tug lines. "I examined the engines, boilers hulls, diving suits and other equip ment of each tug," said Captain Da vidson, "and found that we were not going to try to steal tne tugs, but would give a good price for them and wanted them a and that we were go ing to have all the ship owners on the lakes interested, but no outsiders. According to Captain Davidson, it was he who initiated and pushed through a deal in 1900 to have the Great LAkes Towing Company buy out the' Maytham Tug Line at Buf falo, whicn competed with the Great Lakes Company for one season and caused a reduction of prices.

" Miners Were Trapped by Fierce Fire Following a Fearful Explosion RESCUE PARTY UNABLE TO AID Second Terrible Mine Disaster in Eng land Within a Year Several Rescued Alive Still , Some Hope. Bolton, England, Dec. 21. More than 300 colliers lost their lives today in an explosion in the little Hulton colliery of the Hulton Colliery Com pany, which is located a little dis tance outside this city. The explosion occurred early in the morning, soon after the miners had entered the pit to begin work. Its force was terrific, and later investiga tion showed that the lower pasages had been blocked. Heroic efforts were made by rescue parties all day long, but a fierce fire which followed the explosion prevented the rescuers from penetrating beyond 400 yards into the workings. At 9:30 o'clock tonight all the res cuers were called out of the mine and a conference was held at which gov ernment Inspector Gerrard, the en gineers and the mine manager were present. Inspector Gerrard issued a report after making a descent into the pit in which he stated that it was impossible that any of -the miners are still alive. He added that nothing could be done except to bring up 20 bodies found lying near the shaft. This re port was communicated to the anxious crowds around the pit mouth, after which the Bishop of Manchester con ducted a touching service in the open and the people slowly dispersed. No explanation is given as to the cause 'of the -explosion which com pletely wrecked the mine, This is the second great mine dis aster in England this year, an explo sion having occurred in. the Welling ton colliery at W&te Haen Cumber land, on May 12th, in which 136 min ers were kiRed. The explosion today resulted in the temporary disable ment of the machinery whereby the cages are lowered and drawn to the surface, and it was considerable time before the first rescue party reached the bottom of the pit. In all they brought out eight men, still living, but the majority of these were in a ser ious condition from the noxious gas es. Ten bodies also were removed. and 20 additional bodies were found partly covered by heavy falls of coal. More Found Alive. Late tonight the colliery fans were started again and the air was found to be fairly good. Arrangements were then made for relays of rescuers to go Into the mine every three hours throughout the night. Towards mia nicht two more miners were found alive. They were terribly burned and are in a critical condition. It was announced that 40 bodies had been collected at the bottom of the shaft and they will be brought up as soon as possible. A flicker of hope still animates the rescuers that more men may be found alive. Doctors, nurses and ambulances are still on the scene, and relatives, mostly wo men, are lingering in the vicinity. Among the incidents was the deatn of a rescuer who, anxious to reach his two sons who were entombed, got In advance of his comrades and forfeit ed his life from after-damp. The King has sent a touching mes sage of sympathy. SUGAR FRAUD8 AGAIN. Customs Experts Making Investiga tion in Washington. Washinerton. Dec. 21.
