his vote for William lorlmer for the
United States senate, and that he

most emphatic manner. Mr. lirowne,
alleged by White to have been the
distributor of the Lnrlmer money, de
clared that White hud rushed Into
print because he had failed In an
attempt to use his story to secure
"hush money."
Robert K. Wilson, a democratic rep
resentative from Chicago, declared by
White to have dealt the "Jack pot"

nials. According to lirowne, White was
formerly a street car conductor at
East St. Louis and later appeared at
Springfield as a lobbyist in favor of
labor bills.. Then he was elected to
the lower house. White in his charge
states that the public mi'-cht expert
to hear him called a blackmailer,

he was willing to suffer Ignominy In
order to expose the corruption w hich
he declared exists -at Springfield.
Browne declared today that on sev.
oral occasions he had loaned White
money, but finally grew tired of it
Theji. he said, he secured White a
position but the latter refused It. Then
a coolness, he said, sprang' up.
"The next thing to come from him,"
said Browne, "was a remarkable let

BACK TO THE FARM!
ST. UH'IS. April 30. A nation
wide "back to the farm" movement
lo be Inaugurated In this city May 5
at a preliminary meeting of Inter
ested parties called by Governor
Herbert 8- Hadley.
He proposes to organize the Na
tional Karm Homer association with
the philanthropists of the country as
stockholders to furnish farms, equip
ment and Instruction for worthy ap
plicants who are necking to escape
from the cities. ,
Prominent men are taking an ac
tive part in the plan. Addresses will
be made at the preliminary meeting
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
W. J. Bryan. Jacob Kiis. and others.
Hartley's plan is made up of the
best features of similar ideas In use
In Europe, with minor additions by
himself. H is proposed to Incorporate
the association tor $ 1,000,000, the
stock to be divided Into one thousand
shares of 11.000 each, these shares,
'. is expected will pay dividends
which either will be taken out by the
stockholders or added to the capi
tal. It is then proposed to locate col
onies on model farms in Texas, Mis
souri, Alabama and other states
where land is cheap and fertile. Each
farmer will be allotted forty acres, a
home will be erected for him and
fences, utensils and live stock fur
nished. Thirty two of these 40-acre
farms will constitute a colony.
Each colony also will include a
central farm, presided over by an ex
pert agriculturist, who will oversee
the work on the farms, the proper
rotation . of crops, etc. Tenants will
be given ample time to pay for their
farms, and their proofs have been
figured out by Hadley as averaging
J3.E00. Each colony will have a
school, where scientific farming will
be taught in addition to the usual
curriculum. Entertainment will be
provided for the colonists so that
