Wiehe, secretary of the Edward Hines Lum ber ComiDany, of Chicago, was s-ub- jected to a sharp cross-examination today before the senate Lorimer com mittee as to the part he and Edward Hines, president of the lumber com pany, took in the Lorimer election. Attorney J. H. Marble lor the com mittee, directed attention to the night when Wiehe asked W. H. Cook and William O’Brien at Hine’s alleged request to keep out of the way while the grand jury was in session in Chicago. "Did you know it was a violation of the law to advise persons to avoid subpoenas? ' querried the attor ney.. “I didn’t think about it at that time; I was just a messenger for Mr. Hines.” Chairman Dillingham wanted to know whether subpoenas for Cook and O’Brien had been issued. At torneys for Hines stated they had not been but Senator Kern letd the witness to &ay that Hines said to him that night that he w’as advised subpoenas had been issued. “Did you say that night that Mr. Hines v.'as talking too much about the Lorimer case?” asked Mr. Mar ble. “I might have. I knew Mr. Hines felt that by his message to Gov ernor Deneen he believed he had been influential in the election of Lorimer and I thought as has been shown, that if Hines kept talking about his part in the election he would get Lorimer’s enemies down on him.” Wiehe declared that one of the rea sons why he asked R. J- Shields, the affidavit collector of Superior, Wis., to meet him in Chicago about ten days ago, was to discuss sending him to Albany,, N. Y. Wielie explained . that the Hines companf desired to ascertain If .Cyrus McCormick contributed anything to the Taft campai,?n in 1908, and that he had been advised the list of contri butions was on file with the secretary of state at Albany. “I had wired the secretary of state and had gotten a reply that the list was destroyed, only being retained for fifteen months,” said the witness. “Since coming here I have received a wire from Albany saying the list would be furnished for $1,000.” Wiehe did not think the charge was solely for ccppying the 128 pages of contributions. “Do yoi: mean to say there are 128 pages of contributions to the Taft campaign fund?” asked Senator Kern, late vice presidential candidate on the ticket opposed to Mr. Taft. “Yes, sir,” replied the witness. “I see how it happened then,” re sponded the defeated candidate. Richmond Murdet Being Investigated By Associated Press. Richmond, Va., July 21.—Coroner Loving, of Chesterfield county, today began an inquest into the death of Mrs. Louise Owen Beattie, slain Tues day night five miles south of Richmond on the Midlothian turnpike while au- tomobiling with her husband, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., who was expected to be the chief witness. Overwnelming Majority** is an Unheard Expiession—- Few Charges of Corruption Made—Birmingham, Ala. to Vote on Local Option. By Associated Press. Dallas, Texas, July 21.—It is north Texas against south Texas in tomor row’s state-wide prohibition election, according to dispatches today from Associated Press correspondents on the closing of the campaign in the cities, towns and more important county seats throughout the entire state. The antis are making the most con fident claims in south Texas, while the prohibitionists are doing the same in north Texas from Louis>iana to the New Mexican state line. It is noticeable, however, that the great er number of these “claims” or conceded majorities” on either side are by a very small margin. “Over whelming majority” is almost an un heard of expression. Campaigning appears to have been warmest at least in the number of speeches made, in the populous sec tions of north and east Texas. Aa an indication of today’s claims throughout those sections it may be said that out of about 50 towns, the number where the prohibitionists claim a distinct majority and where thep ro and anti claims make an even break are about equal. Today’s s-ummaries of the cam paign are notable for absence of mention of more jpian sporadic charges of corruption on either side. For Local Option Election Birmingham, Ala., July 21.—Pro bate Judge J. P. Stiles this morning set August 24 as the date for the local option election in this city and county.
