White, the legislator wnose account of graft at Springfield result- ed in the Lorimer -investigation. It vas subsequent to testimony by Ed- ward Hines that Henry S. Beutell, now American minister to Switzerland, toid him President Taft would assist in the election of Lorimer to the senate. Get Story in Roundabout Way. Mr. Keeley said what he knew about the Hopkins story was obtained from Clifford Raymond, then representing the Tribune at Springfield, and from Ira C. Copley, representative in con- gress from Aurora, Ill. He testified that Charles Whaeler, another Chicago newspaperman at Springfleld, came to Raymond during the legislative session in 1909 and told him a story which Speaker Shurtleff had personally re- quested be not printed. What Ray- mond told Mr. Kezley, the witness tes- tified. Raymond said had been told him by Wheeler. Mr. Keeley said: Meeting at a Springfield Hotel. “Raymond told me that the story was that on a certain night Speaker Shurtleff, Dan Shapahan and some others whose names I do not recall met in a certain room ia the St. Nicholas hotel in Springfield, and that that meeting was caused by a report being received that a certain man had come to Springfizld to buy certain demo- g:m- votes on a certain day for Hop- Accused of Buying Votes. “That Representative John C. Wor- and Anton C. E. Make were called ind the speaker, Shurtleff, told them kn>w what they were doing: that he an attempt was being made to buy democratic votes, and -he read them a list of 15 or 20 men who were to be bought and the prices that were to be paid. The list was headed by ‘Manny’ Abrahams, the ‘belwether,’ I have been told. P R Speaker Made a Threat. “Shurtleff sald: ‘Now, we know what is going on, and you can't put it through. If ‘Manny’ Abrahams votes for Hopkins tomorrow I will suspend the rollcall and will anmounce your names and will read the list of men *o be bought. If you try that, that is what I will do.’ Roger Sullivan Discouraged It. “That Roger Sullivan had been tele- pheued to go to Springfield. His train wag due to_arrive from Chicago about midnight. He rounded up his followers and told them he would blow out -f the political waters if they attempted such a thing.” Fund of $28,000 or $30,000. Mr. Keeley said Raymond told him this story prior to Lorimer's election and that $28,000 or $30,000 was reputed to have been taken to Springfield. He then read from a memorandum that on Sept. 21, 1910, Representative Colley and Hopkins came from the same town and they “hate each other healthily and viciously.” Blount Had the Money. - He then produced a memorandum of what Copley had said. effect that “Danisl Byrnes, formerly oZ the Chicago Northwestern, was the man_who tried to put through the deal,” and that the money was taken to Springfield by a resident of Wheat- on, Il - Mr. Keeley tsstified that he was informed that the Wheaton man was Fred M. Blount. Governor Deneen Informed. According to the memorandum, Copley said he called upon Governor Denzen and the governor agreed to call in 20 of his republican allies and if the democrats voted for Hopkins to have these 20 switch from Hopkins. An Unusual Happening. “Anything unusual take place 1n Springfield the next day?” asked At- torney Marble. “For the first times the roll of the house was called before that of the senate.” PR R e PR S T el g T AR A S M REDUCTION ORDERED IN FREIGHT RATES Interstate Commerce Commission Acts in Pacific Coast Cases. 4 Washington, July 2 known as the Spokane-Reno-Pacific coast cases, the interstate commerce commission today ordered material re- @uction in freight rates from the east to points between Denver and the western terminals of the great trans- continental railroads, or many years the railroads have exacted from shippers to intermediate points, such as Spokane and Reno, higher rates on eastern freights than were charged for the much longer hauls to Seattle, San Francisco and other Pacific coast points, The theory has been that the railroads must meet water competition to the Pacific coast. The higher rates to intermediate . arbitrarily fixed, have been de- d by a comparison with the coast Tates, plus a theoretical back haul from the coast to the inland stations along the line. The commission recognizes the right of a railroad to meet water compdti- tion to Pacific coast points, but prac- tically wipes out the back haul rates to inter-Rocky mountain territory, It lays down what it considers would be fair and just rates to various freight zones in the west and gives the rail- roads until October 15 to adjust their tariffs accordingly. The decisions announced late today are of far-reaching importance. They affeot directly ali of the freight rates between the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific coast. AD WOLGAST SUED BY FATHER OF GIRL.

I, July 24 One person was killed and two wo- men were badly injured this afternoon when a westbound Long Island, rail- road train struck an automobile at the Thompson avenue crossing in Winfield, The women were rushed to/St. John's hospital here.

Mrs. Gilroy was thrown clear of the w;eckage and is suffering mostly from shock. The motorman of the train, Harry Lefferts, says that he blew his whis- tle at the customary place, but inas- much as the crossing is supposed to be guarded with gates he did not attempt to slacken his speed until he was fair- ly upon the automobile.

ARBUCKLE TESTIFIES FROM SICK BED. ys Sherman Law Prevented the Set- tlement of the Sugar War. New Paltz, N. Y., July 24.—The one &00d reason why the warring sugar in- terests did not sisn an agreement to end the conflict was fear of the Sher- man anti-trust law. There were min- or considerations, but every time the matter was broached to John Arbuckle when the fight waxed warm, Mr. Ar- buckle declined and #0ld his opponents Tt was to thohto remember the Shefman law. | Testimony Given in Bed. Propped up by pillows in his bed, Mr. Arbuckle so testified today before a sub-committee of the special con- gressional investigating committee. The congressmen had come to Mr. Ar- buckle's bedside because he was un- able to come to them, and they found him apparently unreserved as to the history of his commercial battles. Con- gressmen;lawyers and reporters.crowd- ed about him to hear the recital. He was in vigorous voice and reminiscent mood. Fight Started in 1898. He said the fight started in 1898, aft- er there had been a little friction be- tween his coffee company and American refinery. The American com- pany retaliated by going into the cof- fee business. Previofis to that, how- ever, he said Mr. Havemeyer tried un- successfully to purchase 51 per cent. o1 | his uncompleted refinery. This was in 1897 he said. Havemeyer came to see him about it. “I knew H. G. Havemeyer for forty vears,” he said. “He had his good and his bad qualities. He played his violin magnificently, and I told him that a man who could make that kind of music was not as bad as people thought him to be.” Mr. Arbuckle said the American Su- gar Refining company had the ability to and always did maintain the price of sugar. Because of its capacity it fixes the maximum price, he said, and the independents fix the minimum price. = MONEY BIG FACTOR IN HAITIEN SITUATION Soldiers Will Fight for President as Long as He Pays Them. New York, July 24.—That money is the power that will decide the out- come of the present revolutionary movement in Haiti, is the opinion ex- pressed today by passengers who re- turned from Haitien ports on board the steamer Albingia, President Simon has behind him at Port au Prince, the capital, between 3,000 and 3,500 men. If he pays them their full wages regularly they will fight, and he will have a good chance of breaking up the revolutionary move- ment, the leaders of which, particu- larly LeCohte and Firmin, are bicker- ing among themselves. President Si- mon has money to meet the demands of his soldiers and the belief was ex- pressed that he would gladly pay it out to accomplish his purpose. The rebels also have money—it is currently reported in Haiti that cer- tain German commercial interests are backing them, but if the tide turns in favor of Simon this source of war sinews probably will dry up. BEATTIE'S PARAMOUR TO TURN AGAINST HIM. “Woman in the Case” Makes Important Admissions to Police. Richmond, Va., July 24.—Develop- ments in the Beattie murder casa to- day were marked by an indication on the part of Beulah Binford, the wom- an with whom Henry C. Beattie was infatuated, that she has decided to turn against him. Miss Binford is in jail as a material witness in default of $1,000 bonds. At a conference between the girl, ths detectives and Commonwealth Attorney Wendberg it is understood that she made admissions which strengthen the theory of the commonwealth's repre- sentatives that Beattie alone shot his wife to death on the lonely Midlothian turnpike PUSH AGAINST A SINK PROVES FATAL TO BOY.

One hundred and nine have already replied in the affirm- ative. ; In Interest of Home Rule.. The Marquis of Londonderry in a letter to a paper urges his party to support Lord Landsowne on the ground | that acceptance of the parliamentary | bill would still leave the house of| lords powed to delay the home rule bill |, for two yvears, while if peers were cre- | ated wholesale an Irish _parliament | might be’established in Dublin next year, and, once established, it could not be abolished without difficulty and danger. | “Bad Temper and Worsn Manners.” The Daily Telegraph, which supports | Lord Lansdowne, in an editorial this, morning severely denounces the insult | offered to the premier yesterday by in- surgent unionists as a disgusting ex- hibition of bad temper and ‘worse man- ners. Papers Attack Asquith. But the Morning Post, the Standard | a.nd other unionist organs, represent- | ing the insurgent side, exhibit not the slightst ccmnuppunction. Instead they bitterly attack Mr. Asquith as an un- scrupulous political adventurer, for what they deseribe as his shameful abuse of his powers in obtaining the king’s consent to create Deers. HOUSE OF COMMONS IN A WILD UPROAR. Premier Asquith Howled Down When He Attempted to Speak. London, July 24—The last act of the parliamentary revolution was ushered in today with a revolutionary scene. For the first time in its history, the house of commons refused to listen to a speech by the prime minister. For the first time in its history the speaker of the house was compelled to invoks the rule which empowers him “in case of grave disorder” to declare the sit- ting adjourned on his own responsibil- ity Nothing Like It Since Gladstone Days. No such _hostile passions have been glven free rein in a chamber which traditionally carries on its debates with chivairous courtesy since the stormy days of the Gladstone home rule bill. Probably there has been no such passage in the American congress since the reconstruction era. Asquith Hooted and Jeered. During three-quarters of an _hour | Mr, Asquith rose at short intervals and | read a sentence or two from a manu- script, only to be overwhelmed by jeers, hootings and cries, among which| *“traitor” was the most frequent, but “Redmond,” “Patrick Ford” ~ and “American_dollars” often distinguish- able. Again and again the prime min- ister tried to speak, but his voice was drowned in the uproar. He gave ut- terances to a few broken sentences, a word of two of which could be heard. Would Not Degrade Himseilf. Finally his mouth hardened and he glared at his tormentors like a lion at bay—an impressive figure,with straight cut features flushed with anger, and heavy gray-hair. He folded his manu- script_and cried: “I am not going to degrade myself. I shall simply state| the conclusion at which the govern- ment has arrived.” Announced Government’s Intention: Having announced the government's intentions ‘as briefly and hurriedly as possible—though they were not heard— the premier sank back into his seat. Leaders of the Disorder. The leaders in the outburst against the prime minister were Lord Hugh Cecil, an_intensely unpopular member of one of the patrician families, and | a young barrister, F. E. Smith, who recently achieved prominence in _the conservative party. The former kept up a constant fire of monotonaus | cries, and the labor member, Will Crooks, in rough clothes and slouch hat, sitting across the aisle, several times jumped up as though about to assault him, but was pulled back by friendly hands. No Blows Were Struck. The speaker's pleadings that the members “observe the decencies of de- bate” were lost in the tumult. The wonder was that the crowded house did not come to blows, but the belli- cose members were pulled down by | their colleagues. The political hatred | engendered by the veto bill made to- day’s session the stormiest in the memory of the oldest member. Speaker Had to Suspend ing. Every means short of physical force was successfully used to prevent Mr. Asquith from Pcing the views of the government before the house and tke nations. So violent were the opposi- tion members and so indignant were the ministerialists that after two hours the speaker decided ‘to suspend the sit- ting to obviate graver disorders. Called “Traitor” and “Coward.” The members dispersed amid a scene of great excitement. Shouts of “trai- tor,” “coward,” followed the prime minister as he departed, to which the { ministerialists hurled back cries of “You're beaten,” “We will win. Purport of Asquith’s Speech. Tonight Mr. Asquith issued to the newspapers a summary of the speech he was prevented from delivering. In! the speech he contended that the prin- ciples of the machinery of the bill had been before the people at two elec- tions. By no form of referendum devis- | able could the opinion of the electorate have been more carefully ascertained. The government had accepted the im- portant amendment in the house of commons; the purpose of the lords’ amendment was to set the machinery aside. Steamship Arrivals.

Remnants of More Bodies GRUESOME FINDS CONTINUE ON WRECK OF MAINE. BONES PILED UP IN A HEAP| Evidently Remains of Men Who Were Sleeping on Open Deck at Time of Explosion—Derricks Being Placed. Havana, July 24—The remains of three or four more bodies—the precise number has not been determined— were recovered today from the wreck of the Maine. They consisted of bones, most of them fractured and placed in a confused heap. Some of them show- ed the action of fire.

Officeres’ Quarters Covered With Mud.

The coffer dam is now dry, except for pools of gwater due to the operation of the pumps which are engaged in cleaning out the interior. After Section May Be Floated. Thehe is now fairly good reason to hope that the main bulkhead immedi- ately aft of the central superstructure, at which point the hull apparently was severed, retains sufficient strength to justify the expectation that the after- Section of the ship, constituting onme- third of its total length, may e float- ed. Forward Section Looks Like Dump. Forward of this point the destruction was so great that, viewed from the wall of the coffer dam nearest the bow, the wreck of the battleship resembles nothing so much as the dumping place for tin cans, rusty iron and refuse in slimy pools, such as is common on the outskirts of any American village, but magnified a thousandfoldx Mud Pumps at Wérk. The mud pumps are now in full op- eration, but the lowering of the level of the slime surrounding the wreck is hardly perceptible, owing to the up- heaval of mud caused by hundreds of tons of broken stone that have been dumped into the coffer dam to rein- force its walls. Derricks Being Erected. Derricks and other timber super- structures are now being erected above the wreck for the purpose of removing the masses of metal as fast as they are dissected by hydro-acetelene blasts vhich will shortly be put into opera- tion.
