Supporters  of
Lorimer.
By Associated Pratt.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 28.—That
President Taft and  Senators Aldrich
and Penrose urged   tbe   election   of
WUliam Lorimer senator from Illinois
: in order to obtain a vote of the Payne-
- Aldrich tariff bill was the burden of
testimony given today by Edward
Hines, a Ohicago lumper dealer, before the . senate Investigation committee that  today  began an   inquiry
' into aUeged bribery ln the Illinois legislature at the time Mr. Lorimer was
elected senator.
I' .jj|lr. Hines was the first witness. He
testified that President Taft and Senator Aldrich were uneasy about tbe
senatorial deadlock at Springfield and
that they had urged him to do his utmost tn bringing about Senator Lorimer's election,    Mr.    Hines   declared
-.Unt President Taft was anxious that
Illinois should elect a senator Without delay ln view of the then pending
tariff bill.
Mr. Hi nee' Story.
Mr. Hines, said:
"I think, along in April, 1909, Senator Penrose asked me whether a Unit-,
ed States senator would be elected
fiom Illinois. I said I bad heard some
remarks of a deadlock which would
occur and no senator would be elected.
I" told bim tbat I did not know anything about the situation. This was
■ j^fipbt tjie' middle of April. Later, only
a short time, Senator Aldrich sent for
me and stated that the administration
at the time was very snxious for a
senator to be elected trom fllinols at
t|w earliest date possible and wanted
to know if Bome Influence could not be
-'brought upisn M^rxortme* to become a
candidate, that he understood that It
Mr. Lorimer became a candidate
he could be elected. I told him I
■would see the congressman. Lorimer
stated that he would not become a
candidate and had given lt ont so to
m number of his friends.
"I think this conversation was early
In May. Then Senator Aldrich came
to me and told me the President was
very desirous of Lorimer's becoming a
oandidate and to do all he could to be
elected at the earlier date possible,
that the tariff bill, the so-called Payne-
Aldrlch tariff bfll, was then up tn tbe
senate and showed a very strong prbb-
itbilltv of being unable to pass lt there
was not a senator from Illinois. He.
asked me if I could not immediately get
In touch with Congressman Lorimer
over the long distance telephone and
impress upon his mind that the President was anxious for him to become a
candidate and to do all he could to be
elected. I went to the telephone between 12 and i o'clock ln tbe morning
and called Congressman Lorimer. Mr.
Lorimer was ln   Springfield   at   the
time.
President Was Nervous.
"Then Just a very short time prior
to Mr. Lorimer's eleotlon. Senator Aldrich came to me again and stated tbe
President was very nervous about the
situation ln Illinois, that he was
afraid that the legislature would adjourn without electing a United
States senator, that they were very
anxious to have a senator elected from
Illinois and wanted me to see Congressman Lorimer and see if be
couldn't be elected senator before the
legislature adjourned.
"I telegraphed Congressman Lorimer
that I was leaving Washington for
Springfield via Chicago. I arrived In
Chicago on the morning of the day he
was elected. I telephoned him I was
going to Springfield to see him and
carry the message of the President to
Impress upon those in Springfield that
the administration wanted Mr. Lorimer
to be'elected United States senator at
the earliest moment possible. He told
me that possibly I could save time and
accomplish the same purpose It I
would call up Oovernor Deneen on the
telephone and acquaint bim wltb the
message I had from the President. I
called up Oovernor Deneen and ex-
plained my message from Washington.
I then telephoned Senator Lorimer
about 11 o'clock that day and told him
what the governor stated."
No Financial Aid.
Mr.' Hines declared that the only
member of the Illinois legislature with
whom he discussed Mr. Lorimer's candidacy, was Senator-Thomas B. Stewart of Aurora. The witness said that
Senator Stewart was pledged to Albert
j. Hopkins. The witness denied that
be sent an agent of any character to
members of the legislature for the purpose ot aiding Mr. Lorimer's candidacy.
Tbe witness declared tiiat the question of financial aid for Mr. Lorimer
was not brought up either in Washington, Chicago or elsewhere that be
knew of.

ALIEN TERRORISTS
MAY BE ARRESTED
The Secret Service Is After
Italians.
By Associated Prett.
CHICAGO, March 28.—United States
secret service operatives are about to
explode a "Black Hand" bomb that is
expected finally to run to justice officers and members of the body that ln
a little more than one year has claimed
nearly forty lives and caused a reign
of terror in the Italian district.
The threat upon the life of Judge
K. M. Landis of the United States district court was but one feature of a
program of threats and blackmail that
has been carried into the midst of the
government's department of justice in
Chicago. The threats resulted in the
recalling of members of the F. C.
Alongl jury Whtch disagreed after
hearing evidence in a Black Hand case
a week ago and the discovery that
members of the jury had been terrorized and that their inability to reach
a verdict probably was the direct result of the threats.

defunct Carnegie Trust company, was
indicted by the grand jury late today,

for him to appear In court to plead to
the indictment. His plea was "not
guilty," entered with leave to withdraw and, although the charge against
him is only a misdeampanor, ball was
fixed at $10,000.
It was furnished by a surety, company.
CINCINNATI JUDGES
TAKEN FROM BENOH
Cox's Oase May Reach the
Supreme Oourt.
By Associated Prest.
CINCINNATI, 0„ March 28.—There
appeared tonight to be a probabiUty
that the legal tangle preceding the
trial of George B. Cox for perjury will
reach the supreme court of Ohio within a day or two. This deduction comes
from moves made by attorneys for Cox
today after Judges Swing, Smith and
E. A. Jones of the circuit court had
been ruled off the bench by the presiding judge, Thomas A. Jones of Jackson, O.
Moves in the intricate game of legal
technicalities were made rapidly today.
Tbe flrst step was a decision by Presiding Judge Thomas A. Jones that
Judges Swing and Smith, against
whom an affidavit charging "prejudice
and bias" in favor of Cox had been
filed by Prosecutor Hunt and Judge
Gorman, must vacate tbe bench tn this
case. An affidavit flled by Cox's attorney's asking for the elimination of
Judge E. A. Jones, the third member
of the circuit court, was then sustained by the presiding Judge.
In the place of these three judges,
Presiding Judge Jones named Judges
Festus Walters of Circlesvllle, O.. E.
D. Sayre of Athens, O., and himself.
MESSAGE  TO   BE   BRIEF.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—President Taft's message to the extra session of congress to be convened next
Tuesday will be exceptionally brief.
He has decided to deal only with the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Latert he President may send another
message to the extra session urging
the enactment of a law making the tariff board a permanent Institution.
DATE OF PRIMARIES
FIXED FOR SEPT. 30
Act Amended in Senate on
Tuesday.
Special to the HeraM.
FRANKLIN, March 28.—RepubUcan
County Chairman Frank H. Williams
this forenoon received a telegram from
Assemblyman W. "F. Whitman at Harrisburg, stating that the state senate
today amended the aet relative to the
primaries this year, making the day
tbo last Saturday in September, whiho
will be the 80th, six months away. The
bill as It passed the house provided
that the primaries should be held on
Oct. 7, but there is no reason to believe th it the house will not concur in
the senate amendment.
The fact that the primaries will not
be held until next foil means that
there will be a long campaign tor
those peeking nominations. It has
been apparent for some time that the
primaries would be late, but that has
not seemed to arrest the zeal of the
varicus criiididitPs. Maybe there will
be a lull during the summer.
SCHOOL CODE SCORED
BY MANY OPPONENTS
PROVISIONS   SAID   TO
BE INCONSISTENT.
POLITICS IS F E A R E D
All Attempts to Amend
the Measure Defeted
in a Decisive
Manner.
By Associated Prett.
HARRISBURG, March 28.—The provision ln the scbool code for the establishment of a state board of education
was denounced as adding an unnecessary adjunct to the state educational
system by Mr. Deardon, Philadelphia,
in the committee of the whole house
considering the code tonight. Mr.
Deardon said that too much power was
vested in the governor, who is to appoint the board, and voiced his fear
tbat the board would be dragged into
poUtics. In the course of his remarks
be praised the present department of
public Instruction and asked who
weuld challenge the integrity or ability of the present state superintendent.
John R. K. Scott of Philadelphia, in
reply to Mr. Deardon, said that the
house had better not take his colleague too seriously when he said the
board would "upset the school system."
Code  I:  Inconsistent.
The code was denounced as "the
climax 'of inconsistency" by Mr. Hess
of Lancaster, who said the framers
of the code cut down school boards to
get efficient service and yet provided
a Btate beard to help one superintendent do his work.
The motion of Mr. Deardon to strike
out the provision for a state board was
generally debated and lost by 62 ayes
to 79 noes. An attempt was made to
defeat one of the sections prescribing
duties of the board, but it was frustrated by a vote of 67 to 80. The article, creating the board was then adopted. The house went into committee of
the, wholg at 10: so p. m., but previous
to that these biUs were presented:
Overdrafts a Felony.
Mr. Fabey of Philadelphia, making lt
a felony for a person to draw checks
or drafts in excess of the bank balances of the drawer.
Mr. Ulrich of Westmoreland, making counties liable for costs In cases
of summary convictions where defendant ts committed to JaU ln default of
payment.
Mr. Freeman of Lebanon, fixing
18.60 as the weekly allowance fcr each
chronic Insane patient, $1.50 to be paid
by the county or poor district from
which patient is sent.
The house rose from committee
shortly after midnight and adjourned

WASHINGTON, March 28.—There
was much dlscussien of the relationship of state banks to the proposed
NaUonal Reserve association at a conference today between the National
Monetary commission and the currency commission of the American
Bankers' association over tbe Aldrlcn
currency bUl.
All the members, Cf both the monetary and currency commissions appeared io recognize the necessity of
taking ctre of the state Institutions
and a numbei of suggestions were
made.
The plan whtch appeared to receive
the most favorable consideration was
one looking to tbe orlnging of state
banks under the federal charters. It
was suggested that this end might be
accomplished by broadening the privileges of the national banks. Under
the present law those banks are not
permitted to loan money on real estate
or to do a savings bank or trust business and lt was suggested that lf
tbese features could be added many
of the state banks would accept national charters in order to obtain the
added security which would be assured by that step.
Incidentally there were many references to the postal savings bank system and there wasvgen'eral concurrence of opinion that, whatever might
be the outlook the postal system, insofar as bringing funds out cf hiding
and Into the banks Is concerned, It
bad not met all the expectations of
some of Its friends.

Jennings Bryan, Governor Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey, Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio and Senator

NEW YORK, March 28—The g'and
Jury threw Into action today the machinery for full investigation of the
Washington square flre of Saturday, in
which 142 Uves were lost, by subpoenaing twenty persons as witnesses to
establish the blame, and the board of
aldermen paved the way for .an ordinance naking fiie drills compulsory
ln factories.
Among the witnesses summoned be-
loie the grand jury are Max Blanchon,
one of rhe proprietors of the Triangle
Waist company, whose employes were
Hie victims, and Joseph Asch, owner
ol the building.
A Day of Funerals.
Fire Marshal Beers continued his
inquiry today. Tlie worf^jftf Identification eliminated from the morgue an
but twenty bodies and scores of funerals were held on tlie East Side. In
addition, an aldermanic committee
was instructed to drait a bill tor presentation to the legislature placing the
installation and maintenance of flre
escapes on- all buildings solely under
the jurisdiction of the lire department,
where. Chief Croker said, it should
have rested all the while.
Chief Croker declared for flre escapes cn all buildings, fireproof and
Otherwise.
A Disregarded Order.
The proposed ordinance requiring
compulsory flre drills was left with a
committee. Incidentally, the aldermen
Inventoried their unenforced commands and found an order to the Manhattan superintendent of buildings "to
report any dangerous conditions which
may exist by virtue of inadequate legislation nnd wbich may cause loss of
life by flre." The order was Issued
shortly after twenty-six girls lost thetr
lives In a flre at Newark, N. J., last
Nov. 6.
Before Flre Marshal Beers a machinist named Greenspan testlfled that
when he ran from his post on the ninth
floor, as the flames swept through the
buUding, the doors swung open to bis
tugging, contrary to the marshal's
statement that they were locked and
barred. Greenspan said he escaped by
the roof alone, although girls grasped
his garments 'as he rnn.
"It was too dark," he said, "to atd
them."
Doors Not Looked.
Battalion   Chief   Worth, vwho ""first
saw the huddled group of flfty bodies
on the nlntb floor, testlfled also that
he found no doors locked or barred.
Indignation aroused by the suggestion that the unidentified dead be
placed in a single grave was dissipated today by the announcement tbat the
department rf charities wonld procure
a plot of ground in a private cemetery
and bury each victim in a separate coffin.
The chief relief fund totalled $26,000
tonight. To Andrew Carnegie's $5,000,
donated yesterday, were added today
$1,500 from Mrs. Russell Sage, $1,000
from Thomas F. Ryan and many contributions up to $500.   *

HARRISBURG, March 28—The commission form of government for sec-
I ond class cities, under what is known
I as the Pittsburg-Scranton plan, these
being the only two cities in that class,
was advocated today at a hearing held
by four committees of the legislature
having for consideration a bill recently introduced. The bill provides for a
council of nine to be selected at large,
each member to be paid $6,500 a year.
The power of the mayor and controller
are to remain unchanged, but the council is to conduct the rest of the government. A delegation of 275 from
Pittsburg and another of more than
I 100 from Scranton arrived during the
afternoon and marched to the capital
: headed by a band.
The speakers were presented by
Thomas J. Keenan, chairman of the
committee of Plttsburgers, In charge
of the bill, and Included Bishop Court-
land Whitehead, A. Leo Weil, George
R. Wallace, ex-Mayor George W.
(bithrie, Dr. Leonard Levy of Pittsburg
and H. E. Payne and R. D. Towne of
Scranton.
The speech of Mr. Well was one of
the most striking, as it dealt with conditions whioh were found to prevail in
Pittsburg when the municipal graft

WASHINGTON, March 28.—Unless
the supreme court of the United States
hands down its decisions ln the dissolution suits against the Standard Oil
| and the Tobacco corporations next
Monday tbere will be a truly disappointed group of men around the cap-
it ol on that day. Inquiries made
dally at the court room indicate tbat
tbe chamber will be crowded with
anxious individuals.
Not the least intimation has been
given by the court tbat the decisions
will be announced on that day. Ths
belief that there will be a very early
determination of the cases ls attrabu-
table to several reasons. For the two
months the entire court has had tbo
cases under consideration and tbe majority of the court had the cases under
advisement several months after the
first argument. Two recesses have
heen taken to enable the members to
devote themselves exclusively to the
preparations of opinions In cases already argued before them. Tbe last
one' of these recesses will end Mon-
day.
Recess Was Unusual.
Particular attention has been directed to it because it is understood to be
Intended to take tbe place of the recess the court usuaUy takes at Easter.
Tt ia suggested that tbe court, appreciative of tbe general anxiety for as"
early opinion in tbe so-called "trusts
cases;"- advanced their recess so as to
devote'"their time earlier in the year,
to a settlement of tbe controversy.
The fact that the court has rendered
comparatively few opinions since the
Argument of the "trust cases" has led
io the presumption that its members
are devoting themselves largely to a
consideration of these "big" cases.
The belief was expressed today that
if tbe decisions should not be announced Monday the court will surely
reach a conclusion of the cases before
adjourning at tbe end of May until'
next October.
