For the Children

Three Children of the King of Spain.

Photo by American Press Association. When the royal children of Spain go abroad they are usually accompanied by a squad of cavalry, ostensibly to guard against possible dangers, but really as an escort befitting their exalted rank. Young folks in tbiscouhtry would doubtless enjoy the sight of gayly uniformed soldiers galloping beside their carriage, but the only danger would be a possible runaway of the horses. So. too, in the case of the royal Spanish babies. They have nothing to fear in the way of violence except what might result from such i an accident. In the picture are portrayed three children of King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, who is an Englishwoman. On the right is Prince heir to the throne of Spain, now four years old. Next to him is Prince Jaime, not quite three. In the nurse's arms is Princess Beatrice, who was born July 21, 1909.

Calls Confederacy “Infamous;” Bitter Rebuke by Williams. Washington, July 14.—A characterization of the confederacy as an “infamous cause,” by Senator Heyburn of Idaho, brought from Senator Williams of Mississippi a bitter rebuke in the senate. “But for the parliamentary rules that restrain me,” declared Mr. Williams, “I would have a few words to say about the kind of human being in whose heart such thoughts can exist.” Senator Williams had asked to have “Jim” Jones, the eighty-two year old negro who was Jefferson Davis’ bodyguard, and in whose custody the seal of the confederacy was intrusted, retained on the senate pay roll as a laborer. Senator Heyburn acquiesced in the retention of the negro for his service formerly given to the senate, “but not because of loyalty to the glory of an infamous cause.”

CHAS. S. DENEEN BEFORE PROBERS

Tells the Lorimer Investigators about Illinois Politics. WHAT “HOLY ALLIANCE” WAS Governor Says He Has Heard of “Jackpot Fund” at Springfield Since 1897 —Another Version of Hines’ Telephone Conversation. JVashington, July 14.—The troubled course of Illinois politics'during the senatorial deadlock which ended in the election of William. Lorimer as United States senator was described before the Lorimer investigating committee by Charles S. Deneen, governor of Illinois.

Governor Deneen told how efforts had been made by interests opposed to him to persuade him to become a candidate for senator with a view of eliminating him from the governorship. Senator Lorimer suggested that he (Deneen) -become a candidate and promised him the support of Democratic senators if Deneen would agree to make the race. Governor Deneen said he regarded Lorimer as representing the interests who had opposed his nomination and election as governor. In his opinion the contes which had been filed by the defeated Democratic candidate for governor following the election, had been used to force him into the senatorial fight. Lorimer, according to Deneen, was the controlling force in Illinois politics by virtue of his dominating power over Speaker Shuttle® and the coalition of Democrats and Republicans which elected the speaker By reason of this control, Mr. Lorimer, the witness said, was in a position to declare the governorship vacant had he so desired. Governor Deneen declared that he declined to become a candidate for the senatorship because he had fostered the direct primary law under which the people of Illinois had declared in favor of the re-election of Former Senator Albert J. Hopkins arid he thought he ought to stand by the choice of the people under this law. This Lorimer coalition of Democrats and Republicans in Illinois politics, the governor said, was known as the “holy alliance,” while later they became known as the ‘“Black Hand.” Governor Deneen said that his followers were known as the “Band of Hope.” The liquor people, the railroads, the gas and electric light companies were the interests named by Deneen as opposing him. Governor Deneen denied that he had aided in Lorimer’s election. He had heard of a “jackpot fund” at Springfield since 1897. The probable contributors to this fund, he said, were the railroad companies, the gas and electric light companies, the stock yards and elevator companies, and the Pullman company. Governor Deneen emphatically denied the testimony of Edward Hines, president of the Edward Hines Lumber company of Chicago, in regard to h’s telephone conversation with Governor Deneen from Chicago. Governor Deneen said that Mr. Hines called him up from a Chicago bank and asked him if hd had received a message from President Taft asking him to use his influence toward the election of Mr. Lorimer. “I told Mr. Hines," said Governor Deneen, “that I had received no such message and asked him how the message was to come to me. Mr. Hines replied that it was from Senator Aidrich and would be delivered to me through George Reynolds, president of the Continental Commercial National Bank of Chicago. Mr. Reynolds never delivered such a message to me.”
