SENATOR ALDRICH TELLS HIS STORY

Denies Much that Edward Hines Testified to. PRESIDENT DIO NOT INTERFERE % Rhode Island Man States that No One Had Authority to Declare °resident’s Preference for Any Candidate. ■. . ' i Wasntngton, July 21—The attitude of President Taft toward the deadlock in the Illinois legislature from January to May, 1909, which resulted in the election of William Lorimer as United States senator from Illinois, was explained by former Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, in testifying before the Lorimer investigating committee. Mr. Aldrich made .it plain that Mr. Taft declined to lend his assistance to any of the men whose names were suggested as prospective candidates. Senator Aldrich’s testimony contradicted in several important particulars that of Edward Hines, who said on the witness stand several weekago that President Taft and Senator Aldrich authorized him to carry a message to Governor Deneen of Illinois that the administration looked with favor upon the election of Lorimer. Aldrich declared this statement was not true, and that Mr. Hines was not authorized to carry any political message to Springfield on the senatorship Senator Aldrich said he advised Mr. Hines that the president favored the election of a good Republican, but would not aid the candidacy of any one. Early in the senatorial fight, Mr. Aldrich testified, President Taft expressed a personal preference for the re-electicn of Senator Albert J Hopkins, because lie had received the largest vote in the primaries in Illinois. Later Mr. Taft expressed the opinion, according to Senator Aldrich, that the candidacy of Congressman Henry S. Boutelle, now minister to Switzerland, would be acceptable to him. Then, when it was reported from Illinois that Lorimer was the only candidate who could be elected, Mr. Aldrich continued, the president told him that the election of Lorimer to the United States senate would not be “objectionable,” although he would not assist in his election Mr. Aldrich said he personally was favorable to the election of Lorimer, as he regarded him as a “good Republican.” Senator Aldrich denied that he authorized Mr Hines to carry any political message from Washington to Springfield regarding the alleged friendly attitude of the administration toward candidacy, or expected Mr. Hines to use his influence to have Governor Deneen assist in Lorimer’s election.

Mr. Aldrich explained that he had authorized Hines to refer any one to him who wished authoriative information as to the attitude of President Taft toward the senatorial fight. Mr. Aldrich said that Hines came to him and asked him to find out the president’s attitude on several occasions. Mr. Aldrich also denied that he told Hines that Senator Lorimer’s vote would be needed in the senate to pass the Payne-Aldrich bill, which was pending at that time. At the afternoon session the crossexamination of Mr. Wiehe was devoted principally to the whereabouts and activities of Robert J. Shields, an insurance man of Duluth. Wiehe did not know where Shields now is. From questions asked him by Chairman Dillingham and other members of the committee, it is apparent that the process servers of the committee have failed to find Shields at his home in Duluth

Indications of the scope outlined for the investigation of Senator Lorimer’s election and the Illinois Legislature became known when it leaked out that the senate committee proposes to go into the fish scandal and the furniture deal in which certain Illinois soions were involved. The latter w il take the United States senators fairly into the activities of the legislature. Until now it was not expected that the inquiry would extend to any such limits, even though it "’•eady has gone more into detail tud.ii any prior committee. At Cincinnati, Ohio, the quick ration by the police averted what gave prepiise of being a lynching in the center of the city, when the officers captured Charles Lawrence, a negro, from an enraged crowd at Vine street and Opera place. Lawrence accosted Miss Belle Daugherty and dragged her into an alley. Bystanders rescued the girl, whose cries attracted several hundred people. The negro was captured and almost beaten to death before the officers could get him. He is in a critical condition. -

Donald M. Frame, clerk of the cigar stand in the Union League club in Chicago, corroborated the testimony of Herman H. Heittler, the Chicago lumberman, who told the committee that Edward Hines on May 26, 1909, the day on which Senator Lorimer was elected, boasted at the cigar stand in the club of having personally brought about the election of Lorimer. Mr. F:ame said he heard Mr. Hines say to Mr. Heittler. “I elected Lorimer.” John Carson, special counsel for the Alaska syndicate and author of the letter to Captain D. H. Jarvis regarding the Morrisey account, Which was included in the charges made by Delegate Wickersham against Attorney General Wickersham, says the alleged “Dick to Dick” letter which Miss Abbott asserts she discovered in the interior department record, is “rankest nonsense.”

Near Hammond, Ind., Cecil Hancock, twelve, who lives on his father’s farm in Jasper county, Indiana, was presented with a $2,000 touring car by an exasperated New York transcontinental automobile tourist, who met with an accident near Hancock farm. The tourist refused to give his name, but the automobile had a New York license number. State’s Attorney John E. Wayman of Chicago, admitting that he had been gicssly imposed upon by Frank Pardee, an ex-convict, dropped the murder charge against Simon O’Donnell, president of the Chicago Building Trades council, and Thomas Kearney and James Garvin.

EBERLE CLAIMS HIS FLEET WINS

Second Big Sham Battle Is Fought at Night. WEATHER CONDITIONS IDEAL Engagement Starts with Theoretical Destruction of Scout Cruiser— Main Fighting Occurs Off Gay Head. Newport, R. 1., July 21. Another claim of victory over the battleehip fleet Is made by Commander Edward W. Eberle, commanding officer of the defending fleet in the naval war game. Commander Eberle returned here on his flagship Dixie with the torpedo boats and submarines. The conditions for the battle were mueh better than on the night previous. There was no moon until very late, the sea was moderately rough, with a fresh breeze from the south. Commander Eberle had charge of the defense, and in view of the fact that the flagship Connecticut was out of the game Rear Admiral Aaron Ward directed the attacking fleet from the battleship Missouri. The hostilities opened shortly after 10 p. m., and the battle was not called off until 1 a. m. Commander Eberle had thrown out his defending line of ships along the coast and the first sign of attacking was when the destroyer Lamson, commanded by Lieutenant Commander John'* M. I.uby,! picked up one of the scout cruisers, and theoretically destroyed her about thirty-fivOThiles to the south of Block I Island.

The battle started in earnest off Gay Head, where the ilne of destroyers closed in on the battleships. The cruiser Dixie was about five miles in the lead es the “blue - ’ fleet, and is s prosed to have thrown overboard; naval contact mines. At a signal the destroyers Preston, Burrows and Smith advanced, and are supposed to have torpedoed three of the advancing battleships. The submarines were in the same vicinity and the Narwhal, Lieutenant Chester W. Nimitz commanding, is said to have sent a terpedo into the vital parts of the battleship Michigan. The Salmon was also close in, with Ensign Warden G. Child in command, and launched a torpedo into one of the big ships. It was now about 1 o’clock, and the battle was called off. The battleships threw on their searchlights, and took up an anchorage about ten miles to the west of Marthas Vineyard. Commander Eberle signalled his fleet and a start was made for Narragansett Bay a little later.

WEATHER FORECAST Illinois and Indiana—Fair today, except showers in extreme southern portions; fair tomorrow; moderate westerly winds. Wisconsin—Fair today and tomorrow; moderate westerly winds.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

INDIANAPOLIS—The local employment bureau of the Children’s Aid association has learned the history of a boy’s stay of fifteen months in Indianapolis, and it is believed to be typical of tl.e experiences of a large class of boys who came to the city in search of work. The boy was sixteen in May. During his stay he has worked at eight different factories and at all but two he worked ten hours a day. In one he worked eight hours and in another he worked thirteen and one-half. It is believed by the head of the employment bureau that the child labor law passed at the recent session of the state legislature will put a stop to the employment of boys for such long hours. The association has been investigating the case of this lad for two weeks, and has found that his record is the best. A place in the country has been found for him and when fall comes be will be sent to the Broad Ripple High School.
