in connection with the contest which Edward Simon, democrat, is making to oust Edward Wickey, republican, who defeated him for representative in Lake county. Although Wickey had a plurality of something like 1,300 over Simon, yet Simon is claiming that the result was obtained by fraud. lie says several hundred foreigners in Lake ccr ' were naturalized just a short tin: -ore the election and that many of them were voted who had no right to vote. He charges that hundreds of them gave false information

as to their length of residence in this country and that they were not entitled to naturalization. The democratic state candidates who were defeated at the election make the same charge, so they and Simon sent Peter J. Lyons, an attorney of Hammond, to New York city to investigate. Lyons took with him a list of the foreigners who were naturalized and the affidavits they made, to ascertain from the immigration records if they arrived from the old country at the time they stated. Lyons is back. He is here today trying to figure out just what happened to him in New York. He says that when he went to the Immigration office in New York and asked for the information the officials agreed to give it to him. He says they prepared from the records a full account of all the foreigners whose names were on his list and who appeared on their

books. But he says that more than half of those whose names he had were not on the books of the immigration

office, showing, he says, that they made false affidavits when they applied for naturalization papers. Lyons "Up Against It." But Iyons says that when he asked the immigration officer to furnish him

with this information for use in ithe Simon-Wickey contest he refused. Ly-

ons says the official took all of his papers and said that he would send j them to the Department of Commerce ! and Labor at Washington. But according Ko Lyons the official did not ! tell him why he would send them to J Washington. So Lyons returned home without even the lists of names that he took with him to New York. He ; made a water haul. Now Simon and j the rest of the Democratic candidates ! are trying to get the papers back ! from the Department of Commerce and Labor, but they have not yet succeeded. As it stands now the joke seems Ho be on Lyons. The Demo j cratic candidates say it cost them j $500 to get the list of names and in- . formation off the books at Hammond and to send Lyons to New York, and they are wondering how they are going to get their money's worth since the immigration official kept all the papers. The Department of Commerce and Labor says Lyons did not tell what he : wished the information for that he I was after in New York, but he says

he made it clear Ho the official at that port. So there you are. Kern Makes Gain. John W. Kern has made a big gain In the fight for the Senatorship by landing the vote of Representative Tomlinson, of Shelby county. Tomlinson has come out in a card stating that he will vote for Kern. This is a loss for L. Ert Slack and is considered

! a blow at his chances, because Shel

by county is one of the counties that he represented in the Senate. His district was composed of Johnson and Shelby, and it was considered certain that he would be able to hold the votes of those two counties. Shelby county is In the Sixth district, however while Johnson, in which Slack lives, is in the Fourth.

As the result of a shock sustained through falling into a copper of boiling water, a boy named George Herbert Foster, aged eleven, living at Spalding, who was practically dumb, has recovered his power of speech.

whom the French government distributed the same, and that there was no

syndicate.

"To the best of the World's know

ledge and belief, each and all of these

statements made by Mr. Roosevelt are

untrue."

Accuses Roosevelt and Root. As to the detailed distribution of

the Panama loot only one man knows it all. And that man is William Nelson Cromwell. The two men who were most in Mr. Cromwell's confidence are Theodore Roosevelt and Elihu Root.

It was they who aided Mr. Cromwell

in consummating the Panama revolu

tion, arranged the terms of the pur

chase of the Panama canal, made the agreement to pay $40,000,000 on the

canal properties and an additional

10,000,000 for a manufactured Pana

ma republic, every jtenny of both of which sums was paid by check on the

United States treasury to J. P. Mor

gan & Co. not to the French govern

ment, as Mr. Roosevelt says, but to

P. Morgan & Co." The World then reviews the ac

counts of the investigation conducted

by the senate committee in February, 1906. It gives particular reference to the part Cromwell played in that Investigation, alleging that he concealed all facts that the committee sought to

unearth. It also quotes from news articles printed at the time alleging that

Cromwell and J. I'. Morgan formed

the Inter Oceanic Canal company.

bought the majority of stock in the old Panama company for $5,000.00Q, and

practically dictated the purchase by the United States government for $40,-

NO SELECTION MADE.

Bostou. Mass., Dec, a The Panama Canal steal story, for the publication of which the Indianapolis News was taken to task by President Roosevelt,; was submitted to the democratic na-' tional committee immediately after tb Chicago convention and after It had been investigated by a subcommittee of the advisory committee was refused because of the political exigencies and because it was believed it would enot eoinpllsh the purpose for which It was submitted. The matter was collected by a number of New York men. one of whom was Col. Alexander S. Bacon. They took the matter up with Chairman Mack, who in turn referred it to th tuboommittee composed of Senator

Culberson, cx-Mayor.McGuire of Syracuse, N. Y., and Josiah Qulncy of Massachusetts.

Mr. Quincy tonight admitted he had

been a member of the committee.

"We thoroughly investigated the

story,' he said. "I may say we had

it under consideration for several weeks and studied its every angle before we decided it was a matter that at that time was not of any political use. " You may also say it was not out of consideration for the feelings of th Washington administration any mot than it was for lack of proof-alleg? d ?iroof. mind you. for I want not to Join he Annanias club that kept us from usiug the matter."
