A special grand jury having for Its primary object the investigation of the startling and as tounding charges made by Charles A, White, democratic member ' of the state's legislature in 1909, that he re ceived $1,000 for voting for William Lorimer - for United States senator, was sworn in today. Other matters of less importance were given the right of way to be heard first as the prosecutor intends going into the matter thoroughly. Lee O'Neill Browne, leader of the democratic wing of the state legislature and Senator Lorimer are in. Chicago awaiting word from the criminal court building where the investigation is being made. White, the accuser and self-confessed bribe-taker appeared at the grand jury rooms early in the day. He walked about the building, but declined to be Interviewed. He was the first witness. . 1 8oions Wandering In. Other down-state legislators who have been named by White will be called ' before the grand jury to tell what they know of the election of Senator Lorimer. ' While-the Cook county grand jury is busying itself here states attorney Burke of Sangamon county, in which the state .capital, Springfield, is locat ed, also, bad grand. Jurjc sworn in. He-StiTes rTwimiSiS WW leged bribe-giving . : and taking next week . and that notwithstanding the confession of White he will allow no immunity to go out towards the sen' ator's accuser. One thing is certain." There will be no special session of the . legislature at this time. After a conference be tween Gov. Deneen and Attorney Gen eral Stead, it was announced such a move would not be proper at this stage of the Inquiry. . Gov. Deneen Interested. Governor Deneen is known to be mightily Interested in the outcome of this matter and according to one newspaper gave his stamp of approval to the first story of - the Scandal just a short time before It went .to the composing room.

He in him and the banks. "This attack is entirely a move to ruin tne banks he said with emphasis. "But they will open about May th In spite of everything. I have been told tliat the publishers of the Tribune has said the banks would nev er open. . J nave oeen maiung some progress for twenty years in spite of the Tribune's opposition and I guess I f can continue to . do so. From inI quirles made I know the attack was purposely made at about the time the banks were to open. The senator said that he had a let ter- from Washington which he receiv ed from White and which, in nls opinion, proves the accuser to be mentalweak; Members of the legislature who cast their vote for Lorimer are coming to the front denying ; White's charges and branding them as being malicious and without foundation.'

Distribution of the reward offered by the county for the discovery, arrest and conviction of the ' murderer of Mrs. Frank Allison, will probably be made next Saturday, at the meeting of the county commissioners.

American News Service) London, May 2- Commander Robert E. Peary was hailed today by representative British scientists as the discov erer of the north pole. This nation is the first other than the explorer's own to accord him full honors. The fact that the United States congress had failed' to reward Peary and that his claims have even been disputed in official debate there is disregarded here. From the first 'Peary has held the faith of British scientists and while ridicule ? of Dr. ; Frederick A.
