cant as It Indicates Change of Feeling in the First District. Palladium Special Indlenspolis, Ind., Sept. 12. Col. T. R. Is not llkaly to lift the latch of Evansvtlle this campaign, no matter bow temptingly the string mar bo bung. Tho effort of Col. Frank B. Posey to set the redoubtable ex-pres ident Into tbe Flrat district, surpris ing as It mar appear In the light of former sentiments expressed by the congressional candidate, teems foredoomed to failure. It is beliered to be a physical Impossoblllty for Colonel Roosevelt to swing down Into the southwestern corner of the state after ho hits Indianapolis. October IS. He will arlre here from Peoria, 111., will make a day of It In the capital, and will then proceed eastward. Tho significance of Colonel Posey's effort, howover, la striking. In that It Indicates an entire change of feeling In tho notoriously stand-pat First district where nestles the nest of James Hemenway. At the time of Colonel Posep's nomination he was guarded la his statements about insurgency. Afraldof Insurgents. Ho was afraid of Insurgent speakers being sent Into tho district, and intimated the "keep off" policy would be heat to Insure his election. Ho drew tho lino on La Fbllette, although he said ho would not object If others were to take up his cause voluntarily. His rrtsent plea to Eoosevelt to lire up for -y i tva. tttsr of chagrin to zzzjzzn t-u la eye-opener as CV aentiaont of tho district whi heretofore has beta considered for the old guard, then, now and forever. However, ft may not bo an overwhelming surprise to tho ex-senator, who was fer-ctsatsd enough In his O. C of the district platform to let it go through with a notable concession In any way cf an endorsement of Senator Albert J. Esmtts. ' Thirty Days' Fell. lfneh more Importance than usual C1 attach to the thlrty-daya' poll of tho state this year on both sides. Tbe ttdays poll, by the first reports, slm ply shows wives know lost than ever a&sst their husband's political Hottest, for which tho era of progressive politics has come to time when the male half of tho family Is weighing things much more carefully than before. He Is no longer a Republican or a Democrat, simply because he used to be. He Is away at work when the petMaktra call and "the missus' can only place him la a general way. , By October S. when the last poll starts, It Is believed he wUl have talked things over and possibly will have said some things at the table. It la not left for a few husbands to make np their own minds. Take the Instance of the sturdy, bare-armed ma tron In the Fifth ward, Indianapolis, who Informed the poll-taker her hus band would vote for the men who will elect Beverldge, , or else he'd quit "satin' around here." It was Will Coleman, secretary of the Marlon county committee, who encountered this, and he went on with a light heart. Five anti-Kern Democrats were dis covered In tbe Sixth ward, Indianapolia. One Democrat stated five of his neighbors had already offered conveyances to get out a big vote. He was asked If they were Democrats and replied r "Call them what you please, hot they are getting out the vote for - Eeveridge."

Mystery today surrounds the steps which will be taken by the C hauler family to retain for Robert Winthrop Chanler the fortune which ho Is reported to have lost to his beautiful song bird bride, Lina CavaUerl. -Sheriff Bob,-, the artisthusband' in the International nuptial and financial Imbroglio, had disappeared today while the plans of bis lawyers and of the .other members of bis family were kept hidden. . Cables came from Paris telling of tho puullng attitude maintained by Cavalier!. While she, denies that misunderstanding exists between herself and her husband, yet she Is Invariably quoted as speaking of Chanler in a manner flippant and apparently contemptuous. . Reading between the lines It seems certain to those Interested In the af fair both In Paris and in this city that tho publication of the reports of the case are true. The songstress who is still suffering from the effects of her recent operation, told 4 In a smiling manner today that she would soon be In the United States although she said she. could not live here.'

This Week Congressional In

vestigation of the Charges Against Lorimer Are to Be Investigated. 1 NATIONAL INTEREST SHOWN IN THE CASE Exposure of Alleged Bribing of Legislature Members, Made a Few Months Ago, Caused Sensation. Chicago, 111., Sept 12. The third sensational congressional " Investiga tion authorized at the last session of congress will begin on September 15, when the senate committee on privileges and elections, of which Senator Burrows, of Michigan, is chairman, will meet in this city for the purpose of Investigating the wholesale bribery charges in connection with the election of Senator William Lorimer. of Illinois, to the United States senate. The Ballinger-Plnchot Investigation and the Gore Inquiry into the sale of Indian lands In Oklohoma, have both occupied the attention of congressional committees, and have developed some sensational . testimony. It Is not be lieved, however, that the Lorimer in quiry will be devoid of sensations. The fact that Lee O'Neil Browne. Democratic leader In the Illinois legis lature Is to be tried again with bribing members of the legislature to vote for Lorimer has Intensified the Inter est In the investigation. This Is Browne's third trial, the jury having failed to agree in the first and second trials. Caused a Sensation. Charges that Senator William Lori mer, of Illinois, better known as tne Blonde Boss. had been elected to the United States senate through the wholesale bribery and corruption, of Illinois state senators And representa tives, were first flung to the world on Juno 30. Since then there have followed wholesale Indictments of men who are alleged to have paid the bribe money In he interests of Senator oLrlmer. of men who accepted It . and of the decision of tho United States sen ate to. Investigate tho charges thor oughly to determine If the junior sena tor from Illinois should be allowed o longer grace that august body with bis presence, s . The election of William Lorimer to the United States senate was a matter of speculative gossip for months be fore Representative Charles A. White, of 8t Clair county, I1L, began hawking his story of how he had been bribed to vote for Lorimer. among the newspa pers and magazines. Lorimer was elected " after . the Illinois senatorial contest had been in a hopeless dead lock for days with the legislators de termined not to elect Albert J. Hop kins to another term In the United States senate. . , Finally, Lorimer stepped in on the scene, after Governor Deneen had re fused to be a candidate, and was elected over Hopkins by the aid of votes recruited from the ranks of the Demo crats. ' " "Confession" by White. After Lorimer had taken his seat In Washington and everything appeared to have settled back to a normal calm, came . the "confession' of . Represen tative Charles A. White. , White plunged Into his story with vengance and within a few weeks al most every politician In Illinois' was mixed up In : the bribery scandal In some way or other. , The Democratic politicians throughout the state were hit either by Innuendo or by direct ac cusation on the part of men who ad mitted they had been bribed to vote for Lorimer. According to the stories told by those who had been drawn into grand jury nets, the price paid for Lorimer votes ran from $1,000 to $2,500. This last amount was paid to State Senator Holtslaw. banker and prominent mem ber of the Baptist church In his home town. By his own confession, received $2,500 for voting for Lorimer and he declared that the "money had been paid to him In Chicago by State Senator John Broderick. a west side saloon keeper of Chicago, and a man who had known Lorimer intimately for years. The -first charges made by White came after he had written letters to Senator Lorimer In Washington, -Inti mating that he wanted money for sev eral purposes and also that he Intend ed publishing - a book of his exper iences In tbe Illinois legislature. It appears also from things which developed afterwards In the Investigation. that - Representative Leo O'Neil Browne, minority leader In tho Illinois lower house and a man known, to bo friendly to Lorimer "Interests" tried to get White a position through Lori mer. . ' Others "Confessed." r . Then came the charge on the heels of this that Lee O'Neil Browse was the chief briber tn tho legislature and that ho had bribed White to vote for Lorimer by paying him $1,000. This "conLfesskm' on White's part led to confes-

CARDINAL MUCH PLEASED POPE'S LEGAJE DEEPLY AFFECT ED BY THE ATTESTATIONS OF LOYALTY AND ' DEVOTION -TO ROMAN CHURCH. ' .(American News Service.). Montreal, Sept. 12.

' "I send my greetings to the people of the United States." said he. "I have been particularly delighted at the great numbers which came to this city from the United States - for the ' congress which has Just closed. It is particularly gratifying to find the cordial attitude - of friendship on the part of those who- are not of our faith. The Holy Father, will be pleased to learn of the success of the congress. ; I am anticipating a delightful trip into the United States." , AM Was Harmonious. Clerics of high orders today expressed great pleasure at the manner.. In which the congress has been carried out. There -Was no . single ; untoward Incident during the entire session. The first Eucharlstlc congress ever held in America was so successful, in fact, that Cardinal Gibbons and other churchmen of high rank have renewed their hopes of a congress being held In the United States at the first available opportunity. Tho next, congress win be held in Seville, Spain, In 1911; in 1912 at .Vienna; In 1913 In Lyons, France, and In 1914 possibly In the United States. It is a notable fact, greatly commented on here today, that the administration officers selected those countries for the ensuing meet ings of the congress where the Church of .Rome has been meeting with difficulties.

DAMAGES WANTED FROM THIS CITY $500 Asked Because Hcrss Stumbled Over Rope and . Hurt Two People. INQUIRY WILL BE MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER CITY OR THE RAILROAD PANY WA8 RESPON8IS1.E THE ACCIDENT, r C THE Suit for $500 damages, alleged to have been Incurred when a horse and buggy became entangled in a rope stretched across West . Second street near the Chicago division of tho Penn sylvania railroad,' has been lied with the board of works. The outtt was driven by Albertus Hawkins of North H street, and when the accident oc curred:1 the. occupants of the rig were thrown out, Mrs.7 Hawkins and Clarence Hawkins, the two-year-old son, it is alleged being seriously injured. It happened September 17, 1909. The claim was first filed with the democratic .board, . October 13, 1909, but no record of any action taken by that body can be found. ' The claim was received and placed on file by Clerk C. W. Merrill, but nothing else was done. . Gardner Investigates. i City Attorney , A. M. Gardner will Investigate the matter - to ' determine whether the city, contractor who was making West Second street when tho accident occurred, or the railroad company, left the rope v across tho street and is responsible for the accident. He thinks tho railroad company may be ' held, because it was building a viaduct over West Second street at tho time tho street was be ing built. Tho Improvement of tho street was not accepted from tho contractor by the board, of works until October 13. 1909, the same day the claim was filed. In this case the city attorney believes Trippeer A Sons, Pom, who made the street are liable under their bond. " Hwklna and his family drove un der the overhead ;: bridge and the horse became entangled in the rope which was stretched directly over tho roadway. It reared, throwing the occupants to tho ground. 'The harness and buggy were broken. VQ COMECCE Uotrku Kww Serrlee.) Vienna. , Sept. IX A naded by . I A.
