The trip from Lincoln was made In record
time without a stop. At the Burlington
South Omaha station the party was met
by Everett Buckingham. T. B. McFherson
and a committee from the stock yards and
the Stock exchange with automobiles for

made to the hog killing department of the
t'udalvy Packing company. From there
the party was taken In automobiles again
to tho cattle department of the Armour
plant, through the pork packing rooms, the
brine rooms and then to the Swift plant.
At the Stock exchange luncheon was to be
served at 12 o'clock, but tho curiosity of
the legislators In the killing departments
of the packing houses was too great to be
easily satisfied and more time was spent
there and In the yards than had been
planned for. At the luncheon the visitors
were welcomed royally as friends of South
Omaha and Omaha and of the live stock
Industry. T. B. McPherson acted as toast
master. Speaker Kubl was the first man to be
Introduced and , he congratulated South
Omaha and the Live Stock exchange on
the Industry and Its wonderful develop
ment. Senator John II. Morehead. presi
dent pro tern of the senate, spoke along the
same lines and the concluding address was
made by Governor Aldrich.
A Id rich Felicitates Month Omaha.
"I am proud to say," said Governor Al
drich, "that the finished products of the
agricultural resources of the country are
not more scientifically prepared for our
consumption anywhere In the' world than
here In South. Omaha, Neb. It as much
energy and push and power were devoted
. to the state government as In devoted to
this great Industry It Is bard to suy how
far we would go. We all have the same
Interests; we all are the same people and
we want to stand by each other. I want
to counsel the legislature never to do any
thing unjust to this great enterprise or to
any other. We are proud of It and want
to sea It prosper. You seem to have done
all these wonderful things without ex
hausting your powers and your capabili
ties. 1 wonder what you would do if you
exerted yourselves."
After the luncheon at the Stock Yards
exchange the party was taken In automo
biles again around the South Omaha boule
vard to Fortieth and Burt and back by
Farnam street to the business section of
the city. The program at the Land show

wonders of this state and the west.

spend the money appropriated for ad

DANVILLE, 111.. Jan. 24 Foreman Isaac
Woodyard of the Vermillion county grand
Jury appeared before Circuit Judge K. 11.
E. Klmbrough as soon as the latter opened
court today and asked the court to cans.
Sheriff John T. Shepard to explain whv
he did not serve subpoenaea given him by
the grand Jury. Woodyard also asked that
a deputy sheriff other than Fred ("lr.")
Vulrlch be appointed to guard the grand
Jury room.
The request . of Foreman Woodyard
Paused a sensation here, Inasmuch a
Sheriff Shepard was mentioned In the first
reports, which later were denied, as hav
ing admitted buying votes. It was for
nlm, according to the stories, that City At
torney Frank W. Jones Is alleged to have
bought votes, as related to the grand Jury
yesterday by newspaper men.
Vutrlch, the deputy, was one of Sheriff
Shepard's chief henchmen In the last elec
tion and preceding primary.
A rumor was circulated early today that
Mr. Woodyard, who has appeared from
tne very first as the central figure of the
Investigation, and who has been looked to
by the element here which desires a thor
ough search, as the one man of the county
who would satlBfy all demands for thor
oughness, was dissatisfied with the way
witnesses were being questioned before the
grind Jury, and that he would ask that
either an assistant to State's Attorney
John H. Lewman or a special assistant
state's attorney be named to conduct the
examination.
Attitude of Proserator.
States Attorney lawman has not claimed
at any time to be the moving factor In the
Investigation, but has refused to announce
any plans or commit himself In any way
except to say that he was only the servant
of the grand Jury and would awatt the
commands of that body.
Among those for whom subpoenas had
been Issued for appearance today were
City Attorney Jones, whose conversation
with newspaper men and the subsequent
assertions and denials as to Its nature
brought the matter to a crisis: K. X.
Iesure, Speaker Cannon's son-in-law, and
Peter Sanlchas, the Greek policeman, whom
Frankenberger, the newspaper man, ac
cused of having sought to get the news

Depew Opposes
WASHINGTON'. Jan. :'t-Opposition to
the resolution now pending In the senate
calling for the popular election of Its mem
bers was voiced today by Senator Deew
of New York. While opostng the propo
sition, he offered an amendment which
would entitle all of the male citizens of the
United States to cast their ballots In such
elections.
To the New York senator the proposed
amendment as reported from the Judiciary
committee seemed but an effort to permit
the states to disfranchise large classes of
their electors.
"Instead of providing that senator shall
be elected by the people of the several
states," said the senator, "It virtually
given the people the right to elect senators
by Impairing the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendment to the constitution which were
Intended to secure the elective franchise to
all citizens of the I nlted Mates.
Mr. Depew endeavored to show several
objections which would arise In putting the
propositions Into practical effect. He dealt
uxn the advantage claimed to lie In the
experience that a senator gains through
long retention of hi seat. He could fore
see naught save a rapid succession In of-

The delegates attending the meeting
