L0 RIMER'S ELECTION IS VOID Speaker Waye Trnsrser Rvldeare fa ftfcotv that Kery Dem ,rratle Vote Cast for tkleag Mai Wat t'orrapted. WASHINGTON. Feb. -A defense of Senator Cullom of Illinois formed the most striking part of an address msde In the senate today by Senator Theodore Burton of Ohio, In opposition to the report of the committee on privileges and elections by which Senator Lorlmer of Illinois was ex onerated from the charge of obtaining his seat by means of bribery. The reference to Senator Cullom. who is Mr. Lorlmer't colleague, waa called out by a statement made by Senator Bailey of Texas In the senate during the excite ment incident to the close of Senator Hoofa arraignment of Mr. Lorlmer last Friday. Speaking of the exlstence tor years of a "Jack pot" fund In connection with the sessions of the Illinois legisla ture, Mr. Bailey, who supports Mr. Lorl mer, said that the means used to elect Mr. Lorlmer were the tame as had been employed In the election of Mr. Cullom. Mr. Burton did not dwell long on the Texas senator's inferences. He said: "The senator from Texas, no doubt un wittingly, did an injustice to the senior senator from Illinois In some remarks last Friday, In averring that If Mr. Lorlmer't election It Invalid, so la that of the aenlor senator. One conclusive answer to any such groundless Inference It tha method of the election of Mr. Cullom. He was nominated at a primary by a majority of 60,000 votes, and It would be most unjust to him to compare the circumstances under which he was chosen with the corrupt and dishonest methods prevalent in the legit lature In 1909." Lorlmrr'a Klertlon Tainted. The Ohio senator discussed the allega tions against Senator Lorlmer largely on legal grounds. Without attempting to un ravel the testimony, he preceeded on the theory that certain facts had been proven and then undertook to ehow through prece dents established In the United States and Great Britain that the election by the Illinois legislature had been tainted and, therefore. Invalid. Among other points discussed was that as to whether the receipt of money after the casting of a vote constitutes bribery, and it waa held that it does. "If," taid the speaker, "those who received tuch money were free from corrupt Intent, they certainly would not have received it after the votee were cast. It la Impossible to separata the receipts of money after the election from other facts and circumstances in the conduct of these members which go to make up one dishonest transaction." Meeting the contention that the evidence given by bribe takers cannot be con sidered In connection with the case, the Ohio senator declared that no such rule lo law now prevails. "It belong! rather to a crude ttate of society," he pro ceeded. "To maintain it would mean that the most terlout offender! against the public must go unpunished. It Ignores the difference In the comparative guilt of those engaged In the tame unlawful enterprise. It regards the men guilty of a crime at absolutely an outcast and dis regards alike hit reformation and the wel fare of society. It closes the door of re pentence for the criminal, even for him who hat been misled by tha superior in fluence of others Into doing something agalntt which hla better judgment rebels." Mr. Burton did not accept the statement of Mr. Lorlmer't frlendt that If there bad been bribery, that gentleman had not authorised it Coatrol af Corrupt Ceterle. In another connection, ha said: "Who will assert, in the face of all the testimony of Mr. Browne's promisee of money, of hit control over thete membert, hit previous transactions, that hit action wat not corrupt or that Mr. Lorlmer did not share in that corruption? It la defi nitely conceded by the defendant! of Mr. Lorlmer that a etats of corruption waa rife In the IUinolt legislature. They ad mit that bribery was common and had been for a long time; but while conceding the rank corruption which prevailed. In which Browne and others of those who voted for Lorlmer wore prominent figures, they deny that thit applies to the sen atorial election. They aver that there may have been a 'Jack pot," but this does not affect, they maintain, the question at Issue. "In the first place, there It little or no tettlmony showing that legislation was prevented or promoted by the existence of this 'Jack pot.1 If there wat anything for which money wat paid. It waa for the election of a senator; and, again, how la It possible to separate the two. If there waa tuch a corrupt condition? Tha same actors In plots to defeat legislation were prominent In the senatorial election. Without their votee, Mr. Lorlmer could not have marshaled a majority. Every Hera of evidence goes to show that what ever corruption existed had exerted an In fluence In the aenatorial controversy more than anything else." Maajr Carrapt Votes. Summing up his conclusions, Mr. Burton found It "perfectly evident that fraud was so rampant and dishonesty so widespread that it is Impossible to separate the sound votes from the unsond votes. "When," he added, "there la undoubtabla proof, at here, that fraud and bribery have been resorted to, no one can derive from the cesspool of corruption any conclusion ex cept thai no election was had. Undoubted proof is available not only to show that a sufficient number of bribed persons cast their votes for Lorlmer to invalidate, his election, but also that on other grounds than this there was not a valid choice. There are strong arguments to sustain a presumption that not only seven, eight, nine or ten were corrupt, but that possi bly thirty cat their votes under the In fluence of bribery or dishonesty." loans; Is Aaalnst Lorlmer.

Attorney John S. Miller, for the packers, argued that Immunity granted the packers by Judge Humphrey prjvented any rrferencs to facts prior to It. The government contention is that wltle the "immunity bjih" iim wle out criminal liability of an offense, it does not remove the fact of It. "If this were not true." ssid Attorney James H.

Higher Prices on Shoes May Come from Fuss Tanners Refuse to Continue Five Per Cent Discount on Four-Month Pay ments by Shoemakers. CHICAGO, Feb. . A conference was held In Chicago which may prag a higher price for shoes, particularly of the rheaper grades. It was between th conference committees of the Tanners' National asso ciation and of the shoemakers' organisa tion. Recently In New fork the tanners an nounced that the sale terms which had ex isted for many years, whereby shoemakers got 6 per cent off on four-month payments, would be discontinued and a discount of 3 per cent for the same period would pre vail. The shoemakers, claiming this would cut their profits nearly In half, on the pre mise that the profit on a cheap shoe waa innlv S tn S eenta nalr. amivht a ronfer- . . en to re-esiaDttsn tne oia rate, out me leather makers refused. ' Notices were sent out today to shoemak ers to refuse to buy leather from those who would not tell at the old rata Cur tailment of output will be the first weapon used to force the old rate, said an official of the conference today. After that, If It falls, an application for federal action will be sought. It was taid, under the Sherman anti-trust law. The last and most formidable weapon the shoemakers claim to have. Is that of tariff free leather, which they claim they will bring about unless the leather makers yield. Another meeting will be held In New York soon at which a last effort will be made to have the old discount rate restored.

SAYS NATION SHOULD CONTROL Proposed Plaa, lie Tklaks, Woald Take the tiOTernmrat Bark to Tsrsi.ll of Time of the Confederation. WASHINGTON, Feb. . Resistance to the uttermost to the attempts to transfer from congress to the various state legis latures the control of tho time and man ner of election of Cnlled States senators, as proposed by the resolution providing for their election l.y direct vote of the people, was advised by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. In a speech In the senate todsy. Mr. Lodge wss speaking In opposition to the proposed new amendment to the constitution as a whole, but he found an especial mark In the portion placing the direct management of the detail of sen atorial elections In the various stato legis latures. Declaring that the proposed change In that respect "strikes at the very founda tion of the national aovernment." Mr. Lodge aald that the plan violates the plans of the framers of the constitution. "It Is now proposed," continued Mr. Lodge, "to put the United States govern ment, so far as the election of senator! Is conoerned, at the mercy of the states. It It proposed to take from the United States any right to protect Its own cltlxens In the exercise of their rights, no matter how great the need might be for tuch protec tion. If this amendment should become a law, twenty-three states. Including per haps only a r.nnorlty of the population. could at any moment arrest the movement of the government and stop all ltt opera tions. Hetrorressloa and Reaction. The senator denounced at a "mockeryy" the "pretense" that the proposed legisla tion It progression. Not only was It a mockery, but It was "retogresslon and re action of an extreme kind." "If adopted." he went on, "It would carry out the govern ment back to the controversies and atrug glet out which the constitution waa born and which beset and endangered the In fancy of the United States." Enlarging upon the danger of the pro posed change, Mr. Lodge said: "Self pre servation Is the first law of governments, st It Is of nature, and it teema to me that no matter how we may decide the question of methods by which aenatora should be elected, the reservation of the' power of the United States to controll those elections. If need be. Is essential to the government's safe and continued ex istence. Any attempt 6f this tort to down or weaken the authority of the United Statea ought to be resisted to the last. It is amazing that it should be suggested at a time like this, when the government of the United States it of necessity taking up new duties and new obligations as de manded by the condltiona of the time; at a moment when the national government requires all Its strength. And yet It It proposed here to weaken It, to take from it the one power which this time of stress that such a proposition as this would be accepted by congress. I cannot believe that the country would tolerate it if It were once understood. Too much would have to be sacrificed to preserve the union and to preserve the national government to permit any tampering with those clauses which guard ltt very life." New Prophets Criticised. The senator reiterated hit opposition to the election of aenatora by the people, and contended for the maintenance of the con stitution In lu Integrity, "it hat," ha laid, "shown itself capable of adaptation to the new demands, as it baa adapted Itself to these paat and I have hoped and believed that the new pollciea and the necessity reforms which the people desire could all be brought about, as they have htterto been accomplished under the con stitution. But new prophets have- arisen which are not content with the reforms which have been and which will be ef fected by law, and they demand that the conttlutlon shall be changed, ltt tuccest In the paat which hat challenged the ad miration of the world, la not to be con sidered aa any plea in ita behalf." That there It a menace of the control of the ttate legislature by corrupt meant Mr. Lodge denied. "Any danger of the moneyed Interests getting partial control of the government or acquiring undue podltlcal Influence has been brought to an end In the last ten years," he said. "Just now the financial business, and corporate Interests of the country teem far more concerned In trying to find out whether they are to be allowed to live and breathe than In aeektng to control anybody in politic! or out of politics." Incidentally the speaker paid bis respects to the portion of the Arizona constitution providing for tha "recall of Judges," which he pronounced a flagrant Interference with the liberty of the bench. His pronounce ment on this subject indicated an Inten tion to oppoae the acceptance of the docu ment by congress. Closing his address -with an appeal for the preservation of the constitution, Mr. Lodge said: "We shall do well to hestltate before we mar a constitution crowned by the tri umphs of a century and to which the sad word "failure" it ttlll a stranger."

SAYS MINISTRY NEEDS MEN Indicates Demand of Field, Both Here aad Abroad tnfloence of the Church In Home Is Weakened. The value of laymen working the church and the need of parents of today bringing up their children with more love for religion and the church was the aermon preached by Blfhop Frank Millsraugh of Kansas at Trinity cathedral Sunday morn ing. Bishop MillHpaugh took for his text the twelfth verse of the fourth chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Hebrews; "For the work of Qod Is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of tho Joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." "The work of God s church Is the work of laymen as well as the clergy," declared Bishop Mlllnpaugh, "and should be encour aged and promoted, for In work for the church laymen are only doing their part In Christian ministry. Many laymen con sider the paying of church dues the extent of their obligations, but the true Christian Is helping others through life. "Laymen's work should begin at home. Of late years It Is charged, and with truth, that the love of religion In the home Is beginning to decay, amusements break In, lax methods allow the child to cease at tending the church. Parents should take the burden of teaching. The father, who In the real head of the home, should not leave the religion of the home to the mother. 'The boy should be taught that confirma tlon la the step of ordination Into the ley men priesthood, and he should be taught to begin church work there. More boys should be turned into the ministry, we need them both at home and abroad, and the work of lsymen abroad should be en couraged. "Family religion Is the basis of the church and It should be the basis of what Is the real spirit of the church, the layman working for God. Improve your own meth ods of worshiping God, religion' Is contag loua, because it Is the life of Him above."

Medical men, by patient research, have demonstrated that drunkennesi is a poisoning and that the drunkard is one in need of medical attention. The disease of alcoholism can aurelj be cured, thanks to the Neal treat ment, which has demonstrated that It Is an iniallible remedy striking at one at the roots of the trouble. There baa always been a demand for the treat ment for habitual drunkenness which can be administered Internally, with out the use of dangerous hypodermic. injections. Experience has taught that no treat ment other than the Neal Cure hai ever been successful in treating drunk enness In less than four weeks' time. It makes no difference how long a man has been drinking, how much or how little he drinks, or what he drinks, the Neal treatment has never failed to cure in three days' tinio, and with out the use of that devilish little tor mentor of the flesh, the hypodermio syringe. Just bear in mind that there is no Buch thing aa a "secret cure" for drunkenness, and you are taking great risk in administering these remedies.
