"I speak tut'-ti sorporatlon mad.'f said Mr.

in my city, and I say that the man who
fears to put the power back Into the hands
of the people because It may hurt his busi

He outlined the beginning; of his interest
In the corrupt politics of Ban Francisco
which he helped to clean up and told of the
ways In which Abe Ruef, now Sentenced to
a fourteen-year penitentiary term, tried to
get him entangled In the machine, offering
finally to precipitate a big strike that
would sacrifice working men and their In
terests In a scheme to get control of an
Issue of municipal bonds at a low price. On
the bribe question he said:
"It Is not always the taker of the bribe
who Is to blame. It Is not always a holdup.
The corporations muy complain that It Is
'blood money,' but In our city they con
tributed money to put back Into office the
very men against whom they had com
plulned as demanding 'blood money,' which
showed that they must have wanted to pay
the tribute."

to the farmers of the state to engage now
In making complete tests of seed corn and
not to wait until spring. The experience
of Iowa farmers last year was disastrous,

resolution will have the effect of confirm
ing Senator Lorlmer's title to the seat he
occupies.
Of course, It will be possible for a mem
ber of the committee on privileges .nd
elections or any other senator for that
matter, to offur a substitute resolution,
but Chalrhan Furrows announced today
that so far as he was concerned the senate
would vote on the Beverldge measure. Tbe
agreement reached yesterday was in con
nection with the Beverldge resolution and
friends of Henator Lorlmer say they have
no desire to Interfere with the order of the
senate as defined In the unanimous con
sent agreement
Stone Still Filibustering.
Most. If not all of the senators, appeared
anxious to expedite business with a view
of getting up the I-orlmer case the first
possible moment. Henator Stone was an
exception. He Insisted on the full reading
of the long journal of yesterday and on
the most minute attention to ail details.
On the taking up of routine business,
Senator Owen of Oklahoma took the floor
and began a speech in opposition to Mr.
Lorlmer. The Illinois senator was present
while Mr. Owen was upeaking. Vie ap-IH-ared
to be giving the closest attention
to the Oklahoman. Outwardly there was
no Indication of any unusual excitement
and Mr. 1-orlmei appeared quit as cool as
he hhb been through the protracted debate
on his cme.
Before Mr. Owen began to apeak, Mr.
ISeveridge had shown a disposition to has
ten rather than Impede procedures. He re
lused to permit the li ansaci.on of any
othn than necessary bti'inesj
"1 am sorry for William Ixjniner." said
Senator Owen Impressively, as he took
f.oor. elaborating on hia sympathy for the
Illinois senator, Mr. Owen still malntcined
tl at a stain had been left on his good
name by the nuinner of his election to the
senate. There had been oorrupi'on and
bilbery In that occurrence, contended the i substitute
Oklahoma aenator, and he id that It was
Impossible not to believe that Lorlmer had
not knewn what was transpiring.
Denial from lioveruor Ienren.
Mr. Uwen thin produced, but did not
Immediately read a telegram from Gov
ernor Ueneen denying Kenator Lorlmer S
statements regarding himself. As the
speaker was preparing to comment ou the
telegiam teuatur lie; burn awuglit Wt make
ilJwcUun.
"Will the senator from Oklahom
aaked the chair.
"I will not," flatly responded Mr. Owen.
Speaking theiV.as a matter of privilege.
Mr. Heyburn made the point that the
message should be read. The chair held
the question was not one of personal priv
ilege, but Mr. Owen relieved the situation
by proceeding to read the document which,
though a telegram, was very long. It
proved to be a categorical reply to all 'of
the Illinois senator's allegations concerning
the governor.
The charge that the governor had en
tered Into a conspiracy to obtain the pub
lication of White's confession wbji pro
nounced by the telegram to be entirely
without foundation. The governor wrote
he knew nothing of the oonftsslon until
it was on the press and that he then
had given out an Interview expressing the
opinion that there should be an Investi
gation. Combination Against Deneen.
odvernor Deneen also declared Lorimer'a
proposition to elect the governor to the
senatorshtp had Involved the use of demo
cratic votes and Mr. Deneen expressed
doubts that election by such a course
would have the effect of healing breaches
In the republican party as Mr. Ixirimer had
expressed confidence that It would.
"Mr. oLrlmer gave reasons why the
democrats wpuld support me. I failed to
see any reason why they should support
me." said the writer of the long tele
gram. "The truth Is," he added, "that
this bi-partisan combination was formed
to defeat me,' 'and went on to say that the
combination had made corrupt alliances
with Interests that could not use him.
Mr. Owen criticised Mr. Ixirimer for not
appearing before the investigation com
mittee. . He declared the question waa not
so much one to a seat In the senate as
of whether the senate should stifle bribery
and corruption or encourage such prac
tices. Apparently In face of much opposition
from his own state Senator Simmons of
North Carolina delivered a brief address
giving the reaaons why he would suport
Mr. Lorlmer.
Lorlmer Addreeees Chair.
When Mr. Simmons yielded the floor,
Senator Lorlmer himself addressed the
chair evidently to the surprise oi moL
of the senators. He rose only to spean oi
oOvernor Deneens telegram to .-enmur
Owen. Taking up that message In detail
he declared an examination of It would
verify all of the statements that (Mr. Lorl
mer) had made to the senate.
Senator Smith of Michigan, succeeded
Senator Lorlmer In addressing the senate.
The senator expressed a conviction that
the committee had not gone far enough
In Its Investigation; nor was the country
satisfied with the extent of the investiga
tion. Senator La Follette also spoke briefly In
opposition to Mr. Lorlmer. Mr. La Follette
declared "every line of the testimony con
victs the senator not only of obtaining his
seat by bribery, but of being a participant
In the bribery."
He turned, with trembling voice and
hands, toward the seat of Senator Lorlmer
on his left. People In the gallery rose to
see what the object of all this depunciatlon
woud do. There was an Instant of tense
silence.
"The gentleman Is not In his seat.'' Mr.
La Follette said, and turned away to face
the senate.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections which
Investigated the Lorlmer case, and Its re
port which exonerated the accused senator,
was on his feet trying to Interrupt. He tried
to read from the minority report which
declared that the1 evidence did not prove
complicity on Lorlmer's part In the alleged
bribery.'" ' ' ... .
Clock Haiftlk Near Unit.
"Doea the senator yield?" asked the pre
siding officer. The hand of the clock hov
ered over the half haur mark people held
their breath. The' chairman'a gaven was
in the air.
"Jdst a minute, just a minute," cried
Mr. La Follette. "I know what the sena
tor wants to say. You never can prove a
thing like that, but you know It. I don't
know where the money came from that
was used In an effort to defeat my own
re-election to the senate, but I do know
that part of It came from Wall street."
Bang; tha gavel fell, and Senator La
Follette sank back with the phrase, "Wall
street," on his lips. A titter of hysterical
laughter ran over the galleries.
"The hour of 1:30 havlug arrived," said
the vice president, ''the secretary will read
the resolution." It waa read:
Resolved, That Mr. Lorlmer was not "uly
and legally elected to a seat in the senate
of the United States by the legislature of
the state of Illinois.
"The secretary will call the roll."
"Mr. Aldrich ," and the vote was on.
The scene when the vote was taken was
one of Intense, but suppressed excitement.
The result had been xpected, but every
body waited breathlessly for tha announce
ment. It waa received with applause from
the galleries, but, as usual, this was
quickly suppressed by the presiding of
ficer. "The resolution is lost," announced the
vice president, and the senate was in con
fusion, people leaving the galleries and
the floor. It was some minutes before the
senate could resume its proceedings.
J. G. ROBIN PLEADS GUILTY
New York Banker Admits Taking
$27,000 from One Institution.
SEVEN MORE BILLS AGAINST HIM
He la Itemanrted to Tombs t ntll March

Jory Rejects Ilia Plen
of laaanlty.
NEW YORK. March 1. Joseph O. Robin.
the fallen banker, pleaded guilty today to
an Indictment charging him with larceny
of JI7.0n0 from the Washington Savings
bank, of which he was formerly president
Seven Indictments against him remain. He
was remanded to the Tombs until March
27, when he will be sentenced.
The collapse of Robin's defense of Insan
ity put forward by his sister. Dr. Louise
Robin, and his counsel, William Travers
Jerome, was foreshadowed last night when
It was reported that Robin had said he
was "tired of all this fooling," but It
caused a stir In the court room nonetheless.
On the night before the Northern Bank
of New York, In which Robin also was
Interested, went into the hands of the state
superintendent of banks. Robin was com
mitted to a private sanitarium on affi
davits sworn out by his sister and two
persons. The sanitarium rejected him and
he returned to tbe jurisdiction of the court
and submitted to arrest. On the day he
was arrested Robin attempted suicide on
the way to court by swallowing poison, but
the prompt use of a stomach pump caved
him.
Jury llcjetts Insanity Tlea.
On motion of Jerome, alienists were ap
pointed by the state and defense to ex
amine his sanity and they reported unani
mously that he was incompetent to under
take a defense, A jury sitting under Judge
Swan rejected the findings of the alienists
and Judgo Swan complimented the jury
on its "horse sense."
The case came to trial on Monday and
Jerome's preliminary motions to dismiss
on the ground that the deiendant was in
sane were overruled by Justice Seahury.
Jerome followed with a searching examina
tion of each talesmun and all indications
were that the case would be fought to the
last ditch.
Then Jerome decided to withdraw from
the defense and Robin, through other
counsel, pleaded guilty.
Through Robin's operations the Wash
ington Savings bank, the Northern Bank
of New York, the Carnegie Trust company
and a string of minor concerns which he
promoted went Into Insolvency, No full
statement of his larcenies has yet been
made public by the state examiners.

caslon to go to the city campus. About 95
per cent of the graduates of the ""school
of agriculture return to Nebraska farms.
"The college of agriculture admits high
school graduates or graduates of the school
of agriculture and gives them a four-years'
college course. This college has a regis
tration of 110 men and forty-nine women,
all of whom must take part of their work
at the farm and part at the city campus.
But few graduates of the college of agri
culture return to farm life, the most of
them becoming teachers or leaders of agri
cultural thought.
"On the city campus are six colleges,
having a registration of about 8.000, of
whom about 150 go to the farm for. part
of their work." "jj ' '
Arguments Mnmraarlsed.
The committee summarizes the arguments
for removal as follows:
First The advantage to students of being
removed from too close contact with city
life.
Second The attendance In the college of
agriculture would probably be largely in
creased, though attendance in the school of
agriculture might be reduced.
Third By removing we could build up
an Ideal, new, modern fireproof plant
planned and built as a unit, and of which
l lie xtale could be proud.
Fourth After complete removal better
Work could be done.
Fifth A united plant could be admin
istered at less expense than a divided one
and It would be easier to secure harmon
ious work.
Against Itemoval.
Against removal, the committee cites
these arguments:
First. Students attending at the cltv
campus receive the cultural value of city
mj anu enter into and take part in the 1
social and church work of the city. I
Second. The removal of 3.0U0 college I
students to the farm campus, though in- !
creasing the attendance In the college of
agriculture, would probably result in
shawodlng and Injuring the school of agri.
culture.
Third. About one-half of the male stu
dents at the city campus v wholly, or
in part, working their way i..rough school
and are receiving In wages about lGo,0jy
per annum. It is estimated that about
one-iourin, oi inose earning their vuy as I
aforesaid would be unable to fill their
present positions of removal takes place. '
but this loss would no doubt, at least in I
part, adjust itself as the city built up
near the farm.
Fourth. TThe period of removal, e a. ..I
Ing over eeveral years, would be ver .y
ing to both faculty and students and would
probably have an unfavorable effect, not
only on the attendance, but on quality of
work.
Fifth. It is conservatively estimated
that the cost of consolidation and building '
un the university a.t the farm uillt h hum I
11,0)0.000 more than it will cost to obtain
the necessary land and develop the two
plants separately, but frfm these figures
should be deducted whatever the state
may be able to realize from the city cam
pus. If two separate campuses should be
maintained and built up, your committee
Is unanimously agreed that the proceeds
of a special levy of one-half mill on the
aatesed valuation of the state would be
Imperatively required and should be placed
at the disposal of the regents for about
eight ears for purchasing ground at the
city compile and erecting needed buildings
nn both campuses, and that for the coming
blennlutn this amount should be equiftly
divided between the two campuses.
Recommendation. ,
After carefully weighing all the evidence,
both for and aganlHt removal, we are
unanimously of the opinion that a more
harmonious and more economically admin
istered university mav be built up at the
farm campus, but that to accomplish this
It Is ahsnluely necessary that a special
lew of 1 mill for about eight vrarn be
made avallablfe for this purpose: and on
the condition that this legislature Is will
ing to provide for such special levy rtf 1
mill, we unanimously recommend that It
be declared that the policy of the state
In regard to the unl-ersity, that all col
leges now located on the city campus be
removed to the farm campue and a rnn
solhlated institution there built up: and
that such removal be made as rapidly as
as the funds made available by said levy
will permit.
