Yards” district to congressman, politi
cal dictator of Illinois, president of a
bank and United States Senator, only
to he deposed in the Senate because
of irregularities in his election, anti j
then to view the crashing of his bank, ;
A new start was made in the forests
of the South, where he gained physi
cal strength and to some extent re
habilitated his financial position, in
tent always on paying every dollar
owed when his hank failed.
Later, South American oil and tim
ber concessions further aided in his
comeback, stories of friends relate, but
his sight became impaired and he re
turned recently for treatment.
Mr. Lorlmer is in Louisville. Ky., to
see the Derby. He now is ti 4 years old.
He was elected tothe Senate in 1909.
when he was 4S years old. after reach
ing the pinnacle in Illinois politics.

nection With Laying of
Corner Stone.
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 15.—The, Chicago
Federation of Women’s Organizations,
comprising 50,000 clubwomen, will be
the only woman’s group in the coun

aY ter noon.
She is Airs. Edward S. Bailey, who
will lay the corner stone of the fed
eration's model home in Park Ridge,
a suburb, as part of the “Better Homes
in America” movement. The question
arose as to whether she should be a
member of the bricklayer s union to
qualify as corner stone layer.
’’We have given Theodore Roose
velt, John L. Sullivan and others
honorary memberships in the brick
layers’ organization,” said Timothy
llealy, union business agent. "I never
heard of a woman being admitted be
fore. but I don’t know why that should
bar Mrs. Bailey.”
So tomorrow, just before Mrs. Bailey
dips the ceremonial silver trowel into
the mortar, Charles Wilder, union of
ficial. will present her with her union
card as an honorary bricklayer.

labored and which has belonged to
the Dukes of Alba many centuries.

a series of festivities in honor of the

chives written by Columbus and one
of the charts used by the discoverer
of America.
The duke visited the United States
last year to attend the International
polo games.
