SHUT UP! SHOUT
STAID CITY CLUB
MEMBERS TO POPE
Sedate Body Nearly Riots When
Alva Adams Is Verbally
Attacked
SPEAKER MENACED BY GAVEL
Even President Finlayson Shows
Signs of Anger—Guest of
Honor Is Victim
JOHN T. POPE, the Garvanza dyna
mite bomb, narrowly escaped HC<
tlnrllon yesterday afternoon. For
about 2 cents in nickels 200 members
of the sedate, dignified City club would
have Jumped on his neck and stamped
Mm eternal daylights out of him. It
lieadad only President Frank O. Fin
layson to give the word, and ho was
easily mad enough to do it, but he
controlled his temper as well as could
be expected under the unpleasant cir
cumstance*, und for that reason Jawn
T. is able to cat hip breakfast this
morning. ..
Things were going beautifully at the
regular weekly luncheon of the club
at the Westminster hotel. Hon. Alva
Adams, three times governor of COIO
i-.iilo had made an address In which
ha had complimented little old Lrf>B
AngelM good and plenty and had
made a ringing apeech on how to be
good In politics. He finished and it
w.is time for President Flnlayson to
get up and miy how much obliged the
club was for all the nice things Gov
ernor Adamn had said, when Pope
came through with his diversion.
"Mr. President, may I ask the
sp. ikiT a question?" he Inquired.
"Certainly," answered Flnlayson,
blandly. .
"I want to know, Mr. Adams, why
it was that after you had declared you
would not run for governor and Judge
Ben Lindsay had been Indorsed for
governor you suddenly changed your
mind, took the nomination and ap
pointed a corporation tool as your
campaign manager?"
There was silence for about ten sec
onds— t!ie kind of silence you can hew
chunks nut of—and then President
Finlayson let go. He had been gath
ering his wrath during the interval
and ho opened the phials and let Pope
have it to the last drop. It wasn't so
much what ho said, but, wow! the
way he said it.
AFFRONT TO GITCBT
"It is not In keepilkS-wlth the pro
priety nor the high standing of this
club that such a question should be
asked of the honored guest."
Tin applause that followed this was
thu moat vigorous kind of an amen.
If Pope didn't know where he stood
by that time he found out mighty
quick, when he said:
• 1 have a right to ask this question.
I am a citizen and a member of this
club. You all know me."
■Vis. we all know you," two or
three shouted with lust a hint at sar
caam. Pope was mad, too, at that,
and responded:
"1 don't care a snap what your opin
ion of me may be."
■Its an insult to this eiub," one
wrought up member shouted.
"Governor Adams may do as he
pleases about answering this ques
tion," said Mr. Finlayson, still boiling.
"There never was a question asked
Of mi? yet that I could not answer,"
Governor Adams replied, "and I can
answer this one eaßily, for it is a lie.
I had said I would not be a candidate
for governor, but when the Democratic
convention nominated me unanimously
there was nothing I could do but ac
cept the burden. Judge Lindsay could
not have been elected nor could he
have secured the nomination."
"Did you not appoint Milton Smith,
a corporation tool, as your campaign
manager?" was the next delicate
question from Pope.
President Finjayson stood up with
his gavel extended in a threatening
manner toward Pope, and Just as he
did ho somebody right In Flnlayson's
vicinity said, "Shut up!" in stentorian
tones. It will probably always be one
of the mysteries of the club who said
that "Shut up." Of course Mr. Fin
luyson wouldn't say such a tVilng, but
if he had he would not have had to
apologize for It to that crowd. It was
certain Governor Adams didn't say it,
for he was smiling all the time. It
might have been Mayor Alexander,
who was sitting next to Governor
Adams, tor he looked very much like
he wanted to start something. It has
• been placed to the credit of Dr. Le
moyne Wills. But anyhow, somebody
said it and It had the desired effect,
for Pope did shut up.
But Governor Adams was not dls-
concerted,
"I did not appoint Smith as my cam
paign manager. He was appointed for
me because he had the situation well
In hand and was the best man that
could have been selected to do what
he was designed to do. I knew that
ho was a corporation attorney a/xd
opposed him at the first opportunity'
Pope wasn't satisfied, but everyone
else was.

WHISTLERS FORM CLUB
DETROIT, April 30.—Detroit may
have a whistlers' club added to Its
other musical organizations, if the am
bitions of MVs. Mary E. Thomas ma
terialize.
"Most persons who make an art of
whittling go merely for bird imitutions
and grace notes," said Mrs. Thomas.
'•That is till right of itself, but I want
to get whistlers who can learn to
whistle by note and who can carry
the different parts of a composition.
I have had two and three persons to
gether and carried such pieces as the
hymn, 'Sowing the Seed.' It works up
pi-.itily find shows that there are great
possibilities for more pretentious
pieces.
"i put an advertisement In the paper
asking for whistlers and received some
responses; but. they are nearly all so
pranos. I have one mezzo and am
looking for an alto. I know there are
many in the city who enjoy whistling,
and I think that with a practice to
gether we can form an organization
that will be something distinctively
new in the musical world. They tell
me that it is only a notion and can't
be carried out; but I was born in Mis
souri, and they will have to do more
than talk to discourage me."

9 OF 13 COUNCILMANIC
CANDIDATES HOODOOED
Number of Petitions Filed Means
Majority Will Not Get
by the Primaries
Hoodoo is written all over the pri
mary nominating election for June 2,
for there are thirteen candidates for
council who will enter the contest.
The time for filing petitions closed yes
terday at noon, and whim 12 o'clock
"struck that unlucky number of de
mands to be put on the ballot were in
the hands of the city clerk.
It's a dead cinch it will be unlucky
for nine of them, for the primary
nominating election is a process of
elimination by which two candidates
are selected for each office. As there
are two vacancies in the council, four
candidates will be selected, those four
having- the highest number of votes,
and the other nine will go into the
discard.
The dope around the city hall is that
Q. H. Stewart, F. W. Whiffen, Dr. A.
D. Houghton and Barney Healy will
be the chosen four. Stewart and Whif-
fen are Good Government proteges,
and Doc Houghton and J3arney Healy
are not. After the primary conies the
mighty struggle to elect two of these
four to fill the vacancies.
The thirteen who have entered In the
free-for-all are: F. W. Whiffen. P. U
Dolge, Rice Adams, O. H. Stepart,
Barney Healy, George Coulson, S. D.
Weil, A. D. Houghton. R. G. Doyle,

ROW STARTED AS CHICO
MEN JUMP LAND CLAIM
280 Acres of Stanford Property
Forced to Contest
(Special to The Herald.■>
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 30.—Three
Chica men have Jumped 280 acres
of land that for fifty years has been
considered part of the Stanford ranch,
near Vina. The claims of two of the
men for eighty acres each have been
sustained by the land office in this city.
The third claim has been held up for
investigation.
The three claimants are Arthur B.
Foster, William J. Baker and W. Mor
rison. The claims of the first two
named have been sustained.
The land involved ie worth from $100
to $150 an acre, and that awarded to
Foster and Baker means a lr's to
Stanford university, the present t vner,
of fully $30,000. If Morrison's eh m is
sustained the loss to the instltutic i will
be more than $30,000.
It is considered likely that Stanford
interests will make a strong fight to
retain the land and to prove it part of
the original grant, on which techni
cality the contest now hinges.
CAN'T SAVE STARVING MAN
LEGALLY? LET HIM STARVE!
SEATTLE, April 30.—Former State
Representative L. E. Rader, who, on
the advice of a woman physician, has
eaten no food for four weeks and whose
death is looked for soon, was located
today in the home of a friend on
Broadway, whither he had been taken
to avoid the lunacy commission ap
pointed to examine him.
It is unlikely that he will be mo
lested in his new abode. The city
health office cannot prosecute the star
vation doctor and it is doubtful wheth
or the patient would be declared in
sane if examined. One patient of the
woman died of starvation three weeks
ago.

(Special* to Thß Herald.)
TRENTON, N. J., April 30.—During
a trial of the $30,000 damage suit of one
big manufacturing company against
another yesterday there was a sudden
interruption caused by former Attorney
General Robert H. McCarter stopping
in his argument for fully a minute.
, There was a fixed look ■#,■ his face.
His arm, used in a ges.-. a't,-'remained
extended. Thinking he was suffering
from a sudden attack of illness, those
In the court room stirred uneasily and
several court attendants made their
way to the lawyer to give him assist
ance
Slowly, as if in a dream, Mr. Mc-
Carter reached In an Inside pocket and
drew forth three letters, at which he
gazed ruefully.
Then he gave the following brief ex
planation, which convulsed the court:
"My wife gave me these letters to
post, and I forgot, thorn until this min
ute."
SHORTS DISCIPLINE PATTEN;
PAY $320,000 FOR DOING IT
(Special to Tho Herald.)
NEW YURK, Ap. - 30.—There is
gloom in the camp of a coterie of cot
ten shorts tonight. They believed they
could "discipline" James A. Patten
and other bull leaders. The knowledge
that they couldn't cost them $320,000,
which the bulls got. The misguided
shorts had to make deliveries today
and they had to pay much more for
the cotton the bulls called for than
they got when they sold short. Cha
grin was added to their grief when
the bulls, after accepting all the de
liveries, bid freely for May and July
contracts. It seemed to the shorts that
the bulls were ready to buy all tho
cotton in the world.

HORSES PLAY PING PONG
WITH MUIR-TOUGH LUCK
"Dod f?ast it, I haven't been out of
the hospital but Vvo weeks and now
this old tough ly :k pestilence comes
along and swipes/me another bang on
tho cocoa."
This was the outburst of disgust
emitted by James Muir at the Pasadena
police station last night after a pair of
saddle horses had played ping pong
with him on Park avenue in Linda
Vista. Bandages covered his entire
body, and the doctors said his clavicle
was fractured. A fractured clavicle is
nearly as bad as a swift kick from the
hoof of a prehistoric fotherwibbigil.
Clavicle is the hospital name for col
larbone.
A couple of weeks ago Mr. Muir be
came inadvertently mixed up with a
landslide, or cave in—a petty disaster —
in which rocks and lumps of dobe mud
bounced off hiß pate, much to his dis
comfort and annoyance. The whole
(iendish business landed him in the
hospital, and he no sooner got out than
he made a mlscue in the middle of the
street, where a pair of ponies were
prancing along.
He managed to sprawl his way from
the path of one, but he didn't see the
second. He dove head first Into the
brono's shins.
The riders Jumped off and hoped lie
wasn't hurt.
With what consciousness he had left
Muir hastened to hope the iam«, but
something down around his neck told
him that his part had not bean one of
much glory. •
"Talk about hard luck: mine must
be petrified," says Mr. Muir.

Their Accuser
WHITE SWEARS HE GOT $1000
Solon Tells of Legislative 'Jack
Pot' from Which He Drew
$900 in St. Louis
[Associated Press]
(\ HICAGO.. April 30.—Representative
■ Charles A. White's sworn state
; ment that he received $1000 to cast
his vote for William Lorimer for the
United States senate and that he also
accepted $900 as his share of an al
leged legislative "jack pot," met with
general denials today.
The Chicago Tribune, in a copy
righted story printed this morning,
stated that it has in its possession a
sworn statement by White, a mem
ber of the lower house of the Illinois
legislature from the Forty-ninth dis
trict, charging that Lorimer was elect
ed to the United States senate last
May by bribery and corruption. White,
who is a Democrat, says the money
was paid him by Lee O'Neil Browne,
Democratic leader of the last legisla
ture.
Browne, alleged by White to have
been the distributor of the .Lorimer
money, arrived here today, as did Sen
ator Lorimer. Browne declared that
White had rushed into print because
he had failed in an attempt to use
tho story to secure hush money. Both
Browne and Lorlmer denied emphatic
ally the use of bribes.
Robert E. Wilson, a Democratic rep
resentative from Chicago, declared by
White to have doled out the "jack
pot." at St. Louis, joined the chorus
of denials. Browne admits having
been at St. Louis at the time White
alleges the "Jack pot" was distribut
ed, but declares the Democrats who
assembled there were partisans of
Browne who wished to arrange a ban
quet for him at his home town. Browne,
according to himself, frowned on the
enterprise of his partisans and the ban
quet was called off.
SAYS Itll'lHNU WAS LOBBYIST
According to Browne, White was
formerly a street car conductor at
East St. Louis, and later appeared at
Springfield as a lobbyist in favor of
labor bills. Then he was elected to
the lower house.
White in his charges stated that the
public might expect to hear him called
a blackmailer, but. that he was pre
pared for that; he was willing to suf
fer ignominy in order to expose the
corruption which he declared exists at
Springfield.
In the course of an interview today
Browne said:
"Since I became acquainted with
White at the last session of the legis
lature he appealed to me several times
for loans, saying he was in debt, hard
up, etc. On three or four occasions I
let him have $50 or so, for which I
hold his notes. Finally this borrowing
habit of his became too common and
I wrote him a letter, advising him to
go to work and earn a living, like
other people. I even secured a posi
tion for him, but it paid only $76, and
he refused to take it. Then a coolness
sprang up. The next thing to come
from him was a remarkable letter. It
ran this way:
" 'I have written a full story of my
experiences at Springfield at the legis
lature. Those who have seen it de
clare it is the best story the world has
seen. I wrote it for publication. I
have used your name in it with deep
regret, for I cannot avoid it and still
set forth the facts. I also have told
Senator Lorlmer about it.'
DID XOT ASK FOR MO VET
"He did not ask for money," con
tinued Browne, "but tho intimation
was as plain as if It had been In scare
heads that unless money was paid the
story would be published. It was my
first intimation that he had gone into
the thug business. I looked at the situ
ation from every angle, and at last
concluded there was but one thing to
do—to ignore the letter and its writer."
White was interviewed by State's
Attorney Wayman today, but the lattej
would not divulge tho nature of the
talk. White, however, is expected to
tell his story to the special grand jury
next week.
The Tribune tomorrow will say that
in relating his charge White gave the
names of four other Democratic mem
bers of the general assembly who met
with him and Representative Robert
E. Wilson of Chicago in the Southern
hotel at St. Louis, when a portion of
the alleged bribe was paid.
The names mentioned by White are
Joseph S. Clark of Vandalia, Michael S.
Link of Mitchell, Henry S. Shepherd of
Jerseyville and Charles S. Luke of
Nashville, all of Illinois. Luke Is now
The Tribune declares that in order to
ascertain what these men knew of the
matter it sent an experienced investi
gator to each of them twice and sent
two of its staff to each of them on an
other occasion.
NMMJSi ABE ON REGISTER
It was first discovered, according to
the Tribune, that the register of the
Southern hotel showed that Robert E.
Wilson was there on July 15, 190!), the
date on which White declared that
Wilson paid him $900 as a brib. for
voting for Lorimer. T'.iis money, White
said was paid him by Wilson while in
a bathroom occupied by Wilson in tho
hotel.
Michael S. Link, who was a repre
sentative in the legislature that elected
Lorimer, admitted at his first inter
with the Tribune investigator that If
had talked with Wilson alone in th>
bathroom. When asked if he had re
ceived any money from Wilson, he re
plied:
"It's nobody's business If I received
money or did not."
In a subsequent interview Link said
he desired to withdraw that statement,
as receiving money under such clrcum
■tancei would ho accepting a brihe.
In an interview with Representative
Clark ho declared he was unable to re
member the St. Louis meeting with
Wilson. He could not recall receiving
