The wedding processions in Cairo
were about the funniest thing* I

city, with everyone wearing gar

paper to describe all the quaint cer
emonies, feasts, receptions and fetes
of all kinds. At their banquets little
is said, as hunger is too pressing;
not a sound of a dish—fingers take
the place of forks—and eaoh one
dips into the middle of the dish,
which contains a mixture of what is
called "tourohis." Each one leaves
the table when he wishes and make*
hi* way to the copper basin at the
end of the table, where a servant
pours a stream of clear water into
th* palms of his hands. After his
hand* are washed the water finds
It* way to his mouth by means of
the index finger, which serves as an
Impromptu tooth brush. Then come
gurglings and garglings, highly hy

LORIMER FIGHTS
TO HUSH EVIDENCE
ABOUT 'JACK POT'
Senator's Lawyers Seek to Re
strict Scope of Congres
sional Probe
LEGISLATOR TELLS OF BRIBE
White Says He Was Paid $1000
by Browne to Vote for
Chicago Man
[Assoclftteil Press!
CHICAGO, Sept. 2fi — Testimony from
State Representative Charles A. White
was hoard today by the senate com
mittee investigating the charges of bri
bery in the election of William Lori
mer as senator from Illinois.
After hours of argument by coun
sel, the committee left undetermined
the question of the admisslbility of
testimony relative to the alleged jack
pot, a fund for the payment of legis
lators for voting for or against bills
pending before the Illinois general as
sembly. Attorney Alfred S. Austrian,
representing the Chicago Tribune,
which is pushing the charges against
Senator Lorimer, contended that the
alleged participation of legislators who
voted for Senator Lorimer in the spoils
of the so-called "Jack pot" was per
tinent to the investigation as showing
general legislative corruption.
' Attorney Elbridge Hanecy, counsel
for Senator Lorimer, opposed the ad
mission of testimony relative to bribes
paid to legislators for their votes on
matters apart from the senatorial elec
tion.
On the understanding that the ac
tion was not to be considered a pre
cedent admitting the whole "jack pot" (
sucject, Chairman Burrows permitted
White to answer some questions touch-
Ing- the matter.
WHITE TEIJjS OF BRIBE
No objection was made by counsel
to the testimony of White that he had
been paid $1000 by Lee O'Neil Browne,
the Democratic leader, to vote for
Senator Lorlmer, but his words tell
ing of the alleged distribution of the
"jack pot" In a St. Louis hotel met
with objection.
Afer an executive session of some
minutes, the ruling that the witness
could answer on the St. Louis occur
rence was given with the understand
ing that no precedent was established
and that the motion to exclude such
testimony -was still pending.
White then declared that he was
met In a St. Louis hotel by Robert E.
Wilson, also a Democratic representa
tive, who paid him $900 as his share of
the jack pot.
White detailed his meeting with the
other Democratic legislators In Wil
son's room and testified that the pay
ment was made to him in the bathroom
by Wilson, who before that had con
ferred with another legislator in the
same bathroom.
The committee would not permit the
witness at this time to relate the con
versations which he said he had with
Representative Joseph Clark of Van
dalia relative to a third representative,
Mihcael Links, touching the bribery
payments. .
In the argument over the admissibil
ity of the conversations of White, Sen
ator Paynter asked Attorney Austrian:
"Do you contend that if a number of
legislators confess that they were
bribed, it would Justify unseating a
senator?"
Attorney Austrian replied:
"No, that Is not our contention."
Authorities on the admission of tes
timony relative to the conversations
were cited by Attorney Austrian.
ARGUES FOR. DEEP PROBE
In the course of his argument Attor
ney Austrian said:
"Wo will prove that every man who
was paid to vote for Senator Lorimer
also shared in the jackpot. We expect
to show the corrupt doings of the leg
islators. If we cannot show this other
corruption the testimony on the Lori
mer money will have less weight."
Digressing at one point from the le
gal points involved Attorney Hanecy
said":
"Governor Deneen will testify, if he
is called, that he, Governor Deneen,
suggested that Senator Lorimer be
come a candidate for the senatorshlp.
"This committee Is asked," continued
Attorney Hanecy, "to hold against Sen
ator Lorimer because it is said that
someone paid money to pass or kill
bills. It' this lino of testimony Is ad
mitted we should be. allowed to sum
mon every corporation or person that
is charged with paying money into this
"jackpot" fund and show by them that
they did not pay anything to affect
legislation."
Representative 11. J. Heckemeyer ar
rived today and was served with a
summons to testify. He is expected to
be the second witness before the com
mittee. The direct examination of Rep
resentative White will be resumed to
morrow.

SHERMAN ASKS TRICKERY
CHARGES BE INVESTIGATED
SARATOGA, N. T., Sept. 26.—At the
meeting of the Republican state com
mittee tonight Chairman Woodruff
read a letter from Vice President
Sherman asking for an Investigation
by the committee of the charge that
his selection for temporary chairman
of the state convention was brought
about through trickery, and saying
that if such charges were substan
tiated he would not care to serve.
Mr. Sherman's letter follows:
"As you know, I had no ambition to
preside over the state convention to
convene tomorrow. As you also know,
I was asked to preside not alone be
cause I was part of the Taft admin
istration, but because it was known
that in response to the president's re
quest I had spoken of the administra
tion and for him on several occasions
in different sections of the country;
because It was known I had been a
staunch supporter of the president
during his entire term of office; be
cause I was known to be an especially
ardent supporter and advocate Of the
baste principles of the party.
"My name was presented in the state
committee in accordance with custom
in state and nation. I solicited no
man's support. I consented to act as
a service to ray party, not to gratify
a personal ambition. In that respect
I had none.
"The charge has since been made in
some quarters that my selection was
accepted in the state committee by
means of deception and misrepresen
tation. I do not believe it. So far as
I am personally concerned, I know
the statement to be absolutely un
founded. EX-en to do the party a ser
vice I am unwilling to serve in the
face of Buch a charge if well founded.
"I therefore ask that at the commit
tee meeting tonight the charge so
publicly made be with equal dierct
ness and publicity investigated; that
the majority of the state committee
which originally favored my selection
may each declare whether or not his
preference was based upon any state
ment which bore any color of misrep
resentation or deception, for if such
be the fact I ask that my name be not
presented to the convention for its
temporary presiding officer tomorrow."
SHERMAN RE-SELECTED
SARATOGA, N. T., Sept. 26.—8y a
vote of 22 to 15 the Republican state
committee at a special meeting to
night reaffirmed its selection of Vice
President Sherman over Theodore
Roosevelt as temporary chairman of
the state convention which convenes
tomorrow.

R.R. REBATING IS
STRONGLY HINTED
Favoritism to Certain Shippers
Indirectly Charged at
Rate Hearing
PROBE DAMAGE ACCOUNTS
Business Men About Ready to
Rest Case Before Com
merce Commission
[Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—Indirect charges
that the railroads In the west were vio
lating the Elkins anti-rebate law and
favoring certain shippers, charging: the
alleged rebates to "damage accounts,"
were made before the Interstate com
merce commission at today's session of
the hearing into tHe advisability of al
lowing western roads to make a general
raise in freight rates.
California Thorne, representing live
stock and other shippers, delivered the
implication in questioning C. J. Me-
Pherson, assistant general manager of
the Missouri Pacific railroad. The col
loquy began with Mr. Thome's ques
tion: •
"To what account were rebates
charged prior to 1904?"
"I know nothing of rebates," replied
the witness; "I do not know that rebates
ever were given."
"What I want to find out," persisted
Mr. Thorne, "is this: Is it possible that
rebates still are given as they were
then and charged to damage accounts
or similar accounts? I want to find
out what the procedure was then, to
see if it is still followed, and I am in
variably met with the answer, 'I don't
know,' from men whose steady business
it is to know."
Attorney Jeffreys, representing the
railroad, Interposed with the inquiry:
"May I learn to what end you are
aiming?"
PROBES DAMAGE ACCOUNTS
"Certainly," retorted Mr. Thorne. "In
your railroad's damage accounts, the
same as in others, there have been start
ling increases since 1904, with no satis
factory explanation. The Elkins bill
was passed in 1904. I have more than
hearsay advice that there is a connec
tion between these damage accounts
and rebates. I want to find out If re
bates still are being given."
Previous to this the shippers had in
timated to the committee that they
would enter no evidence but would rest
their case on the claim that the rail
roads had failed to show basis for an
increase of rates.
Assistant General Manager McPher
son of the Missouri Pacific said the
physical value of that road was far
above the capitalization—sl4s,ooo,ooo—
that Increasing land values had made
it so. I
E. B. Boyd, assistant vice president
of the Missouri Pacific railroad, after
some questioning, said he believed a
surplus, if taken from dividend earn
ings, should bo allowed the railroad
from income, and said he thought it
should be used the same as borrowed
capital, upon which interest and divi-,
dends should bo accumulated.
Chester M. Dawes, attorney for the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincey, opened
the case for his road with statistics
similar to those , submitted by other
railroads, by which he hoped to show
that his road was unable to pay a fair
return on its value, as judged by taxes
paid. Increased cost of labor, fuel and
material, he said, were to.blame for the
conditions he pictured.
GAYNDR WILL REFUSE
GOVERNOR NOMINATION
Mayor of New York Declares He

(Continued from rase One)
lodged In it, is second to no office in
this country, savrs one.
FUTURE NOT CONSIDERED
"Many tell me and write me that
in taking this course I give up my
future. But I shall not take myself or
my future into consideration. None of
us has a future, but only the present.
And if I thought I had a future I
should be contented to entrust it to
the people of the city of New York.
"I trust that the convention will
nominate one who Is not a mere dealer
In the political commonplaces and
jingles of the last twenty-five or thirty
years, but who has kept pace and
grown with the times, and whose ab
sorbing 1 purpose will be to make the
government of the state, in all its
branches, general and local, Intelligent,
honest and decent, and to lift it up and
make it an object lesson to the whole
nation.
"If to do this he has to be more or
less meddlesome, we will all forgive
his meddlesomeness, if kept fairly
within the law."
OPPONENTS OF GAYNOR
PREPARE FOR STRUGGLE
ROCHESTER, N. V., Sept. 26.—The
opponents of Mayor Gaynor devoted
today and tonight to preparation for
the struggle against his selection for
the head of the Democratic state
ticket, which now seems likely to be
the distinguishing feature of the two
days remaining prior to the conven
tion.
The extent of this opposition is dif
ficult to define. Friends of James S.
Havens declare that It covers the west
ern half of the state, and some assert
that there is no demand for the may
or's nomination outside of New York
city. At present the Havens men head
the antl-Gaynor forces and hope to
enlist the aid of other candidates, on
the ground that the elimination of
Gaynor is the first requisite toward In
suring the success of nnybody else, no
matter from what section of the state
he halls.
The opponents of Gaynor, it is said,
will urge on Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany Hall loader, and others that
it will be dangeroua to depend too
much on the popular sentiment in
Gaynor's favor engendered by hi.s at
tempted assassination; that but for
tills sympathy Judge Gaynor would not
have his present lead for the nomina
tion, and that it Is not strong enough
to weather the strain of a hard cam-1
paigu. '

BRYAN CRITICISES T. R.
IN COLORADO SPEECH
PUEBLO, Colo., Sept. 26.—Declaring
that the Democratic party welcomed
recruits and supporters of its policies,
but holding that the veterans should
receive full credit for the enactment of
those policies into law, William J.
Bryan at a mass meeting held here to
day defended Democratic doctrines and
criticised Theodore Roosevelt us being
inconsistent in his political record.
"The Democratic party has rreached
this doctrine of new nationalism for
fourteen years and in 1900 incorporated
It in its platform, quite in contrast with
tho distinguished gentleman who ap
pears to have just made the discovery
that this doctrine is correct and pro
gressive and just.
"In his expressions regarding rail
road regulation, the income tax, swol
len fortunes and publicity of campaign

Concerning the tariff Mr. Bryan said:
"This is merely a subterfuge to carry

tariff revision—revise the tariff honest
ly, not by its 'friends,' but with the one
object to protect the consumers."
