Keeley of the Chicago Tribune, today
told the senate Lorimer committee
that George Glavis* recent arrest on
a charge of embezzlement wan at his
(Keeley’s) request after Glavis had
been authorized to buy lobbyists’
books, which Glavis claimed would

per cent of a fund of $2OOO in a
fight made by the “Fire Proof maga
zine of Chicago, for the mail privi

Representative Tawney of Minnesota,
for many years chairman of the house
appropriations committee, ‘‘was mixed
up in the deal.”
To Drive Lorimer Out.
Elbridge Hanecy, counsel for Sena
tor Lorimer, began the cross-examina
tion of Mr. Keeley and the ownership
of the Tribune was delved Into.
Mr. Keeley testified that Medill Mc-
Cormick. editor of the Tribune be
lieved Lorimer should be driven out of
politics.
"And he worked consistently to do
that?” asked Lorimer's counsel.
"Yes and no.” replied Keeley.
Mr. Keelev admitted that the elec
tion of William J. Moxley to the na
tional house to succeed lairimer. was
one of the things that made McCor
mick hostile to Lorimer.
"We were fighting Lorimerlsm and
we tried to make a good job of it,” re
marked Mr. Keeley.
Mr. Hanecy twitted the witness
about not succeeding in the Moxley
fight.
“Not the first .time, but we did the
last,” said Mr. Keeley.
“By electing a democrat.” answered
Mr. Hanecy.
"Ites, sir.”
Mr. Kohlsaat. a Chicago publisher,
has defined Lorimerlsm as a combina
tion of democrats and republicans.
Meant Public Plunder.
"Did you regard the defeat of Mox
ley by a combination of democrats and
republicans as McCormickism?”
"No, sir; 1 think Mr. Kohlsaat was
talking about a combination where the
cohesive force was public plunder.”

This statement was communicated
by cable t<i Minister Boutelle and the
following from him was received by
the Associated Press today:
"Berne. Switzerland, July 25.—1
never heard President Taft speak on
the situation, but once, when he ex
pressed no preference or objection to
the numerous candidates mentioned,
but hoped the republican caucus
would decide on a candidate and elect
one at once. This view was known to
all and I never wrote any one on the
•übject.

HAY CONTRACT LET
Animals at Division Camp Have Plen
tiful Supply, Says Normoyle.
Blds were opened this morning for
500 tons of hay, forage for the ani
mals of the division, and the contract
awarded to W. L. Edmondson of
Houston, at $12.35 per ton. The con
tract calls for upland prairie hay. The
expected shipment of seventeen cars
of hay arrived last night, which places
the quartermaster's department in ex
cellent shape so far as the hay supply
is concerned, according to Depot
Quartermaster Normoyle.
“The average consumption of hay
by the division horses is about four
car loads per day,” said Major Nor
moyle, “and since the division has
been here there has been no shortage
of the supply on hand, nor have the
animals suffered in any way.”
Showers Do Good.
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, July 25.
—Sutherland Springs was visited by
a light shower Monday about 5:30 p.
m.. which cooled the atmosphere and
settled the dust. Indications point to
mure showers which are badly needed.

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
NEW ORLEANS. July 25.—The
worst smash of the seasun in the cot
ton market came today without any
warning. The loss on the new crop
months, the principal object of attack

40 points or $2 a bale. August, in
which all that is left of the old crop
interest is centered, lost 30 points, or

FIRST FIGHT AGAINST
TAFT TO BE OPENED
Nebraska Insurgents Will Oppose En
dorsement of ITcsldent hy
Convention.
(BT THE ASSOCIATED TRESS,
LINCOLN. Neb.. July 25.—The Taft
and LaFollette factions in the Ne
braska republican organization enter
ed the state convention today without
having reached an agreement.
The Taft adherents, headed by the
Omaha delegation, announced that
they held absolute control of the situa
tion. saying the insurgents had not
more than 150 of the 855 votes. They
made known their purpose to ask for
frank endorsement of the president.
The insurgents admitted that they
could not control the convention, but
insisted that they would fight the
adoption of any endorsement of Presi
dent Taft.
A. W. Jeffries of Omaha, made an
earnest plea for harmony.
As showing the inconsistency of the
democrats, Mr. Jeffries said:
“When Cummins and LaFollette an
nounced their opposition to the Can
adian reciprocity treaty, the demo
cratic party and its press transferred
their batteries from encomiums and
praise into denunciation and ridicule
of them both.”

(BT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
ROME, July 25.—The condition of
Pope Pius who is suffering from a sore
throat is today less satisfactory. The

As the result of a series of confer
ences held today the prediction was
made that the senate on Thursday

day served notice, that the house
would not accept the LaFollette bill.
A caucus of democratic senators has
been called for tonight to consider
the wool tariff revision bill in the
hope of harmonizing the differences
of that legislation.

Talk Already of Holding Locaf
Option Election There —Ball
Calls Meeting, t
As the complete returns come in
from all parts of the state the major
ity against the prohibition amendment
is steadily mounting, the latest figures
received by The Light making it
10.985. This figure is not based on
complete returns, as reterns from six
counties are only partial. These are
Bailey, Dickens. Pecos, Presidio, Red
River and Armstrong. There is no
possible chance, however, that they
can reverse the result or even affect
it in a material way.
Zapata county, which made no re
port whatever until this morning,
came through with the announcement
that every vote in the county had been
cast against the amendment. The
votes totaled 276 with one small pre
cinct yet to be heard from. It was
announced, however, that it was be
lieved that all the voters in this pre
cinct would vote against the amend
ment.
Pros to Hold Meeting.
Chairman Ball of the state-widers
has issued a call for a meeting of the
executive committee of his organiza
tion to he held at Fort Worth on Sat
urday. July 29. The commitee will
consider the advisability of contesting
the election on the ground that fraud
was committed in several counties.
The charges of illegal voting are ex
tremely vague, however, and the com
mittee. in all probability, will discuss
the possibility of finding something
on which to base a contest rather than
' to decide upon inaugurating a contest
upon evidence already discovered.
The returns that are slowly drifting
in are all of a character to encourage
the antis, it was found during the
day that the full vote of Tarrant coun
ty gave the antis a majority of 1700,
which was 400 more than the previous
estimates.
In Houston, too. the state-widers re
ceived a shock when the full returns
from Harris county were received.
They showed, against the amendment
9332, for the amendment 3531.

Considerable agitation has develop

AUSTIN. Tex.. July 25.—Six thou
sand banners have gone to waste here
in Austin. The Austin negroes and
their visiting friends at the negro
Methodist conference now in session
here had prepared to march through
the streets of Austin last night cele
brating what they thought was a pro
hibition victory, carrying banners that
bore the prohibition ensign. All the
arrangements were made Saturday
night and Sunday morning, but the
later returns showed that the state
had defeated the prohibition amend
ment.
This prevented a parade of six thou
sand negroes on Congress avenue, each
bearing one of the banners announc
ing to the world that Texas "has gone
dry" and claiming the victory for the
Afro-Americans, which was to havs
been made.
