SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 6.—Master
Minds and master hands are now ai
. "work manipulating men and wealth
■ and Influence to stay the Helm,senate
' Investigating committee In Its start
1. lingly successful labor of tearing the
veil of secrecy and anonymity from "the
men behind" and "the men higher up"
in the Lorimer election scandal.
Springfield Is aflame with excitement
■over the revelations; made and dread
• over those to rome, and the "Interests"
:'; and the political powers which repre
sent them are laying mines to .stop
the Inquisition.
The attempt to "use" Lieutenant Gov
ernor Oglesby in this matter,was prac
tically abandoned when the press made
public the substance of the arguments
at last night's,, caucus, and it is be
, lieved the Lorimef'men in the house
' 'will not risk ah open conflict by fight
» Ing the appropriation for the conduct
!; of the Investigation. • ';'■ '.. .
More subtle means than these will
be raised to prevent the publication of
Q the remaining chapters of the story:
"How an Illinois Senator Is Made." by
I Edward Hiries. Nelson W.: Aldrlch, et al.
One of the dangers of those plans
Is to rush through the appropriation
bills next week and adjourn sine'die.
It Is asserted that this would leave
the committee-helpless and that wit
nesses could refuse to answer ■with im
punity, as there would be nobody In
existence with power to punish them.
Tilden Makes Vain Trip
• . SPRINGFIELD, HI.. April 6.— Edward
Tilden, president of the National pack-
Ing company of Chicago, who was yes
terday named by Clarence S. Funk,
;; general manager of the International
,i Harvester company as the. receiver of
; an alleged $100,000 .rimer slush fund,
.] for more. than an . hour' today walked
• about the raplto! building here, trying
; to deliver himself to the Helm bribery
committee, under a subpena, served up
on him In Chicago yesterday.
The Kubpena directed him to appear
before the Helm committee today. It
| was made out by the committee prior
to the taking of Clarence S. Funk's
testimony yesterday. ■ Through some
oversight the committee's process
server failed to notify Mr. Tilden of
the committee adjournment until next
Thursday that in consequence his pres
ence would not be necessary until that
time. As. soon as Mr. Tilden learned
! of this he returned to Chicago.
, . Lack of acquaintance in legislative
circles enabled Mr. Tilden to roam
through the State house without his
r presence being discovered by the re
. porters who were upon his trail. Per
sons to whom Tilden applied for infor
mation did not know him and he did
; not make his identity known.
[! Unable to find Chairman Helm, Mr.
; ; Tilden sought Senator Logan Hay. an
ji other member of the senate bribery
/committee. To the senator: he ex-
I plained that the subpena directed his
presence before the committee this aft
ernoon. Senator Hay explained the
error made In not notifying Tilden of
the adjournment, and released him un
til next Thursday.

STONE SAYS SENATE
IS FORCED TO ACT
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 6.— Senator Stone of Missouri
1 made the prediction at the White House today that the senate Would be
♦ compelled to investigate for the second time the charges of bribery in
t Lorimer's election.
X Senator Stone believes a ncrv committee will be appointed to prose
-1 cute the investigation.
"The testimony in the legislative investigation in Springfield is so
♦ ugly" said Stone, "that it seems to me congress must take notice of it, and,
♦ if lam not mistaken, the senate will take some action. The proprieties of
♦ the situation might influence the senate to -wait until the Illinois investigation
♦ v finished. Testimony produced in Springfield undoubtedly would be
X brought officially to the attention of the senate."
30,000 HEAR ABOUT
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Roosevelt Addresses Crowd in
Big Tacoma High School
Stadium
TACOMA, April <s.—Facing the
gflreatest audience he has addressed
during the present long tour, 30.000
or more men, women and children
massed on the stone benches of Ta
coma's great high school stadium. The
odore Roosevelt carried his doctrines
of good citizenship into the state of
Washington today, doctrines that were
received with eager applause by the
thousands to whom he talked.
Roosevelt's voice reached to the far
corners of the great stand. The ap
plause which marked his address
showed that no point in his address
was missed.
As Roosevelt mounted the stand pre
pared for him, a pistol shot sounded
the call for silence, and perfect quiet
followed. He opened his remarks with
an outline of his views on good cltlsen
ship. He said that the future of the
nation rested upon the honesty of the
individual citizen and his performance
of his duties at home or at the polls.
Of the women's suffrage adopted by
the state of Washington Roosevelt said
that the women of Washington owed a
great duty to all their sex. If they
proved that in exercising their fran
chise they did*not neglect their duties
at home, he said, they would elevate
womankind the world over.
SPEAKS OF FLEET CRUSE
Roosevelt dwelt at some length upon
his reasons for sending the battlsship
fleet around the world. The United
States must be ready for war, he said,
in order that there should be little fear
of war. Arbitration Roosevelt said,
must eventually displace war. but "we
are a long way from the mlllenlum
vet." he added.
Of the battleship cruise, Roosevelt
said:
'Friends, t am a groat believer In
peace. I have always done everything
I could for peace,, and nothing tended
more to promote peace than the voy
age of *tria*e battleships. I want to
see America a great factor for peace;
I want to see her become that factor
In wo ways; first, by absolutely de
clining to wrong the weak, and next,
by making it evident that she will not
submit to wrong by the strong. It is
exactly as bad for a nation to act
with brutality and greed and selflsh
nf-ss toward another as it is for an in
dividual to do. and when I was presi
dent 1 tried to carry on the foreign
relations of this country on exactly the
same plane as that in which in my pri
vate life I deal with any other citizen.
NATIONS LIKE PEOPLE
"Now cver>- one of us would b* ut
terly ashamed if his son was a brawler
or a bully and Insulted other men or
misbehaved himself in any way. 'We
would be utterly ashamed of the boy
who so acted and 'we would also be
utterly ashamed of any son of ours if
he was a boy whose face any other boy
could slap with impunity. Just so
with Uncle Sam. I want r>3 to be
scrupulously careful of the interest of
every other nation,-great or small, with
which he comes in contact.
"I favor every practical approach
that can be made toward the day when
we shall be able to substitute other
methods than that of war for settling
international disputes.
"I earnestly welcome such proposals
as those that have been made for pro
viding that any future difficulty be
tween ourselves and the British em
pire, for instance, shall be settled either
by mutual agreement or by the judg
ment of disinterested outsiders, and
indeed such a calamity as war between
America and the British empire is for-
I tunately unthinkable.
"But don't forget that as yet we are
a very long way from the mlllenlum.
I hope and believe that other nations
will always desire to treat us Justly,
but I think that it helps them out in
their resire to know that we have a
first class navy."

him greatly. About the same time, he
said. lie began having trouble with
his head and "something took hold of
his mind." He conceived the idea that
if he could put his foster parents out
of the way he would not be held re
sponsible" for their lomtw. The idea
mastered him.
lie rememberer! that he had seen Mrs.
Bazus place some rat poison upon a
shelf two years ago, and he tried this
on a pet dog. The dog promptly died.
Robert felt no twinges of conscience.
Remorse is unknown to him. He missed
the dog's companionship, but that was
all.
EXPERIMENTS FIRTHER
The effect of the poison upon the dog
led him to experiment further. Robert
purchased a box of "Rough on Rats" at
"Watson's pharmacy in Los Gatos, hav
ing It charged to his mother's account.
Both Bazus and his wife were ill at the
tim« and had an account at the drug
store. The mother's physician had pre
scribed hot water, and the boy was
called upon to prepare this and bring
it to her bedside several time* a day.
Systematically, on an average of
once In three days, the lad dropped a
pinch of the "Rough on Rats" into the
water, and the nearsighted patient took
this in a darkened room without sus
pecting trouble fortunately for her,
it transpired, her physician had pre
scribed a tonic which contained enough
iron to form a chemical reaction, ferric
arsenate, and this saved the woman's
life.
For several weeks Mrs. Bazus hov
ered near death and her caae baffled
one physician after another. Several
asked her if she habitually used
arsenic and her emphatic denials that
she ever used any drug puzsled them
the more.
RECEIVES BILL FOR POISOX
Late in March, when she received
her bill from the drug store, she ques
tioned one item. "Rough on Rats." 25
rents, and an investigation showed
that the boy had made the purchase.
The lad was confronted and confessed.
Mrs. Bazus consulted Attorney 11. A.
Hardlnge of Los Gatos and the matter
was brought to the attention of the
juvenile court authorities.
In his examination today by the pro
bation officer every effort was made to
compel Robert to give contradictory
statements, bwt he held out. An at
tenjpt was even made to compel him to
confess to the attempted poisoning of a
fictitious Los Gatos man to no avail.
Quietly and soberly, in perfect English
and with extreme courtesy, the boy
answered every question put to him.
He showed in many Instances the affec
tion he bears for his foster mother, de
spite his self-confessed attempts to end
her life. He declares he thoroughly
realizes the gravity of his position and
can only wait for his punishment. He
Is seemingly resigned and cares little
i what form his punishment might take.
