SAYS LORHR
WON SEAT BY
HONEST VOTES
Senator Bailey of Texas Talks in
Senate Today in Support of
New Member From
Illinois
SEES DANGER IN OUSTING HIM
Argues it Would Permit Dishonest
Faction of Legislature to Disable
Honest Majority in Choos
, ing Senators,
Washington, D. C, Feb. 13. Sena
tor Bailey of Texas today defended
Iorimcr's title to a Beat In the senate.
The Texas senator's remarks were de
voted largely to the substantiation of
his contention that a sufficient num
ber of votes must be shown to have
been bought to affect the result, un
less It la proven that the official whose
flection Is challenged personally par
ticipated In the offense.
Senators Root, Cummins and Borah,
opponents of Lorlmer, were each In
turn requested to stand up and ex
press their opinions as to tho legal
soundness of this proposition. The
senator admitted that if it is conclu
sively shown an officer affected, en
couraged or sanctioned bribery, then
his election is void without reference
to the extent of the bribery.
He denied, however, that Liorimer
had any knowledge of bribery , in his
behalf, lie then proceeded to show
by mathematical calculation that even
if the seven alleged bribed votes were
not counted for Lorlmer, he still had
been legally and properly chosen and
liad a clear majority. Ho denied the
legality of any proposition to declare
invalid tho entire election becauso of
tho alleged tainting of a dlanonesi
taction. Declaring law as he had pro
pounded it would prove to be the "best
protection agaliiBt the baleful influ
ence of corruptlonists in our politics,"
1 alley said that "no matter now hon
est the gentlemen on the other side
tuny be, it is still true that In striving
to reverse the precedents of the senate
and overrule tho courts of tho country
they aro seeking to' establish a doc
trine that will permit a dishonest fac
tion of a legislature to disable an hon
est majority from choosing a senator
to represent their state."
Curtis Talks on Direct Vote.
Washington. I. C, Feb. 13. Senator
Curtis today addressed the senate in
opposition to the revised resolution for
a constitutional amendment for the
election of senators by direct vote. All
throuKh'hls speech Curtis hurled at
tacks at his colleague, Bristow, for ap
proving the amended resolution. Cur
tis said he was in favor of a constitu
tional nmendtnent looking to the elec
tion of senators by direct vote, but he
is not willing that it should be amend
ed so Congress Bhould give up all Its
riKhts to mako or alter the regula
tions of a Btato for the election of
senators.
Pension Dill Reported Out.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 13. The
senate committee on pensl is today
voice", to report favorably t Sullo
way general pension bill, wnlih al
ready has passed tho House. It ln
ti'hkoh the general pension roll about'
lirty million dollars a year. The vote
was eight to three, the minority be
ing MeCum.ber, eJorc and Taliaferro.
As J assod by the Hou.e the Sullo
way bill Increases the monthly pen
sion e.r veteran- of 62 from twelve to
fifteen dollars; C", twelve to twenty;
70, fifteen to twenty-five, and 75 or
more, twenty to thirty-six.
The Senate committee, 6 to C, . re
duced tho proposed maximum allow
ance from thirty-six dollars to thirty
ehllars.
As there are estimated to be 63,461
veterans who would be a fleet eel by
Uii amendment at tho present time
the change would decrease the annual
cost a little more than $4,S00,000. On
a statement mado by Secretary of the
Interior Bnlllnger, the cost of tho Sul
loway bill as passed by the House
would be $45,183,468, but the commit
toe found there would have to be ndd
fd to this amount about $4,000,000, to
which a limited number of veterans
would be entitled under the ge-nc ral
laws, increasing the total to about
$.".0,000,000 a year.
Its friends do not anticipate an easy
tlmo passing the measure through the
Senate, especially as It has been Init
iated. President Taft would veto it If
It were presented to him for his signa
ture. .

Arrangements For Summer Practice
Work are Completed.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 13. Target
practice by the United States Atlantic
fleet will begin April 1 off the capes
of the Chesapeake and last about
seven dajs. The ships will then be
docked and overhauled in their home
navy yards.
The fleet will reassemble by May 1
and from then until the flrst of July
win be held the most extensive opera
tions of tho divisional commands.
One division will have its base in
Narragansett bay and operate between
Cape Cod and New York.
The second division will maintain a
base In Hampton Roads and operate
between New York and tho southern
drill grounds.
The third division will have bases
at Pcnsaeola and Key West and op
erate in tho Gulf ef Mexico.
The fourth division will maintain
Its ht adquarte rs in Cape Cod bay and
operate off tho New Lngland coast
north of Cape Cod.
More attention than usual will be
paid to the resistance of torpedo at
tack which the naval strategists ap
preciate as something which must be
reckoned with. In fact, the designs
of the new battleships to be author
ized at this session of Congress will
probably include, It is said, armor of
Increased thickness to protect tho un
derwater portions.
In July the ships will probably ren
dezvous In Cape Cod bay for man
euvers, battle drills, torpedo exer
cises, etc. It Is now planned to have
the fleet augmented by four new ships
the scout cruisers and the torpedo
fleet.
The naval militia of the Atlantic
cejnst stat s will be with the command
for 10 or 12 das from July 15. The
augmentation of the fleet on July 1
by the reporting or the New Jersey,
the Maine, the Missouri, the Ohio and
the Utah will result In a flVet of 21
ships, expected to prove the largest or
ganization of Its sort in the world.
The Florida is not now expected to
be ready to join until fall, until which
time the Ithode Island will probably
remain with the fleet.
Cn Sept. 15 the divisions of tho At
lantic fleet will go to their home yards
for two weeks docking, after which a
cruise Is probable In divisions to Eu
ropean waters.

HONOR MEMORY
Of LINCOLN AT
L
Attorneys W. J. Galbraith and P.
H. O'Brien Pay Glowing Trib-I
,utcs to the Great Email- ' ' ; .
, cipator.
HOLD PATRIOTIC SERVICES
Much Interest Manifested in Addresses
Delivered at the Calumet Con-,
gregational Church Last
Everting.
Patriotic services were held at the
Calumet ' Congregational' church last
evening in commemoration of the an
niversary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coln.- Special music was rendered by
the choir and glowing tributes were
palj, to the memory of the great
emancipator by Attorneys W. J. Clal
bralth and P. If. O'Brien.
The address by Attorney P. II.
O'Brien in brief was as follows:
"Great men grow greater by the
lapse of years." The figure of Abra
ham Lincoln looms ever larger as wc
recede from the stirring era that pre
ceded his tragic death. His unique
career has been the theme of great
poets. The Interesting and moving
story of his life and tragic death has
Inspired great orators In every civi
lized land. It la therefore extremely
difficult to say anything about our
first great martyr president that has
not been better said before. However,
wo tan always find Inspiration and
human interest, not only in his life
and character, but in the stirring
events in which he participated.
"Lincoln was not of the privileged
class. He was born of the people. In
Infancy -his energetic soul was nour
ished by poverty. In youth he learned
through toll the love of liberty nnd re
spect for the rights of man. Thero was
never a time during his minority when
Lincoln was not in contact with the
stern realities of life."
"While Lincoln was a hater of In
justice and slavery, he was not an agi
tator. He was not in any manner re
sponsible for the growth of the anti
slavery sentiment. Slavery had been
recognized and secured In the national
constitution.
( "When the war broke out, Lincoln
rose to the very heights of true great
ness. With his mellow humor he main
tained the solidarity of his cabinet.
He curbed the Jealously of his gen
erals. He promoted the efficient, and
removed the Incompetent. Every act
of his administration was fortified by
Justice, and tempered by mercy. In
tho darkest hour of the nation's life,
he was recognized by high and low as
the father of his people. Although Lin
coln was not originally an abolition
ist, his name will be forever associat
ed with tho emancipation of the
slaves. Although he did not move as
fast in tho direction of emancipation
as the extremists hoped, yet he moved
as fast as circumstances would per
mit. "There are few more tragic events
since this sad world began, than the
"deep damnation of his taking off" In
tho hour of the union's triumph. The
shadow of death had fallen upon the
pathetic figure of tho liberator, but
the stain of slavery was forever blot
ted out from tho western continent.
Wo cannot review tho drama of the
civil war without reflecting that the
beneficiaries of vested interests have
never surrendered their privilege to
tyrannize and oppress without a
Ftruggle. Lincoln had the foresight to
observe that when the slave power
was conquered .the strugglo for bet
ter nnd freer conditions would not be
ended. He saw with undlmmed vision
tho rise of unrestrained capitalism, as
a partial result of, and sequence to
the Titanic civil war. He was not of
the number of those who maintained
that capital and labor should be
placed upon an equality.
"While Lincoln's name will always
be associated with the emancipation of
union, he will always be loved for his
union, he will always be loved for rls
kindness and his mercy, and his deep
sympathy for the cause of humanity.
Tho philosopher will admire his
statesmanship In the face of over
whelming difficulties. The patriot will
praise his devotion to the union of
the states, but above and beyond all,
he will be revered as tho president,
sprung from tho ranks of the tollers;
the child of the boII, rising by the
prestige of his own deeds, through the
nobility which began and ended with
himself, to a place with tho Immortal
leaders of mankind, In the upward and
onward strugglo of the race."
Mr. Galbraith said In part:
"On occasions like this we again
consecrate ourselves to the task of
carrying forward the work bo nobly
commenced by the fathers who have
builded so firm and broad and strong
the foundation of our institutions of
popular government. And as the mar
ir.er, after days of gale and clouds and
storm, embraces the first opportunity
to observe sun and stars to determine

REBEL OFFICER
IS REAL HERO
AFTER MURDER OF AGED NON
; COMBATANTS BY MEXICAN
. FEDERALS, HE SAVES
SOLDIER PRISONER.
Mulata, Mexico, lYb. 7, via Marfa,
Texas, Feb. 12. In a two days' fight
with the Insurrec teis, Mexic an Fe deral
scMdiers under General Luqe, sustained
a loss of ten to twenty killed nnd with
drew to OJlnagft. 1'our used men were
slain by the Federal soldiers Ht a
farmhouse near Mulata and many
Americans, ufter' viewing their bodies.
Joined In a "protest to Washington.
The Insurgents fought from behind
breastworks, stont heaps and trees.
Four old non-combatants were found
In a farm house near Mulata when the
Federals flrst approached the town.
One . was ninety 4'ears old. another
blind, niHl anothera cripple. The In
surreetos found these old men, with
their hands tied be hind their bac ks,
lying ridled with bullets, their beads
crushed, and one was slashed across
the face by a sabre. A number of
Americans vlowed the bodies and sev
eral signed an' affidavit describing the
Incident. This sworn statement will
be sent to Washington.
A dramatic Incident followed tht
discovery of 'the four murdered men.
A government soldier had been found
lying wounded in the- field. He had
been cared for and fed. When the
murdered men .were found several In
surree tos made a rush for the plaza. In
Mulata to take" revenge by killing this
wounded soldier. Ort'gn, the Insur
recto commander, rode into the plaza
nnd called a halt "My children." he
said, "I've bad my home laid In ruins
and wife and babies driven naked and
starving into the hill, but I'm not yet
ready to kill an unarmed, wounded
man." The mob's rage was quieted and
only one ban, son rf one of the victims
stepped forward to take the Federal
soldier's Ute. Ortega drew bis pis
tol. "It would break my heart to have
to kill a comr.-de," lie said, "but we
shall not bo murderers like the sol
diers of Diaz." The wounded Federal
soldier was picked up mumbling his
thanks and removed to a shanty.
In thi two days'-. baUle the Insur
rectos lost one niii;i'"kllled, nnd one
wounded. A conservative estimate
places the Federal dead at 2".
American soldiers and Federal offi
cers, guarding the American side of
the Rio (Jrande, were repeatedly fired
upon by the Mexican Federal soldiers.

President Tart addressed the open
ing session ef the conference which

tho Pan-American Union, formerly
known as the International Bureau of
American Bepublics. - The Pan-American
Union made the arrangements
for the conference and Its director,
John Barrett, occupied the chair at
the initial session.
In one respect the attendance at the
opening differed noticeably from that
at almost any national or Internation
al conference that has met In the na
tional capital In yearB. This was the
small representation of so-called pub
lic men. Among the five or six hun
dred delegates present there were
scarcely a dozen men whose faces or
even whose names are farnillar to the
general public. The President, one
or two members of his cabinet and
several congressmen were on hand to
take part In the opening proceedings,
but tho main body of delegates was
composed of business men and men
who have made trade and commerce
their life study.
Welcoming Talks Today,
Commercial organizations in nearly
all the largo cities of the United States
were represented. Diplomats and
consular officials were there to tell the
results of their observations on the
conditions and possibilities of trade in
the southern republics where they
have resided and these republics In
turn were represented by their diplo
matic and consular officers accredited
to tho United States.
The opening session of the confer
ence was devoted to welcomes and
responses and to addresses outlining
the purpose s of the gathering. Sena
tor Boot of New York and Bepresent
atlve Champ Clark of Missouri were
among the speakers, as was also John
H. Farrell, the new president of the
United States Steel Corrxiratlon.
Tomorrow morning the real business
of the conference will be taken up In
ernest. Formalities will be dispens
ed with and the delegates will Indulge
In the freo interchange of views on a
wide range of subjects relating to
Pan-American trade and its develop
ment. Tho main subject will be dis
cussed from all viewpoints. Not only
will the opportunities of the United
States to extend the sale of Its pro
ducts In Lntln America be considered,
but the export trade of the Latin Am
erican republics to the United States
likewise will re-ceive attention.
Well Posted Men to Talk.
Among the matters relating to Inter
national commerce that will be
brought up for discussion during the
next four days are steamship routes,
samples, credits, trade marks, banking
facilities, packing, advertising, cata
logues, tariff regulations, and the laws
of tho various countries governing
salesmen and samples. ,
Charles M. Pepper, who shares with
John Barrett the reputation of being
probably tho best-posted man In the
United States on everything relating
Mexico and the republics of South and
Central America, will tell the confer
ence of tho commercial beneilts that
the west coast of South America may
expec t to reap from the opening of the
Panama canal. Henry L. Janes,, w ho
like Mr. Pepper Is one of the commer
cial experts of the Department of
State, will also speak on the commer
cial situation on the west coast, with
especial reference to the countries of
Peru and Chile. Mack II. Davis, an
other prominent representative of the
State Department,, will speak on the
trade relations with Latin America In
general. , ,

ister to Argentine, will tell the confer

her commercial rivals, Great Britain

TO PAY EXPENSES
OF PANAMA CANAL
COL. GOETHALS HAS PLAN FOR
SUPPLYING AND REPAIR.
ING VESSELS IN
TRANSIT.
Washington. D. C, Feb. 13 The op
erations of the Panama canal when
comple ted, as a business proposition
was suggeste-d by Col. (le-orge W.
Goethals, chief engineer of the canal
in a speech before the national Geo
graphic society. Col. Goethals ex
pressed tho belief that the canal can
be operated not only so as to pay op
erating expenses but also f as grad
ually to repay the co.-t of tts construc
tion. He proposes that the canal author
ities be permit tevl to sell coal and oil
is fuel to steamers and urges also
that the marine shops now at Gorgna
be moved to a point on the coast
where they will be of use in making
repairs to vessels using the canal. A
dry dock will also be needed there
for commercial purposes, he said. To
carry out this policy, however, legis
lation will bo necessary.
"In whatever lisht the Panama can
al Is viewed." Col. Goethals added, "it
will have paid for Itself, if in time of
war or threatened war, a concentra
tion of the fleet Is effected without
that long, tedious, uncertain route fol
lowed by the Oregon. It will practi
cally double the efficiency of the fleet
and notwithstanding the fact that we
aro a peaceful nation, our outlying
possessions make the Panama canal
a military necessity and It must so
bo recognized."

France Never Forgava Man Who Sur
rendered to Germans.
Tarls, Feb. 13. Today saw the cen
tennary of the birth of Marshal Baz-
alne, who played a most conspicuous
part in the history of the last half of
the nineteenth century, In the New
World as well as in the Old. Born at
Versailles, Feb. 13. 1811. Bazaine serv
ed brilliantly in Algeria, and in Spain
against the Carllsts. He commanded
the foreign legion in the Crimean war
and a few years later he was in the
Italian campaign, where he won dis
tinction at the battle of Solferlno. Ha
nt only took part in the expedition
to Mexico, but he was made commander-in-chief
of the army there In
1863. But notwithstanding this
brilliant record of service for his
country the one hundredth anniver
sary of the famous marshal's birth
was allowed to pass absolutely un
noticed. For France has never for-'
gotten nor forgiven the fact that It
was! Bazalne who surrendered Meti
to the Germans through unprejudic
ed historians are generally agreed that
the marshal was but a victim of the
weakness, pride and Incapacltyyif Na
poleon III. For his surrender 'of Mets,
Bazalne was tried and condemned to
death, but this sentence was changed
to Imprisonment for 20 years. He was
sent to the Island of Marguerite, off
the southern coast of France, from
which he finally made his escape and
got safely to Madrid, where he spent
his remaining days.
