OARS ARE TELESCOPED. WA Victims Crushed Fire Ghohls Believed to Have to Have Robbed Bodies. Chfcago, Illinois. Thirteen peraons were killed and 15 or 20 were injured In a wreck on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad at Western Springs, a suburb of Chicago. Coming through a fog, with sup posedly a clear track a head, train No. 8, a fast mail, ran at full speed Into the rear of train No. 2, known as the Overland Express from Denver, which was standing on the track, telescop ing two* of the Overland's Pullman cars. Railroad officials refused to fix the blame until after the wreck had been Investigated thoroughly. Mrs. F. A. Wilcox, who was In charge of the tower from which the block signals were controlled, said she was certain the block was thrown against both trains. She collapsed af ter the accident and still is in a high ly nervous condition. Fire 8tartc In Wreck. All the dead except Engineer Brownson were taken from the rear coach of the Denver train. The en gine of No. 8 plowed through this car, halving it, and crushing the help less passengers, many of whom still were in their berths. On into the sec ond coach the engine continued. Half way through that car it veered to the left, derailing the sleeper. The engine was stripped when it stopped. Fire, starting from the jat lights in the sleepers, immediately broke out. Believed Bodlea Were Robbed. Members of the fire departments of Western Springs and La Grange were on the scene within a few minutes after the wreck and they put out the fire with lines of hose. Ghouls are believed to have robbed the dead before they reached the morgue in La Grange. More than a dozen large diamond sets were miss ing from Jewlery, and although most of the dead appeared to have been persons in comfortable circumstances, a ten-cent piece was the largest sum of money found on any of the bodieB. Coroner Hoffman promised a thor ough investigation of this feature of the accident and an interestate com merce commissioner was on the scene early, gathering material for an in vestigation. Coroner Hoffman ordered all the bodies embalmed immediately and early in the afternoon empanelled a July to Investigate the wreck. Another 8tory of Cause. Another story of how the wreck oc curred differed from that of Mrs. Wil cox. It was that No. 2, having been blocked by a signal, had sent back a brakeman to set torpedoes to warn No. 8.

LORIMER MAKES STATEMENT PROTEST8 HI8 INNOCENCE DE. 8PITE DECI8ION OF SENATE. Many Telegrame Received Offering the Sympathy of Friends in Illinois and Elsewhere. Washington, D. C. Defeated, hu milated and barred even from ever entering the senate chamber, Lorimer was not crushed and broken. To many friends who called he re newed his protestations of innocence —of the legality of his election. Lorimer, however, consented to make a brief statement to the news papermen regarding his future course of action. 'I must think things over and talk to my friends before I can say whether I shall go Into a political fight," he declared. "The place for me to make a fight, should I deter mine upon such a course, would be before the people. The candidates for the legislature, which will select my successor, have already been se lected by now. Consequently I can not go into the coming fight Thus I shall have to wait until two years hence. I have not looked that far ahead. Before reaching any decision on that point, I want a full opportun ity to talk with my friends back home." At Lorimer'B elbow were scattered sheaves of yellow paper. They were telegrams of sympathy, messages of hope, expressions of steadfast confi dence and allegiance from scores of friends in Illinois and from many other states. Henceforth he may be called Wil-, Ham- Lorimer, "Boss" Lorimer, "BUI" Lorimer, the "blonde boes"—not "Sen ator" Lorimer. It can not even be "former Senator" Lorimer. For hia expulsion from the senate by a vote of 55 to 28 carried the stigma that he was never legally elected and never entitled to his seat. Any political move he may make probably will be determined only ati ter conference with Elbrldge Hanecy} the Chicago lawyer who has been hiq defender throughout the attacks upon him. Lorimer takes the view that he may ask to have his case reopened on the ground of newly discovered evidence at any time he wishes. He feels that the senate, In reopening his case after it had once declared his title valid and established a precedent, cannot ignore him. In his closing words in the senate Saturday were that the "fight would go on and on while he lived." How he may propose to carry on the fight probably no but himself knows. nne WESTERN TRIP LATER, Colonel Declares He Has a Huge Mass of Work Ahead. Oyster Bay, New York.

C. By a vote of 65 to 28, the United States senator un seated William Lorimer, the Junior senator from Illinois and declared ids title to his seat Invalid. The end of the long fight to oust the senator came after six days of pro tracted debate in which Senator Lori mer himself had occupied the floor for three sessions, making an Impassioned defense of his election. The final vote was upon the resolu tion offered by Luke Lea, senator from Tennessee, declaring the Lori mer election by the Illinois legisla ture in 1909 invalid. The adoption of the Lea resolution carried with it the senate's verdict that "corrupt meth ods and practices were employed in the election of William Lorimer," making his election'invalid. The senators voting to unseat Lori mer were: Asherst, Bacon, Borah, Bourne, Briggs, Bristow, Brown. Bry an, Burton, Chamberlain, Clapp, Clarke of Arkansas, Crowford, Cullom, Cummins, Curtis, Dixon, Fall, Gardner, Gore, Gronna, Hitchcock, Johnson, Kenyon, Kern, La Follette, Lea, Lodge, Martin, Martlne, Meyers, Nelson, New Jands, O'Gorman, Overman, Page, Poindexter, Pomerene, Rayner, Reed, Root Sanders, Shively, Simmons, Smith of Arizona, Smith of Georgia, Smith, of Michigan, Smith of South Carolina, 8tone, Sutherland, Swanson, Townsend, Watson, Williams, Works. Those voting for Lorimer were: Bailey, Bradley, Brandegee, Burnham, Catron, Clark of Wyoming, Crane, Dil lingham, Fletcher, Foster, Galllnger, Gamble, Guggenheim, Johnston, Jones, Lippitt, McCumber, Oliver, Paynter, Penrose, Perkins, Richardson, Smith of Maryland, Smoot Stephenson, Thornton, Tillman, Wetmore. Of the senators voting against Lori mer, twenty-seven were republicans and twenty-eight democrats. In the two years that Senator Lori mer's election has been under fire it probably has furnished more sensa tions than any other case of its kind. Mr. Lorlmere was elected by the* Illi nois legislature on May 27, 1909, after prolonged deiadloek In which the names of more than one hundred can didates, democrats and republicans, had been presented unsuccessfully. However, it was not until nearly a year later that the validity of his elec tion was challenged when the now fa mous "confession" of Charles A White, a member of the Illinois legis lature, was published, charging .that he had received 91,000 from Lee O'Neill Brown, democratic leader of the Illinois house of representatives In return for his vote for Senator Lori: mer and also $900 as a share of a "general corruption fund." Then in rapid succession followed a sensational series of "confessions" by other members of the legislature. These confessions, however, were later modified or repudiated with the excep tion of White's. The other men as serted they had received the money out of a general fund and not In re turn for their Lorimer votes, and, In same cases, charged intimidation by Cook county,authorities to wring the confessions from them. Lee O'Neill Browne was charged with distributing "Lorimer Money" but was acquitted by a jury and other indictments were quashed. Charges of jury bribing in the Browne case were unsustained In court. A committee of the United States senate reported that the charges of corruption wer^ not proved and held Senator Lorimer's title to his seat valid. Immediately afterward the: Illinois senate appointed a committee of its own. to Investigate and this committee reported' that Lorimer would not have been elected without bribery and corruption and the Illi nois senate by a vote of 39 to 10 In dorsed that view. In the meantime Mr. Lorimer was vindicated in the United States sen ate, 46 to 40, with five senators*not voting The quota of senators was $2, with,one vacancy in Colorado.

Sweeping re ductions in express rates averaging, in general, approximately lo per cent drastic reforms in regulations and practices and comprehensive changes in the methods of operation, are pre scribed in a report made, public by the interstate commerce commission of its investigation into the business of the thirteen great* express compa nies of the United States. Dealing with the Identity of interest between the various companies, the report finds that while these compa nies are separate legal entities, "it is of interest to regard this fact that by stock ownership and otherwise they are so interlaced. Intertwined, and In terlocked that it is with difficulty we can trace any one of the greater com panies as either wholly Independent In Its management or the agency of a single railroad system. So that while these companies operate separately and compete with each other for traffic, the express business may be said to be almost a family affair. An interesting genealogical tree in fact, might be drawn showing a common an cestry in all of the larger companies. And while many names may be used to designate these companies, it is within the fact to say that aside from the operations of the minor and dis tinctively railroad express companies, the express business of the United States Is managed by not more than three groups of "interests." poUs, lllnn.
