DAY BUSY FOR LAWYERS Brown Is Brought Into One Court While Argument in His Behalf Is Being Made In Another $15, 000 Ball Is Forfeited. CHICAGO, June 7. Lee O'Neill Browne, indicted on charges of brib ery in connection with the election of William Lorlmer as United States Sen ator, was finally brought to trial be fore Judge McSurely in the Criminal Court late today after the defense had exhausted every means' within its power to delay the case. "When court adjourned at 4:30 the state had ten dered four prospective jurors to the defense. The trial will be resumed at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Despite a technical fight by his at torneys. Browne was brought into Judge McSurely's court shortly before noon on a forthwith capias. The trial then began in a perfunctory manner, but none of Browne's counsel would enter court and all remained in an ante room. Judge McSurely finally ad journed court until after noon. Day Busy for Lawyers. The busy day opened when Judge Kickham Scanlan denied application of the defense for a writ of habeas corpus. The arguments had been made yester day and the Judge delivered his opin ion immediately after opening court. The main contention of the defense was that state Legislators, while vot ing in a joint assembly to elect a United States Senator, were not state officals but Federal officials and there fore amenable only to the Federal courts. In his decision Judge Scanlan an swered this argument by quoting the United States Constitution and statutes governing the election of Senators. Legislators Not Federal Officials. "The National Government may have the power to regulate the pro cedure of certain state officials with out in any way changing their charac ter or their identity from state to Fed eral officials," concluded Judge Scan lan. Counsel for the defense waited until State's Attorney Wayman and his as sistants had left the courtroom and then ex-Judge Elbridge Hanecy filed a petition for an appeal from the deci sion. While Mr. Hanecy was making his argument for the appeal. Judge McSurely was waiting for Browne in his court to begin the trial. When Browne did not appear. Judge McSurely issued a forthwith capias for him and declared his original bond of $15,000 forfeited. When it - was ex plained that Browne was still in Judge Scanlan's court awaiting a decision on the appeal Judge McSurely ordered service on the capias delayed. Browne Surrendered to Sheriff. The forfeiture of the original bond meant nothing, as Browne had been surrendered to the Sheriff when the application for the habeas corpus writ was made and had been released on a new bond. By ordering the bond for faited. Judge McSurely showed that he took no cognizance of the habeas cor pus action. After listening to Mr. Hanecy's argu ments for some time. Judge Scanlan Bald that he would give his decision on the application for an appeal at 2 P. M. At that hour Judge Scanlan an nounced that he would not grant the appeal from his decision on the habeas corpus writ. The defense then made motions for an appeal, leave to file a bill of exceptions, leave to file an as signment of errors and leave to file a bill of exceptions with the Illinois Su preme Court, but all were denied. Browne and Accuser Meet. Browne was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff and taken to the Crim inal Court for the opening of his trial. Charles A. White, Browne's principal accuser, and Browne met at the en trance to the Criminal Court building, but neither noticed the other. Before the examination of the venire men was started, W. S. Forrest, for the defense, made a formal motion that Browne be discharged from custody. Judge McSurely denied the motion. A motion to quash the capias was also denied. The defense then asked for a delay until June 20, but that was de nied. While the veniremen were being ex amined, a new bond for $15,000 was signed by Browne.

The American Association of Medical Examiners concluded their meeting today by electing officers and indorsing the movement for a department of public health with a physician in the Presi dential Cabinet.

TROOPS SENT TO SCENE King and Queen Will Direct Relief Work Personally Province of ATellino, Center of Disaster, Has Suffered Before. ROME, June 7. Great apprehension has been caused again by seismic dis turbances showing that ' the zone af fected by the earthquake shocks to day is a vast one, embracing practi cally the whole of Southern Italy, as well as a portion of Tuscany and Ve nitia to the north. Some reports estimate the number of dead at 50, and of injured at sev eral hundred. It Is feared that many are buried in the ruins of buildings thrown down at Calitri. The district in which the most se rious damage occurred extends for only about 50 miles around Mount Vulture, in the province of Avelllno. This region has suffered much in the past from earthquake shocks and in 1851 800 persons were killed. Government Quick to Act. - The government has taken hold of the situation with promptitude and although the earthquake occurred dur ing the night military and civil au thorities were soon hard at "work- giv ing aid to the injured, preparing shel ter for the homeless and bending their energies to the re-establishment of order. Premier Luzzattl received word of the disaster at 5 o'clock in the morn ing, less than two hours after the oc currence of the quake, and at once communicated the news to the King. The latter decided to leave immediate ly for the district. He intended to go alone, but Queen Helena insisted upon Joining him. The King thought that this was riot necessary, as the situation at Avallino was not to be compared with that at Messina, where their majesties spent several days in alleviating the distress of the people. Queen Insists on Going. In reply to the King's protests. Queen Helena retorted : "As my presence is necessary at all festivities it must not lack where the people die and weep. In the South Ital ians suffer. Therefore I must go. It is my place as a woman and a mother." The King and Queen were cheered by crowds at the station as they hurried to the train and carefully inspected the medical and other supplies. As soon as news of the disaster was received here. Premier Luzzatti ordered a concentration of the troops in the zone where the -shocks occurred. The Premier took personal direction of the work. He also sent the general inspector of health and a corps of medical men with ambu lances to the scene. The Prefect of Avelllno has sent urgent messages to the government asking for $2000 for immed iate uee. Money Forwarded at Once. Premier Luzzattl at once forwarded $10,000 to the Prefect. The Minister of Public Works left for the scene of the earthquake, accom panied by the officla's of his department. The government has decided to ask Parliament for an appropriation of $100, 000 for Immediate relief. Damage is reported to have been done In Salerno, Reggio, Capu, Catanzaro and Paola. A report received from Avelllno de scribed the narrow escape from death at the hands of a superstitious mob of a party of American clergymen who were in the province when the earth quake occurred. Some of the panic stricken populace believed the calamity was due to the presence of the clergy men, and attacked the latter with the avowed purpose of hanging them. Five persons were killed In the village of San Sele, province of Potenza, in the compartment of Basilicata. Every house in the village was slightly damaged. Fatalities are reported at San Sossio, Chianche, Castelbaronia and San Sele. The greatest effect, however, was felt at Calltrl. a town of 33,000.
