Ohio Senator Make VlRoroiie Itcplj
lo flallcj'n Allack on Cullom.
Direct Klevllon of Senator
Oppo-ed hjr I .od.fr.
WASmXilTOS, Feb. . A dermse of
CuJ'nm cf Illinois formed the most
striking part of an .MrM made In
the yrnate today by Theodora Hurton.
of Ohio. In opposition lo the report of
the committee on privileges and elec
tions by whl.-h 1-orlmT of Illinois was
exonerated from the charge of obtain
ing his seat by m'ini of bribery.
Th reference to Cullom. who Is
I.ormr's colleague. H called out by
a statement mai'e by Halley of Tezaa,
In ti e Senate during the esrltement In
cident to the close of Hoofs arraign
ment cf I-orlmer last Friday. Speak
ing of the existence for years of a
JrkM)l" fund In connection with the
sessions of the Illinois legislature.
Haller. who supports I-orlmer. sajd that
the mean used to elect Lorlmer were
the same a had been employed In tha
election of Cullom.
Burton did not dwell Ion on tha
Texas Senator's Inferences. He said:
Cullom Fleeted by People.
"The Senator from Texas, no doubt,
unwittingly dM an Injustice to the
senior Senator from Illinois. In re
marks last Friday In averring that If
Mr. Irlmer'e election Is Invalid, so Is
that of the senior Senator. One con
clusive answer to any such groundless
Infrrence la the method of the election
of Mr. Cullora. He waa nominated ai
a primary by a majority of So.000 votes,
and It would be most unjust to him
to compare the circumstances under
which he was chosen with the corrupt
and dishonest methods prevalent In tha
LegMIature lrl0."
The Ohio Senators discussed the alle
gations against Lorlmer largely on
legal grounds. Without attempting to
unravel the testimony, he proceeded
upon tha theory that certain facts had
been proved and then undertook t
show through precedents established
In tha United States and Great Britain
that tha (lection by the Illinois Leg
islature had been tainted and there
lore was Invalid.
Bribery Taint Election.
Among other points discussed was
that as to' whether the receipt of
money after the casting of a vote con
stituted bribery and It was held that
It did.
"If. said the speaker, "those a ho
received such money sfere free from
corrupt Intent they certainly would
not have received money after the
votes Were east. It Is Impossible to
separata the receipt of money after the
election from other facts and circum
stances In the conduct of those mem
bers which go to maka up one dis
honest transaction." ,
Meeting tha contention that tha
evidence given by brlbetakera cannot
be considered In connection with the
ease, tha Ohio Senator declared that
no such rule In law now prevailed.
- Bribetaking Evidence Essential.
-It belongs rather to a crude state
of society." he proceeded. "To main
tain It would mean that tha most
serious offenders against the public
must go unpunished. ( It Ignores tha
difference In the comparative guilt of
those engaged In the same unlawful
enterprise. It regards the man guilty
cf a crime as absolutely an outcast,
and disregards alike his reformation
and the welfare of society. It closes
the door of repentance for the crim
inal, even for him who has been misled
by the superior Influence of others
Into doing something against which his
better Judgment rebels."
Rjrtin did not accept the rtstement of
lArlmer's frtrnde that. If there haJ been
bribery, that gentleman had not au
thorised Summing up hla conclusions. Burton
found It "perfectly evident that fraud
waa so rampant and d!ahon-ety so wide,
spread In this election that It l im
poeelMe to separate the aound rotes
from tha unsound votes.
Returning to his defense of Cullom.
Burton declared that In tl'e esteem of
the people of hia state. Cullom stood
clae to Abraham rjncoln.
Hurton iro referre I to the frauds In
Adams County. O.. saying ti:aL while he
did not dere to extenuate those frauds,
the Adaroa County peopta still were a
sturdy people who were showing them
selves capable of correcting their own
martakea. Ha expressed tba opinion that
they scarcely had realised what they
were doing.
IXMlge Against Direct Election.
Burton's speech waa preceded by one
from Lodge urging resistance to the
utmost against transfer from Congress to
tha state Legislatures of control over

CHICAGO, Feb. . The snow storm

ly tying up streetcar and elevated train
service, passed on to the east late to
day. The storm center moved eastward to
Indiana and the United States "Weather

$1,000,000. Surface transportation com

Special efforts had been made to pro

when several hundred employed in the

QUICK LUNCH CARS
RAILWAY'S SCHEME
PASSENGERS .WILL PAY LESS
FOR EATING.
Officials of Hairiman Lines Consld
er Adopting Cafeteria Serv
ice on Trains.
CHICAGO, Feb. 6. (gpecial.) Officials
of the Harriman group of railroads are
considering the advisability of adopting
a new scheme for furnishing meals to
passengers by operating quick lunch can?
with cafeteria service on their various
trains.
"There are two chief reasons why a
scheme of that" kind would be generally
beneficial to the public," said W. B. Scott,
assistant director of maintenance and
operation.
"With quick lunch cars attached to a
train, passengers will be enabled to eat
at any hour during the day.
"There is also another point to be
considered. There are many travelers
who feel that they cannot afford to pay
the prices charged for food in the dining
cars. This Is especially true when a man
19 traveling with his family. The lunch
car will afford an opportunity for this
class of tourists to get wholesome food
at less coot that in a dining-car."

Mr. Cutts asked the ticket agent if
the 10:40 o'clock train leaving here tha
night before the game, which was be
tween the University of Washington
and Oregon Agricultural College, would
get him to Portland In time to make
connections. He was assured that It
would. Otherwise, he said In court,
he would have taken an earlier train.
But the Northern Pacific coal was bad

in this city last Saturday evening, Mrs.
Alfred L. Geddes found a $200 diamond
ring. Mr. Geddea. who Is County Sur

had allowed the ring to slip from his
finger Into the paper containing tha

have been lost that way he had begun
calling up customers whom he remem
bered to have made recent purchases

Biggest Oregon District Decide
Court Too Hard for Five.
Selling Wants One Extra.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb.
6. (Special.) Two additional State
Circuit Judges for the Multnomah
County Circuit Court, no increase in
the jurisdiction of the Justice Court
and number of Magistrates, Increases
in salaries of five deputies In District
Attorney Cameron's office and no In
crease of salary for Constable Wein
berger, were voted tonight at a special
meeting of the Multnomah County dele
gation. Blgclow announced that he would op
pose on the floor of the House the' bill
enlarging the judiciary of the Circuit
Court, but the decision at tonight's
meeting means undoubtedly thqt the
bills for the additional offices and in
creased salary will be granted by the
Legislature on the recommendation of
a majority of the delegation.
Increase in the number of Circuit
Court Judges was discussed at some
length. Senators Joseph, Nottingham,
Selling, Locke and Malarkey and Rep
resentatives Ambrose, Amine, Bryant,
Cole and Cottel finally voted for two
additional Judges. Senator Kellahcr
and Representatives Fouts, Clyde and
Blgelow opposed the Increase. Senator.
AJben , and Representatives Abbott,
Chatten, Clemens and Collins were de
tained by other committee meetings
and did not meet with the delegation.
Fouts Doesnt' Sec Overwork.
In opposing two additional judges,
Fouts argued that the present Judges
were not overburdened with work, and
that if they applied themselves with the
same diligence of tho average practi
tioner they would be able to handle all
the work coming before them. He con
tended, however, that the Jurisdiction of
the Justice Court should be enlarged to
the level of a District Court and one or
two District Judges provided, that all
petty suits might be tried before such
a court with appeals available only to
the Supreme Court.
The creation of such a court was not
regarded legal by Senator Maluxkey and
other members of the delegation In view
of the amendment adopted by the people
last November, and the District Court
suggestion did not receive serious con
sideration. Sending for Help Proposed.
Kellaher insisted that the members of
the present court should heed the In
junction made by the Legislature two
years ago, when provision was made that
when tho business of the Multnomah
County Circuit Court became congested,
its Judges should summon to their aid
unemployed Circuit Judges from other
sections of the state. He opposed all in
creases In either the Circuit or Justice
Courts.
Senator Malarkey argued that If there
were any judges in the outside d'striots
that had nothing to do. their offices
should be abolished and additional Judges
provided for Multnomah County, where,
he maintained, tbey are needed.
President Selling said he had come to
the meeting with the feeling that one
additional Circuit Judge would be suf
ficient at this time, but he was willing
to accept the concensus of opinion of
a majority of the delegation and sup
port the request for two.
All Deputies In Favor.
There was scarcely any division In
the delegation regarding the bill In
creasing the salaries of deputies in
the District Attorney's office. It waa
voted to increase the salary of Chief
Deputy Fitzgerald from $1800 to $2400
per annum. Three of the other five
deputies will receive $1800 per annum
! and the other two $1200 per annum. At
present two of the five deputies re
ceive $1500 annually and three get
$1200 per annum, two being paid by
the county. Under the proposed bill
the two now paid by the county will
be paid directly from the state treas
ury. Malarkey, Fouts and Clyde strongly
urged an increase from $125 to $150 a
month in the salary of Constable Wein
berger and at the same time give to
that officer the appointment of his
deputies, who are now named by the
County Court. But on a vote this in
crease was defeated by a vote of 4 to 10.
