Move lo Adjourn Finally Causes Up roar, but Decisionals to Dig to Bottom of Vote-Buying Scandal of Illinois. Danville. 111., Feb. 14. (Special.) At the end of a turbulent scene, the like of which has seldom before been staged In an Inquisitorial chamber, State's Attorney John H. Lewman was ousted from the Vermilion County grand Jury chambers this afternoon by a. vote of 12 to 11. The elimination of the prosecutor as a factor In the expose of the "politi cal unrighteousness" In Speaker Can non's home county came unexpectedly. It rent the Inquisitorial body Into two warring factions and henceforth the Inquiry Is to go forward without quarter. Woodyard Forces Decision. "While the chambers were still buzz lng with the angry voices of Jurors after the vote which dispensed with Lewman's service, the "standpatters" who have been attempting to squelch the Inquiry gained the floor and de manded a ballot on a final adjourn ment. Immediately there was a chorus of voices In heated argument. Foreman Isaac Woodyard pounded vigorously on his table for order with a broken broomstick for a gavel, ins two warring factions arrayed them selves on opposite sides of the room. 'I'll put the question," shouted the banker-foreman, anger blazing In his eyes. "Shall this investigation go to the bottom or shall .we adjourn?" Immediately there was a near-riot. Order was finally restored and a ballot taken. The vote stood 17 to 6 for a wide-open expose. Lewman Makes Inquiry Farce. The scene surrounding the ousting of Prosecutor Lewman was dramatic. A witness had been on the stand testify ing as to his knowledge of "vote frauds." Lewman had asked him per functory questions, such as his name, address and business and then turned him over to the grand Jury to be ques tioned. From all corners of the room came questions. They were disjointed and the witness merely lay back and "took it easy" .under the Ineffectual fire. The Jury looked to the prosecutor fpr aid, but he was enjoying the situa tion Immensely and made no attempt to give legal help. When the State's Attorney did not Interfere and straighten out affairs. Woodyard excused the witness. Then Huge Breaker at San Pedro Washes Him and Robert Long Into Sea. Gi-ls Show Heroism. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14.
