LAWYER MAKES PROTEST Habeas Corpus Proceedings Will e Under Way by Time Trio Is In Custody Helm Committee Up held After Lively' Debate. SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 26. (Spe cial.) Warrants for the arrest of Ed ward Tllden, Chicago meat packer, and George M. Benedict and William C Cummlngs, Chicago bankers, were or dered this evening: by the Senate, a drastic, sequel to the refusal of the three men to respond to the subpenas of the Helm Investigating committee. A sergeant-at-arms was sent up on the midnight train to place the three under custody and to bring them be fore the bar of the Senate forthwith. to answer whether or not they will give the testimony and produce the papers and records desired by the In vestigators In their search for the fountain head of the so-called $.100,000 Lorimer corruption fund. The Helm committee took the stand. which was sustained by the Senate, that it could not allow Tilden to dic tate the' conditions ytipon which his bank accounts should be investigated. The committee believes these bank ac counts will show evidence of the use of money In the election of Lorimer. The vote by which the Senate up held the Helm committee stood 40 to 7. Conrt to Hear Controversy. The minute the papers are served habeas corpus proceedings are to start and the matter will be taken Into the courts. By an arrangement between John J. Healy. attorney for the Helm committee, and Nathanlal C. Sears, counsel for Tilden and the two others, the proceedings will be made as unos tentatious as possible. The warrants will be served at an appointed time and place tomorrow, perhaps in Mr. Healys office. The three men will be placed under arrest "technical arrest" Mr. Sears is careful to style It and the party will then probably adjourn to the Court house, where the habeas corpus pro ceedings will be already under way. Connection Is Reviewed. The three men and the connection In which the Senate demands their pres ence before the bar are: Edward Tilden, president of the Na tional Packing company and president (Concluded on Page 2.)

Government, Prayed for Relief by Buddhist Priests, Ignores and y Toklo May Be Invaded. VICTORIA, B. C, April 26. A severe famine prevails In Ibarakl prefecture in South Japan, Is the report received by the Inaba' Maru today. The Hochi has a dispatch from Mlto saying that 7000 people there are starving. Tragic deaths-through starvation, illness, ex cessive labor and other causes It is said are all traceable to the Indigence arts Ing from floods. Buddhist priests in the districts have been doing what they could to relieve the sufferers, but their means are far too slender to relieve all. The leading members of the afflicted communities have already lodged a petition with the home department in Toklo praying for the relief of the starving people. So far no steps whatever have been taken by th authorities called upon. The Inhabitants are plunged into despair at the dilatoriness of the gov ernment and say that unless some methods of alleviating the sufferers be promptly taken, the entire population of the afflicted regions will go up to Toklo en masse and approach the home department with a petition for deliver ance. "TRY IT POP," SAYS SON University of Washington Instructor Embarrassed at Revival Meeting. SEATTLE, Wash., April 26. (Spe cial.) Among the interested listeners at the revival meetings In progress at the University Methodist Episcopal Church there has been an instructor at the University of Washington, who, with his 5-year-old son, has nightly occupied a- seat near the rear of the auditorium. . - It has been to custom of Evangelists Hart and Megann to single out some one. in the audience and make a per sonal plea. Last night the Instructor was the one singled out. "Brother, come up forward," said the speaker, "come up forward and sit with those who desire to be saved. Tou are here to learn how to lead a better life, are you not? Then come forward and sit among those who intend to lead that better life." The evangelist paused as if waiting for a decision. The boy sat with his eyes roving constantly between his father and the speaker. At length he could bear the suspense no longer. He leaned over, nudged his father on the arm and relieved a tense situation by crying at the top of his voice: "Go on up, pop; go on up and try it once."

THREE MEN ARE INDICTED Pennsylvania, Lake Shore and Nickel Plate Roads Accused D. R. Hanna One of Indicted. Civil Suits Are Proposed. CLEVELAND. O., April 26.

Day an nounced, after the filing of the report, that "large and Important suits" would begin immediately. The cases are Interstate Commerce Commission actions brought to Insure that published ore shipping rates are effective. The Government will Beek to show the indicted railroads owned docking facilities in Ashtabula, O., and Conneaut, O., harbors; that these were operated by companies, In effect "hired" by the railroads; that the roads paid excessive rates to the docking compa nies, paid over a portion of the money received to the shippers and that the whole constitutes a conspiracy In vio lation of the Elkins law.

The penalty for con spiracy is not to exceed a fine of $10,000 and imprisonment not to exceed two years. In addition, under the Elkins law, the Government has the right to bring civil suit for three times the amount of money rebated.

When the Government census figures were published crediting Heppner with only SS0 people, the "Booster Club" de cided to make a recount. A committee of the business men was appointed to do the work. A careful canvass was made and the result shows that there are 1123 people in the city. The lists were carefully checked over to see that there was no duplication of names. This is a remark able showing when It is remembered that in 1903 more than 200 people were lost in the flood and that many more left the town after their homes were destroyed and some members of their families were swept away.
