Cnairmao Clayton, of tha House? com

JUDGE BLOCKS INQUIRY
Judicial Interference 'With Legisla
tive Power Prevents Committee
From Getting Proof aa to
Who Gave Money.
SPRINOF1ELD. 111.. May 17. The
report of the Helm Senatorial commit
tee, appointed to investigate the clr
cumstunce of the election of William
Lorlmer to the United States Senate,
was returned to the Senate today.
Its two most vital points are: A exit'
lcism of Judge Petit for his ruling In
the habeas corpus case Involving Til
den. Cummlngs and Benedict and this
expression:
"Your commute has reached the con
clusion that the election of William
Lorlmer before the last General As
sembly would not have occurred, had
It not been for the bribery and cor
ruption.
The report sets forth the sum
monlng of H. It. Kohlsaat, publisher
of the OThlcsgo Record-Herald, and Mr.
Kohlsaat's disclosure that It was Clar
ence S. Funk, secretary of the Inter
national Harvester Company, who had
told htm of a conversation which he
(Funk had with Edward Hlnes. In
which Hlncs Is alleged to have informed
unk that ho had succeeded In elect
Ing Lorlmer to the United States Sen
ate at a cost to htm and unnamed per
sons of about 1100.000.
In the matter of the action of Judge
Petit, who decided that Tllden. Cum
ratngs and Benedict need not appear
before the Senatorial Investigation
committee, the report says:
Tour commute is advised and be
lieves that In the matter of requiring
the attendance of said witnesses It was
acting within Its legal rights and that
the action of said Judge was an un
warranted and unlawful interference on
the part of a member of the Judicial
with the legislative branch of the Gov
ernment. That Inability of your com
mittee to compeS the appearance of
Id witnesses and the admission of
said documentary proof has prevented
on the part of this committee a full
and complete Investigation Into the
question of corruption and official mis
conduct on the part of the members of
this or the last General Assembly."
The whole matter of the question of
bribery and corruption charges is placed
by the committee before the Senate for
whatever action the memhera deem fit.
No attempt la made In the report to
recommend the reopening of the Lor-
mer Investigation by the United States
Senate or the unseating of members of
he Illinois Legislature charged with
bribery.
The Senate agreed to receive the re
port and Its consderatlon for adoption
or rejection win be a matter of special
order for tomorrow.
CAMORRISTS MAKE THREAT
Faclnjr Informer, They Heap De
nunciations on Him.
VITERBO. Italy. May IT. Francesco
Peelderto, one of those charged by
Oenaro Abbatemagglo with having
been at the Alda tavern when Genaro
Cuoccolo was condemned to death for
treachery by a court of the Camorra.
faced the Informer at the trial of the
Camorrists today. The exchanges were
similar to those In which the state's
witnesses have engaged with other
prisoners. Abbatemagglo again recited
his version of the meeting at the tav
ern, and charged Deslderio with com
plicity In the crime. The accused man
denied each assertion In turn, and
sought to confuse the other by taunt
ing him.
"You did not learn your part well
thle morning," said the alleged assas
sin. Abbatemagglo replied calmly:
Do not put yourself to unnecessary
trouble. It is useless to try to con
lound me.
Deslderio was frequently prompted
by others of the prisoners, especially
Airano and the priest, Vltozzi. Th
latter, quoting from Alfano's earlier
denunciation, repeatedly cried out at
Abbatemagglo:
"Assasein, you are the real mur
derer!
Several others among the accused,
not so notorious as those who preceded
them, confronted Abbatemagglo at the
arternoon session. Most of the time
was occupied In recriminations, which
sometimes developed Into open threats.
Bear leaders scrambled Into the
ring, but they looked gingerly before
leaping Into, the fray offered by the
bull chief. One house gave him 800
bales of May on his bid for 100,000
bales. Hayne yelled for more, but
none was offered. On this transaction
Mr. Hayne paid 11.10 a bale' more than
the cotton exchange quotations said
spots were worth.
Hayne's bidding had a sympathetic
effect on the entire market, and at noon
futures were 8 to 9 points over yester
day's closing quotations. Even after
May had advanced to 16.70c, Hayne
shouted an offer for 70,000 bales of May
at that figure.

day in his first attempt made a flight
of three miles. Hartle was warned not
to attempt fancy flying until he had
thoroughly acquainted himself with the
machine, but today after flying once
around the course, went up a second
time, saying that he was going to make
figure eight. The official report of
the accident, signed by VanGrlfflth.

and four other members of the organiza
tion, says that the accident was "caused
by the breaking of one of the Ailerons."

The bids were offered by Frank B.

from low ordinary grade to fair.
