CAN BAILEY SAVE HIM
In the Resolution Introduced by
Senator L?a Follette, Ix> rimer is
Charged With the Full Personal
Knowledge of the Corruption Used
for If is Flection.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says interest
in Congress Monday centered in the
Senate, where Mr. La Follette spoke
on his resolution for a special committee,
named in the resolution and
consisting entirely of new Senators,
to investigate anew the Lorimer
case. The Wisconsin Senator was in
fine trim and had a large audience,
nearly as many House members hearing
him as were attending the Terri
tories debate in the House itseir.
The substitute resolution of Senator
Dillingham, referring the new investigation
to the committee on privileges
and elections, will doubtless
prevail, however. It is pointed out
that his committee, as now constituted,
contains the names of three
new Senators, Messrs. Kenyon, of
Iowa; Kern, of Indiana, and Lea, of
Tennessee.
An immediate investigation of
sweeping scope of the renewed
charges that Senator Lorimer, of Illinois,
is not entitled to his seat, is
provided for in both the resolutions
by Senators Dillingham and La Toilette.
Senator La Follette called up his
resolution and made a speech arraigning
the Illinois Senator, whom
he charged with personal knowledge
of the spending of money in behalf
of his election. Both the Democratic
steering committee and the Republican
members of the Senate committee
on privilege and elections discussed
the charges of corruption in
the Lorimer case and Senator Dillingham,
chairm-an of the elections 1
committee, presented his resolution 1
of inquiry as a substitute for the La
Peiiotte resolution. The La Follette
e ^
.measure provides for a renewed inquiry
into jth? Lorimer case by a
special <rominit!tee. The Democratic
Senators will support the Dillingham
resolution. It is unlikely that the
elections committee will be directed
to investigate through a sub-committee,
to bo composed of its own mem
bers.
The Dillingham resolution follows:
"That the committee on privileges
and elections are authorized and directed
to further investigate the
charges made against Wm. Lorlmer,
a Senator from the State of Illinois,
and to inquire and report to the
Senate whether in or about the election
of the said Wm. Lorimer, as
a Senator of the United States from
the State of Illinois, or in connection
with his right to a seat in this
body, there were used or employed
by any person, firm, corporation or
association any corrupt methods or
practice.
"That said committee be authorized
to sit during the sessions of the
Senate and during the recess of the
Senate or of Congress; to hold its
session at such place or places as it
shall deem most convenient for the
purpose of investigation; to employ
stenographers and such counsel and
comjpetent accountants as It may
deem necessary; to send for persons
and papers and to administer oaths;
and that the expenses of the inquiry
Bhall be paid from the contingent
fund of the Senate upon vouchers
to be approved by the chairman of
the committee."
Senator La Follette's speech was
a plea for a reinvestigation on account,
not only of recent developments,
but because of revelations
during the last session of the committee.
(\fr. La Follette reviewed the Lorimer
case, citing the confessions of
bribery in the interest of Lorimer's
election. "Is there another Senator
against whom such an imputation
could have been made who would not
have risen in his seat and demanded
an inquiry?" he said.
"Can you conceive of any man
holding such a trust as a seat in the
Senate who could sit here for weeks
and months after his title had been
impeached without saying some
liiliiK l'
He said the votes of the thirty
Democratic Senators for Lorimer
would stick in the minds of the people
when it was remembered that
the Democratic votes were under the
leadership of Lee O'Neal Brown,
who had $30,000 strapped on hU
person. He said that he understood
that the Senate committee had permitted
an attorney in the case tc
divert it from an inquiry into Mr
Lorimer's knowledge of the case
Page upon page of the testimonj
he declared, showed the closest associations
between Mr. Lorimer, Speaker
Shurtlieff and Lee O'Neal Brown
the Democratic leader.

CHINESE MASSACRE
OVER TWO HUNDRED OP THEM
MURDERED AT TORREON.
Fearful Scenes Are Reported Following
the Capture of the City by
the Rebels.
Reports by couriers to Mexico City
Monday tell the story of a massacre
of 206 Chinese at Torroon, following
the rebel occupation of that city
last week. Upon receipt of the news
at the Chinese legation the charge in
the affairs immediately made formal
representations to the Mexican Govern
ment.
The details of the story of the
three-days' battle and sacking of the
city of Torreon is replete with incidents
of cruelty that shows that the
rebel leaders did not hold their men
in control. The oflicial advices do
not give the number of dead, but
taking the 206 Chinese as a basis,
It is certain that the number is larger.
The last day of the taking of the
town was May 15. On that "Say Gen.
Lejero evacuated with his Federal
forces and the rebels, glutted with
two days' fighting, entered the city.
Weakened as they were, they found
themselves utterly unable to control
the mob and reports received indicate
that scores of innocent residents
were added t otlie list of victims.
A great deal of the business of i
Torreon is conducted by Chinese,
some of whom are wealthy, and, ac- i
cording to the reports, the rioters
shot down or stabbed without mercy :
every Oriental encountered.
That the Chinese charge d'affaires
w-fii h? able to secure indemnity for <
many of the victims of the riot is 1
doubted here, for it is a fact that i
Mnce Sir Chentung Liang Chang
visited this country, five years ago, j
and advised his countrymen to be- ]
"cme Mexican citizens, |almost all ]
have taken out naturalization palters.
i
The Chinese at Torreon, were <
under arms when the rebel troops ]
entered that city, after a three-day
battle, May 15, and fired the first
bullets that culminated in a concen- i
trated attack by the insurrecto sol- |
diers and the practical extermination <
of the Chinese in that city, accord- j
Torreon Enterprise, who arrived in <
Eagle Pass Monday night. No Anti- <
American sentiment was manifested i
by the rebels, he declared, and no <
foreignes other than Chinese were j
killed. i
AVIATOR PREVENTS ACCIDENT.

afternoon to prevent the probable t
wholessale maiming of spectators. <
Jannus is suffering from a dislocat- j
ed shoulder, broken collar bone and t
probable internal injuries. Just after <
he had stared the flight the crowd of <
spectators flocked to the knoll which
had been selected for a landing place i
and when Jannus steered for the i
landing place, he found it covered ]
with people.
He was flying too low to rise over
them and rather than continue on
straight ahead at his great speed the
daring aviator turned the nose of
his machine into a nearby bank. The
machine, a big passenger carryiag
aeroplane, was a total wreck.
WOFFORD COLLEGE DORMITORY.
Plans of the Executive Committee of
Hoard of Trustees.
A dispatch from Spartanburg says
plans for a modern dormitory for
Wofford College were formulated on
Tuesday at a meeting of the executive
committee of the board of trustees
of Wofford College in the office
of J. B. Cleveland. Those present
were: Dr. H. N. Snyder, J. B. Cleveland,
W. E, Burnett and H. B. Carlisle.
A three-story building will be
erected in the near future, containing
about 7 5 or 80 rooms to accommodate
the boarding pupils at the
College. The new building is to cost
between $40,000 and$50,000; some
of the funds necessary for the building
are on hand, but outside donations
will be received toward the
building.

DIAZ REIGN IS OYER
AGED PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
HAS RESIGNED OFFICE.
Resignation Will Not Be Accepted
Before Saturday, When Madero
Will Go to Mexico City.
A dispatch from Juarez, Mexico,

effect that President Diaz resigned
Wednesday, but it is not expected
that the Mexican Congress will acHafnr/Jqv

co I. Madero, Jr., the rebel leader, is
not planning to ?tart for iMcxico
City before Sunday.
Senor Madero is just beginning to
realize the strength of the revolutionary
movement which he created.
A constant stream of telegrams has
been pouring in at his headquarters
with,in the last few days congratulating
him on the successs of the
revolution, and assuring him that
thousands of men are at his disposal,,
If needed. I
As the telgrams are from all parts
of Mexico, including the southern and
central sections, it is becoming more
and more apparent that Madero need
fear little from a counter revolutionary
movement. Such talk again was
in the air, coupled with rumors of
plots by the "Cientifico" element in
Mexico C1tv and the possibility of
mishap to the Madero train when it
starts southward. ,
Some of Madero's friends think he
should take at least 200 armed men
with him, but the rebel leader himself,
scoffs at the idea, saying he will
have but a civilian escort. A pilot
locomotive, it is reported, will proceed
a kilometre or two ahead of
the Madero train to scout for dynamite
bombs or other impediment.

Is working in close harmony with the
Provisional President, Senor De La
Rarra, is the frequent exchange of
messages that occurred Tuesday.
Senor Madero Wednesday was advised
for instance, that an attack on
ilermosillo was contemplated.
The large army, which has been
accumulated under Madero since the
revolution began, instead of being regarded
as involving future danger of
anarchy , is rapidly being reviewed
n another light by conservative leaders.
They look with satisfaction up>n
the army once undisciplined, now

THE EVER READY PISTOL.
Parmer Shoots Conductor and is Shot
by Conductor.
Capt. C. D Bailey, conductor on
mssenger train No. 2 7 on the Georgia
railroad, which leaves Augusta at
3:20, Eastern time, running between
Augusta and Atlanta, was
shot Monday on his train about half
i mile this side of Mesina, and in
:urn shot his assailant, A. J. Thompson,
a well known farmer of Warren
county.
Capt. Bailey was painfully,
* x 1 /I f ho
[ nougll not Bt'l iousi.y, nuuuutu,
bullet entering his leg between his
hip and knee, and it is believed that
A. Thompson, his assailant, was
fatally wounded.
The shooting arose over the refusal
of Capt. Bailey to stop the train
at Mesina, a flag station four miles
this side of Camack, and an argument
resulted. When asked to stop
Capt. Bailjey stated he coufld not
make a stop without orders, and
Thompson drew a gun, saying:
"You will stop this train at the
muzzle of my revolver."
Capt. Ba'ley knocked Thompson's
hand down, throwing the muzzle of
the gun from his breast, as Thompson
fired, the bullet entering Capt.
Bailey's leg between the hip and
knee, Thompson then turned to
run, and Capt. Bailey, who had
drawn his pistol, in the scuffle fired
and shot Thompson between his
shoulders, the bullet penetrating his
right lung

Want to Whitewash IVim Again.
It is plain that the friends of Senator
Lorimer in the United States
Senate are trying hard to get his
case in the hands of a whitewash
jOO-mmibtee should it tx1 reopened,
whioh now seems inevitable. In
the fact of the overwhelming public
opinion it is hardly likely that any
considerable number of senators
would oppose the reopening of the
case. That feature of the matter
seems to be settled. Even Lorlmer's
friends sees that he must be investigated
by the Senate again.
His standpat supporters in both
parties want, the investigation to he
conducted by bis friends. They want
him committed again to the tender
mercies of the committee on privileges
and elections. The committee

Of this number, Dillingham,)

names a special comratitee,

Townsend of Michigan,
Kern of Indiana and Pomerene of

and two standpatters, and two Democrats.
Mr. LaFollette urges the necessity
of a committee of new members
because the old members have
all voted on the question and are
on record either as i^orimer parusans
or in favor of ousting him.
