Resolution Acquits Lumber Magnate,
Accused of "Putting Him Over" With
1100,000, of Wrongdoing 8enate
Will Consider Report Next Week.
Washington, March 29. Senator
Jjorimer of Illinois won an overwhelm
ing vindication at tho hands of the
special committee of eight senators
who have finished a second lnvestlga
tion of his elertion by the Illinois
legislature in 1909.
Twice challenged and once acquit
ted, the committee by votes of 5 to 3
on all vital points completely exoner
ated him of any knowledge of legisla
tive corruption.
Edward Hlnes, the millionaire lum
berman, referred to In the lnvestlga
tion as "the man who put Lorimer
over," nlso got a vindication by the
committee. It had been charged that
Hines raised a corruption fund of

Hue, hut would save more than $50,
Oon.non a year to consumers because ol
the readjustment of rates.
All the attempts of the Republicans
to amend the bill lo Increase the rates
were lost.
Tho tariff board came in for o.rltl
clsm In the speech making.
Representative Kltehin considered
that Senators Smoot and Warren had
deliberately Imposed on the tariff
hoard to maintain the high duty on
wool.
"How Is It," he cried, "that sheep
growers In Washington are able to
raise wool at one twentieth of a cent
a pound and In Wyoming, according to
the board's report, a pound costs thlr
teen cents."
Mondo.ll renlled that wool costs 15
cents to produce in Wyoming
"And yet." returned Kltehin. "this
Infallible board shaded that cost price
Just two cent?. The gentleman's es
timate discloses the Beauty of the system."

Crazed Pole at Waukesha. Wis., Went
to Meeting to Club Colonel.
Colonel Roosevelt was saved from
attack by a maniac by the fact that
the train he took in passing through
Wisconsin did not go through Wau
kesha. This was the statement made in the
county jail by Charles Schomolla. the
erased Pole who tried to kill Senator
Gore with a club during the Wilson
III' eling.
Schomolla is slightly more rational,
though he is still possessed of the do
luslon that ho is Jesus Christ and has
a mission to kill He tohl the Jail an
thorithM he supposed Roosevelt was to
pass through Waukesha and speak
there. When he went to the Core

ate. The majority repudiated that and
passed a resolution that the evidence
had shown that he did not raise or
contribute any sum improperly.
The majority hold that no new evi
dence had been adduced to justify a
reversal of the senate's previous ac
tion in Senator Iorlmer's favor; that
there was no evidence of a Jackpot in
the Illinois general assembly of 1909
In connection with his election, and
finally that no corrupt practices had
been shown by the investigation.
Will Come Up Next Week.
The case will be squarely before the
senate probably next week, when a
protracted debate will begin. Neither
side has made a thorough canvass of
the situation. Republican leaders
point out that there will be about
twenty-seven new senators to vote on
tho case, in addition to those who
have already voted on substantially
the same charges.
The committee's action was the plea
raised by 1orlmer's counsel that the
previous action of the senate bars re
consideration
The majority report on the main
proposition will be signed by Senators
Dillingham. Gamble, Fletcher, John
ston and Jones, and the minority by
Senators Kenvos, Kern and Lea.
Senator Jons was against Senator
lyorimer on the first Investigation
He reversed his position and present

V'ews of Minority.
The contention of the minority
members will be thnt the senate
passed upon the question of tho form
er adjudication when it ordered the
present investigation, and that if res
adjudlenta were to prevail it should
have h' "ii neforo a second exhaustive
invest lg.it Ion at a cost of $50.00ii was
begun. They contend that the new in
vestigaMon was ordered largely be
cause the former committee had not
made a full in instigation and tho conn
try demanded all the Cacti
Their viewpoint is that the new In
vestigation has developed much perti
Rent to Lorimer's election which the
old committee failed to discover; that
doubts if to tho eorreeiness of State
Senator Molstlaw's confession have
been dis- lied; that State's Attorney
