of the Jack Pot"
0y Associated Press.

mer, of Illinois, was given clean bill
of health today by the Subcommittee
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections, which investigated

members opportunity to study the evil
dence and the subcommittee report.
Evidence that there was money
passed between certain members OF
the Illinois legislature was not ignored
by the subcommittee, but it was de-
clared that if the votes OF members
charged either with receiving or pay
ing money had been eliminated, Mr..
Lorimer stin would have had ma
jority of three votes. The sub-com-
mittee was a unit in asserting that the
evidence did not show that Mr.. Lori
mer had been connected with the al
Iesed distribution of Jack pot" -.or
any money to influence the legislature
in the prefernient Of himself for the
senatorship. s.
The subcommittee was composed
Of Senators Burrows. Bulkely. Gam

Bulkeley, Frazier and Johnston did not
meet with the full committee today
but their names were attached to the
report. -
It had been expected that the report
would be printed and copies furnished
to the entire membership. The inves-
tigators, however, were SO desirous OF
II maintaining the secrecy of their find
ings that the report was prepared in
typewriter form and read to the full
by Chairman Burrows. 1t
was then ordered to be printed and
copies will be in the hands of the
committee within a few days. Vol
