LOR|MER NOT
ELECTED BY
BRIBERY
COMMITTEE FINDS NO
FOUNDATION FOR CHARGES
Report to Be Speedily Sent to
Senate Which viii Absolve
Illinois Member From Talnt of
Corruption,


Washington, Dec. 12.-The sub
been investigating the charges OF
brobery in connection with the cleo
ton of Senator William Lorimer Of
Illinois decided unanimously today
that the testimony did not prove any
Of the charges made.
The committee took up the evidence
In its entirety at an executive session.
II canvassed the testimony. weighed
the evidence and the arguments and
took into consideration all the facts
that have been advanced in connection
with the charges concerning Lorimer's
election. The members decided there
had been shown no foundation for
the charges that bribery had enter
ed into the election.
The motion finally was offered to
report TO the full committee of the
senate. on this motion there was no
dissenting vote. Following this action
the subcommittee report will be
prepared for the full committee at
once and will be sent 10 the senate
within a short time.
The subcommittee consists of Sem
ators Burrows, Michigan; Bulkeley.
connecticut; Gamble, South Dakota;
Hepburn. Idaho, republicans; Frazier,
Tennessee Paynter Kentucky, and
Johnston. Alabama, democrats,
These men conducted the hearing
and practically all the testimony OF
the case was taken I'm Chicago.
The full committee may meet late
in the week to receive the sub-com
mittee's report. but no session of the
full committee has yet been called,
The proceedings OF the sub-commit-
tee today were executive, all members
declining to discuss their action. A
resolution was adopted by which all
members agreed not to divulge any
of the proceedings on TO discuss the
vote until after the matter had been
submitted to the fnli committee. The
full committee consists entirely OF
lawyers and il Is expected they will
Judge the evidence from a technical
viewpoint much the same as court
would do.
The report was current about the
senate that an Informal canvass or
the committee had been taken and
not one member would vote to sus-
tain the charges. This, however, was
not confirmed.
There Is no doubt that the action
Of the subcommittee as reported to-
day Is correct. Although members
refused to discuss II publicly, news Of
the action was communicated to their
colleagues In the senate who are not
members of the committee.
