EARLY SETTLEMENT
IN LGRIAER CASE
Senator Burrows Says Meet,
ing of Subcommittee Will
Be Called.

An early disposition Of the investi-
cation into the charges that Senator
Lorimer was elected to the United
States Senate BY bribery may be ex-
pected shortly after Congress assem-
b1es next month Senator Burrows
OF Michigan. chairman OF the COM
mittee on elections, said today that
ne would call his subcommittee to-
gether as soon as possible after Con-
gress assemblies for the. purpose Of
finally going over the evidence
gathered in Chicago, and taking a
vote TO determine whether Senator
Lorimer shall continue a member OF
the Senate.
While IL is generally expected that
a majority Of the committee win sub
nit q report 70 the effect that the
charges against Senator LOrimer were
not proven, II was learned today that
there VIII in all probability be a
minority report protesting against
the conclusions reached by the ma
jOrity members.
This minority report probably VIII
be written by Senator Frazer Of Ten
nessee- Senator Frazer arrived at the
Chicago hearings late, but during his
few days there he cnliveTsd the pro-
ceedlngs by bis persistent crOss-ex-
animation OF all witnesses.
AS a result Of this attitude on the
part Of the Tennessee Senator more
evidence was brought out than at any
time prior 20 his arrival Il IS under
stood that the evidence resulting from
this accumulation has convinced
Senator Frazer and at least two other
members Of the committee that the
subcommittee wo2Id not be justified
in giving Senator LOTimer a clean bill

their views on the subject in a

Al FOrd's Next Week.

1.-THE Third Degree begins an en-
gagement of one week at Ford's begin
ing next Monday night and it is expect
ed that this, Charles Klein's latest play,
will prove as great in point of contem-
poraneous interest as it is said to have
been in New York and Chicago. To
the few who may not know the true
meaning of the title of AThe Third De-
gree it may be said to concern that
phase of the unwritten law which falls
in favor of the police in their frequently
employed method of gaining a confess
sion from a supposed criminal. Mr..
Klein has taken rather a delicate sub
| ject for dramatic material, but, it said,
that he has overcome the difficulties in
an entertaining and pleasing manner by
penetrating the depths of that young
science-psychology' Although, other
dramatists have dealt with the subject
of hypnotism in their plays Mr.. Klein is
remembered to have been the first of
our own playwrights to use hypnotic
suggestion in the story of the play,
when in 1897 his doctor Belgraddn was
produced.
The story of ''The Third Degree"
tells of the social undoing OF Howard
Jeffries, Jr., through his marriage with
a true womanly spirited shop girl. The
boys ultra-aristocratie father cuts him
from family ties with paltrY allowance
which causes Howard to face an ultimate
need. In search of funds, he comes to
the art studio of frat mate who
still owes him a college debt in the hope
of loan. While feeling his cups,
Howard falls to sleep on sofa. His
friend, bankrupt and desperate steps
into an adjoining room and fulfilling a
threat, suicides The police arrive be-
fore Howard learns of the crime and he
is seized as its perpetrator but through
long sweating by an INSCRIPTIONS
police captain and finally makes a con-
fession of murder. The influence of
sincere wife in the battle for her hus-
bands life wins her point and the affec-
tion of her father-in-law.
"The Third Degree" comes here di
rect from the Hudson Theater, New
York, and Henry B. Harris promises
the first cast including, Helen Ware,
Ida Mcmillan, Ralph Delmore, James
Seeley, Malcolm Duncan, Frazer Coul-
ter, Walter Craven, Earl Williams,
William Herbert and others.
A holiday matinee will be given on
Tuesday tWashington's Birthday, the

Committed Suicide.

Mrs. NJ. E. Dent committed suicide
by shooting herself through the head
with revolver on Tuesday last, at her
home near Harris Lot. Mrs. Dent, it is
said, had previously made two other at
tempts to end her life, and it is thought
that her rash acts were due to an IN
balanced mind.
She was the widow of the late Clinton
Dent Of this County, and in the 64th
year of h,r age. Surviving her are five
children Mrs. Hopsey Smoot, Mrs.
Logan Harrison, Messrs. Thomas, Vivian
and Percy Dent.
