SCANDAL Up TO
The GRAND JURY
Lorimer's Election to Sen
ate Will Be. Probed.
SAYS MATTER is SERIOUS

Judge kersten, In His Charge to the
Jurors, Impresses Upon Them the
Gravity Of the Charges They Arc to
Investieate-Body Will Also Con-
slider Alleged Grating in cenneo-
ton With Certain Railroad Lesis.
Iation. .........-
Chicago, May "a special county
grand jury convened here to hear evil
dence in the Chicago and Northwest
erp Indiana railroad, alleged grating
scandal and "other matters" Included
under the head of "other matters"
will probably be the presentation Of
evidence by States Attorney Way
man looking toward indictments in
connection with charges of bribery in
the election of William Lorimer to the
United States senate last May. While
the jury has been called primarily for
the purpose of investigating the Chi
cago and Western Indiana scandal the
alleged Lorimer bribing case will prob
ably occupy the center of the stage.
In the course of special instructions
to the grand jury Judge Kersten first
directed attention to the charges made
by John c. Fetzer that large sums
of money Of the Chicago and Western
Indiana Railroad company had been
used to bride and corrupt public Off
c1als." The court referred to tho
charge that Senator Lorimer was
elected by brides in the following
words:
AT least one other matter of equal
Importance and gravity and similar
nature, which was not presented in
that petition (the Fetzer charges) has
come up since the jury was summoned
and will be called to your attention.
1.-THE nature of the matter you are
called to Investigate is so grave in
character that the court does not feel
1t necessary to impress on you the
great obligation with which you are
charged. No more insidious crime, no
more dangerous crime than the cor
ruption of public officials can be
Imagined; and no crime can be more
deliberately aimed at the very founda-
ton of the government than that with
the investigation of which you are
charged by the court"

MAYOR WILL LINE UP

Of the franchise controversy, wisely
refusing to be committed one way
or the other.
Among the we'll informed, how
ever, the guess is that the mayor
will line with the railroads and that
he is fully aware of everything that
is going on.
The Strahorn union depot pro-
ject, that the mayor urged with
such force some months ago, is
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-06-13

looked upon as a Strahorn move
to line up the people for his fran
chise. The mayor favored the sale
of the city hall property to the rail-
roads for $275,00O, whereas the city
council received $352,000.
The mayor may veto the fran
chises, in which case there are sew
EN- votes to pass it over his veto.
The railroads would like to have
the mayors signature, in a nice,
agreeable way, but they will get
their franchises whether the mayor
scigns them or not, as seven votes
carry the franchises over the may,
or's veto.
