CHARGE AGAINST
L0RIM Err MADE
IN The SENATE

Washington, June 7. Formal
charges against Senator Lorimer of
Illinois were laid before the senate
this afternoon by his colleague, CuI-
iom. The proceeding was the presen-
tation of memorial by Clifford w.
Burns of Chicago, president of the IIIi-
nois Legislative Voters league, en-
bodying charges Of bribery of members
of the Illinois legislature.
The memorial was read only in part
and was referred without comment to
the committee on privileges and eIec-
tions.
Cullom offered the memorial with
out comment and the reading was be-
gun by the clerk. 1t had proceeded
but few minutes when Borah entered
the chamber and inquired what was
being read Cullom explained and
then by his consent the matter was
referred without further reading.
There were few people in the senate
in marked contrast with the scene
when Lorimer made his bitter speech
10 days ago. He himself was not
present.
Barnes memorial was a very long
document, embodying the confessions
of White and Holstlaw that they were
bribed to vote for Lorimer, and the
bribery Indictment against Browne,
and otherwise summarizes the aIlega-
tions heretofore published as affecting
Lorimer's election. This memorial
now places formal charges before the
committee and gives it basis of ac-
tion which it has not had before.
LOrimer is Mum.
Chicago, June SENATOR Lorimer,
when shown Washington dispatches
concerning the filing of charges
against him, refused to discuss the
matter in any manner.

they said there had been a tacit un-
derstanding to consider the question of
statehood Immediately after action
upon the railroad bill. A number of
republican senators gave assurance
that the statehood bill should be given
first place on the calendar after the dis
posal of the conservation bill. but the
democrats were not satisfied with these
statements. Senator Nelson sharply
criticised the conservation policy, es-
pecially applied to Alaska, which
was considered significant because of
his position at the head of the Ballin-
Pinchot investigating committee.
HOUSE The consideration of bills.
chiefly of local interest. by unanimous
consent. occupied the entire session of
the house. Among the many measures
passed were bills authorizing the ap-

Rome fell by attack from without,
only because the ills within her own

qualities indispensable to the success

to high and stern sense of duty, of
moral obligation, are self-knowiedge
and self-mastery. You, my hosts, and
