Smoking In Ancient payA

state Senator Tells Committee How
He Received Large Sum Of Money
After He Had Voted
For Lorimer.

Chicago, Sept. estate Senator
d. w. Holtslaw Of Iuka, ILL.,, one of
the So Democrats who voted for Sen
ator Lorimer, on the witness stand
today before the senatorial investiga-
tion committee, testified that after he
had voted for Lorimer ne received
$500 and supposed the money was
paid because of his vote"
The state senator, until recently a
banker in his home town and promi-
nent in the Baptist denomination, was
the second witness to tell the United
states senator that money was paid
hin. because of his vote for the junior
senator from Illinois.
Holtslaw said that on the night be-
fore the election he met State SEN
ator John BroEsrlck. who said:
"They are going TO elect Lorimer to-
morrow" and Holtslaw said ne sup
posed so, and thought he would vote
for him. Then Broderick said: We'll.
there is $4,000 in it for you." Later
he received the amount from Broder-
ick Holtslaw said he intended to
vote for Lorimer. any way, as 1t look
ed to him as though the Democrat had
no chance.
Shortly before adjournment Sen
ator Paynter said. 80 far as am
concerned, this case is being ap-
preached on the presumption that the
men who voted for Senator Lorimer
did not do so because OF bribery or
corruption. 1t would be unjnst to
have any ether assumption
To this statement Senator Hepburn
added: THE whole committee is pro;
ceeding with lack OF presumption Of
corruption in the election. The bur
den of proving such a condition is on
those who are making the charges.
Preceding Holtslaw, Representa-
tive White of o'Fallon, ILL.,, finished
his testimony. telling what he did
with the $1,000 he said he received for
his vote.
"The committee is in doubt Of the
admissibillty Of the testimony" said
Chairman Burrows. but will permit
1t to 60 in without making a ruling OF
precent over testimony" The com
mittee again ruled adversely on the

IT was expected that Representative
Breckmeyer will follow Holtslaw or

understanding Breckemeyer had been
dismissed for the day, and the SEN

1t requires a careful scrutiny of the
situation to realize that Richard Garlic
is really very Industrious and prob
ably in many off-stage hours a serious
person. The cares not only of author
ship, but also of musical composition are
his, and in addition to these the burden
of keeping the audience completely sup
piled with opportunities to laugh at per-
sonal eccentricities, such as form so i'm

earle comes pretty nearly being the whole
show, and a first-rate show at that He
makes the henpecked husband whom he
has adapted from the French an object
of amusement rather than OF sympathy.
The effect of spontaneity is present in all
ne does. The nonsense he utters in
whimsical intonations seems as impromp-
tn as the dances that are continually
slipping unexpectedly into scene. Mr..
earle shows ingenuity in song compost
tlon. with a special tendency to COM
plicated rhymes. He makes JUNCTION take

at times enthusiastic audience. Miss
Starr again received an ovation, and be-

who saw it again began to discuss Mr..

tege of Willard Brockton, man of
