.LOR|M[R PLEADS
FOR PROBE DELAY
PROJECT HIS FRIENDS BROWNE
AND FREDERICK.
ASKS SENATE COMMITTEE
TO POSTPONE INVESTIGATION
Delay Sought Until After Alleged Bribe
Givers Arc Tried on Criminal Charges
Now Pending-Fears Evidence Be-
fore Committee Would Injure Cases
In Court.

Chicago, Sept 22.-The first open
session of the senate committee in
vestigating the election of Senator
Lorimer. it is expected. will be occu-
pied today in determining the manner
of procedure in the hearing of charges
of alleged bribery and corruption. SEN
ator Lorimer and his attorney, Elbridge
Hanecy, and Attorney Clifford w
Barnes. of the Legislative Voters
League were present when the session
began.
Thru Attorney Hanecy the senator
asked that the investigation be post
poned because of the tendency OF GRIM
inal cases in Illinois touching upon
matters into which the committee is
looking. For nearly one hour Hanecy
argued that to proceed in the invest-
cation would be unfair to Lorimer. and
also to the various members Of the
state legislature, who voted for him
and are now seeking reelection.
Pleads For Lorimer's Friends.
"Lorimer Is ready and anxious the
whole truth shall be known" said
Hanecy. HE wants to call Minority
Leader Browne and State Senator
Broderick to testify. They are now
under indictment, their trial is coming
off. and they. on the advice Of counsel
will refuse to testify except on COM
pulsion. This committee can compel
them to testify. but Lorimer does not
wish them forced to go on the witness
stand and give evidence that might
possibly be to their disadvantage at
their trial."
Hanecy asserted that not only IS the
election OF Lorimer involved, but the
question Of the expenditure of money
for the Illinois deep waterway Is also
connected with the matter, and that to
call the legislators from their districts
would be unfair to them.
No Action Ttaken
Attorney Barnes. Of the Legislative
Voters League, who filed the petition
last spring with the United States sem
ate embodying tho charges OF fraudu-
lent methods in the election of Lor-
inner, opposed the continuance, declar-
ing the senatorial committee had a
solemn duty to perform to help purge
the state Of Its disgrace"
AT the conclusion of the arguments
Chairman Burrows requested Hanecy
ito file a formal application in support
Of his motion for a continuance. stating
in as brief form as possible the reasons
on which the motion was based. At
torney Barnes asked leave to file with
the committee a counter argument
why the hearing should proceed. and
his request was granted. The COM
mittee adjourned until tom morrow.

Atlantic City. n. j.. Sept 22.-The
today reported to the national en-
campment condemning the proposition
that congress grant each union veteran

The committee made an adverse re-
port on the ground that such pensions
would be too expensive To the govern
ment The report recommends that
widows Of veterans be given increased
pensions, and that pensions to veter-
ans above the age OF 20 years be in

COMMERCE COMMISSIONERS LANE
SPRINGS SENSATION AT RATE
HEARING.
MUST MEET INCREASED COST
WITHOUT RAISING RATES
Officials Told That West Can Not
Stand For Proposed Boosting of
Freight charses-Declarato Made
Following Statements That Roads
Are Suffering From Too Much Bus
ness."

Chicago, Sept 22.-1nterstate Com
1nerce Commissioner Lane today indl-
Gated at the rate hearing that the rail-
roads would have to meet the problem
Of tho constantly increasing cost of
operation by some other means than
that proposed--an increase OF rates to
meet the increased cost of service. He
considered 1t q serious menace to the
western country IL rates to be con-
stantly increased.
LAS the country develops" said the
commissioner, there will be more and
more freight delivered to the carriers,
and by the reasoning OF the railroad
officials here. that means increased
cost per unit OF service, upon which
rates / regard 1t Is a serious menace
20 the western country If rates are con-
stanlty to be increased. We must work
out this problem on other lines than by
this proposed rate method. Ii not,
there is no time when we can say the
maximum rates will be reached"
Tho Shippers Arguments.
Railroad officials who have testified
so far have based their plea for in
creased rates on the claim that cost Of
service per unit is increasing faster
than the rate OF income, and that high
er schedules are required to save the
roads from ultimate bankruptcy.
Opposed to his reasoning is the
charge by the shippers that the figures
used In determining the cost of ser
vice are improper and misleading: that
the railroads padded their capitalza-
ton by sales of stock to stockholders
far below It's market value: that earn
ings are used for property additions
and then capitalized absorbing part
of the income and that other similar
methods are used to conceal the actual
income derived.
Suffering From Much Business.
"Well" Interrupted the commission
er "you woro an optimist when you
built a transcontinental line; why are
Won n pesslmlst now? You could af-
ford to build that extention."
"rhat was optimism" was the reply.
"Neither is this pessimism. But except
for the business done by the Puget
Sound road, we would have had Moth

sus Of Vermont. The statement is there
made that From sources close 10 the

have increased in population in the last
decade No information has been given
ont from this Office regarding census re-
turns and your correspondent certainly
stretched his imagination when he made
any such statement There has been
no decided decrease in the population
Of Vermont: on the contrary there has
been a substantial and healthy increase
in the last ten years. | would like
to give you the figures, but supervisors
