FIGHT BEGUN ON
LORIMER REPORT
Illinoisar Upheld by Full Commit
tee, Two Dissent.
TITLE TO SEAT IS VALID
Beverage and Frazier Refuse to Sign
Finding-Whole Matter Goes
Over Until After Holiday

Washington.-The report of its
investigation of charges Of bribery
made IN connection with the election
If Senator William Lorimer of I'LL
aois was submitted to the senate by
he committee on privileges and cleo
ions through its chairman, Senator
Burrows, just before that body ad-
burned for the holiday recess.
The conclusion reached by the com
nittee follows:
That, in their opinion, the title of
Mr.. Lorimer to a seat in the senate
has not been shown to be invalid by
the use or employment Of corrupt
methods or practises.
Charges that four members OF the
Illinois legislature were bribed and
that three other members paid brides
are not ignored by the committee. The
report declares that those who con-
fessed to receiving brides should not
be believed and that the votes of those
who were charged with paying brides
should be counted.
In relation to the charges that there
nois legislature and that it was dis
bursed by one Robert E. Wilson, the
report says that there is no evidence
that it was used for the benefit of Mr.
Lorimer. The committee suggests that
any investigation of the use of such
fund should be made by authorities
of the state of Illinois.
Tho tot oF 1,ior -
Frazier was made public later In his
statement Senator Frazier declares
that the four confessed bribe-takers
implicated three other members of the
legislature who bribed them; that
these three votes were also corrupt
which would make seven tainted votes
Eliminating these seven votes, Senator
Frazier holds, would make the vote
received by Senator Lorimer less than
a majority.
The report, as presented, was not
signed by members of the committee,
although it did not appear that there
was any minority. On the floor of the
senate, however, Mr.. Beverage made
the statement that he had not been
able to concur with or dissent from
the findings because of the voluminous
character of the testimony He said
that he would digest the proceedings
of the Investigating committee during
the holidays. He asked that a specific
time be named for acting upon the re-
port, but objection was made by Sena-
tor Gallinger on the ground that the
matter was privileged and could be
called from the table at any time by
any senator.

fcR0Ss-EYEs AND MATRIMONY
Young Lady Gets Eyes Strengthened
and Receives Proposal in
Three Days.

When / return from Europe in Oc-
tober," said the oculist to his patient,
won't you let me straighten that
eye? It would necessitate wearing a
bandage for only about two days.
That eye" had been discussed be-
fore. The patient sat and thought a
moment, the oculist believing that she
was trying to decide to have the op-
Grafton. What she was really think
ing Of was the times when she had
been told that the cast in her eye
(the squint) was attractive, but, of
course, she was not going to tell the
oculist that.
But she did tell him that there was
woman who had seen her when she
was baby, and she had caught her
up and kissed her, all on account of
that little cross-eye, and begged her
mother not to have it Strengthened.
For" she said, latter I had married
put on my bonnet one morning and
started downtown.
Where are you going? my hus-
band asked, and I told him, Down
town to have my eye Strengthened
and he said, Well, you can just take
of your bonnet and stay at home. I
married you with that old cross-eye,
and | don't want it Strengthened
And then, my mother said, she
kissed me again"
The oculist saw the point, but he
had a foil for it.
Loretta" he said, was a girl who
came to me with badly crossed eyes,
asking if I could set them right I
knew that I could as soon as I exam
ined them. When the bandages had
been removed she was smiling and
happy and said, Now, Loretta, there
is only one request that I am going
to make: VIII you send me an Invita-
ton to the wedding? She turned
very red, and then she said as frankly
as child, Well doctor, we had been
good friends for a long ttme-but he
had never asked me to marry him,
though he seemed to be so fond of me,
so one day / decided that it was my
looks. Then l came to you. And
what do you think? 1t wasn't threr
days before he proposed"

added that If he had been there he
would not have signed it.
Did you file minority report incor-
porating your views with the chairman
of the senate committee on elections
and priVileges?' he was asked.
Il did, and in this I showed that evil
dence sufficiently conclusive to me was
introduced to show that four of the
votes cast for Lorimer were obtained
by the use of money and that the
bribers were three other members of
the legislature who also voted for
Lorimer. Therefore, seven corrupt
votes were cast for Lorimer, and since
he received only six more votes than
were necessary for his election, he
lacked one legal vote of being actually
elected"
did any of the other members OF
the committee hold views similar to
yours?"

to him that the Office was obtained for
Mr.. Lorimer by corrupt influences. He
