HARD FIGHT IS IN
SIGHT FOR L0R|MER
Half Dozen Senators Are Spending
Holidays Studying Testimony
In Case. ~

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-That a
hard fight on the floor OF the senate
is in store for William Lorimer, OF
Illinois, became apparent today when
il was learned that half dozen SEN
ators are spending their spare mo-
ments during the holidays, diligently
studying the testimony in his case.
Senators are checking up the line
of reasoning by which the committee
approved Lorimer's election. Some
of them are disposed to contend that
II the investigation and report were
wholly in accord with senate custom,
then the senate should consider the
question OF establishing new pro-
cedure and a new standard OF judg-
ment.
Whether a minority report is filed
may make considerable difference.
Beveridge (Rep. Ind, and Frazier
(Dem. Tenn, both refused to concur
in the report signed by a majority Of
the committee.
The Indiana senator remained In
Washington during the holidays In
order to examine the case. His an.
swer to inquiries today was that he
had not proceeded far enough to
reach a decision Of writing a minor.
ity report.
Frazier is in Tennessee. He re-
served the privilege Of presenting a
minority report. He also submitted
an informal protest to the committee
on privileges and elections, which
has charge of the case.
minority report would rouse q
debate that would cause much heat
among the senators. Even in the alb
sence OF such report, however
there is strong probability of an out
break. Senator Cummins, progress
sive leader, was quoted at his home
in Iowa as saying that there would
be dissection Of the report. Some
OF the senators now digging through
the records are certain to find con
ditlons that will prompt them to pre-
sent their observations to the senate

PUERTO CORTEZ, Honduras, Dec.
2S.-Every detail appears perfected

In Honduras Immediately after New
Years. A force Of 1000 or more men.
including Nicaraguan soldiers and
Americans, both adventures and those
who have interests in the republics,
are drilling about 20 miles inland
from Cape Gracias.
This army will be headed by Gen.
Lee Christmas and former President
Bonilla in an attack on the capital,
Tegucigalpa. Another force of revo-
lutionists has been mobilized at Ceiba,
and is reported prepared to strike
against eastern ports. Disastrous
fighting Is certain to follow the first
outbreak.
German business men and English
bankers are greatly exercised over
their claims against the government.
England particularly is interested in
the threatened overthrow OF Davilla
because of its financing bona PROPOSE
ton.
American, English and German war
ships are stationed on both coasts.
The arrival of the gunboat Hornet, on
which Bonilla and Christmas are re-
ported coming TO Honduras, is ex-
pected to land north Of here tonight
or tomorrow.
William Barber, OF Kentucky, and
two other Americans were seized by
Honduran police an dsoldiers thrown
into Jail and brutally lashed, after
wards deported on the Honduran gun
boat Tatumbula to Guatemalan terri
tory and landed penniless and without
food In the forests.
According to an affidavit made by
Barber and corroborated by witnesses
he was taken by the police OF Puerto
Cortez while walking along the street
and ordered to go with two other
Americans, also in custody, and bury
Honduran pauper. He refused. Bar
ber was foreman of bridge gang on
the Honduras railroad.
The man was taken to jail, sur
rounded by soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets, beaten over the head with clubs
and lashed with whips. The other
two Americans were treated likewise.
Barber returned from exile, accord
ing to the dispatch, to Honduras, and
was arrested and kept in jail 20 days.
He was finally released through the
efforts of friends. The names OF the
two other Americans are not given

Gil chamber. Tuesday afternoon.
Engineer Bancroft was present. to-
gether with T.. A. Burch and ID. w.
Simons, OF the appraisal committee of

the members Of the council were in
the room.
Burch and Simons stated that they
were confident that Bancroft would
appear before the committee or the
council to defend his report, but said
that ii would be useless to take the
question before an arbitration board
such as had been proposed. as the
council could not delegate its power
to summon and swear witnesses. ST
mons said that Barcroft's entire data.
on which the published book OF ap.
praisal is based. was the property OF
the city, and that il necessary, Bar
croft ought TO turn this over, whether
he was engaged to defend the report
or not.
Bancroft didn't make any reference
to this proposal. lie explained Attor.

circumstances.

clared that 1T would be necessary to

appraisal finally agreed upon.
It is expected that the committee
will ask the council for power TO nego
tiate with the company for such an

DRASTIC CHANGE
IN RAILROAD BILL
Committee Strikes Out PERMITS,
sion for Carrier to Purchase
Stock Of Another Line.

Washington, March 1.-THE House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce to-day made a drastic
change in the administration railroad
bill by striking out the authorization
under which a carrier, which owns 50
per cent. of the stock Of another line
may still further extend its holdings.
This is one of the provisions inserted
in the bill at the request of Attorney
General Wickersham and is a part of
the bill as 1t was reported from the
Senate committee.
Other changes were ordered bearing
upon the question OF whether one line
shall be permitted to exercise control
over another line. The provision TO
allow railroadd now leasing another
line for twenty years or more to re-
new that lease. or acquire the rever-
sionary ownership of the lessor COM
pany. was in that portion eliminated
from the bill. An amendment was
adopted to prohibit director Of one
line from becoming director OF a
competing line.
Another amendment, which hat
been inserted in the administration
bill by the Senate committee to broad
Zen the scope OF competition so as t,
make 1t still more difficult for one roat
to own stock or exercise control of {
competing line, was adopted also b,
1 the House committee. The provision
exempting street, suburban or inter.
! urban electric lines from the prohibit:
ton against railroad having IN in
\ terest in a competing line, also was
stricken out.
The expected sharp discussion on the
90 per cent. ownership exemption
! !chieny occupied to-day's session. The
4 proviso which was to permit this ex-
emption was characterized by Its OPP
ponents as inequitable and unfair. and
