MAYOR TO INVESTIGATE
VIII Inquire Into Charges Against PARK
Keeper PnrnteE.

Investigation of the charges against
Frank j. Parater. keeper of Jefferson
Park, will be entered into by Mayor
Richardson this week. w. II. Atwood
recently preferred charges against
Parater in communication to the
Mayor, who Enclosed the charges in a
letter to Parater, simply asking for
the facts. Parater greatly resented
the charges. and on Saturday said that
he took his orders from the City Ensi-.
neer and that he had violated none of
the rules and regulations prescribed
for city park keepers. However Mayor
Richardson will look into the case and
inquire as TO the official conduct OF
Keeper Parater.
The complaint of Mr.. Atwood is that
Parater is disposed to exceed his au-
tllority. and that he has been seen
smoking on dut--. He is said to have
complained also that the park keeper
nut barricadc around an area In
which tho fountain stands.
Parater contends that the barricade
was constructed because small boy
had fallen into the water. and because
the workmen complained that the
crowd gathered round them so that
they could not work. He says that he
did smoke. but that such an act was
not violative of the rules for park

One of the striking Indications OF

fact that many orders for engines
placed some months ago have been
increased before the work could como

WASHINGTON. Dec. l7.-Senator
Lorimer OF Illinois was given clean
bill OF health today by the sub commit

The report of the investigation was

and elections, which then adjourned un-
I'll Tuesday, 10 give the members op-
portunity TO study the evidence and the
subcommittee s report.
Evidence that there was money
passed between certain members of the
Illinois legislature was not ignored by
the sub committee. but il was declared
that if the votes Of members charged
either with receiving or paving money
bad been eliminated Mr. Lorimer still
would have had a majority of three
votes.
The sub committee was unit in as
eeTtlng that thc evidence did not snow
Mr.. Lorimer had been connected with
the alleged distribution of Jackpot
or any money TO Influence the lcglSia-
the senatorship.
There were rumors circulated about
the capitol today that two or three
members Of the committee on privileges
snd elections would file statements of
their views, indicating their belief that
II had been shown that money had been
passed between certain members of the
legislature. 1t was the understanding,
however. that these statements would
not in any sense be in the form of mi
nority reports. abd that they would not
in any manner, however indirect, re-
fleet upon the junior Illinois senator.
Secretary Of War Dickinson today
sent TO the house letter in reply to
the McI.achlan resolution concerning
the adequacy Of national defense.
The letter discusses the situation
briefly, but the secret report recently
submitted to the house and withdrawn

LODGE OBJECTS To
DISTURBING TARIFF
Hepburn Fears Revision Might
Endanger Present Wool
Schedules.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Asserting
IN "uumitigated injustice to the best
interests Of the country and rulnous to
the party that undertakes them, Sen
ator Lodge, in a speech today IN the
senate supported the tariff amendment
by sections.
He spoke on motion to refer the
Cummins Joint resolution TO the com
mittec on rules. The houso, he SAID,
now had power to bring in special rules
to cut out amendments, He believed
the senate could adopt q similar plan.
He did not believe necessary such q
general law as is contemplated by the
resolution. Senator Lodge announced
himself in accord with the president 9
tariff commission plan.
Speaking OF the desirability of the
amendment Of the tariff in separate
parts rather than as whole, Mr..
Lodge said that on more than one oc-
casion conditions had arisen which rem
dcred desirable alterations of portions
Of the tariff but that such changes
could not be undertaken without en-
tering on revision Of all the schedules
''It ma" be said" Mr.. Lodge ar
gued, "that it Is easy for the majority
to vote down Objectionable amend
menus Out Inc range - 81 Rieab eo W
render 1T impracticable to offer any
amendment that does not open up the
whole subject
Mr.. Hepburn announced direct and
unyielding opposition to the Cummins
resolution and to all effort at piece
meal revision. He expressed apprehen,.
sion that the ''fine spun scheme
might bring about a revision OF the
wool schedule, because the manufac-
turing states want wool treated as raw
material.
The resolution was left on the table
for further discussion.
