Sentiment Strong for New Elec.
ton to Purify Political
Air.
NO REPORT ON INQUIRY
Resolution Offered Delaying Lori
mer Investigation Would Not
Want to Conflict With Courts.

WASHINGTON. d. c. June 1.--As

grows darker. Sentiment ID spreading
among Senators that II things In Ilii-
nois are as they seem even after max
ing all reasonable discounts, IL would
be well for that state TO try its hand
again at q senatorial election.
Deliberate In all things the senate
Is especially conservative In taking ac-
ton calculated to disturb the dignity
OF one of Its members. Chairman
Kean tRepublican) OF the committee
on contingent expenses to which Lor-
liners resolution demanding an inves-
tigation was referred. informed some
OF his friends yesterday that he was
ready to report. He did not report,
however
Kean Is the man senators go to when
they want 10 spend from the contin-
gent fund for senatorial purposes and
he occasionally chooses TO let ambi-
tious enterprises referred to his com :
mittee ripen before he returns them
to the senate.
There Is no doubt, however, that he
win report In favor of the expenditure
of whatever money will be necessary
to cover the cost of an investigation.
When that has been done the reso-
luton will go to Senator Burrow's
committee on privileges and elections.
That committee will report to the SEN
ate whether there Ia good reason for
an investigation.
II the senate decides to report such
resolution. the Burrows committee or
one especially appointed for the pur-
pose will go ahead with the inquiry
II Is contented by q number OF sena-
tors that the resolution should have
gone first to Burrows and then to
Deans committee. There Is q resclu-
ton to-day for postponing the tnves-
tfgatfon as the senate would not desire
to conduct an inquiry in competition
with the courts. The same witnesses
would appear at both places and II tho
senate examined witnesses In advance
