REPORT IN
Complete Findings Of Probe
Committee Is Filed
SAY THE CHARGES FAILED
COMMITTEE FINDS THAT LORI
MER DID NOT OBTAIN SEAT BY
5RlBERY-No MINORITY REPORT
TURNED IN, ALTHOUGH ONE
MAY BE FILED LATER.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Bur-
rows, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, today present
ed to the senate a report of the in
vestigation of the charges of bribery
made in connection with the election
OF William Lorimer as senator from
Illinois
The. conclusion reached by the COM
mittee was as follows: THAT in their
opinion the title of Lorimer to a seat
in the senate has not been shown to
be invalid by the use or employment
of corrupt methods or practices.
The charges that four members of
the Illinois, legislature We're bribed and
that three other, members pai4 bSibes
are not ignored by the commissA grhe
report declares that those whd Eon-
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
was a corruption fund used in the
Illinois legislature and that it was dis
bursed by one Robert r. Wilson. the
report says that there is no evidence
that it was used for, the benefit of Lor-
inner. The committee suggests that any
investigation of the use of such funds
should be made by the authorities Of
the state of Illinois.
The report as presented was not
signed by all the members Of the com
mittee, although it did not appear that
there was any minority report. On the
floor of the senate, however, Senator
made the statement that he
had not been able to concur with or
dissent from the finding because of
the voluminous character of the testi-
mony. He said that he would digest
the proceedings of the Investigating
during the holidays
He asked that a specific time be
named for acting upon the report, but
objection was made on the ground that
the matter was privileged and could be
called from the table at any time by
the senate.
A statement OF views, sent to the
committee by Senator Frazier, WIG
was q member of the sub committee
which considered the case. was not
filed with the report 1t was stated
that Frazier had asked that ii be with
held, and that he should be permitted
to file a minority report If he should
desire to do so later.
