OBJECT TO LORIMER REPORT
Formidable Opposition to Action of
Committee May Develop.
HINTS AT TOO MUCH SECRECY
Failure to Print Testimony Taken by
subcommittee is Causing Dis
satisfaction Among the
Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2O.-what may
prove formidable opposition to the adop-
ton of any report to the senate for the
exoneration of senator Lorimer as the re-
suit Of the investigation Of charges of
bribery In connection with his election by
the Illinois legislature to succeed Senator
Hopkins is said to have developed on the
senate floor today 81 sas5 ss -.s-
Several senators are sdeclareds, to have
agresd that they would compel post
ponement OF the whole subject until after
the holiday recess, in order that all MEM
bers might have an opportunity to digest
the testimony as we'll as the report of the
committee on privileges and elections.
Chairman Burrows called the committee
on privileges and elections together today,
and soon after the adjournment It was re-
ported that he had been authorized 10 re-
port the Lorimer matter to the senate in
accordance. with the findings OF the sub
committee Great dissatisfaction is said
to have been expressed because of the fail
ure of the committee to have printed the
findings of the subcommittee. 1t is as
serted there never has been an investiga-
ton in which such a diligent effort has
been made to keep the proceedings secret.
Differences in Committee.
According to authoritative information,
the subcommittee was unit In declaring
that there had been no evidence that Sen
ator Lorimer had been involved in any
manner in the purchasing of votes of in
dividual members Of the legislature, but
that there is some difference Of opinion
as to what had been the result II all the
votes against which there was taint had
been eliminated
II developed today also that some mem
bers OF the full committee believed the
subcommittee should have reported merely
whether bribery had been resorted to in
the election in which Mr.. Isorimer was
successful and that the instructions given
by the senate in the resolution authorizing
the investigation had not called for re-
port of exoneration for Mr. Lorimer. Re
gardless of this fact. no one could be found
who was willing to bring in q minority re-
port.
Individual Statements Filed
Although Senators Frazier and Hepburn,
who were members Of the subcommittee,
filed individual statements, they did not
dissent from the findings Of the subcom-
mittee that there was no evidence that
Mr.. I,orimer had been a party to cor
ruption or any was practiced in the cleo
tion.
II appears probable that the Burrows
report will not receive the unanimous sup
port of the committee.
Nevertheless, nothing could be learned
Of the reasons of individuals for not sub
mitting their dissent in the form Of minor
ity findings.
senator Burrows is expected to submit
the report Of the committee tomorrow. He
has on file the statements submitted by
Senators Hepburn and Frazier and these
will be made public with the report Of the
committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Cspecial Teie-

and Howard H. Baldrige of Omaha arrived
in Washington today for the purpose per
sonally of presenting to President Taft the
endorsement of the Douglas county Bar as
ISOLATION of Myron l.. Learned to be
mepber OF the circuit -.sourt OF the Eighth
circuit TO fill the vacancy caused by the
promotion OF Judge Willis Van Deventer to
the supreme bench.
A conference with the president has been
arranged for 10 o'cloc ktornorrow.
Without reflecting upon others who lVlve
bee nmenhoned from Nebraska for the cir
cult judgeship, it is generally conceded here
that Myron Learned has pre-eminent quail
fications for the place The members OF
the delegation, even Representative Hitch
cock, do not hesitate to speak in glowing
terms of Mr. Learned, although Mr. Hitch
cock is outspokn for the promotion OF
Judge w. H. Munger for the vacancy.
BnIdriEe Talks.
Mr.. Baldrlge, who arrived in the city
late this afternoon, said the only thing
which brought him to Washington at this
time was to do ali he possibly could for
Mr.. Learned and that he would leave no
stone unturned TO bring about an appoint
ment, which he believes would be hailed
enthusiastically not only by lawyers of
the state. but by those who had business
In courts.
-'T regard Myron eLarned as exceptionally
equipped for the position. He is judicially
inclined, he has a fine legal mind, he has
pOise and no man has got collar on him.
He had had an extended practice, not only
in county, but in state courts and, above
all, he has the temperament which every
Judge should have. / am here for the pur-
pose Of helping Myron Learned to the
position"
Attitude of DeIegRtIOn.
Ex-Congressman Kennedy, who had an
extremely warm reception when on the
floor OF the house, particularly from the
older members Of the body, started in
early to round up the Nebraska delegation
in behsh Of Mr. Learned. He found that
Mr.. Burkett had diendorsed his law partner
II. II. Wilson OF Lincoln; that Senator
Brown had performed a like service for
his fellow townsman Judge Calkins of
eKarneY Judge Norris, who would like to
have the lob himself thought a call on the

not avail very much, and so the point was
not pressed by Mr., Kennedy. In view Of
these conditions ex-Congressman Kennedy
and MIR. BaldriEe have decided TO "go il
