LORIMER INQUIRY
WILL Be RESUMED
Feeling Is Strong that Sen.
ator Will Lose.

Among the political productions billed
Tor an early revival is the case of Sena-
tor Lorimer, OF Illinois, which is sched-
uled for resumption in Chicago to-mor-
row.
When the Lorimcr investigating COM
mittee took recess shortly before the
adjournment of the extraordinary ses-
sion of Congress. last August, it had
only partly completed its inquiry into
the circumstances of the alleged bribery
and fraud in connection with Senator
Lorimer's election. Chairman DiIling-
ham will call his committee together,
probably Friday, to continue the taking
OF testimony. of which there is mucn
more of Importance to be heard.
The evidence went around in a circle.
however and when the subject was
temporarily laid aside the committee
had little. il any. more information con-
cerning 1t than when IL started. In
fact, the first few weeks of the hearing
concerned Edward Hines. the million
aire lumberman and LOrimer hacker,
far more than it did the election of
Lorimer to the Senate.
At the former hearings he did not 20
upon the witness stand. but reserved
what he had to say until he made his
speech in the Senate. Some OF his op-
ponents criticised him severely for that
course. as they maintained that there
was no opportunity for cross-examina-
ton. or to have such cross-examination
in the evidence.
There is strong feeling among those
who have followed the case that Senator
Lorimer will lose out in the end. Even
some of his friends fear that the matter
is very largely prejudEed against him.
They are also fearful that public senti-
ment, as they say, rather than evidence,
Will determine the issue as to whether
or not he shall retain his seat There
seems to be little II any probability that
Senator Lorimer will resign, but that he
will hold on to the end, and IL he is
ousted by vote of the Senate, it is said
that he will seek a reelection as a vim
dicatiOn. This would be calculated to
stir things political in Illinois as they
have not been stirred before in many a
year, despite the rivalry of the various
Republican factions which have been
fighting each other for years. Such
contingency might result in a deadlock
which would deprive the State of one OF
its representatives in the Senate

month ago. The weapon was dis

Yesterday was a glorious one for the
tour candidates.
At early morning the great triumphal

votes that have been accommodating for
several days found their way to the

From every direction, hurrying and
scurrying. through the mails, came bal
lots, until the storm grew into a regu-
lar tornado of votes that piled scores
up in numbers far in excess of the ex-
pectations of the Tour Department. and
all the while a constant procession of
men and women, children and uniformed
attendants of different business houses
which have placed a representative can
didate in the field. came each with but
one thought and the inevitable question:
Where can | deposit my votes?"
Flushed with the joy OF success. the
candidates themselves were in much
prominence. each one seemingly deter
mined to make a good showing at the
next vote announcement, which will ap-
pear tomorrow.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-04-11

in Hartford
 Commissioner John F. Brady stated to the board that he, in company with Senators Garry Paddock and MeltZer of this city, made an inspection of the school, Saturday. Senator Meltzer, he stated, was much opposed to bonding, but when he saw the condition of the school, he was converted, and is now one of it's strongest advocates.
 In commenting on Commissioner Wooster's plan to build an addition to the school, Superintendent Deane explained that by the time the addi- ton was completed, the school would again be so overcrowded that another addition would have to be erected on another wing.
 Some of the commissioners were considerably taken back when Dr. Deane explained that though condi- tions had been relieved greatly by the two sessions, morning and afternoon, that between 50 and 75 pupils were either seeking their educations else where or were working, because of the fact that they could not attend the morning session of the school. The children were compelled to remain away from school because the city could not provide them with the nec- essary accommodations.
 You see,'' said Commissioner Chal- lenger, ''by this inconvenience, the parents pay money for the education of their children in private institutions instead of the city taking care of them aS they ShOuld''
