RENEW LOR|MER INQUIRY.
INNESTIG ATTNG COMMITTEE Sc
LECTED FROM BOTH FAC
TIONS.
fOur Proponents of LOrimer and
-Four Opponents: Four Democrats
and -Four Republicans. Seven
Hours Debate PrcccdeS Decision.

Washington, June 1.-Senator Lor-
inner of Illinois faces another investi-
cation at the hands Of his colleagues.
The inquiry will be conducted by a
subcommittee of the committee on
privileges and elections, composed of
four Rpublicans and four Democrats.
four of whom voted for the convic-
ton and four for the acquittal Of the
senator last session. The methods Sc
lected is regarded as the latest thing
in jury trials.
1t took seven hours debate to agree
upon the system, and it was finally
| adopted by vote of As to 20, being
substituted for the plan urged by
Senator La Toilette Of turning the
case over to five senators, who were
not members when the case was voted
upon before. and therefore were sup
ported to be unbiased.
Before the vote was taken Senator
Bristow, who favored the La Toilette
plan, accused Senator Dillingham;.
chairman Of the elections committee.
of having capitulated in the interest
Of Democratic scheme Of turning the
investigation over to subcommittee
This charge was based upon the fact
that the author of the resolution
adopted was Senator Martin, the
Democratic leader.
Mr.. Bristow also claimed that the
old guard Republicans had formed an
alliance with the Democrats and that
they had placed the mantle Of Aid
rich" upon the shoulders Of Martin.
That the committee on privileges
and elections had shirked it's duty in
the former investigation was charged
unreservedly by the supporters Of the
La Toilette resolution. Senator Lea
of Tennessee said he would no more
turn the case over to the elections
committee for another trial than he
would submit to a second operation
for appendicitis by a surgeon who
had failed on the first operation to
locate the appendix.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa intimated
that the great trusts had busted them
selves with the election Of senators, so
nc 10 influence the selection of United
states district attorneys whose friend
snip Nigh, D., useful in the case Of
prosecutions.
The defense of the Martin reso]u-
ton was conducted By Senators Du-
lingham, Martin, Bacon, Stone and
other senators from both the Repub-
lican and Dem ocratic side Of the
chamber. Most of the insurgent Re-
publican senator's voted against sub
stituting the Martin resolution.
The resolution adopted merely pro-
vides that the Investigation shall be
conducted by the elections commit
tee and makes no mention Of a sub
committee. 1t was in connection with
the understanding on the part OF
many senator's that a bipartisan and
bi-Lorimer committee was to be
named that brought out most os the
criticism.
After the adoption Of the resolution
the senate adjourned until 2 p. m.
Monday.

RECALL ASKED
BY THIS "COP''
Policeman Objects'to Verdict
of Trial Board.

A petition for a new trial for Police
man Karl s. Cussler, of the Eighth pre-
cinct, who was found guilty of intox-
ication while on duty and conduct un-
becoming an officer by the police trial
board last Monday. was filed with the
District Commissioners yesterday by Chap
man w. Fowler, attorney for the police
man.
Mr.. Fowler based his petition for a
new trial on the assertion that Cussler
was appointed in August and that be-
cause of his brief service was unfamiliar
with the manual and the rights contained
therein. The petition states that Cussler
was advised not to appear with counsel
at the trial, and consequently he did not
have the opportunity of cross-examlning
witnesses for the prosecution, which priv
ilege is expressly given to defendants in
section of the police manual, under the
caption of Disposition of offenses."
Mr.. Fowler also states that additional
evidence has come to light, which Will
greatly mitigate the charges against
