SEEK PERIURERS
IN L0niMER CASE
Committee Lawyers VIII 90 to CHI
cage Soon-Look Up
Certain Matters."

Washington.-The start of q pros
ecution for perjury between now ane
the next session Of the Lorimer inves
tigating committee on July Is. with
the object of impressing on future
witnesses the necessity of telling the
truth. Is regarded here as the prob
able next development In the case OF
the Junior senator from Illinois
The committee had been In session
but few days when the testimony
which 1t was hearing began to show
startling discrepancies.
Clarence 8. Funk, general manager
of the International Harvester com.
pany, testified that Edward Hines. mil
lionaire lumberman Of Chicago, ap-
preached him in May in the Union
League club, Chicago, and asked him
to contribute $4,000 to the 100000
Lorimer fund. Funk said there were
no other persons present at the con-
versation.
With Cook Of Duluth, Mimi, lum
herman, testified that Edward Hines
had told him of putting Lorimer
over" He testified also that he heard
Mr.. Hines talking over the long dis
lance telephone to someone In Spring
field, the day Of Mr. Lorimer's cleo
ton, and swore that Mr.. Hines said he
would be down on the next train
with all the money that is required"
Mr.. Cook thought Mr.. Hines was talk
ing to Governor Deneen.
Testimony obtained before the in
vestigating committee of the Illinois
general assembly, several months ago
and substantiated by the sworn aft
davits of three men, was to the effect
that Shelley B. Jones of Marquette
Mich, had admitted several times that
Mr. Hines had boosted to him of put
ting Lorimer over" at a cost of 500,
600.
That is the evidence obtained OF
the one hand. On the other, the ties
timony was just as positive-but diff
ferent.
Mr. Hines swore that Mr.. Funk ap
preached him in the Union League
club, and asked for an opportunity
10 contribute nOney 10 MI. LOt lh1c4
campaign expenses.
Mr.. Hines said that three other mer
all lumbermen, and two of them II
his own employ-were present anc
heard part of the conversation. The
one man who was not in Hines en-
ploy was trying to sell him 100000
worth of lumber at the time.
Two Of these three men have al
ready testified They told of the in
cident just as Mr. Hines recounted Ii
but on cross-examination they ad
mitted that their memories had beer
refreshed by Mr.. Hines, as recently as
three weeks ago.
Concerning Wirth Cooks testimony
Mr. Hines denied that he had spoken
of putting Lorimer over" Further, he
said that he was talking to Senator
Lorimer in the famous long distance
conversation, and the dialogue, as he
gave it, was unimportant.
To a great extent, the Lorimer case
has narrowed down to question OF
the veracity of witnesses.

History of Masonry.

1t Is impossible, of course, to fix
exactly a day and year and say it was
the birthday of Masonry; it is just as
impossible to bark back to day and
year and say that on that day the
Catholic church came into existence.
History has left no such definite rec.
ords. Students of these questions
have, perforce, been content for the
most part with legend as to the ori'
gin of institutions.
While it is a recognized truth thai
the rites and symbols of the Masonic
order are of great antiquity, it appears
that the society as 1t is now consti
tuted is little If any more than two
centuries old For this we have
so good authority as the recognized
historians and students Of Masonry.
The fables which carry this fra
ternity back to the time of the build
ing of King Solomon's temple, or tc
the era of Isis and Osiris in Egypt
or to the day OF the deluge, may be
dismissed as without the vaguest
foundation. On this point Masonic
historians may be said to be unit
They agree that Masonry was a grad
ual growth, and could not have sprung
into existence as an organization in
a single day.

Washington.-In executive session
the senate has confirmed Guy D. Golf
for district attorney for the Eastern
district of Wisconsin and Harry A.
We'll to be United States marshal.
This marks the end of a long polit-
ical fight. The men were nominated
last winter, after a contest made for
the Office of district attorney. La
Toilette, disappointed because his
candidate was beaten, opposed Golf,
and StephensdW said that if Golf were
not confirmed We'll could not be. So
the nominations went through last
session
The president renominated both.
Senator La Toilette, after several de-
lays, explained the situation to the
committee on judiciary, and then
dropped the fight. His assertion was
that the old division of patronage in
Wisconsin between the senators had
been violated

TRADE BOARD IS
ASKED IN SENATE
Plan Presented to Control Big
Corporations.
CHECK ON TRUSTS is AIM
Senator NewIands Introduces Bill for
ReguIative Body Like the
One Now Supervising the
Railroads.

Washington.-Sena Newlands Of
Nevada introduced bill in the house
providing for an interstate trade COM
mission for the regulation and control
Of industrial corporations.
Broadly speaking, it is proposed
that the new commission shall bear
the same relation toward industrial
corporations as the Interstate COM
merce commission does toward the
railroads of the country.
The scope of Mr.. Newlands' propo-
sition is far-reaching and, embodies
as well the principal features of Pres
ident Taft's plan for federal tncorpora-
tion as other desirable qualities that
have been demonstrated as lacking In
recent efforts to control big business.
1t is provided at the outset that all
corporations engaged in interstate
trade whose annual gross receipts ex-
coed 100000 shall come under the
jurisdiction of the commission, though
smaller corporations may, if they de-
sire, accept the benefits and the re-
sponsibilities Of the plan. 1t is not
proposed that the commission shall
in any way have power to regulate
prices, but in practically every other
respect the new body will have dras-
tic power in keeping the big indus
trial concerns within the law.
For example, before a company sub
ject to the provisions Of the bill can
engage in interstate trade it shall be
