 The late Edward 1T. Hartman was the originator and prime mover in the consolidation according to the govern ment. With such men as Jacob H. Schiff, Otto A. Kuhn, James A. StVl- man, H. H. Rogers, H. C.. Prick and W. A. Clark, his lieutenants, he is all legged to have manipulated the pur- chase of 100000 shares of stock in the Southern Pacific and to have delivered them to the Union Pacific. This vot- ing control was used to elect Union Pacific officers to similar positions on the Southern Pacific. Hartman was made chairman of the executive com- mittee of the Southern Pacific and la ter was elected president of the road.
 The final details of the merger were completed when the Northern Securi- ties Company was organized and not only took over the stock of both Un- ion and Southern Pacific but acquired control of every road of any promi- hence operating tracks to the Pacific coast. The Northern Securities Com pany was dissolved under the anti trust law and since then the govern ment has sought to prevent the joint operation of parallel or trans conti- mental lines.

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, June 24.-That the Me Cormick family and the Harvester trust created the story of the "slush fund.- of $1O0,Oo0 because of personal enmity toward Lorimer was indicated at the hearing before the Senate committee, today, as the new defense of Senator William Lorimer, of Illinois, in his fight to hold his seat.
 With George Bancroft, general coun- sel for the Harvester Trust. on the stand Judge Hankecy, representing Lorimer, brought out the fact that the taxes of the Mccormick family were increased from eight or nine thousand to $500 000O and asserted that Lorimer was responsible for the in- crease.
 The opposition of Lorimer may have caused the creation of the story of an alleged request for $10,000 con- tribution which started this inVestiga- tion,'' said Hanecy.
 NO friend of Lorimer would go to the International Harvester Company for a contribution for anything he was interested in. Lorimer has been accused of many things here and in Chicago which he never heard, of
 Bancroft said that the taxes of the Harvester stockholders were raised to five times that of any other foreign corporation in Chicago and that they were paid without protest

"What is LOrimeriSm ?"

What is LOrimeriSm?
 eff you will give me three days, l will explain it,'' answered kohlsaat. Ut is not a question of party. Lorim- erism is a combination of the worst clements of Democrats and Republi- cans for spoils.''
 Kohlsaat said in one case Lorimer's candidate for the council was given s1 900 to withdraw in favor of Edward F. Cullerton. who, the witness assert ed was a gray wolf in the city coun- cil, who was in every disreputable deal and disgraced Chicago wherever the English language is read"
 As to his conversation with Clarence S. Funk. General Manager of the Har- vester Trust, Kohlsaat said they met in the street. They stood in a door way for shelter from rain and the talk turned to Lorimer.
 Funk said that money had been used in the election of Lorimer," said Kohlsaat "I asked him how he knew that to be true and he answered that he had been asked that day for a contribution
 Kohlsaat admitted that several names of men supposed to be connect ed with Lorimer's election were men, toned in his conversation with Funk. He finally gave the names as Edward Tilden, president of the National Packing Go. (The Packers TrusD; Rog- CT Sullivan, Democratic National Com mitteeman for Illinois; E. s. Conway, vice-president of W. W. Kimball & Co.,, and a Meyerhauser but he did not know which of the lum mbermen by that name.
