WILL HIRE COACH FOR TEAM
.djutant General Moore is Much Dis

| Coiumbia.-Somewhat disappoint-
ed at the poor showing made by the
South Carolina rifle team, Adjt. Gen.
W. w. Moore returned to his Office
from the recent rifle meet at Camp
Perry, Ohio. South Carolina's team
stood No. 36e in the list of forty-two
teams. This mark, however low, is
one point higher than the team stood
last year, coming out of that contest
No. 81.
Gen. Moore says that he is now
fully decided to employ an expert
rifle coach for the team next year,
liz such an expert can be had at a
price within the funds at the dis
posal Of the department. This coach
Is to take charge of the rifle work
of the team, picked from the South
Carolina regiments, during the two
or three months devoted to practice
before going to Camp Perry.
Not entirely or even in a large
part, to poor craftsmanship, does
Gen. Moore attribute the score made
by the South Carolina team. In look

by the members of the team from

HOPKINS TO TAKE
STAND TOMORROW
IN LOR|hER CASE
Predecessor of Blond Boss
Will Tell Probers of
T. Illinois Fight.

In the presence OF a tribunal Of the
Senate, where he surrendered his seat
to William Lorimer, two years ago,
Albert J. Hopkins, of Illinois, will
tell the Lortmer investigating COM
mittee about the fight in the Illinois
Legislature. He has received permits
sion to give his testimony at the
session of the committee tomorrow,
to save him from the hardships of a
trip from Illinois to this city later
in the summer.
Hopkins led in the balloting for
Senator until the fateful May 26, 1909,
when the Republican and Democratic
cohorts of Lorimer swooped down on
the scene and captured the prize.
In his testimony recently before the
committee of the Illinois senate, which
investigated the report of a slush fund
Of 100000 having been raised for Lori
mer, the former Senator related his
experiences. He said that in the Sena-
trial primary he received $1,000 votes
over w. E. Mason, and 1900 over Rep
resentative George E: Foss, his Repub-
ncan opponents. In September the Re-
publican State convention Endorsed him.
and. in the following January. he car
rted majority in a caucus of the Re-
publicans in the Legislature.
AS to bribery. he said there was much
talk in Springfield 10 the effect that
money was being used in Lorimers in
terest, but he could give no specifca-
tons. His own experience in that line
was limited. A Democratic senator had
told his secretary that he could get
50. 800 for voting for Lorimer. He was
Informed by a Representative that he
could get ter Democratic votes IL he
would pay the price. His answer to
that, Hopkins said, was: Il am not
looking for Democratic votes; am run
ming for the Senate, not the peniten-
tiarv."
Hopkins averred that he did not be
lieve until the close of the contest that
Lorimer would be a candidate, and was
greatly shocked whe2 seven of his votes

Wisconsin Insurgent Will
Not Let Chance for In

The lower house Of the Wisconsin leg
islature yesterday passed the joint reso-
luton, previously passed by the senate.
calling upon the United States Senate to
investigate charges of corruption in the
ator from that State.
The resolution will be received by Vice
President Sherman probably early next
week BY him it will be laid before the
Senate, read, and will automatically go
to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections.
Until that committee determines
whether it shall be made the subject
OF some action, there will be no oc-
casion for the Senate to move. II
the committee does not take steps in
dicating purpose to urge inquiry,
within a reasonable time. then inde-
pendent action will be taken, through
the introduction of a resolution to
demand for an investigation of the
subject
Senator La Toilette, colleague of the
Wisconsin millionaire Senator, is de-
vestigation. The anti-La Toilette
people have INDUCED in limitations
that La Toilette did not dare press for
an opening of the Stephenson scandal,
lest 1t should bring out matters con-
corning the former relations OF the
two Wisconsin statesmen when thu
were political allies, to the discredit
of La Toilette. Mr.. La Toilette, far
from being concerned about any such
revelations. is more than willing to
have an inquiry put an end to the cir
culation of such reports.
That the Privileges and Elections
Committee will report in favor OF an
investigation of the Stephenson case, is
now generally expected. Suppression Of
another Senatorial election scandal Is
considered impossible. in view of the
unfortunate results Of the effort last
session to read Mr. Loamer's title clear.
