AEHlNOION. a.
December ~. 1911.
To the Colored People of Lexington:
Information has reached this Of
fee that certain cadets on Christ
mas morning treated some of your

behalf of the large body of young
gentlemen who constitute the Corps
aud on my own behalf, both person
ally and officially, l wish in this
public manner to extend to you a
most unqualified expression of re-
greet. That any cadet could so far
forget himself as to wilfully injure
you either in your person or prop
erty would in itself be source OF
distress; that a number should have
done Sc is source of modification
and shame.
Apologies are also due, and are
extended, to the citizens of the town
for any Inconvenience occasioned
by detention of servants.
The Institute will gladly compen-
safe anyone, as far as it may, for
injuries sustained or damages done.

CONFLICT seen
IN TESTIMONY
Witnesses in LOrimer Case Dis.
agree as to Facts.
ACTION FOR PERJURY POSSIBLE
Assertions of Funk and Cook Are De.
MED by Hines-Affidavits of
Marquette Men Also Dis
puted by Him.

Washington, July 3.-An amazing
conflict in the testimony of witnesses
thus far heard by the Lorimer investi
eating committee of the senate is re.
vealed, clash which was responsible
for Senator Kenyon's suggestion that
there ought to he prosecutions for
perjury right here" This committee
has left the room in the senate Office
building, where the hearings have
been held, to meet again On Thursday,
July Is, in the same place.
On the one hand are the assertions
of Clarence s. Funk, general manager
OF the International Harvester cont
pany, that Hines asked for contrihu-
ton of $4,000 to reimburse an ex-
rense of 100000 in putting Lorimer
over" and of w. H. Cook that Hines
said in his hearing over the long dis
lance telephone that he would take
down to Springfield all the money re-
quired.
There also are affidavits of four men
Mich, in which Hines is alleged to
have boosted of electing Lorimer and
to have spoken of an expenditure OF
$50. 900 in this connection
Mr. Funk's testimony was confirmed
by Cyrus H. Mccormick and Edgai
A. Bancroft, president and general
counsel respectively of the Interna
tional Harvester company, and H. IL
Kohlsaat, editor of the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, to whom he had related
the conversation to the first two
named Immediately after its occur
renee and to Kohlsaat some time later
Mr. Hines admitted meeting Mr.
Funk at the Union League club, where
the harvester manager said the con
versation occurred. He admitted meet
ing Cook in the latter's room, from
which the lohg distance Telephone con
'ersation testified to by the Duluth
lumbermar occurred.
Pit Mr. Hines denied absolutely tina
he asked Mr.. Funk for any contribu
ton and asserted on the other haEC
that the latter expressed a desire Il
ray a share OF Lorimer's legitimate
and honorable campaign expenses.
He did not testify to any such pro
posal when he appeared before tn.
Helm committee at Springfield at tina
time denying emphatically he ever hat
heard of any suggestion of money il
connection with Mr.. Lorimer's cleo
ton.
Mr.. Hines denied also he had called
last February at Mr.. Funk's Office ani
attempted to place an innocent inter
probation upon the Union league con
yersation as testified to by the harves
ter man. He swore he was constant
ly in Washington from Jan. 81 to Feb
4, IN 1909
