LONG FIGHT FORESEEN
0VERLORlM|ER'SCASE
Burrows and Hepburn Expect
ed to Defend Report Exon
Grating Illinois Senator.

The dove of peace lowered over the
Senate today, and for the day there was
a truce in the struggle over the right OF
William Lorimer to a seat in the upper
house Of Congress.
1t is believed to be only the calm before
the storm. The struggle is expected to
break out again within day or so; but
none Of the senator's have given definite
notice that they will speak.
Veterans around the Senate look for
protracted fight over the Lorimer
case. Several senators, both repub-
lican and democratic. are known to de-
sire to publicly express their condem-
nation of the election Of Mr.. Lorimer,
and there is no doubt that the MEM
leges and elections. whose conclusions
have been so roundly denounced, will
have a good deal to say In their own
behalf Certainly they will not let the
charges against their report go un-
challenged and unanswered
There are reports that at least two OF
the democratic members of the commit
tee, who signed the majority report. nave
taken exception to the activity OF the
President In the case and Will nave some
comment to make from the floor OF the
Senate They contend that 1t Is the SEN
ate's and not the Presidents business TO
determine whether one of Its own men,
bers was duly and properly elected.
IL this plan is followed there Will no
doubt be some speeches to defend the
President and his attitude In the Lorimer
case. and Senator Burton, from the Presi.
dents own state, and a close perSonai ano
political friend, is expected to take the
lead.
Senators Burrows and Hepburn. for the
republicans. and Senator'S Bailey and
Paynter, for the democrats. are expected
| tn he the leaders in the fight In behali
Of Mr. Lorimer on the floor. Iney are
all members OF the committee of privi-
| Ieyes and elections, and their signatures
anpear at the end of the report uphold
| ing Nj Lorimer's election. Senator LOTT
| mer himself will have something to say.
| He was an attentive auditor in the Sen
| ate chamber during the reading or the
minority report of Senator Beveridge ano
the speeches of Senator'S Owen anc
Crawford, and he was observed TO be
| taking notes.
Several more speeches against MI. Lor-
| inner are still to be heard. Senator Borah
| Of Idaho and Rayner of MARYLAND want
| to state their positions on the floor OF
fine Senate. Senator Root has indicated
tn close friends that he expects to SPEAK
on the matter, but he declines TO state
ON which side he will be found. on the
| ground that he is a Juror" In the case.
| Senator OWENS resolution declaring the
election of Senator Lorimer to be illegal
and void was formally read In the Senate
TODAY and referred to the committee on
nriyileges and elections. Mr.. Owen was
not present.

FINDS BOMB IN HOME.
Attempt Made to Dynamite Resi-
dence of Chicago Judge.

CHICAGO, January 11.-A dynamite
bomb was found early today in the home
OF County Judge John f. Owens. recently
elected on the democratic ticket. It was
about seven inches long and an inch in
diameter, lead covered, and it's fuse an
peared to have been lit, but to have
burned out.
Judge Owens himself discovered the
bomb as he was about to leave the house
Tor his office. 1t was beside the wall of
his library. where he was accustomed to
spend part of his evenings.
II thought first it was some sort OF
JOKE" said the judge today Then
when l saw that the fuse evidently had
been lighted I thought had better turn
1t over to the police, which I did. / can't
imagine what would prompt any one to
blow up my house, and I think it later
will be found to have been joke"
When the lead casting of the bomb had
been cut by the police it was found to
contain a coarse, reddish powder, which
had become wet. 1t is believed by the
police to be high-power blasting powder.
The bomb was sent to the bureau of ex-
plosives.

TO BRACE UP FRESHMEN.
Scholarship Standard for Entrance to
''Frats" Suggested.

NEW YORK. January 11.-Columbia
University plans to set a scholarship
standard for entrance TO the Greek-letter
fraternities among its student body. with
the idea of improssing upon the under
graduates that studies should come be-
fore social diversions.
Necessity for restrictive measures il is
came because many fraternity
members, especially freshmen, have fallen
below the required standards in scholar
ship. Several years ago. at the suggestion
of the faculty, the sororities at Barnard
the woman's department at Columbia
adopted a plan whereby they restricted
membership to those who had reached
the sophomore year. The result was a
marked Improvement in scholarship
among the frst-year students.
