and the understanding is a resolution
for tne reopening of the case will be
offered by either Senator Borah OF
LaFollette.
Those senators tried at the last
session to induce II. Fl. Kohlsaat tc
make snch statement given al
Springfield, but failed. 1t was in the
hope of getting such statement that
Senator LaFollette opposed fixing "a
time for the vote. W
When he became satisfied that he
could not get the information desired
he permitted the case to come to a
vote and it resulted , in the exonera
ton of Lorimer,
Friends of Senator Lorimer contend
that under the senate precedence he
could not be unseated unless 1t was
shown he had been cognizant Of tbs
alleged corruption or that sufficient
number of votes had been bribed tc
destrop his majority,
They also contend that IL will moi

German Bureau cracy,

A good story is going the rounds of
the French newspapers illustrating
the beauties of bureaucratic govern
ment In Germany. We are told that
in the postoliice department II clerk
wishes a new pencil he has to hand
in the stump OF the one that has be-
come too short to work with. In the
particular instance cited a clerk re-
ceiyed his new pencil without return,
ing the end. Before the omission was
discovered the clerk was transferred
to another office, Just after he had
commenced his duties at his new post
he received an official intimation that
he had neglected to hand in his pencil
end. BY this time II had disappeared.
but to prevent bother the clerk pur'
chased new pencil. cut Off II piece
about the length Of the missing bit
and dispatched It to the stationery de-
partment.

Freezing Weather in Europe Gave

Corn was higher IS to TX and oats

There was undoubtedly large ex.
port sales of Manitoba wheat today
and this fact strongly emphasized re-
ports that distressing results to crops
in Europe might ensue Accordingly
the demand for cargoes came from
not only the United Kingdom but the
continent rs well The advance IN
prices here began al the very open
ing of trade and lasted until the fina
taps for the gong.
Buying seemed confined almost en-
tirely to shorts who were taking Pre-
fits and putting a stop to loss.
Wet weather and brief increase
of cash demand led to higher plane
for corn.
With spring work on farms curtai.
ing receipts of oats had failed to come
up with corn.
Illinois sent in unfavorable report,
