FEAR TAFT MIGHT VETO
SERVICE PENSION BILL
President, It Is Said, Would
Be Embarrassed by Passage
of SuIloWay Measure.

Doubt as to whether President Taft
would veto a general service pension bill
complicated the situation in the Senate
committee on pensions today. when this
proposed legislation was considered. There
are two measures before the committee
the Sulloway bill. which passed the
House, and which would add about $45,-
O00.O0O annually to the pension rolls, and
the McCumber bill. which would add
about $ljCOOOW. One Of these measures
may be reported out of committee next
week.
Half dozen speakers favored the Sui
loway bill as the only one that would be
generally acceptable TO the ola soiulers.
Speakers on the Subject.
The speakers were Representatives Sui
loway OF New Hampshire, the author of
the measure; Anderson Of Ohio and
Langley Of Kentucky. Gen. Eli Terrence
of Minneapolis. John r. King of Balti-
more, past commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r.; Col. John McElroy of this city
and Gen. George II. Slaybaugh OF the
Treasury Department.
Several members OF the committee said
they would insist upon knowing where
the money was TO come from before the
Sulloway bill was passed. 1t was argued
that President Taft would be embarrass-
ed by the passage of the bill, and some
senator's went so far as to intimate that
they had inside knowledge" that il
passed the bill would be vetoed.

L0R|MER NOT SENATOR,
IS VIEW OF FRAZIER
Tennessean Ready to Support
Resolution Declaring II|i-
n0is Seat Vacant.

Holding that William Loriner was not
legally elected a senator from Illinois. on
the ground that seven votes cast for him
were tainted, Senator Frazier, member
of the Senate committee on privileges,
the majority Of which framed a report
in Mr.. Lorimer's favor. filed his minority
views in the Senate this afternoon
Senator Frazier pointed out that four
Of the members of the Illinois legisla-
ture testified that they received money
to vote, or in consequence of voting. for
Mr.. Lorimer for senator, and he held
that the facts and circumstances testified
to by other witnesses made their adnis-
sions worthy Of belief.
Three Other Votes Tainted.
These confessed bribe-takers, he
further pointed out, implicated three other
members OF the legislature as brfbe-
givers. While the testimony is not con-
elusive that they were corrupted, Mr..
Frazier said, it is shown that they were
bribe-givers, and. therefore, their votes
were tainted.
Eliminating these seven votes, Mr..
Frazier said, Mr. Lorimer's vote was only
1Ol of the 2O2 votes cast, not majority.
On that ground, therefore, he said, he
would support a resolution to declare
Mr.. Lorimer's election illegal. He had
intended to submit such q resolution, he
said, but Senator Beveridge, another
minority member of the committee, had
offered one. and thus made action by him
unnecessary. Senator Frazier explained
that he concurred i'm the conclusions Of
Mr.. Beveridge, presented to the Senate
some time ago in an elaborate report,
that Mr.. Lorimer's election was not legal.
