CRAWFORD TALKS ON
LOR|MER'S ELECTION
South Dakota Senator Nehem-
emily DenOunces Methods of
Illinois Legislators.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l0-In an cN-
haustive speech Senator Coe Crawford
OF South Dakota today denounced the al
legged methods employed by agents OF
Senator Lorimer In the legislature of
Illinois and declared II his conviction
that Mr. Lorimer was not entitled 10 re-
tain his scat in the upper branch OF con-
grcss.
More than usual interest attached TO
the speech because Mr.. Crawford took a
stand directly opposite TO that of his COL
league. Mr.. Gamble.
In the face OF Mr.. I.ormer's repeated
proLestations OF innocence, Senator Craw-
ford fatty charged that the latter was
cognlZant OF the questionable practices
of his leutenants.
81 regret TO say it," declared Mr. Craw-
ford with emphasis but I am personal
ly convinced that Mr.. Lorimer knew
enough about what was going on at
Springfield. Ill, TO put reasonably pru-
dent man upon inquiry that Shurtlen
and Browne were his political agents, and
that he ratified their acts and accepted
the fruits OF their corrupt practices, of
which he must at least have had some
knowledge, and that he was not legally
and duly elected 10 seat In the United
States senate by the legislature OF I'LL
nois,''
The evidence. in his opinion, showed
concluslvely that the election OF Mr.,
Lorimer was the outcome OF carefully
laid plan, beginning with the election OF
Edward Shurtleff, whom he described as
a bitter enemy Of Senator Hopkins and
n political henchman Of Mr.. Lorimer,' TO
he speaker of the legislature, and Lee
O'Neil Browne to be leader OF the MI
nority.
"a game was being PLAYED" said Mr..
Crawford "in which AT the very begin
ming all party principle was abandoned.
the expression OF the party vote at the
primary was unceremoniously disregard :
ed and the control of the house was
seized by unscrupulous and unprincipled
men with dark lantern schemes 10 pro-
mote"
Mr.. Crawford concluded by announcing
that he stood ready to vote for u resolu-
tion TO unscat Mr. Lorimcr.

The possibility OF a further suspension
has been realized for weeks. The ad-
vent into the commission of two new
members, Mr.. McChord and Mr.. Meyer,
neither of whom Is familiar with the rec
ords In the case, led to the conjecture.
II was hoped that further suspension
would not be necessary, but review OF
the situation today appeared to indi-
cate its desirability, II is officially point

February ].
The commission today informally took
up. with the representatives OF the rail-
roads now In Washington, the PROPOSE
tion further TO suspend the rates. They.
in turn, have referred the matter to the
executive officers of the various lines.
IL is expected that the roads again vol
unfairly will suspend the rates. In view
OF tho suggestion of the commission.
If they do not comply with the COM
missions intimatcd request, II is prob
able that the commission will exercise
it's authority 10 suspend the rates for
such time will enable II finally TO dis
pose Of the cases.
The proposed rates already have been
suspended three times. each time volun-
tarIly by the roads. The last date fixed
was February /. II was expected by the
commission until within day or two
that they would be able to reach de-
cision before then.
1t is an open secret. however. that diff
fcrences OF opinion have arisen as 10 the
nature of the commissions actions in the
cases and these have moi been allaYed
by the arguments to which they have list
cncd in the last two days, IL is prob
able the suspension will not be beyond

The commission today listened 10 ar
gumcnts. 4 novel point against the pro-
posed increase in class rates was intro
duced by Mr. Fisher. He pointed out
that the roads had maintained that the
present class rates had been I'm force since
1883 and that class rate was bearing It's

"As a matter Of fact" declared Mr..
Fisher. ''the class rates in the period
