ILLINOIS UPPER BODY Asks THAT
LORlMER ELECTION INQUIRY
BE REoPENED.
WASHINGTON TO GET REPORT
National Senate 10 Requested to Take
Action In Matter-9tate Senators
Who Bottled Hopkins, Primary
Nominee. Are Criticized.

Springfield. Ill.-By a vote of 80 to
exciting session, adopted a resolution
submitting to the United States SEN
ate the report OF the Helm investi-
eating committee, which declared that
Senator William Lorimer would not
have been elected in May, 1909, had it
not been for bribery and corruption,
and calling upon the federal senate to
take action In the matter.
To this resolution was added an
amendment criticizing those senators
who bolted Albert J.. Hopkins, the
primary nominee to succeed him
self.
A second resolution declaring there
was tangible and definite evidence Of
wrongdoing and oflcial misconduct on
the part of Senators John Broderick
and Stanton c. Pemberton and asking
that the Helm inquiry be extended to
May 81 was first given q black eye
by Lieutenant Governor Oglesby. who
said 1t was extending the life Of a
committee beyond the life of the leg
islature. and then defeated. 80
to 8.

Commission for Counties.

Pierre.-While there was more or
less comment about the close OF the
last legislative session as to the posi-
bility of applying the commission form
of government to the management OF
state affairs, it "a not taken at all
seriously, but now the adoption OF
such a form of control for the affairs
of counties is being pushed as a. prac-
teal plan in some sections of the state,
the theory advanced being that if such
a system is good for a city government
as an advance in scientific manage
ment of public affairs. the management
of the business of a county, which is
SO similar to the management of the
affairs of a city might well be brought
under the same plan. Since the move
ment is under way for commission
government, it is likely to be spread
out in its application.

OSBORN BOOSTS CANADA PACT
Michigan Governor Declares e5 Pc
Cent. OF the People Of His State
Want Reciprocity.

Washington, D. Ex-Governor Chase
S. Osborne again boosted the presi-
dents reciprocity program and COM
mended Representatives Young and
Loud Of Michigan for supporting it.
"Ninety-hve per cent. Of the people
of Michigan want It," he said. Sixty
seven per cent. of the country papers
of the state are for it and at a recent
debate at the Michigan State Agricul-
tural college, at which the president
and dean opposed reciprocity and
younger members of the faculty ia
vored it, LOO students. all farmers
boys, voted 3 to 1 for it. There is no
doubt where Michigan stands on the
issue"
Governor Osborn also was congrat-
ulating himself that Colonel Roosevelt
had made public use of an expression
used by him recently in introducing
the colonel to a Michigan Grove and
that was:
81 am the kind OF a progressive who
uichas RI sfay IN the track"

Laws Are Duplicated.

Pierre.-Another case of oversight
in the passage Of bills during the
twelfth session has been discovered
with the publication and distribution
of the session laws. The state has two
laws identical upon the same subject
in regard to the plea of insanity for
defense in criminal cases, providing
that in case a defendant is acquitted
on a plea of insanity his condition
may authorize the court to commit
him to the hospital for the insane un-
til he shall become sane. House bills
70 and 2S1 each thi same sub
ject with like wording, both introduced
by Representative Bracket of Meade
county, one approved on February Z
and the other on March 2.

Rails Generally Lower and Sozu-Steel Eratic
STEEL WAS IN DEMAND EARLY, BUT
WEAKENED LATER-MARKET
SLOW.

NEW YORK, June 15.-There wai
considerable action in the market in the
opening hours, gradually ouieting as the
session advanced to the same old trad,
ing field of action, with fractional
profits sufficient inducement for the
quick changing Of transactions.
At the opening Steel common stood
out in the transactions clearly and with
a splendid show of strength, even while
the rest Of the list was showing evil
dence of weakness.
Most of the iron papers sent out In
formation of an encouraging character
regarding business. The Iron Age said:
THE steel market presents more
cheerful appearance. The feeling In
Pittsburg is that tho worst is over ard
from this time on improvement Is ex-
pected. The recent reduction In prices
seems to have made good. The volume
of new business have increased and
new business N sight. Bookings have
been larger than those Of the previous
week"
It must also be admitted that the
investigation by the Stanley commit
tee has not been prolific in the kind
of results the commission desires. In
deed, the chairman has acted a bit
peeved during the last day or two at
the inability to obtain the particular
brand of results that he desires. The
willingness of the Steel officials to go
even deeper than Mr. Stanley cares to
delve has bothered him. Nothing has
been found in the purchase of the
Pittsburg coal lands by the grand
jury of the United States court at
Pittsburg on which to base an indlct-
ment of the corporations officials.

NELSON DECLARES
F.. TAFT IS INVADING
CONGRESS- RIGHTS
Charges President With Try
ing to Evade Constitution
In Reciprocity Pact.

President Taft was charged on the
floor Of the Senate this afternoon with
invading the rights Of Congress in the
negotiation of the reciprocity agree
ment. The charge was made by Sena-
tor Nelson of Minnesota, who declared
the action of the President was both
unconstitutional and utterly unwar-
ranted."
Senator Nelson charged that the
President was seeking to evade the
treaty-making provision Of the Con-
stitution. He said the action was
without precedent. He maintained that
the President was trying to get treaty
or agreement with a foreign country
put through by a majority vote instead
of two-thirds vote. and that this
was unlawful.
Senator Nelson attacked the agree
ment on the ground 1t was unfair to the
farmers, but the argument he made
against the alleged unlawful course of
the President was the most striking
part Of his remarks.
