DIRECT ELECTION PLAN
ALARMS STANDPAT SENATOR
He Would Ignore Popular CIamor and
Use System That Belongs To Act
Now Dead.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Senator
Lodge. in the senate today, declared
that in the proposition to give the
states full control of the election OF
senators, lies danger, that strikes at
the foundation OF government.
While opposed to the election Of
senators by popular vote, he said he
had never exaggerated the Importance
of altering the constitution 10 make
such elections possible.
As TO the feature of the resolution
pending in the senate giving exclusive
IL was a proposal (which | confess
has filled me with amazement.
ITO take the election OF senators
from legislatures, leaving II TO di-
rect popular vote Is simply change
in the mechanism of government II
does not touch the principles upon
which the government rests.
Reduced to its simplest form. an
amendment providing for the choice
OF senators by direct popular election
is merely proposition to convert the
senate into second house OF repre-
sentatives with two congressman nj
large from each state who are to be
called senators and to hold Office for
six years.
1T is now proposed TO put the United
states government, so far as the cleo
ton Of senators is concerned. at the
mercy Of the states. II is proposed
to take from the United States any
power to protect its own citizens In
the exercise of their rights. no mat
ter how great the need might be for
such protection. n this amendment
should become a law, % states. In
Guiding perhaps only minority OF the
population. could at any moment ar
rest the movement OF the government
and stop all its operations. To change
the mechanism OF choosing senators,
or presidents, or Representatives Is a
serious matter requiring careful con
sideration, but this new proposition
strikes at the very root OF the nations
al government.
Il cannot believe that the country
would tolerate II if Il we're once un-
derstood. Too much has been sacri'
feed to preserve the union OF the
states and to maintain the national
government. to permit any tamperine
with those clauses which guard its
very life"

The reverse suffered yesterday by
Gen. Orozco when he attempted TO
cut on Rabago and his 800 men. who
were being rushed TO the relief of the
Juarez garrison. was a hard blow 10
the rebel leader. Failure of a dyna.
mite fuse to burn saved Rabago i
men from being either killed or cap
tured.
Rabago has not made a muster OF
his forces, but declares that his losses
were not serious. According TO the
government officers Rabago reached
here with practically all his men. two
machine guns and rifles and ammunl.

been doubled by the arrival of the
reinforcements.
Navarro's forces are said to be
marching northward with about 700

Col. Rabago escaped from Orozco
after dusk last night after an all-day
fight at Rauche, where the Northwest
crn passenger train on which the rein
forcements were riding was held zip
by the insurrecto chief.
Orozco had planned to blow mp the
train, but the dynamite fuse would

an open field, instead OF n mountain

To pour rain OF bullets.
Rabago stationed his machine suns
along side of the train and directed

CINE. Although the rebels fired from
the hills all day, their bullets did little

No figures are given out as 10 the
number OF injured in the government
camp. Two rebels were killed and

CRISIS APPROACHING.

Chicago H., April S.-(Special.) 1.-The committee investigation of the Lori,ner election scandal today was brought to Chicago. While Senator William Lorilner said he was preparing to return to Wash ington, members of the Helm senatorial committee, who quietly come from Spring field, went into executive session at the Hotel LaSalle. John J. Healy, special at- torney of the committee was with ,he
 investigators when they met. Senator Lori mer remained closeted at the LaSalle Street National bank building until long afternoon. It was said he was in con- ference with his Illinois leaders outlining plans for his defense. He ignored tele- graphic appeals to return immediately to Washington and finally announced he would return to Washington later in the day.
 Senator Lorimer reported by the tele-. phone that he would go east on an aft ernoon train He refused to discuss, any charges in connection with his election.
 ,"..I have nothing to add to my earlier comment, which is that I will answer all charges on the floor. of the senate" said he.
 T am not disturbed over anything that is being said. I am going back to Wash ington. There all may hear my. answer when the time cemes.'
 Senator Lorimer was particularly anx- ious to fortify himself against new at tacks from Springfield, 1t was reported, because the startling revelations before the Helm senatorial committee have worked havoc with him in Washington. Further disclosures at Springfield are par ticularly dreaded at this time. according to common belief
 That the real crisis is rapidly approach ing for Senator Lorimer was indicated by the charges of Clarence $.
