Chicago Attorney Says He Was Ii
belled in Lorimer Matter.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.--Another phase Of the
Illinois Senatorial scandal developed here
to-day. when Charles r.. Erbstein, law
yer. filed suit for Sl3, charging libel,
against Governor Charles S. Deneen The
libel is alleged TO lie in an interview in
which the Governor is quoted rs comment
irg on Senator Lormers defence in the
senate. The Governor was quoted as say
ing of Lorimer:
He has followed the course OF Mr.. Erb-
stein. one of the attorneys for Lee O'Neil
Browne. who was recently indicted and
tried in the criminal courts of Cook Coun-
~ for jury bribine, and who refraned from
going on the witness stand 10 testify under
cath where he could be cross examined, and
instead made a speech 10 the jury where
his statements were not subject to the rules
OF cross-eXamna ton
Mr.. Erbstein interprets the interview, in
effect, to be a charge that he was guilty
of the charge Of bribery.

More pretentious than eve was the

pleasure-seekers, who boarded he boat

ORANGE COUNCIL
To PROBE BRIDE
CHARGE MONDAY
Mayor Aroused by Allegation
That Councilman Was Or
fered $500 For Vote.

Mayor Arthur p. Seymour. of Or
ange today announced he would cail
q special meeting of the Orange Com
mon Council for Monday night to slit
the allegation of Councilman p. Ai1eh
Smith. of the First Ward, that he WAS
offered $500 to vote in a Democratic
caucus for Bernard Fineran, of Orange
Valley. for tax assessor.
Mr.. Fineran. who has been away on
a vacation, will be home for the hear
ing. Friends of Councilman Smith
contend he has a witness prepared to
back up his allegation of an offer from
the Fourth ward man. When the eau
Gus stood doubling between Mr.. EN-
eran and William j. Kearney, n
subsequently got the nomination ana
was confirmed after a second struggle
between the majority members, one
vote would have settled the selection,
1t is said.
Apropos of the $40O mentioned as
the alleged graft offer it represents
Just one-half a years salary as as
SCISSOR. 1t is said that a suggestion at
the time was made to create q har-
monious situation between the two
Fourth ward nominees, when the ma
jogity failed to agree upon either, by
having one maj withdraw. the winner
to donate half his first years salary
to the loser.
Mayor Seymour will not include in
the subject matter for the investiga-
ton the rumors of garbage graft and
many signs of relief were heaved In
consequence The public interest in the
allegations of a 81, 500 check and other
sums floating around town when the
scavenger contract was a FIAT melon
In the mind of the wise" was at fever
heat, but the councilmen i'll talking
about that on Monday night made no
specific statements and the mayor is
taking official cognizance only of the
allegation of Mr.. Smith that he was
offered a direct bride.
The revival of talk anent the check,
which was photographed and circulated
among Orange and Newark officials.
has caused some interested folk to re-
sign from the local Don't Worry
Club" and their concern owe the pos
sibility of another choice municipal
scandal is painful.
IT is said a portion of the original
81, 500 went back to Newark, but how
much or who sent it back is a moot
question.
