ing temperature which has held Chicago
In its grip for three days. causing thir-
teen deaths and scores of prostrations,

ing rain, predicted by the weather
bureau, arrived.
The relief came after a day and night
of great suffering. especially In the
poorer sections OF the city. The weather
bureau gave out S3.6 degrees as the

Only twenty-five to
Oppose Lorimer Inquiry

That the Lorimer investigation reso-
luton will be adopted by the Senate
with about twenty-five votes in the
negative. Is today's Senatorial fore
cast.
The resolution is expected to reach
a vote tomorrow, but this Is by no
means certain. The conversational
tendency has evinced a new vigor
among the Senators. Senator Mar
tin has the floor for discussion of the
case. Senator Cummins intends to
present some vigorous views before
the vote is taken; and it is expected
some others will get into the CONVEX
saZione.
There will be about twenty-five votes
| against the resolution" said a Repub-
lican Senator this afternoon. Eight
or ten will be cast by Democrats. the
rest by Republicans. The Martin reso-
ton will be adopted"
Rumors that Senator Lorimer would
resign are not taken seriously by the
best informed Senators. They do
not expect such a step.
