TO PROBE THE
LORIMER CASE
Senator Kenyon Gets Place
on tho COMMITTEES.

Washington, June 6.-Eight senators
will reinvest1gate the election of Sen.
ator william Lorimer Of Illinois. They
constitute a subcommittee of the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
This committee, which is regarded
as equally divided as to senators for
and against Senator Lorimer, will re
quire the ratification Of the senate.
This probably will make a new de-
bate, but it is regarded as likely that
1t will be approved.
Senators Clapp and Sutherland, both
a~nti-Lorimer men and entitled to serve
on Che committee, retired in favor of
Kenyon and Jones. Expected opposi-
ton to Kenyon because Of his antag-
onism to some of the persons alleged
to have been concerned In Lorimer's
election did not develop.
A resolution requesting the senate to
clothe the subcommittee with all the
powers Of the full committee was
adopted. If this authority is granted
when the report is presented to the
senate the subcommittee will begin
its work immediately.
Senator Kenyon prepared the case
of the government against the beef
trust that is now pending In the
federal courts at Chicago. He has
been anxious for service upon the
Lorimer committee because he believes
that q proper investigation would dis
close the fact that the beef and lumber
trusts raised a huge fund to elect
Lorimer. Senator La Toilette charged
on the floor of the senate that the two
interests named had subscribed more
than 100000 and that Lee O'Neill
Browne, Democratic leader in the Il
linois legislature, diGbursed more than
100000 of this sum. Senator La Fol
lette's charges made a profound i'm
preston upon the mind of Senator
Kenyon. When the committee met the
principal issue was as to whether If O
select committee were appointed Sen
ator Kenyon should be a member of 1t.
The committee authorized will be
composed Of the following senators:
Dillingham;, chairman; Gamble, Jones
and Kenyon, Republicans, and John
ston, Fletcher, Kern and Lea, Demo
Gratis. Senators Dillingham;, Gamble,
Johnston and Fletcher voted for Lori
mer when the case was before the
regular session Of congress, and Sena-
tor Jones voted against him. Kenyon.
Kern and Lea are known to be anti
Lorimer, so that the committee Is
evenly divided on the general merits of
the case.

"STs- DON'T care a rush what you do
to me. If you don't believe
your own officer who swore he
saw Ranelagh's hands upon my
sisters throat, then this world Is all a
tumble and it makes very little differ
nee to me whether I'm alive or dead"
When these words of Arthur Cum
beTland were repeated to me l echoed
them in my inmost soul. l, too, cared
very little whether l lived or died.
The grand jury reeled off its cases
and finally took up ours. To the last |
hoped-sincerely, | think-that l should
be the man to suffer indictment. But
l hoped in vain. A true bill was
brought against Arthur, and his trial
was set for Jan. IS.
The first use l made of my liberty
was to visit Adelaide's grave. In that
sacred place l could best review my
past and gather strength for the fu-
ture. The future! Was it under my
control? Did Arthur's fate hang upon
my word? | believed so. But had !
strength to speak that word? I had
expected to; I had seen my duty clear
ly enough before the sitting of the
grand jury. But now that Arthur was
indicted, now that it was an accepted
fact that he would have to stand trial
instead Of myself, I was conscious of
such a recoil from my contemplated &C
ton that l lost all confidence In myself
and my stoical adherence to what l
considered the claims Of justice.
l trusted Arthur; I distrusted Car
mel, But she had claims to considera-
ton which he lacked. She was a
woman. Her fall would mean inf
nitely more to her than any disgrace to
him. Even he had seemed to recognize
this. Miserable and half hearted as
bis life had been, be had shown hiI
self man enough not to implicate T..

For Trip to Europe.

US Jack Johnson has engaged the

gagged the room of Herr Bierans, the
chief engineer, and when the call came
for names the stranger sent them In
for his principals, Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Johnson. 1t cost them $3.50.

N ECR0 TO Get
RICH ESTATE
Old Servant in Jersey Fa-
mlIy to Get Homestead.

Trenton, N. j., June 6.-Vice Chan
cellor Walker in an opinion has sus-
tanned the validity of a deed by which
Mrs. Sara VAIN Hendrickson of VAIN
ford, transferred all her real and per
sonal property to John Wilson, a ne
gro servant, who had been in her EN-
ploy for nearly forty years. The es-
tate consisted Of a plantation, mill and
the old VAIN homestead, which had
been in possession of the VAIN family
for 200 years, together with about
$4,000 Of personal property.
The suit, which was unusual In
many respects, brought to light that
there existed for twenty years a feud
in the Vain family, az a result Of
which Mrs. Hendrickson had been
practically ignored by her relatives IN
till after her death, when they clamor-
ed for a share Of the estate. One of
the charges was hat the negro, WI
ant and companion, and John Miers,
a Camden lawyer, had conspired to
have the property transferred to the
negro, with the ultimate object of di-
viding 1t between themselves. Mrs.
Hendrickson was ninety-one years old
when she died In 1907, and it was al
legged that her mental capacity was en-
feebled when she made the transfer.
Vice Chancellor Walker concluded
that when the transfer was made Mrs.
Hendrickson was indebted to her ne
gro servant for many years of service,
He had used her as his bank, leaving
with her not only his wages, but con
siderable amounts of money, which
he received in tips In former years
when Mrs. Hendrickson entertained
persons Of wealth on her estate.
In 1902 Mrs. Hendrickson, through
her counsel, the late Attorney Genera,
S. H. Grey, gave the negro a note fol
$4,000. This was supposed to represent
what was then due him. A few years
later she decided to him her real estate
with the prOviso that she was to re
ceiVe q life income.
The relatives charged that too init
mate relationship existed between the
negro and Mrs. Richardson, the house
keeper. The chancellor acquitted Mrs
Richardson Of this charge. He sale
her friendship for the negro was ex
planned by the fact hat she was ar
Englishwoman and that on that &C
count there Is little or no prejudice
against the negro race.

charge. What, then, was I that I
should presume to disregard his lead
IN the difficult maze in which we were
both lost? Yet because of the self re
straint be manifested be had my sym
| patty, and I resolved to stand his
friend If | saw the case really going
against him. Till then I would con
slider the helpless girl, tongue tied by
her condition and injured enough al
ready by my misplaced love and its
direful consequences.
The only change 7 now allowed my
self was an occasional midnight stroll
up Huested street. This was as neal
az I dared approach Carmel's lows.
! feared some watchful spy.
Perhaps feared my own hardly to be
restrained longings.
This was before Carmel left with
her nurse for Lakewood. After that
avent I turned nv head no more in
taking my midnight stroll. / was no
told the day or hour Of her departure,
happily, perhaps, for US both, for ]
could never have kept away from the
station, l heard later that she was
deliberately driven past the Whisper
ing Pines, though the other road was
more direct and less free, if anything,
from possible spectators. They thought,
no doubt, that a sight of the place
might reawaken whatever memories
remained of the last desperate scene
preceding her brother and sisters de-
p~arture for this out Of the way spot.
They little knew how cruel was the
test or what a storm of realization
might have overwhelmed her mind as
her eye fell on those accursed walls,
peering from their bower Of snow
laden pines. But l did, and l never
rested till l learned how she had borne
herself in her slow drive by the two
guarded gateways-merrily, 1t seems,
and with no sign Of the remembrances
I feared.
One sentence, and one only, reached
my ears of all she said before she dis
appeared from town.
"If Adelaide were only going too,
But suppose 1 shall meet her and Mr.
Ranelagh somewhere before my re
turn. She must be very happy, but
not so peaceful as l am. She will see
that when we meet. l car hardly wait
for the day"
One incident more before I enter
upon the serious business Of the trial
l started one night for my walk al
10 o'clock instead of -. I went the
old way, and. the old longing recur

road, | cast a quick look at the desc.

of a human voice, suppressed into q

Maggie, the second girl, had some.
thing to say about this when the vial
which had held the poison was handed
about for inspection. She had handled
that vial many times on the shelf
where 1t was kept. Once she had
dropped It, and, the cork coming out,
some Of the contents had escaped.
Frightened at the mishap, she had
filed the vial up with water and
put it. thus diluted, back on the shelf.
No 4 had noticed the difference, and
she had forgotten all about the matter
until now. From her description
there must have been very little of
the dangerous drug left in the vial
and the jury rendered the %noncommit-
tai verdict:

of some person unknown"

directions, presented a problem which

pected to solve. ! was allowed one
