SENATOR w. l. JONES
 ATTACKS LOR|MER T.eoislative "Jack Pot' Is Re sponsible for Corruption TO DEFEAT HOPKINS
xv.s,;,ytop Senator Says He Has High est Personal Regard for Lorimer,
 But Exposed "Jnclx Pot Sys-
 tenn, Shows Corruption

Washington, February 1.-The legisla- tive jackpot" which has received ire ouent mention in connection with the dis cussion in the Senate on the accusations of bribery attending the election of Sem ator Lorimer, was charged in that body today with responsibility for any corrup- tion that may have occurred in connec- tion with that event.
 The speaker was Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington, who, testifylng 10 his high personal regard for the Illinois senator still took position against him. on the ground that the jackpot fund had been used to purchase votes for him. MT. Jones contended that the anmating purpose behind the use of the jackpot in the senatorial election had been the defeat for reelection of their senator, A. J. Hopkins, rather than the elevation of Lorimer to the senatorial office.
 Discussing the jackpot which, Since Senator Roots speech and Senator Hale's consequent denunciation, has come to possess exceptional interest in the Sem ate, MT. Jones said:
 .'The committee finds that there was a Jackpot fund that was used for or against legislation. It had been in exis- tence for many years. It had become a well-known appurtenance of the Illinois legislature
 This, the senator thought threw much light upon testimony of the witnesses in the case who confessed they were paid money after the election, but that no promise had been made to them before election that they were to receive any money. and also that when they did re- ceive the money they asked no questions.
 The senator said: .It was not necessary to promise any money; it was not neces- sary to ask why the money was paid. This was part of the system. Under such a condition of things that would natural ly happen Those men who were looking for money for any act in connection with the legislative duties would flock around this jackpot fund and around those hand ling it like vultures around a carcass.

 Could anything pay woman well for sacrificing herself to such herd of cat tle?' asked Nancy. "She never has any privacy; she knows when she goes to sleep at night that they'll be coming in, and when she gets up in the morning she'll see them there again. No. the pri- vacy of the home is gone, and you just get to the point where you wish from the bottom of your heart you'd died when you were a baby!''

 Mrs. Tyler is an artist of no small tal- ent and her decorations were another proof uf it. The daintily decorated china m the cabinets and suspended from the plate rail in the dining room; on the runch table in the living room and hold ing spring blossoms on the easements in the various rooms was principally her own work The distribution of flow CTS and foliage was artistic and effective. Palms and ferns made a graceful back ground for blooming azaleas and roses. On the tea table was a large basket filled with My Maryland roses. The ham de was tied with a soft bow of pink ribbon. Candles and bon bons also fol- lowed this color motive. The coffee and tea urns at opposite ends of the table were presided over by Mrs. George Nor row and Mrs R. M, Goodall. c
 Mrs. Tyler in black lace made over blue welcomed her guests ' in the library, an enormous room In which three groups of women were stationed. Standing with her was Mrs. Higdon, her guest, gowned for the afternoon In Parsan hand-em- rodered creation of king s blue chiffon over green.

 Another group in the library included Mrs. w. S. Brown, Mrs. Robert Jemison, Mrs. J. II. Phillips and Mrs. James Bow ron. In the other end of the apartment were Mrs. J. b. Penney, Mrs. Charles Sharp, Mrs. Richard Massey and Mrs. AL lert Latady.
 The living room was very inviting with it's crimson and green motive. From a Tluge block of ice. in which was frozen a cluster of crimson blossoms tied with ribbon, frappe was served. Presiding over the ices were Mrs. Harvey Le- Sourd, Mrs. Shipman Mrs Charles Leeper and Mrs. Paul Earle. In the din- ing room the callers were greeted by Mrs. J. T. Harwell, Mrs. Josehp R.

ing as to the course of procedure without head there was a complete understand anything being said.'
 "There was bitter and determined op- position to the reelection of Senator Hopkins" said the speaker. There was strong opposition to him in the republican ranks, and it also appears that among the democrats there was also an intense hostility to him.
 Money was used to defeat him, and this money was put in the hands of the same person who handled the jackpot fund.- if it was not put into the fund itself. The money was not money to elect Lorimer it was money to defeat Hopkins. It could be used to elect anyone they could elect so it was not Hopkins. This is the reason why Browne was so insstent that his men should not vote for Lorimer until he was sure there was enough votes to put it over.
 MT. Jones argued that in reality all or the 30 democratic votes influenced by Lee O'Nein Browne had been tainted. Find ing the bribe-givers to be as much at fault as the bribe-takers. he said there was no doubt that seven fraudulent votes 'had been cast for Lorimer. Deducting the seven votes from the Lorimer column, but not from the vote, he found Lorimer to have been short of a majority.
