4 BITTER FIGHT
OVER L0R|MER.


Washington, Apr. 3--lf the senate
takes mp the case OF Senator Lorimer
again and another investigation Is
made Of his election. there Is little
doubt that a fight will be precipitated
more bitter than the one Of last ses-
sion. Senator'S are watching mar
rowly the results OF the investiga-
tlon by the state senate at Springfield.
The fact that new Investigation OF
the Lorlmer case is possible gives
great Importance to the makeup OF
the privileges and elections commit
tee. Without much doubt. the senate
committee on committees will give
careful consideration to the composi-
ton OF this committee, which viii have
the investigation into the Lorimer
case in its hands once more. IL the
senate orders an inquiry.
The old membership Of the priyi-
leges and elections committee was
badly shattered when the last session
ended Senator Burrows, chairman,
was retired. and so we're Senator's De-
pew, Beyerldge and Bulkeley. Sem
ators Dillingham;, Gamble and Hey
burn are the only republicans left on
the committee. On the democratic
side Senator Frazier. OF Tennessee:
has retired.
Senator Dillingham; is the ranking
republican now, and will be entitled
to the chairmanship II he wants 1t.
II there is another investigation by
the privileges and elections commit
tee. II will undoubtedly be more
thorough than the first one. Edward
Hines, the lumber agent. for some un-
known reason. was not called before
the subcommittee OF the senate priyi-
leges and elections committee. He
said the other day that he was ap-
prised OF the desire OF Senator's Al
drich and Penrose and President Taft
that Lorimer be elected. But II there

THE SOUTHERN
RAILWAY WORK
Making Extensive improvements
Between Atlanta and Macon

Atlanta. Ca, April Extensive
improvements on the line between
Atlanta and Macon, involving the
laying of about 20 miles OF passing
tracks and revision of grades are to
be made at once by the Southern
railway according 10 announcement
given out today by the assistant to
the president. The passing tracks
will be OF the latest design, known
as lap-sidings, which greatly facili-
tate the movement of trains. These
tracks will be placed at intervals of
about five miles and each will be
long enough to accommodate four
trains. This additional trackage will
give many OF the advantages of
double tracks and will greatly in
crease the capacity of this important
line over which, in addition to the
freight and local passenger service,
the through passenger trains of the
Southern between Florida and the
west are handled. During the last
few months the Southern has COM
pleted the work OF strengthening the
bridges on this line and is now oper-
ating its heaviest locomotives over 1t.
These improvements will add greatly
to the facilities for handling both
freight and passengers over this line
and will prove of benefit not only to
the territory Immediately served, but
to shippers and passengers using ii
for through commerce and travel.
The expenditures involved are being
undertaken by the Southern Railway
company in the desire to give its
patrons the best OF service and to
provide for the great increase of bus
mess that is hoped for in the future.
