Appear Before Committee that is
to Investigate His Case.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Senator William
Lortmer today requested that he be per-
mitted TO appear before the new investigat-

committee on privileges and elections by
Mr.. I<orimer. who is In ,Chicako. The com

mitted TO eStify before your COMMITTEES so
that can refute any charges that may be
made or any suspicious that anyone may
have as to the validity OF my election.

persistent rumors that the Illinois senator
would resign. Senator Dillingham;. chair
man of the committee. said that undoubt-
edly Mr.. Lorimer would be given the full
est opportunity to testify.

headquarters Immediately after the ad-

pointed to the failure of the Kenyon
motion.

ing the investigation conducted in Wash
ington to as great an extent as possible.

Charles Ohnhaus, now clerk of the federal
court here, who in an adjoining room

Church of Brethren
Will Discuss Voting
and Land Agents

ST. JOSEPH. Mo, June 2-several train
loads Of members arrived last night and
today to attend the worlds conference Of
the Church OF the Brethren and the high
water mark will be reached tomorrow,
when sessions will be conducted in the
city Auditorium and two large theaters.
Two questions Of paramount importance to
be taken up early in the business sessions
next week are those OF members of the
church voting and acting as land agents.
In the past It has been the policy Of the
brethren not to vote and the church never
recommended that members exercise the
right of suffrage. But lately many of
them have voted and restatement of the
position of the church may be made
It is said much harm has been done by
brethren ministers engaging in the land
business, which, the standing committee
characterized as considered even by TIE
world questionable vocation"

The concern to which the churchmen OBJ
Ject is a widely advertised land company,
or rather a land selling company. The
land. which lies in California, is held under
option and sold on margins. 1t is said
that the trouble arising In the church gath
ering today grows out of the fact that the
ministers engaged in the land business
took church rosters to be used as mailing
lists In the circulation of literature. Sew
eral persons in Omaha are in touch with
the operations of the company to which
the church is now raising objection.
