torical Effect.

Washington, Feb. 22.--ln all prob
ability before the senate adjourns to-
night vote on the, resolution calling
for the yacating OF the senate seat
OF William Lorimer OF Illinois win be
taken .~- "
Senator Beyeridge of Indiana con-
Guided his speech begun yesterday
and he was followed by Senator Lori
mer In his own behalf. 1t was the
intention of Senator Burrows chair
man OF the committee on privileges
and elections, as he had previously
announced on the floor of the senate,
to ask for vote on the conclusion of
Mr. Loriiners address.
A number of short speeches will
also be made, but 1t is believed a vote
win be reached before the days SEES
sion is over
Beverage Replies to Bailey.
Mr. Beveridge's speech was in re-
ply to the address of Senator Bailey
and other members of the committee
on privileges and elections. He at
tackled the validity of the Illinois sen
ator's election, contending that a suf-
ficient number of votes in the ILL
nois Legislature had been tainted to
render Mr.. Lorimer's success the re-
suit of corruption.
Urging the adoption of his resolu-
ton vacating the seat, Mr.. Beveridge
appealed to senators to regard the
case from the standpoint of Judges,
and not be Influenced by their feel
ings or by the eloquence of other SEN
ators. 'a~
Lorimer Not on Trial.
1T is the integrity of the election
and not of the member that must de-
termine our votes" said Mr.. Beve-
ridge, land we must decide the queS-
ton on its merits. Mr.. LOrimer him
self is not on trial 1t has been said
the senator is on trial. do not be
lisve that Rather. II is Our institn
lions which are on trial"
Senator BeveTidge's speech was an
arraisnment of the methods used In
the election of Lorimer. He declared
the real issue was not the personal
fortune of the sitting member.
If that were the case" he said
there was not a. senator present who
would not support Mr.. Lorimer This
is not criminal court" he said. 1t
is the senate OF the United States ana
1t has to decide the greatest issue
that could possibly arise under the
situation This Is the validity of an
election held under government
whose very existence depends upon
the purity Of the election"
Senator Beveridge went into the
law covering cases similar to Lori
mer's, citing precedents in Roman,
England and American law which he
said clearly showed that Lorimer is
not entitled to his seat.

CLAIMS BANKS WORK
UNDER OBSOLETE LAWS
Statement By Secretary Of

Savannah, Ca, June mo other

laws that are so antiquated as ours"
said Frederick E. Farnsworth, general
secretary of the American Bankers
Association, who arrived from New
York yesterday to attend the conven-
ton of the Georgia Bankers Asso-
citation at Tybee.
"Ou1 banking laws are fifty years

along for half a century, with every
thiuG else being modernized, and
worked under currency rules that are
not only out of date, but almost obso-
lete Our banking laws are not adapt
ed in any way to our present needs.
The Aldrich currency plan, which
is being advocated all over the coun-
try by progressive bankers, is meet
ing with very general approval. The
plan has been unanimously indorsed
by all of the state bankers associat-

Business Conditions Better.


Mr.. Farnsworth says a decided i'm
provement has taken place in general
financial and business conditions since
the trust decisions were handed down.
"The investing public was inclined %
mold back on account of the uncer-
tainty of the decisions" he said The
result was little activity during the
last few weeks. 1t didn't make much
difference to the capitalists and bust
ness people generally how the cases
We're decided, but everybody seemed
disposd to let up and await the out
come
THE trust decisions, as we'll as the
railroad rate and corporation tax de-
cisions, did much to clear the atmos,
phere. There is now a general good
feeling in financial and business cir
cles. There is better demand for
money and a higher interest rate
prevails. All of these conditions in
dictate an improved state of affairs
and a restoration of business conf
dence."
With the bankers and progressive
business men, Mr.. Farnsworth says,
the all absorbing question now is the
impending currency legislation. 1T IS
mistake to believe that the bankers
