BILLY MASON'S BEE BUZZING.
Illinois Ex-senator Acknowledge That
He'd LIKE to Get Back.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Four witnesses
we're heard to-day by the Senate COM
mittee which is investigating charges Of
corruption in the election OF Senator
Lorimer Of Illinois. They we're Thomas
Mcclure. a Chicago detective; Alfred E..
McCordc Of Chicago. an attorney; former
Senator William r. Mason and Lawrence
B. Stringer Of Lincoln. H.. who was tho
Democratic candidate for the United
States Senatorship in 1909 against Nj.
Lorimer
Ex-senator Mason said he had no in
formation about the election OF Senator
Lorimer which would aid the committee
in sscertaining whether or not improper
influences had been used in the election.

vicinity now" asked John j. HeaIy.
counsel for the committee.
u cannot remember when have been
free from it. replied Dir. Mason. Il
have 1t as bad now as ever. regard the
United States Senatorship as the greatest
Office in this country in its opportunity
to serve the people"
what do you think made the fifty
three Democrats desert your candidacy
and vote for the election OF Mr. Iorimer?'
MIR. Stringer was asked.
Il could never zee any reason for
Democrat voting for a Republican" said
Mr.. Stringer. In view of what know
about Illinois politics the confessions OF
the Democratic members that they re-
ceived money for their votes and the
testimony about this election I arrived
at conclusion as to what ] think was
the cause OF it,"
MIR. Stringer said he was not certain
that Roger Sullivan, Democratic national
committeeman from Illinois. was entirely
loyal To his candidacy. The only reason
for doubling Mr.. SulGvan's complete
loyalty was that many Of the Democratic
members of the Legislature controlled
by Mr.. Sullivan voted for the election OF
Mr.. Lorimer.

said: we have come to the revision Of
| the tarih at this time without any in
formation upon which TO base our action.
Again in the same speech on the Payne
Aldrich bill the Senator from Wisconsin
said:
There are many Senators to whom the
experience Of this session has been enough

iect the creation of tarin Commission|
to teach them that they have been voting

mittee. who can answer the questions which
are necessary TO be answered TO flS single
rate in this bill according TO the rule that II
shall measure the difference between the
cost OF production.
Senator Cummins is also on record in
a significant way. On June II. 1910,
speaking in support Of a tar n commits
sion. the Senator from Iowa said:
We entered the last revision with regard
to that particular question THE difference
in cost Of product ionl in a state Of ignorance

and the President wants that Information.
The Tariff Board was created and has
been continued with liberal appropria-
tions. largely through the persistence Of
the insurgent Republicans. Nearly half
a million dollars has been put at it's dis
posal to secure information II ia now
az work collecting information particu-
larly on the wool schedule. The Tariff
Board has promised that the Information
will be ready when Congress meets in
December The President has assured
Senators that he will endeavor to submit
this information when Congress meets
in December The Tariff, Board has its
agents at work in the centres OF the woollen
industry of the United States and abroad,
The information il is collecting will be
available within four months. but the in
surgent Republicans have been unwilling
TO wait that long in order to have the in
formation which they have heretofore
contended was so essential TO an intelli-
gent revision Of the tariff. In fac. the
Senate now has no more information on
the difference between the cost of produc-
ton than il had in 1909. when these in
surgent speeches we're delivered. but
Senators La Toilette and Curnmins have
joined hands in demanding immediate
action on the mos. important schedule.
The conviction Is steadily growing that
the Interests Of the public could have
waited for this Tariff Board Information.
but that Senator La Follette's Presiden-
tial boom could not.

CROKER ALTMONY REDUCED.
Court Cuts Nife's Allowance From $500
to $50 Q Month.

Supreme Court Justice GieRerich
granted yesterday the application by
former Fire Chief Croker TO reduce the
$500 q month alimony that his wife, Ella J {.
Croker. has been drawing pending her
suit for a separation and fixed alimony
at $50. The court said that since the
Appellate Division decided that 500 was
sufficient when Croker was getting SO, 900
year salary $50 would be proper when
he was getting pension Of 5000.
The court found that Croker is gettin z
no profits as yet from his new enterprise,
the Bureau Of Fire Prevention. and said
that when Mrs. Croker can prove that he
Is getting substantial income from that
source she can apply to have her alimony
increased
