HE: DESIRES
ANOTHER
PROBE:
La Toilette Wants
Lorimer Case Re
opened.
cBy United Press

Washington, April 6.-Senator La
Toilette today introduced in the sem
ate a resolution providing for another
investigation of the Lorimer case. 1t
proposes that a cammittee consisting
of Senators Works of California,
Townsend of Michigan. Mclean Of
Connecticut, Kern of Indiana. Pom
creme of Ohio. al new senators, shall
conduct the investigation.
There is no doubt but what the re-
cent revelation of Fl. II. Kohlsaat OF
the Chicago Record-Herald and of
Clarence S. Funk of the International
Harvester company before the senate
bribery investigating committee at
Springfield, Illinois, was the direct
cause of La Follette's resolution.
Kohlsaat said some time ago that
he had information that was very val
liable in regard to the Lorimer $780,
900 slush fund. but it was not until
Wednesday that Kohlsaat revealed the
source of information.
The knowledge given forth by Funk
seems to indicate that despite the
fact that Lorimer was freed from the
bribery charges by the senate he was
in reality guilty man.
Funk testified to a conversation with
Edward C. Hines, the Chicago lumber
king, shortly after tine Lorimer cleo
ton
The witness said:
The conversation took place in the
Union League club. 1t was an aci-
dental meeting. He said the he had
been wanting to see me and we sat
IN the lounging room.
Hines said to me without prelim-
inary. Well, We put Lorimer over, but
it cost us $4,000 to do So
He said, We had TO act quickly so
that it became necessary for us to put
up the money. Now We are seeilg
some of our friends to get 1t fixed up
He gave me to understand that they
wanted to be reimbursed and asked
him why he came to us, and he said:
You are as interested as any one
in having the right kind of man in
Washinbton. q"
Il told him that We would have
nothing to do with it He said that ne

CONSOLIDATE
TWO TOWNS
South Canon WooId Gain a
Great Deal by the
Fusion.

There has been considerable talk
among property owners on both sides
of the river of late in relation to the
consolidation of North and South Can
on. and, it is probable, that the matter
will be actively agitated during the
next few months. The people of South
Canon are anxious to have water
mains laid in the public streets, and,
as Canon City is in position to supply
their necessities in that respect, it IS
believed the fusion of the two COM
munities can be brought about by con-
Meeting them with the splendid water
system on this side of the river,
.Hhe people of South Canon woul@
have much to gain by such a union in
the matter of improved streets, bet
ter sidewalks, etc, and many of them
are convinced that the advantages
that would accrue to them from con-
solidation would more than offset die
surrender of their municipal admin
istration. South Canon would assume
none of the existing liabilities or ia-
debtedness of Canon City by the su-
sion. although, of course, would be re-
sponsible for all of its own debts and
of the union. The interests of the two
towns are identical and by consolida-
ton they would accomplish more for
the public good than is possible with
two municipal governments and or
ganizations

who in the past few years have made
profits ranging from $3.50 to $7OO net
to the acre on Asparagus and Rhu-
barb. There is one reason why these
crops are very valuable to the grow
er. They never fail on account of
frost A heavy freeze may kill all the
apples, cherries, pears, and even most
of the Strawberries, but it can't put
Asparagus and Rhubarb out of busi-
ness. AS soon as the cold spell is over
they come on again and continue to
bring in the money even into July and
August. Both of these crops need ex-
ceptionally rich soil and will pay big
returns on heavily fertilized land.
One great mistake many people maze
in growing these vegetables is in try
ing to enrich the land after the crop
is in, instead of preparing it thor
oughly before the plants are set. OF
course these crops should be fertil-
lied some every year, but the main
point is to have the soil right to begin
with. Rhubarb does equally well on
sandy or adobe soil. but Asparagus
makes better growth on sandy soil o.
light adobe with some shale.
The time for planting is in March
and April. early in March for Rhubarb
and any time during April for Aspara-
gus. although either will grow planted
any time during spring or early sum-
mer The market for both these vege-
tables has been very good the past
two or three years.

IOWA CENTRAL
LEASE CLOSED
Passes Under Management
of the Minneapolis and St.
Louis Road

New York, Nov. THE terms of
the proposed lease Of the Iowa Central
Railway company to the Minneapolis
& st. Louis Railroad company were
agreed to today at q point meeting of
the committees acting for the two
properties. subject to the approval of
the directors and shareholders at the
meetings to be held in December.
The Iowa Central is to convey its
property subject only to its funded and
other debt, but with $2.500,000 addi-
tional money provided for corporate
purposes. The distribution of securi-
ties will be made upon a basis which
the directors Of the Iowa Central Rail-
way company may determine and the
shareholders approve of. and which
also must be satisfactory to the Min
neapolis & st. Louis Railroad COM
scribe for part of the new bonds which
will be underwritten.
The present capitalization Of the
Iowa Central is $5,674.309 preferred
and $5.535.623 common stock, while
lied at 34,000.000 preferred and $6.-
100000 common. Under the propos-
cd combination the aggregate capital
stock outstanding will be reduced to
35se17,0o0 preferred aud $15,370,28o
common stock.
This means that the preferred shares
OF the two companies will be cut down
from $9.674.000 to little more than
half that sum, while the new common
stock will be increased from $14.525.-
623 to $15,370.200. The new COM
pany will also be provided with $2,-
