/, Appeals for RECIPROCITY"
Sen. Frye on Way Home But Says
He VIII Return In December.

Washington, May Authorizations
concerning the election of Sen. Lori.
mer Of Illinois may be expected as the
result of second investigation into
the bribery charges against Lorimer
If the predictions made by Sen. La
Toilette in the delivery today of the
third instalment of his argument in
support of his resolution of inquiry are
realized
La Toilette prophesied that more
than twice the 100000 heretofore al
legged to have been used would be
found to have been spent in Lorimers
behalf. and reiterated that Lorimer had
personal cognizance of the use of mon
ey in his behalf.
There is a mine of facts which l
venture to predict will be opened UP
and will be more shocking and apppall-
ing than any that has yet been reveal
ed I" he declared.
La Toilette quoted from the testi-
mony given by Edward Hines. A Chi
cago lumberman, before the Lorimer
investigation committee of the Illinois
Legislature regarding Mr.. Hines in
teryiews with United States Senators
Aldrich and Penrose, in which Mr..
Hines said that Aldrieh repeatedly inn
pressed upon him the Importance of
Lorimer's election and told him that
President Taft was especially concern
ed in Mr.. Lorimer's behalf
''There is no proof that the President
was interfering" La Toilette said. ''but
think that there was a scheme to put
Lorimer through. and it was believed
that the use of the Presidents name
would be potential 1t helped to infiu-
euee members who could not be reached
otherwise"
Discussing Hines activity in the Lor-
inner campaign which was accounted for
on the ground that Lorimer would favor
a duty on lumber, La Toilette said that
during the recent investigation of the
Lerimer case by the Senate Hines was
much in evidence about the capital at
Washington.
He said that Hines appeared again at
the opening up of the question this ses-
sion. Then evidently referring to the
election of Senator Stephenson of Wis
consin, though not mentioning his name.
Mr.. La Toilette said:
an another senatorial campaign in
Wisconsin his tHines) henchmen were
VIGOROUSLY active for the successful can
didate and his principal agent has not
dared to remain within the borders of the
state"
La Toilette declared that he had no
personal feeling in the matter. but that
his motive was to prevent the under
mining of the government by corrupt
| influences.
La Toilette quoted much of the tes-
timony taken by the Illinois Legisla-
| ture to support his contention that
T.orimer knew of the use of money in
| his interest, and he hoped that the
Senate would find the men back of
| this infamy no matter how high up
they may be in the financial world !"
| He referred to the interference by
Judge Petit of Chicago il the investi-
cation of the accounts of E. c. 1ilden.

seers, and 1t was little short Of a
miracle that no lives were lost.
The accident was due to de lsc fog
which enveloped the port and sur
rounding waters during the early
morning. Neither the excursion
boats officers nor those of the war
ship were aware of the proximity OF
the other until the crash was newt
able Despite instantaneous reversal
of the engines, the warship struck the
Magali with such force as to stave in
large section of her upper works and
to damage her seriously below the
water line.
There was wild panic on board
the excursion boat when the collision
occurred and a great number of men
and women Jumped overheard before
the officers could restore calm. The
sirens of the two ships. however,
brought a swarm of other craft, large
and small, to the scene OF the acci
dent. and It is believed that every
one who went overheard was picked
up. Some thirty or forty persons
were taken out OF the water.
The Magall under her own steam
and conveyed by several excursion
boats finally headed for the nearest
landing place, where 1t landed al
the passengers. 1t was found tha'
twenty or thirty persons had beer
