done so.

Did not YOU give il to Theodore
ROOSEVELT"
"Oh, yes
He was asked If he had told the
Chicago detective VINO came to his
Office to see if he had any word that
the newspapers of the country had
e4sanized to fight Lorimer
Perfectly absurd, declared the
Mr. Koh.saat further testified that
ne had written an account Of the con.
vorsaion between himself and Funk
but without mentioning Funk's aame,
to Senator'S LaFollette and Root
This was done at the request of
Walter l.. Fisher now secretary of
the interior and others
Senator Root wrote me in reply"
said the witness, "And thanked me
for the information. He said it had
greatly influenced him in making his
speech against Loriner on the floor
of the senate"
The witness said that LaFollette
tried very hard to get him to come
to Washington to tell about the con.
yersation
Il replied that it would merely re-
suIl in my spending hot summer
in Washington" said Mr.. Kohlsaat.
AT the opening of the afternoon
session Kohlsaat was asked by Attor
ney Marble to tell of libel suit
brought against him by Lorimer in
1898 and dismissed in 1903 by Lorimer
without trial
Which shows a possible ground for
hostiitles to Lorimer," suggested
Mr.. Marble.
Mr.. Kolhsaat said he already had
testified that in 1910 when he was re
turned to the editonship of the Rec.
ord-Herald he wiped out all personal
feelings.
In view of your high regard for hii
personal life, don't you hesitate tx
say these things about Lorimer's pub
lie life?" asked Mr.. Marble.

Lorimer listened attentively to til,

Sensational Testimony To Lorimer Committee
Informed CuIom, LofolIette And Root During
Last Investigation OF 100000 S|ush Fund

Washington, June 2l-Many figures
of national prominence were brought
into the Lorlmer case TO-DAY for the
first time when H. f. Kohlsaat, editor
and publisher of the Chicago Record
Herald testified before inc senate
committee Investigating the l.ofimer
election
Former President Rooseyeit's name
was linked with the investigation
when he testified that last fall he told
Roosevelt the entire story OF the at
tempt of Edward Hines to collect
$4,000 from Clarence Funk OF the In
ternational Harvester Co, to feisn-
burse these who contributed $10o0o0
to put Lorimer across at Spring

The ban Of secrecy was placed on
former president. but Kohlsaat
testified that Roosevelt wrote him he
eclaed lie ausa Of Kohlsaatls in,
.ormat.ons to, attend the Hamilton
.luy dinner III chicago in August,
1910, If Lorimer was to be there.
1t is believed that the Roosevelt
letter will be placed in the record Of
the hearing,
The names of Senators Root La
Toilette and Cullom were mentioned
in new light Kohlsaat testified
that he had informed these senator's
yefcre the senate passed, the Loriaael
case of the conversation which Fank
had told him of Hines alleged at
tempt to collect the money.
These men Mr. Kohlsaat did not
mention because he considered him
self under a pledge of secrecy to Mr..
AIFunk. Mr.. Kohlsaat mentioned
Senator Cullom's name only at the
close of the days session.
Former Speaker Cannon and Form
er Representative Tawney of Mime
sofa figures in The days testimony
Judge Hanecy, counsel for Senator
l-orimer, asked the witness if Lorimer
in 1853 did not drop a libel suit
against Kohlsaat because Cannon and
Tawney told him it was sure "if such
were not done the Chicago Record
Herald would not support Roosevelt
for the superintendeRcy1n 1904.
That is SO ridiculous and no an
swer is needed to it" declared Kohl
saat. He also denied that the suit
was dropped because it was made 6
condition of Gov Deneen doing G
favor for young man in trouble WhC
was I-orimers friend.
The witness underwent long cross
examination by Lorimer's counsel. HI

any one season is the planting
of diverse crops, the harvesting
of which will take place at diff
ferent seasons of the year. He
can thus escape a complete
calamity in the event Of storm
or other natural disturbance.
The man, for instance, who
has made money on truck in the
spring can face the loss of his
cotton crop with equanimity.
In the average for the year he
finds things balancing up, and
although he has lost the profits
of the one crop in the destruction
of the other, he has been insured
against absolute loss on the en-
tire years operations. 1t is the
capacity Of the soil in this section
for widely diverse crops that
makes it. so valuable. This is not
a one-crop section. The lands
are not merely good cotton lands.
They are good truck lands, good
orchard lands, good pasture
lands. They can be made to
yield wealth in a variety of ways.
