PROBE
TO FOLLOW LORIMER
Investigation of Charges Ex-
pected in Senate.

That an investigation by committee
OF the Senate into the circumstances sur
rounding the election OF Senator Ste
phenson. Of wisconsin. In 1909. will fol-
low the conclusion OF the Lorimer probe
is the general opinion in the Senate as
a result Of the action of the wisconsin
Legislature in laying before the Senate
certified records Of a State legislative
Investigation of Mr.. stephenson's eleG-
ton.
The memorial was laid before the Sen
ate yesterday by Vice President Sherman.
On motion OF Senator Hepburn, OF Idaho,
1t was referred to the Committee on
OF which is now conducting the Lorimer
hearings
Knowing OF the action contemplated
by the wisconsin legislature some time
ago, members of the Senate have been
considering in advance what action
might be taken on the memorial upon
its receipt by the Senate. It is generally
conceded that practically the same pro-
cedure as was adopted In the Lorimer
case will be followed, the appointment
of the special committee by the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections and
an exhaustive probe into the matter.
This, IT Is believed, Senator La Toilette
and his following of progressive Republi-
cans, together with a certain faction
OF the Democratic minority, viii be able
to bring about.
There probably will be no meeting of
l.-e full committee TO act upon the me-
mortal in the near future. Possibly the
matter will be taken up in a perfunctory
way the latter part of next week. It is
believed that real action will be post
poned pending the settlement Of the Lori
mer case, however.

Smoking Automobiles.

Twenty-seven automobile drivers
were fined in New York last Thursday
for running motor cars which emitted
clouds of smoke.
The campaign against the nuisance is
now being waged in New York with
such vigor that it will not be long be-
fore smoking automobile will be a
thing unknown. The city is to be
felicitated upon the energy of its
authorities.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if the
work in New York along that line
could be duplicated here?

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, June 3O.-The Duke of Con-
naught's attention to the John Hays
Hammond family must be a bitter pill
for the IIhitelaw Reds to swallow.
At the great dinner dance given by
Ambassador and Mrs. Reid in honor Of
the Connaught family, neither Mr. or
Mrs. Hammond were at the table of the
host or hostess. AS Mr.. Hammond s
rank of special ambassador is second
only to the Reids. this violation of pre-
cedence caused much comment.
This happened at a dinner where the
places were ASSIGNED. After the dinner
the Duke of Connaught approached Mr..
Hammond and chaffed him about it
Before the dancing started, the duke
invited Mrs. Hammond to supper, there
by showing the guests that in his opin-
ion the Hammonds ranked second in
the brilliant assembly.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY

QUEEN DICK"

oliver Cromwell was a strong
character, but the same cannot be
said of. his son Richard. Oliver
tried q train his son to be q
worthy Successor as Protector.
but the attempt was a failure.
Richard was easygoing and
amiable. and more addicted to
sports than to statecraft. He
was the acknowledged Lord Pro-
tector from September 3, 1855, to
May %, 1853. but cut little figure
as such. He did NOT relish ofncial
duties, and much preferred hav-
ing a good time. The Cavaliers
called him Queen Dick." and
others, still less respectfully.
spoke of him as 'Tumble-dowu
Dick" He was glad to quit when
Parliament told him to get out.
After his abdication. however. he
conducted himself with credit and
even with dignity. He lived In
quiet retirement for fifty-three
years, and died July 10, 1712. at
the ripe old age OF ninety.

ADVICE OF COUNSEL
EXCUSE HINES GIVES
Failed to Refute Testimony
of Funk.

The cross-examination of Edward Hines,
of Chicago, president of the Edward
Hines Lumber Company. was completed
yesterday before the Senate committee
which is investigating charges Of
corruption in connection with the election
OF Senator Lcrimer. Mr.. Hines was
charged by Clarence s. Funk, general
manager OF the International Harvester
Company who testified several days ago,
with having requested a $4,000 contribu-
ton from the harvester company to aid
in paying the expenses of the Lorimer
election.
For six hours Mr.. Hines was quizzed
by members Of the committee: by John H.
Marble, counsel for the committee, and
by his own corporation counsel, William
]. Haynes, of Chicago, without changing
his direct testimony given Wednesday.
MIR. Hines reiterated his part in the
Illinois senatorial fight in which he per-
suaded Mr.. Lorimer to become a candi-
date for the senatorship, and aided in
his election. He told how he had a con-
ference with Nelson W. Aldrich, former
Senator from Rhode Island, who in
formed him that President Taft wanted
Mr.. Lorlmer elected to the Senate from
Illinois, and how he passed the word
along to Gov. Deneen, Of Illinois, that
President Taft and Senator Aldrich IA
vored Mr.. Lorimer's election.
Only q "MessaRe Bearer"
Mr.. Hines denied that he was entitled
to all the credit for electing Senator
Lorimer. He said he acted merely as q
message bearer" The most important
discrepancy in Mr.. Hines cross-examina-
ton yesterday related to the time when
he first read Mr. Funk's testimony be-
fore the Helm committee OF the Illinois
legislature during its investigation Of the
Lorimer election several months ago. Mr..
Hines said that he was shocked by Mr..
Funk's charge that he had requested .
contribution from the harvester COM
pany, and had said that a fund Of $780,
900 was being raised to pay the expenses
of the Lorimer election.
