TAFT DIDN'T FAVOR
LORIMER SAYS
AlDRICR
Hines Lied About Message From
the President
ATTITUDE OF WHITE HOUSE
President Wanted Republican Elected
But Refused to lndorse Any
Candidate

Washington July 21.-Tne story of
the administrations attitude toward
the election of Senator Lorimer as
told by former Senator Nelson W.
/ Aldrich of Rhode Island and the ac-
! tivities of r. j. Shields OF Superior,
| Wis, an insurance agent, in collect
| ing affidavits from wisnesses in the
investigation were features of the
,enate Lorimer committee hearing
yesterday Instead of sending Edward
| Hines, the Chicago lumberman, to
! Springfield with word from the Wash
| ington administration that Lorimer
| should be elected, Mr.. Aldrich testi-
fed that he told Hines that President
Taft was not supporting the candi-
! dacy of any one, but that Lorimer
was not Objectionable to him. The
/ former senator said he told Hines
previously that the president had no
objection to Albert J, Hopkins or
! Henry s. Boutell for the senatorship.
| A statement from the White House
last March in regard to the election
was read to the witness The only
point concerning which he said he
knew nothing was the declaration
/ that a request had been made on the
president to sign a telegram stating
his views on Lorimer's candidacy.
The White House statement given
out March %. was as follows:
The fact with reference TO the pres.
ident's relation to Senator Lorimer's
election is this: That during the
tariff fight gentlemen came TO him
and expressed ,heir interest in pass
ing the tariff bill; and said that II
/ had been suggested from Illinois that
| Il would be wise for the president to
express an opinion In favor OF the
election OF Mr. Lorimer He did not
7 know Mr. Lorimer well. although he
/ knew that he was an influential mem.
/ Der of Congress, but he did know
/ Hopkins He knew very little about
! Illinois politics. but expressed a desire
that there should be two republican
senators from Illinois. but when
asked to put that in the form OF a
/ telegram urging the election OF Mr.
/ Lorimer he declined 10 do SO The
statement by Mr.. Hines that the presi
4 dent was anxious for and was urging
the election of Mr. Lorimer is wholly
unfounded.
c. +. Wiehe. secretary of the Ed
ward Hines lumber company, said
Shields had collected the afidavits Of
witnesses who testified Wednesday
/ that Wiehe did not remark to VIII
/ liam Burgess on the Winnipeg Flyer
! last March that he subscribed $4,000
to Lorimer election fund. Wiehe
stated that no arrangement had been
made to pay Shields anything. but
] that he had asked him to collect the
afhdavits Just as would ask a sen
ator to hanu me fan He said that
/ Shields spent two weeks travelling in
/ Kansas, Iowa. northwest Canada and
/ Washington to locate the witnesses
and had drawn upon the lumber com
pany for his expenses.

waiting them near the scene OF the

mirably executed

coach Heavily armed and shooting
recklessly in order TO intimidate the
passengers. they first lined the train
crew up at one end OF the car and
then proceeded to search the passeng-
ers in the day coach one by one.

this part of their robbery. The sleep
ing car was entered and in order TO
awaken the occupants OF berths a
shot was fired down the center OF the
aisle, narrowly missing the head of
one OF the passengers and imbedding
itself in the woodwork
After searching the occupants of
the berths they climbed out of the
diner over the baggage and the ex.
press car TO the engine, reaching that
part Of the train when near Buffalo
They ordered Engineer Olsen to stop
the train so they could get OFF, and
when he refused 10 comply with their
wishes two shots were fired directly
at him, one gancing of his watch
and the other striking him on a rib
injuring him slightly
After being wounded and seeing
thar the men were desperate, Engi-
peer Olsen stopped the train and the
three, men, who were all masked with
pOlka-dot handkerchiefs, jumped
quickly from the train and ran TO an
automobile which they had waiting
nearby and drove of into the dark
ness.
The train was run into Fargo
where the sheriff, every available
deputy and three deputy United
States marshals hurried back on a
special train TO pursue the robbers.
