SENATOR ALDRICH
AGAINST LORIMER
Writes from Florida, bullet
ter Is Not Given Out.

There was a report at the Capitol yes
terday that Senator Aldrich, who is re-
cuperating in Florida, had thrown the
weight of his influence to the anti
Lorimer forces in the Senate, by writing
a letter to member of that body. in
which he expressed the greatest dis
pleasure concerning me developments Of
the LOrimer case. as set forth in the
Root speech of last week. The letter
is said to contain expressions of extreme
disappointment concerning the damaging
evidence which Senator Aldrich says has
been apparently brought out. and goes to
the extent of saying that the Rhode
Islanders vote would be registered
against Mr.. Lorimer if he We're here
when it was taken. Neither the receiver
of the mssive nor the letter itself could
be located, it being apparent that. if re-
ceived at all. the communication is being
held in reserve. to be shown to those
who are doubtful as to which way to
vote in the Lorimer case.
Senator Theodore Burton, Of Ohio.
made a notable speech in the Senate
yesterday. in which he thoroughly ana
lived the testimony in the Lorimer
case. and reached the conclusion that
Mr.. LOrimer should be excluded. He
declared that the members of a leSiSla-
tive body have great responsibility.
and necessarily a higher standard of
rectitude is required than at An Or
dinary election in a precinct or voting
district. He declared that these dis
tinctions should not be lost sight Of in
considering the case before the Senate
He cited number of cases to show
that if the Senator from Illinois had
any knowledge that bribery or cor
ruption was used to bring about his
election. that he was subject to be ex-
cluded.
MIR. Burton paid a high tribute to
Senator Cullom, of Illinois. whose re-
peated elections to the Senate he de-
clared had been free from suspicion of

notice that he would address the SEN

tions. signed the report in exonera-
tion of Senator Lorimer.

resolution. With this amendment de-
feated. it is asserted. fifty-eight votes
can be mustered for the passage Of the
resolution. With the Sutherland amend
ment adopted, it will be difficult to Sc
cure the necessary sixty-two votes to
pass the resolution, owing to fear Of the
States where the direct primary is in
force that the control of Congress over
the method of election of Senators will
destroy some of the functions of these
departures.
The debate on the Senatorial resolution
is likely to run at intervals throughout
the week.
In a strong speech that received the
close attention of the Senate, Senator
Lodge spoke against the resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitution
for the election of United States Senators
by popular vote.
The Massachusetts Senator pointed out
that the Constitution has been equal to
every emergency in the history Of the ma
ton.

Yesterdays unusual scene on the floor
of the House was the outcome Of Satur-
days proceedings. when members of the
body, Republicans and Democrats, round
ly criticised MIR. Macon for his persistent
registering of points of order against
increases Of salary to clerks and other
government employees proposed in appro-
priation bills.
While Mr.. Macon has made a practice
Of doing this for several years, no open
rupture between him and committee
members occurred until last Saturday.
He was then made the target of sarcasm
and ridicule in connection with his pol
icy to such an extent that the warm Ian
suage that passed between him and Rep
reSentative Stanley Of Kentucky, a
member of the Agricultural Committee,
whose bill was under consideration on
that day. was. by mutual agreement,
stricken from the Record.
This would have ended the controversy

An alteration on the floor between Mr..
Macon and Mr. Fahy, and had it not
been for the interference of members of

House blows would have been struck.
Yesterday Mr.. Macon charged that

had prevented the personal clash, were
on the floor to intimidate him and to
protect Mr.. Fahy.

Sinking of Monitor Puritan
Due to Carelessness.

The report of the court of inquiry
which investigated the sinking of the
monitor Puritan in the Newport News
middle grounds following an ordnance
test last November has been received by
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. The re-
port severely arraigns the alleged mi5

cial board on ordnance
The details of the experiment were ex-
ecuted by Capt. Austin NJ. knight. presi-
dent of the board. under the supervision
of Rear Admiral Newton E. Mason,
chief of the Bureau OF Ordnance. 1t is
expected that further proceedings will
follow the result Of the boards inquiry.
Mr.. Meyer has the report under consid-
GRAFTON. and will probably announce
within the next few days whether any
disciplinary measures will follow.
The Puritan sank last November. fol-

200 pounds each of nitrogelatin against

belt of the monitor. The explosion on
her waterline damaged her so badly that
she sank the morning following the test

auspices the test was held were taken
unawares by the unexpected strength of
the explosive, which caused a far greater
damage to the vessel than they looked
