proposition made to him, and az he
had promptly refused 1t. he had felt
justified in remaining silent for almost
two years, and was induced to cpeak
only to save his friend, Herman H.
Kohlsaat, from punishment for con-
tempt.
Even then Mr.. Funk was not an
over-friendly witness, and gave the
name of Edward Tilden only after
much argument and after being or
dered to do so by Chairman Helm on
vote of the other senators.
Following the examination of MT
Funk the committee held an executive
session, and then adjourned until April
10.
Former Senator Albert J. Hopkins
and former State Senator Cyril r. Jan.
dus, who have been subpoenaed, will
be notified that they need not appear
until that date.
The delay was caused by the sensa.
tional developments of the day. and is
needed to secure an orderly presenta-
ton of the testimony which now OBJ
viously ranks first In Importance.
Others May BE Called.
The members Of the committee are
close mouthed as to their intentions,
but say that every one" will be called
in logical order" This Is taken to
mean that Mr.. Mccormick, president,
and Edgar A. Bancroft, general coun-
sci for the International Harvester
company, to whom Mr.. Funk related
the story of his first encounter with
Mr.. Hines, will be subpoenaed to cor
roborate him.
1t is certain that Mr.. Tilden will be
called upon to testify II he can be
found and served with subpoena.
Mr.. Hines may be given another
chance to testify on the theory that
his recollection NAV have been ire
freshed" by the publication of Mr..
Funk's testimony, or because Of the
fact that the committee can now ques-
ton Mr.. Hines much more pointedly
than they could a week ago.
The testimony as to the offer to let
the international Harvester COM
pany Gin on" the "Lorimer purchase"
has aroused much speculation in
Springfield as to the identity Of thcse
who did invest" in the senatorial
pool"
Chicago.-Edward Hines made fiat
denial of the charge that he had col
lected or solicited funds to be used in
helping to elect William Lorimer to
the United States senate.
II never put up dollar for any
fund; / never collected dollar for
any fund; l never asked dollar for
any fund to be used or disbursed for
the election of William Lorimer as
United States senator. / have nothing
whatever to add to the testimony I
gave recently in Springfield and am
ready to return there If wanted and
make another statement"

In the days Of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to Sec
ond him in a duel. He consented,
and at sunrise the parties met at the

words touching the terms Of the duel.
But. although he faithfully performed

For the very simple reason. When

US about 100000, to do IT,"
He went on to say that they

words were these: I'VE had to
act quickly whom the time came,

He (Hines) said: "Now we
are seeing some Of our friends
so as to get II fixed up" He
gave me to understand that
whereas they had advanced the
money, they were now seeing
several people who they
thought would be Interested, to
get them to reimburse them.
We had some discussion back
and forth and finally asked
him how much he (Hlnes) was
getting from his different
friends and he said: "WeIl, of
