Nobody at Washington is talking
about the presidency" he said. The
subject is not discussed there. but
there are some newspapers who would
have you believe that the presidency Is
the only matter under discussion at
Washington Whatever talk there is
about the presidency is done outside
of Washington.
senator Kern also made it plain that
there will be a thorough investigation
of the Lorimer case when the senate
committee tackles the case. Every body
in the senate is in favor of a complete
and full investigation he said The
senate investigation this time will be
different from the Illinois legislative
investigation of tho case When the
Illinois legislature made Its investiga-
ton one witness who was summoned
to testify refused to produce the books.
and a Chicago judge decided that the
Legislature could not compel him to
bring them in. 1t will be vastly diff
ferent with the senate Investigation
The senate committee will have full
] power to compel witness to attend
and the senate can compel him to testi-
! fly. If a witness refuses to ties tify the
| committee will report him to the SEN
ate. and that body has plenary power
to imprison him until he does testify.
The United States supreme court has
decided that question. The senate
committee will uncover the source OF
the money which Is said to have been

however, he came down off his high
horse and decided to permit the demo-
Gratis to vote for a small tariff. Sena-
tor Kern favors the bill as agreed on
by the caucus.
TT IS a long step in the direction of
what we have been working for for
years." he said. TT is not all we would
like to have. but when we can't get ali
we want we ought to take the next
best thing. 1t will mean more for
in the long run"
Mr.. Kern has greatly pleased when
he learned that 1t was decided at Wash
ington yesterday to put Senator Ken
yon. the new republican senator from
Iowa, on the Lorimer Investigating
committee.
Senator Kenyon has been interested
In the prosecution OF some of the in
terests which have been accused of be-
ing connected with the Lorimer cleo
ton. and he knows all about them. He
will be a valuable man on tie commit
tee. for he will know just how to go
after them. The interests do not want
Senator Kenyon on the committee, and
this is one good reason why he ought
to be there"
One of the most interesting things
now going on, said Senator Kern. is
the series of Investigations of the vari-
Gus government departments He says
some of the disclosures show absolute
ly criminal expenditures.
For instance" he said. "one man
showed me a set of figures which
/ showed that the war department had
shipped a carload of salt from New
York to San Francisco and that the
freight charges were double the value
of the salt In another instance the
war department shipped some provi-
sions from Chicago to New Orleans by
/ express, and the charges were more
than the value of the provisions. which
/ could have been purchased at New Or
leans as cheaply in Chicago"

CONSTRUCTION FORE
MAN is RECOVERING

Mike Gaynor. the foreman OF the
Gary Heat. Light and Water company,
who was attacked and badly cut with
a razor about the face yesterday morn
ing by four Italians. is recovering
nicely at Mercy hospital.
All efforts to capture the men who
committed the dastardly act by the po-
lice have failed. although Captain Gus
Newman and a squad of men searched
the territory on the west side where
the encounter took place for hours yes
terday.
Only minute descriptions of the men
were secured and although the police
have shotgun dropped by one of the
men when he was chased. the fugitives
were too far ahead for the police TO
get good view of the men.
1t now develops that Gaynor who is
foreman over a gang of men laying
service pipes in the west part of the
city, discharged several italians from
the job 1t is now thought that the
discharged men organized the party TO
possibly kill Gavnor for his act.
The search is being continued by the
police, who hope to capture the mem
bers of the band before many days.
