tents, was destroyed by fire early Sat
urday morning, the loss being more
than $500, with an insurance of $4,000.
The house WAS valued at $500. The
fire caught in the shed from an I'M
known cause. Mr.. Soulc was awaken
ed by the cracking of the flames and
he aroused the neighbors, while tele-
phone messages were sent to Freeport
village for help. The village has no
fire department and the flames made
such rapid Roadway that when the
Freeport department arrived with two
chemicals it was impossible to save the
buildings.

LoRlMER INQUIRY.

Lorimer did not drop a libel suit
against Mr. Kohlsaat because Cannon
and Tawney told him it was feared il
such we're not done the Chicago Rec
ord Herald would not support Roose-
welt for President in 1904.
THAT is so ridiculous that no an
swer is needed to it," declared Mr.
Kohlsaat. He also denied that the
suit was dropped because it was made
a condition of Gov. Deneens doing a
favor for a young man in trouble" who
was Lorimers friend.
The witness underwent a long cross
examination by counsel for Senator
Lorimer. He was asked if he did not
give the account about Funk to every
newspaper in Chicago. The witness
said that he could not remember
whether he did, although he had spok

several persons. He was asked if he
did not give it to every magazine that
was friendly to him, but this he de-

Didn't you give 1t to Theodore
Roosevelt"
"Oh, yes"
He was asked if he did not tell a
Chicago detective who came to his
office to see il he had any work that
the newspapers of the country had or
ganized to fight Lorimer.
Perfectly absurd declared the wit
ness.
He was asked if he did not refuse
to give the name of his informant
GFunk) who when first called before
the Helm investigating committee at
Springfield. because he wanted to APP
pear as a sort of martyr.
The witness, Strengthened up, looked
at Judge Hanecy. and said:
If there were not ladies present
and then as he sank into his chair
added, Il would quote one of Eugene
Fields poems to you
Suppose you answer the question
first" suggested Judge Hanecy.
No, sir, l was not playing to the
galleries"
Judge Hanecy asked the witness il
he did not think it was an unjustifi-
able thing to take information Sc
cretly TO senators who were to judge
Mr.. Lorimer without giving the state
of Illinois. Lorimer or his family a
chance to defend themselves against
serious charges. He said that he did
not, and drew a distinction between
senators and members of courts in re-
lation TO giving them information.
Several times during the examina-
ton Mr., Kohlsaat said he absolutely
believed what Mr.. Funk told him
Another striking feature of his testi-
mony was his repeated statements
that he found much to admire in
Senator Lorimer's private life. He re-
ferred to the senator's home life as
ideal.
What l have been fighting for 81
years is Lorimerism." he declared.
"Lorimerism. he defined as an "af.
filiation and cooperation and cohe.
sion of Democrats and Republican.
