CLAIM WHITE GAVE AWAY PASS
Committee Wants Investigation
Completed Without Further
Delay AT Hearing

Washington, Dec. 5.-When the
subcommittee, which is inyestigat-
ing the election of Senator Lorimer
of Illinois, resumed hearings today,
Elbridge P. Hanecy, chief counsel
for the defense introduced witnesses
to contradict the testimony OF
Charles A. White that Sidney Var.
borough was at Springfield, ILL.,, on
the night of May "a, 1903.
f. G.. Hall of Chicago, one of the
pass clerks OF the Illinois Central

cago and Springfield on the night or
May rs. 1t is the, contention of the
defense that Marlborough used tho
pass and that he was In Chicago and
not in Springfield on the night of
the 24th.
When the committee resumes to-
morrow Hanecy will produce George
Gloss, Mrs. Ellen Gloss Il. j. Bell
and William Sterner, all of Chicago,
whom he expects to complete testi-
mony on that part.
The committee showed marked
disposition today to have the in
vestigation finished without further
delap. Senator Jones complained
because enough witnesses were not
on hand to occupy whole after
noon. Senator Kenyon joined the
general request that all possible de-
lay be eliminated. II is the inten-
ton of the committee to hold daily
sessions until the case is closed.

That Rodgers assumed the entire re-

saw the British frigate the day before

but she is not in sight. We have
