Washington. May 22.-on a green
Knoll In front of the old Lee mansion

broad Potomac and the capital, a me-
mortal was unveiled to-day TO Major
Pierre Charles L'Enfant. the French
engineer TO whose prophetic vision
Washington owes Its broad avenues
and It's symmetry of design.
President Taft, Ambassador Jusser-

New York. spoke In eulogy of Major
L'Enfant. The ribbons of red. while

Senator Root said that a true me-
mortal to L'Enfant would DC 10 follow
his ideas for the extension OF Wash

Ideas OF real estate men.

lette resolution.
For Renewed Inquiry.
The La Toilette measure provides for
q renewed inquiry into the Lorimer
case BY a special committee. while the
Dillingham; measure directs the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections TO
make the inquiry.
The Democratic Senators will sup
port the Dillingham; resolution. 1t is
likely that the Elections Committee
will DE directed TO investigate through
a subcommittee to be affirmed by the
Senate. Senator La Toilette counts up
on a number of Progressives to support
his resolution. The Dillingham; resolu-
ton follows:
That the Committee On Privileges
and Elections in authorized and directed
TO further investigate the charges
made against William LorImer. e Sen
ator from the State of Illinois. n 10

That said committee be authorized
to sit during the sessions OF the Sen
ate and during any recess of the Sen
ate or of Congress-; to hold its SEES
slons at such place or places as II
shall deem most convenient for the
! purposes of the investiGa ton; to en-
ploy stenographers and such counsel
and competent accountants as IL may
deem necessary: to send for persons
and papers and to administer oaths;
and that the expenses of the inquiry
/! shall be paid from the contingent fund
of the Senate upon vouchers to be
approved by the chairman Of the com
mittee."
Senator La Fallette's speech was q
plea for a reinvestigation on account
not only OF recent developments. but
because of revelations during last ses-
sion's Investigate ons. He delivered only
half of his speech to-day. dealing ex-
clusively with the previous inquiry, md

in his seat and demanded an inquiry
he asked. Can you conceive of any
man holding such a trust as a seat
in the Senate who could sit here fol
weeks and months after his title had
been impeached without saying some
thing?"
He said that the votes of thirty
Democratic Senators for Mr.. Lorimer
would stick in the minds of the people
when 1t was remembered that the
Democratic votes were under the lead
ership of Lee O'Neal Browne. who had
$4,000 strapped on his person. He
said he understood that the Senate
committee had permitted an attorney
in the case to divert it from an inquiry
into Mr.. LorImer's knowledge in the
case. Page upon page of the testimony
