LORIMER INQUIRY
is HELD ILLEGAL
Tilden and Aids Are Ordered Released
by Court-concedes Right
of Appeal.

Chicago. = Judge A. ]. Petit sus-
tanned the writ of habeas corpus
issued to prevent Edward Tilden,
George NJ. Benedict and William G.
Cummings, all of Chicago, from being
taken before the bar of the Illinois
senate to answer contempt charges,
and also declared the investigation be-
ing conducted by the Helm commit
tee at Springfield into the election of
Senator William Lorimer was without
warrant of law.
He ordered the immediate release
of the REALTORS and assessed the costs
Of the hearing against the senate,
every contention of the attorneys for
the senate being denied.
One concession was made, however
tine right Of appeal made possible by
the entry of Judgment for costs
against the respondents.
If the case is reviewed by some APP
pellate tribunal, it will be appealed In
the name of e. H. Hatfield, assistant
sergeant at-arms of the senate, who
served the warrants on the packer and
his associates more than a week ago
Taking immediate advantage of this
entry, John J. Healy, counsel for the
Helm committee, prayed for appeal
and was allowed ten days in which to
file bill of exceptions. The motion
was granted and bond Of $3.50 was
required Of the appellant.
1t is conceded by those most closely
connected with the investigation of
the Lorimer scandal that this decision
of Judge Petit practically means the
end of the Helm committees activi-
ties, although a meeting of the com
mittee will be held in Springfield
Tuesday.
Whether the Investigation will pro-
coed, it is stated, will depend largely
upon the nature of the testimony
brought out by the witnesses who
have been subpoenaed to appear be-
fort the committe.

and attracted the attention or con-
siderable portion of the population OF

earnest and did not let the r1pald
remarks of many of the spectators
disturb their dignity and seriousness

young women representing the organi-
cations having the pageant in charge,
the Woman's Political union, the Col
legiate Suffrage league and the Wom-

one, in New York took part In the

vor Last Thursday in April.
Washington. - A change of the
date of the Inauguration Of the
president is assured of ratification by
the Sixty-second congress, and it is
not improbable that similar action will
be taken to change the date of holding
the national elections.
This assurance has been given by
a two-thirds majority of both houses
of congress to Representative Henry
of Texas, chairman of the house COM
mittee on rules, who introduced re-
Gently joint resolution providing for
the submission of this proposal to the
legislatures of the states.
The proposed amendment of the
Constitution of the United States
changes the date of the Inauguration
from March 4, usually an inclement
day in Washington, to the last Thurs
day in April.
The date of holding national cleo
tons would be changed from the first
Tuesday in November to the first
Tuesday in April preceding the ex-
piration of the terms of the president
and members of congress.
