the engine and made a fast run back
to the city the engineer was dead be-
fore he rea ched here.
Mr.. Mcdonald had eaten a quantity
OF watermelon before starting on his

the fireman knew of Mr.. McDonald's
condition was when the train was

The fireman could do nothing to re-
lieve him and reversing the engine he
came with all speed back to the city,
but Mr.. Mcdonald died before the en-
gine could reach here, though the run
was only about eleven miles.

throughout the city and liked by all
with whom he was acquainted. Before

Washington, July 1S.-More contra
dictions in the testimony before the
senate Lorimer committee today be-
muddled the Lorimer investigation.
Each Of the four witnesses today con-
tradicted important testimony pre-
viousiy given.
Charles MCGOWAN, a Canadian con-
tractor, testified that c. F. wiehe, sec
retary of the Edward Hines Lumber
Company, did not make the remark
on the train en- route from Duluth to
Virginia, MINI, In March of this year,
that a Jackpot" had been raised to
elect Lorimer, and that he had sub
scribed $4,000 to it. VIM. H. Burgess
testified yesterday that Wiehe had
made this remark in the presence of
himself and young Canadian, .
which description applies to Nc
Gowan.
A. A johnson, Of Chicago, testified
that Wiehe made no such statement,
while Isaac Baker, a buyer for the
Hines Lumber Company, denied that
Edward Hines had said over the long
distance telephone to Springfield from
w. H. Cooks room in a Chicago hotel
on May rs, 1909, that he would come to
Springfield with all the money neces-
sary to elect Lorimer. Cook testified
that Hines did so state.
Donald H Frame, an employe Of the
Union League club, testified that Hines
once remarked to H H Hettler that he
(Hines) elected Lorimer, corroborating
Hettler's testimony and contradicting
Hines
HINES BoAsTED.
How Edward Hines, the Chicago
lumberman, is said to have boasted he
elected Lorimer to- the senate was
related by DoIzfd M Frame, "a cigar
stand employe in the Union League
club in Chicago. It was near this
stand that Herman H. Hettler claim
ed Hines remarked to him on the day
Lorimer was elected that 'Iorimer has
been elected; I elected him. I did It
myslf personally"
Today Frame swore that he could
not recall the words exactly, but that
Mr.. Hines said something like 7 have
elected Lorimer our next senator"
Frame said he had been asked by
Hettler If he remembered the peculiar
remark" Hines made on the day of
Lorimer's election, but neither had re-
peated the remark to the other. The
witness said he and Hettler had fire.
Quently "joked about Illness re-
mark"
Isaac Baker, a lumber buyer for the
Edward Hines Lumber Company, was
the next witness. He gave an ac-
count of the meeting of Hines and
Clarence S. Funk, general manager OF
the international Harvester Company,
just as Hines had done, even describ-
ing how Funk took hold of Illness
left arm near the elbow and walked
away arm in arm.
The part Of the couverastion which
Hines said took place near Baker was
repeated by the witness as Hines told
it to the committee.
Don't you regard It as remarkable
for you to make precisely the same
report\of those conversations that Mr..
Hines does?" inquired Senator Kern.
mo, sir, do not" was the reply.
A grueliing cross-examination was
given Baker
The witness declared that It was not
unusual for him to repeat precisely
Illness words and insisted that he had
never read Illness testimony nor
heard Hines's account of the CONVEX
sations which took place more than
ewo years ago.
