striking contradictions as to force
the conclusion upon the senate com.
mittee that somebody lied" threat
ened to cause action in court when
the Lorimer hearing was resumed to-
day, with Edward Hines, maker OF
senator's again on the stand.
In support OF his claim that he was
in Washington, last February, Hines
produced bills from Washington
hotel. One Of these, for a five-day
stay, amounted to 1856. In general,
they indicated that Hines was in
Washington from February z to
March and apparently could not
have been in Chicago as testified to
by Funk.
Hines declared ne had not seen Ed
ward Tilden, alleged treasurer of the
"slush fund" for six months prior to
Lorimers election and had never
spoken to him about contributions
to any fund.
Answering Attorney Marble, the
witness denied that he regarded Lor-
liners election as personal sue
cess" or that it was incidental to
the general tariff work of the witness.
Marble questioned Hines regarding
a talk he had with w. H. Hettler,
a rival lumberman, Immediately after
Hines heard Of Lorimer's election.
Marble read Hettler's testimony
from the record OF the Illinois SEN
ate investigating committee as fol-
lows:
II was at the cigar-stand In the
club when someone tapped me on the
shoulder. II was Hines, who had just
come from the telephone booth. He
said: DO you know the name of your

did you see a statement Issued
