the surrender of warrant aggregating
100000 upon which payment had

The commonwealth agreed to drop all
criminal action against the defendants
with the exception of the case of
Architect Joseph M. Huston, who is
under sentence and who has an ap-
peal in the superior court. Thus ends
one of the most important criminal
prosecutions ever brought by the
state and which has stirred Penn

state capitol, a magnificent structure,
with it's rich furnishings, cost approx.
mately $13,O0O,O00. OF this sum the
state alleged that it had been defraud.

tor Coe ]. Crawford of South Dakota
today delivered on the floor of the
senate a scathing arraignment OF
the alleged corrupt methods used in
the election of Senator William Lor-
inner of Illinois. He spoke for nearly
two hours and in closing announced
himself ready to vote for resolu-
tion to unseat the Illinois senator on
the ground that he had not been
legally elected by the legislature of
Illinois. The impression is grow
ing among senators that considera-
ton of the charges connected with
the election Of Lorimer will be pro-
tracted. Alrc ,Gy two speeches, both
in opposition to Lorimer, have been
delivered, and while many others are
promised, comparatively few senators
are prepared to proceed.
Members Of the comfittee today eX-
pressed the opinion that the question
would not be before the senate for
at least a month to come. Lorimer
himself is preparing to speak. He
has made analExis of the testimony
and today took full notes upon Craw-
ford's speech in opposition to his re-
tanning his seat. Among those who
are expected to speak are Senator
Burrows, Chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections and Sen

a statement today characterizing yes
terday's proceedings in the house
when Speaker Cannon's decision was

a frame-up, brought about by the

tion," Norris said that in yesterdays
rule fight the republican insurgents
with a few democrats showed them
selves to be consistent, but were ap-
parently overriden by the majority
combination of republicans and demo-
Gratis. Norris added that the reforms
that insurgents instituted in the house
have not been abrogated. Norris said
that yesterdays attack on the prece-
dent set last March and the various
attacks on new rules formulated at
that time including the fillibuster
against the motion to discharge the
committee-a rule framed by demo-
crats-are typical instances of the
operation of the house machine.
"There is no doubt" said he, chat
they were inspired by certain ring
in the house with the purpose of dis.
crediting the result Of the fight of last

Norris pointed out that yesterdays
fight was not an insurgent fight in
asmuch as it was started by Fuller
of Illinois, one of Cannon's allies, who
according to Norris, voted against his
own position to sustain the speaker,
as did Gaines of West Virginia, an.

who appealed from decision of the
chair and on roll call voted against
