M'VEACH KNOWS
A THING OR TWO
ABOUT LORIMER
ADMINISTRATION SENT SECRE-
TARY OF TREASURY TO IN.
VESTIGATE LONG AGO.

WASHINGTON, July 16.--Governor
Deneen, of Illinois, witness in the
Lorimer investigation, called on Presf-
denc Taft to-day. Governor Ueneen
developed yesterday the story that
as early as August, 1909, the admin
istration had reasons to suspect that
the Lorimer election was not what
1t should have been and Mr. Mac
Veagh, the secretary of the treasury,
was sent to Chicago by the president
to investigate the report of irregulari-
ties.
SO far the result of Mr.. Macy eagh's
inquiries has not been given to the
public. 1t Is said that in view of
the Importance Of an investigation
by so able an Investigator it is likely
the committee viii call upon the Sec
rotary of treasury to add to the gem
eral enlightme tit Is also likely
now. In view of the direct statements
of Governor Deneen, which were pub
lished to-day, that the committee
will not close its hearings until 1t
shall have examined former Senator
Aldrich.
MacVeagh No Volunteer.
SO far tss the evidence of Governor
Deneen goes, IL has served to en-
phasize the fact that. although the
cofnInItte9 mas Dee0 ma KING every
effort to get all possible evidence the
secretary of the treasury has never
volunteered to tell what he knows.
1t is considered significant that
Governor Deneen delayed his depar
ture from Washington until to-day
and that he held conference with
President Taft. In view of his testi-
mony bringing the administration d.
rectly into the Lorimer case. it Is re-
garded likely that the subject of the
conference was the statement he made
on the witness stand. Following De-
mems testimony concerning the ire
mendous power of Lorimer in the
forty sixth assembly, some interesting
facts are revealed in a statement pre-
pared at hts direction and Just en-
tered into the investigating commit
tees record. This statement bears
out the existence of a Lorimer-Shurt-
left combination in the assembly and
shows Just how that combination
operated to direct the legislation ae-
complished. In other words 1t makes
plain Just how the millions of ciu-
zens in the State of Illinois were
compelled to look to William Lorimer
for their laws.
