fBv telegram TO Tho Tribune !

IBy telegraph to Tho Tribune
Ct. Paul. April HI. IL. Kohlsaat. pro-
prietor of The Chicago Record-Herald.
who recently testified In the Lorimer in
vestigation in Springfield Ill. declared
here to-day his firm conviction that Sen
a'or Lorimer's days in Washington were
numbered.
II have not the slightest doubt Mr..
Kohlsaat said that the investigation will
be reopened in Washington. and that the
verdict this time will be against him. The
present Senate never would have seated
him in the first place. and the personnel
az II stood at the time of the first inquiry
would not have INDICATED him II the
facts which have now come to light had
been obtainabie then.
~ do not look for any jail sentences. II
probably would be found impossible to
show misdoing TO that extent
The testimony which. In Mr.. Kohlsaats
opinion clnches the case against Mr..
Lorimer, would never have come out. he
says had not Clarence Funk. general man
ager of the International Harvester Com
pany relea sed him from a pledge not TO
divlilge certain information given in con-
fdence by Mr.. Funk.
81 believe IL Is not going too far to say
that the united press OF the country is de-
handing that Lormer's seat be taken away
from him." said Mr.. Kohlsaat. 81 have
aeen papers from the extreme Southern
states. the Far West and the Eastern sea
board all plainly stating their conviction
that the mans place was bought. The UNI
impe achab bic character of Mr.. Funk and OF
cyrus Mccormick. to whom he gave the
same information as he did TO me. precludes
the possibility of error. Men like Mr.
Funk the general manager or a $4,000
900 institution, and with ninetyseven tho1-
sand men under him. do not go around in
venting or connecting stories Of that nat
ure. The high standing Of Mr.. Funk is re-
sponsible for the unanimity with which the
committee has believed the testimony given
as coming from him. The State Senate
committee resumes It's sittings on Thursday.
There are some very sensational develop.
