Election of Lorimer He De-
CIareS to Be Invalid.
REGRETS TO TAKE STAND
Would Prefer to Agree With Com.
mittee's Findings.
SAYS FRAUD WAS APPARENT
Points to Fact That Lorimer Was in
Springfield and Consulted
With Legislators.

That Senator William Lorirner of Illinois
holds his seat as the result Of bribery
and on that account he should not be per-
mitted to continue in the Senate, is the
conclusion reached by Senator Elihu Root
floor of the Senate today.
The New York senator held the undivtd-
ed attention of his colleagues as he dis
cussed the report Of the committee on
privileges and elections by which Mr
Ilorimer was exonerated.
Mr.. Roots position had been a ques-
ton Of much speculation, and so high is
the esteem in which his opinion is held
that it is known that some members of
the Senate have held in allegiance their
own opinions until they could hear from
him.

TO HASTEN ACTION
House Committee Will Not De.
lay Canada Trade Pact.
TO GIVE FEW HEARINGS
Likely to Be Reported Next Week
Leaders Believe.

The committee on ways and means OF
the House is not disposed to delay action
on the Canadian reciprocity trade agree
ment bill by giving extended hearings to
dissatisfied interests and industries
Neither is til committee inclined to go
over the ground covered in the very ex-
tensive hearings preparatory to considera-
tion of the last tariff act.
The Gloucester fishermen were heard
yesterday because uhey were on the
ground and were insistent. The Seattle
lumber men desire to be heard in oppo-
sltio nto the agreement, but the commit
tee will not give them n hearing unless
they have something new to present for
the lumber tariff was thoroughly threshed
out in the last Congress.
The pulp and paper industries have an
piled for hearing, and the committee
has replied that they will have to come
a-runnlnS If they want to get word in
before the committee begins to vote on
reporting the bill.
Expect Big Majority.
The best judgment of House leaders Of
both parties is that the reciprocity bill
will be reported next week from commit
tee, will pass the House with a big ma
jority and will be ''hung up in the Sem
floor, until this session of Congress draws
to a close March 4.
However, every one realizes that
the Senate is a very uncertain body
and there is possibility of senators
being convinced by President Taft and
advisability of putting the trade
agreement into operation. There have
been many instances of apparently in
surmountable opposition to a bill in
the Senate disappearing overnight and
the measure being adopted the next
day by an overwhelming vote.
The democratic members in the
House are considering the desirability
of calling a party caucus so as to
present a solid front in support Of the
Gratis who oppose the bill. but it is
safe to say that more than a majority
of the party in the House favors the
legislation.
Politics May Play Part.
Furthermore, 1t is believed that an op-
portunity may be presented to place the
republican party at a political disadvan-
tage. ito put the republicans in a hole"
as they express it. Their idea is to show
to the country a solid democratic party
advocating remedial tariff legislation pro-
posed by a republican President, and the
Presidents own party savagely divided
on the question.
Then there are the high-tariff republi-
cans. who are not ayerse to putting the
low-tariff republicans in a hole" by
forcing the latter to accept reductions on
the products Of their on sections. while
leaving a high tariff on the products of
the manufacturing sections.
When the tariff law now in force was
framed the high duties on farm products
were adopted through working agree
ment between the manufacturing indus
tries and the farmers, through the sena-
tors and representatives In Congress from
the states where the respective industries
nourished.
The agriculturists voted for protection
on manufactures and the industrialists
for protection to farm products.

Analysis Of Testimony.

There was a large attendance of sen
ators and the galleries were well filed
Mr.. Root spoke without notes, and in the
main his address consisted of a careful
analysis of the testimony taken by the
committee. The argument was almost
entirely legal.
Senator Root first reviewed the history
Of the inception and progress of the in
vestigation into the charges against SEN
ator Lorimer and the report of the COM
mittee to the Senate.
1T is fair inference" said Senator
Root, from comparison between the
terms of the resolutions and the report
of the committee that the committee
were Of the opinion that there had been
corrupt practices in the election Of Sena-
tor Lorimer. but that they were not suf-
ficient to inyalidate his seat.

Mexico City, Mexico, June S.-Por-
ffrio Diaz would have died fighting
rather than surrender his office, had
it not been for his wife. Madame Diaz,
according to one of her trusted ser
wants, begged and pleaded with him
to sign the resignation and leave his
.'ungrateful country" and even guided
his hand as he wrote Maria Ocampo,
an Oaxaca indian woman, who had
been a trusted servant in the house
for many years, tells the story OF the
part Madame Diaz played in the affair.
Even after the old warrior had signed
the resignation. his wife had to battle
with him to induce him to send it in.
There were tears on the beautiful
face Of madame as she begged Gen.
Diaz to give her the resignation, or at
least send it at once so as TO avoid
massacres and riots said the servant
ssShe argued for more than 90 minutes
and then Diaz tore the crumpled paper
from his pocket, thrust 1T into her
hands. saying. There. do what you
please with it, and threw himself on

break.
Madame rang the bell and called
the military messenger and sent by
him the resignation to the chamber
of deputies Neither Diaz nor his wife
or son slept a wink that night and
madame began the argument TO flee
the city for Veracruz and then to
Spain.

he would never resign and that he
would not be driven to it but would
STAY and fight it out, if need be die

for more than a month by his attor-
