MAY Vote ON
LORIMER TOMORROW
BeVeridgG Believes Senate
FIimfIammGd on Report

Washington, Feb. 23-The validity
of the election of Senator Lorimer, Of
| Illinois, will not come to a vote in the
senate today and probably not for sew
eral days yet, if at all this session Of
an interchange which preceded a
congress. This was made evident in
| long anti-Lorimer speech delivered
this afternoon by Senator Beveridge,
of Indiana.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, chair
man of the committee which investi-
gated the case and exonerated Mr..
Lorimer of the charge of being the
beneficiary of bribery in the Illinois
Legislature, sought to fix by unanim-
Gus consent an hour for a vote.
Senator Lodge objected He said II
was of the utmost importance that the
senate go into executive session ut
the earliest possible moment-pre-
sumably having in mind the Japan
esa treaty.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, said Ne
desired to make a few remarks on the
Lorimer case himself Mr. Burrows
suggested that vote be had at four
O'Clock on Saturday
Mr.. Stone said he had no objection
to a vote, he objected only to fixing
q u Ysrticular hour for it. Mr.. Beveridge,
who had the floor, thereupon refused
to yield further and the prospects
.cf an early vote became still more
Indefinite
In the course of his speech in the
senate today on the Lorimer case Sen
ator Beveridge practically charged
that the report in the case originally
prepared and signed bv the members
was not the same report which afto
ward was submitted to the senate.
When appealed to to say whether
this was a fact, Senator Depew said
that he could not remember all the de-
tails and suggested that the Indiana
senator call some other witness.
