HARVESTER MAGNATE TELLS
COMMITTEE OF 100000
SlUaH FUND.
U. S. SENATE MAY ACT
IT Is PROBABLE THE SENATE
WILL REOPEN CASE IN MA
TIONAl CAPITAL.

Springfield. nl-Clarence s. Funk.
general manager OF the International
Harvester Company. before the State
Senate bribery Investigating commit
tee exploded the biggest sensation Of
the Lorimer bribery case.
Mr.. Funk testified that Edward
Hines, OF Chicago. millionaire lumber
dealer. asked HIM. as manager Of the
harvester company. to contribute 310.-
600 to reimburse certain men VINO mad
put up a 100000 slush fund to elect
William Lorimer to the United States
senate
The Harvester company manager
further testified that Mr.. Hines named
Edward T1lehh. swealthy Chicago pack
err. as the collector of this fund to re-
imburse the men who. as Mr.. Hines
was quoted as having said. had "un-
derwritten" the election OF Lorimer.
Mr.. Funk said the object he had in
giving this testimony was to save II.
II. Kohsaat. publisher of the Chicago
Record Herald. from possible Jail
sentence as a result OF Mr.. Kohlsaat's
refusal to give certain information de-
manded by the committee.
The witness said he had given Mr..
Kohlsaat information in confidence
upon which the Chicago publisher had
based an editorial.
The publication, in February last, OF
this editorial. which charged the use
OF 100000 fund to elect Lorimer.
resulted In the calling OF Mr.. Kohlsaat
az a witness before the committee.
Mr.. Kohlsaat refused to make
known the name OF Mr.. Funk. The
Chicago publisher was then given one
week In which to divulge this name
or stand Ia contempt OF the Senate
committee.
Funk testified that he voluntarily
released Mr.. Kohlsaat from the pledge
OF confidence when he felt that the
publisher would be sent to jail unless
the information was given.
The disclosures made by Funk oc-
CURED Unexpectedly at specially
called meeting of the Senate commit
tee members.
But Mr.. Kohlsaat and Mr.. Funk ar
rived in Springfield from Chicago and
Chairman Helm OF the investigating
committee at once called its member
ship in special session.
News Of the disclosures swept from
the Supreme Court building to the
State House near by within few mo-
ments.
The reports caused excitement. much
discussion and hurried consultation
among certain members in both
branches OF the Legislature.
Several House members left their
seats in the midst Of the debate on the
civil service bills to learn more OF the
disclosures.
Mr.. Kohlsaat preceded Mr.. Funk on
the witness stand. He briefly stated
that he was ready to give the name Of
the man who had furnished him vita
the report of the alleged 100000
slush fund.

May Reopen lorimer Case.

Wasnington.-Little doubt exists
here that an effort will be made to re-
open the Senator Lorimer case in the
present congressional session. insur-
gent Republicans have considered the
question at recent conferences and the
understanding is resolution for the
re-opening of the case will be offered
either by Senator Borah or Senator
La Toilette. These senators sought, at
the last session to induce II. II. Kohl
saat Of Chicago to make a statement
along the testimony given in Spring
field, but they failed.

MODIFIED HIS NOTE.

Mexico City. April 20.-Minister Dc Ia Barra tonight requested Ambassa- dor Wilson tO notify Washington that he desired to rescind one feature considered objectionable in his note regarding the Agua Prieta incident The feature referred to is his com ment on the crossing of the inter- national boundary by Captain Gau- jot.
 He referred to the incident of Cap tain Gaujot and Lieutenant Moore, who entered Agua Prieta on the day of the fight and accomplished the surrender of federal troops. In view of late re- ports the minister declared his belief that officers must not cross the line to ask a garrison to surrender.
 Discussing the attitude of the Wash ingtOn officials, Ambassador Wilson asked de la Barra if he was expected to understand that Mexico was at tempting to force the United States to intervene. Expressing his surprise, de la Barra assured him that nothing was further from the intention of his coun- try. He assured the ambassador that it was the desire of Mexico to avoid any possible misunderstanding grow ing out of the controversy.

STONE SQUELCHED
 BY THE SENATE ILL-TIMED REMARKS ON MEXI-
 CAN SITUATION. Congress Will Leave Whole Matter With the President.

Washington. April 20-Congress is in no temper to meddle in the in ternal affairs of Mexico, and in the senate a majority of both sides of the chamber will endeavor to prevent an open discussion of the trouble through which Mexico is passing.
 This was made plain at the end of a speech on the Mexican situation by Senator Stone of Missouri, who ad vocated empowering the president to use the army and navy in any way he might see fit to protect American lives and property. The resolution was referred to the for eign relations committee, which is not likely to act upon it soon.
 Senators Cullom, Bacon, Root and Lodge, all members of this commit tee immediately deplored a public discussion of a sister republics trou- bles, and several took the Missourian sharply to task for the tenor of his remarks, and suggesting that such discussions should occur only in eX- ecutive session.

A Day Relieved by Single Insurreeto
 Defeat.

Durango. Mexico. April 20.-U is re- ported today, following the capture of Papasquro by the rebels, that there has been a general uprising on ranches and villages throughout this region. The number of rebels now under arms in that section is said to be about 2,000. It is reported today that they have invaded the Laciedas Boso at Guatimape, near Santiago, and driven off large numbers of posses. Should the rebels capture this city. the capi- tai of the state. it would be no sur prise to the residents The city is not well garrisoned and the country hereabout is not unfriendly to the insurrectos.
 Operating in the region northeast of the city is the army of Luis Moya. In many cases the towns remain in control of the insuTrectOs, although in few instances the rebels have pursued their usual tactics of enter ing. taking what they wanted and then riding to the hills
 The news that Cuencame has again been taken by the rebels has been brought here. The place was de- tended by a small force of rurales who sustained the fire of the rebels for some hours before surrendering Dur ing the battle the leader of the rurales and four men were killed and twelve wounded.
