.BEvER|DGE REPORT
ON LOR|hER CASE
Indiana Senator Will File
Minority Views and May
Speak Monday.

The opening gun in the fight on Sena-
tor Lorimer will be fired in the Senate
Monday. Everybody is on edge, waitins
to see what will develop. Nobody
knows when the fight will end, once il
is begun. Many believe it will consume
the rest of the session, unless the mat
ter should be sent back to the Privi-
leges and Elections Committee.
Senator Owen was expected to speak
yesterday, and would have done so but
for the adjournment of the Senate
owing to the death OF Senator Elkins.
Now, it is settled that Senator Beve-
ridge will make a minority report. He
may submit this Monday, and in tha
event Senator owen may step aside and
let the Indiana Senator make the first
speech.
Senator Owen has prepared what is
described by those who have seen II
as a mastery analysis Of the testimony.
Senator Beveridge will take the posi-
ton that on the strength of the evil
dence Senator Lorimer is not entitled to
his seat.
Reports are current that there is grow
ing alarm among the men who have
been defending Lorimer. Senator Aid
rich is said to be Impressed with the
notion that the matter had better be
referred back to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections.

BRIEFS ARE FILED
/. BY TOBACCO TRUST
Attorneys Say That the Gov
, ernment Ideas Are In
exact and Confused.

Attorneys for the Tobacco trust have
filed briefs with the Supreme Court
in the second fight of the American. To-
bacco Corporation to prevent dissolution
under the Sherman law.
1t is charged that the Government at
torneys entertain inexact and confused
ideas on the subject of monopolizing as
referred to in the Sherman law. 1t is
said the Government fails to distinguish
between large businesses on the one
hand and monoPolies on the other. 1t
is asserted that the intercorporate rela-
tions of the defendant companies are
not such as to bring them within the
proper definition of a holding company.
Wade H. Ellis appeared before the
court in the commodities clause case.
He contended that the Government
should be permitted to show that the
coal company in controversy between
the Government and the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company was merely device
to evade the commodities clause. John
G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, for the Le-
high, contended the coal company was
older than the law. and therefore could
not be considered a device to evade it,.

PRESIDENTIAL BOON
FOR CLARK GROWING
Reaches Stage Where Friends
Think He Has Right
Smart Chance.

Champ Clarks Presidential boom is
getting q most vigorous start. 1t has
reached the point where Champs friends
and admirers think there's a fright
smart chance" of the next President OF
the United States being from Missouri.
AS for Mr.. Clark, he is receptive, and
makes no bones about it. 1t Will not be
surprising if before long he lets it be
known he is an active candidate.
Delegations of the friends of the next
Speaker of the House keep going to call
on him, and telling him they would like
TO support him for the Presidency. The
thing has reached the stage where
Champ doesn't even blush when friend
in the House or some politician from
outside of Washington insists he ought
to be the next President. He just calm
ly admits that he's got the Presidential
bee, that it huns and buzzes about him
continuously, and that the noise of the
humming and the buzzing is as sweet
music unto his ears.
The fact that precludes Mr.. Clark
from getting openly into the field and
asking for the delegation from his own
State is that Joseph w. Folk, of Mis-
souri,, is candidate. Mr.. Clark doesn't
want to oppose Mr.. Folk. At the same
time, Clark's friends keep telling him
that Folk can't possibly be nominated,
so what's the use.
One of the most interesting facts
about the Clark movement is that it is
distinctly anti-Harmon. A large num-
ber of the progressive Democrats of the
country, in the House and out of it,
are getting frightened at the scope of
the Harmon movement. They look on
Harmon as too conservative. To be
plain, they look on the governor of Ohio
as reactionary.
They charge that Big Business, as
represented in the Democratic party,
wants Harmon, and that 1t is time for
the progreSSives or radicals in the party
to go to work to head the Harmon
movement off. Many of these men like
the looks of Woodrow Wilson. At the
same time, there is a surprising amount
of Clark talk about the House, and ne
is likely to develop a formidable Presi-
Dental boom.

DEMOCRATSOPPOSED
. TO COMMIT PLAN
Many House Members
Against Giving Ways and
Means Extra Power.

Powerful and deep-seated opposition
is being aroused in the House among
the Democrats to the plan of making
the Ways and Means Committee the
committee on committees. So strong
is the feeling against such arrangement
that IL is now considered extremely
doubtful If 1t can be forced through.
Champ Clark and Representative Under
wood are currently named as being IA
vorable to this plan. But among the
progressive Democrats, as well as
among progressive Republicans, there Is
strong hostility to It.
Among the grounds of opposition seri-
ously urged to the plan Of having the
Ways and Means Committee name the
committees is this: That it would give
inordinate power to committee that
will have enormous power vested In 1t
by reason of its jurisdiction over the
tariff bill. 1t is argued that the con-
slant effort of the big protected inter-
ests Is to have the Ways and Means
Committee made up of men who are
friendly to high duties.
With these interests, 1t is urged, are
affiliated other great special interests.
Now, it is asserted, that If the Ways
and Means Committee is to make up
the committee On committees it will de-
velop that a great combination of spe-
cial interests will seek first to control
the Ways and Means Committee, and
after that all the essential committees
of the House.
In other words, it is argued that the
WAYS and Means Committee, with the
authority of a committee on commit
tees in addition, would afford an oppor-
trnitv for log-rolling bv special inter-
ests of most magnificent proportions.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-When Mrs.

seriousness for less than a moment, the

IL should" She then relapsed into un-
consciousness. The physicians have lit
tie hope of her recovery.
While she was asking for her hus-
band his body lay in the morgue await
ing the calling of a coroner's jury for
an inquest. The man and woman had
uuarreled frequently lately, and had
agreed that they would separate. Yes
terday Adams went to his home In ap-
parently good humor. He greeted his
wife pleasantly at the front door. TWO
minutes later neighbors heard Two re-
volver shots. Rushing into the mouse
they found Adams dead and his wife
unconscious.
