AGAIN HEARD0N
L0R|MER CASE
Senator Resumes Speech In
Which He Reviews New
Evidence Adduced at Leg
islative Inquiry.

Washington, D. c., May Ex-senator
LaFollette did not enter the senate TO-
day until nearly 3 o'clock to resume
his speech in support OF his resolutlon
providing for a reopening of the LOTT
mer case. He addressed himself main
ly to the testimony of the Illinois leg
islature committee at Springfield. Inc
senate met today at noon, having DIS
carded the Bailey order for 2 o'clock
sessions. Senator Hepburn OF ldaho
occupied the earlier hours with q q
speech against the popular electlon u
senators.
Lorimer still Bone Of Contention
The Lorimer case, which occupied
most of the time of the senate during
the last regular session and thus pc
came material factor in bringing
about the extra session again, mas
taken precedence in the upper mouse
of congress over matters OF penang
legislation.
The senate feels that a new inquiry
into the circumstances of Senator Lor-
liners election is imperative. me
question as to how the re-investigatlon
shall be conducted is far from pelng
determined, however, and promises 10
provoke a great deal Of discussion
Three resolutions already have peen
introduced. They come from three par
ties of the senate, the insurgent re.
publican, the regular republican anu
the democrats. Senator LaFollettes
resolution puts the new inquiry into
the hands OF FIVE new senators. Inc
DILLINGHAM; and Martin resolutions
leave the conduct Of the inquiry to
the regular committee on privileges
and elections.
Mr.La Toilette revived the recent
proceedings of the Illinois legislature
relative to the Lorimer case IN open
ing his, argument. He sald ne WAs
convinced that there was stlil more
testimony to be adduced.
''The people," he said, rejected our
former verdict as II by one vote. MOTH
ing is ever settled until 1t Is settled
right; it is Gods eternal justice, pull
ing to make things plumb" He was
sure that public opinion had been right
in this case, and declaring that ne
wanted the senate to view itself IN the
mirror of such opinion, he held aloft q
huge collection of newspaper CLIP
pings condemning the senate's decl-
sion in the case.
With the house adjourned until Fri.
day. the legislative affairs IN that
branch Of congress were confined to
committees. The committee on expen'
ditures in the state department con-
tinued it's inquiry in work for the gov

Atlantic City, N. j.. May 24.-The
Presbyterian general assembly today
voted to meet next year in Louisville,
KY. The assembly will be held in
Wa en- Memorial church in that city.
The fourteen members Of the
judicial commission OF the assembly

D. Grant Of Northumberland, Pa,
who is accused Of heresy. The COM
missioners may finish their labors to-
day or may remain in session several
days before agreeing upon conclu-
sion.
Dr. Grant Before Committee.
The Rev. Mr.. Grant appeared before
the judicial committee of the Presby-
terian general assembly late yesterday
afternoon. He attempted to justify his
broad conception of God, Christ and
the miracles by quoting from sermons
preached by the Rev. Charles Little Of
Wabash, Ind, moderator Of last years
assembly.
"The church Is certainly broad
enough" said DR.. Grant, ito permit d.
versity of opinion on matters not es-
sential to salvation. The Rev. DR.. Lit
tie himself said as much as this.
''The conception of God in the ear
lier part of the Old Testament" DR..
Grant added, was of an entirely diff
ferent being than the conception in
the latter part and in the New Testa-
ment."
In proof of this he adduced the Incl.
dent of the slaughter of the Shula.
mites by the children of Israel, and
said he did not believe God deliberate
" handed over 10000 people to death.
"Nor," said he, "do ] think any man
In this room believes such q monstrous
thing nor that Jesus Christ believed
It,"
Dr. Grant said he did not wish to
pose as a Presbyterian II he was not
one, but said he believed himself to be
one.
The judicial committee concluded
the hearing of the heresy charges
against DR.. Grant and Is expected to
report today.
A telegram was received from the
general synod of the Reformed church
of the United States which is meeting
at Canton, Ohio, stating that the pro-
posed union between their body and
the Presbyterian church would be
adopted. The telegram was hailed
with delight and entire assembly rose
and sang BLESSED be the tie that
binds" The suggested union will not
be voted on by the presbytery.

With the determination to land the
convention of the Iowa State Retail
Merchants association for Ottumwa in
1912, eighteen delegates Of the local
association, left last evening on
waukee No. 108 in q special car, for
Cedar Rapids. "Ottumwa 1912" is
the watch word and this body of work
ers lost not q moment upon arrival
in, the convention city to spread it
broadcast, thatfit may be on the
tongue of every delegate when the
time comes for the selection of the
next meeting place. They believe
they have such an argument to pro-
pound that will place competition be-
hind the fence. But this competition
will be the strongest that has been
encountered at state convention for
many months as Clinton and Waterloo
are equally as determined to land the
meeting. The proposition of OF
tumwa will so far eclipse the rest that
they will not reach the flrst sack In
the game. Nothing but plain, convinc-
ing facts, not air castle hallucinations.

the largest conventions in the state,
too. The local merchants will receive
the earnest support OF all delegates
who attended the democratic state
convention in Ottumwa last year who
will vouch for the hospitality OF this
city and the consideration shown It's
guests. They were loud In their ap-
proval at the close of this political
session, declaring themselves OttumWa
boosters when it came to conventions.
The session was begun by smoker
and vaudeville program last night
when Clinton and Waterloo paraded
their small forces through the CeZaS
Rapids auditorium. Today an auto
ride and banquet are features OF the
program. An interesting discussion
on legislation affecting retail mer-
chants was indulged in at tho after
noon session of yesterday and all
urged to support the exemption Dill
and other legislative measures to the
interest Of retailers. Following are
