Virtual Agreement on Lori
Tner Case Is Reached,
Col. Roosevelt Wanied as Wit
ness in Steel Trust Hearing.
Pres. Taips Plans for Coming Fall
Are Attracting Attention.

Washington. May pa virtual
agreement to refer the Lerimer case
TO the Senate committee on privileges
and elections with the understanding
that that committee shall entrust
the proposed inquiry to a bipartisan
and byLorimer subcommittee of
eight, was effected in the Senate to-
day. The agreement was the result
of a talk between Democratic sena-
tors held previous to the session at
which the previous decision to sup
port the Martin resolution was re-
scinded and all Democratic senators
released from all caucus obligations.
The bipartisan idea was suggested
by Senator Stone. and while no vote
vas taken it WAS generally accepted
as a satisfactory compromise.
After the conference, Senator Mar
tin presented the scheme to Senator
Dillingham;, chairman of the elections
committee. The latter refused form
al acceptance of it, but there is no
doubt that he will acquiesce in it.
Democrats suggest the selection of a
subcommittee to be composed of two
Republican members who voted for
Lorimer i'm the laST Senate and two
who did not; and of two Democrats
who voted for him and two who did
not. with the understanding that in
case of a tie vote on the admission
of testimony it will be admitted. The
caucus release of Democrats from the
obligation to vote COR the Martin res
olution will augmen. the strength raw
orable to the La Toilette faction.
It is understood that the sub-com-
mittee on investigation will consist
of Dillingham; and Gamble. Rep. and
Fletcher and tombstone, DEM, pro-
Lorimer. and of Clapp and Kenyon.
Rep. and Kern and Lea, DEM, anti
Lcrimer. The final disposition of this
matter by the Senate was postponed

Five men. George E. Pooier. Charles
Baker. Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Trenholm and
Mr.. Jones were struck by lightning
during the storm. Although none OF

The men saw the shower coming and
as Ii burst over their heads they rush
ed into q small summer house on the
Walker estate at Basin Mills to es-
cape the shower. A bolt of lightning
Struck a tree nearby and passing down
the trunk followed wire fence which
connected the summer house with the
tree and completely 'circled the little
shelter.

trousers, while all of them were badly
burned on their legs where the electric
fluid eoursed along the skin.
