DETECTIVES TRAIL
L0R|MER WITNESS
CLARENCE S. FUNK TELLS COM.
MLTTEE OF THEIR EFFORTS
TO FIND SOME WAY TO BE-
SMlRCH HIM.

Washington, d. C.-Sensational
testimony to the effect that Edward
Hines was 'senator-maker" in Wis
consion as we'll as in Illinois, was
given today by w. A. Cook, lumber
man Of Duluth, Mimi, before the
Lorimer Investigating committee to-
day. He asserted that Hines was re-
sponsible for the election of Isaac
Stephenson, millionaire lumberman,
as Senator from Wisconsin.
Washington, D. C.--Shadowed for
anything possible against him, is the
alleged experience OF which Clarence
s. Funk OF Chicago, star witness in
the present Lorimer investigation,
complained to the senate committee
inquiring into the Lorimer election.
The statement produced a sensation,
because the name of Edward Hines,
who Mr.. Funk has testified, had ask
ed him to contribute $4,000 to-
ward 500, 1000 used to put Lorimel
over at Springfield" was. mentioned
in connection with the services of the
detectives. Mr.. Funk said four de-
| tectives had followed him to Wash
ington, and two had watched him
during luncheon yesterday. One Of
them he said, had been compelled To
give his name and, that of his employ
er, when caught in a tight place.
Mr.. Funk declined to break his
word to the detective and reveal his
i Ia hn MI nt
Senator Lorimer.
The committee ended the hearing
by going into an executive session to
consider the situation.
Mr.. Funk repeated his story OF the
conversation with Mr.. Hines in which
the request for the $4,000 contribu-
tion is said to have been made.
"Just as casual as the sale of Car
of lumber" was the way Mr.. Funk
referred to the proposition. The wit.
ness said he met Hines at the unior
League club shortly after Lorimer's
t>election. "Hello!" said Hines, ac
cording to Mr.. Funk, You are jus
the man ] want to see"
Hines said: 'Well, we put Lorimel
over down at Springfield but it COS
100000 to do it, The witness add
ed tnat filneS explained Ullat tney NAT
had to act quickly.
''EIe said: Now we are seeing some
of our friends to get the matter fiX'
ed up
Mr.. Funk said he inquired how
much he was getting. We'll, we cal
only go to a few big people," Funl
said Hines replied, '.and if we cai
get ten to contribute $4,000 we cal
wipe it out.

Esaid Mr.. Funk. ''He said: You an,

ROOT AMENDMENT
BEATEN IN SENATE
DEFEAT so DECISIVE IT'S OWN
FRIENDS DO NOT ASK FOR A
ROLL CALL.

Washington, ID. C.-Senator Town
send. republican, of Michigan, today
offered an amendment to the reci-
procity bill, providing for the con-
struction of a deep canal waterway
from Duluth to the Atlantic coast
The proposed improvement would
cost $3.50, 100000. and the United
States and Canada would divide the
cost.
Washington. ID. C.-The canadian
reciprocity bill emerged from its
first ordeal in the senate last nightun-
scathed. The Root amendment pro-
posing modification of the wood
pulp and paper sections of the agree
ment was defeated after seven hours
Of debate. The friends Of the amend
ment were so satisfied of its defeat
that a roll call was not demanded.
This leaves the reciprocity measure
open to the general fight that is to
follow, for amendments of important
provisions of9the Payne tariff law.
/ Attack on the Root amendment

reciprocity measure in the debate
which resulted in the defeat Of Sen

Senator La Toilette declared there
was no justification for any duty on

OF the tariff board to show that the
best mills in the United States ac-
tually produce paper cheaper than
the best mills of Canada. 10 eoR-

APRIL'S BUILDING RECORD
SURPASSES APRIL 1910
Last Month, $1,943,850; April 1910, S1,542 800; Net
Increase in Cost of Construction, $401 ,16O.

A remarkable record OF building activi-
ty is shown in the report of the building
inspector for the month Of April, 1911.
Even more remarkable than the record
itself is the change in the conditions
surrounding building in Washington
when the record for April, 1911, is placed
in parallel comparison with the record
for the month of April. 1910.
The month just closed shows tre-
mendous gain over April one-year ago.
New building and repair permits were
issued last month for a total expenditure
of s1,9s3,S50, as against but s1,542,S9 in
1910. The gain of this year over last,
reckoning by the April showing. is $401.-
160. The rate per cent of gain for 1911
over 1910 is 271.

LESS NEW BUILDINGS
Fewer Permits Are Issued
Last Week.

There was a slump in the amount Of
new building projected for Washington
as reflected in the number of building
permits issued at the office of the build
ing inspector last week. Twenty-one
permits for a total expenditure Of $2H,-
223 in new buildings were issued
The reason for this falling of is ex-
planned by the fact that the rush Of the
week ending April % had been an ab-
normal one. The first really good wealth
er OF the year had caused the contrac-
tors and owners to hasten to take ad-
vantage Of the first opportunity to start
work on the new projects. The officials
Of the inspectors office consider the
week as a normal one for this season.
The larger items were a permit fop the
six-story office building which Victor j.
Evans will erect at 724-72S Ninth street
northwest at a cost OF $4,000. and the
new apartment house projected by Chris
tian Heurich for 243l F street northwest.
The Heurich venture calls for an ex-
penditure Of S26,57S.
