Awakened early this morning by an
unusual noise on the front porch of his
home at Berwyn, Nd, John J. Kleiner,
a Washington real estate dealer, hastily
got out of bed and looked out of the
window in time to see burglar running
out of the yard. Kleiner fired several
times at the fleeing figure, but the shots
missed.
Going downstairs, kleiner found that
all of the rooms on the first floor had
been ransacked and a gold watch and
$50 in money stolen. The thief had en-
tered the house by prying open a parlor
window.
Kleiner went to the home of a neighbor
and telephoned the Washington police
to maintain a lookout for the thief, who,
it is believed, left Berwyn on the liz
car. The burglar is believed to have
been a white man, but Kleiner was only
able to give the police a meager de-
scription.

nual election of officers and named a
committee last night to devise plans
for a reorganization OF the association
on lines that will better conserve He
interests of the present members and
tend to increase the membership.
The meeting was held in Grand Army
Hail. The reports of the secretary and
treasurer showed a total membership
or l,59i, benefits of $13,110 paid during
the year, and cash balance of 81, ,O0S.
That more scientific basis of as
sessment should be devised was the
general opinion brought out in discus
sion. A committee consisting of Dr.
Llewelyn Jordon, G. D. Ellsworth and
j. H. Jackson was named to make in
vesttgation and report.
The election of officers resulted In
but few changes. Director Ralph, of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
retired from the presidency The Of
feers chosen are as follows: President,
Frank E.. Ferguson: vice president, n.

FIGHT OVER
LORINER POSSIBLE

1t Will Be More Thorough
Than First.

II the Senate takes up the case OF
Senator Lorimer again and another III
VestigatiOn is made of his election
there is little doubt that figh1 will be
precipitated more bitter than the one
of last session. Se' lators are watching
narrowly the results of the inVestiga-
tion by the State senate at Springfield.
The fact that a new investigation OF
the Lorimer case is possible gives great
Importance to the makeup OF the
Privileges and Elections Committee
Without much doubt, the Senate Com
mittee on Committees will give careful
consideration TO the composition OF this
committee, which will have the invesu-
cation into the Lorimer case In It's
hands once more, If the Senate orders
an inquiry.
The old membership of the Prtvt-
teges and Elections Committee was
badly shattered when the last session
ended. Senator Burrows, chairman, was
retired, and so were. Senators Depew,
Beveridge and BulkeLey. Senators Dill
lingham, Gamble and Hepburn are the
only Republicans left on the committee
On the Democra tic side, Senator Frazier
o. Tennessee has retired.
Senator Dillingham; is the ranking
Republican now, and will be entitled to
the craftsmanship if he wants it.
II there is another investigation by
the Privileges and Elections Committee,

than the first one. Edward Hines, the
lumber agent, for some unknown rea-
son, was not called before the sub
committee of the Senate Privileges and
Elections Committee. He said the other
day that he was appTised of the de-
sire of Senators Aldrich and Penrose

cation he will have to appear. So will
