Lorimer Case Has Sequel,

One of the principal topics Of
newspaper discussion in the Milelo
West and especially in and around
Chicago. is the unsuccessful scheme
to ruin the character Of Clarence 3.
Funk, general manager of the later
national Harvester Company, after the
latter had given testimony unfavorable
to Senator William Lorimer, in the
effort TO GUST the latter from his seat
in Congress, and involving Edward
Hines, a millionaire lumberman. be-
fore the United States investigating
Committee. During Funks testimony
before the inuqisitorial body he said he
had been approached by Hines and
asked TO contribute $4,000 to $780,
600 fund which had been used In put
ting Lorlmer over" The character
wrecking suit took the form Of an ac.
ton for $4,000 damages filed by John
c. Henning, a clerk, against Funk,
charging the latter for alternating his
wifes affections. Several witnesses
including Henning appeared at the

several occasions In hotels. Mrs, Hen.
ming did not appear at the trial for a
long time and could not be located.
The suit failed and much perjury on
the part of the compliments witness
es was shown These witnesses are
now being held on the serious charge,
and Henning is a fugitive from justice.
Mrs, Henning was located In New
York, and admitted that the whole af-
fair was put up job" to ruin the
character OF Funk. She also stated
that she had been induced to keep out
OF the way for the last year. her travel
ing expenses being paid by Henning's
lawyers !

Quotes the Bible Pharlsee

Mr.. Lorimer declared that when he

"holier-than-thou expression" he had
been reminded Of the pharisee who In
prayer had said: q thank thee, 0

Reviews Evidence in Detail

The evidence up which Lorimer's
expulsion from the Senate is demand
ed was taken up in detail by the ac-
cused senator. He reviewed the cas-
es OF the -four confessors.' as he
termed them, upon whose alleged con
fessions that they had received mon

case against him has been built C.
A. White, he said, was an aeknowl-
edged perjurer, while he declared that
Beckemeyer, Link, and Hostlaw. the
other three, had never confessed to
being paid anything for voting for
Lorimer.
Mr.. Lorimer declared that the pro.
ceeding against Beckemeyer in Cook

SENATORLOR|MER
BUSTED FROM THE
SENATE BY Sc TO e
The Blond Senator Fails to Prove
Innocence.

Innocence.
SENATE is PURGED
OF CORRUPT MEMBERS
Vote Against LorImer Was So Large
That No Doubt Remained Of His
Guilt-Made Dramatic Plea For Es-
onerstion For Three Days But Fall
ed.
Washington, D. c.. July 13.-The
Senate for five hours yesterday listen
ed to the continuation OF Senator Lori
to retain his seat in the Senate. And
shortly after o'clock took a recess
until this morning without having
come to a vote on the Lea resolution.
When the senate convened today
and, after listening to the concluding
arguments in the L4orimer case, by a
vote of Sc to 20 voted to Gust the Hi
nois senator.
TIE vote came after Lorimer made
a dramatic plea for his seat, and prac-
tically for three days he had argued
that there was nothing in the testi-
mony to prove that he was elected
through corrupt meaps.
The result occassioned no surprise,
as it was generally conceded TO those
who had followed the case drought
that the Illinois senator should lose
his seat.
The vote was so decisive against
the senator that there is
no doubt as to his guilt. The BUSTING
of the senator has caused a profound
sensation here, but the verdict is uni
versally accepted as being just and
proper one.
Attack on Senator Kern
A bitter attack on Senator Kern. OF
Indiana, which characterized Mr.. Lor-
mer's speech yesterday. further pro
longed the debate that preceded the
vote on the Lea resolution. He charg-
ed Senator Kern with misstating the
facts of the Lorimer case, with Slim
ing and smearing over the record
and with making charges against him
Horimer) for which there was no
ground of fact or evidence.
81 have been charged by this sena-
tor from Indiana on the floor of the
Senate with political wrongdoing.
Lorimer cried. Here and now | chal-
lenge him to point out to this Senate
anything in this record, anything he
knows, anything he has ever heard
anything anybody has ever told him
Il will make it broader than that
It him point to wrongdoing in prl-
vate, in commercial, in financial, or
in political life, and il he will do it
here and now I'll not embarass you
by voting on my case. When he has
done it | will walk out of yonder
door and never Occupy my seat again
in this chamber.
Come on, Senator Kern, you have
sllmed and smeared this record with
suspicion. come on now and make
good"
There was craning of necks toward
Senator Kern's seat, but he was not
visible in the chamber Later Senator
Kern said he would make no reply
to the senator.
