LoRIMER ASKS AID OF SENATE.
Proposal Made to Pay Ousted Senator
S25. 900 Attorney Fees.

Washington, Aug. THE question
Of presenting William Lorin,er with
$e5,D00. ostensibly for the expense Of
counsel he employed to defend his cleo
tion to the senate. will be passed upon
today at meeting OF the special COM
mittee which conducted the investiga-
ton. Elbridge Hanecy OF Chicago was
Lorimer's attorney.
Chairman Dillingham; has called the
meeting for the purpose OF winding up
the work Of the committee. It is neces-
sary to authorize the final payment Of
compensation to counsel for the COM
mittee and to other employees. The
committee also will decide whether It
will pay additional compensation to It's
employees.
The allowance of counsel fees to
Lorimer Is to be stoutly opposed by
those senators who believe the people
ought not to be required to reimburse
a man whose election 10 the senate
was procured by bribery and corrup-
tion.
After the first investigation the SEN
ate did not allow IIorimer counsel fees.
in spite Of the fact that It pronounced
his election valid. The opponents Of
the proposition say there Is all the less
reason why the people should pay the
expenses Of Lorimer after his election
has been declared fraudulent.
