BLOND SENATOR
Claim Sufficient New Evidence to
Reverse Opinion Was not
introduced
THREE DISSENT In OPINION
About Twenty Seven New Members
Of Senate Vote ON
Case
THREE DISSENT In OPINION

Washington, March 2S.-Senator
Lorimer of Illinois today won an
Overwhelming yindication at the
hands or the special committee Of
eight senator's, who have finished
the second investigation of his elec,
ton hy the Illinois Legislature in
1909. Twice challenged and once
acquitted Senator Lorimar today
won all vital points In the commit
tee. by a vote Of : to 8 This com
pletcly exonerateS him of having
any knowledge of legislative COR
ruption.
Edward Hines, millionaire lum-
b-rman, referred to in the investi-
cation as "the man VINO put Lori
mer over" also got vindication by
the committee. II had been charged
that Hines raised corruption fund
OF 100000 to elect Lorimer to the
Senate. The majority repudiated
that and passed a resolution that
the evidence had shown that he did
not raise or contribute any sum i'm
properly.
New Evidence Weak.
Tire majority felt that no new evil
dcnee had been added to Justify a
reversal of the Senote's previous acs
tion in Lorimers favor, tnat there
was no evidence Of q Jackpot in
the Illinois General Assembly of
1909, in connection with his elee-
tion, and fatty that no corrupt prac-
tices had been shown by the inves-
tigatiou The case will be before
the Senate probably next week,
when debate win begin.
Republican leaders point out that
there will be about q new senators
to vote on the cases disposition with
those who already have voted on sub
stantially the same charges. The
basis of the committees action was
tho plea raised by Lorimer's coun-
sci that the previous action of the
Senate bars reconsideration
IAe majority report on The main
proposition will be submitted by
Senators Dillingham;, Gamble,
Fletcher Johnson and Jones, and
minority by Senators Kenyon, Kern
and Lea, Senator Jones was against
Lorimer on the first investigation
Today he reversed his position and
presented three of the leading reso-
lutlons to eyonerate Lorimer.

Close Call From Fire

Saturday morning last fire was
discovered in the residence of A.
j. Brewer, where it had prob
ably smouldered for some time.
The origin of the fire was in the
fireplace, which had charred the
joists and finally sprang into a
blaze. When first discovered the
fire was underneath the floor and
within the partition walls of the
house and to get at same it was
necessary to tear them out.
Prompt action on the part of
several citizens who were sum-
moned by telephone, saved the
building from only meager dam
age. Three chemical fire extin-
guishers were soon on hand and
With the addition of some water
the fire was soon out.
This is the first fire to be re-
ported in Roman and we trust it
will be the last.
Luckily the fire was observed
in time or the building would
have been destroyed and others
with it. Mr.. Brewer and family
were nearly overcome with the
smoke and were awakened none
too soon.
