Effort of Democrats to Expedite

Parliamentary Snarl.
SEsSI0NwAs WITHOUT QUORUM

when the House today attempted to
resume consideration OF the Clayton
contempt bill, it found itself in a par
iamentary snarl that taxed the ingen-
uity OF Its experts to untangle. The
situation arose because Speaker Clark
had announced yesterday that a quo
rum was present and had voted to
adopt the gag" rule. making consid-
Grafton of the measure possible. The
tally clerk had erred in totalng his
figures. however. and a quorum had
not been present, thus vitiating the
action OF the House.
Minority Leader Mann and former
Speaker Cannon led in the renewal Of
the fight against the gag" rule. After
a prolonged skirmish the Speaker finally

Reads Beckemeyer's Testimony.

Senator Dillingham; read testimony of
II. j. c. Beckemeyer. one Of the fifty-three
democrats In the Illinois legislature who
voted for Senator Lor1mer, indicating
there were many democrats in the leg1sla-
ture who would vote for any republican
except Senator Hopkins. The testimony
also Indicated that such a course was
argued to the democrats to 'oemoralize'
the republican party in the state.
He emphasized testimony that Becke-
meyer went to the illinois sSatehouse
the morning OF the election of Mr.. Lori
mer not inclined to vote for LOrimer and
determined to withdraw from an agree
ment ne had made with other members
OF the legislature from his district to
vote for Mr. Lorimer. His OBJECT was
plainly to answer the allegations that
Beckemeyer's vote was corrupted.
If he had been bought to vote for Mr..
Lorlmer would he have been waverins
about voting tor MIR. Lorimer UP to the
very hour ne did vote for nlm!" asked
Senator Dillingham; Its absurd to
make g. claim tnat his vote was bought.
Senator Dillingham; insisted that al
though the general impression has been
sent throughout the country that Beck
emeyer mad confessed TO accepting a bride
to vote for MIR. Lorimer, Beckemeyer did
not so testify.

VOTE MAY GO over
Senators Fear Lorimer Case

"BL0ND BOSS" UNRUFFLED
ADVERSE DECISION PREDICTED

Prospects for an early vote on the
Lorimer case in the Senate were much
beclouded today because of the little
progress that has been made during the
morning and early afternoon. Senators
are beginning to fear the case will drag
through this entire week and into next
week. There are still q number of pro-
tracted speeches to be made on the case.
When todays session was resumed. as
a legislative day Of last Saturday. SEN
ator Fletcher concluded the lengthy
speech which he began yesterday after
noon. Then Senator Dillingham; began the
third installment OF the oefense of the
blond boss, which he began Saturday.
He is reviewing the testimony In much
detail, taking up the cases OF the several
democrats VINO voted for Mr.. Lorimer.
AS has been his custom, Senator Lori
mer Is q constant and regular attendant.
Wearing q blue suit and a ministerial
white bow tie, he listens attentively to
every word OF the speakers, apparently
the least worried or any one in the
chamber.

Does Not Appear Depressed.

There 10 no indication in his demeanor
that he Is cast down by prospect that
when the final vote is taken the Senate
will solemnly declare that his seat was
obtained by corrupt means and practices,
and tor the first time since the founding
Of this republic the upper house Of the
national Congress shall expel one Of Its
members because of the corruption OIL
his election.
That the vote will be adverse to Sem
ator Lor1mer many OF his friends admit.
1t is predicted by the anti-Lorimer SEN
ators that the margin will not De small.
But before that nnal vote is taken. this
quiet head OF family who is the center
OF this most sensational senatorial cleo
ton case in the history of this country is
expected to rise in his place and plead his
own personal innocence and deny the cor
ruption OF the Illinois legislature to in
sure his election. The day OF that speech
ls not yet Indicated, but it probably will
not be before Friday.
