SEN TOR. LORlINlER OUSTED
FROM The FEDERAL SENATE
By a Vote of Fifty Five 10
TwentyEight by His
Colleagues.
SENATORS ARE ANGRY
Over the lInpassioned and
Bitter Attacks Made by
Him on Them.

WASHINGTON. %, c., July IA
BY a vote of hfty-aye to twenty
eight, the Senate today voted to un-
seat Senator Lorlmer of Illinois, and
held his election ahFalid.
This action followed the conciu-
sion Of an impassionea SPEECH by
Lorimer ID which he analysed the
evidence against him to show that
he was the victim OF conspiracy.
For more than two years the night
had been on to oust Loriner from
his seat in the Senate as a represen-
tative Of the state of Illinois. A
constant newspaper agitation, inves-
legations by two Senate Committees
and one committee of the Illinois
Legislature, millions of words OF tes-
timony. and scores Of speeches have
kept. the case Of Iotimer before the
public.
Charges and counter charges OF
bribery and corruption, elimination
and recrsminatIon. Indictments, trials
and "confessipns'' galore have fiiied
the history of the case. Today's
vote in the Senate ended one Of the
most sensational legislative i'm
broglios that the country has ever
known.
1t began April 80. 1910, about
year after the election OF L.orlmer
to the Senate, with the publication
in the Chicago Tribune Of q story
by Charles a. white, member Of
tho Illinois legislature, exposing cor
ruption in that body and charging
that White had been bribed to vote
for Lorlmer for senator. L6rimer
was elected by combina-
ton of Democrats and RepdblI-
cans in the legislature. Shortly at
ter the publication Of the White
story the new senator arose in the
Senate chamber ond demanded an
investigation of his election,
"A Senate investigation was or
dered and committee headed BY
Senator Burrows, Republican, Mich
ignt took up the task. For nearly
four months, September to Deem
Der, 1910, the committee took testl-
mony, at Chicago and washington,
and finally submitted a report ex-
onerating Lorimer. A minority re-
port however, presented BY Senator
Beveridge, of indiana, sustained the
charges against Lorlmer. After
lengthy debate in the course Of
which Lorimer delivered a sensa-
tlonally brilliant speech defending
himself. the majority report was
adopted by the Senate on March i,
1911, by vote Of 46 to As, I'VE not
voting.
Meantime the case had startled
illinois and the state was abIaze
with the Developments. Indictment
after Indictment was found against
the members of the legislature which
elected Lorlmer. White Had con.
tessed that he was given $4,000 by
Representative Lee ovSeil Browne,
Democratic leader, OF tho legisla-
ture, and $500 by Representative
Robert o. Wilson to vote for Lori

that the lead that Clark has brought

an attempt to override the verdict
of the primaries and they have
made up their minds that nothing
like that is going to happen in Bal

iISS NELLIE JAY OF LASALI.E.
WHILE IRONING, HAS MAR.
ROW ESCAPE - HANDS AND
WRISTS SCARED BY FLAMES

LaSalle, June 26 - Displaying
great courage, although suffering
rom deep burns on her hands sus-
tanned from an explosion of wood
alcohol early this morning. Miss
Nellie Jay. the / 6 year old daugh-
ter OF William Jay. ran three blocks
to DR.. Vance's residence where she
burns were dressed.
Miss Jay arose early in order to
do the weeks ironing. She was
to use gasoline iron,
but instead of filling the iron with
Gasoline, she used wood alcohol.
The iron did not work just right SO
she decided to pour more alcohoi
into 1t. AS she reached for the
bottle of alcohol there was a loud
explosion and the fiery liquid shot
over her arms and hands. Mrs. John
Behrens, her sister. rushed in ana
put out the flames, but not before
Miss Nellie was painfully burned.
Declaring that she was able to go
alone to a doctor Miss Jay ran TO
Or. Vance's for treatment. She was
greatly when she reached
his house. but stood the dressing OF
the burns without flinching.
1t is thought that the fumes We're
Eenerated in the alcohol bottle
probably from the heat in the kit
chen. The house was not damaged.
