DR.. GATES ~

DR.. George w. Gates, president Of
Fisk University, has been on the sick
list several days, and at one time it
was reported that he was in very
critical condition, but at last reports
he was much improved. DR.. Gates
has not been himself since he receiv-
ed such terrible shakeup in a wreck
on the Pennsylvania railroad, and it

LORIMER FILES HIS BRIEF
It Declares that No Proof Of Corrup.
ton is Submitted.
PLACES BLAME ON TRIBUNE
Entire Case, II Says, Is Based ON
Testimony OF White and that No
One youches for His
CredibiIIty.

WASHINGTON, March 1S-A brief
summing up argument on the facts in
the investigation OF Senator Lorimer's
election was filed with the senate inyesti-
eating committee today by Mr.. Lorlmer's
counsel. It declares that no proof has
been given either Of the raising or ex-
pending of any corruption fund for the
election, and that the charges are the
outgrowth Of the determination OF the
Chicago Tribune and its allies to destroy
Senator Lorimer politically and other
wise"
The brief, suppiementing one of the
legal points filed recently. contends that
the basis of the charges against Lori
mer. though Intangible and irresponsibly
made" is that votes were cast for him
as the result Of the bribery Of members
Of the Illinois legislature. Four votes
we're attacked. those OF Charles A. White.
who sold the Chicago Tribune a story
that he had been bribed for 81 100 to vote
for Lorimer; II. ]. C. BeckeIheyer. indicted
by the Cook county grand jury on other
matters than the Lorimer case; Michael
Link and Daniel W. Holstlaw.
Immunity Granted Three.
The brief says that Beckemeyer. Link
and Holstlaw were all given immunity
from punishment for offenses other than
stating they had received money for vot-
ing for Lorimer. though all three swore
at other times that their votes were not
procured by bribery. AS to White. eoun-
sci argued that no one vouehed FOR his
credibility.
Even the Tribune, who bought him
and his story" says the brief did not
recognize in him or claim for him anv
trustworthiness. The states attorney,
who used him as a witness. admitted
White was 30 discredited that no convie-
tion could be based on his uncorroborsted
testimony. and that there was no evil
dence outside Whites own Testimony TO
sustain the charges Of White
other Testimony Discredited.
The testimony OF Beckemeyer, Link
and Holstlaw is unworthy OF belief by
every recognized rule and test Of credi-
bility. Their testimony has little tendency
TO sustain the charges. and so far as II
Is adverse to Lorimer IL Is unworthy Of
any belief.
Under somewhat theatrical cireum-
stances public attention after the former
decision BY the senate Of the matter was
directed to an alleged conversation be-
tween Clarence S. Funk and Edward
