LORIMER MONEY To
The AID OF BROWNE
Senator Admits He Contributed
Thousands to Defense.
Searching Question by Senator Kern
of Indiana Brings Out Story
of Alleged Perjury and
Intimidation.

In Washington Friday a sensation
was caused when Senator Lorimer,
testifying before the special senate
committee inquiry into his title to the
seat he holds in the upper house of
congress, calmly admitted that he con-
tributed $4,000 to $4,000 to the fund
for the defense of Lee O'Nea1 Browne.
Senator Lorimers plea that he is the
victim of a conspiracy to GUST him
from the senate also was Unexpectedly
propounded.
The story broke out suddenly after
he had told at the suggestion of his at
torney how he gave Lee O'Neil Browne
thousands for his defense. Senator
Kern fired a cold question, whether
the Illinois senator was not trying to
defeat the ends of justice. Then came
the story of the conspiracy, the theory
of the innocence of Browne and others,
the intimidations to get false testi-
Link, the fragrant perjury of White
and the wealth of details.
Senator Lorimer did not tell his re-
markable story without interruption.
The situation in the crowded room
was tense. A constant fire of ques-
tons was poured at him by Senators
Kern and Lee. Occasionally one of
the other senators, admittedly friend
ly to him, would ask for substantiation
of his startling charges. Senators
Kenyon, Gamble and Jones were not
present. More than once his attorney,
Elbridge Hanecy, interrupted as if to
aid the witness, but Senator Lorimer
did not seem to need assistance at any
time His story was not shaken. Ere
quently he could not marshal facts to
prove general statements, but his calm
was not ruffied under the most pointed
questions or his assurance shaken.
Attorney Hanecy made it certain
that Senator Lorimer's tory would not
be concluded this week, when he an
nOunced that he will explain each of
the 10S votes he received.

SEVEN WARSHIP SUNK
Turkish Gunboats and an Armed Yacht
Destroyed in Rcd Sea.

Seven Turkish gunboats and an

ian fleet in battle in the Red Sea.
The action occurred Jan. Z outside
the bay of Kungda, small walled
town with a garrison and two forts,
about 500 miles north Of Alden, on the

A brief official note just issued says:
"The Italian fleet in the Red Sea en-
countered and destroyed seven Turk
ish gunboats and captured a Turkish
armed yacht The Turkish Warships
offered a violent resistance, but nc loss
was sustained by the Italians"
The division of Italian cruisers
which has been securing the coasts Of
the Red Sea in search of Turkish war
vessels and ships conveying contraband
destined for the Turkish garrisons in
Yemen province, Arabia, encountered
the fiotillia of Turkish gunboats and
at once opened fire. The Turks re-
piled, but their feeble armament sue
cumbed to the superior weapons of the
Italians.
