William Lorimer today resumed his
desperate attempt 10 sway by dra-
matte appeal of innocence the most
difficult of audiences the United
States Senate-and obtain a vindi-
cation at their hands of the corrup-
ton in his election
Even Lorimer's enemies today paid
tribute to the power Of his oratory
by making another canvass of the
Senate to discover whether their es-
innate Of a majority of ten against
seating OF the junior senator from
Illinois had been changed. They
claimed il had not, and that when a
vote was taken, probably late this
afternoon. Lorimer would be ousted
from the Senate as the beneficiary OF
a corrupted legislature.
If Lorimer was aware OF the odds
against him, he gave no indication
today His vigorous phrases of de-
nunciation OF his enemies and pic
turesque pleas of innocence carried
a powerful dramatic appeal Packed
galleries eagerly watched the speak
ers short. stout figure. and hung
upon his words II was the general
opinion that Lorimer was making an
even better fight this time than he
did eighteen months ago, when he
faced the same charges Of corruption

RAIN NEARLY
BROWNS HIM

Its chilly" was the startling de-
claration that caused the policemen
sweltering and frizzling in the pre-
cincts of the City Hall last night to
gasp and look around. An apparition
met their eyes in the shape of a giant
young negro down whose drenched
clothing ran rivulets of water, aud
who was in fact shivering.
james Kirby, the chilly one, hadnot
been freauenting the city swimming
pools The trouble in the beginning
was that James had applied to much
liquid internally, and on his way TO
his home In Newport the rains came
down and the external application Of
more liquid refreshment proved too
much for his equilibrium. The police
found him in the street at Maryland
and Eighth avenues, half drowned in
the rain and the flood OF water sweep
ing down the hill

Dynamite Whiskers.

The name r'whiskers" is applied to
feathery crystals which gather upon
the outside Of the wrappings OF frozen
dynamite. The ''whiskers" are more
irritable" than dynamite itself. A
case is on record where sticks Of dyna-
mite had been thawed out in hot wa
ter and the can OF hot water In which
IL was done left in the blacksmith shop
without being emptied OF the residual
scum Of grease and whiskers. The first
blow OF the blacksmith's hammer on a
nearby anvil was sufficient TO set OF
the whiskers by conclusion. The can
was blown to pieces, but fortunately
no one was hurt.

Hotel Lobby Ghosts.

browsing in a hotel lobby on a
balmy afternoon were some fifty men
in different stages of somnolence. Pres
emily bellboy passed shouting;
"Mr. Zachary Taylor. Mr.. Zachary
Taylor. please"
The name made everybody sit up.
Zachary Taylor?" said a smooth
faced youth That name sounds IA
miliar"
''Familiar?" snorted the graybeard
beside him Good Lordr
Then Zachary Taylor appeared. He
was dapper little fellow known to
nobody there except a personal friend
who had wanted him PACED. yet he
had attracted as much attention as
royalty.
Scenes like that are common in
hotel lobbies." said a clerk. Nearly
every day some name once famous is
PACED in New York hotels. OF course
the boy is not trying to call from the
grave the original possessor of the
great name. but the loungers in the
lobby show almost as much interest as
II he were. e."-Washington Star.

SAY Mr.. CHURCHMAN
WILL BE CITY JUDGE

Friends Of Prothonotary Philip O.
Churchman are predicting that he
will be appointed by Governor Pen
newill to be Judge Of the munacipal
court to succeed Judge Edwin r.
Cochran, whose term will expire in
October. Mr.. Churchman was ap-
pointed judge OF the court twelve
years ago, after the State Senate had
refused TO confirm the appointment of
Judge Cochran, which was made by
then Governor Ebe w Tunnell. After
the Senate failed TO confirm Judge
Cochran. Governor John Hum. who
had assumed office, appointed Mr.
churchman as judge. There was a
clash over the question Of who was
entitled TO the seat, and after Judge
Churchman assumed the office Judge
Cochran took the case into Superior
Court
Chief Justice Lore and Judges
Boyce and Pennewill, OF the Superior
Court. unanimously decided that the
appointment required confirmation,
and that Judge Churchman was en-
titled to the judgeship. Judge Coch-
ran. however. carried an appeal to the
Supreme Court, where Chancellor
Nicholson and Judge Grubb decided
that the appointment did not require
confirmation, while Judge Spruance
ruled as the Superior Court had that
confirmation was necessary. Thus
Judge Cochran was awarded the judg-
ship. The case revealed phase Of
the judicial system whereby the opinI
ion OF two judges prevailed over that
of four judges.
Friends of Deputy Judge Harry P.
Joslyn and of Leonard r. Wales also
are strongly urging their appointment
70 the bench Of the Municipal Court
The appointment is for twelve years,
at salary of $500 a year.
