LORIMER IS
ON TRIAL

WASHINGTON, June 4.--The second
trial of Senator Lorimer, of Illinois, on
the charge of having been elected by
corrupt methods, was begun IN the Sen
ate today with speech by Senator
Kern, of Indiana, a member of the in
vestigating committee. who signed the
minorit yreport against Lorimer
Senator Kern gave especial attention to
the plea that the case had been settled
by the Senate's vindication last year.
That plea, he said had been raised only
not admit Its validity; it had come too
late and that the plea itself was res
judicata' =
Reminding the Senate that, under the
Constitution. 1t is the Judge of the quail
ifications of its own members, Mr.. Kern
contended 1t was competent for that
body to proceed at any tine in any
matter involving the integrity of its
membership.
There was,s.' he said, mo suggestion
, by Mr.. Lorimer or any one on his be
half that the Senate had not ample
| power to direct reinvestigation of his
case He tacitly acquiesced In the Sen
| ate's action. He appeared in person and
by counsel before the committee In the
months of investigation. cross-examin-
ing all witnesses called by the COM
mittee and examining scores of wit
nesses in his behalf on every possible
phase of the case"
1T is now too te for Senator Lori
merr 70 be permi ed to urge this re-
| markdDle defense, said Senator Kern.
Mr.. Kern said he believed the first
Investigation had been utterly incom-
! plete. Senator Hepburn suggested that
an accusd member could only be tried
by the Senate concurrently elected with
him
If the next class of senators coming
can raise the question 1t can be raised
repeatedly" he said
Mr.. Kern responded that the Senate
like court was n ontinung body. IF
every Senator should die. the Senate
would be In existence still. he said.
Senator Kern contended that new evil
denec had multiplied to show the activity
of the ''malefactors in the cnse" which,
he said. connected Senator Lorlmer with
the improper methods employed IN his
election.
