LOR|MER CASE LIKELY
TO HALT ADJOURNMENT
Prolonged Debate of Senate
Committee Reports Probable,
Blocking Other Business.

Several of the Senate leaders who are
friendly to Senator Lorimer Of Illinois in
dicated today their disappointment that
the fight over the Lorimer case is not to
be brought to a close at once by Senator
Lorimer's resignation.
While Vice President Sherman will
neither affirm nor deny that he went out
to Chicago to present to Mr.. Lorimer
and his friends the adverse attitude OF
the majority of the Senate and to urge
him to resign. the talk of several promi-
nent republican senators this morning in
dicated that the object OF Mr.. Shermans S
trip has been well guessed.
Means Prolonged Session.
up his seat voluntarily from the stand
point of adjournment. several Of the re-
publican leaders said it meant the pro.
longing OF the session for at least ter
days or two weeks.
There was a prediction around the
Capitol today that even Mr.. Lorimer's
friends will not seek to delay much fur
ther the final vote on the case, even If
an adverse verdict is sure. The situation
has been put squarely up to Mr.. Lorimer,
escape vote by resigning. Little hope is
felt by some for a change that would in
sure a vote favorable to Mr.. Lorimer,
and in that light. it is argued, the final
issue may as well come soon.
Senator Expected Here.
Dispatches from Chicago indicate that
Mr.. Lorimer may come to Washington
within few days unless his physical
condition makes it impossible and his
physician issues most positive orders to
the contrary. Unless he resigns, it is
generally conceded, Congress will not be
able to adjourn before the convening of
the national conventions.
There has been a hope that, the tariff
and appropriation bills, together with
minor legislation. now pending before
the Senate could be disposed of before
June 15. But a fight on the floor over
the Lorimer case is sure to take up q
week or ten days. and that will leave too
little time for the consideration Of the
other measures to insure votes on all of
them.

Charging that the protected industries

enue Of a thousand million dollars in ex-
cess Of legitimate profits. Senator Hitch
cock today urged his resolution request
ing the President to supply the Senate
with full information relative to the cor
porations as shown by the, corporation
tax returns.
The result Of these great returns, he
said, was to increase the millionaires
make more evident the disparity OF
wealth and encourage the disposition
toward imperialism. He asserted that
the iron and steel manufacturers alone
were collecting $300.000,000 more than
their dues. ss. ,~-s.s-
Senator Stone charged that inducements
had been held out by the manufacturer
to cheap foreign labor to come to this
country. The statement was challenged
by Senators Galiinger- and Lodge.
1.-THE circumstances that upon landing
5000 or 1900 European laborers go direct
to one establishment, as there Is evidence
they have done," said Senator Stone. q
consider a strong indication that they
have been made the subject OF induce
ments."
Senator Hitchcock concurred in this
view and Senator Borah charged the ex-
istence of species of industrial peon-

Andrew Carnegie Cited.
Mr. Hitchcock cited Andrew Carnegie
as an instance of the uneven distribution
Of wealth.

won't be any republican party left, and
the democratic party will go in by de.

Mr.. Gallinger declared that there was
as great difference between democrats
over the policy of free raw material as
between the republicans over the pres
idential nomination.
THAT is putting it pretty strong

The democrats are trembling in their
