Lorimer Talks
About Red Flag

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Sen
ate chamber filled up slowly today
under the call for q quorum, but only
hfty-six senators answered to their
names. The galleries were not half
filled.
a Lorimer declared he would
give the Senate an insight into the
charaster of the men, who. he said,
had tried to ruin him.
ut is true that the Senate has the
right to deny me a seat In this body
he said, ION the 1imiest pretext, or
on no pretext at all. I intend to show
that no vote cast for me was in
fuenced by fraud
MIR President" he said in meas
ured tones, this is no joke. This is
a solemn and serious question. If
the Senate decides to follow the
views of the minority on this COM
mittee it will be a travesty on civil
lied jurisprudence, a mockery on JUS
tice. It will be a declaration that the
Senate has decided to follow the red
flag; that it has become the advocate
of anarchy; has adopted the doctrine
Of the recall as advocated by it's arch
champion"
Senator Lorimer departed from his
manuscript for a moment to refer to
the Chicago newspapers. He declared
certain of the newspaper and
publishers there would be in prison ii
the public prosecutors had been
active.

While working on a telegraph pole
in South Fourth street, Harrison,
Robert Spence, 36 years old, of 127
Lafayette street, Newark. was almost
instantly killed today by coming in
contact with a live electric wire.
Spence, who is employed by the
American District Telegraph Com
pany. went UP on the polea to fix the
wires in the real of the Lackawanna
Coal Company shed. Near the top
there are about fifteen cross-arms on
which telegraph and electric wires
are strung. and Spence must have
put his arm over one of the live
wires.
In a moment his body became a
blazing mass and was suspended,
head downward. between the sew
eral wires.
Max Bretz, a lineman, who was
working with Spence, went up on
the pole to his aid. BY the aid of a
rope he succeeded in lowering the
body to the ground, but Spence was
already dead. Brett was severely
burned by contact with the body. An
automobile ambulance conveyed the
body to Condon's morgue. in Harri-
son.
Spence's home is in Texas, and he
was boarding at the Lafayette street

Painters Pocket and
Goes Shopping for
Benefit of Lit
tie Chums.

Arrested as a thief, Eva Mum, 8
years old, of s24 Passaic street, adj
mitted In the Third Precinct Police
Court today that she stole $40 from
a painter working in her home and
spent every cent of the money in
one long and glorious shopping tour.
She bought a vast array of childish
playthings. dolls, p~arasols, jewelry,
clothing. Then with the last of her
loot, she took her little sweetheart,
Alfred Zeigler, 7 years old, of ITO
Bowery street, and his sister, Freda,
6 years old, to the movies"
With all her purchases she had in
tended to play the part of Lady Boun-
tiful to all her little friends.
A little awed by the majesty of the
law, in the person of a very big po-
iiceman standing beside her, she
gravely recounted all this in court
today. Judge Hahn ordered her
committed to the House of Detention
to await the action of the Juvenile
Court.
Then, u~nconcerned and smiling,
she and Freddy accompanied Plain
clothesman Miller to the Bowery
street shops and the two big depart
ment stores where she had squan-
dered her loot.
She took the money early yesterday
afternoon from the pocket of Barney
Bowos, of 1888 Pacific street, a painter,
who was at work finishing a DON in
her home. The roll contained sos
altogether, but she left the small bills
and chose the two twenties.
She called for her two friends and
they started out together. They first
bought four rings in a Ferry street
five and ten-cent store for forty
cents. This broke the first twenty
dollar bill.
These and a pair of white shoes
and a pair of slippers were their first
purchases. Next they bought a pair
of eyeglasses in a drug store at
Chapel and Bowery streets. Coming
to the centre of the city they went
to a Market street department store
and chose three dolls and an Indian
suit. These alone cost $10.SS. After
that came two ~parasols, blue and
one green. Ice cream sodas n the
movies wound up the program.

The afternoon program opened with
the finals of the we~ight-putting, the

Hourly Temperature
Yesterday
noon, IS.

"
Preceded by heavy black clouds, the
first real storm since June 30 visited
the city shortly after 2:30 O'Clock this
afternoon. 1t was accompanied by a
gale of wind which blew at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The electric
display was spectacular, and in the
first few minutes the lightning struck
three places. Alarms were quickly
and Thirteenth street; 2s2. at
Waverly and Belmont avenues, and 679
at Fifteenth avenue and Bruce street.
The rain continued to fall heavily
and brought the first relief in several
days.
In various parts of the city trees
were blown down and the throngs
were drenched in many cases before
being able to reach places of shelter.
The storm began as near as can
be figured by Professor Wiener at
2:15 O'Clock. and came practically
from a cellar sky. Up until 2:30 one
third of an inch of rain fell.
+ The wind blew down a large tree
at Bergen. and Runyon streets and
blocked traffic on the Clifton avenue
trolley line.
Firemen discovered that the alarm
from box $40 was a false one. The
lightning caused a small blaze in the
Atlantic and Pacific tea store at sos
Clinton avenue. The damage was SIS.
Despite the break of the hot spell.
which resulted today in slightly lower
temperature, another victim was
claimed by the heat.
He was Daniel Pagnotti, "a years
CID. of 81 Garside street. He was
overcome while working yesterday.
A physician restored him. but he be-
came worse during the night, and
carly today was removed to the City
Hospital, where he died.
Tie humidity remained very high.
although the mercury was two de-
grees lower al noon than at the same
hour yesterday.
1T will be slightly cooler tonight"

Central High School, land consider
ably cooler tomorrow night"
During the night the GOODNESS was
marked. 1t was only rs at midnight;
yesterday 1t vas So. The humidity
remained high.
The local forecast is: Generally
fair tonight and Friday; slightly
cooler tonight; light to moderate

A year ago today the high mark
was 81 degrees.
The cool night, following a thunder
shower and an eighteen-mile-an-hour
wind late yesterday, gave a respite
to the city that made the heat today
felt less than it otherwise would have
been. One prostration was reported.

of s15 South Nineteenth street, who
was overcome near the reservoir in
Branch Brook Park. He was taken
to the City Hospital.

general relief from the torrid weather
