Answers to ALI Questions.
HANEcEY READS THE PAPERS

caso Journals that Lorimer II
the Only Men who CouId
Have Teen Elected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1i.-Details OF the
Band OF Hope. the Hopkins Helping
Handlers and the Hopkins Apple Barrel.
all things more or less synonomous with
republican politics In Illinois In the SEN
atorial fight Of 1903 and 1900, were told
by Senator Lorlmer .oday before the
committee OF senators investigating hls
election.
Part OF the morning sesrlon was taken
up the reading OF political stories printed
by Chicago papers at the time of Sem
ator Lori er's election. Judge Haneey
insisted on reading them In full TO the
committee. He said they would support
his contention that Hopkins could never
have been elected with the opposition Of
Governor Deneen and that Senator Lor-
liner was the ona man az that time who
could be elected with democratic votes.
This was Senator Lorimsr's third day
as a witness and his testimony had
reached only the groundwork stage. coun-
sci on both sides expressed the, opinion
that his orofs-examination might not ID
reached before saturday. Members Of the
investigating committee are taking lead
Ing part in the inquiry. Senators Kern
Jones and Fletcher ask almost as many
questions as the lawyers.
Senator Lorimer gives complete answers
and insists on explaining contributing In
cldents. Frequently when asked aues-
ton he says:
n think had better tell you the stor,
that goes with that" Then he rccitss tn,
events which have political Significance

II think It Is a liberal price
Would SIS be fair price?'
II don't want to sit here as critic on

Was SIS a reasonable or unreasonable

Asked to he More Specific.
Il would ike to ask my counsel ques-

questions are a bit unreasonable"
Mr. Carnegie, in view Of the examina-

ner. emphatlcally, Il do not think l am
unres sonable. 1t seems TO me that you
are reluctant to answer questions which

US about the steel plate pools; you could
tell us nothing about the book value Of
your property. and now gten we ask you
about what you thoaght fair price for

II turn to my counsel because at that
time there might have been boom in
rails and the price had been up" said
Mr.. Carnegie.
Il do not think SIS an unreasonable
price" continued the ironmaster. IF
there was a boom the price would have
been higher. was in the business OF
making money and wanted the highest
price could get. II I wanted TO sell for

through bribery and corruption.
Money had flowed like water and
charges of corruption were numerous
The board of county commissioners
heard all of the evidence and then de-
cided that the county had in reality
voted itself dry at the election. and
the board entered an order of that
kind and refused to grant the license
TO O'Donnell.
O'Donnell appealed to the circuit
court, and that court granted his Ii
cense. along with nineteen others for
Kokomo. Jay then appealed to the
supreme court.
The supreme court holds that the
board OF election commissioners had
no right to go behind the returns of
the election and change the figures It
says that the only thing the board of
election commi ssioners do is to
take the returns as made by the cleo
ton boards and certify the result as
shown by them. But the supreme
court holds that the board of county
commissioners has the right to go be-
hind the returns and examine into the
truth OF the returns in order to ascer-
tain the real Will of the people at the
election. And 1t held too. that after
the county commissioner had made
this examination and had entered it's
order declaring the result the order Of
| the board was binding on everybody.
and that not even the circuit court had
any power to change 1t or to grant q
saloon license after the commit ssione-s
had declared the election carried by
the drys.
| The action of the county commits
sioners, in other words is final ard
cannot be attacked. The supreme
court ordered the circuit court to dis
miss O'DonnelPs APPLICATION for a H.
cense.
This means that all of the saloons Al
Kokomo must go out of business and
| it means too that the Marion saloons
must close, for the same question
arose there and was decided the same
way. but no appeal was taken to the
supreme court. Therefore. it Is
double barreled victory for the Anti.
saloon forces The Kokomo case II
tracted attention all over the state.
