LORIMER CASE TO BE
FOUGHT OUT ON FLOOR

WASHINGTON. March 29.--Sen-
ator Lorimer, OF Illinois. yesterday
won an Overwhelming vindication at
the hands of the special committee OF
eight senators who have finished 4
second investigation OF his election
by the Illinois legislature in 1909.
Twice challenged and once acquit-
ted, the committee by votes of 3 10 3
on all vital points completely exon
Grated him of any knowledge OF leg
islative corruption.
Edward Hines, the millionaire lum-
herman referred 10 in the investiga-
ton as ''the man who put Lorimer
over also got vindidation by the
committee. IL had been charged that
Hines raised a corruption fund OF
500, 900 to elect Lorimer TO the SEN
ate. The mapority repudiated that
and passed a resolution that the eYi-
dence had shown that he did not
raise or contribute TO any sum i'm
properly.
The majority held that no new evil
dence had been adduced 10 Justify
reversal of the senate's previous ac-
ton in Senator Lorimer's favor; that
there was no evidence OF jackpot
in the Illinois general assembly OF
1909 in connection with his election
and, fatty, that no corrupt practices
had been shown by the investigation.
The case will be squarely before
the senate by next week. when a pro-
tracted debate will begin. Neither
side has made a thorough canvass OF
the situation. Republican leaders
point out that there will be about 81
new senator's TO vote on the case in
addition 10 those who have already
voted on substantially the same
charges.
The basis Of the committees &C.
ton was the plea raised by Lorimer's
counsel that the previous action Of
the senate bars reconsideration.
The majority report on the main
proposition will be signed by Sen
ators Dillingham;, Gamble, Fletcher,
Johnston and Jones and the minority
by Senator's Kenyon, Kern and Lea.

DRAKE FORTUNE PURE MYTH
Persons Who Advanced Money to Get
Share Of ! Large Estate
Are Losers.

Bloomington, Ill.-Through the CO
operation Of the London Times. local
interests have made an investigation
OF all the records obtainable in Great
Britain regarding the alleged estate OF
Sir Francis Drake and the result
shows that numerous persons In the
United States who advanced money in
an effort to get a share of a large for
tune might as well have invested in
the South sea bubble.
The results Of the investigation,
summarized show: That the estate
presumably passed to the heirs under
the will 315 years ago., and its present
value is not known and cannot be
estimated, but probably is not large.
There is no litigation pending for set
tlement and distribution of the estate.
There are no heirs known to be In the
United States.
