$4,000 SOUGHT
IN LORIhER CASE
Bill Presented by Deposed Sen
ator Proves Washington
STARTER.

Washington, n. c. Aug. s.-william
Lorimer has asked the senate TO pay
him approximately S1S5,oO0 as a reim-
bursement OF the expense he incurred
in defending his election TO that body.
OF that amount $4,000 is for the fees
of former Judge Hanecy and other le-
gal counsel.
Lorimer's bill, carefully itemized,
was presented by Senator Dilling-
ham yesterday to the special commit
tee which investigated the Lorimer
scandal.
The committee decided that Lori
mer is entitled to some reimburse
ment, but only a fraction OF the
amount he claims. Some thought S.
600 would be enough" but no definite
decision was reached. The entire ex-
pense OF the second investigation will
exceed S125,000 and there is not SUM-
cient money in the contingent fund
| TO meet this demand
Chairman Dillingham;, therefore.
will introduce a bill making a special
| appropriation for the various amounts
remaining unpaid. This bill will be re-
| ferred TO the Lorimer committee for a
/ definite recommendation and the ap-
| preparation eventually may be includ-
ed in the general deficiency supply
bill.
John J. Healy OF Chicago. who WAS
one OF the attorneys for the commit
tee, put in bill for $4,000. which is
at the rate OF 800 day for the 10
months he was employed and is the
scale of compensation he received
from the Helm committee OF the ILL
noiS state senate. John p Marble, the
other attorney for the dicretion of the
senators. The committee decided that
$4,000 each would be sufficient COM
pensation for Marble and Healy.
The proposed reimbursement Of
Lorimer will be fought on the floor OF
the senate, il not in the committee It
is contended that there is no Just
warrant in a gift of money from the
public treasury to a man whose cleo
ton was proved to have been pro-
cured by corruption. The production
of the Lorimer itemized bill will be
demanded and also proof that Lorimer
| has personally borne the expenses he
alleges.
In support Of the move TO reim-
burse Lorimer. 1t is argued that the
, house of Representatives customarily
pays $4,000 to unsuccessful contest
ants for seats in that body. Many
contests have been brought merely
for the purpose OF obtaining this oop
+ pensation.
