Thomas Henderson, eighteen years DID, OF
No. 2S4 Broadway, Brooklyn, members OK
the firm of the Coleman Speciality Company
began to visit Coney Island, 10 which 70
sort they believed the boy would probably
be lured with $500 in his possession. Iney
were right, chiefly because Henderson had
found Philadelphia too slow and he went I"
Coney Island, which he said he found very
fast.
Robert Coleman. president OF the cons
panv, sent Henderson TO the Peoples Iruss
Company to draw $500. When the youtn

the office Mr. Coleman hurried around 10
the police station and told the Lieutenant
in command. Then general alarm was
sent out Despite the fact that the poH''

that the members of the firm knew some

Chicago, July 13.--No surprise was felt
here when the Senate voted 10 unseat Will
lam Lorimer. His strongest friends had
expected the result, but they were disap-
pointed that he did not receive a larger vote
in the Senate.
Members Of the Legislature who had
voted for Senator Lorimer raised the ques-
ton whether he would become a candidate
for reelection in case a special session Of
the Legislature were called, and said they
did not think he would stand for re-elec-
tion.
G. s. Funk, manager OF the International
Harvester Company, said "Mr. Lorimer's 8
great speech before the Senate was fruit
less in the face of the mass Of evidence
against him. I am glad II is all over. The
vote was right beyond a question"
Charles W. VAIL clerk of the Superior
Court said: THE credit for tile expulsion
Of Lorimer belongs 10 the Chicago news
papers that exposed him. His retirement
will have no effect on the state political
situation. unless Deneen takes his seat. and
then 1t will complicate the third term ard
regular tickets"
Alderman Michael Kenna ("Hinky Dink")
had this TO say: "Lorimer could have saved
his friends lot of trouble by 'ducking'
before this happened. Now he has a lot Of
good men in wrong with their constituents
II was a cinch they'd get him, and he
might have saved all this fuss by resignina
ia the aryt place"

WHY CULLOM CHANGED
Illinois Senator Explains His
Vote to Unseat Lorimer.

washington, July l3.-Explaining why nc
voted against Senator LOrimer to-day att'f
having supported him on the former No'e
on the Lorlmer case. Senator cullom, OF
Illinois, tonight said:
There was 10 evidence In this invesuga-
ZION TO show that Mr.. LOrimer either per
sonaly or through others, was gIiIty OF
corrupt practices IN his election to lhe sen
afe, Yet there IS evidence, 20 my mind OF
n conclusive character, which shows tnat
corruption did exist in the forty-siHth Gen,
eral Assembly of the State Of Illinois, ana
that the Scnatorship was connected Win
and became a part Of a programme or 4
certain membership Of the Legislature
which sent IoTimtr TO the Senate.
Whether It was intended that the seha-
torship should become a part OF th!s pro
l,rarnmc avails nothing. The fact remains
that senator Lorimer was elected by votes
that were tainted, and the iesiinoh. VI
confessed bribe-takcrs remains that tneJ
were being paid their "Lorimcr money.
After considering all the facts, cdme 70
the conclusion that | could not cohscleh-

DENEEN NOT SURPRISED
Governor Says Lorimer Vote Will
Please the People.

Springfield, H., July l3.-Barely had the
news Of the unseating OF william Lorimer
I'm the United States Senate reached TINS
city than all sorts OF speculation was IN
dulged in regarding the action TO be taken
in filing the vacancy. Governor Deneen
holds the key 70 the situation through the
power vested I'm him to name a successor
Among those mentioned as possibilities
all close political friends OF Governor
Deneen-are Roy O.. West. newly elected
member of the Republican National Com
mittee, and b. 4. Eckart, a Chicago miller.
Friends OF ex-senator Albert J. Hopkins.
who received the advisory vote at the pri-
mary preceding the Lorimer election, are
urging that he be appointed.
Governor Deneen issued statement to-
night, in which he said:
I am not surprised at the vote in the
Senate. The facts were too plain for sue
cessful controversy No one could ex-
plain on any reasonable and honest theory
why hRty-threc Democrats should vote FOR
Mr. LOrimeT for Senator, as they did, or
why four Democrats should confess TO
receiving money for having voted for him
Nor could any one dssociate this vote
from the bipartisan organization OF the
Assembly or the jackpot
The effort to meet these incontrovertible
facts followed the course pursued by the
defence in desperate cases In our Grim
inal courts, and the scandals which have
followed the investigations Of this case
through the grand juries and criminal
courts have had their climax in the con-
spiracy to ruin the reputation Of Clarence
S Funk.
The public, ! think, knows in a general
way the enormous influences which had TO
do with the election Of Mr.. Lorimer, with
the defence In the criminal courts and
before the investigating committees Of the
state and national Senates and the extraor-
dinary efforts made TO retain his seat
This case has attracted national atten-
ton, and the people Of our country, ]
think, will feel d sense of satisfaction in
seeing the forces Of law triumph over the
influences which have been brought to bear
to defeat it. 1t will strengthen their con-
ndence I'm the law and IN the integrity OF
their government and will tend to prevent
the recurrence Of such scandals In our
political system.

however, that Joe" was attacked and
the cash and checks taken from him by

Senator TilIman Brings Tears.

Only two incidents marked the few min
utes between the termination OF Lorimer's
speech and the taking Of the rollcall which
resulted in his defeat. One was the charge
Of Senator Dixon, Colonel Roosevelt 8
campaign manager, that the affidavits Lori
mer had introduced to show attempted
corruption Of delegates to the Chicago CON
vention were malicious and deliberate
falsehoods."
The other was the request of Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, feeble from the
effects of paralysis, for permission to have
the clerk read statement from him. II
was an affirmation Of his belief in Lori
mer's innocence and a pathetic statement
Of his own feebleness. Tillman wept as 1t
was read and other members Of the Senate
exhibited deep feeling. The statement said:
Since I was stricken with paralysis thirty
months ago, have thought often ana
seriously about death and the hereafter
That | am here at all is in some respects
q miracle, and ] know ] must go henCC
and meet the great Judge race TO iaUc
very soon. | cannot 40 otherWlse tIdh
vote as my conscience dictates, and ] be-
lieve this man IS innocent OF the charges
brought against him.
Senator Tillman expressed the hope that
r..
his life to the publication of politics In
Chicago, and to the uplft Of his feiio"
citizens in Illinois, and added:
believe if he does brayely fight. for
q purer and better government IN ILLINOIS,
Cod will strengthen his arm, and he VIII
return TO the Senate vindicated by the
people of that great state.
Terms Of the Resolution.
The vote was then taken on the Lea
resolution. which read as follows:
Resolved That corrupt methods and
practices were employed In the election OF
William Lorimer to the Senate OF the
United States, from the State OF Illinois,
and that his election was therefore invalid.
BY the adoption Of this resolution Mr..
Lorimer passes out OF the records of the
Senate and has never officially held seat
in that body.
AS the result Of the rollcall was an
nounced. Mr. Lorimer rose wearly from his
seat and passed back to a cloakroom door.
Senator's and members Of the House gath
cred about him. grasping his hand and pat
ting him on the back.
Outside the Senate door. as Mr.. Lorimer
| stepped into the corridor, friends greeted
him again, and a party Of Sisters OF Char

| expulsion.
At his Office ir 'he Senate Office building

aid to the man. who was thoroughly ex-
