Senator Gallinger.
"Aye,' was the response from Sena-

against Lorimer,
The rollcall proceeded. One by one
the senators answered their names and
nearly every one was q vote for Lori
mer's expulsion. Lorimer heard them
all without a change of expression.
Cullom Votes Aye.
When the name of Senator Cullom,
his colleague, was reached. fourteen
had already voted against Lorimer and
only seven had stood by him. One of
those who voted against him, Senator
Culberson, afterward withdrew his
vote, explaining that he was paired
with Senator Du Pont.
fSenator Cullom,' called the clerk.
"Aye,' said Senator Cullom broken
ly. He cleared his throat and repeated
"aye' firmly and loudly.
Lorimer shifted his position slightly,
By no other sign did he give evidence
Of the blow. The clerk finished calling
the roll. Then he read off the names
of the senators who had voted for the

Senator Lorimer did not vote.
There are ninety-five members in the
senate. there being one vacancy from
Colorado.
That was all. There was no cere.
mony, no formality. Nothing more than
vote. The hands Of the clock pointed
to 2:02. Lorimer, plainly dazed and
uncertain, sat heavily in his chair,
Broken Man Walks Out.
All eyes were turned on the man,
There was a moments silence, just
long enough for the full import Of the
presiding officers announcement to
impress itself on his exhausted brain.
Then Lorlmer arose. He brought his
legs together, reached out and grasped
the sides Of the desk-"hi desk" it
had been-and slowly raised himself to
his feet.
Without glancing around he moved
toward the Republican cloak room As
he drew near the door, Congressman
Rodenberg of Illinois, who had been
standing back Of the desks, met him.
Lorimer smiled. Rodenberg put his
arm around Lorimer's shoulder and
half supported him to the cloak room.
Other senators came forward and
stopped Lorimer in the doorway: There
were Senators Dillingham; and Gamble,
both members Of the committee which
Senator Fletcher, another member OF
the committee, pushed forward and
took his hand. So did Senator John"
ston of Alabama. Congressman William
W. Wilson Of Illinois Joined the group.
They pushed open the door of the cloak
room and Lorimer passed In, His en-
trance into that room was his passing
from the senate.
Snatched from his seat, his election
declared invalid, it meant that he had
never been legally a member OF the
United States senate. He had no right
in the senate chamber. He cannot take
advantage OF the privilege enjoyed by
former members of the senate and en-
ter il again.
Business Proceeds.
As Lorimer stepped into the cloak
room, the chief clerk of the house en-,
tered the senate chamber. He was
recognized by the presiding officer.
'fI am directed by the speaker of the
house Of representatives, he said in
measured tones, "to communicate to
the senate the following resolutions:
" Resolved, That this house has i'm
peached Robert W. Archibald, Judge of
the circuit court, now sitting on the
United States commerce court.
And the business of the senate went
on.
Through tho swinging doors Of the
cloak room one could see the group
within gathered about Lorimer Sew
eral of the senators had handkerchiefs
to their eyes. From the cloak room
Lorimer passed on into the corridor.
