LOR|MER CASE
ENDS At LAST
Committee Closes the Public
Hearings.
INDULGE IN LOVE FEAST
Attorney Haneey Files Brief To the
Effect That Election Had Been
Adjudicated and That a Second
inquiry Was Not Necessary.
Copyright. 1919. J

Washington.-Pub hearings in the
second senatorial investigation into
the election of Senator Lorimer were
declared closed by Chairman Dilling-
ham, of the Senate Lorimer Commit
tee Attorney Fancy, representing
Senator Lorimer, was given permits
sion to file a brief to the effect that
the Senator's election had been ad-
Indicated before the present investi-
CATION began and therefore that it
could not be the subject O. a second
investigation.
The inquiry has proved to be one of
the most exhaustive ever made by a
congressional committee. In the eight
months hearing about 10000 pages of
printed testimony were taken, con-
shutting about 100000 words. 1t is
estimated that the stenographers' fees
alone reached $4,000.
The closing hour of the hearing was
veritable love-feast. The attorneys
explained that they had never intend
ed really to display temper and the
duutA lldt IL AdI NV CAA7
tertained like intentions. NJ. w.
Blumenberg, the official stenographer,
who was discharged for his conduct
before the committee Saturday night,
wrote a letter of profuse apology,
which was read into the records.
Edward Hines was the last witness
called He denied he had attempted
to bride Miss Helen Seavers, local
telegraph operator, to see message a
private detective in the case had just
sent. After his testimony the com
mittee decided at an executive session
not to inquire further into an al
legged combination against Senator
Lorimer as a result of the Chicago
River improvement, or other matters
which the committee deemed, after
hearing witnesses, did not bear upon
the issue.
The early hours of the session were
marked by tests of the ability of ]. E.
Sheridan. of a detective agency, TO
make a shorthand report of a CONVEX
sation, such as he swore he made
when Charles MCGOWAN was alleged
to have admitted receiving money for
"periuring" himself before the COM
mittee.

AS the youngest, possibly, of this
remarkable group of swiftly made men

come in for perhaps more attention

Carnegie group of millionaires, men

fortunes have been made in the same
quick manner. The career OF Schwab
has been almost meteoric.
FThese are perhaps the most con-
spicuous figures in the group of new
men of great fortunes in this country.
1t is a group that is younger than the
men with fortune made from oil and
the railroad development of a quarter
of century ago. twenty-five years

small beginnings of a fortune Al
