Noted Detective Will be Called Be-

This Week.
WORKED FOR SENATE PROBE
Investigators Employed Sleuth, But
Had to Quit Because Of
Expense.

washington, Jan. 90 0Develop-
ments, more or less sensational,
about to take place In the Lorimer
case will disclose that William j,
Burns, the detective, who built up
the evidence around the Mcnamara
dynamiters. has been at work for at
least three months gathering evi-
dence to be presented, next week, to
the committee investigating Lori
mers election
Detective Burns was employed for
about month by the Senate COM
mittce and later was engaged by the
interests fighting to unseat Mr.. Lori
mer. The committee dispensed with
his services because of the almost
prohibitive cost.
Seek to Impeach Witness.
The end sought, by the anti-Lori-
mer interests is the Impeachment of
certain witness, who gave evil
dence in Lorimer's defense relating
to the alleged statement of G.. F.
Wiehe, brother-in-law of Edward
Hines, that Jackpot fund OF $780,
90 was used to put Lorimer over. +"
Burns evidence affects, solely, the
lveracity of witness called by the
defense. This new evidence will be
laid before the committee after the
cross-examination of Lorimer is
finished next week.

The rise in the Ohio river prob
ably will save the Illinois Central
transfer boat W. B. Duncan, which
went aground at Metropolis Thurs
day night. Since that time the boat
has been high and dry.
The Duncan, which formerly was
used at Cairo, ran onto the bank
: while loaded with two passenger
coaches and baggage car. She was
attempting landing when the ac-
cident occurred.
The wind. of Thursday night, is
held responsible for the accident.
The Duncan, with her load, was try
ing to get to the cradles, when she
jammed against the bank. The fall
in the river left her high and dry
and standing at slight angle. The
passengers were landed without ac-
eident.
At first IL was feared the boat
would be shaken to pieces, but the
rise of 1 foot, yesterday, is expected
to save her.
