MANY SENATORS ACCUSED.
Lorimer Not the First to Have to
Defend His Title.

Washington, D. G., July 19.-Since
William Blount, of Tennessee, was ex-
PEELED from the Senate in July, 1897
for conspiracy against the Government
in attempting to bring together certain
Indians and the British agents, many
Senators of the United States have beer
called on to defend their titles to theil
seats.
The most notable recent case was that
of John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, who
on June II, 1905, arose in the Senate
and addressed himself to the charges
made against him that in 1902 he had
conspired with Binger Hermann, Com.
missioner of the Land Office, to defraud
the Government of public lands.
Before the case came to vote Mitch.
ell resigned. He was indicted by the
Federal grand jury, convicted and sent
to the penitentiary.
William A. Clark, of Montana, was
elected to the Senate as Democrat in
December, 1899, to succeed Lee Mantle,
Republican. An investigation was or
dered and the committee reported ad-
versely on Mr.. Clark's right to retain
his seat. Before this resolution was
acted upon, Senator Clark on May 10,
1900, announced that he had resigned.
Joseph r. Burton, of Kansas, who
was convicted in the State courts for
using the mails for fraudulent purposes
and receiving pension for services rem
dered before department of the Gov
eminent. Burton resigned to the Gov
ernor on June before the Senate had
acted.
John Smith, Senator from Ohio,
won out blythe narrow margin of one
vote in 1907, when threatened with ex-
pulsion for reasonable conspiracy.
John G. Breckenridge and other South
ern Senators were summarily expelled
in 1861 for having 'cdpspired'' against
the Government Of the United States
and borne arms against them. During
the war resolutions of expulsion were
drawn up against various Senator'S for
giving encouragement 70 the Confed-
eracy, included among these being Jesse
D. Bright; Trusten Polk and Garrett
Davis, Of Kentucky
The case Of Alexander CaldFell, 81
Kansas, Of the Forty-second q gsess,
was similar to the Lorimef q
vas charged that his election aaint.
