WILLIAM LOR|MER IS GOING BACK ID WORK
His Longest Comment On Case Is, T Was Disap-
 pointed"
G9S W7E2

Washington. July 1i.-"w-illlam Lori nier is going back te caicfiso and going to work. '
 That was the brief announcement made today in behalf of the man whom the Senate stripped of his seat and title as junior Senator from the sovereign state of Illinois.
 Whether he will re-enter politics and seek a vindieation at tho hands of the Illinois electorate, MT. Lorimer has not decided. Ina. his friends say. is at least two years away.
 MT. Lorimer was out automobiling to- day. far from careworn.
 Since the fight for his seat became most active MT. Lorimer has been living at a downtown hotel, having given up his quarters in the Y. M. C. A. He will remain there until probably the end of the week, when he will leave for Chi cago Any political move he may make probably will be determined only after conference with Elbridge Hancey, the Chicago lawyer, who has been his de- fender throughout the attacks upon him.
 Lorimer takes the view that he may ask to have his case re-opened on the ground of newly discovered evidence at any time he wishes. He feels that the Senate in re-opening his case after 1t had once declared his title valid estab- lished precedent it cannot ignore. Since he walked out of the Senate cham Der yesterday he has barely mentioned his case.
 It is said that Lormer's longest com ment on the outcome of his fight was made when his colleague, the venerable Shelby M. Cullom, turned and voted for his unseating. Some one mentioned Gull lom's vote and Lorimer remarked:
 T was disappointed.

 There is no charge against General Orozco or his family on the American side of the line, but apprehension that an extradition may be trumped up on technical grounds has kept the male

SUPPLY OF COTTON GOODS STAPLES SMALL

New York, July 1.-The supply of sta pies in cotton goods available for prompt dc livery is not large as usual at this season of the year, owing 10 restricted production due to scarcity of labor and 10 the well sold position of many leading mills on contracts. Demand for goods has been about normal and this has been sufficient together with the hardening of cotton values to cause general stiffenins tn prices.

Ledge Engaged Detectives

When the news of the mysterious deaths of Colema and Strickland became known. the Alabama city was thrown into Il tur- moil of excitement. For several weeks It proved to be the sensation of the hour, and although various clues were fol- lowed by the county and the city police the identity of those responsible for the gruesome affair never became known, The lodge to which they belonged en- gagged the services of private detectives, and after dillgent work the sleuths were enabled to uncover evidence leading them to suspect ola Gunters.
 Ola Gunters was at that time an inmate of house kept by Ida Smith. and her exceptional beauty and charming manner made her very popular A particular friends of hers, a young man employed as an apothecary's apprentice in one of the leading drug stores, Is said to have kept her posted on the movements Of the officials. All through the storm that was aroused by the deaths of Coleman and Strickland she remained in the house ot Ida Smith, and was never seen upon the streets

Misled the Detectives

The detectives employed by the lodge
 had no positive evidence against the
 woman, and her attitude in remaining in
 Birmingham misled them completely. One
 of the detectives decided one night to
 make play calculated to cause the girl
 to change her tactics, so securing a good
 likeness of the woman, he went to the
 drug store where her young friend was
 employed, and began to question him as to whether or not he could identify the original This aroused the young fel- lows interest. and after awhile the de- l tective informed him that he was de- sirous of finding the girl and then left l the drug store.
 | Just as soon as he had taken his de- l parture confederate noted that the young fellow immediately dispatched | friend to the abode of Ola Gunters, and l late that night the girl left the city. | For a time her whereabouts was
 mystery, but she was finally located in house in Meridian Nils. From there she went to Atlanta. Ga, and from that city | she came to New Orleans. During her I travels from one city to the other she as- stunned several aliases, one of them being l Kitty Douglas, and another Mrs. Miller. l During all her travels her movements were closely watched, and 1t was final l y decided to arrest her last Saturday in | Jacksonville, Fla
