in the Senate
THE TRIBUNE

Washington, Jan. 12.-Senator Lori
mer's testimony before the senate in
vestigation committee was continued
today.
Mr.. Lorimer related his experiences
in politics since 1886 with the intent
to give evidence of what he says has
always been the constant opposition
of certain Chicago newspapers TO any
thing with which he was connected.
It seems certain that the senator's
testimony will take much longer than
at first estimated. Elbridge Hanecy,
his counsel is leading him through a
recital of consecutive events which
date back IS years and have certain
political significance. The factionai
fights in Illinois are told in detail. It
is the contention of Senator Lorimer's
defense that the political history of the
Republican party in the state will
show that Mr.. Lorimer was the only
Republican who could have been elect
ed to the senate by the legislature in
1909.
Mr.. Lorimer testified that his only
expenses in his campaign for senator
were travelling and hotel bills

Hines claimed to have spent at SPRING

Senator Loriner told of other meet
ings with Hines but questioning cid
not esta bIiSh that Hines had contrib
uted to any fund of which Lorimer had
knowledge. The International Harves-
ter company's alleged opposition to
Senator Lorimer was brought up early
today and was discussed at length.
Mr. I.oriuer related his opposition to
4 plan which the company favored to
build a fixed bridge across the west fork
of the south branch of the Chicago
river.
IF that stream had been blocked by
a fixed bridge the harvester company's
railroad would have had a monopoly
on al tae freight which originated in
the immense factory district above that
point. l opposed that and blocked 1t,
