FIGHTS AGAIN
FOR HIS SEAT
Senate Hears Pleas for and
Against Illinois
Senator
VOTE MAY COME
LATE NEXT WEEK
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, July 6-Immedi-
ately after PRAYER was completed in
the senate this morning, Senator VIII
liam Lorimer again faced battle
over his right to a seat as senator.
Victory will be a repetition of his
winning on March /. 1911, when the
senate voted AS to 40 to retain him as
member. Defeat will mean that in
the Judgment of a majority of sena-
tors. the blonde boss" acquired his
seat in the senate by corrupt
methods and practices" With that
great condemnation, in the event he
loses, he will be driven back to pri-
vate life in Chicago.
Such a case, involving as II does
the standing OF a member is a ques-
tion of the highest privilege In the
senate. on June 8. 1912, the upper
house. by unanimous consent decided
to take up the reports Of the Lorimer
investigating committee on the legis-
lative day Of July-6.
A legislative day. in senatorial ne
ton. may run for any number OF cal
endar days but until the final vote
+hat will decide the fate Of Lorimer
for good or i'll is taken, no otneI
question can be taken up by 'he
Senate.
Great changes have taken place IN
the membership Of the Senate since
Lorimer won his fight in 1911. Man,
of the stand-patters, from whom hi
strength was mainly recruited, hav!
heen retired TO private life. The'
have been succeeded by younge
class of Senators, to whom histori
senatorial courtesy" is not fet
ish.
Polls taken and generally accepte'
as being accurate. hold no nope 10
Lorimer. That view was so stroni
that Vice President Sherman mad
a special trip to Chicago severa
months ago for the purpose OF ad
vising Lorimer to resign. The argu
ments in favor of his retirement wer
that he could avert what appeared Z
be certain defeat. and. moreover, sav
| Senatorial friends embarrassment b
not requiring them to line up 10
him again. Many of the Senators VIII
voted for Lorimer in 1911 we're re
tired solely because of that vote
Polls recently taken show not les
than so Senators are against tn
blonde boss" and not more than 4
in his favor. A majority in the Sen
ate is As.
There Is no possible gauge b.
which the time of the final vote ma,
be even approximated. A number o
Senators today said 1t might com
next week. but the general impression
was that It would be much later.
Lorimer was elected United State
Senator on May 26. 1909, following
long deadlock in the Illinois legisls
ture. A coalition of Republican an
Democratic forces accomplished hi
election. A year later several mem
bers of that legislature signed con
fessions alleging that they had beei
paid for their votes. Later charge
were of a "slush fund to put Lori
mer over" to which big corporation
were invited TO contribute.
In all the various investigations {
date Lorimerites have vigorously dc
MED any corrupt practices in tn
Senatorial election.

Fashion has finished with the hobble

ULIMTI IL
GROUNDS WHILE
AVOIDING CRASH

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The great
White Star liner Olympic went
aground in the upper bay near Ellis
Island this afternoon when forced to
change her course to avoid running
down the steam yacht Viking.
The liner grounded at flood tide,
but was not in a dangerous position.
The bottom where the Olympic struck
is mud and not rock. Tugs we're sent
to her assistance and an effort made
10 haul her back into the chanel. I'm
less the big liner is fioated within a
short time it will probably be impos-
sible to get her off until the next
flood tide which will be at midnight
Because she grounded at high tide
there was a distinct possibility that
part of her cargo might have to be
lightered before she could be fioated.

GUARDS DOUBLED.
AT TOMB OF ASTOR

NEW YORK, July 6.-Friends OF
John Jacob Astor are concerned over
the fact that guards at his tomb IN
Trinity cemetery have been doubled.
The body of Colonel Astor was
brought to this city on May after
the funeral services in the Church oil
the Messiah at Rhinebeck. The sep
ulture took place in Trinity cemetery,
Amsterdam avenue and One Hundred
and Fifty-fourth street. The casket
was placed in a niche in the family
vault, beside the casket of his mother
and above that OF his father
Two men have guarded 1t night
and day. the same size of guard that
had watched the tomb since It was
built. But within a few days four
men have been detailed to protect the
place. and no explanation has been
vouchsafed as to the reason for the
increased precaution.
Few outside of the intimate triends
of the Astor family have been aware
that for two score years or more II
has been their custom to guard the
graves of their dead. II was inaugu-
rated by the great-grandfather of the
present head of the house. The then
John Jacob Astor had been painfully
impressed by the incidents surround
ing the stealing of the body OF A.
T. Stewart
The real vocation of the men en-
ployed has been concealed by theiI
designation as gardeners and not as
guards. To make plausible their pres
ence about the family vault, the plot
on which it Is located is planted witt
many shrubs and makes one OF the
most beautiful floral displays in the
cemetery.

FRIGATE CONSTELLATION
IN DANGER OF ROTTING

WASHINGTON, July 6-The frigate
Constellation, Truxton's gallant old
ship, which cleared the Atlantic of
French privateers and struck the
colors of many a hostile craft in the
war of 1912, lies of Newport, with
bottom arot. Many patriotic societies
are pressing the Navy Department 10
see to it that she is preserved.
While there is a strong sentiment
IN the navy for the preservation of
the famous old ship, which first won
respect for the flag on the high seas,
Congress has been reluctant to ap-
propriate for it,
The famous Constitution-"Old
Ironsides' to a loving nation-was
saved from an ignominious end only
after the genius of Oliver Wendell
Holmes had immortalized her name
in verse.
Unless 2 patriotic public sentiment
demands her preservation, the once
magnificent old Constellation will be-
come rotting wreck Of old timbe-s
and mess.

DN Inc OHlleO GIcSS.
SEA GIRT. N. j., July 6.--That the
tariff is the one issue that will over
shadow all others in the coming cam
paign was the positive declaration
made by Governor Wilson today.
Undoubtedly the tariff is the chief
object of interest to the people of the
United States" said the Democratic
presidential candidate. 'It is inter
laced with every other issue. In fact
it is at the very heart of every other
question. A great many, in fact,
nearly all of the trust questions have
their origin in the tariff. Just as sure
as you start from the center of the
tariff question you arrive at the
trusts
Governor Wilson seemed greatly
interested in the Roosevelt state
ments regarding the tariff and the
trusts. When asked whether he in
tended replying to Roosevelt's de-
rlaraticns. the governor smiled AMI
said: Il have not made up my cam
paign plans yet and will not do so
until after the meeting of the Ma
tional Committee in Chicago on July
IS. That will be one of the ques-
lions that will be taken up by the
committee"
Governor Wilson took occasion to-
day to comment on the question OF
campaign contributions. He has
made it plain that he will carefully
scrutinize all contributions made to
the Democratic campaign fund and
today said that money is already
coming in unsolicited from various
parts of the United States.
I have received a dozen contribu-
TONS" he said, (which ranged in
amounts from five dollars to one
hundred. They came entirely un-
solicited. my idea of the way cam
paign funds should come and from
men who had the interests of the
party only at heart"
Governor Wilson's attention was
called to the declaration Of Senator
O'Gorman. of New York, that he be
lieved that Wilson and Marshall vii
have the unanimous vote Of the cleo
toral college.
Such a result would be most ex
traordinary." he said. But we mus
not lull ourselves to sleep with the
belief that we have an easy victory
ahead"
