FINDS NEW LORlMER LEAD.
Detective Burns Has Evidence Wit
ness Was Eribed,

Washington.-When the senate COM
mittee inquiring into the election of
Senator William Lorimer of Illinois
resumes it's session the allegation will
be made that Charles MCGOWAN
contractor living at Regina, Canada,
had received $1,000 for his testimony
in behalf of the senator.
Mr.. MCGOWAN appeared before the
committee on July Is, last, and testi-
fed that he was passenger on
train running from Duluth to Virginia,
MINI. On the same train were G. F.
Wiehe and Edward Hines. 1t was on
this train that Wiehe, brother-in-law
of Hines, is supposed to have said that
a Jackpot" fund of 100000 had been
subscribed by the friends of Senator
Lorimer to buy his election to the
senate.
For over three months representa-
tives of William J. Burns, the de-
tective, were employed to gather in
formation bearing on the Lorimer
case. They were acting under the di-
rection of J. J. Healy, the special coun-
sci employed by the senate commit
tee.
During this time the detectives Sc
cured photographic confession from
MCGOWAN, which recorded that he had
been paid by the Lorimer people to
refute the testimony Of c. F. Wiehe.

bill of health, generating him from
almost all of the accusations laid
against him.
The Republican members of the COM

making the report unanimous.
There is no politics in the report"
said Chairman Moss. This fact, to-
gether with compromises on some of
the matters about which the members
had differences of view, permitted
full agreement"
in the course of the hearings DR..
Wiley told how most of his rulings
were arbitrarily oyerruled. that there
were few cases of drug law violations
prepared because many lines of in
quiry were taken out of his hands and
turned over to the Remsen referee
board for investigation
He said his hands were thus "abso-
lutely paralyzed."
DR.. Wiley told the committee five
months ago that he had found it use
less to appeal to Secretary Wilson,
and that he had practically surren-
dered" his authority for enforcing the
pure food law to Messrs. McCabe and
Dunlap.
