SUSTAIN SENATOR'S TITLE TO

o. K. RES ADJUDICATA PLEA
Minority Members Declare That Ten

Washington, May Ex-senator Lor-

members of the senatorial committee
which investigated his election was
written into the official records of the
United States senate.
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the
committee, presented the report,

81 printed pages, detailing at length
the evidence upon which the commit

Three members of the committee
Senators Lea, Kenyon and Kern-later
presented a minority report, opposing
the views of the majority and insist
ing that corruption had been proved.
They presented resolution declaring
Senator Lorimer's election invalid and
his seat vacant.
The minority report holds that Mr..
Lorimer's election was obtained by
fraud and improper use of money. 1t
is declared that ten of the votes cast
for Mr.. Lorimer we're obtained by cor
rupt methods and that Edward Hines,
the millionaire Chicago lumber man.
was influential in putting Lorimer
over"
The statement of the minority mem
bers is particularly sharp in it's denun-
citation Of the methods Used in Mr..
Lorimer's election. According to these
senators the testimony taken by the
committee establishes Mr.. Hines as
"one who looked upon everything and
everybody as being purchasable, the
only question of doubt in his mind be-
ing the amount of money necessary to
purchase this or that person"
The majority report sustains the
pl ga OF res adjudicata, which is in eff
feet that the case, having once been
decided by the senate, cannot again
be brought into issue upon the same
evidence. In this connection it is
strongly pointed out that the claim Of
newly discovered evidence was not
substantiated

SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER.


The story from Philadelphia that a
man of that city has discovered sub
stitute for rubber which he manufac.
lures from various kinds of waste will
be accepted with a grain of salt until
the facts he claims are fully estab-
lished. 1t has long been the dream of
chemists that substance which would
take the place of rubber in many of
the forms in which it is used would
ultimately be discovered, but. like the
famous passage to Cathay in the time
OF Columbus, the result has eluded
pursuit. 1t may be put down as fact
that some time, somewhere, such a
substitute will be found, says the
Washington Herald 1t may not have
all the qualities of rubber, which seems
to have been a special gift of Provi
dence to mankind, Of value impos
sible of replacement or counterfeit
But the uses of rubber have extended
SO enormously, and the supply is 50

would, under proper condition. take
its place. Until now no such product
