LoRIMER Is oUSTED
Seat in Senate Declared Vacant BY
Vote Of SIS to %

Washington, July 15.-Overturning
the majority of it's own committee.
and reversing its vote of March /.
1911, the Senate Saturday took away
from William Lorimer his seat as
junior senator from Illinois, by a
vote of 55 to 20. A member Of the
Senate since June IS, 1909, Mr.. Lor-
inner, was declared to have been the
recipient of votes secured by cor
rupt methods and practices" and his
election was held to have been in
valid
Technically Mr. Lorimer will pass
out of the records of the Senate as
a member of that body, notwithstand-
ing his more than three years occu-
pancy of his seat. Facing his asso-
ciates with the declaration: Il am
ready" Mr.. Lorimer sat in the cham
Der and heard his fate decreed as the
roll call showed the adoption Of the
resolution of Senator Luke Lea of
Tennessee, the Senate's youngest
member.
The man who for three days had
held the Senate to close attention
with his remarkable speech OF de-
tense and attack upon his enemies,
rose YEARLY from his seat and pass
cd back to a cloakroom door. Sena
tors and members OF the House gath
cred about him, grasping his hand
and patting him on the back. At his
office. later, when a physician had at
tended him, he said he would not
leave Washington before the first of
next week.
The outcome of the vote was not
surprise; but the leaders of the
fight against him had not estimated
a greater vote than SO to 35.
Lorimer's fight for his own official
life began in the Senate chamber ear
ly Thursday afternoon. When he con-
cluded his eloquent declaration that
he was not a coward, and would not
run in the face of certain defeat" be
had held the floor for twelve hours
with intermissions and recesses TO
restore his strength.
The moving character OF Lorimer's
appeal was admitted on every hand,
but apparently swayed no votes.
1T has been suggested that l re-
sign" he said in his closing declara-
ton. He who is so cowardly to
run because defeat stares him in
the face has no place in this body.
Though you all vote to turn me out:
though every vote has been canvass
ed and is against me I will not re-
sign. My exit from this body will
not be from fear; Il will not be be-
cause | am a coward. IL will be be-
cause Of the crime Of the Senate OF
the United States"

JEFFERsoNIANs WERE EASY
Hucklebery Boys Dispose of Science
tady Team by Score of 8 to l

Saturdays game at Morgan park in
which Bennington defeated the JEFF
fersonians of Schenectady by a score
OF to /, was a forceful demonstra-
ton of the progress that has been
made here in base ball. There was
time when the Jeffersonians were
able to win some of the games play
ed with Bennington and on every oc-
caslon when the two teams came to-
gether the scores were small and
the contests were close and interest
ing. Saturday the game was too one
sided to be interesting and the home
team was not playing in its usual
form at that.
The infield work of the Science
tady boys was ragged Had the big
pitcher, Lefevre, been given the kind
OF support that figures in the Berk-
shire league these days there would
have been some real baseball In the
game. Bennington found him for
only six singles and a double but
the Schenectady infield mixed boots
and wild heaves with the hits of the
home. team and the result was dis
couraging.
Peloquin who was on the mound
Tor Bennington, did not have a big
afternoons work cut out for him but
he turned in a good time card. The
first two "Jeffs" at bat each made
a hit. The other three safe ones
came one inning apart in the last
three periods of the game. But for
wild throw by Brill in the first
inning Peloquin would have had a
shutout game to his credit.
While the game lacked interest be-
cause the "Jeffs" were so hopelessly
outclassed, there were a number Of
brilliant plays. Shaw, the Schenec.
tady thirdbaseman made a stop and
throw OF. the big league order Prin-
die caught a low fly off his shoe
strings in left field and Carolan stop
ped and held one wide throw that
was licensed to get away from any
first sacker. Carolan's all-round
work was especially good. The in
fielders handled the ball badly all
through the game and he went down
into the dirt and up in the air on
several occasions to stop bad throws.
