CORES ALLEGATIONS
Assistant Doorkeeper Declares
He Did Not Have Lorimer
F.. Paper in Possession.

, The investigation into the charges of
Senator Gore that Carl A. Loeffler. an
assistant doorkeeper of the Senate, was
responsible for the disappearance of the
Holtslaw certificate of deposit in the
first Lorimer trial was begun by the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections yesterday.
Not until the committee has been re-
organized by the Democrats will the in
vestigation be resumed.
Loeffler denied having had the deposit
slip in his possession, and told a
straightforward story. On the other
hand. William Harrison. formerly page
now in charge of the Senate telephone
service, who related the story to Sena-
tor Gore in the first place, insisted thar
Loeffler took the deposit slip from him
and disappeared through the door with
IL Harrison, who is boy of fourteen,

toned. He was accompanied by ms
mother, a widow employed in the War
Department
Thinks Slip Was Mislaid.
The grilling of Harrison indicated
that the members of the committee did
not believe Loeffler, took the deposit
slip. Loeffler admitted he probably took
some other documents from the pages
that day, but thought the deposit slip
was mislaid and PROBABLY swept out
among the waste paper.
Mrs. Harrison. mother of the boy. said
when her son first told the story to her
she admonished him to keep quiet ana
was impatient when he told her he had
related the facts TO Senator Gore.

She aroused laughter when she said
that Thursday night. after calling up
Senator Gore over the phone, she read

then fell asleep.

on you" remarked Senator Bradley OF

Along with the increased demand the
price of talent went up and the result
was that more high-priced players came
under the big tent in few months than
had come into the league III several
years before.

This step will be taken to forestall
the defense that a small amount of
the poison might accidentally have
