SHAKE IN CHURCH SALE.

Declare Illinois Senator Entitled To His Seat. Minority Reports His Election Due To Bribery. Contends Ten Legislative Votes Were EDWARD HINES IS SCORED Washington, May 20. The second struggle over the retention of William Lorimcr, of Illinois, in the United States Senate may be precipitated at any time from now on until final adjournment. The issues weri drawn to-day in the majority and minority reports of the special investigating committee.

Senator Lea. for the minority, introduced a resolution declaring that corrupt practices were employed in L.orimer's election, and that his election, therefore, was invalid. This resolution will be called lip later when Senator Kern, of Indiana, probably will open the debate for the minority. Senators Kenyon, of Iowa, and I-ea, of Tennessee, tne other two minority members of the committee will speak. The resolution followed the submission to-day of the reports.

The majority, headed by Senator DHlinR-ham. of Vermont, chairman of the com: mlttee. stood by the Senate's previous judgment in favor of I-orimer, declaring that no vote had been secured for him by bribery. The minority, contended that at least ten votes for him in the Illinois Legislature were corrupt, scored Edward Hines, of Chicago, and attacked the majority's support of the plea of "lies adjudlcata," saying that it was inconceivable that the majority members, "all of them distinguished lawyers," would have proceeded with the investigation without right or Majority Report. Whv Senator Lorlmer should be permitted to retain his seat In the Senate was set forth to-day by the majority of the Senate Special Lorlmer Committee in their report to the Senate.

It was submitted by Chairman Dillingham and had the approval of Senators Gamble and Jones, Republicans, and Fletcher and Johnston, ot Alabama, Democrats. The majority took the position that the Senate having once "solemnly and deliberately" passed upon the charges against Senator Lorimcr, he should be permitted to retain his seat unless new and convincing evidence had been produced establishing corruption In his Absolutely no -new and substantial evidence" had been produced at the reinvestigation, the majority said, and consequently they declared the rules of justice required the former judgment of the Senate, upholding Mr. Lorimer. to stand. The report dealt at length with the evidence in an endeavor to snow-nothing substantial had been produced against Senator Lorlmer.

It also reviewed the legal authorities to show-that the first Investigation of the Senate should be taken as final. The controlling factor in the action of the Senate In reopening the case, so the majority said. was reports that a fund of SlOOiOOO was either raised by or through the efforts of Edward Hines. the Chicago lumber man, to secure the election ot Senator Lorimer. Refuse Punk's Version.

The majority rejected the version Clarence S. Funk, general manager of thu International Harvester Company. ave of a conversation held with Mr. Hines in the- Union League Club at Chicago.5 just after Senator Lorimer election. It was during this convert sation that Funk claims Hines asked for a $10,000 contribution to a Lorimer fund.

The majority said Mr. Funk's testimony stood uncorroborated, either by other witnesses or by any circumstances. "In view of the fact that it was known to Mr. Hines," said the com-mittt'O, "that the relations existing between the officers of the International Harvester Company and Mr. Lorimer were those of opponents rather than friends, it Is improbable that he would seek from Mr.

Funk, the representative of that corporation, a contribution to aid in the election of Lorimer- and it is inconceivable that Mr. Hlut-s. if guilty of an infamous crime, would have unreservedly revealed It under the circumstances described by Mr. Funk, and In any case, to a person with whom he had so slight an acquaintance, and at a time when the election was so fresh in the minds of the public. And particularly when it appears that at no previous time, not even at that time, did Hines know whom Mr.

Funk preferred for a United States Senator." a Funk Discredited. In discussing Mr. Funk's testimony that he had heard reports of Mr. Mines' activities at Springfield, the joritv declared that "such 'reports' must have had birth In Mr. Funk's imagination."

Report. The minority reported that the evidence presented at the second investigation was "broader and more far reaching" than the previous inquiry brought out, and that it conclusively established that at least ten of the votes cast for Lorlmer were corrupt and that his election therefore was invalid. The minority report was signed by Senitors Kern and Lea, Democrats, and Ivenyon, Kepublican. The minority in its conclusions arraigned the course of Kdward Hines during the grand jury investigations and during the committee's investigation, and declared their belief that he "was an accessory to the corruption which resulted in the election of AVilliam Lorimer to the Senate." "We believe the testimony of Clarence Funk and W. M.

Burgess to be true," they stated. "This conclusion is strengthened by consideration of Kdward Hines' actions during the grand jury investigation, when he tried to get O'Brien and Cook out of the jurisdiction of the grand jury, and bv his suspicious and questionable transactions during this investigation, and we believe that Hines was an accessory to the corruption which resulted in the election of Lorlmer. Believe Election Corrupt. "Believing tlrat the concessions of the members of the Legislature, strengthened by corroborating circumstances and by other evidence relating to the members the Legislature who did not confess, establish conclusively, not only that at least ten votes were purchased for the purpose of electing William Lorimer to the Senate, but that the record reeks and teems with evidence of a general scheme corruption, we have no hesitancy In stating that the Investigation establishes beyond contradiction that the election of William Lorlmer was obtained by corrupt means and was therefore invalid, and we submit the following resolution: "llesolved, That corrupt methods and practices, were employed in the election William Lorimer to the Senate of the United States from the State of Illinois and that his election therefore was invalid." Attack Majority's Contention. The minority pointed out that the anal- liat has bcen drawn between the i r.

trial 01 an ciclcjou i use uy ine ncntiie and a criminal trial in court is most mis. leading, and that the Senate is not bound any precedents. Attacking the majority's contention as to the doctrine of res ad judicata, the minority declared there was no Senate precedent holding that a contested election case might not be reopened. It was inconceivable, declared the minority, that the majority members of the investigating committee would have sanctioned the expense involved In this reinvestigation If they believed that neither the committee nor the Senate could consider the result oT their labor and the product of the investigation at such an eiurmous cost, "no matter what new and important evidence might have been developed thereby." "In this case," they said, "there are confessions by four men chat their votes were secured by bribery and their confessions are corroborated by strong circumstantial evidence. Name Alleged Corrupt Votes.

"If bribery cannot be proved In the Senate by confessions of the bribe takers, eorrobonued by strong circumstantial evidence, then the conclusion is irresistible that only express contracts of bribery, duly authenticated by witnesses, can establish that crime to the satisfaction of the of the United Sta-tes. "We are of the opinion," u-eclared the minority, "tnat the evidence in this investigation shows conclusively that the following votes for William Lorlmer were obtained by corrupt methods.

The minor, ty announced as an important fac: that it wii developed tnat no third degree or improper meihodis were used by the Cook county grand jury In examining memoirs ot the Legislature, and that no witnesses were terrorized into g.ving testimony that was false. "In view of racts, suliieient votes having been corrupted," says the minority, "it Is not necessary for us to show either Senator Lorimer's connection with, or guilty knowledge of the corruption, nor it neeessary for us to trace the source of the corruption "Senator to rimer's ivad wa-s the guiding torce in snapiug the action of the i-e-gisUttire of Illinois in i909.

Officers of the Reform School are making every effort to recapture Walter Hoss-am, who escaped for the second time from that Institution a few days ago. Hossam's home Is at Ashland, from which place ha was sent for robbing a man named Brown. Hossam escaped from the school soma time last winter, and In endeavoring to reach his home had his feet frozen. He was later recaptured and returned to the institution, but succeeded In escaping again. Corn Being Planted.

The dry weather of the last few days has been of immense service to the farmers in the Bluegrass region in giving them an opportunity to finish planting their corn, which has been much retarded by the late spring and frequent rains. Although the wet weather of last week stopped corn planting it made conditions ideal for planting tobacco, and the novelty is presented on many farms of the tobacco crop being planted before corn. If the warm temperature of the last few days should continue during the week the corn and tobacco wili make rapid growth, as will all other crops and vegetables as well. Industrial Home Fund.

Funk's version, and none saw fit to bring the information to the attention of any person connected with any investigation. "In fact the Funk testimony," it was said later in the report, "has been taken cum grano sails by nearly every one who has heard it. Mr. Funk, himself admitted that he thought his story would not be believed." The committee reported that it did find that Mr. Hines was flattered by being consulted by Senators Aid rich and Penrose In regard to the desire to have some Republican elected to th Senate from "Hts sense of the importance of the matter," it was said, "was greatly enhanced when he knew that ther bad been in conference with the President, and that Lorimer' candidacy would not be objectionable to him, and that to be entrusted with the responsibility of making known their wishes and explaining- the attitude of the President to Gov.

Review Burgess' Testimony. The committee next considered testimony of William M. Burgess, of Ouluth, that C.

F. Wiehe, brdther-ln-law of, Mr. Hines, had stated in a smoking room of a sleeping car out of Uuluth March that he had contributed $10,009 to a Lorimer election fund. Contradictory testimony of others on the train was commented upon with this concluding statement: "With a convincing array of evidence in denial of all the facts contained in Mr. Burgess' testimony, and In view of the improbabiiity that a man of Mr.

Welhe's Intelligence and business experience should, in a public place and to an utter stranger, would have confessed to having part in an Infamous proceeding, this committee cannot do otherwise than discard the testimony of Mr. Burgess as proof of any facts' alleged." In this connection the committee considered the attempt to impeach the testimony of Charles McGowan. the young Canadian who testitled in Wiehe's behalf. This impeachment was sought by private detectives with a stenographer and telephonic apparatus extending into a room in which Mr. McGowan was supposed to bave acknowledged having perjured himself.

The committee related an attempted reproduction of the conditions under which the stenographic report of Mr. Mc-Gowans conversation was made, and added that the results were so disastrous to the claims made by the stenographer as to satisfy the committee that no dependence whatever could be placed upon Lh'nrtestimony. sif of the prominent features of the which were the further slerr.lof inquiry at the second invesliga- Say White Fabricated. The account by former Mate Representative Charles A. White of receiving Lorimer election money was pronounced "as a pure fabrication so far as It relates to the election of Lorimer." "From a most exhaustive examination and painmking consideration of all the testimony in the case," the report declared, "the committee finds that White was one of the nfty-three Democrats who felt justified In voting for Mr.

Lorlmer in order to break the deadlock which, had exited in that bodv for so nvany month6, and that White's attempt lo ennoti himself at the expense of his own reputation was the result of an afterthought and oi a which he had at a time when he had reached the lowest depths uf deiadatlon." The committee advanced the lneory that, instead of Senator Daniel W. having been paid 52.500 for having votpd for Lorimer. it might have been na'd bv Junior to defray his elec tlon expenses, although posing as "dry.
