Doubt as to Bribery in Lorimer Case, So He Voted to Sustain His Colleague. BejfCete fDveelear Wees Bereatssj The Manser BauMIs.

WASHINGTON. March 2. It is gen erally conceded that the attitude of Senator Cullom had much to do in influencing other Senators in their votes on the Lorimer case. The senior Sen ator from Illinois had made no speech during the pendency of the case to indicate what position he would take, but some days before the vote it became understood he would vote to sustain his colleague. Senator Cullom has made the following state ment in explanation: "It la a serious matter to be ex polled from the Senate of the United States.

I would as Hef almost be sent to the penitentiary as to be ex pelled wrongfully. I would expect the disgrace not only to follow me to tbe grave, but to extend to my children Hence it is that It Is only the clearest and moat positive proof of guilt that would Justify a Senator in voting for the expulsion of a fellow member. "In the Lorimer case, there was doubt. There were charges of cor ruption, counter charges, denials, proof of perjury. More Important to my mind, however, than all, there was not the slightest evidence to directly, connect Senator Lorimer with the bribery charged to be connected with his election."

JULIA WARD HOWE'S i PLAY TO BE PRESENTED BOSTON. March t. A plsv In blank verse, written by the late Julia Ward Howe tn 1869, will receive Its first production In this city during the last week of March. The proceeds will added to the Howe Memorial Fund. The play "HlpBolytiis" was originally written for Edwin Booth, G001SIIE Trouble All Hinges on Payment to the Men of One Cent for Paste A strike that hinges on a cent became effective in buffalo yesterday, when all the union paperhangers went out.

Upwards of loy men, the best paperhangers in the city, are on strike. Thus far the employers and strikers have been unable to get together. Union men are employed by the bigger wallpaper dealers, by the Main street and downtown houses. These are the dealers who undertake the more Important contracts, paperhang-lng In buildings of a size where union men In other lines may refuse to work If non-union paperhangers are employed. "We granted everything they asked except the one-cent a roll for paste." said Ralph G.

Butler, the Main street dealer. That was something unheard of We paid the men and they always furnished what they needed. We do not feel that we can grant that cent. Every one of my men last year earned at least $1000 -gome even up to 11200." "A number of employers have signed the new agreement, dating from March 1, but some have not signed," said John Coleman, business agent of the United Trades and Labor Council this afternoon. "We have never had any trouble, however, and I expect that we will be able to reach an agreement today or tomorrow.

"The employers do not like to have the paste around their establishments, so thev say to the paperhangers you furnish your own Now It seems to me that If the paperhangers furnish the paste It is only fair that they should be nald for It, and not required to spend their earnings for paste any more than they are paired to fur-eiish the paper, molding etc." FELL DOWN STAIRS This afternoon at 3 o'clock Fred JSchlotterbeck, 35 years old, fell down a fiighi Of stairs at the Jacob Dold Packing Company's market, 89 West Market street. He received a frac tured skull and Is la an unconscious condition at the Emergency Hospital. He probably will die. Henry Schulx, 6S8 Sherman Catherine Bens, 644 Monroe.

0, lt Tariff Board Bill Taken Up Immediately After Convening of Upper House. Seven Big Appropriation Bills Still Remain and Chaos Reigns Over Legislation. WASHINGTON, March 2. The last vestige of doubt that there will be aa extraordinary session of Congress called by President Taft to consider the Canadian reciprocity agreement In the now practically certain event of the failure of that measure In the present Congress, disappeared today, when It became known that Republican, leaders had been called to the -White House for a consultation. "The die Is cast," said one of the Republican Senators after returning to the capitol.

"Mr. Taft has decided that there must be an extra session and that be will call for earlier than April 4." It was announced that a conference would be held on the subject probably Monday to decide upon a date. March 20- was the date talked about today at the capitol. Within half an hour after convening at 11 o'clock today the Senate had decided by the positive vote of 55 to 23 to set aside appropriation and take up the bill creating a permanent tariff board. The motion looking to such a course was made by Senator Male and it was in pursuance of the agreement made among the Republicans Tuesday In order to get a vote on the Lorimer resolution, Senator Bulkeley of Connecticut was the only Republican to csst a vote against the motion, while fonr Democrats voted with the Republicans for consideration.

MATTERS STILL CHAOTIC IN SENATE Bef fele Kvealaiar IWewa Barvesu Tbe Mieer WASHINGTON, March 2. Chaos still reigns in the Senate legislative situation. With but 48 hours remaining of the Congress to pass the seven big appropriaton bills, and tariff board and Canadian reciprocity bills, strong efforts were made this morning to reach an agreement on the disputed bills so as to avoid an extra session. These efforts apparently failed because of Democratic opposition to an immediate rote on the tariff board measure. Senator Root, who has beet, active in the conferences moved that the vote be immediately taken on the tariff bill.

but objection was made by Senators Simmons (Democrat) of North Caro lina. The Democrats are continuing the filibuster and the Republicans are insisting on considering the bill. it now looks as though the Senate will remain in continuous session until noon, March 4th, when the Congress ends 1 1 i 1 4 1 I I TRUSTED EMPLOYES Oftentimes It's a hard matter to find lust the riant nersoi position oi truat or responsiouity.
