tempts to limit the Hurburgh bribery to the cases of Senator Broderick and Petnberton were foiled tonight. Terrific pressure, exerted from Washington, has been brought to bear upon certaie senators, in an effort to prevent any poesibility of the senate looking into the legislative records of any of the members of the house In the last legislature. The sins er hich came-from Senator Hut-burgh is that, when the serate and house participated in a joint F. erzion for the put-pc se of balloting for a United States senator, any reflection made againet the'probity of any member of that session; senator or representative. constituted a prievance Lich Is a Rhin the rights and privileges of the senate to investigate Members Opposed to Delay.

Front the tone of the semarks made by Influential members of the senate and of the members of the investigating comanittee no delaying tactics will be tolerated when the Hurburg resolution and the report of' the Hearn committee in the case comes up for action tomorrow. The only possibility of delay lies with ator John Broderick, accused by liolstla of having paid the of Lorimer money to kiolstlaw. The disposition of the conservative senators is that if Broderick appears in the senate tomorrow and asks that judgment be suspended for a week, pending his arraignment at the criminal bur of Sangamon county. the senate managers would be prepared to grant his request. Broderick Trial Opens Monday.

State's ttorrey Burke has aucoeededi In having the Broderick case set on the criminal docket for next Monday. This Is the latest date set by the senate leaders for postponing action by the committee. and this poi.tponement is based entirely upon the course which Broderick himself will follow. Waehlrgton, D.

but that he would elot let It Interfere with the consideration and of the Lorimer case. That Mr. Lorimer and his counsel knew that nothing would take place, here was shown by their depliture last Friday for Chicago. Mr. Lorimer was not In his seat today- and kis absence was Interesting only because it constituted a contrast with thoee seselons in which he was busily engaged In taking notes of the criticisms, passed upon tint and the methods which obtained In connection with his election.

The capitol wee not however, by his agents. They are keeping steadily on the job and they propose to remain there until the final vote is taken. These men' were disheartened by the news that Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island was forced to leave the city for the, south on account of his health. and the prospect that he will not return until after the session eras. The Lorimerites have been countirg on the active'support and assist, ance of Mr.

Ale-rich, and they realized their cause was lost unless he labored energetical' ly with his colleagues in behalf of Lorimer. Aldrich a Twofold Leader. The absence of the Rhode- Island senator means the loss of an important vote for the blonde boss." By reason izf being alphabetically, as well as actually leader of the, conservativef. the way in which Mr. Aldrich voted has been a signal for his supporters to follow, if the vote hould before his return.

seven men wil) have voted before a conservative shall be reached. As a matter of fact. however, in a moral issue such as Mr. Lorimer's case presents there are no coneervatives. no ineurgents, and to Democrats.

As part of the scheme of delay Mr. Lori. met's friends propose to enter into an ex, haustive discussion of the question of whether he should be subject to-exclusicrn under 1 the majority or the two-thirds rule.

Washington, D. Jan. The appeal of William II. Gray of Chicago, formerly manager of the Western Life Indemnity company. agalkst the enforced restitution of $125,000 to the insurance concern failed in the United States Supriktne court today.

Hyde, City Chamberlain of New York, Hasn't Seem the krayor Yet. New York. Jan. H. Hyde-.

the city chamberlain, returned to his desk today and made fresh explanations of his long absence. but not to the mayor. The mayor did not see him, although Mr. Hyde waited for his former law partner all day. The mayor was at his country home on Long Island.

Don't you think your absence at this time has rather put the mayor in a hole?" Mr. Hyde was asked. I hope not. was the reply. I wouidn1 do anything to hurt him for the world.

He has been my friend for twenty-two years. He may 'be displeased, but he will understand that I have been sick. The whole reason for my going away is that I was a sick man under espionage. But they were not really after me; it was to get the mayor that I was followed." a senator lacks the qualification desirable by the senate, he must be expelled 1 by a two-thirds vote. 4 Quote Letter from Knox.

In this connection, he said: By another provisionnamely that relating to expulsionthe constitution enables the i senate to protect itself against improper characters by expelling them by a two-thirds vote if they are guilty of crime, offensive immorality. disloyalty. or gross impropriety during their term of service." It has not been contended that Mr. Lori rrier committed. any of the offenses enumerated by Mr.

Knox. since he took the oath of his present office. The objection to Mr. Lori' tiler lies in the method of his election, which enabled him to enter the senate. The senate must not only judge the qualifications of Mr.

Lorimer, under the constitution, but it roust judge his "election" and the "returns" thereof. Under the uniform practice which has been pursued in such cases a majority vote has been regarded as sufficient to ex, elude. But, whatever are the precedents in the past, the senate is its own law maker. It can do what is pleases. It is altogether ly that it will decide that a majority vote will be sufficient to unseat Mr.

Lorimer, and then it will proceed to put this decision Into effect. a sena des-irat 1 by at 41 4 i i In th By ing to 4 senate charac 1 vote il Immor; during It ha rner cc ated his wer 1 enab: must roust there has 1 vote elude But Mi, 1,1 past, can 1Y! thl will 1 then effect Los Angeles, Jan. 16--SpeciaLl--L.

Before this stage is reached, however, various artifices IN ill be resorted to by the friends of Mr. Lorimer to postpone the action. They 'skill rot delay by open filibustering.

because that would bring down upon them the condemnation of the country. But they will use subterfuge. If congress should adjourn without action, this would be an unnecessary hardship upon Senator Lorimer, if he is innocent. and the people should resent it. If be be guilty.

this also should be resented since it will mean a continuance of the stain upon Illinois. Under such c'reumstances, the wise course for the senate to pursue, in the judgment of men who know the is to require the senators who propose to speak to do so without delay and then to vote upon a motion declaring void Mr. Lorimer's election. 4 Bet' clus a of Alt will that dernn use withc larde nocet be hi since 12 port Um for ti men thee 7 with tion i Uneeda Biscuit are soda crackers made from the finest flour and the best materials obtainable That Makes them an ideal Uneeda Biscuit are soda crackers made from the fine flour a ndt he best materials Makes obtainable- tainable- them an ide, Uneeda Biscuit are baked in surroundings where cleanliness and precision are supreme That Makes them Uneeda Biscuit are baked in surroundings where clew liness and precision are supreme That Makes the tv ri .1. i 2 4 I i I I 1 1 1 i -it I 1 1, I 1 7 1 I li S.
