"The only other question was whether the proof showed that enougievotes of the members of the legislature voting for Senator Lorimer were secured through bribery, or Influenced by corrupt practices or promises so that deducting such votes from the total cast for him his vote would fall below that required by the constitution to elect. Upon this point all of the subcommittee were of the opinion that the proof failed to show that he was elected by bribery, except one, Senator Frazier. We think the senator erred in his conclusions if we accept his finding- of facts. A quorum of each house was present and the vote cast when Senator. Lorimer was elected was for Stringer and Hopkins together 94 votes, and for Lorimer 108.

If seven corrupt votes were cast for Senator Lorimer and excluded from his vote it would stand: For Lorimer 101, all others 94. In order to defeat Lorimer the whole seven votes must be added to the votes cast for Stringer and Hopkins. The confessed. bribe-takers were Representatives White, Beckemeyer. and Link.

The full com-mittee on privileges and elections consists of twelve members. Seven of these composed the subcommittee.

The report of the subcommittee was submitted to the full committee and every member of the full conAnittee agreed to its findings except Senator Frazier and Senator Beveridge. the latter statliug that he was not prepared to either assent or dissent, not having had time to examine the evidence and arguments in the case. It is rather curious that six Republicans and four Democrats should concur in this report. one Democrat doubtfully asseruting and one Republican declaring he was not prepared either to assent or dissent, and yet an attempt seems to have been made to create the impression that the report was not warranted or an attempt to rush through a. whitewash."

Atchison. Dec. 31.Ppecial.1E. W. Howe.

who founded The Atchison Globe thirty-three years ago this month, retired from It this evening. A one-balf interest hi the paper has been given to Eugene Howe, the editor's son. The rest of the stock is divided between a number of Atchison men. It is thought Eugene Howe mill continue the Globe as an independent paper. In a statement in the Globe today Mr.

Howe sunnounced hts intention of retiring- to Potato Hill, his country place, below Atchison, and devoting his time to publishing Smith's Quarterly, an ambition he long has cherished. This publication will be unique, as it is his intention to print in it anything he desires, a privilege which has been denied him in the newspaper businessthe privilege to print freely what he thinks. Gifts to Other Children. Mr. Howe also announced his intention of giving to each of his other children, James P.

Howe of the New York Journal reportorial staff, and Mrs. Dwight Farnham of Seattle, a earn more than he received today for a half interest in the Globe. What price was paid for the half interest has not been made public. but he valued the paper at 090, and It Is not believed be lowered the price. Edgar Watson Howe was born at Treaty, in 1854, and began his newspaper career in his father's printing office at the age of 12.

Ile published the Golden Globe of Golden, at the age of 19. He Is one of the most noted paragraphers In the country, an as an author of fiction and travel is well known. Being a printer, it is Mr. Howe's intention to do all the work on Smith's Quarterly, including the composition and ---1 Information hate yet been obtained as to tbe attitude he propoees to take. It is believed, although nothing is known certainly, that he will azinounce his decision upon the floor of the senate when it convenes.

It may be he will concur in the majority report; it may be he will dissent therefrom. and file a minority report. Senator Ffazier is expected to be beck in Washington early in the new year. It will be recalled he filed dissenting- views from the majority report -with the full committee. and that as a result of misinfonmation, he was induced to request that they be not presented to the senate, although he directed specifically that it be announced he reserved the right to make a minority report should he desire to do so.

It is considered highly probable Mr. Frazier will make such a report. Senators Will Be Put on Record. This means the oenate will have to adopt either the findings of the majority that Senator Lorimees title to the seat he occupies is without taint, or the findings of the minorit3r that the seat was corruptly secured and Is vacant That is to say, every senator present in the chamber when the roll is called will have to vote for or against Lorimer, for or against the methods by which his election was procured. for or against a system of electing senators which is abhorrent to the entire country.

for 'or against the big interests which have been actively lobbying here. Senators are chary about indicating now they propose to vote. Members of the committee on privileges and elections who signed the report naturally do not want to be deprived of the support of their colleagues, and they are busily engaged explaining to them how they were brought to believe there was no corruption whatever practiced in connection with the election of Lorimer. Admit Corruption. at Springfield.

They take the ground there was corruption at Springfield, although they failed to mention it in their report, but they say it related wholly to local legislation and, had no connection with Lorimer's election. When asked why they did not make this admission in their report they reply there was so much perjury it was absolutely impossible to tell who was relating the truth. and they call attention to this sentence on their report: That matter (the jackpot) was and is one for the proper officials of the state of Illinois to take cognizance of, and one with which the senate of the United States has no concern." These men know the sorry story of jury fixing practiced in connection with-the trials which have been held. They knew that as senators they represented not merely their respective states, but the whole country, and that it was their duty to do what the senate ordered them to doto make a thorough investigation and report. Aid to Decent Citizenship.

In the cause of decent citizenship, a true and accurate description of the conditions at Springfield could not have been but in the interest of public morals. Moreover, and this is important, it would, have aided the senate in obtaining a just idea of the foulness of the atmosphere which prevailed in the Illinois capital during Lorimer's election. Members of the committee will be asked during the debate to give their impressions of the conditions at Springfield, and some Interesting side lights upon their true frame of mind may be expected. Following action upon the Lorimer case, the senate will consider the proposal for a constitutional aznendment providing for the direct election of senators. The judiciary committee of the senate will met on Monday of next week.

It will take a vote upon the report of the subcommittee advocating the amendment The report ill be adopted by theararrow margin of one. Borah Will Be Champion. Senator Borah, who is enthusiastically in favor of a change from the present method of electing senators, will make the report, and will champion the plan advocated upon the floor of the senate. If the senate pass the bill there is no doubt it will go through the house promptly, sinCe a measure of this kind was adopted by the latter body in former years. BY A.

Certificates are nonnegotiable and nontransferable, and are worthless in the possesston of any other than their lawful owners. Interest at the rate of 2 per cent per arm urn will be allowed on all deposits, but interest only begins to run from the first business day of the month. so that deposits made after such time in any one month will not begin to draw -lrterest until the first day of the next succeeding month.

Cooke has occupied Ns preeent position for the last live years. and was in charge and had control of the company which did a business of 80,000 barrels of beer per year. He Is charged with having allowed cuseomers and trade to be lost through his mismanagement of the company's affairs. The following is a list of allegations made against him In the suit: He has lost over $250.000 of the company's assets of $600,000 during the time he occupied his present poeition. He has refused to acknowledge the right of the cornpany to the twenty-eight saloon licenses which he controls as trustee for the use of the same for the company.

Owing to the limited supply of licenses in Chicago they are valuable. and Cooke Is charged with havirg disposed of seven of the licenses for large sums of money which he has converted to his own use and refused to give an accounting of to the company. Say He Used "Expenses." Cooke is charged with having drawn large sums of money from the funds of the company for which he has given no vouchers and which he compelled the bookkeepers to enter as expenses." This money, it is charged, he used for his own personal benefit. One of the licenses was used in the Ea Saila street saloon upon which Cooke has obtained a lease. it is charged.

Attorneys Guerin, Gallagher, and Barrett fled the bill. Mr. Cooke In the evening expressed surprise at the charges made against him. I have not misused any of the funds of the company," he said. There has been no dealing in licenses, and I can prove the Lai.

BY JOHN CALLAN O'LAUGHLIN. Washington, D. Dec. Congress NNW reconvene on Thursday next and will attempt to compress within eight short weeks the disposition of moral and legislative questions of Intense Interest to the country. The overwhelmingly Important question to be decided, of course.

is whether or not William Lorimer's title to his seat in the United States senate Is without stain. Corollary to this is the consideration of the report of the judiciary committee of the senate which will be presented by Senator Borah of Idaho, recommending the submission to the states of an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. Program of Legislation. The program of legislation upon which action will be sought contains the following features: 1Enactment of appropriation bills. 2Creation of a permanent tariff corn-mission 3Authorization of fortifications for the Panama canal.

4Grant of ship subsidies. 5Authorization of rural parcels post delivery. 6Enactment of additional conservati measures. It Is the purpose of the house leaders to dispose of the appropriatidn bills before attacking any of the subjects of general legislation which are on the program adopted. There a.re two Important reasons for this procedure.

The first is that money must be provided (luring the present session to meet the expenses of the government in the next fiscal year; the second is to avoid the danger, in the closing days of the session, of having the appropriation bills loaded down with riders which may be really of value to the people or desired by the special GODFREY MACDONALD DEAD; ENTERTAINED ENGLISH KING.

31.SpeciaIA--It was stated at Bellevue hospital today that there is no doubt that Joseph G. Robin, the financier who wrecked the Northern Bank of New York, and forced the closing of the Washington Savings bank, will recover from the effects of the poison he took yesterday to escape arraignment for grand larceny. Robin was visited by his sister. Dr. Louise Robinovitch, and Isidor Kresel, of his court-se'.

Administration leaders are frankly eon- Terned because ef the public criticism which hots met the efforts to rush the whitewash le hrough the senate, and fear the effect that a Ieeating of Lorimer after a perfunctory intvestigation may have on the standing of the 1 tie- publican' party in the next campaign.

Criticism of the whitewash and opposi- to Lorimer has developed rapidly among 4 Republican eenators during the last few fsays as the nature of the evidence on which he whitewash was based has become known. 'Senators who have been identified with resection-wry legislation are now in oppoeition to the pion for rushing through the senate a report as the majority of the invest(- committee has made. So unprogres- ive a senator as Dick of Ohio now ex- rese es opposition to such a move. At this time, with many senators away -terom Washington.

There is Only one piece of legislation the conservative members of congress would be willing to have attached as a rider to an appropriation bill, and that is the bill authorieing ehip subsidies. A measure to this end will pass the senate promptly in the new year.

It will then be for the public to act, and it does not look as though there is any change in sentiment in that body from has beet' the case in former years. If the house staries fast, there can be no subsidy legislation at least for three years, as the Democrats are opposed to it. There is little doubt that a satisfactory tariff bill will pass. It may be expected also that congress will authorize an appropriation to begin the construction of fortifications for the Panama canal. It is not at all certain there will be rural parcels posts established.

Time for the Lorimer Scandal. While the house of representatives is considering the appropriation bills the senate will have time to ventilate thoroughly the Lorimer scandal.

The debate, which will come immediately after congress convenes, is certain to be the most exhaustive of its kind known in the annals of the senate.

Senators realize the issue which they are facing is not merely whether Lorimer shall retain his seat. They regard him as merely a small pawn in, one of the great games of modern politics.
