ISCANDAL UP T0 THE GRAND JURY Lorimer’s Election to Sen- ate Will Be: Prohed. SAYS MATTER IS SERIOUS Judge Kersten, In His Charge to the Jurors, Impresses Upon Them the Gravity of the Charges They Are to Investigate—Body * Will Also Con- sider Alleged Grafting in Cennec- tion With Certain Railroad Legis- lation, Chicago, May 3.—A special county grand jury convened here to hear evi- dence in the Chicago and Northwest- ern Indlana railroad alleged grafting 8candal and “other matters.” Included under the head of “other matters” will probably be the presentation of evidence by State’s Attorney Way- man looking toward indictments in the election of William Lerimer to the United States senate last May. While the jury has been called primarily for the purpose of investigating the Chi- cago and Western Indiana scandal the alleged Lorimer bribing case will prob- ably occupy the center of the stage. In the course of special instructions to the grand jury Judge Kersten first directed attention to the charges made by John C. Fetzer that “large sums of money of the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad company had been used to bribe and corrupt public offi- clals.” The court referred to the charge that Senator Lorimer was elected by bribes in the following words: “At least one other matter of equal importance and gravity and similar nature, which was not presented in that petition (the Fetzer charges), has come up since the jury was summoned and will be called to your attention. “The nature of the matter you are called to investigate is so grave in character that the court does not feel it necessary to impress on you the great obligation with which you are charged. No more insidious crime, no more dangerous crime than the cor- ruption of public officials can be imagined; and no crime can be more deliberately aimed at the very founda- tion of the government than that with the investigation of which you are charged by the court.” ARTILLERY FOR PHILIPPINES Twenty Companies to Be Sent to Man Fortifications.
