Chicago, May 3.—Attorney E.

Thinks Another Probe Needed. “There is no question in my mind that the Lorimer case must again be taken up,” said a prominent member of the senate, who hesitated to spealk | because of the semi-judicial attitude in which such an investigation will place him. “However, it seems that the in- vestigating committee of the Illinois senate, which has been developing en- tirely new evidence as to the methods used in the election of Senator Lori- | mer, may be shown to have reached the limit of its authority. It is under- stood that there are witnesses outside the jurisdiction of the committee who cannot be compelled to testify and there are other witnesses in the juris- diction of Illinois who refuse to testify in accordance with the orders of the committee.

SIX-CENT RATE AT FIRS Idea Proposed Is to Reduce Tariff a | Cent a Year, Thus Securing Freel Wool Automatically at the End of 8ix Years—Dispute Over This Schedule Has Stirred Up Consider- | able Feeling in Democratic Ranks. ‘Washington, May 3.—The Democrat- ic members of the committee on ways and means, who, much to the distress of Speaker Clark and his lieutenants, stand 9 to 5 for free raw wool, are now considering an alternate proposi- tlon, which it appears, may be agreed upon. This is an immediate rate of € cents a pound on the raw wool, with a reduction of a cent a year in the rate until at the end of five years wool automatically goes on the free list. It has become apparent of late that the house leaders are very much dis- turbed as a result of the fact that a majority*of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee as well as a majority of Democrats in the house itself favor free raw wool. Bpeaker Clark, Representative Un- derwood of Alabama, the ways and means chairman and majority floor leader; Representative Hammond of Minnesota and other prominent Demo- crats are doing thelr best to stemthe current -of free raw wool sentiment. Up to date their efforts have met with lttle success. Now that they have put the annual reduction proposition up to their col- leagues in the tariff framing commit- tee there is a possibility that they may save the day for their side by postponing the:placing of the commod- ity on the free list. J Means Fify Per Cent Ciit. It is the presidential aspirations of Speaker Champ Clark that are getting in the way of Democratic plans for an effective revision of the wool schedule of ‘the Aldrich tariff law. The tenta- tive agreement of the majority of the ways and-nreans committee that there shall be sweeping reductions in the duty upon raw wool and manufactures of wool than there appeared a strong effort upon the part of the speaker’s friends to change the program and make the reductions of such a character as to cause the least offense to the wool growers. The particular wool growers upon ‘which the speaker and his friends are #aid to have focussed their attention are those in Ohio, many of whom are declared to be Democrats. * The matter is causing the first seri- ous split that has occurred in the Democratic forces in the house and there is fear that it will produce last- Ing discord and bitterness. Both sides, however, declare their willingness to ablde by the decision of the caucus. DAMAGE IN SEVERAL STATES c.ld' Wave In Missouri, ¢ *'Arkansas and Oklahoma. Katisas City, May 3.~Frost in some sections of Missouri, Kansas, North- ern Oklahoma and Arkansas is be- lieved to have damaged fruit to a small extent. In Kansas the mercury registered below the freezing point praetically throughout the -entire state. In Southwest Missour, in the Ozark mountains, clouds protected many sec- tions. At Springfleld, Mo., the lowest temperature, was 33 degrees above rero. In other districts of the Ozarks In Missouri and Northern Arkansas there was freezing temperatures.

He vigorously opposed the meas- ure as offering opportunity for a repe- ititlon of such losses to one of the principal industries of his state. Mr. Mondell charged the Democrats with using the Canadian reciprocity bill, which passed the house and now is in the senate, as a wedge for the Il'elumption of complete free trade. |SEVERE STORMS OCCUR IN EAST {6reat Damage to Property and Some Loss of Life. New York, May 3.—A severe elec trical storm made playthings of tele- phone and telegraph wires through- out New York state. At Ithaca a hail storm caused damage to. property and the loss of one life.
