Instead of telling Edward Hines of Chicago, the storm center in the pres- ent Lorimer investigation, that he and the president were anxious to have Lorimer elected, Mr. Aldrich declared that he said Lorimer’s candidacy was “not objectionable.” When attorneys for Lorimer on cross-examination tried to show that the former senator might have said “acceptable,” Mr. Aldrich emphatically declared that he said ‘not objectionable,” and that he meant that word and nothing more. He added that he knew Hines would use the information given him at Springfield. Mr. Aldrich also denied he had told Hines that he considered Lorimer the only man who could be elected. He declared that he did not ask Senator Penrose to bring Hines to his room. Discussed President’s Attitude. According to Aldrich all the conver- sations he had with Hines in regard to the senatorial situation were re- garding the president’s attitude to- | ward candidates, first, Hopkins, then Boutell and finally Lorimer.

HINES AGAIN ON THE STAND Qestioned About Actions During First Lorimer Probe. Washington, July 23.—The activi- ties of Edward Hines, whose name has been linked with the election of Senator Lorimer, to influence the vote of the senate last spring on un- seating the Illinois senator, were in- quired into by the senate Lorimer committee. Hines was on the stand again and testified that he called on President W. C. Brown of the New York Cen- tral during the Lorimer fight in the Senate. Hines was asked if he was seeking to influence the vote of Sen- ator Depew. He answered in the negative. Hines did say that he speut @ month in Washington just preced- ing the vote on the Lorimer case, seeing senators, inducing others to ; See them and writing letters to some of his friends to “tell the facts to their senators.” }congress, whether they are employed or resting. “Queer Things.” “We see some queer things here,” remarked Senator Heyburn of Idaho | one day when he was addressing the senate and there was scarcely any one giving him attention and few senators were present. “The only thing I have not seen yet that I think would be a novelty would be to see some senator go out while he was speaking. Every other phase of neglect and dilatory tactics has been presented in connec- tion with this legislation.” He was speaking of the reciprocity | bill. “To the Victors Belong the Spoils.” Leaders on both sides of the house were playing petty politics with each other by making charges and counter- charges and asking questions designed to be embarrassing. “Why were you so prompt in ap- pointing committees if you were not going to do anything?” asked Payne. “One reason was we wanted to get | the Republican incumbents out of their places.” frankly answered Fitz- gerald. “That is committee patronage,” said Mann. “That was just a grab job.” “I merely wanted to say,” injected Rucker of Missouri. “that if the pur- pose of appointing committees was to give the Democrats patronage some- body has forgotten something.” This raised a laugh, for Rucker was even denied lerk for his committee, which has been very active during the session Insurgents Lined Up.

Fargo, N.D.,July 21,—Three masked | highwaymen held up the North Coast limited No. 2 on the Northern Pacific road near Buffalo, N. D., searched the passengers, shot and wounded the en- gineer, E. D. Olson of Fargo, and es- caped with cash and valuables esti- mated at between $500 and $1,000. The North Coast limited, eastbound, stopped at Highbridge, between Valley City and Buffalo. The three mer, | armed and wearing masks, entered a day coach. One held the train crew at bay, while the others lined up the passengers and took their valuables. The sleepers and dining car also were invaded and few passengers escaped the search. Completing their work in the train the robbers crawled over the baggage car to the tender of the locomotive. They ordered the engineer, Olson, to stop the train. He refused. Two shots were fired into the engine cab. One| bullet inflicted a flesh wound in the | side of the engineer. The other went | wild. The engineer stopped the train | and the highwaymen dropped off the | tender and fled.
