An investigation of this charge led to the discovery that the woman tn question was a neighbor who had fre quently complained that Helen was leading her little daughter into bad ways and who finally felt obliged to send all her children out of the city for the summer to keep them away from the Uttle girl's influence. Helen, having @ sense of grim humor, decided that ft would be s good way to revenge herself upon this woman by telling the Judge that she was what the police call = “Fagin.” ‘The children didn't have much to say this morning when Justice Hoyt looked down at them rather sternly through hig nose glasses and said he'd found they'd been lying to him. “What have you got to say to that?” he inquired.

Y., and John McLeod of Buffalo, N. ¥., both lumber men, swore that they knew ab- solutely nothing about the ratsing of @ | fund to elect Senator Lorimer | Both men came to Washington on alt. | ferent occasions as members of deleza- tions interested tn lumber legislation, each time meeting Edward Hines, the Chicago lumber man, who was charged with saying he raised the money “ put Lorimer over at Springfeld. MoLean testified that the only thing Mr. Hines ever mentioned to him about | the Lorimer election was that the news- papers only printed one side of the matter. Edward Hines, the Chicago lumber millionaire who, it has deen testified, had said he “put Lorimer over at Spring- flel,” was to-day excluded from the room where the Senate committes is hoMing {ts investigation into the elec- tion of Senator Lorimer. ‘This action wan taken by the committee at an exec- utive session, The committees considered it inadvisa- ble that Mr. Hines should be permitted to listen to the testimony. Since Clar- ence 8. Funk of Chicago took t Mr, Hines had been allowed to be pres- ent in the committee room and hear the witness whose evidence largely had cen- tred about his alleged remarks about the Lorimer election expense. “BARREL OF MONEY” NEW TO HIM. Rush Culver, alumberman and lawyer of L’Anse, Mich., was the first witness to-day before the Committee. When the Lorimer investigation was on before the Helm Committee of the Iilinois Legis- lature, Shelly B. Jones of Marquette, Mich., was reported to have stated that Culver was present on an occasion in 199 when Edward Hines, millionaire lumberman, declared he had “just suc- ceeded in making a United States Senator that cost a hundred thousand dolars.” Janes testified that the conversa- tion was in 1907 and was simply that Lorimer’s election, presumably to the House, probably “cost @ barrel of money.” As s00n ae Mr. Culver was sworn the committee went into executiv ion, TALK 4 | had sworn that I had sald I knew about THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1911.

On one or two occasions old me he was friendly to Lorimer and it seems to me once in Chicago we saw some wagons of the Kd- ward Hines Lumber Company decorated with ‘Vote for Lorimer.’ It seems to me Mr. Hines has said to me that he had been in the habit of helping out Senator Lorimer. He certainly referred to Congressional elections. “My memory is that he said he would decorate wagons for Lorimer and would help him to raise campaign funds.” The witness could not remember a conversation in Shelly B. Jones's drug store in 1907 nor at any other time, when Jones is said to have declared that Hines referred to the Lorimer election as cost- ing “a barrel of money.” Mr. Mclan testified that a Mr. Coan, Who sald he represented the Helm Com- mittee Investigating Senator Lorimer's | election on behalf of the Illinois Sen- ate, had asked him what he knew about the raising of a Lorimer election fund. “T told him that 1 did not know @ny- thing,” deciared Mr. McLean. “Didn't you tell Mr. Coon," asked Attorney Healy, of counsel of the com- mittee, “that he was not going to get anything from you or your friend, Mr. Hines, and what you knew about rate- ing money for Lorimer was only hear- say, anyway?" “No, air, absolutely,” exclaimed the witness. Mr. Mcleod testified that all Mr. Hines #aid to him about Senator Lori- mer was on his trip to Washington just before the Senatorial election. “He introduced me to Mr. Lorimer, then a Congressman, and said that he might be the next Senator from Ill!nots," de- clared the witness. MIXED ON DATE OF HIS VISIT TO WASHINGTON. “Did you ever hear of the money tn the Lorimer election? Mr. sfealy. responded Mr. McLeod. “Yes, “Where?” “In the newspapers—and once a fellow told me that I said I'knew about tt.” “Who was that?" “Why, a man who #ald he was Coan and represeneted the Helm Committee came up to me and said that two men the use of money in the election.” “Did Coan convines you?" inquired Senator Kenyon. “No, air.” Mr. McLean was questioned closely about his visit to Washington, because he said his delegation came at the request of Mr. Hines to see Secretary Knox about the duty on lumber from Canada, The witness thought that it might have been fn 1910 but sald tt could thave been 190, whtle Mr. McLeod tn his | testimony Placed Mr. McLean's visit tn | 1907, Netth Was sure the ‘had to do with Canadian reciprocity after which he began his testimony by saying he had been Mayor of Marquett: Mich.
