PURPOSE THOUGHT TO BE
SECURING MORE EVIDENCE
Mayor Grace, of Charleston,
Who Preferred the Charges
Against Gov. Blease, Present.
The investigating committee of the
legislature of South Carolina in the
dispensary matter did not hold a ses
sion this morning. It was scheduled
to begin at. 10 o’clock but at 12 it had
not convened and Chairman Carlisle
announced that the hearing would be
postponed until 3:30 o'clock. The
postponement, it was understood, was
in order to secure some additional
evidence.
Friday's three sessions were
replete with thrills and sen
sations, but the greatest of al the
sensations was expected Saturday.
Col. Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta
attorney who has charged Governor
Blease with grafting, had promised
to spring more convincing evidence
against the governor of South Caro
lina than was brought out Friday.
Col. Felder said that he had the
“goods" on Blease and proposed to
relentlessly “show him up” by indis
putable evidence that he was a
grafter of the boldest character.
Felder and Burns.
The testimony ot Col Felder and
detective Burns took up the entire
day Friday, and Saturday it was ex
pected that Detective Reed with his
distograph would give the result of
his discoveries. Col. Felder was also
expected to go on the stand again
during the day. It was thought that,
the hearing would be concluded dur
ing the dav. Detective Burns was
again in the court room but he was
not expected to take the stand again.
The effect of the investigation on the
gubernatorial race in South Carolina
was a main topic of discussion before
the beginning of the hearing. It, was
gossiped about that Blease would be
certain to be defeated after the ex
posures.
When He Gets Through.
Col. Felder said that when he got
through with Blease he would have
no chance to get anything in the fu
ture and that if he escaped prison he
could consider himself lucky. Mayor
John P. Grace, of Charleston, who
charged Governor Blease with
collecting graft from the Char
lest.on blind tigers, was an interested
"ectator Saturday morning. W. F.
>enson, of Cheraw, one of the at
torneys associated with Col. Felder in
the dispensary cases, was also pres

MAKES FAREWELL TALK
TO COLLEAGUES AT FEAST
SayS Republic is In Greater
Danger Than the Wisest Men
Think.
Washington, D. C.—Senator Bailey
of Texas in a farewell address to a
score of his colleagues at a private
dinner last night predicted that if the
conditions of the United States con
tinued to change as much in the next
30 years as they had in the last 30
the South would face a condition par
allel to that of the French revolution.
The full text of what Mr. Bailey'
said did not become known until later.
He charged that members of congress
by their own cowardire were respon
sible for a condition of unrest which
prevails. He virtually charged the
Democratic party with exaggerating
the importance, of existing evils.
“This republic is near a crisis which
Is greater than the wisest men think.”
said Senator Bailey. “I do not forget
that the French revolution came while
the governors were at the theatre and
that they arose from their hanuet ta
bles to comp face to face with violence
and bloodshed in the streets of Paris.
I do not say the United States ijj fac
ing such a. state of affairs, hut I do
maintain that if within the next 30
years the country should continue to
change as ft ha* fn the last 30, we will
find ourselves face to face witth such
a condition at the end of that. time. j
"You senators and representatives,”
continued Mr, Bailey, "ran prevent
this great crisis and you will do so if
you have the courage to go out and
tell the public the truth. Every evil
which exists in the country today can
he corrected without danger to the
principles and policies upon which this
republic was founded and It should be
done.
"The impatience of the minority, of
which I myself have been a member
has been largely responsible for the
state of mind of the people of the Uni
ted States today for they have gross
ly exaggerated the evils of the coun
try."

Action of Bar.
Seattle, Wn. In response to a re
quest of Chairman Graham of the
house judiciary sub-committee, which
is investigating the charges against
Judge Cornelius Hanford, the Seattle
Bar Association adopted a resolution
last night appoint a committees to as
stt the sub-committee 1n obtaining
evidence. The bar association then
adopted a resolution expressing con
fideence in Judge Hanford.
During the discussion of the first
resolution there was, criticism of the
sub committee because of Chairman
Graham’s statement that the represen
tatives were seeking only “Incrlmlnat
ing evidence.” The letter of Chairman
Graham to the association did not ask
for the appointment of a committee
but said: *
“The sub-committee feels that un

tle and King county owe the profes
sion as well as congress arid committee
the duty of aiding the production of
all material evidence hearing upon the
matter of inquiry so that we may gef
the true facts concerning Judge Han

bench.”

he would vote in support of Lorlmer.
H' hud been counted on the other
side.
End Long Fight.
Washington.—By a vote of 65 to 28
the United States senate today un
sifted Wm. Lorlmer, the Junior sena
tor from IlllTintß, and declared his title
to his seat invalid. The end of the
long fight to oust the senator came
after six days of protracted debate In
whlehe. Senator Lorlmer himself had
occupied tho floor for three session*,
making an Impassioned defense of hla
election.
The final vnfh upon the resolution
offered by Duke Lea, senator from
Tonnossee, declared tho .Lorlmer elec
tion by the Illinois legislature In 1909
Invalid.
The adoption of the I.ea resolution
carried with It. the senate's verdict
that "corrupt methods and practices
were employed In tho election of Wm.
Lorlmor," making his election invalid.
Intensely Dramatic.
The closing moments of the trial
were intensely dramatic. Lorlmer.
holding the floor, making a last de
fense Of his seat, declared he did not
appeal for votes of any senator but
asked for Justice.
Senator Lorlmor, when the vote was
announced, walked slowly toward the
hack of the room and passed Into a
cloak room, Senator fimoot throwing
an arin over his shoulder.
The vote ousting him was concluded
at 2.05 o'clock. The man who had oc
cupied a seat In the senate since Juno
18, 1909, by the vote today, passes out
of the records and never officially has
held a seal in tho senate of th‘o United
Ktate*. TUe Lea resolution, adopted
by a vote of almost two to one, was
as follows:
"Resolved, that corrupt methods and
practices were employed in the elec
tion of Wm. lorlmer to the senate of
the United States from the state rs
Illinois and that his election was
therefore invalid."
Washington.—Them was a well rle.
fined belief In the senate today when
it reronvened to continue the Ixirlmer
ease that the prodiorimer forces were
working to further delay tho final
vote In the hope of changing several
wavering votes to the support, of Mr.
I/orlmer. Tho antl-Lortmer forces
practically concerted that Mr. Ix>ri
mer’s spoeoh yesterday had changed
the attitude of two senators counted
as antagonistic to him at the present
trial. These wore Senator Cullom of
Illinois, his colleague, and Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina The be
lief that theHc two senators had de
termined to oppose the resolution to
unseat Ixtrimer because of his analy
sis of tht evidence against him was
generally accepted as a fact today hy
hts opponents. Senator Kern had
not determined whether he would re
ply to Mr. Ixtrlmer when the latter
again ’took up his speech at the open,
lng of today’e session.
Renews Challenge.
Almost the first utterance of the
Illinois senator was a renewal of the
challenge to Senator Kern and his as
sociates to refute certain of Lorlmor’*
statements as to the evidence brought
out hy the Investigations. Again the
defl received no response.
Senator Kern was the center of a
short conference when he came on
the floor, one of the participant*
hclng Senator Luke another
member of the investigation commit
tee and another target for Ig>rlmer’s
shafts In the two days of his speak
ing. The opponents' of Senator I/orl
mer had practically agreed not. to
answer hts charges and challenges,
believing that to open any discussion
would Involve the Issue in further da.
bate.
Further Debate.
Senator Lorlmer’s Immediate at
tack upon Lea, Kenyon and Kern and
his repeated challoge to them to dis
prove his statements lent color to the
belief that an effort would be made
to bring on further debate before the
final vote on the Lea resolution of
exclusion. The air In the chamber
was hot and oppressive when the sen
ate convened. Senators came In re
luctantly but (50 were at hand when
Mr. Lorlmcr again took the floor. It
was Mr. Lorlmer’s announced Inten
tion when he began to conclude his
speech today unless Interruptions
should extend It. Hls opponents were
determined that he should finish to
day.
“We will stay here until 12 o'clock
tonight If we do not reach a vote be
fore that time,” said one of them.
Analyzes Testimony.
Senator Lorlmer took up in turn the
testimony of Rerkmeyer, Holstlaw,
Gillespie and others His analysis
was much along the lines brought, out
by his counsel at the committee hear
ings
At one point, declaring that the pro
