PUBLISHED TiT' Ifesolonons for Reopening the Lorime Case Before the Senate. In the Resolution Introduced by Senate r La Follette, Lorimer is Charged With the Full Personal Knowledge of the Corruption Used for His Election. The vrashington correspondent of The News and Courier says interest in Conga ess Monday centered in the Senate, where Mr. La Follette spoke on his resolution for a special com mittee, named in the resolution and consisting entirely of new Senators, to investigate anew the Lorimer case. Tiie Wisconsin Senator was in fine trim and had a large audience, nearly a,s many House members hear ing him as were attending the Terri tories debate in the House itself. , -The substitute resolution of Sena tor Dilliagham, referring the new in vestigation to the committee on priv ileges and elections, will doubtless prevail, however. It is pointed out that his committee, as now consti tuted, contains the. names o? three new Senators, Messrs. Kenyon, of Iowa; Kern, of Indiana, and Lea, of Tennessee. An immediate investigation of sweeping scope of the renewed charges that Senator Lorimer, of Il linois, hi not entitled to his seat, is provided for in both the resolutions by Senators Dillingham'and La Fol lette. Senator La Follette called up his resolution and made a speech ar raigning the Illinois Senator, whom he charged with personal knowledge of the spending of money* in' behalf of his election. Both the Democrat ic steering committee and the Re publican members of the Senate com mittee on privilege and elections dis cussed the charges of corruption in the Lorimer case and Senator Dil lingham, chairman of the elections committee, presented his resolution of inquiry as a substitute for the' La Follette resolution. The La Follette" measure provides for a renewed in quiry fete the -Lorimer case by a sp jial committee. The Democratic Senators will support the Dillingham resolution. It is unlikely that the elections committee will be directed to investigate through a sub-commit tee, to be composed of its own mem bers. The Dillingham resolution follows: "That the committee on privileges and elections are authorized and di rected to further investigate the charges made against Wm. Lorimer, a Senator from the. State of Illinois, and to inquire and: report to the Senate whether in or about the elec tion of the said Wm. Lorimer, as a Senator of the United States from the State of Illinois, or in connec tion with, his right to a seat In this body, there1 were usefl-or- employed^ by any person, firm.' corporation or! association any corrupt methods of practice. "That said committee be author ized to sit during, the sessions of the Senate and during the recess of the Senate or of Congress; to hold its session at such place or places as it shall deem most convenient tor the purpose of Investigation; to employ stenographers and such counsel and competent accountants as it may deem necessary; to send for persons and papers and to administer oaths; and that the espenses'qf 'the Ihq?rjry shall be paid from the contingent' fund of the Senate upon vouchers to be approved bj* the chairman of the committee."1 Senator La Follatfe's speech -was a plea for a reinvestlgation' cn ac count, not only of. recent deiceJbp menta. 'but because of revelations during: th? last session" of the com mittee. tMr. La Follette reviewed the Lori mer case, citing the confessions of ?bribery in the interest of Lorimer's election. "Is there another Senator against whom such an imputation could have been made who would not have risen in his seat and demanded an inquiry?" he said. "Can you conceive of any man holding such a trust as a seat in the Senate who co ild sit here for weeks and months after his title had been impeached without saying some thing?'' He said the votes of the thirty Democratic 'Seuators for Lorimer would stick in the minds of the peo ple when it was remembered that the Democratic votes were under the leadership of Lee O'Neal Brown, who had $30.000 strapped on his person. He said that he understood that the Senate committee had per mitted an attorney in the case to divert it from an inquiry into Mr. Lorimer's knowledge of the case. Page upon page of the testimony he declared, showed the closest asso ciations between Mr. Lorimer, Speak er Shurtlieff and Lee O'Neal Brown, the Democratic leader. Five Deaths From Heat. Philadelphia heat records for the year and for May 22 were brokeu Tuesday when the mercury register ed 92 degrees. Five deaths were re ported to the coroner as being due to the excessive heat. r. ! DIAZ REIGN IS OM \t*?^J FFESIDENT OF MEXICO HAS RESIGNED OFFICE. Resignation Will Not Be Accepted Before Saturday, When Madeiro Will Go to Mexico City. A dispatch from Juarez, Mexico, says advices to the rebels is to the effect that President Diaz resigned Wednesday, .but it .is not expected that the Mexican Congress will ac cept it before Saturday, anci Francis co I. Madero, Jr., the rebel leader, is not planning ito istart fcr iMexico City before Sunday. Senor Madero is just beginning to realize the strength of the revolu tionary movement which he created. A constant stream of telegrams has been pouring in at his headquarters within the last few days congratu lating him on the successs of the revolution, and assuring him that thousands of men are at his disposal, 1C needed* As the telgrams are from all parts of Mexico, including the southern and central sections, it is becoming more and more apparent that Madero need fear little from a counter revolution ary movement. Such talk again was in the air, coupled with rumors of plots by the "Cientifico" element in Mexico City and the possibility of mishap to the Madero train when it starts southward. , Some of Madero's friends think he should take at least 200 armed men with him, but the rebel I-fader him self, scoffs at the idea, saying he will have but a civilian esco^ A pilot locomotive, it is report*- will pro ceed a kilometre or twe ahead of the Madero train to scout for dyna mite bombs or other impediment. An evidence that Madero already is working In close harmo.. j with the Provisional President, Senor De La Barra, is the frequent exchange of messages that occurred Tuesday. Senor Madero Wednesday was advis ed for instance, that an attack on Hermosillo was contemplated. The large army, which has been accumulated under Madero since the revolution began, instead of being re garded as involving future danger of anarchy, is rapidly being reviewed in another light by conservative lead ers. They look with satisfaction up on this'army once undisciplined, now much better drilled and well clad and equipped than the regu lar "Mexican troops. It Is thought a new army may be organized.

Row Started by Negro Man Refus ing to Take Off His Hafc When in Church. ? i Another fatal row has occurred at a negro church In Newberry county, Rocky Zion church just on the New berry side of the line, between New berry and Laurens counties, was the scene of a bloody pistol battle, which raged for a few minutes late Sunday evening, in which one negro was killed and four or five others were more or less seriously wounded. The shooting was the result of a fuss, which started in the church, when Henry Baxter walked into the meeting with k's hat on. One of the negroes took offence at this seeming lack of respect on Henry's part. When the difficulty arose, an adjournment was had to the grounds outside, where a number of pistols were put In action, between forty and fifty shots being fired. Henry Baxter, who had failed to j uncover when he went into the meet-| ing, was killed, and among the wounded are Jim Workman, shot in the right arm, a negro, Robinson, shot in the head, the bullet entering through the ear, and a negro wo man, whose name has not been learned, shot in the thigh. Sheriff Bufford went to the scene Sunday evening and brought back to Newberry and lodged in jail Jim Workman and Ephraim Williams. Ephraim Williams is a brother of Verge Williams, who is said to have started the fuss in the church.

D ' Bailey,'conductor on passenger train No. 27 on the Geor gia railroad, which leaves Augusta at 3:20, Eastern time, running be tween Augusta and Atlanta, was shot Monday On his train about half a mile this side of Meslna, and in turn shot his assailant, A. J. Thomp son, a well'known farmer of Warren county. Capt. Bailey was painfully, though not seriously, wounded, the 'bullet entering his leg between his hip and knee, and it is believed that A. J. Thompson, his assailant, was fatally wounded. The Bhooting arose over the re fusal of Capt. Bailey to stop the train at Mesina, a flag station four miles this side of Camack, and an argu ment resulted. Whes asked to stop Capt. Bailjey stated he coufld not make a stop without orders, and Thompson drew a gun, saylug: "You will stop this train at the muzzle of my revolver." Capt. Ba'ley knocked Thompson's hand down, throwing the muzzle of the gun from his breast, as Thomp son fired, the bullet entering Capt. Bailey's leg between the- hip and knee, Thompson then turned to run, and Capt.

TUE JACK POT STORY DEMOCRATIC LEADER MARTIN WANTS IT LOOKED IXTO. Senator La Follette Pleads for Re i-nvestlcatJon and Again 'Attuckft Lorimer in a Caustic Manner. In the Senate Tuesday before Mr. La Follette resumed his red hot speech attacking Lorimer, Senator Bristow made the first set speech in behalf of the resolution of Senator Borah for direct election of Senators. Senator Martin, the minqrlty lead er, introduced a resolution to refer the Lorimer case to the committee on privileges and elections, with a re quest that it investigate the new evi dence thoroughly and pay b^ecial at tention to the story that a "Jack pot" fund was raised to help Lori mer. The Martin resolution is under stood to represent the views of the majority of the Democratic steering committee,, which is against letting iVIr. La Follette run the whole thing. Mr. La Follette reviewed the re cfnt proceedings of the Illinois Leg islature relative to the Lorimer case. He said he was convinced that there was still more testimony to be adduced. He was sure that pub lic opinion was right in this case. In declaring that he wanted the Senate I to view Itself in the mirrow of such opinion, he held aloft a huge col lection of newspaper clippings con demning the Senate's decision in the case. Mr. LaFollette quoted the Senate's action ia the case in an effort to jus tify the demand for a reopening, con tending that the Senate, as well as other tribunals, should exerrise the privilege of reviewing its own pro ceedings. He presented a transcript of the Illinois Legislature's record in the case. He read from the testimony of Mr. Kohlsaat, of Chicago, regarding the "$100,000 Jack-pot" fund. He contended thjat many statements made by Witness Hines would be proven if the Senate reopens the case. Senator Martin's resolution goes farther than the La Follette bill as a i.iobe-into the Lorimer case. The Martin hill would leave with the committee on privileges and selec tions, the prosecution of the inquiry and delegates to it all the powers of a Court. The committee would be authorized to hold its sessions at whatever place it deemed most con . vcnient. i THE FAMILY WIPED OUT A Man, His Wife and Two Children Killed by Trolley.

CHINESE MASSACRE OVER TWO HUNDRED OF THEM MURDERED AT TORREON. Fearful Scenes Are Reported Fol lowing Mie Capture of the City by the Rebels. Reports by couriers to Mexico City Monday teil the story of a massacre of 206 Chinese at Torreon. follow ing the rebel occupation of that city last week. Upon receipt of the news at the Chinese le?ation the charge in the affairs immediately made formal representations to the Mexican Gov ernment. The details of the story of the three-days' battle and sacking of the city of Torreon is replete with inci dents of cruelty that shows thai: the rebel leaders did not hold their men in control. The official advices do not give the number of dead, but taking the 206 Chinese as a basis, it is certain that the number is larg er. The last day of the taking of the town was May 15. On that "day Gen. Lejero evacuated with his Federal forces and the rebels, glutted with two days' fighting, entered the city. Weakened as they were, they found themselves utterly unable to control the mob and reports received indi cate that scores of innocent residents were added t oth?: list of victims. A great leal of the business of Torreon is conducted by Chinese, some of whom are wealthy, and, ac cording to the reports, the rioters shot down or stabbed without mercy every Oriental encountered. That the Chinese charge d'affaires will be able to secure indemnity for many of the victims of the riot is doubted here, for it is a fact that since Sir Chentung Liang Chang visited this country, five years ago, and advised his countrymen to be come Mexican citizens, |almost all have taken- out naturalization pa pers. The Chinese at Torreon, were under arms when the rebel troops entered that city, after a three-day battle, May 15, and fired the first bullets that culminated in a concen trated attack by the insurrecto sol diers and the practical extermination of the Chinese in that city, accord Torreon Enterprise, who arrived in Eagle Pass Monday night. No Anti American sentiment was manifested by the rebels, he declared, and no foreignes other than Chinese were killed. NEGRO CUTS A WHITE MAN. Why Lynching Bees Are Resorted to by the White People. Charles Henry McLamb, a worthy white farmer, was assaulted and al most fatally cut by Smith Boykin, a burly negro, in Clinton. Mr. Mc Lamb had taken a seat in a chair on the side of the street wheje. Boy-: kin was delivering fertilizer and zer and was ordered by the negro to get out of the chair. .

The negro was promptly arrested and lodged in jail to await the re su'(;s of the injuries jinfljcfed by him before a hearing is had in the case. It looked at one time as if summary measures would be resorted to by angry friends of the injured man, but the advice of cooler heads prevailed and the law wiilfvery llkery be allowed to take its course.
