The third sen sational congressional Investigation j authorized" at the last session of con gress will begin on September lo, when the senate committee on privileges and elections, of which senator Julius Cea- sar Burrows of Michigan, is chairman, will meet in this city for the purpose of investigating the wholesale bribery , charges in connection with the election of senator William Lorlmer of Illinois, to the United States senate. The Ballinger-Pinchot investigation and the Gore inquiry into the sale of indian lands in Oklahoma, have both occupied the attention of congressional committees, and have developed some sensational testimony. It is not be lieved, however, that the Lorimer in quiry will be devoid of sensations. The fact that Lee O'Xeil Browne, the Democratic leader in the Illinois legis lature, has been on trial charged with bribing members of the legislature to vote for Lorimer, has intensified the interest in the investigation. Charges that senator Lorimer, better known as the "Blonde Boss,' had been elected to tne Lntied States senate ,,., ,,,, via -iiniocaif hrihprv nnd cor ruption of Illinois state senators and representatives, were first flung to the world on June 30. Since then there have followed wholesale indictments of men who are alleged to have paid the bribe money in the Interests of senator Lorimer. of men who accepted it and of the decision of the United States senate to investigate the charges thoroughly to determine if the junior j senator from Illinois should be allowed to longer grace tnat august Douy wnn his presnee.

Lorimer was contest had been in a hopeless dead lock for days with the legislators de- termined not to elect Albert J. Hop- trine tr nnnMipr tprm i7 the United ! States senate. Finally Lorimer stepped in on the scene, afiter governor Deneen had re- i fused to be a candidate, and was elect ed over Honkins by the aid of votes ! recruited from the ranks of the Demo crats. After Lorimer had taken his seat in Washington and everything appeared to have settled back to a normal calm, came the "confession" of representa tive Charles A. White. White plunged into his story with a vengeance and within a few weeks al most every politician in Illinois was mixed up in the bribery scandal in some way or other.
