The reading waa begun In the House today of the bill for the revision and codification of the postal laws.

ELECTION TAINTED, VIEW In Statement, Member of Sub-Committee Declares lie Disagreed With Other, Who Gave IIH nols Man Clear Record. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn- Dec. 19. United States Senator Frciler. of Ten nessee, today denied he signed the re port of the sub-committee of the com mittee of privileges and elections of the Senate which found the election of Senator Lorimer. of Illinois, free from scandal. Indeed, he says, he filed a statement In which he said he believed seven of the votes cast for Lorimer In the Leg islature were tainted. It has been gen erally reported that all members of the sub-committee sljrned the report, which gave Lorimer a clear record. In speaking of the final meeting; of the sub-committee when the report-"wss signed. Senator Fraxier said: Frailer Not at Sleeting. I waa not present at this meeting, but left Washington Friday night and I understood the sub-committee made a report to the full committee and that all of the other members agreed to the report. "Before leaving; Washington I pre pared a statement of my views and conclusions, based on the evidence and law. and gave H to my secretary with Instructions to hand it to the chairman of the sub-committee, and I have no doubt he did this. In this statement I disagreed with the report of the other members of the sub-committee which exonerated the election of Lorimer from the charge of corruption. T said that in my Judgment the evi dence established that four members of the Illinois Legislature who voted for Mr. Lorimer were bribed to do so, they having confessed, and further that they were unuvu vj ........ ............... the Legislature who voted for Lorimer; and that my conclusions as set out io . . ,,m-n war. hnt there vera seven votes cast for Lorimer which were corruptee, or imnieu. ' Seven Vote Vital. "The eliminating of those seven votes would reduce Lorlmer's vote be low the number necessary for his elec tion, he having received only six more than were necessary. "I certainly did not sign the report of the sub-committee; in fact, I was not in Washington when the sub-committee had its final meeting to act upon the matter." Was your statement a minority re port?" was asked. "Well. It could hardly be called a minority report. You see the sub committee reports to the full commit tee on privileges and elections and that committee will make its report to the Senate. My statement represented my views and conclusions. .'I do not know whether the other members submitted their views, but they, of course, had the privilege. I do not know that the sub-committee's re port was signed by anyone." KARL HAGENBACH LIVES Report of Death of Animal Trainer Now Said to Be Error. CINCINNATI. O, Dec 19.

The ma jority and minority reports of the spe cial Balllnger-Plnchot investigating committee will be reported out of the House committee on agriculture with out comment. The reports were re ferred to that committee and members of the committee have "been loath to take the question, figuring that the re ports having come from a committee should have been left on the Speaker's table instead of going to another com mittee.
