WASHINGTON. May 22. An Immedi
ate Investigation, of sweeping scope,
of the charges that Senator Lorlmer,
of Illinois. Is not entitled to his seat
Is provided for in two resolutions called
up by Dillingham and La Folletts In
the Senate today.
La Follette called up his resolution
and made a speech arraigning the Illi
nois Senator, whom he charged with
personal knowledge of the spending of
money in behalf of his election.
Both the Iemocratlc steering com
mittee and the Republican members of
the committee en privileges and elec

lingham, chairman of the election com
mittee, presented his resolution of in
quiry as a substitute for the La Fol

Democrats for Dillingham.
The La Follette measure provides for
a renewed Inquiry by a special com
mittee, while the Dillingham measure
directs the committee on privileges and
elections to make It. The Democratic
Senators will support the Dillingham
resolution. It Is likely the elections

gate through a sub-committee to be
chosen from Its own members, but af

La Follette. who waa apparently sur-

counts upon several progressives to
support his resolution. Dillingham's
resolution provides that the committee
on privileges and elections shall sit
during sessions and recesses of Con
gress at any place It deems most con
venient. It also shall have the power
to employ counsel, - accountants and
clerks, and to summon witnesses. The
expenses are to be paid from the con
tingent fund of the Senate.
Former Inquiry Incomplete.
La Follette'a speech was a plea for
a reinvestigation, because of recent de
velopments and because of revelations
during last session's Investigation. He
delivered only half of his speech today,
dealing exclusively with the previous
inquiry, and will conclude tomorrow
with a discussion of later developments.
La Follette reviewed the Lorlmer

CANTON. O.. May 22. (Special.) The
airing of charges of heresy against Rev.
Paul Eblnger, pastor of the Tallomook
Reform Church ,and a member of the
Portland, Or., classis.. accompanied by a
sharp tilt between delegates represent
ing the Portland classls and those from
the Northwestern Synod, enlivened the
meeting of the General Synod of the
Reformed Church here this afternoon.
It Is alleged that Rev. Mr. Ebinger
said to his congregation that the word
of God waa contained in the Bible, but
that not everything in the Bible was
the word of God. Also, that In a sermon
he expressed doubt aa to whether Moses
wrote the ten commandments. Another
complaint is that he said that while the
Israelites left Egypt to be sent to the
Promised Land, few of them ever got
there.
The Synod referred the charges to the
judicial committee, which asked for the
minutes of the Portland classls contain
ing the charges. The Northwestern
Synod representatives, who had brought
the subject before the Synod alter hav
ing declined to act on It, said that the
classls delegates had the minutes. The
delegates denied It, a lively discussion
followed, in the midst of which one of
the delegates produced the minutes. The
Synod will act on the charge before ad

EAGLE PASS. Tex, May 22. The
Chinese at Torreon, Mexico, were under
arms when the rebel troops entered
that city after a three-day battle May
IS, and fired the first shots that cul
minated in a concentrated attack by
the lnsurrecto soldiers and the prac
tical extermination of the Chinese col
ony, according to W. T. Lampo, editor
of the Torreon Enterprise, who arrived
here tonight.
No anti-American sentiment was
manifested by the revolutionists, Lam
po says, and no foreigners other than
Chinese were killed.
Dr. J. C Llm, a Chinese physician,
who is In charge of his country's af
fairs at Torreon, counted 240 bodies In
the Chinese colony, Mr. Lampo states.
Besides Chlneses, 26 rebels, 15 federals'
and 34 noncombatants were killed In
the three days' fighting that preceded
the evacuation by the federal troops.
MEXICO CITY, May 2i. Unofficial
reports reaching hero today tell the
story of a massacre of 206 Chinese
at Torreon, following the rebel occu
pation last week. Upon receipt of the
news the Chinese Charge d'Affalrs
made formal representations to the
Mexican government.
The details of the three-day battle
and sacking of Torreon are replete
with Incidents of cruelty that show
clearly that the rebel leaders did not
hold their men In control, or else de
liberately turned them loose to prey
upon a conquered and defenseless peo
pl. 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 large.
The last day of the battle was May
IS. On that day General Lejoro re
tired with his federal forces and the
rebels entered the city. Citizens found
themselves utterly unable to control
the mob and reports Indicate that
scores of innocent residents were vic
tims. Chinese Slain Without Mercy.
Always antagonistic to the yellow
race, the rebels and mobs engaged in
a race riot. A great part of the busi
ness of Torreon is conducted by Chi
nese, some of whom are wealthy and,
according to reports, the rioters shot
down or stabbed them without mercy.
That the Chinese Charge d'Affalrs will
be able to secure Indemnity for many
of the victims is doubted here, for it
Is a fact that since Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng visited this country five years
ago and advised his countrymen to
become Mexican citizens, almost all
have taken out naturalization papers.
Minister of Foreign Relations de La
Barra had not received tonight any
any word from Dr. Carbajal that F.
L Madero had finally approved the
cabinet as suggested. So soon as Ma
dera's acceptance is received, it may
be assumed that President Diax will
present his resignation to the Chamber
of Deputies.
Diax to Quit May 24.
On the assumption that Ms accept
ance will be made within the next 24
hours, it has been practically agred
that it will he made public May 24.
No effort Is made o disguise the
fact that General Dlas will leave the
country at an early date. It is ex
pected he will spend several months
visiting Europe, and It is reported that
a passage baa been arranged on one of
the steamers of a French line.
On notification that peace had been
agreed to, the management of the Na
tional .Railways began the work of re
constructing their lines. It was said
officially tonight the Mexican Central
would he open" to traffic within 10 days
and that the International between
T6rreon and Cludad Porflrio Dlaa
would be open perhaps, within three
days. The number of kilometers of the
National Railways put -out of commis
sion by the rebels is estimate at 3979.
All Glad Peace Is Made.
Although the public manifested ap
proval at the signing of the peace
agreement, there was no enthusiasm.
Business men expressed the keenest
satisfaction over the successful termi
nation of the war, which has cost the
country so many millloas of pesos.
They see In the immediate future a
