Senatorial Committeemen Pre

(By th lofornatlonil News SfTtc.
Washington. Jan. 6. The members of
the senatorial committee that has been
Investigating the scandals connected
with the election of Senator William
Larimer of Illinois have all returned to
Washington from the Christmas holiday
vacations. The committee will meet to
morrow morning, when It Is expected
that Lorlmer himself will be called to
the witness stand for examination. Of
ficial Washington Is preparing Itself
for new revelations in the case, which
has been dragging along since Inst
spring, as It is hinted that, the testi
mony of the "blond boss ' In his own
behalf will be of a nature entirely un
expected by his accusers.
There are all sorts. of rumors regard-
npr Lorlmer s testimony In las own be
half, and It Is now hinted that a num
ber of men, prominent in Chicago busi
ness and 'social circles, whose names
heretofore have not been mentioned in
connection, with the case will be named
by the Illinois senator as having had
something to do with the charges,
which he claims have been trumped up
against him. v ,
The members of the committee nope
to complete the taking of testimony
within the next week or two. This will
be good news to those who have been
displeased by the way the case has been
dragging along since the convening of
the special session of congress last
spring, when tha senate passed a reso
lution ordering a second Investigation,
as new evidence had been secured since
the exoneration of the Illlnoisan In the
first Investigation.

cil for HIS at six mills. A material
decrease over previous levies, as the
levy fer 1011 was 12 mills and the levy

ficient fund with licenses to be paid
