WASHINGTON, July 13. Senator William Lorlmer of Illinois was ex pelled from the United States sen ate this afternoon by a rote of 55 to 28. By that overwhelming ver dict, his colleagues found him guilty of having been elected on May 24, 1909, by "corrupt methods and prac tices." With Lorlmer's dramatic assertion that his expulsion would be the "crime of the senate," his colleagues voted nearly two to one to oust him as a beneficiary of fraud, Lorlmer did not vote on his own case, but his aged colleague, Senator Cullom of Illinois, turned against him after having formerly voted to keep him In the senate. With a smile on his face, Lorlmer arose from his seat and with a swing ing gait, walked toward the republi can cloakroom. As he reached the door, Senator Smoot grasped his hand and some friends from the house joined him. Senators Dilling ham, Jones and others who voted for Lorlmer joined him in the c!oa'; room and bade him goodbye. Three senators ere absent. era! were "paired vote. Culberson of Texas originally voted to oust Lorlmer and then, be ing paired with DuPont of Delaware, who was absent, withdrew his vo-.- Lorlmer's ejection followed a three days' speech by the senator, dram atic and replete with inve tive for his opponents. Lorlmer's fight for his official lfa began almost immediately after his election. Just before the Lorlmer vote S-:.-ator Tillman, feeble and wan. ob tained permission to have the clerk read a statement whl'h he said V was too weak to read: "I realize now- that I have but a little time before I must meet my maker," the statement declared. I cast my vote today secure In the con viction that Senator Lorlmer wa., elected without fraud." Tillman's eyes were red with tears as his testimonial was read. Lorlmer emphatically refused to see newspaper men after his defeat.

The association, af jter considering ways and means, adopted the following resolutions 'bearing upon the subject: : Whereas, The number of trained teachers for the schools of Oregon Is I decreasing, the ranks when filled coming almost exclusively from other states, and Whereas, Southern Oregon Is par ticularly suffering from a dearth of I normal trained teachers, and Whereas. The school boards and superintendents of schools are ran sacking foreign territory to meet this demand for trained teachers, and Whereas, There Is no higher edu cational Institution nearer the Rogue river valley Uan 250 miles and no normal school uearer than 300 miles, and Whereas, Such of our young men and women as seek normal school education are finding It In California and adjoining normal schools, where they become enlisted and are lost to Oregon forever, and Whereas, The people of Southern Oregon gave a majority of 5,000 votes for the Southern Oregon insti tution, and Whereas, The one normal school now established Is pitifully Inade quate to perform the duty of supply Ing teachers for the entire state, Therefore be It Resolved, That It Is the sense of the Aiumnl assocla tlon of the Southern Oregon State Normal school now assembled, that the Institution should be re-opened by the people, and In the Interests of the people of the state. Be It Resolved, That the splendid normal school property now Idle con tinue to be held In trust by the Btate of Oregon until that time now fast approaching when through pressure of public necessity this school, which has been established for many years, will be re-opened.
