ACQUITTED ON GROUNDS
. OF LACK OF PROOF
Existence of Bribery Admitted but
Not Brought to Lorimcr's
Door Personally.
WASHINGTON, I). C. March 1.
William 1-orlinor, senator from Ill
inois, was exonerated of the charge
that he was Irregularly anil corrupt
ly elected by a voto in the United
States sonato today. Forty-six votes
wore cast against the resolution that
the sonato declare Lorimcr's seat
vacant. Forty senators voted thnt in
tliPlr opinion ho was corruptly.
The -victory of Loriiner ends one
of the inogt remarkable political
fights or the United States. For many
weeks the Issue has been before the
sonato and the "Blonde Boss of Chi
cago" has been flayed ns bitterly as
any man over before the public.
,Tlio vindication of Lorlmcr was
made possiblo only by an agreement
reached lato yestorday after a fili
buster which threatened to consume
the remainder of tho session.
Generally the chargo against Loii
mer was that he hud corrupt know
lodge of and in fact, was ho Instigator
of a bribery plot through which demo
crat In tho Illinois loglslaturo broke
a long continuod deadlock and elected
him senator after his nnmo had been
coiiBidorod only twenty-four hours.
Representatives Wilson, White and
Link and State Senators Holtslaw and
Rrodorlck confessed to having been
bribed.
Senator McCumbor of North Da
kota endeavored to get a rule Hmlt-
lug tho speeches to fifteen minutes
each but was unsuccessful. Senator
Owen of Oklahoma opened the do
bate for the senators opposed to Lorl
mor. Ho donounced the Illinois sen
ator for his failure to appear bofore
the Investigating committee, and read
a long telegram from Governor Do
noen denying tho statements mnde
by l.orimer to tho sonato.
On a motion to declaro Lorimcr's

Fourteen Years in Prison for Brib

SAN FHANCISOO, Cal., March 1.
Just before noon Judge Lawlor

of execution.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 1.
Abraham Huef, former political
boss of Snn Francisco, sentenced to
14 years in prison for bribery, in a
cell in Ihe county jail today planned
a last fight against serving his pen
itentiary sentence. His case will be
carried to the United States supreme
court. Huef reached this decision
after the state supreme court re
versed its order granting him a 10
henring, and declared it had no fur
ther jurisdiction in the matter, leav
ing the decision of the state appel
late court sustaining the finding of
the trial court as the final action that
can bo taken by California judges.
Just what his plans are the former
boss did not say but declared a con
sultation with Attorneys, Ach, Cro&s
and Ivoan would be held and stops
would he taken toward a final nppcnl
in tho case.
Court Reverse Itself.
After tho supreme court acted,
Huef was notified, as were his at
torneys of the final action, which
was virlunlly a reversal of thoir own
ruling by the supremo justices. Huef
and his counsel hold a nasty confer
ence and later the former boos noti
fied the sheriff that ho was ready
to go to a cell.
Kiiof wont first to his homo and
broke the news to his family. It was
not until aflor midnight that the
doputy sheriff's finally met him there
and took him to jail.
Huof rose early today. Ho seemed
rofroshed nnd said ho had pased a
restful night. He was more cheerful
than whon ho had entered his cell a
fow hours earlier.
Ituef Prepared.
"I am prepared for theinevitahle,"
ho said, "though thecr is still an
other movo or two to ho made. 1 ex

court of tho United States at (dice.
"While I am prepared to accept my

of a technicality in the defendant's
I'tiso as in the case of the state."
"Wo will take Huef over to prison
just ns soon as his personal affairs
aro straightened out," said Under
sheriff Hamilton. "Hvory prisoner
gels that much consideration half
a day or a' day, may ho two days
when he has a lot of litigation to dis
