Ald rlch of Rhode c Island today flatly contradicted, at .the Lortmer Investigation, the story, by Edward Hlnes of Chicago that Aldrlch asked him to urge Lorimer to become a senatorial candidate and sent word to Governor Deneen tnat President Taft had expressed the belief, that Lorimer could be elected and was the most available man. , George M. . Reynolds, ' president of , the Continental - Commercial bank of Chicago, who was re ported to have declined the treasury portfolio In the Taft admin istration, told the senate Lorimer committee what he knew of Edward Hlnes delivering an alleged message ' from. the administration at Washing ton to Governor Deneen to aid Lori mer'a election. . He recited how Hlnes on the day of Lorlmer's election con sulted with him as to how to deliver the message to Deneen. "Hlnes came to me that morning" (May 2S),. said Reynolds, "and said he bore a. mes sage that would have an Important bearing on Illinois politics; . that it came directly from Senator Aldrlch . and In reality from the administra tion or President Taft and was to '" Governor Deneen. .

"He told me In substance that there """"tjad bew utriiifpmw of Some lead,- in senators in Washington and be had ' been commissioned to take' a message which was In effect that the senators and the president bad ex- nreaeed a desire to have a senator elected from Illinois and that they ' preferred to have Lorimer elected to having the legislature adjourn with out an election." Reynolds said he suggested to Hlnes ttiat he telephone Deneen. Hlnes replied Reynolds might hav tn identify him to Deneen but he did not call upon him to do so. Reynolds said Hlnes told him that a night or so before he had waited at Aldrlch'm' home until he returned from the White House, where he had gone to discuss Lorlmer's candidacy.

' Senator Dixon was born In North Carolina. He asserted In the senate Tuesday that histories were all wrong about the charge of Ficketts "Vir ginians" and that there were more North Carollnaians In the famous charge. Today Senator Martin cited histor ies to show that Pickett's troops were Virginians. Dixon replied with cita tions showing that they were backed up by 16 North Carolina regiments. Plxon said "North Carolina was first at Bethel, last at Appomattox - and farthest at Gettysburg." Martin said he thought he could say the same thing of the Virginia Confederates.
