Wisconsin Senator Stephenson Cleared by Heyburn Panel
The Heyburn subcommittee unanimously found no proof of corruption or bribery against Wisconsin Senator Isaac Stephenson in relation to his election. Taft said the U S unlikely to deploy troops to Cuba after talks in Washington and Havana. The Lorimer investigation has cost $140,000 to date with $80,000 from the Senate contingent fund and $60,000 from Lorimer’s private resources. Independent manufacturers claim stockholders in several trusts control International Harvester, while the Justice Department faced accusations of hamstringing prosecutions. A bill to aid agricultural colleges and bolster their endowment drew broad interest from farmers nationwide. Urban A Walters of Denver presented charges that the Post Office paid $1,000,000 for substandard railway mail cars before a House reform committee.
