in the Borden Case.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 29.-The testi-
mony brought out in the Lizzie Borden
hearing to-day caused a change OF opinion
among her friends, who have heretofore
stoutly maintained her innocence. They
consider that the strongest evidence against
her to be that of Mrs. Addie Churchill. a
neighbor whom she has known and loved
from childhood. Mrs. Churchill stated
positively that Mrs. Borden's room door
was opened when she and Bridget sullivan
trst discovered the body of the murdered
woman. Ii has already been stated that Liz
zie Borden was in the hallway near the open
door when Bridget Sullivan was opening
the front door, at 80 o'clock. Again, Mrs
Churchill stated positively that Lizzie told
her that Mrs. Borden had received a note
TO call on sick friend, but il has not vet
been proved that any person in this city or
elsewhere sent such a note, or that Mrs,
Borden left the house at auy time during
the day. Like all the rest of the witnesses
1or the Government, she failed TO find any
traces OF blood on Miss LiZZie's clothing or
person. During the testimony the prisoner

SILVER LEGISLATION.
Representative Harter Thinks Their L. I'm

Representative Harter Thinks There .. I'm
mediate Need for IL.
Mr.. Harter Of Ohio is not satisfied with de-
featng the free silver bill at the last session Of
Congress, but now intends 20 follow up his ad-
vantage and secure further legislation # pos
sible. To STAR reporter he said he could not
answer the question, what chances there are
for silver legislation at this session but
do know" he said, ''ihAt there is urgent need
for it,"
In reply TO q query he remarked: II believe
the international monetary conference viii be a
failure. 1t viii agree 70 nothing. ThIs j. the
opinion | held when IL WAS authorized. and
have had no reason 20 change it In reference
TO an extra session Mr.. Harter said he thought
the reporter was as well Informed himself
and refused 10 discuss the question.
Yesterday Mr.. Hsrter introduced a bill. which
Is novel one from n financial standpoint. IL
provides for the cessation OF silver bullion pur-
chases on January I, 1928. and for tho sale Of
10000, 600 ounces of silver bullion for gold.
Mr.. Hartcr thinks the continuance Of silver
purchases would only increase the ultimate enor-
nous losses Of the country growing ont OF the
act of March, 1878: that these purchases were de-
stroying confidence at home and abroad. and
stand in the pathway Of national prosperity
today. The cessation Of these purchases Of
silver would, he thinks. cause n renewal OF for
eIgn purchases Of American securities Upon a
large scale. The repeal Of the prescott Law
would start gold from Europe toward America.
Today Mr.. Harter introduced new barking
bill Ii provides for the continuance Of the
present banking system and relieves the banks
OF the 10 per cent state tax under certain con-
ditions.
A similar measure wns before the committee
on banking and currency last session. This
one however removes the objections which
that bill contained and Mr.. Harter thinks 1t
viii meet with general approval
