ENGLAND MUST RESIST
ALLIANCE WITH GERMANY
Joseph Chamberlain Could Have Formed
Government OF Greater Strength
Capacity Than BaIfour--lntcrest Of
Empire SO Complicated That Broad,
Forceful Man Is Needed as Premier
lBY ASSOCIATED pREss.1

London, July Io.--Cabinct making is the
absorbing subject Of discussion here. Dur
ing the week the public was rcgalcd with
more or less shrewd prophecies, but no in
timations were given out by the inner circle
OF the intentions of the premier, A. !.
Baliour regarding the successors Of the
ministers, who have already resigned, or AS
to how far the changes in the ministry NAV
be expected 10 extend
II is undcniable that a very large section
OF the conservatives and libcral-unionists
are strongly dissatisfied with the ministry
as at present constructed and it is appar-
ent that in spite Of all the parliamentary
culogies of Mr.. Balfour, many unioni-.s
believe that government Of greater
strength and capacity could have been
established with Joseph Chamberlain, the
colonial secretary, as leader.
The opinion is freely expressed on all
sidcs by unionists, as well as the liberals,
that the interests OF the empire are so COM
plIcated that they are sorcly in need of the
oversight OF a man Of broader and more
forceful powers.
The appointment OF Mr.. Chamberlain to
the premiership would have been received
with cold disfayor by the opposition, and
Wouio nave Deen red rag TO the anglo
phobes but, nevertheless, there is a multi
tude OF government supporters who would
be glad to have him as chief, and the Asso-
ciatcd Press is informed from sources of
undonbted authenticity that Mr.. Chamber
lain's claim to the premiership would have
been recognized as being better than Mr..
Balfour's had he not, whenever occasion
presented itself, urged Mr.. Balfours suc-
cession against his own.
One important and strong point OF the
late administration which has not yet be-
come generally known and appreciated
and which it is feared Mr.. Balfour will
not fully inherit, was Lord Salsbury's
persistent resistance to Emperor Williams
efforts to entanglc Great Britain in an alli-
ance with Germany. These efforts have
been made at intervals since 1905 and are
likely to be renewed now that Lord Sails
bury has retired.
The chief immediate cause Of apprehen-
sion, however, is that Mr.. Balfour will
be unwilling to either radically reduce the
size of the unwieldy cabinet, now num-
berng 10, or make sweeping changes in
it, Nowhere Is its reconstruction more
earnestly urged than among the conscrva-
tivcs themselves some of whom profess
to fear that unless the ministry is
strengthened its support in the house Of
commons will rapidly dwindle.

VERDICT OF JURY
IN LENN0X CASE
DESPITE CONFESSION, HE is FOUND
EQUALLY CULPABLE WITH HIS
PARTNER, JAMES MARTIN.

Charles Lennox was found guilty this
afternoon of murder in the first degree.
The verdict was brought in by the jury
hearing the case in Judge McClernan's
court, at o'clock this afternoon.
Lennox was unaffected by the verdict
so far as outward appearances go. He
smiled at the remark of his attorney and
coolly turned to the deputy sheriff in
whose custody he was, to ask for match
for his cigar, which he smoked on the
way back to the Jail.
This was the full verdict, signed by John
]. Green as foreman:
1--WE, the jury in the above entitled cause
find the defendant, Charles Lennox, guilty
of murder in the first degree and leave
the punishment to be fixed by the court
Attorney Kremer asked for a poll of
the jury. After the roll call Mr.. Kremer
asked that an inquiry be made into the
concluding words of the verdict which he
thought should find difference of opinion
among the jurors, inasmuch as the pun
ishment was left to the court.
No Doubt About Punishment.
II don't think there is any doubt about
it," said Judge McClernan. There is only
one punishment"
At this intimation of the fate overhang-
ing him Lennox turned squarely to the
court and smiled. Attorney Kremer took
exceptions to the ruling. The special
veniremen serving on the jury were dis
charged with the thanks of the court.
1t is understood tnat the first move by
Attorney Krcmer will be petition to the
governor asking for commutation of the
sentence. The court set no time for the
passing of sentence on Lennox, and the
convicted murderer was walked back to the
county jail
The jury retired at 80 o'clock follow
ing the conclusion of County Attorney
Breen's able speech Judge McClernan did
not wait, but gave instructions that the
jurors should be provided with their lunch
con as soon as they had gone over the in
structions.
There were several dramatic scenes in
Judge McClernan's court during the morn
ing session today. Spectators were at
tracted in goodly numbers by the informa-

At this time Mr. Evans was approached
by McGeary, who engaged him in conver-
sation. Mr.. Repah did not wait but
started for the office.
As he left he heard Mr.. Evans say to
McGeary. "You will have to see Mr..
Estabrook, superintendent OF the concen-
traitors, about that have nothing to do
with it,
That was as much as reached Mr..
Rcpath's ears before he passed out Of
hearing.
Heard the Shot,
A few moments afterwards a shot was
heard and McGeary was seen running
down the hill with smoking revolver in
his hand and Mr.. Evans was lying on the
ground groaning aloud and in a pool of
blood
As soon as the alarm was given the
workmen near by and the occupants Of the
general Office rushed forth and some of
them went to Mr.. Evans assistance while
some OF them started in pursuit of the
assassin
Two rifle shots induced the latter to halt
and surrender to Doc Emerson, iimckccper,
and another gentleman who was with him.

Mr.. Eugene Carusi Captured First
Honors by Good Playing.

The handicap tournament at the Column
bia Golf Club Saturday was very inter-
esting affair and demonstrated that the
members of that organization are well pre-
pared for the approaching fall contest.
Eighteen holes were played over and ma
jority of the players turned in scores Of
unusual excellence. Mr.. Eugene Carusi
made the round in IS, and, having handi-
cap OF IL, secured the best net score Of 70,
winning the prize by two strokes, his near
est neighbors, Duvall and Bennett, being IS.
Mr.. Carusi Is one Of the most enthusiastic
golfers In the District and he was heartily
Congratulated over his success.
The work Of DIR. Lee Harlan was watched
with interest and after he had handed in
his card It was found that he had gone the
round in 81, but one stroke over DOGGY.
Doctor Harlan will again act as captain of
the Columbia team, and the play Of Satur-
day will give him line on the men he will
need for the matches in contemplation for
this fall.
The weather was not the best, the rains Of
Friday night and Saturday morning max
ing the course slippery, and the atmosphere
murky, but notwithstanding the play Of all
