PRESIDENT TAKES WALK
IN THE BURNING HEAT
Rides Eighteen Miles into the Country
and Walks Back Thirteen,
Meeting Carriage.

ACCOMPANIED by his son. Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., and two of his young
friends, the President yesterday after
noon rode out eighteen miles in an auto
mobile and walked back thirteen miles
along the same road. Neither the heat
nor the dust deferred the President. He
did not stroll along as most persons
would on a hot afternoon. On the con-
trary every yard he covered was taken
at lively gait, and wheI> his carriage
picked him up outside the city limits
ne and his companions were pretty well
tired out
The President and those who went
with him. left the White House between
3 and O'Clock in an automobile waich
took them out to Great Falls There
they got out and started back TO Wash
ington On foot. The road the President
took lies along the Chesapea ke and
Ohio Canal passing over Cabin John
Bridge and It Glen Echo and Chain
Bridge. thence to Georgetown The
White House party was picked up by
the Presidents carriage at Chain Bridge
and driven homo.
1t was about 5 O'Clock when they left
the automobile for their walk and after
dark when they reached the Chain
Bridge. 1t was $3.50 when the President
and hts party reached the White
House.

Apathy sums up the condition OF the
market on Saturday, both here and at
London. Trading dwindled to such
low ebb that the transactions in many
of the normally active issues were con-
fined to a few hundred shares, while
not few securities that are usually
credited in the total of the days bust

appear upon the tape at all. Absolute
as WAS the prostration of the market,
it is impossible to assign any share
in its creation to the unexpectedly un-
favorable bank statement, for the char
acter of the trading during the final
hour, after the statement reached the

as he should have done, as he was paid
with these people by which some Of this
money should come back to him."
Mr.. Keigwin then took up some of
the questionable actions OF Crawford,
Lorenz sent TO him out of the first pay
ment.
why did he take so much trouble to
conceal this transaction IL he was not
guilty?" asked Mr.. Keigwin.
Three Unanswered Questions.
He said that three questions had been
asked Crawford which he had not ex-
planned These Were:
% why did you take Lorenz in with
your"
q, Why did he pay you % per cent
OF his share?'
90 When and where did Crawford
make an accounting to his company"
These questions he described as sore
spots, which Mr.. Worthington had
avoided as much as possible. He sat2
that Crawford was not put upon the
stand to explain these things. but TO
show what a wise young man, what a
bright young man he was, with an ever
ready explanation on his lips.
During the opening Of KeiSwin's ar
gument Crawford was busy writing, but
when the speaker grew sarcastic and
severe, he stopped and with set face
listened 10 every WOrU.
Beach Follows Keigwin
District Attorney Beach followed Mr.
Keigrwin and began by touching upon
the previous intimate relations OF Mach
en- and Crawford. He referred to let
ter written to Machen in 1885, and to
the note which Crawford had Spencer
Trask cash for Machen-
He argued pegamoid to Machen in
1884, said Mr. Beach.
Il merely want to show you that Ma
chen and Crawford We're not utter
strangers.
Mr. Beach also touched upon the
bearer draft, and Crawford's suspicious
actions in that regard, which he char
acterized as 'damning."
No Malice Against Crawford.
The speaker said that he would pass
unnoticed the reflections cast by Mr.
Worthington upon the conduct of the
District Attorneys office and that he
had no malice or yindictiveness against
Crawford
1T isn't that I want to bring shame
and disgrace upon this young man. but
1t does seem to me that. high or low.
rich or poor we can't let this canker Of
graft go unrebuked Is this young man
in this whack-up? Is ne in this steal or
Is he not?"
Mr.. Beach said that the Govern
ment's theory was that Machen and
Crawford arranged the deal before the
contract was let; that Machen and
Crawford were the principal parties and
that LorenZ was the middle man
Mr.. Beach closed lis argument at
l2:10, eight minutes less than the hour
allotted to him This time will be given
to Major Conrad. If he wants it.
