defending them. Early last night young

cerning the alleged leak" He will con-

Secretary Wilson today stated that he had
no additional informat tiOn in relation to the
developments of the investigation in his de-

officers every facility to ascertain the facts
in connection with the charges that have
been placed in their hands for their investi-

almost daily.
The secret service makes occasional re-
ports to the Secretary concerning any facts
they may have discovered, but while they
evolve various theories for their own quad
ance at times, nothing Is ever reported other
than bare facts. The secret service will not
make written report until the entire in
vestigation has been completed.

10 serve two years and pay fine of $40 600
Lorenz will probably accompany the next
batch of District prisoners, which Warden
Harris expects to send to Moundsville imme-
diately on the adjournment of the criminal
courts. 1t is likely that the trip will be
made late Monday afternoon.
AT the convening of Criminal Court No 1
this morning District Attorney Morgan II,
Beach announced to the court that Lorenz
was present and asked that an order be
issued for the removal Of Lorenz to the
penitentiary. This action set at rest the
rumor which was several times referred to
during the Crawford trial that in return for
the evidence given by Lorenz in behalf Of
the government at that trial he would re-
celve immunity from sentence.
AT the time the United States Supreme
Court denied the writS of certiorari in
the Machen- -LorenZ- Croft case and Ma
chen and the Groff brothers surrendered
themselves and were transported to
4uouHuSVllle, LOrenZ was COnnned to his
home In Toledo, Ohio, by illness. When
he recovered the government had decided
! to bring Machen back from MoundsvilIe
and put on trial the Crawford -Lorenz-
Machen> conspiracy case, so Lorenz was
allowed to stay at his home in the Gus
| tody of his bondsmen until the trial was
called.
Lorenz as Witness.
At the Crawford trial Lorenz testified
to the existence of an agreement to di-
vide the proceeds from contract with
the government in relation to carriers
satchels. Machen entered plea of guilty
and received a sentence of two years ad-
dftional in the penitentiary. After a trial
OF five weeks the jury was unable to
agree to the guilt or innocence of
Crawford.
Lorenz will not be required to plead to
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. wferd Indictment
before going to Moundsville. but will
probably be called upon to plead If he IS
brought back to testify In a retrial of
the Crawford case. This was the pro-
ceeding determined by District Attorney
Beach, but, as he remarked today, may
be changed by his successor. as his resig-
nation will have taken effect before the
convening of the fall term of court.

Hay RESTING QUIETLY
THE SECRETARY PASS
ED A COMFORTABLE NIGHT.

NEWBURY. N. H., June 27.-The an
ncuncement today from the summer home
OF Secretary of State John Hay was that
the patient had passed comfortable night
and that the morning found him resting
quietly, much refreshed from the night S
sleep. Although Mr.. Hays sleep was but
Intermittent. his repose resulted in the re-
gaining of considerable strength. II was
not believed, however, that the Secretary
would be about as soon as had been antici-
pated.
The arrival Of nurse and of physician
DR. jackson, from Boston. during the night.
was result of the belief that the Secre-
tary would undoubtedly need the most
careful nursing and medical attention dur
Ing the coming days.
The family does not however, apIrehend
any danger whatsoever from Mr.. Hays Ill
ness. but they realize that the attack of
uraemia of Saturday, following as 1t did a
period of Illness for which Mr.. Hay went
abroad for treatment weakened the Sec
retary's physical power and neceSsitated at
least that he remain quietly in bed for sew
eral days.
During the night and morning a number
OF telegraphic messages arrived from
friends, inquiring as to the condition of the
patient and expressing the hope of imme-
date return to health.
Telegram From President.
Among the kilograms received was the
following from President Roosevelt:
white House, Washington.
ITO Mrs. John Hay: 1 cannot but be
concerned about your telegram but am en-
tirely confident that the trouble is but
evanescent.
(Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
At II o'clock 1t was stated at the Fells,
Secretary Hays home, that the Secretary
was decidedly better today than he was
yesterday.

not be granted If 1t were presented to them.
IL Is possible that Daily may be granted
his diploma in future years, but there are
no chances for obtaining II with his class
and get his diploma tomorrow. as the fac

OF his going back 10 the crew and rowing
