not since the speech OF Senator Foraker
criticising the President The Pesident
was then told that as a lawyer the Wis
consin Senator could not agree with him
as to that part OF his order which de-
prived the discharged men Of their right
TO be employed in the civil service Of the
government and the Senator frankly
stated that he was not entirely satisfied
that the President had the power TO d.
rect the wholesale discharge Of the bat
talon.
On the ethical side Of the affair. Senator
SpOOner speaks very frankly but does
not desire 10 make any formal OutgiYing
about it. In common with Senator For
aker and others he feels that a great In
justice has been done many good soldiers,
and. having been a soldier himself, he
sympathizes keenly with the men. When
some one asked him what he would have
done If he had had to act il the case, he
said that the old maxim would appeal
to him that it was better TO let ninety
and nine bad men escape rather than
that injustice should be done to one in
nocent man.
Is Studying the Case.
Senator Spooner said that he was study
ing the law and the facts Of the case for
=
has not formed his final judgment. That
he Will speak on the Foraker resolution
and Will urge that justice be done the in
nocent men Of the Twenty-ffth Infantry
is clear In common with many other
Senators, Mr. Spooner believes that the
Foraker resolution will be adopted. There
is great doubt in the minds Of these Sena-
tors as to what remedy can be employed
TO correct the injustice that they think
has been done the innocent men Of the
discharged battalion. There is no support
for the idea Of proposing a single bin TO
reinstate the men. Individual bills for
that purpose may be suggested, as the
cases of different men are set forth by the
investigation. Already there is much sym
pathy for Sergt. MingO Sanders. and IL his
appeal for justice stood alone no doubt be
would be readily rehabilitated by a spe-
cial act. The opinion prevails that event
ualIy he may be reinstated without any
Congressional action.
Some Senators expect that the essential
aspects OF the case will be changed by the
new evidence that is being sought under
the Presidents orders. The matter will be
an anomalous one when the Senate comes
is that the evidence in the case has been
put in, the verdict rendered, and judg-
ment pronounced, and now an appeal is
asked and wholly new evidence is brought
into the court Of appeals 10 be taken into
account in the decision on appeal.
Taft Not Opposed.
It is stated on good authority that the
prospect Of an Investigation is thoroughly
gratifying 10 Secretary Taft. He viii
place no barriers in the way Of giving the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs all
the information AZ his command The
Secretary is understood to be DESTROYS Of
appearing before the committee in person
for the purpose Of making a frank state
ment Of his own views on the case and
explaining how ne came TO countermand
the order for the discharge Of the men
and later revoked that order and directed
that the Presidents decision in the mat
ter be carried out

LETTERS GIVE CLEW
Anonymous Notes from Girl
Basis for Murder Theory.
DEATH OF LEE BEING PROBED
Police Declare Sons for Chicago
millionaire Fear Loss of Insurance.
Identity OF Woman Who Claims to
Have witnessed Accident Not Re-
veaIed-Garage Owners In Denial.

Chicago, Dec. 26,-on the strength of
anonymous letters declaring that L. j.
Lee. the millionaire advertising agent
whose body was found floating in the
lake December Il, was run down by an
automobile and then thrown into the
water and drowned TO hide the accident,
a desperate effort was made at the in
quest to-day TO learn the identity of the
accused autoists
The murder theory is that of Lees two
sons, who say they have met the young
woman who wrote the letters. but are
compelled to hide her identity to save
her from notoriety. The police maintain
that the Lee brothers are trying to make
out a murder case that they may not
lose the insurance on their fathers life
which is uncoIlectable If he committed
suicide.
Garage Owners at Inquest.
Charles f. Peterson and c. Wolf, own
ers Of a garage on Evanston avenue. and
James, Tony and Emil MARI, who run a
garage on the lake front, were witnesses
at the inquest
The attorneys for the Lee brothers
conferred their questions on the where
abouts on the night Of the elder Lees
death of an automobile, No. 2,2S2, owned
by Attorney John Z. Crawford, and kept
at the Peterson Wolff garage.
The MARI brothers testified that they
were playing cards on the night Lee was
killed: We're not in an automobile at all
that evening, and that Crawford's ma
chine was not kept at their establish
ment
WOLF Was Out of Town.
Wolf said he was out Of town the
night Lee was killed, and Peterson swore
that, to the best of his recollection. the
Crawford automobile has not been out
of the garage in three months.
Crawford was subpoenaed. but will not
testify until tomorrow. He could not be
found to-day. but is said TO have cor
roborated Peterson's statement that his
aute has long been unused
The anonymous letters are signed &C.
S. B. NJ" The writer says she would
probably lose her position as a stenogra-
pher if her name appeared in connection
with the case. but that she knew Lee and
saw him struck by the auto, the name
and appearance of which she described.
The young man got out and put him
into the automobile" continues the writer.

man, who is dark-complexioned, smooth
faced, and a brother OF the man who
