WIDOW is ACCUSED
Asserted That Widow of Man
Murdered Was Intimate
With Duncan.
SISTER TELLS THE STORY.

Greenfield, Ind, Jan. 31.-Revela-
tions were made in the trial Of Fran
els NJ. Duncan, charged with the muir
der of James Lafollette, when Mrs.
Solomon Lafollette of Indianapolis tes-
titled to the intimacy that existed be-
tween Duncan and her sister-in-law,
Mrs. Nan Lafollette, widow Of the man
who was killed by Duncan. The wit
ness is a cousin of the defendant.
Mrs. Lafollette's story was consider
ed a greater blow to the defense than
was the story told by Thurman Con-
gor, the boy witness. Mrs. LafOllette
said she saw Duncan and the wife OF
the man he killed on Washington
street in indianapolis three years ago.
Mrs. Nan Lafollette, she asserted,
showed her a gold ring which she said
the kid meaning Duncan) had
bought for her, paying Sc for it. The
witness said that her sister-in-law told
her on that occasion that she was 60
ing to get a divorce from Lafollette
and that Duncan was going to get a
divorce from his wife SO they might be
married.
Two years ago, the sister-in-law de
clared. Mrs. Nan Lafollette was staying
at her house in Indianapolis, and In
the absence of her husband she and
Duncan visited Mrs Nan Lafollette
When the witness and her husband re
turned they found Duncan making
love- to Mrs. Lafollette. After Dun
can had been ordered from the house,
lette money to buy clothing. On
REORGANIZATION Mrs. Solomon La
toilette admitted that she had been
divorced from her husband and had
later remarked him.
Mrs. Ann Yeager said she lived two
houses sout.A of the Lafollette home
when the tragedy occurred. She was
called in before Lafollette died and at
the time saw Duncan standing across
the street from the Lafollette home.
Sherman Yeager testified he heard a
quarrel at the Lafollette home and
saw Duncan run from the back door
Of the house.
Robert Lafollette, 8 years old, a
nephew of ,ne dead man. corroborated
the story of Thurman Conger, declar-
ing that he. too, saw Duncan drinking
on the day of the tragedy and saw
him handle a revolver. Seventy five
witnesses have been examined for the
state and night sessions of the court
are being held.

leum Of Gen. Grant it finally chose the
highest land on Manhattan Island. on
the bank Of the Hudson river, where the
memorial-tomb should be visible for
miles. Here. at the capital of the ma
ton for which Grant fought, where he
lived for eight years as President. 1t is
proposed ignominiously to hide his statue
and its elaborate pedestal in an obscure
corner Of the low-lying Botanic Garden.
The Botanic Garden site Is not today fit

of hostility prevails in Congress. The Star
has repeatedly sought to point out to
those genuinely concerned in the welfare
of the monument project that they were
assuming a heavy responsibility in press
ing now for the retention of this unfit
site. 1t Is still to be hoped that the
Grant family. the soldier organizations
and the House itself will recognize that
the objections to the Botanic Garden
site for the monument are inspired as
much by the desire to honor Gen. Grant
in the fullest possible degree as by the
desire to save the noble trees of that
park from destruction; that the question
is not between the alternatives of honor
ing Grant or preserving some historic
trees, but that on the contrary the b.
tanic Garden site means both tree-butch-
cry and humiliating indignity to Grant 5
memory.

MI. Williams Tactics.

The minority leader Of the House. in the
notice he has issued to the majority, has
performed a valuable public service He
may not secure by it the legislation he
specifies. He may not even embroil the
ma jority. as probably he would like. in
wide discussions of general issues. But
he will enforce a large attendance Of
members on the business of the remainder
of the session. and that in itself Is q
point OF great Importance.
The curse Of every Congress at this
season is the absence of many House
members from town on private business.
In the spring the statesmans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of reelection.
His rivals at home are stirring to depose
him. He becomes nervous He feels that
in Washington he Is too far from base.
Capable as his lieutenants may be, he
wants to take command in person and
make sure Of the nomination. So of he
posts and sometimes for weeks the Cap
itol is not irradiated by his countenance.
It is when the House il thinned out In
this way that business halts, or is trans
acted in a slevenly manner. Either little
is done. or what is done Is hurried through
and half done. Many matters unexplained
are thrown into conference, and confer
ences become the order Of the day. As
the end of the session approaches confer
ence reports block the way. and business
proceeds, instead of leisurely, at a gallop

There may be differences of opinion as
to what this Congress should do before
adjournment, and as to the time for ad-
journment. The Presidents program
may or may not be too large. Good pol
itics may or may not counsel clearing the
table and putting up the shutters before
the Chicago convention. But there can
be but one opinion about this. that what
ever is done before adjournment should
be the work Of both full House and q
full Senate, and after open discussion,
and not of a corporars guard engaged
largely behind closed committee doors.
Mr.. Williams, to succeed, must keep his
own men on the firing line: and II he does
that. and forces the opposition to meet
him. he will crown his leadership with an
achievement worthy of the best minority
record in that line.

The Grant Memorial and the Trees

The remarks of Representatives Suizer
and Mann in the House yesterday on the
subject of the Grant monument site were
addressed chiefly to the question Of the
mepace to the trees Of the Botanic Garden
involved in the confirmation of that site
by the House committee on library. Both
speakers saw the case clearly and stated
1t strongly. As far as the Botanic Gar
den is concerned. there is no occasion to
despoil 1t by the emplacement of this
monument within its boundaries, for there
is not only another but a far better site
for the memorial now available which will
not involve the destruction Of any pres
a ent growth.
The matter Of the Grant monument site
involves. however. broader considerations
than the preservation or the butchering
of the trees. There is no issue between
the saving of the trees and the erection
OF the monument. There is no choice in
volved between paying a proper tribute
to Gen. Grant and preventing the de-
struction of a few forest growths in the
park. The question actually at issue.

placing the monument I'm the Botanic

Cutting the District Estimates.

No surprise is felt in Washington at
the decision OF the House subcommittee
on District appropriations to cut the
Commissioners estimates by $4,000, 600
and thereby to bring the total Of the
budget, as it Is to be reported, at least
81, 900. 900 below the current allowance.
At least. nobody should be surprised.
The decision Is entirely consistent with
the past performances of the House in
dealing with the local appropriations. 1t
is based upon the same principle of pro-
vision Of funds that has guided the legis-
Iators during recent years. This princi-
pie. to be sure. is believed by the resi-
dents and taxpayers of Washington to be
unbusinesslike and unfair. 1t is regarded
as also unwise in that it leads to the
present neglect of projects that must
eventually be undertaken. but that are
most economically and effectively under
taken at this time
1t is not dificult to anticipate the gen.
eral features Of the cuts in the estimates

save to hope for future relief from this
heavy burden. The budget will doubtless
be increased slightly in the House and
materially in the Senate and will then
shrink to a compromise figure in con-
ference. Perhaps the final total will be

haps lower. But whatever the full amount

Cheaper and Better Gas.

The House District committee has post
poned for two weeks the hearing of argu-
ment on the proposition 10 repeal the
provision of law authorizing the gas COM
pany to increase its capitalization. There
may be no urgent need of haste by Con-
gress In repeating formally this provision.
since 1t has been already practically re-
pealed by the decision of the Court OF
Appeals that it Is Unconstitutional. and
since 1t cannot be revived for a year or
two in any event and then only by the
reversing action of the Supreme Court
of the United States. But while Con-
gress may reasonably take Its time with
this particular piece of legislation. why
should 1t not push vigorously and prompt
ly the direct legislation for cheaper and
better gas?
The main public interest in the repeal
proposition lies in the possibility that
after a year or two the Supreme Court
may reverse the decision of the Court OF
Appeals. the gas company may issue in
flated or watered stock, and this over
capitalization in the hands of innocent
purchasers may form an obstacle two or
three years hence to an effort at that
time to secure a reasonable reduction in
the price of gas But what binders gas
price reduction now? Why does not Con-
gress proceed forthwith. the path being
absolutely unobstructed at this time. to
move Immediately to the goal Of cheaper
and better gas?
II Congress refrains from considering
gas price reduction now, when there Is
nothing in the way. and as substitute
discusses deliberately and with delibera-
ton a proposition to remove possible
obstacle to gas price reduction not now
existing but which under certain con-
tingences may exist two or three years
from date. the suggestion is obvious-is
it not?-that Congress does not intend
to consider seriously gas price reduction
until these years have elapsed.
The House committee and Congress
should consider and act upon the propo-
sition for better and cheaper gas now.
The way to resume specie payments was
to resume. The way to reduce the price
of gas is to proceed forthwith to reduce 1t.

A Poker Raid and It's Lesson.

The attention of the Senate is respect
fully called to a news item that appears
in The Star today. 1t tells Of a success
full raid conducted by the police upon an
alleged gambling resort in this city, which,
1t is believed, has been in hourishing ex-
istence for seven months past without at
tracing Official notice. In this raid a
number Of men were arrested and we're
later charged with playing poker for
money. Under the statutes 1t is unlawful
In this District to conduct a gaming
table, at which stakes are wagered on
the game Of chance called poker.
Yesterday at Benning hundreds OF men
openly laid wagers on the results of a
series of horse races. the total stakes un-
questionably exceeding by many hundreds
Of times the total Of those involved In the
poker games interrupted by the police
last night. These bets were recorded by
their takers in plain view Of the police.

because under the latest decision 1t IL law

situations it remains to be made manifest.
1t does not seem possible for it to be ig-
nored by the upper house Of Congress.
which is now faced with the requirement
to deal directly with the problem. The
question to be answered plainly is whether
gambling, which is rated already in the
law as an evil. is to be prohibited through
out the District in all forms or only in a
portion of the District and in certain
forms.
