in the streets, but as a general thing
the nationalists are preserving excel

The shah is expected momentarily
TO take refuge in one of the foreign
legations. Royalist troops have taken
up positions in the center of the

Counsel for Defense Fails.

Counsel for Defense Falls.
Chicago, July 13.-Ella Gingles con-
tinued to bask in the white light of
public interest yesterday, and the
state dealt the girls defense several
telling blows. The story of the Wei
lington hotel bathroom incident was
impeached in many important feat
ures. The attempts of counsel for the
defendant to bring into the case the
names of well known men as being be-
hind the plot against the girl failed.
Dr. Arthur E. Price, one of the medi
cal experts for the state, gave testi-
mony tending to support the theory
that the girl is suffering from form
of hysteria. Price saw the girl at the
hospital after she was found injured in
the bathroom. He swore that she
knew what he was doing. She would
scream when he touched her wounds,
but when her attention was distracted
she paid no attention when he touched
the scratches, as he termed them
Wounds Grow Larger.
Price expressed the opinion that the
scratches were self-inflicted and were
not deep. He said, however, that the
scars on her arms were from more Sc
we're wounds than he found on the girl
when he examined her.
Miss Anna Williams, house detective
at a department store, testified that on
Jan. 3 she saw the Gingles girl take
some goods and that later the girl
signed confession.
Locked From Inside.
Miss Mary Reineck, chief maid of
the Wellington hotel, told of going to
the bathroom on the morning of Feb
II and finding the door locked on the
inside She described what she saw
when the door was finally opened with
the aid of a porter. Miss Gingles, she
said, was tied with cord probably
from a department store. She also said
that the girl was not gagged, though
she afterwards admitted there was &
towel around her face. The witness
testified that the girl declared she hat
been poisoned by man and woman
who gave her wine.
The case probably will not reach the
jury before the end of the week.

OTHER ON INCOME TAX

His Aid.

Lincoln, July 13.-William J. Bryan
today adressed the following letter to
Taft: Now that the states are going
to vote on the ratification of the
amendment specifically authorizing an
income tax, why not give them a
chance TO vote on the amendment pro
viding for the election of United States
senators by popular vote?
In your speech of acceptance you said
you were personally inclined to favor
such a change in the constitution.
Would not this be an opportune time
to present the subject to congress.

authorizing an income tax and the 9th

ferees ON the tariff bill began work to-

which was defeated in the senate.

states represented in the opposition
