some have been much considered,

buried in the archives OF various COM

REVIEW of the Bailinger case con-
tanned in the brief of Louis ID. Bran
deis. counsel for Louis r. CLAWS,
which has been sent to the Ballinger
investigating committee, is not only
mastery in lis presentation OF all the
important facts brought to light III the
course of the investigation, but 1t makes
a showing against Secretary Ballingtr
which should not be possible against
any member of the presidents cabinet
There is not an assertion contained IN
the brief that is not supported by the
testimony, and the quotations from the
testimony which form most import
ant part of the document, are so clear
~ condemnatory of the secretary OF
the interior that no arguments. from
the Ballinger side, and no whltewash-
ing report from committee the ma
jority of which were selected to eXone-
rate Ballinger regardless of the testi-
monv. can either refute or Obliterate
the evidence and the conclusions which

PROFESSOR HARRIS ON TRIAL

The trial of Professor ]. ID. Harris
for the killing OF Editor W. A. Thomp-
son. on Main street, Warrenton, on
April "a, 1909, was begun in the
Circuit Court for Prince William county
Yesterday. This is the second jury that
Professor Harris has faced for the
offense the first trial having been had
in Fauquier county, where the Jury
found the defendant guilty OF man
slaughter. and fixed his term at four
years in the penitentiary. This verdict
was set aside by the Court of Appeals
and the case was afterward removed to
Prince William county, npon the
motion Of the defendant, on the ground
that he could not get an impartial trIai
in the county where the killing took
place.
Very little trouble was experienced
in securing a jury. Only 19s of-the 80
summoned were called to the jury box.
After the defense had exercised ITS
right to strike off four men the jury
was left as follows; w. F. Lee, J. +.
Adams, Benjamin Arnold, S. w.
Lowe, Walter Opp, c. NJ Copen, s. b.
Sanders, F. S. Lynn, w. A. Speake,
JOhu S. Russell, w. p. Lightner and
Joseph Machugh, All the jurors are
farmers with the exception Of Mr..
Speaks, who is merchant.
The entire morning session of the
court was taken up with securing the
jury, and the opening statements Of
the attorneys for the commonwealth
and the defense, court having adj
iourned for dinner at l O'Clock, upon
the conclusion of the opening state
ment OF Mr.. Marshall Mccormick,
leading attorney for Harris.
The commonwealth examined three
witneSses-Iryine MaXheimer, a broth
er-in-law of Thompson; Mason Strother
and Richard Hailstorm. Mr.. Max
heimer testified that Harris approa-
ched him just a short while prior to
the shooting and told him Of the
difficulty that he had had with Thomp-
son at the depot during the afternoon,
and of the request that Harris made
of him TO see Thompson and endeayor
to get him to leave the accused alone.
After this conversation Harris pro-
ceeded down Main street in the direc-
ton Of his boarding place, and was
overtaken by Thompson, when the
tragedy took place. The witness tes-
titled that he saw the two men in al
tercatiOn, and he saw Thompson hold
ing Harris with his left hand and
striking him with his right fist. Two
shots had been fired before the wit
ness reached the men. As soon as
he reached Harris and Thompson,
Maxheimer caught HarriS's hand and
endeavored to take the revolver away
from him. In this scuiile the pistol
was again fired. the ball penetrating
Thompson's abdomen, inhicting a
mortal wound. The witness could not
say whether Harris fired the shot at
Thompson or whether the weapon was
accidentally discharged.
hdSOH SiIOlhcI, WHO WIS WIN mar
riS when he was oyertaken by ThOmp-
son, testified to about the same facts.
Upon the evidence submitted yesterday
by the commonwealth strong case
has not been made out, the entire eyi'
dence tending to show that Harris was
acting on the defensive.
The defendant is represented by
Messrs. Marshall Mccormick, Speaker
Richard f. Byrd, g. l.. Fletcher, f.
f.. Garrett, and Il. A. Hutchinson.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE IS.

IL The strongest speech OF his ora
,orial career. Senator Dolliyer, OF Iowa,
yesterday in the Senate discussed the
control of the republican party, the
effort to stihe Independent thought ana
action the manner in which the PreSl-
dent has been used by the unscrupulouS
nolitical manipulators and the betrayal
Of the public interest in the Legislation
Of this and the preceding session. HIS
arraignment Of President Taft and the
reactionary leaders of both houses was
the strongest ever heard in the Senate.
The senator's speech was in support OF
. tariff commission and, necessarily,
dealt with the tariff law and methods
pursued in its preparation with the
greatest possible frankness. OF the
Aldrich tariff act, Senator Dolllyer,
said:
( am through with it. shall stand
here and fight it. But | will do 1t as a
republican. don't care for any po-
litical fate; l have toiled for the public
for twenty-five years, and do not pro
pose that my remaining years shall be
given up to a dull consent to these con
spiracies which would rob the people to
..,.,It;rI,- nrixafp wealth
This speech removes all possibility OF
restoring harmony between the Presi-
dent and the progressives, but as the
President himself had made this i'm
possible by permitting himself to be-
come a follower of Senator Aldrlch, 1t
hardly changes the situation.
