Washington, Feb Never in
years has any session Of congress done
rs much work as the present one "
said Representative Dwight al Kew
York the republican whip in tho
house In a statement today.
Congress has been In session less
than sin weeks since the first Of De-
cember and in that time the house has
passed the army urgent deficiency,
District OF Columbia ana agricultural
appropriation bills We have also re-
deemed two pledges Of the party plat
form by passing bills To establish "A
bureau of mines ana mining, and adj
nit Arizona and New Mexico.
1t may not be remembered that the
message of President Taft IN Decem-
er was a general one and that his
specific recommendation regarding
conservation, the amendments OF the
Sherman anti-trust law and the Hep
burn railroad rate law. did not come
to congress until after January s..
These recommendation are now in
the hands Of committees and as they
contain many difficult problems these
committees have been working over
time In consultation with the presi-
dent ana attorney general, but at the
earliest possible moment bills VIII be
uraitcd ana reported 10 the house Tor
action. Other important bills are ready
to be reported.
There has not been shown thus
far any disposition on the part of any
Of these measures. II would thus

What the republican are really

TERRIFIC ARRAIGNMENT
OF MRS, STEWART FORD
Trail Of Ruined Homes and
Wrecked Lives Left in Her
Wake, Declares Attorney in
Demanding Her Conviction

lBy Morning journal specie' Leased wlrel
Cincinnati, O.. Feb. with the
probable close of the trial of Mrs
Jeanette Stewart Ford for blackmail
tomorrow, the curtain viii fall on the
second act in the drama of the 81
gantic defalcation Of Charles l.. War
riner, defaulting local treasurer OF
the Big Four railway.
The state today concluded It's case
with a terrible Indictment of the
woman as a human vulture whose life
had been spent in preying upon men
In the teeth of the overwhelming
evidence, the defense has been unable
to attempt a vindication of Mrs
Ford's moral character and content
ed itself with Il bitter attack upon
Charles L. Warriner and Edgar s.
Cooke, the two other principal figures
in the extraordinary story y the s6iS'-
600 shortage.
The defendants attorneys will con
alude their plea tomorrow and prob
ably the ease will go % the jury lntc
in the day Only two witnesses were
examined today by the state and none
bv the defense They had summoned
four railway officials but only two,
General Counsel L. j. Hackney ana
Former Auditor r. 4. Hewitt were
subpoenaed None of the four appear
ed in court and the defense waived
it's write to obtain writs OF attachment
for them.
After the court had refused the ad-
mission OF certain letters of Mrs. Ford
the state rested. and the defense,
when the name of their four witness
es had been called and remained un-
answered, also rested.
In his argument to the jury, Prose
rutor Cash reviewed details OF the
woman's cnreer. He called the atten-
tion of the jury tn the mass of let
ters written by Mrs Ford and by
Cooke The letters he declared were
of So vile a character as to prohibit
reading them in public
Asserting that ruined homes ana
shattered lives had followed the WON
an wherever she went. he demanded
that the jury convict her So that the
community might be spared the eVil
Influence she welded
Attorney Thorndyke, in his argu-
ment for the defense, did not attempt
10 defend the morality of his client 8
life but contentcd himself with bit
ter attack upon Warrincr ana Cooke
He claimed that the only evidence
against his client was the unsupport-
ed word of Warriner and that the
witness was unworthy of crcdence.

alton of the measure.
However. 1t will be before the sem

Mr. Hepburn declared the bill had

poration tax law. which he said had

he said there was no provision for Sc

secrecy regarding deposits, the bill
would prove shield to dishonesty
and that in the end it would be found

the postal savings fund.
Mr.. Hepburn spoke at length re-
garding the possible abuses that might

Mr.. Carter protested against this
line of reasoning saying that no legis-
lation proceeded upon the theory that
the average man was crook.

Mr.. Hepburn: THE bin devolves
too many things upon the uncertain
ties OF the future.
in conclusion Mr.. Hepburn pro-
nounced the bill to be utterly vicious
and predicted that in the end 1t would
be necessary to pay the deposits by ap-
preparation out of the national treas

During the discussion, Mr.. Smith or
Michigan made the prediction that u

NIr Carter made no formal reply to

record as the best possible refutation
