Speaker Joseph G. Cannon d.
gressed long enough to draw a par

the critics of the present time who
attack public men.
When the speaker was discussing
the assassination of Lincoln, he
said.
1T Is humiliating fact that the
three presidents who have been
struck down in office were muir
dered by foolish egotists, hungering
for that notoriety which they found
In a sensational press. Long in
vestigation failed to identify the as
sassins of Lincoln, Garfield and Nc
Kinley with any deep conspiracy
against the life of the president.
They were all Of the type of shall
low egotists who crave notoriety
and In whose diseased minds is Gre
ated desire to appeal to the same
sentiment that tolerates and even
applauds reckless denunciation of
those upon whom Is laid the burden
of responsibility"

Charged with the seduction of
pretty Roselma l.. Fisher on the
first day of last May. Benjamin F.
Smith reported to be salesman in
the employ of John w. Graham,
was arrested last night on a war;
rant by Detective Bush. Smith is
alleged as set forth in the warrant,
to have made love to Miss Fisher,

and to have afterwards caused her
downfall nine months ago.
Smith maintained a naughty ST.
lence at the police station last
night while waiting for friends to
try and secure the required bon0s.
He would say nothing whatever
about the case, except for the dec
laration that he did not know the
charge which had been placed
against him. With his hat tipped
down over one eye and his chair
leaning against the wall, the pris-
oner calmly smoked his cigar and
waited for Judge Mann to appear
Up to late hour last night, his
