Chicago, Aug. 31.-The defense
in the trial of Lee ONeil Browne
rested it's case today. The state in
troduced minor rebuttal testimony
during the afternoon. 1t is expected
the argument will begin tomorrow
and that the case will be in the hands
of the jury before the end Of the
week.
The arguments are expected to be
acriminous. Throughout the trial
testimony has been offered to i'm
peach not only witnesses but the at
torneys themselves. Although this
testimony has been barred, it has
caused bitter feeling which, coupled
with open charges by the courtr and
the prosecutor and admissions by
veniremen that attempts were made
to reach the jury, is expected to
make the speeches of the attorneys
unusually heated.
This is the second trial of Browne
for legislative bribery in connection
with the election of William Lorimer
to the United States senate. The
first trial resulted in a disagreement
after the jurors had b roken the
record for consideration of a case
being out III hours. The first trial
was heard by Judge McSurely, the
second before Judge Kersten. It is
expected that the charge to the jury
will be of unusual interest, many
points having been raised by coun
sci which will have to be treated by
the court.
The trial, 1t has been announced
by States Attorney Wayman, will be
followed by probe into the alleged

The crisis is not as great now as it
was at the time of the Civil war but

In spite of the heavy rain falling,
10000 persons greeted the former
president.
Roosevelt was taken to the log
cabin built by John Brown near
Osawatomie and later to Battle
Field" where the Kansas abolition
ist, more than half a century ago,
with a handful of men withstood ten
times their number of pro-slavery
foes. Kansans and their visitors to
the number of $4,000 accompanied
the colonel to the historic field,

he did not hear the important testi-
mony that was presented just he
fore the committee adjourned and
did not hear the argument in the
case.
Root sailed for Europe to repre-
sent the United States in the New
Foundland fisheries case at The
Hague just before the sensational
testimony at the close Of the hear
ing was presented. 1t was stated
positively just before he sailed that
he would vote on the verdict and
that he would support Ballinger.
Since then politicians close to the
administration have deemed it ad-
visable, according to stories current
here, to force Ballinger out of the
cabinet.
President Taft has refused to fol-
low the counsel of the politicians
who have urged that he ask his Sec
retary of the interior to surrender
his portfolio. The politicians deem
the elimination of Ballinger neces-
sary to insure success in the coming
election and have been seeking some
plan to bring this about. If Senator
Root be disqualified and Congress
man Mccall votes against Ballinger,
the committee will stand to in
condemnation of the secretary.
Senator Crane, of Massachusetts
has been behind the plan, it is said
and journeyed to st. Paul as a spec
ial representative of the administra-
tion on a mysterious mission" II
is declared that he requested Bal
linger to retire for the good of the
party and that the secretary fatty re-
fused to withdraw.
Crane is said to be behind the
present plan and is supposed to have
used all the pressure he could bring
to bear on Mccall to side against

SHERMAN
JOLTED BY
The G. A. R.
HE REFUSES TO SPEAK AT RE-
UNION AND VETERANS 'REsO-
Lutte" THAT HIS ACTION is A
DELIBERATE INSULT TO THE
ORGANIZATION.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 31.-Vice-Presi-
dent James s. Sherman who is to-
day on his way 10 Oklahoma on a
speaking tour under the auspices OF
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, is due to receive a
jolt when he opens a letter sent from
here containing resolutions adopted
by the Baxter Springs G. A. II. re-
union association. Sherman was to
speak before the veterans. The
date was cancelled.
The soldiers committee went to
he vice president and were told that
the matter was in the hands of the
congressional committee. The G.. A
r. representatives wired the COM
mittee headquarters in Chicago and
received a reply saying that the mat
ter would be left entirely to sher-
mans personal wishes. Sherman
refused TO speak.
Then the G. A. II. reunion assoeia.
ton held a meeting and adopted a
resolution saying sherman's action
was mot only cavalier and an unpa-
triotic affront TO the old soldlery Of
his vicinity and the entire country
but a deliberate insult directed at

THE GIRL

MRS. HENRY FITCH GIRLS
MOTHER AND MRS. GRACE
CONGER, HER SISTER, POSI-
TIVELY IDENTIFY THE GIRL,
WHOSE TROUBLES THEY SAY
WERE IMAGINARY.

New York, Aug. 31.--Identiled
as Vera Fitch, daughter of a late
colonel in the U. s. army, the beau
tiful young girl who shot herself at
the Hotel Astor, is dying at the
Flower hospital. The physicians as
sert that she cannot live 36 hours.
She was in great pain all night and
although half delirious, continued to
deny her identity.
Mrs Henry Fitch positively identi-
fed the suffering girl as her daugh-
ter In spite OF this Vera continued
to refuse to give her name and
moaned: my people are self re-
sDecting; do not bring them into
this"
Miss Vera Fitch formerly lived In
San Francisco with her sister, Mrs.
Grace eonger, wife OF Roy Conger,
nephew Of former Minister 10
China, Edwin II. Conger.
Mrs. Conger, at her Broadway
home today at first denied that the
girl in the Flower hospital was her
sister but later admitted that she
was.

every station up to midnight The
colonel did not make many speeches
after dusk but he frequently stepped
to the rear platform to wave his hat
at the people.
Clifford Pinchot and former Secre-
tary James R. Garfield have been in
daily conference with the colonel
and it is evident that the middle
Western insurgents expect Roose-
welt to lead them.
1t was decided-iast night that Gar
field and Pinchot should leave the
train at Kansas City and go to Wis
consin to help Senator La Toilette in
his fight for reelection. 1t also was
decided that Roosevelt's speech at
Milwaukee should contain an en-
dorsement of LaFollette.
1t became increasingly evident to-
day that Roosevelt approves of the
scheme of the New York progress
ives to oust Vice-President Sherman
from the temporary chairmt nship Of
the Saratoga convention and substi-
tute Roosevelt. The colonel signifi-
cantly directed attention today to
the various statements regarding
the New York situation in which he
declared he would not compromise
on certain issues. There seems no
doubt that the colonel would accept
the temporary craftsmanship if it
were offered him.

Nelson Makes Hit in
Cans Home Town

BALTIMORE, May 11.-Battling Mel
son, the former lightweight champion
of the world, appeared here this even
ing for the first time since he won the
title from Joe Cans, nearly two years
ago. Although the weather was ex-
tremely hot, the theater at which Nell
son is showing was packed at both
performances and the Durable Dane
was given a great reception by the
large crowd.
Apparently Nelson expected TO be
criticised by the Baltimore fans, for
he believed that they disliked him for
having taken the lightweight honors
away from their city's great fighter
Bat was very much surprised at the
cheering and the cries for a speech. 1t
took him several minutes to realize that
the crowd was friendly toward him.
At the evening performance, Cans
was Nelson's guest at the theater and
he refereed the exhibition bout be-
tween the Dane and Abdul the Turk.
Nelson and Cans are good friends
now, and they made a great hit when
they stood side by side on the stage
of the theater.

Jimmy Carroll is a slight favorite
over Harry Dell owing to the length of

rounds the electrician is deemed to be
one Of the toughest bantam weights in
the ring 10 defeat. as he is extremely
fast on his feet and has a great left
hand. which generally keeps his sdver-
saries at a safe distance. However. Dell
IS a slam bang mixer with a terrific
punch. and under the mana cement Of
Toby Irwin is showing great improve
nent in his boxing. This should be a
fast battle. and is one Of the best that
the four round promoters have yet put
on.

the struggle, and only the finishing
touches are needed to put the crew in
the pink Of condition. The men who

fact that J. w. Fitting, who has been
IN the boat as stroke during most Of

able to accompany the crew, as he is
TO take the Australian trip with the

tainly implied that they quit like old.

or else they lost all sense OF pride and
decency and remained on the field sim
plv because they were working for
their salaries. Another finish like yes

red that he had got his ere the game
was tied up IN the sack by Oakland.

II was a tie. one all up to the eighth
inning. This was the fatal period when
the home teams goat took a runout
with a single into left. Wares laid
down a bUnt which Miller tossed to

would be late. Hogan singled to the
right garden and Cutshaw strolled in
Both Wares and Hogan showed plenty
Of speed on the paths and advanced TO
