The clash between counsel occurred when MT. Healy accused-Mr. Hanecy with having the very purpose of Iconfusing of the record and those who will read it."
 He was speaking of Mr. Hanecy's questions regarding testimony BecKe- meyer gave Saturday concerning ms statement two years ago to officials in Cook county that he knew notn- ing of 1t in the grand jury relative to corruption in the legislature.
 If the gentleman means what he says, l desire to brand it in the man. ner it deserves to be Drande1," de- ciared MT. Hanecvy. Jumping to his feet and facing the committee's at torney. MT. Healey declared he could not tell whether Mir. Fanecy was lasking about Beckemeyers testimony Saturday or about the truth contain ed in the statement two years ago. Beckemeyer said he coud not under ls.and either. As q resillL. s-halrn,an. DillingGam conducted the cxamina- lt.ou on the point himseif.
 Repeatedly, MT. Hanecy rcquirea the witness to admit that he lied.
 Finally Beckemeyer appealed to the Icpmmittee to be excused from ans Iwesing similar questions
 Chairman Dillingham; ruled that after the witness had testified three Tor four or five times that he lied, 1t was not necessary for counsel to re- Iquire the witness to characterize the kind of lies he told. The chairman depressed "impatience" that the ck- animation should be drawn out by such lnsistence.
 Throughout tBeckemeyer remained firm in declaring he received money for voting for Lorimer and explained that he asked to be given the priv ilege of making "cIean breast or the whole matter" before the sraiii Ijury because he did not want an in- dictment to be brought ag1iast him Just at the time when his Wife was in the hospital.

 Root Makes Speech.

Washington, D. G.. Aug. Twin the recall of Judges provision of the Arizona constitution as the princi- pal issue. tne senate took up today for final action the bill for the ad- mission of New Mexico and Arizona into statehood. By previous agree ment, the bill will be voted on be- fore the closh of this Legislative day" which. however, may be ex- tended by recesses for several days. indications tonight are that the vote will be reached tomorrow
 The test will come on the Nelson amendment to the house bill, the for- mer allowing New Mexico to become state with it's constitution un- changed. while Arizona must strike out the provision by which judges can be recalled. The house bill re- quires that the voters Of Arizona snail take vote on the judicial re- call question before the territory IS admitted, while in New Mexico an effort must be made by vote to change the constitution adopted so as to make it easier of amendment.
 Vigorous speeches ih opposition to the recall of judges were made to- day by Senator Root of New York, Borah of Idaho, Nelson of Minnesota and Crawford of South Dakota. while Senator Poindexter of Washington. defended it. declaring that the pe5- pie of a state should have the rignt to say what sort of a constitution they desired, provided 1t is not Tn conflict with the national constitu. ton.
 Mir. Root maintained that the great basis of the st>ength of the American self government was the self restraint the people had placed upon them- selves in the judicial system adopted by the fathers of the country.
 T believe" he declared, that in the long run, the decisions of the American people are wise and sound but they are so because the wisdom Iof our fathrs devised a system of government which prevents our peo- pie from reaching their conclusions except after mature consideration and after the passions of the moment are excluded. Our fathers believe that among the virtues that of self re- straint stands near the first.
 I don't believe we are ready to say Ito the judge:
 You're to mainfain the great principles of law, but you must do sc subject to recall and disgrace for iife if you happen to decide against the will of the majority"
 l After seven hours debate today the senate recessed until 11:00 o'clock tomorrow morning. Among those Istill desiring to he heard are Sena tors Crawford. cummins. Clapp and lBailey.

MAKES PLEA
 F0R PEACE
TAFT TRAVELS 400 MILES AND ASKS THE PEOPLE TO USE
 MORAL INFLUENCE.
Seeks to Overcome Feeling That the Senate Will Lose One of its Chief Functions, the Ratification of
 Foreign Treaties.

Mountain Lake Park, Md, Aug '. President Taft travelled 400 miles through Maryland and West Virginia today by special train to appeal to the people of the United States to use their moral influence to have the senate ratify the British and French arbitration treaties and the treaties with Nicaragua and Honduras. Ills appeal was made to the Mountain Lake Park Chautaqua to the metho- dist Episcopal church recently but in | it the president included the rest or the nations as we'll.
 T observe,r said the president, that there is some suggestion thai by ratfying this treaty, the senate may in some way abdicate its tunc- ton of treaty making. l confess my self unable to perceive the treaty in any such a point.
 ITO have these treaties not ratlned l by the senate of the United States, or to have any hesitation, and discus sion of a serious character in re- spect to them woulG-lo the move ment toward genesal peace, which has made saostanrial advance m Sne last ten years. To secure the ratl- 1cation of the streaties, therefore, | a mn 1a1 spf H. Iz sense of the nation, and while that IS not entirely in the keeping of the churches, certainly they may exert a powerful influence in the promo tion of any effective instrumentality to secure permanent peace"
 Leaving the arbitration treaties De- hind, the president asked for that same sort of popular support of the treaties with Honduras and Vicar agua.
 1 There is no issue before the sen ate so acute in respect to the cause of peace as the confirmation of tn -s Central American treaties" said tne president.
 While l admit the greater import ance of universal treaties of arbitra- ton in the long run and as affecting the world at large, yet, in respect of American interests, lin respect of peace in this hemisphere. they are not equal in importance to the con. iirmation of these Central American treaties.'
 In making his plea for the Central American convention, the presrus... highly praised former President Roosevelt. He spoke of the tendency of the United States to extend their helping hand to less powerful peo- pie and instanced MT. koosevelt's ln- tervention in Cuba That tendency was evidenced also, he said, 'by the wonderfully successful intervention by Theodore Roosevelt, as president of the United States in securing peace between Russia and Japan. =
 The president left Washington al lS:00 o'clock with a carload of Balti- more and Ohio railroad officials along to help run the special. lie spent just an hour in Mountain Lake Park, leaving for Washington at 1 o'clock.
