 MT. Crawford had proceeded for little moro than half an hour when there were two calls for a quorum.
 MT. Crawford had remonStrated agalnst a second call for a quorum saying that if senators did not wish to remain to near him he would get on without them Mir Owen declared that as the Senate was sitting as jury it's members should be present during the trial of the case
 A call for a quorum brought in more than 50 senators. The motion to take a recess was voted down and MT. Craw- ford proceeded with his speech.
 Referring to the plea that the proceed ing was an effort to assassinate the character of MT Lorimer, Senator Craw- ford declared that if deterred by such allegations the Senate would brand it. self7as composed of abject towards.
 Great Godr' the senator exclaimed venemently. Are we to turn aside and disregard testimony simply because some one says to proceed may njure some one? If we are to be so controlled, it is better that we should abolish the Sem ate and burn our court houses"
 Charges Corruption
 Mir Crawford asserted that the elec- i<CC O'Neal Browne as democratic leader were parts of a corrupt programme. MT. Crawford asserted further that there had been no plot to unseat Governor Deneen and quoted to this effect.
 God help us!' exclaimed the South Dakotan. God help us from this kind of politics. The only way that God s people can rule is to take power out of the hands of such combination as this Chicago crowd. These conditions are the natural fruitage of such a coali- tion, composed of Hinky Dink,' Bath House John and their associates"
 Declaring that the Lorimer speech was a mere avoidance of testifying, the South Dakota senator said Lorimer, in his re- cent speech, had not dealt with concrete facts developed in the testimony.
 Without having concluded, MT. Craw- ford yielded the> floor at o'clock. Tha; procedure presaged further delay of the case. as Senator Rayner entered upon the delivery of a set speech upon direct nominations.

Norton, Kan.-Jo ohm j. Frisbie, the
Curtis aviator, was killed Friday by
. fall at the Norton county fair.
Frisbie met with an accident Thurs
day and went into the air again only
when driven to it by the taunts and
jeers of the crowd.
Frisbie fell about 100 feet and the
engine of his machine fell upon him,
crushing his left side and chest He
fingered for about an hour before he
died.
Frisbie had been giving exhibitions
at Elmwood Park for several days.
Thursday his machine acted badly
and he had fan of about 40 feet,
but beyond bruises and shaking up
he was not injured, He was skeptic-
al about the ability of his machine
to stand another fight Friday and
announced he would not take the air,
but when this statement was com-
municated to the crowd there was
an angry demonstration. The spec
tators hooted and shouted "fakir,o
and refused to listen to explanations.
Mr.. Frisbie announced that rather
than have the big crowd go away
with the Impression that he was not
willing to do his best he would at
tempt a fight. He assembled the
track without diniculty and attained
a height of 100 feet, but in an at
tempt to make a turn the plane tip
ped and Frisbie lost control.
As he came crashing to earth the
spectators could see the aviator try
ing to right the machine, but as it
approached the ground one of the
wings crashed into a barn and the
biplane, glancing on, struck the earth
with Frisbie underneath. Physicians
who hurried to the aviator's assist
ance expressed the opinion at once
that his injuries were fatal. r

were witnesses Of the accident, and
