LAS TALK WITH TAFT.
President Said to Disagree With
Majority Report.
Upper House Of Congress Now
in Disgrace"-Hale.

Washington. Jan. 4.-No time will
be lost in the senate by the opponents
OF the proposed vindication of William
Lorimer in presenting their views to
that body when congress reconvenes
Thursday. It is certain that if Mr..
Beveridge of Indiana and Mr.. Frazier
Of Tennessee, both members of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, neither of whom signed the
majority report of that committee, do
not file minority reports Or make ad-
verse speeches before the close of the
week, the debate will be opened not
later than Monday or Tuesday of next
week by Senator Borah of Idaho, who
will present to the senate an analysis
of the evidence taken by the senate
investigating committee, all of whose
members found in favor of Mr. Lori
mer.
Borah an Incisive Speaker.
That the Illinois man and his friends
will get little satisfaction out of this
analysis is foregone conclusion. SEN
ator Borah enjoys nation wide repu-
tation in this particular phase of the
law. In the celebrated Moyer-Hay-
wood conspiracy case in Idaho and in
his summing up of the evidence in
the Brownsville case Mr.. Borah made
two speeches which for keenness, lu-
cidity, invective and Justice have not
been equaled in the senate, at least in
recent years. Furthermore, Mr. b.
rah's conclusions with respect to the
Brownsville affray were fully borne out
by subsequent courts of inquiry, which
were satisfactory in personnel to those
who disagreed with him He is eX-
pected to take the evidence in the
Lorimer case, strip it of it's admitted
inconsistencies and contradictions and

the testimony was.
Attitude of President Taft.
Mr.. Borah had a long talk with
President Taft this morning. He de-
clined to say what the nature of his
business at the White House was. 1t
is no longer a secret however, that
regular Republicans in the senate to
read the Lorimer evidence carefully.
The president is said to have read the
evidence, and it is intimated in sources
close to him that he disagrees with
the majority reportY,in many impor-
tant particulars.
No authoritative statement to this
effect has been made,s but the fact that
Senators Burton and Dick of Ohio, both

congress. will probably oppose his be-
ing seated is highly significant.
What Senator Root of New York
will do is still probIematical. 1t is UNI
derstood, however, that he will not
make a speech in favor of Mr.. Lorimer
unless something unforeseen shall
occur.
Another regular Republican who is
on the warpath is Mr.. Hale of Maine.
He is said to have said privately that
the failure of the senate committee on
privileges and elections properly to in
vestigate the whole Lorimer situation
had brought disgrace upon the senate.

DARK GIRL BOYCE FOE.
His Matrimonial Fortune Clouded by
African Queens Influence.

Chicago, Jan. A bright, white
ray OF mid-African light flung itself
athwart the pages of w. c. Boyce's
rapid-fire matrimonial history last
ter, entitled Reconciliation" was be-
ing compiled for it by the publisher
and his latest bride, formerly Miss
Virginia Dorcas Lee of Oak Park.
The new light purports to reveal the
inside story of why Mr.. Boyce and his
bride decided to part. The new chap
ter tells how they patched it up again.
According to the tale told around
the bridge tables in the West side sub
urb it was the too ubiquitous vision Of
an African queen that clouded the
Boyces' marital serenity. This queen
Mr.. Boyce saw in the heart of her mas
tive jungle on his recent excursion to
the dark continent in search of maga-
zine material. He is declared to have
gazed upon her and admired; also he
took her photograph. He brought the
photo home, and after he had parted
with his first wife and had married his
second he set the African queens pho
to on his and his new brides mutual
dresser.
That, according to the bridge table
story, is what started the trouble. The
new Mrs. Boyce regarded the lady
from Africa as an intruder. Inciden-
tally, too. she objected to her, an
well-unconventiona garb. She asked
Mr.. Boyce to escort the queen away.
Mr.. Boyce. like the mere man that
he is, merely laughed heartily and
"kidded'' his bride about being jeal-
Gus. Mrs. Boyce bore this for some
time with what all women will agree
was the patience of a saint. Then
one day Mr.. Boyce laughed heartily
once too often and his bride suddenly
dropped the reins of her self-control
and told him the exact, particular,
identical spot where he climbed down,
descended and got off. Mr.. Boyce.
of course, being mere man, fared
back, and the next thing he knew his
bride had gone back to mother. He
got a note a little later containing a
frigid announcement to the effect that
unless the African queen was effaced
Boyce need never expect to see his
wife again.
This dazed him for awhile and then
he shut his iron jaw and decided to
take punishment. He took punishment
like hero until yesterday. Then he
weakened. Last night. he notified Mrs.
Boyce No. 2 that the African queen
was on her way and would she please
come back?
Mrs. Boyce would. She left her
home at 200 Maple street, Oak Park,
John o. Lee, and returned to her hus-
band. Where Mr.. and Mrs. Boyce
went could not be ascertained. Among
their friends, however, it is said that
the trouble is all over, that the African
queen is under sentence of perpetual
Punishment and that from this time
forward Mrs. Boyce will play second
fiddle to neither the queen nor any
body else in her own household.

NEW MOVING PICTURE HOUSE.
Topeka Motor Garage Will Be Turned

TIE Topeka Motor Car company at
Sev}nth and Quincy streets will vacate
the building which the firm now occu-
pies within two or three months. The
company will either rent another build

1t is probable that the garage now
occupied by the company, which is the
property of Dr.. G. J. Mulvane, will be
turned into moving picture theater

though the doctor said he was nor
ready to discuss the plans which he as

be used on account Of the short turn

not candidate himself that year. Mr..
Bryan advised his party as to its noni-
nation. He refused to indorse Mr..
Hearst who had. and preferred. claims
Cockrell. who had no chance whatever.
Judge Parker. whom he described as Wall
streets man. and whose nomination he
declared would be fatal to the party.
The Parker men were indignant. Had
not the democratic party twice honored
Mr.. Bryan with its nomination? Had
he no gratitude? Did he imagine that
he could dictate to 1t concerning the new
leader. Was his real object to betray
the party. by forcing q weak man on it in
place Of this stalwart New Yorker. who
would be certain to win? And SO forth.
Well. at the convention Mr.. Bryan was
sent 10 grass. JuOSe FarKer was nOHl-
mated with a Nhoop that had derisive
Bryan tang. and the famous gold tele-
gram sent by the candidate to the con-
vention gave to the financial plank OF
the platform a meaning most repugnant
to Mr.. Bryan's Interpretation.
Still, no sooner had his humiliation
been made complete than Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived advances OF devotion again. He
was appealed to as the party's chief hope
on the stump. and he took the stump
without q trace of resentment for the
'slamming he had endured. But the
stumping was in vain. The Bryanites
would not forgive what their chief had
forgiven. and Judge Parker in turn went
to grass. NJ
So now. Whoever is nominated next

Mr. Bryan wilT be cast for the role Of star

questions.
