Another tilt came when. Judge Cow
an stated that 1t had been intimated
to the members Of the senate in the
last few days that dire consequences
would result to those who had been
responsible for this impeachment at
the hands Of himself, but he declared
that life was too short to waste time
getting even," end that he would
harbor no such feelings. 81 say to
the men and women who have spied
and spotted upon my private life," be-
gan Judge Cowan, when he was in
terrupted by George Bangs who want
ed to know II any evidence to show
such conditions would be submitted,
at the same time asking Cowan II
he felt such statements were admis-
sible in connection with the opening
statement of the defense. Cowan re-
piled that he felt that they were.
There was more than one tear wip-
ed away this morning when Judge
Cowan speaking of his own feelings
toward those who were fighting him,
declared that the fact that this was a
holy day and spoke Of the prayers Of
fered sby his wife at the altar Of her
church. both .Shimself and for those
who opposed Wat II say to the men
and women who . Hsspied and spot
ted upon my prlsS sxNte that they
might bring me and sosamily, my
Christian wife, bring h. et,or boys
and innocent girls to desh an at
their hands" said Judge Co>> % >;,1
say to these gentlemen that th&> TO-
day or hereafter need never feel the
spirit Of revenge either from myself
or my wife,. I know the fact to be
that on this holy morning my Chris
tain wife's prayers have been Offer
ed at the altar Of her church to
her God for their forgiveness as we'll
as for my safety and success and
leave this question with them, with
her and my fellowmen."
It was not till this afternoon that
Cowan completed his address. AL
most the entire time was given over
today to delayed cases and speaking
Of them he declared that It was for
the prosecution to show wherein he
had delayed those decisions for cor
rupt purposes, for personal gain or
for gain OF this or that litigant, be-
fore such were made impeachable Of
fenses. Each Of the several cases
were taken up in its order and thor
oughly discussed.
The first evidence for the defense
was introduced this afternoon. Presi-
dent Burdick has revived the sugges-
tion for an evening session but did
not expect that the senate would
adopt It.

When the bill was taken up, the
question Of the length of debate was
to be determined. Though there is
opposition to the measure in the
house and it has been the prevailing
opinion that the discussion could be
disposed of within two Aass, today
and tomorrow, the Democratic lead
ers have not been inclined1fo limit
debate unreasonably If a longer time
should be desired, and they set four
days as the maximum limit.

Jennings deemed It foolish to waste
any of his regular twirlers on the foe
and took advantage OF the occasion to
give Mitchell little try-out.
Mitchell sent the Sox TO the field
without run in that period, and the
Tigers amassed five, placing them
within two of tie.
From a factor which could hardly
have been termed a forlorn hope,
Mitchell rose to a desperate chance.
He walked out and pitched the ninth

President III. o. Smith, OF the In

pose of securing the consent OF the
Chalmers Co. to surrender the cup.
This. the Chalmers people say, Is en-
tirely out of the question. AS q re-
suit II is probable that, on the request
OF the Manufacturers Contest associa-
ton, the indianapolis firm will aban-
don its legal fight. thus closing the UNI
