A resolution demanding tho immediate

lively directing President Taft to send
to Congress at once all documents and
reports upon which the mobilization or

"A state of civil war has for some time

JUSTICES MAY GET
ROOMS IN THE CAPITOL
Senators Discuss Allowing the
Supreme Court to Use
Their Offices.

The justices Of the United States Su-
preme Court may get longwanted offices
In the Capitol near the courtroom.
There Is talk among senators Of re-
linquishing the offices they have been
using in the old library space In the Capt.
tol and turning them over to tho Suprem
Court. This step has been agitated for
some years, and last winter Senators Ba-
con and Bailey urged that some such
proviyion be made for the members Of
the highest federal tribunal Senator Bal
ley offered to give up his room in the
old library space, II others occupying
ofIlces in the same part Of the Capitol
would do the same.
The retirement of several senator's who
had Offices in the old library space. it is
urged, offers a favorable opportunity for
showing this generosity to the Supreme
Court justices Senator'S who had the
offices were loath to give them up. but it
is thought senators who have been using
offices in the Senate Office building will
not insist upon moving over to the Capt.
toll. even though they sucreed to the
chairmanships made vacant by the retired
members.

Attorney Testers Argument.

Attorney W. z. Lester. for Mrs. Cramer.
concluded his argument in favor Of Mrs.
Cramer. He urged that ample evidence
existed of an engagement between Fen
ton J. Hurd and the widow, citing the
dear pet girl letters and other COM
munications. He said the testimony
shows the octogenerian told eight per-
sons of his desire to marry the widow
and that he had not denied 1t anywhere
in his testimony: that he told seven per-
sons Of his desire that she resign and OF
his intention to care for her.
He pointed out that the elder Hurd il
virtually q prisoner in the custody OF his
SON. of whom his own letters show him
to be afraid, and said that very meager
testimony only was in evidence that Mrs.
Cramer had used undue influence to
secure the money.
He stated that the gifts OF 5000 and
$4,000 occurred shortly after Hurd broke
his engagement because OF the threats
of the son, Byron, against his life.
Mr. Lester paid his respects to DR.. Lee
NJ Hurd, the CONSERVATION, and declared
that the Connecticut court had been im-
posed on in the securing OF the appoint
ynent of q conservator by a misstatement
Of Hurd's actual place of residence.
