LORIMER COUNSEL REFERRED
SNEERINGLY TO BURNS As
THE GREAT DETECTIVE"
BURNS BECAME VERY MAD
And Said II the Committee Would Not
Protect Him, lie Would Protect
Himself.

W NASlilNGIoN, Jan, 3l.-An at-
tempt today to impeach the testimony
of Charles MCGOWAN, "A Hlnes-Lorimei
witness, who testified he did not heai

a 100000 Lorimer fund resulted in q
stormy session Of the senate.
Detective William j. Burns was or
the stand. 1t had been planed fol
him to lay the ground work for his
detectives to present proof" of Nc
Gowan having perjured himself.
After sharp debate, Detective b
c. Railey produced a letter alleged tc
have been written by MCGOWAN tc
Bailey, and which Burns said was par
of the evidence which had convinced
him that MCGOWAN had not told the
truth whe before the committee. The
other parts were admissions" Nc
Gowan was alleged to have made II
Toronto to detectives and which was
taken down by a dictograph.
Written to "Dcar Heart"
The letter was dater November 49,
IL, Flora, Can. After telling my
Dear Heart of daily affairs the
writer said he had been answered By
the Hines people to come to Toron-
to and in response he had told them to
come to Flora.

the letter continued.
THE old shot gun would have been
loaded with Peters No. 2. / made

that | expected TO. Had to threaten
them with all kinds of exposures"
McGowan sat in the room behind
Hines as the letter was read.
Burns made a trip to Canada to
get MCGOWAN to come to Washington
ito purge" himself. McGowan's
father asked Burns if he was the
great detective" and,-iater Attorney
Hancey spoke of Burns, the great
detective"
Burns Got Mad
The witness flew into rage III
the committee does not stop his in
suits, | WILL" declared Burns Sena-
tor Lea argued that Hancey was in
sulting the witness. Senator Fletcher
added to the tense situation by assert
ing Hancey was perfectly justified
and Senator Lea said that the attor-
ney was trying to make fun of the
witness, just as the attorney had of
John Callahan O'LOughlin. of the
Chicago Tribune, by referring to
him as the eX-assistant secretary of
state"
With Senators Lea and Fletcher at
odds, Chairman Dillingham; turned TO
Senator Kern for assistance.
What do you think about it?''
asked Senator Dillingham;.
"Of what" queried Senator Kern.
opening his eyes The laughter whi h
followed the arousng of the Indiana
senator produced peace and Mr.. Han
cey proceeded.
Hancey asked the witness about the
eXtradition Of MCGOWAN. Attorney
Healey, of the committee, suggested
Burns should not believe all that was
told him about extradtion.
Some lawyers do not recognize the
eXtradtion law when II is explained
to them" snapped Hancey.
Are you referring to yourself?"
asked Healy. Chairman Dillingham;
put quietus on the exchange. Burns S

Why Was lie Chosen.

Just why the practically harmless
ground hog should have been chosen
as a representative of either fair or
foul weather according to the whims
of circumstances surrounding GER
tain day in one of the most variable
months Of the year, is somewhat of a
puzzle to work.
Here is the proposition put up to
sir Marmot: If he comes out of his
den, which may be "A hole in the roots
of a tree, and casts a glance askance,
and sees his shadow, then he must
HE back home and hibernate for a
period of six weeks; just because the
poor, reddish, grizzly grey-cOlored
step-brother to the prairie dog hap
pened not to be blind But, on the
other hand, should he not see his
shawod on emerging from his home,
or upon his daily pronenade on to-
morrow. then everything is well and
good and fair weather for six weeks
is to be the fule of the weather god.

A Bad Actor AT Home.

The ground hog is sometimes known
as the woodchuck and is closely allied
to several members of the rodentia,
and while there is little harm about
him, many a youth with one 'spender
would rather boast Of being the mas
ter of dog that has the nerve and
slrenuosity to pull a ground hog from
a hole than to be president for he Is
a most formidable adversary when
provoked at home.
However much the wookchuck con-
trolls the state Of future weather by
being able to discern or not discern
his shadow, the archives of the past
prove good grounds for libel from the
standpoint Of Sir Ground Hog.
Tomorrow viii tell the tale OF
whether he gets to see his "shadder'
or not.

Sayings of Sages


I Honest people have taken it as an

for an oath, and there has been by far
more drinking and much more abuse
of liquor than ever before"

enness is not the sin Of drink but of
the drunkard.'
Bishop Brooks, of Oklahoma: Il
am not strictly opposed to anyone's
using liquor. 1t is a matter of mans
personal privilege
Monsiegneur Harkins, of Massachu-

those who endeavor to enlist scripture
On their side by maintaining that The

either be themselves very ignorant and
SILLY, If they really believe it, or must
be fostering a pious fraud in the hope
of deluding the simple into what is

harm than good to the cause for which
they are employed"

No Middle Ground

Throughout the whole country the
people are awakening up to realiza-
ton of the intent OF the liquor traffic
to rule and ruin this free land OF ours.
The religious press is speaking out!
The pulpits are beginning to thunder!
Men who have heretofore been quiet,
are becoming indignant at the brazen
impotence OF the rum power. Patriot
ism and love for humanity are rising
above party fealty. Men are sec ing
that there is no compromise with this
curse! That this country cannot re-
main "half drunk and half sober
/ That it must become one or the other.
There is no middle ground. Either
the lords OF rum will rule, and vice
aad debauchery prevail, or the intelli-
gence and virtue Of the nation must
overthrow it aud take the reins of
government in its own hand. The con-
| fiict il irrepressible! There are no
half way measures No settling it by
that sham of shsms, high license. Men
may devise schemes and plans to stave
off the inevitable, but they are and
must be abortive. The rum power is
determined to fasten itself permanently
upon this nationl And the intelligence
and conscience of the nation is equally
determined that it shall not do i'll
There may be parrying and thrusting,
and preliminary diminishing, but the
battle 10 bound TO come, and when it
does it will not be drawn battle! One
or the other will go down. Ii it shall
be intelligence and conscience, the
history of the republic is finished, the
hope of the world blotted oct If it
shall be trium plant then deliverance
and blessing has heretofore never
known.
The saloon must go. The blood Of
the myriads it has slain cries out from
the earth for its overthrow. The groans
and tears Of heart broken parents, The
agonies of worse than widowed wives,
the shame and degradation of count
iCs5 nOSJ vi cDlluIcD, go up " hCdNth
in one mighty accusation against il.
Are our eyes blinded, that we cannot
see the malignant curse it works upon
our fellows. Are our ears loaded, that
we cannot hear the mighty cry of
agony that goes up continually from
its victims? Are we so selfish, so care
less of the welfare Of those of our
brethren, that we shall not arise in the
interest of eternal right and extermi-
nate these plague spots Of modern
civilization, stop up these breeding
holes Of hell, shut forever those gates
of death through whose portals there
goes down to damnaiion an army of
$4,000 of our felow-men ever year?
The saloon is the key To the enemy's
position Let us capture it and break
his defensive line. With the saloon
swept away, the strength Of the foe
will have departed, as did thatof Sam-
son when he was shorn of his locks
