Strikers in Demonstration.

Lawrence, Mass, March S.-The
striking textile workers made a big,
although quiet, demonstration this
morning prior to the time for opening
the mills. Thousands of men and
women crowded Essex street, and the
approaches to the factories were lined
with pickets, but no serious trouble oc-
cured, Arrests of strikers were made
for too strenuous picketing or disor,
derby conduct. No increase in the
number of employees resuming work
was noticed.

by Taft, Senate Puts America Out
OF Peace Game.
Washington, March S. American
participation in general arbitration OF
International difficulties is a dead is
sue so far as concerns this session OF
congress, and probably for many years
to come, according to government Off
Gals who today summed up the sen
ate's action yesterday in stripping the
proposed arbitration treaties with
France and Great Britain of their vital
| features.
There is little thought that Prcsi-
dent Taft will submit the treaties in
the mangled form to either of the pow
ers for possible approval The amend
ed treaties sent to the white house to-
day will await the return to Washing
ton of President Taft, and if routine is
| followed he will send them to the state
department. Secretary Knox, who is
today due at Amapala, on the west
coast of Honduras, will be advised by
cable of what has happened, and as
matter of form some consultation must
be held between the president and the
secretary before the next step can be
taken.
AS a matter of courtesy the British
and French ambassadors will be IN
formed of the senate's action, but that
! I,, tod g an
them to accept the amendment unless
followed by further representations
from the state department.
Washington, March S.-Suripped OF
the clause which it was claimed would
invade the constitutional treaty-mak
ing power of the senate, and with
many other limitations added, the
general arbitration treaties between
the United States and England and
France, proposed by President Tar
and Secretary Knox as forerunnel
for universal peace, were ratified by
the senate by a vote of 76 to 3. Ihe
senators who voted against the rati
fications were LOrimer, Martin anC
Reed. The latter two are democrats
Both the treaties, by the senate'
action, are up in the air, and in thei
modified form they must be referred
to England and France.
BY the terms of an amendment pro
posed by Senator Bacon of Georgia
the senate consented to the ratifica
ton of the treaties with the provision
that they did not authorize the sub

MRS. DAVIS
ON THE STAND
ACCUSED MURDERESS TESTlFIES
IN OWN DEFENSE.
TELLS OF THEIR LOVE AFFAIR
Relates Story Of Her Relationship
With Ira Churchill, the Man She
kiled-lnterest in the Trial Is
Growing Daily.

Harrington, Neb., March S.-Every
seat in the courtroom was taken when
the Maggie Davis murder trial was
resumed. The interest in the case is
growing more intense every hour.
The work of taking testimony is be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
Mrs. Davis was called to the stand
at II o'clock as the first witness for
the defense. She related the story of
her intimate relationship with Ira
Churchill the man whom she killed,
and identified a number of letters and
photographs in substantiation of her
statements.
The contention of the defense is
that the woman was made insane by
| the cruel treatment of the man who
| is alleged to have deceived her and
! abandoned her at the last moment for
another woman In the working out
of this theory the defense will intro
duCe expert medical testimony in the
way of hypothetical questions, which
will be offset by other expert testi
mOny introduced by the state.
The witnesses called by the state
included the hired man, the sheriff
the attending physician and others
all of whom testified to the fact o.
the killing and the means by which il
was accomplished.
States Star Witness.
The first witness called to the
stand by the state late yesterday aft
ernoon was b. A. Hall, the hired MAJ
who was with the late Ira Churchill
at the time he was shot. Mr.. Hall il
the states star witness, for he wa
an eye witness to the tragedy and i
very clear in his testimony. He ties
titled that he and his employer wer
milking in the barn shortly after SUI
per on the evening of the murde
when Mrs. Davis walked into tn
building and with the words, 81 toll
you what | would do to you if you lie
to me-" shot Mr.. Churchill dead, TIL
only reply when he tumbled off tn
milk stool was, you, | know" TIL
testimony of the states witnesses a
, to the fact of the killing is so clea
that the defense in the first trial mad
, no effort to break it down and wi
, probably follow the same course
, this.

BICAMY CHARGE IN SUIT
Malinda Haywood Never Legally Mar
ried, Cross Petition Says.

That Malinda Haywood was guilty
of bigamy and never legally married
to the late George Haywood, is q
charge made by the defense in a suit
to quiet title to Harrison street prop
erty. Now Mrs. Haywood dares her
accuSerS to prove it.
In recent suit Mrs. Haywood asked
the court to quiet the title to property
known as lot 10, on Harrison street.
Charlotte and Tobias Haywood were
named as defendants in the suit. Now
Charlotte Haywood has filed an an
swer in which she charges that the
plaintiff was never legally married to
George Haywood, who died in Topeka
six years ago. An answer was filed
today by attorneys for Malinda Hay
wood in which they deny the charge
and demand that the defendant name
the man to whom the woman is said
to have been married at the time of
her marriage to Haywood.
If the defendants open the case by
contesting the legality of Malinda
Haywood's marriage to her recent hus-
band, some interesting testimony may
be injected into the trial of the case.
Mrs Haywood denies that her mar
riage was in any manner irregular and
it is up to the defendants to show that
her former husband was living and not
divorced at the time of the woman's
second marriage.

PRIMARY IN OREGON.
Taft. Roosevelt and LaFoIlette Forces
Close Campaign.

Portland. April 1S.-Direct primary
will be held in this state tomorrow by
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. The preference of the voters as
to nominations for president and
United States senator will be expressed
and candidates for congressman and
many state and county officials chosen.
The Republican presidential primary
campaign has been sharply contested.
Senator Robert M. LaFollette closed
yesterday a whirlwind campaign in his
own behalf while the Taft and Roose-
welt forces have been equally busy.
On the Democratic side there has
been little activity though the names
of Wilson. Clark and Harmon appear
on the ballots. Interest in the sena
torial race centers in the contest of
Jonathan Bourne, jr., Republican, for
denomination. He will face three OPP
ponents, of whom the strongest at the
polls. it is believed, will be Ben Dem
ing of Portland.
Congressman A. w. Lafferty. Re
publican, also seeks denomination in
the Second district where he has three
competitors.
