killed. Dowd committed suicide and
Morley surrendered. The fight oc-
Cured between Gretna and Chalco.
The fight between the posses and the

bandits with revolverS. Two posses
engaged the men at once, having cross
fired on them. Taylor was killed by
the bullets of the officers after which
Dowd, recognizing the hopelessness
OF the situation turned his weapon up
on himself. Morley signified his wish
to give up the fight. Blunt, the young
the desperadoes in his sleigh, was
found dead, but whether from the bull
lets of the convicts or the officers, is
not clear.
Morley Also Killed.
At 2:15 O'Clock it was reported that
Morley also was killed. Sheriff Hyers
of Lincoln, was said to have fired the
shot that killed Taylor or Gray. Geo

occurred, is said to have been slightly
hurt. None of the officers was wound
ed.

securely that they believed they could
not liberate themselves, they tore the
telephone instrument from its place,
cut the wires, and left the Hall home

stay they compelled the people at the
farm house to cook their meals, and
permitted no one to leave the house
After leaving the, Hall home, the fugi-

secured arms, ammunition and cloth

August 8, but Time Of
Trial Is Uncertain.

Washington. July 19.-Judge Rob-
ert w. Archibald Of the United States
commerce court, charged with mis-
conduct by the house of representa-
tives. appeared before the impeach-
ment court of the senate today and

him.
In the thirty-five minutes that he
sat in the senate while the prelimina-
ry arrangements for his trial were be-
ing made. Judge Archibald took no
personal part in the proceedings. His
attorney. A. 8. Worthington of Wash
ington, conducted affairs for him,

ney Robert w. Archibald, Jr., Of Phil
adelphia. Managers on the part of
the house are required to file their

BREATHING SPELL
IN DARROW CASE
Both Sides in Conference to-
day on Future Course
in Trial.

Los Angeles, July 20.-Suspension
of the bribery trial of Clarence. S.
Darrow over today was apparently
welcome to both sides in the long
drawn out struggle. Both sides held
conferences throughout the day----the
defense to arrive at a decision as to
the next witness to be placed upon
the stand, and the prosecution to de-
termine whether prominent business
men would be called in the states eff
fort to controvert the story told on
the stand Thursday and Friday by
Lincoln Steffens. Chief Counsel Rog-
ers of the defense said probably the
next witness would not be decided
upon until Monday.
Lincoln Steffens and District Attor-
ney Fredericks. the two men who
claimed to have brought about the
termination of the Mcnamara case,
faced each other as antagonists for
nearly four hours yesterday.
The question of the rightfulness of
the doctrines expounded by Steffens-
the witness contention that what he
designated as social crimes should not
be furnished but that conditions
which lead to such crimes as dyna-
miting should be treated instead
was more at issue than the question
of the guilt or innocence Of the ac-
cused.
Steffens characterized himself at
the very beginning of his cross exam
ination as worse than an avowed
anarchist man who believed in
Christianity"
often disregarding the objections of
the defense otfnrnoyc h4
thrusts of the prosecutor.
Asked on redirect examination
what he meant by his reply as to his
beliefs. Steffens said that he was
worse than an anarchist in the sense
that he was more radical for while
anarchy demanded justice. Christian
ity demanded love and charity in ad-
dition.
Time after time Prosecutor Fred
ericks sought to have the witness say
that the elimination of the McNa-
mara case was caused by the arrest of
Bert Franklin for bribery and as Of
ten Steffens insisted that all parties
concerned In the defense had agreed
to the settlement before the bribry
were made public.
The witness told again Of the con-
ferences, with local business men with
a view of closing the labor prosecu-
tfons and bringing about an era of
better understanding between labor
and capital; Of the futile efforts to
have the district attorney agree to the
plan Of freeing ]. ]. MCNAMARA after
his brother pleaded guilty.
Steffens said 1t was his belief at the
time Of the negotiations that the Ma
tional Erectors' association was di-
recting the course Of the district at
torney. He knew that the association
mad sent protests to General Otis
against the liberation Of ]. j. Nc
Namara.

Their Fidelity in the
Chicago Convention.

Washington. July 2o.-President
Taft in a speech in the east room of
the white house TO a delegation from

gro league today publicly acknowl-
edged his debt of gratitude to the

tional convention pledged and in
structed for him. who stood with the
Taft forces through the fight. II
want TO say to you" said the presi-
dent how much 1 appreciate your
standing firm in my behalf at a time
when it was intimated to the country
that we could not depend upon you.
You demonstrated there your appre-
citation of the accomplishments of the
republican party for your race in the
past and your abiding faith in its
future friendship. You stood like a
solid rock
The delegation presented resolu-
tions to the president asking for the
restoration of the battalion of the
Twenty-fiftn infantry that was in
urging him to recommend a federal
statute against lynching. Mr.. Taft
said in reply that he had done every
thing possible under the law in re-
gard to the 25th infantry. He de-
plored lynching. he said, but did not
believe that the federal government
could interfere with the states with
criminal cases.
II say to you, gentlemen" the
president added. that a man who
has been engaged in lynching within
the federal jurisdiction who comes up
to me for executive clemency will
have his petition received with that
feeling on my part that there is no
crime that ought to be more severely
punished and more completely con-
demned"

Compromise Differences
Over Provisions.

pute OF more than two months the

post roads today reached an agree
ment on the postoffice appropriation
bill and the measure will be reported

thor of the original provision in the

Subcommittee on parcels post.

Bourne's plan. 1t retained Bourne's
scheme for the division of the coun-
try into zones which the rates for the

low that the project would be found
impracticap1e.
To meet these objections eight
zones We're outlined instead of six is
originally planned and the rates pro-
posed by Senator Bourne were slight
ly increa sed. The maximum rate re-
mains at IL cents, the rate Of the pos
tai union.
