LORIMER HARD HIT;
ROASTS PROMINENT MEN.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Renew-
ing his attacks upon his opponents,
Senator Lorimer today began the con-
clusion Of his speech of defense in
The senate. His belligerent attitude
of yesterday, when he asked for no
quarters, but asasiled those who had
been active in prosecuting the case
against him, was equally as pro-
nounced today.
He launched once more into an at
tack on Col. Roosevelt and charac-
terized him as inaccurate and unre-
liable"
The report of the minority members
of the committee, which Investigated
the election waas heard by well filled
galleries, and at 1905 the audience
heard Mr.. Lorimer. Dramatic gest-
ures again characterized his delivery
as he strobe back and forth in the
center of the aisles of the senate
chamber.
"Was ever mortal man more COM
pletely surrounded by conspiracy and
intrigue" exclaimed Lorimer dramat-
ically. "The president of the United
States, William II. Taft, Theodore
Roosevelt, the ex-president, and a
former Democratic candidate for pres
idency, William Jennings Bryan, and
the trust press of the country are all
in it, all Joined in conspiracy to
poison the minds of citizens in order
that one man might be destroyed to
satisfy malice of the most corrupt set
of newspaper owners known to the
history of the country"
Mr.. Lorimer asserted that the Helm
comittee of the Illinois legislature
used subterfuge to bring about sec
ond inquiry by the United States sem
ate
He declared the hearing had been
neither impartial nor thorough and
asserted it was conducted only to
bring the matter into the senate again
that it might be tried by new set
of judges.
"You cannot strike out the former
verdict of the senate" he exclaimed
"and believe that l have title that
has been declared valid"

The Denver papers state that the
prairie dogs are the latest social in
novation. AS result Of similar fad
prevailing on Texas creek 20 years
ago, the farmers out there had to
spend large sums of money to exter-
inmate the dear pets, which soon null
tiplied sufficiently to destroy the
crops.
Frank Foley, the chief owner Of
the Pennington cannery, arrived
from the east last evening, where he
has been purchasing supplies for the

SOME STARTLING EVIDENCE RE-
YEALED AT HEARING OF HAIR
RY KENDALL THAW
Western Press.

Western Press.
NEW YORK, July 12.-The Thaw
lunacy hearing in White Plains closed
last night, as far as admission OF
testimony is concerned with the COM
motion furnished by the last two OF
the % witnesses called during the day
by Clarence j. Shearn to establish the
present and part nationality of Harry
Kendall Thaw. These witnesses were
Mary Copley Thaw, aged mother of
the prisoner and Mrs. George Lauder
Carnegie, nee Margaret Thaw Harry s
sister. Both Mrs. Thaw aand Mrs.
Carnegie furnished the strongest cor
roborative evidence that thehe actual
ly was, as charged by Thaw a plan
to send him without trial, to Mattea-
wan state hospital for the insane.
Mrs. Thaw in low voice testified
that when the news of the killing of
Stanford White by her son reached
her in London ON the way to Cure in
Switzerland. She told of her return
to this country and of her talk with
Louis Delafield and Judge Olcott, rep
senting Harry at the Hotel Lorraine
in the middle OF July 1906.
"Mr Delafield told me our only de-
Tense was insanity" stated Mrs. Thaw
amid intense silence. ''He said he was
in a position to know that friends of
the family of Mr.. White would prefer
to avoid trial, which would cause n
scandal and distress many of the in
nocent families, Mr.. Delafield did
not seem to have my sons interest at
heart. His statement that public trial
would distress many inocent families
touched my altruistic heart"

father having terrible temper" tes-
titled Mrs. Carnegie. He said on oc-

REPUBLICANS WILL STICK.

Boosting Roosevelt as a Republican
candidate for the presidency and fol.
lowing Roosevelt out of the Repub-
lican party are two very different
things. Tens of thousands of enthu.
sastic Roosevelt supporters who die
the one thing are refusing to do the
other. They were loyal TO their favor
ite while he was Republican, but
when he deserted the party because
he could not control it they drew the
line.
There were two good reasons for
this course. First, they know that
third parties, with very rare excep-
tons, never amount to anything and
soon die out. Second, they have a
genuine affection for the old party
with which they have been affiliated
for years-perhaps lifetime-and
are unwilling to turn against it mere
ly because leader whom they liked
failed to get from it honors which no
American ever yet received and which
no American ought to ask.
Few of the Roosevelt followers had
any real grievance against President

rauss he was a bold and dashing lead

nis1tion. They respected Taft As an

1t is claimed that the objection of
Great Britain to the Panama canal
bill which is in the process of con-
struction may result in an extended
controversy. Possibly the bill may be
in violation of some treaty between
the two countries. 1t appears to us
that since the United States is the on
ly nation enterprising enough to un-
dertake such a gigantic affair as the
construction of the Panama canal
that all other nations had better
keep out Of our way. This country
is able to attend to those matters
in which our money is placed without
tie advice or dictation Of any other
nation. 1t is time for England and
Can4da TO look after their oxn affairs
and not those Of this country. Ever

LONDON, July 12.-The members
Of the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery company of Massachusetts paid
visit to Windsor today under the
escort of their namesake organization

The Democrats are claiming that
union labor will be with them this
time. They have always claimed that
they have the labor vote in their
pockets before election, but somehow
labor does not like low tariff, which
necessarily means low wages and an
overgrown Coxy army. The labor
vote has never followed the endorse
ment of its leaders, since the labor
ing classes find that their interests
vary just the same as the interst of
others according to the section of
the country in which the laborers are
engaged and the kind of labor engaged

One Of the important questions be,
ing discussed by the Republicans in
the various states is whether or not
Roosevelt electors can be voted for
on the regular Republican ticket. 1t
is claimed by some able attorneys
that they can and by others that they
can not. This is a question that may
have to be settled in the courts. In
South Dakota Roosevelt electors are
nominated on the regular Republican
ticket. Down in Kansas all but one
of the electors nominated at the con-
vention are Roosevelt men. In Cal
ifornia it is proposed to follow the
same plan. This is certainly an in
novaticn in American politics. This
is not surprising, however, since our
people are used to the novel in human
affairs and rather like that kind Of
an experience even if it is costly

The flood that wrought so much

threatened to wipe out the San Indian

several adobe buildings swept away.
1t was only owing to the foresight and
energy of Mr.. Shelton that many lives
were not lost, as, besides the hundreds
of Indians at the agency, there were
many white visitors who had come to
see the fair. The crops were ruined
and magnificent iron bridge which
the government had built across the
San Juan was swept away. The build
ings have been replaced and bill for
the construction of a S50,0G0 bridge
