Necessity of Winning and Says

Fight in the Open.

Washington, July 12.-Renewing
his attack upon his opponents. Sena-
tor Lorimor today began the conclu-
sion of his speech of defense in the
senate.
His belligerent attitude Of yesterday.
when he asked for no quarter but as
sailed those who had been active in
prosecuting the case against him, was
apparent from the outset. He launch
ed once more into an attack upon
Theodore Roosevelt and characterized
as inaccurate and unreliable" the re-
port of the minority members of the
committee that Investigated his cleo
ton.
Well filled galleries and an attentive
audience of house members heard
Loriner. The attack on Roosevelt
with which he opened his speech was
based on the testimony given yester-
day by George D. Cortelyou before the
senate committee regarding the ST.
100000 campaign fund raised for the
presidential campaign in 1904.
"Of course" he exclaimed, mot a
cent of that S1.90o.0O0 could have
wealth of the country Surely all of
1t was a free gift of the common peo-
pie of whom this man is the great
champion. No malefactor contributed
to that fund; only the common people
of whom he was guardian"
Lorimer referred to Roosevelt as
'the custodian of all morality Of the
country. private and public"
The letter from President Taft to
Col. Roosevelt expressing the hope
that Lorimer be ousted. which became

was again taken up by Lorimer. He
drew attention to Taft's phrase en-
phasizing the necessity of winning. u
He declared his enemies had tried to
win not by free and fair fight but
by sneaking up behind like a thief In
the night.
Was ever mortal man more COM
pletely surrounded by conspiracy and
intrigue" exclaimed Lorimer dramati-
caily. The president Of the United
States, William Howard Taft: Roose-
welt. ex-president; former democratic
candidate for presidency. William
Jennings Bryan, and the trust press OF
the country; all were in it. All join
ed in the conspiracy to poison the
minds of the citizenship of the coun-

destroyed.

For three hours he inveighed
against the newspapers which have
fought him and against his political
enemies. The attitude of President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt toward
him and his associates in Illinois pol
tics occupied much of his time. The
senate did not force him to a conclu-
sion of his speech. His emphatic de-
livery of the denuncation of his op-
ponents weakened him physically and

pone the trial until the autumn
Chairman Clayton Of the house com.
mlttee on the judiciary and one OF
the prosecuting managers, declared
today his conviction that the senate
would take up the Impeachment
soon.
Senator Clark of Wyoming (repub-
llcan) chairman of the senate iudic-
larN committee. and Senator Sim
mons OF North Carolina, the demo-
cratic leader. expressed the view last
night that the senate would acquiesce
with Judge Archbald's wishes as to
having an immediate trial or being
allowed time to prepare his defense.
Among some of the republican
leaders it was suggested that while
the case probably would be formally
presented to the senate next Monday.
that body might not do more now
than to determine the date of the
trial and that the senate might re-
cess until November. then proceeding
with the hearing with A proba blity
Of completing the case before the
Christmas holidays.
The Impeachment grows ont of
charges that while occupying fed
eral bench judge Archibald was con-
nected with negotiation for valuable
culm bank properties in Pennsylvania
and with other questionable transac
tions. using his official position to at
tempt the enrichment of himself and
certain friends.

The treaty is plain and clear to

That is the real meaning of the
treaty and we shall carry out its pro-
visions in good faith. We have the
right under the treaty to charge or
not to charge tolls for our own ships.
There is no doubt baout that. Every
lawyer of standing who has investi-

be questioned now. and doubtless con-

their position is untenable."

They were:

EVIDENCE STARTS
IN MARROW CASE
State Claims to Have Strong
Chain Woven About
Accused Murderers.

Chicago. July 12.-Hearing of tes-
timony against Mrs. Rena B. Morrow,
on trial before Judge George Ker-
sted. charged with the murder Of her
husband, Charles B. Morrow, an in
ventor. was begun today.
The jury was completed yesterday
afternoon and before court adjourned
Assistant States Attorney John E.
Northup made the opening state
ment for the prosecution.
In outlining the states case. As
sistant States Attorney Norhup said
in part:
The evidence will show that, fol-
lowing the death of her husband,
Mrs. Morrow told people living in the
house to say that Mr.. Morrow had
financial difficulties and that 1t was
on this account that he took his life.
I'VE expect to prove that prior to
the tragedy Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow had
frequent quarrels over money mat
ters. The evidence will reveal that
the fatal shots were fired with an
automatic revolver and that 1t would
have been impossible for Mr.. Morrow
to have shot himself without using
his. thumb and finger in order to fire
the shots through his left side and
brain. Mrs. Morrow and her hus-
band quareled the evening prior to
tho finding Of the body on the rear
porch Of their residence"

have been drawn for great diplo-

tion of whether this country may dis

The United States will hold that 50
