minor points on which tho defence rests
Among these witnesses was Mary Boz

are represented by his attorneys as being
the prime movers in a plot TO blacken
the character Of Judge Archibald

ed according to the suggestions OF Judge
Archibald. but on objections by the House
managers he was not permitted to tes-

a. 8. Worthington. one OF Judge Arch
bald's counsel continued his efforts to
prove that the Katydid cum dump. on
which the main article OF Impeachment

that the charges that Judge Archibald

road because OF his judicial position were
groundless.
G. S. Woodruff. OF Scranton. testified

Foraker Denies Oil Influence"

Mr. Foraker first took up the Archboid
letter favoring the nomination OF Judge
Burkett for the bench IN Ohio II don't
believe I ever answered Mr.. Archbold's
letter" he said IL was not influenced in
the least by it. Another letter asked me
TO oppose the nomination of Smith Ben
net / supported Mr.. Bennett, however.
but he was defeated. I don't believe l
ever answered that letter either" Mr..
Foraker added:
And right here | might say that Mr..
Hearst did not produce here yesterday a
single letter that had not been published
over and over again, except one which
he confessed he had in his poke: the
night he read the first letters and which
showed that / had returned the $4,000 10
the Standard Oil Company about which
he talked so much. He concealed that
letter.
Mr. Foraker, taking up the two cert
ifcates of deposit for $1,000 from the
Standard oil Company TO him, reiterated
that the money was for services as attor-
ncy in Ohio litigation and that tho
Standard oil employment had nothing
to do with legislation in Congress.
Mr. Foraker testified that the $4,000
sent him by Mr.. Archbold was a loan
he had requested from several sources
to enable him TO buy The Ohio State
Journal" mo one ever got ahead OF
Senator Hanna. and as he wanted The
State Journal he got it, and returned

Democrats Grab and Scuttle.

The Democratic members Of the senate

President Taft's nominations reported u
the Democratic caucus this morning that
at least the military nominations shoulu
be confirmed. but asked for further Tune

other than military. There was keen sus-
picion that this request was mere spar

formation that military nominations
would not be longer held up, Senator
Cullom, at the instance OF Senator war
rem, male the motion for an executive
session at the conclusion Of morning
business" Immediately the Democrats
performed a most undignifed scuttle.
Senator MARITIME demanded rollcall on
the motion, but almost before he had tha

the Former Senator.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Ex-Senator j. b.
Foraker, Of Ohio, produced To-Day before

by Gilchrist Stewart. purporting to De

field of how WINFIELD and Charles stump
took the "Archbold letters from the
Standard oil Offices and sold them to a
representative Of William r. Hearst.
Both WINFIELD and Stump were engaged
in Mr.. Archbolds office at the time the
letters disappeared. WINFIELD. q negro
is son OF Mr.. Archbold's butler.
Mr.. Hearst said yesterday that he did
not know how the letters were procured
declared the former Senator. Such 4
preposterous story as that you might tell
10 the marines, but to no one else
Mr.. Foraker said that Stewart in 1903
sent him a newspaper clipping, in which
W. A. Ullman, attorney for c. 7. Tatt
was reported 10 have consulted with Mr.
Hearst about the letters before they were
published, and suggested that Ullman. MT.
Taft and John r. Cronin. the latter for
merly connected politically with Mr..
Hearst be called as witnesses.
Mr.. Foraker said that about week ago
he had Mr.. Stewart go to Chicago, where
WINFIELD was working as waiter at
No. 226 Wabash avenue. and ascertain
what he knew. Upon the interview, he
said. Stewart had based his report. What
that report contained Mr. Foraker pro-

vouch for its accuracy. He suggested
that the committee call WINFIELD and

Among the letters produced were some
written in 1906. in which the Standard
OIL Company sought to retain Foraker In

and in which he declined. The former
Senator explained:
The conditions had greatly changed
since my former employment, largely be-
cause OF the prosecutions against the
company under the Elkins interstate COM
merce act. which ! had helped TO frame.
Furthermore, the employment proposed
was different In It's character from that
which ! had previously accepted. That

Ohio affairs, with which Congress had

In her pitiable degradation there re-
mains to her one true and noble i'm
pulse, an intense love for her boy. To
protect him from disgrace, she shoots
the paramount who has solved the
secret of her early life. and would
levy blackmail on the father of her
son.
At the trial which ensues, she will
not speak for fear OF disclosing her
identity, and she becomes Madame X,
the unknown. The proof is clear that
she is guilty, but there arises a youth,
appointed by the court, to conduct her
defence, who pleads with inspired elo-
quence for pity and for mercy. The
mysterious woman feels inexplicahIy
drawn toward the stripping, while
he in turn is moved by something
more than the mere sympathy Of ar
attorney for a client in distress. Then
suddenly Madame X discovers that
the youth is none other than her son
