WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10. -
There was a well defined belief in the
senate today when it reconvened to
continue the Lorimer case that the pro
Lorimer forces were working to delay
the final vote in hope of changing
several wavering votes to the support
of Mr.. Lorimer.
The anti-Lorimer forces practical
ly conceded that his speech Of yes
terday had put back on Lorimer's side
two senators they had counted upon
as antagonistic TO him on the second
vote. These are Senators Cullum
of Illinois, his colleague, and Tillman
of South Carolina.
The belief that these two senator's
had determined to oppose the resolu-
tion to unseat Lorimer because Of his
analysis Of evidence against him was
generally accepted as a fact today
by his opponents.
Senator Kern had not determined
whether he would reply TO Mr.. Lori
mer when the latter again took up his
speech at the opening Of today's ses-
sion. Almost the first utterance of
the Illinois senator was a renewal of
the challenge to Senator Kern and his
associates TO refute certain of Lori
mer's statements as to the evidence
brought out by the investigation and
again the defy brought no response

DENVER WAR EAGLES AGAIN

Tomorrow the War Eagles of Den

ball park, and every Durango person
interested in baseball should be found
boosting for the success Of the home
team.
Our boys should have two out Of
the three games. As it is each has "a
game and there is no good reason why
we should not take the game tomor-
row.
We are informed that Stanley will
be on the slab for the home team.
1t viii be remembered that those Ea-
giles could not find his curves in the
last game and we predict no better
luck for them tomorrow.
1t is our opinion that if the Du-
range people would put little more
enthusiasm into the game that the
players would win games that they
otherwise could not win. 1t is the
custom everywhere for the home peo-
pie to cheer and encourage their own
players particularly when they de-
serve it as our boys do. When the
spectators who witnesses the players
are bound To be encouraged and play
with more life and interest. 1t takes
enthusiasm to make nearly every
thing move along in this old world and
enthusiasm back Of good judgment
will make nearly everything move that
is movable. Let the crowd attend the
game tomorrow; get wide awake; then
keep awake and watch the boys go
after those Eagles.
