 telegram announcing Crane acceptance of Wilson's invitation to lunch followed on the heels of this statement As one of the original contributors, and donor of the largest sum to the La Toilette campaign fund, Crane helped to make possible the senator's fight for the republican nomination. His indicated espousal of Governor Wilson's cause is hailed as an index to the sentiment among La Toilette followers.
 Van Hise has been for years a warm supporter of La Toilette. It is not unlikely that Crane and Van Hise will meet Clark here tomorrW Clark, Wilson said. might discuss Legislation now before the house, but he did not know. If Clark brought the topic up on his own initiative. it would be discussed, he said
 Wilson conferred late into the af- ternoon with Robert Hudspeth. Will liam McCOmbs and others upon the message he will send to the national committee at Chicago Monday. Many believe Wilson will recommend Me Combs as national chairman. Me Combs thinks New York would be a good place for headquarters.

WARM WORDS OF LOR|MER
Accused Senator Speaks in Self Defense; Final Vote Will Probably Not Be Taken Until Early Next Week
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON. July 12.-The sen ate failed again today to vote on the Lea resolution. to declare vacant the seat of Mir. Lorimer of Illinois. Con sideration for Lorimer. who held the floor five hours speaking in his own defense. induced the senate to recess until ten o'clock tomorrow morning An attempt will be made to reach a vote tomorrow.
 An attack on Senator Kern in Lorimer's speech today charging Kern with misstating facts and with shining and smearing over records" may prolong the debate into next week.
 Lorimer issued direct challenge to Kern to point ito anything in my private, financial. commercial or pO- litical life" where LOrimer had been guilty of wrong doing. He pledged himself to resign and relieve the senate of the embarrassment of a vote" and walk from the senate never to return. if Kern made good"
 The Indiana senator was absent from the senate during Lorimer's at tack as were Lea and Kenyon against whom Lorimer had also been denun- ciatory during his speech. It is said that Kern will answer Lorimer before a vote is taken.
 Lorimer assailed Roosevelt in the conclusion of his speech. The bel ligerent attitude assumed by them characterized the report of the min ority members of the committee which investigated his election as "inaccu- rate and unreliable" he said
 His attack on Roosevelt was based on the testimony of George B Cor telyou, regarding the $1.900,000 cam paign fund raised by the republicans i in 1904. "Of course not cent of this | could have been contributed by pre- l datory wealth" said LOrimer with | dramatic gestures, as he strode back 1 and forth in the aisle of the senate | chamber, and referred to Roosevelt as the custodian of the morals of the country, private and public. A let ter from Taft to Roosevelt express l ing the hope that Lorimer might be
 busted, was taken up and he declared that his enemies had sneaked up be- | hlnd him like thief in the night
 CompIetely surrounded by this con-
 spiracy and with the intrigue of Taft. Roosevelt; Bryan and the trust press 1 of the country, all joined in the ef- fort to poison the minds of the cit
 lzenship and destroy one man to sat 1sfy the malice of the most corruDt set of newspaper owners known to history. he declared that the hearing
 had been neither impartial nor
 thorough and he said: You can- not strike out the former verdict of
 the senate. l believe I have 3 title
 which has been declared valid"

It Is Stated That No Effort Will Be Made to Hold the Latest Rebel Capital Against Advancing Fed eral Troops
DENIAL BY OROZCO
 OF DESTRUCTION
Rebel General Expresses Confidence in the Result of the Revolution Which He Says Has the Sympa- thy of the People
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

JUAREZ, July 12.-The departure today of all rebel troops except 8 small garrison of 200 is regarded a proof of the rebels intention not to attempt to fight for the retention of Juarez The government forces, how ever, cannot repair the Mexican Gen. traI railroad in less than two months and no activity close to the American border is looked for any sooner.
 With the exception of about 800 men scattered along the Mexican Central there are few troops in the path of the federals. The rebel army is stretched tonight southwest from here along the Mexican Northwestern preparing to invade the state of So- rora.
 General OrozcO denied today that there was any dissatisfaction among the officers in his ranks. General Fuente. who was reported to have gone to San Antonio to resurrect the cause of Emilio Gomez, was said by the rebel chieftan. to have gone to Baltimore to have his wounded arm treated.
 The rebel general issued tonight 1 statement as to the status of the rev. olution The revolution in Mexico will triumph because it is just and has the support of the Mexican peo- rle. That our forces made to re- occupy from day to day points of vantage is not regarded as important since they will be able to control more soil than that upon which they | stand. The government which shame Iesslv violates the laws, which cOm- mits monstrous electorate frauds as was done recently in congressional elections will have little weight against the national indignation. The Mexican people have the right to lib- ertv and will have it when they have a president who respects the law and who does not trick with it"

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

 In the cross examination of Harry H Jones, a local newspaper reporter, Assistant District Attorney Ford prac- tically charged the neWspaperman with having been employed by the defense The charge was denied by the witness and resented by the chief attorney for the defense. Rogers as serted that Ford had deliberately in suited the reporter because of the unfriendly relations existing between the district attorneys office and the newspaper employing the wit ness.
 Asked by the court whether he considered Ford's cross examination an insult, Jones said he did not as he had previous knowledge that such an attack would be made. When Bain again took the stand, Rogers asked him if he ever told l. B. Henderson, neighbor, that Oar row and Hartman had nothing, to dc with his corruption. He said he | had not. He was then asked if he | had been present at raid on a i gambling house in which others were arrested. and he was not, because he was a stool pigeon" for the district ! attorneys office.

An Impression That the Supreme Court Will Hand Down an Opinion Sustain ing or Dismissing Much Discussed Injunction
GENERALLY AGREED
 TT IS FUNNY TANGLE
A Layman Expresses His View That a Most Absurd Proposition Has Been Presented However It May Be Looked At

It is quite likely that the supreme court will decide the Davis Osborn election suit today. Meantime the proceeding is getting as much dis cussion as at any time since it was started
 There are numbers of people both inside and outside the legal frofes- sion ready and willing at moments notice to say just what the court ought to do. Particularly is this true of the laymen. but at that an inter- esting proposition is advanced occa- sionally even by someone who makes no profession of legal knowledge
 One of these who, however, is so chary of publicity that his name cannot be used, expressed his thoughts on this wise:
 The law gets people into some funny tangles sometimes, and it's mighty hard for a man who hasn't spent d few years finding out the why's and wherefores to tell some times just what it's all about.
 Now. take this election case and compare it with other cases You will find that for some reason the usual rules do not seem to apply Tn any other sort of proceeding a man cannot sit on a jury if he has as much as a five cent interest in the proceeding. But every one of these judges has pecunary interest in this case, vet no one has raised the slightest objection to having them decide it. There is no fault to be found with the court. I suppose ev- erybody else feels as I do that these men can be trusted absolutely It is merely funny thing about the law It seems strange there would not be some provision, in a case of this sort to have the matter decided by some tribunal whose interest is not in volved.
 But there is another proposition even funnier than that We all know this whole case turns on the meaning to be given the constitution. Now, as it happens, two members of the supreme court were members also of the constitutional convention, and l helped write the very parts of that constitution that are in dispute. It | seems to me if there are any two men in the world who know what thai constitution means it is two of the men on the supreme bench. But it personal knowledge in arriving at a decision. Instead. they must read the authorities. study the precedents, dig lup rules of construction, and in this way try to arrive at the meaning of their own work. I don't profess to be lawyer but it seems to me that comes dangerously close to being an absurd proposition"
 And if you were to discuss the
 same proposition with the people gen erally you would find that a good many of them hold views similar to
 those expressed above. Their views
 may not be according to established
 rules of legal construction but they
 are none the less positive on thai
 account. And it is a funny situation a situation for which our system o
 laws, and not the courts. is responsi.
