Makes Vigorous Attack Upon Enemies
Before Senate.

Makes Vigorous Attack Upon Enemies
Before Senate.
Washington, D. C.-Senator Lori
mer Friday began his speech defend
ing his right to his seat. He followed
Senator Reed of Missouri. who had
made bitter attack upon MIN and his
election by the Illinois legislature.
The senate chamber filled up slowly
under the call for quorum, but only
Sc senators answered to their names.
The senate galleries were not half
filled. Isl
AS Senator Lorimer began his
speech, he read from manuscript and
his voice was for the first few SEN
fences somewhat indistinct. He de-
clared that he proposed to give the
senate an insight into the character of
the men who, he said, had tried to
ruin him.
'It is true that the senate has the
right to deny me seat in this body, =
he began, "on the f1imsiest pretext or
on no pretext at all. / intend to show
that no vote cast for me was influ-
enced by fraud.
"Mr. President" he said in meas
ured tones, "this is no joke. This is
solemn and serious question. If the
senate decides to follow the views of
the minority of this Investigating
committee, it will be travesty on civ
ilized Jurisprudence, a mockery of JUS
tice. 1t will be declaration that the
senate has decided to follow the red
flag; that it has become the advocate
of anarchy; has adopted the doctrine
of the recall as advocated by its arch
champion.
Senator Lorimer departed from
his manuscript for moment to refer
to the Chicago newspapers. He de-
clared certain of the newspaper own
ers and publishers there would be in
prisonsif the public prosecutors had
been active. Finally he discarded his
manuscript and took q place in the
center aisle from which he could be
heard on both sides of the chamber.
Senator Lorimer charged that while
the Tribune property was worth from
81, 900, 900 to $40, 100000 it paid
taxes on only $4,000. He called
these newspapers robbers of the pub
lie treasury of Chicago" He at
tackled Victor Lawson of the News,
and charged that the News occupied
school land at rental of 81 square
foot and paid no taxes, while less val
liable land across the street rented for
$3.50 foot.
Mr.. Lorimer charged that Mr.. Law
son had secured unlawful reductions in
taxes upon his home and business
property and added that Mr.. Lawson
was trying to drive him out of public
life.
Mr.. Lorimer declared that erroneous
statements had been sent out to the
world by the newspaper agencies.
He referred to what he termed the
control of news sources by Victor
Lawson, Melville E. Stone and Frank
B. Noyes, who formerly ran the Rec
ord Herald for Mr.. Lawson.
Quoting Mr.. Taft's letter to Colonel
Roosevelt in which the president ex-
pressed the belief that Lorimer should
be ousted, Lorimer complained of his
treatment by Mr.. Taft.
81 have no i'll will or bitterness in
my heart toward any senator who
voted against me in the last conrgess,
but it does hurt me that / should have
been tried by the president or the ex-
president of the United States" he
said bitterly.

OPEN HOSTILITIES
Reports Indicate a Battle Be-
tween Sheriff and Insurgents
When Sheriff Attempts to Garry
Out Court Order at Jay.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Dec. 16.-Accord-
ing to a dispatch received here hostili-
ties between Sheriff Bud ThomasOn
and his force of 80 men and residents
of the town of old Jay, who have ia
ken possession of the court house at
that point in an effort to prevent the
removal of county records to the rival
town of new Jay, began last night.
Thomason and his men, according to
the courier who brought the informa-
ton to the town of Grove, marched
into old Jay late last night and open
ed fire on the court house but were
forced to retire under fire of the be-
sieged partisans. So far as can be
learned the first brush was bloodless.
The sheriff, it is said, has established
position a quarter of mile from
the town.
Wire communication with the towT
of Jay is interrupted. Grove is 20
miles from the scene of the reported
conflict.
The sheriff is endeavoring to en-
force an order of the district court
which provides for the removal of the
Delaware county seat from the town
of old Jay, recently established town
site, to new Jay.

Entire Working Population
Lays Down Tools.
JUST TO SHOW STRENGTH
And to Emphasize Stand
Against Proposed War.
The Day Promised to Pass
Without Disturbance.

Paris, Dec. IA general strike of
the whole of the working population
of France ordered to be carried out
today by the general federation of
labor as a protest against war was
partially successful.
1t was understood that all workmen
were to throw down their tools for
one day only in order to show the
strength of the laboring classes and to
demonstrate their power of paralyzing
the government in the event of a
declaration of war.
In Paris itself, the men appear to
have executed the order to strike in
great many instances. Few cabs or
other vehicles were on the streets
while many factories were closed and
the whole of the men connected with
the building trades ceased work for
the day.
Twenty mass meetings. were organ
lied to be held in Paris and the
suburbs this afternoon and numerous
others in different parts of the
provinces.
The authorities took extensive meas
ureS of precaution for the main
tenance of order, but tranquility pre-
vailed everywhere and the day prom
ised to pass without disturbance

UNCLE SAM LOSES
The q. S. Supreme Court De-
cides Against Government
In the Suit Against the Anthra-
cite Railroad.
THE COMBINE is NOT A TRUST
Wins Victory on One Phase
Of the Case.
The SIS Per Cent Contract Is in
Violation of the Law.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The govern
ment today lost it's fight before the
supreme court of the United States to
have the anthracite carrying railroads
and their affiliated coal companies de-
clared to be in a general combination
in violation of the antitrust law.
It won victory in getting the court
to strike down the 65 per cent con-
tracts whereby the railroad com
pany'' buy the output of Independent
mines. Justice Lurton in announcing
the opinion said these contracts were
plainly in violation of the law.
The court also held that the rail-
ways had violated the law by attempt
ing to shut out of the anthracite re-
gion a competitive road through their
control of the Temple Iron company.
As to minor combinations of railways
and coal companies charged to be
violating the law, the court dismissed
the action without prejudice to future
suits, because it held it not fair to re-
quire those groups to make a defense
in an action primarily against a gen
eral combination"
The government suit charged that
the principal anthracite carrying rail-
roads and their affiliated coal COM
panies have entered into general COM
bination to end competition in the
transportation and sale of anthracite.
Several groups of the defendants were
further charged with smaller combin-
ations for the same purpose. The so
called SIS per cent contracts were
agreements whereby the railroad coal
companies were to buy the output of
Independent operators at IS per cent
of the price of coal at tidewater. JUS
tfces Day, Hughes and Pitney took no
part in the decision. There were no
