WINSTON CHURCHILL IS
NOW LESS RADICAL

LONDON, Jan. 9.-People who are
? in position to see more than the care
fully edited political news phich finds
its way to the columns Of the news
papers and who are in close touch with
the political leaders of the day assert
that Winston Churchill is passing
through much the same evolution az
did Joseph Chamberlain. What we have
known SO far, to look at this transfor-
view, is olny Churchill, the caterpillar
slowly evolving into a glorius butter
fly.
In other words, the brilliant young
member OF the present Liberal cabinet,
has recognized the errors Of his past
and is becoming an Imperialist OF the
first water, who in time to come will
think with disgust of the days when he
was the bosom friend Of demagogues
like Lloyd George. Blood will tell, the
Conservative people say, and there is
really nothing in common between the
blue-blooded society man and the chan
cellor of exchequer, the son OF the
people.
Likes New Position.
The transformation undoubtedly be-
gan when Churchill became secretary
Of the navy. The responsibilities of his

position as first lord of the admiralty
rapidly changed him. The job was
one which appealed strongly to his
patriotism and called forth all his
unusual energy. From the very first
his conduct as chief Of the country s
naval defenses won the approval even
OF stern Unionists and as he simultan-
eously carefully abstained from ma
king caustic remarks against his po-
litical opponents, he steadily rose in
favor with the opposition to such an
extension, that rumOr now says
that even In case Of a change in gov
|ernment Churchill is likely to retain
his present high position, it causes lit
tie or no surprise.
Should the change come, there is
little doubt that the UniOnists could do
anything wiser than robbing the enemy
of one OF the most brilliant and prom
ising young mon yretaining him as
first lord. For Winston Churchill loves
his position and is doing excellent
work, which few, if any, of the Con-
servative leaders would be able to i'm
prove on and to depose him might
arose the old fighting spirit within him
and once more transform him into an
exceedingly dangerous political ad
versary.

decided to withdraw from the sena-
torial race in Idaho on account of the
fact that only eight years ago he was
naturalized as a citizen of this coun-

years citizenship as necessary. This
makes a change in the situation, and
the final selection depends upon to

WASHINGTON, AIN. George F.
Baker, president of the First National
Bank of eNw York, and a partner of
Morgan & Co., was the first witness
today before the house committee in
vestigating the money trust.
Since Morgan's retirement from ac-
tice business Baker has taken over
much of the financier's work.
Baker testified that he, with Morgan
and their assistants, control the great
reserves OF money and credits. He
said the First National earned divi-
dends Of over $22,0OO,0O0 during the
last four years, or 226 per cent. This
bank, he stated, organized the First
Security company for the purpose of
owning the stock of other banks, the
ownership OF which is forbidden by the
national banking laws.
Baker denied that this constituted
illegal evasion" He told of the cir
cumstances Of the recent disposal by

referred to in the Tracy affidavit,
that one being, according to his YER
sion, Il don't see why / shouldn't talk
to you" The Benedict girl had called
his attention, as he testified, to the
fact that her father was noticing them
talking together This she did, he
said, by writing.
Mr.. Hand admitted that he had gone
to the high school to see Miss Bene-
dict, but stated that it was on business
regarding the social committee of the
church, of which she was a member.
He denied that he had ever been with
her in the belfry except on the oc-
casion he found the three girls there,
and denied any intimacy with the
Clarke girl. He admitted the meeting
with the Clarke girl at the Stevens
home, but denied that the knife was
her knife, or that he induced her to
swear falsely, although he stated that
he had procured the affidavit she made
at that time. He admitted being in
the church when the two girls, Evelyn
Clarke and Katherine Henley came
there on the day the alleged crime is
supposed to have occurred, and that
he had sent them away, but, he de-
clared, he had never told Miss Henley
that he was to meet Miss Benedict
there. That Miss Benedict came later.
he admitted, but said she just looked
in the door, and went out again He
was talking at the time to T. G.
Winther, he stated The witness also
admitted being present with Hazel
Benedict in the church on another oc
casion when Edna Shedin and Kath-
crime Henley came in, but denied any
improper occasion. The Benedict girl
had come, he said. to wait for herl
brother, Thurlow, who was janitor of
the church.
The defendant was still on direct ex-
animation when the afternoon recess
was taken at 3:15. There was every |
prospect of the court continuing it's |
session through the evening.
In the course of his evidence Mr.. |
Hand also denied the statement of ].
D. Davis regarding a conversation tes !,
titled to at Juliaetta, which bore up
on the states contention Of licencious-
ness, and while admitting the owner
ship Of the two stickpins made by L.
G. Griffin from nuggests for him, ex
planned that the one was made as a
present for his wife, and that
he Benedict girl had asked him to
permit her to wear it, which he had
lone.

That the charges against Rev. D. M
Hand are the result of a conspiracy
and are due to a bitter feeling be-
tween the minister and o. A. Bene-
dict, the father of the prosecutrix
who was during Mr.. Hands pastorate
at the First Baptist church the su-
perintendent Of the Sunday school OF
that church, was the outline of the de-
tense in the case given by Frank L.
Moore this morning in his opening
statement. Mr.. Moore went into
great detail in his outline.
The opening statement followed the
evidence of Miss Evelyn Clarke, who
was called for re-cross examination,
and was quizzed regarding the feel
ing which had existed on the part of
her mother and brother against the
pastor growing out of suspicious on
their part directed against his rela-
tions with the witness The little girl
remained unshaken in her story.
Calling attention to the former fued
In the Baptist church, and the organ
ization of the seceeding body, together
with the reunion which occurred about
the time of Mr.. Hands arrival in Mos
cow, the defense emphasized that bit
terness in Mr.. Moone's opening state
ment, as having bearing on the al
legged conspiracy against the minister.
The attorney declared that the de-
tense would show that the former
pastor not only had not been guilty of
criminal relations with Hazel Bene-
dict, but that the girls condition was
due to the practices of brother; that
Mr.. Hands activity among the young
people of his congregation was ac-
counted for by the fact that he found
condition of delinquency obtaining
among them, and that the younger
element" the attorney refused to call
them the bad" element, were in need
or closest attention, good wholesome
advice and good associates"
Reference was made to the Lowry
meetings and the doctrine of confess
sion, in which the pastor it was stated
was believer, and that through con-
fessions Of younger people to him, he
learned of the alleged relations which
the defense alleges in the Benedict
case, as we'll as the general state of
delinquency alleged. A complete de-
NAL that the minister had ever written
notes to Hazel Benedict, or anything
except couple Of post cards; that |
he had not written the poetry" was
made; that he had not given Hazel |
Benedict knife; that the nugget |
stickpin was one he had made to give
his wife as a present upon her birth
lay, but that when he happened to
show it to Hazel Benedict he had ask
I'd him to permit her to wear it until
Mrs. Hands birthday, and that the
,rouble had intervened and prevented
ts return. The alleged conspiracy, is

Fifteen for Acquittal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-When the
impeachment trial of Judge Archibald
charged with misconduct on the SUI
preme bench, was resumed today in
the senate, sentiment seemed to favor
an early vote and final disposition OF
the case.
AS the trial nears its close the SEN
ators seem disposed to be friendly to-
ward the accused jurist, although lit
tie hope is expressed that sufficient
votes will be cast to prevent verdict
being returned against him.

accounted for by alleged bitterness OF
the part of Mr.. Benedict against MI
Hand growing out Of jealousy between
the two men as to their respectiv,
authorities.
The first witness for the defense wa.
Robert w. Morris, who testified tha
upon a certain date Mr.. Hand had re
ceived an express shipment of day
old chicks.
D. X. Hand, the defendants father
who followed testified as to receiyin,
the chicks on that day.
| Harry r. Burke of the Star Mirror
was called to identify certain af
| fidayit made by Miss Elizabeth Tracy
and connect that affidavit with the
story referring to 1t printed in this pa
pare about the time Of Mr.. Hands ar.
rest.
Miss Elizabeth Tracy followed, tes-
tifying to having made the affidavits
and reiterating the truth Of the state
ments contained therein, prominent
among which was this: That she
had seen two notes pass between Mr.
Hand and Miss Benedict on May last
during meeting being held at the
church. One note read so the affi-
davlt stated: Don't worry, without
proof they cannot get conviction. "
The other: I don't see any harm in
talking to my friends SO long as my
conscience Is clear"
w. E. Heard was then called and
testified to differences between Mr..
Hand and Mr.. Benedict regarding their
respective authorities, and to hasty
words of which either had been guilty.
The matter was explained during a
visit of Mr.. Hand and himself to Mr.
Benedict's home, he declared, and
stated that when he and the pastor
had left Mr.. Benedict good feeling
seemed to obtain.
The accused minister took the stand
in his own defense this afternoon, and
recounted his version of the affair. His
first testimony was devoted to bring
ing out the alleged fact of feeling
between the Sunday school superin-
tendent and himself, this being fol-
lowed by the statement of the alleged
confession which he declares the
brother of the prosecutrix made to
him.
Mr.. Hand denied that on the Joel
trip he had been unduly familiar with
Hazel Benedict; that he had ever
at any time made love to her. The
testimony regarding the alleged kiss
at the roll call meeting of the church
was denied, and the minister declared
that he had never discussed any al
eyed matter of gossip" about himself
md Hazel Benedict with the girl dur
ng the Lowry meetings, and had nev-
sr heard any such talk. He denied |
hat he had ever passed a note to the |
yirl with the exception of one note

ments against him by the house prose-
cutors.
Full Punishment Probable.
1t was suggested today that the SEN
ate might remove Judge Archibald from
office without enforcing the second
part of the Impeachment proceedings.
The penalty, upon conviction, is dis
qualification for office holding, and the
indications are that the full punish
ment will be imposed.
The latest poll Of the senate this
afternoon indicates that not more than

of numerous letters beginning Sep
TENDER Is and extending up to the
present time, the result is definite
refusal on the part of Adjutant Cen
eral George Andrews to make public
the facts.
In his letter refusing to give this
information to the public, the Adj
jutant General does so on the ground
that he does not want the facts pub
lished. Abiding to the records in the
case, he says: 1T is not the practice
of the War Department to furnish
copies of them (the testimony taken
in court and papers filed as exhibit
especially as indicated in your case
for the purpose of publishing them
or any part OF, them in the public
press"
General Andrews was told frankly
the purpose of the request, which as
stated in letter to him of October

rest of the MISUNDERSTANDING

George to Secretary Tumulty, and a
copy of the evidence taken in the
case-in order that the readers of

taxpayers and it is something in
which they have keen and legiti-

as willing to comply with a request

that some useful purpose is to. be

COMMON SOLDIER IN UNITED STATES ARMY
ROBBED OF ALL HIS RIGHTS
=

BY gibson
Washington, Oct. 25.-7The com
mon soldier in the United States
army has no rights. When he en-
lists he gives up the guarantees of
the constitution, the protection of
jury trial, and even his right to petit
ton for a redress of grievances. He
may be unjustly charged, secretly
tried and cruelty punished and he has
no remedy.
This. is well illustrated by the case
of Private Clarence L. George, form
erly a private in the Signal Corps,
who is now serving term of one
year at hard labor in the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
having been dishonorably discharged
from the army with the forfeiture of
all pay and allowances.
This was the elimination of ca
reer in the army which began with
an enlistment in 1905, and which was
marked at the end of his first enlist
ment by honorable discharge with
official notation of character ex-
cellent;;" and at the end of his second
enlistment with character good"
Absence without leave is the only Of
tense in his record prior to the court
martial which sent him to prison.
Private Georges offense consisted
in writing letter to Secretary to the
President Joseph P. Tumulty, making
complaints of the treatment he has
received and making charges against
his superior officers, and asking for a
redress of grievances. For this
"crime" he now wears prison stripes,
has his pay confscated and is dis
honorably discharged; he can never
vote again, his citizenship is taken
from him and he is. branded as a
terminal"

fuses to disclose. Also it is unknown
