MAKES INSINUATIONS
But WITHDRAWS THEM

Washington. July 20.-The naya
/ bin stil was before the senate today
an attack by Senator La Toilette on
! the measure having delayed q vote
{ yesterday
/ Resuming the attack today, Sen.
( ator La Toilette reiterated his decla-
/ ration that the proposed doubling of
/ expenditures for military purposes had
heen actuated by selfish interests in
stead of patriotism, and asserted that
there was not a military, economic or
political reason to warrant the pro-
posed appropriations.
During his speech Senator La FOL
lette turned to the Mexican situation
and Senator Lewis democrat, asked if
he stood with President Wilson
against intervention in Mexico.
II sincerely hope replied Senator
La Toilette, that the standard bear
er of the republican party in the com
ing campaign will not feel constrained
TO take the position that it is the duty
of the government to put the flag Of
the United states behind investors in
Mexico President Wilson declared in
his Detroit speech that he would not
stand for that principle and that he
would not become the collecting agent
Of investors in Mexico. The Ameri-
can people, if an issue is made be-
tween the republican candidate and
Mr.. Wilson on that proposition, will
stand overwhelmingly by the presi-
dent.
Senator la Toilette spoke four
hours ana late in the day gave no sign
OF yielding the floor. Senator Gal
linger became aroused when Senator
La Toilette referred 10 members Of
congress az representatives Of the in
teTests.
"A hundred million people have no
body to look out for their interests
but their senator's and representatives
in congress- said La Toilette. "The
munition makers, the great interests
and the worldwide power which /.
shall portray before | conclude are
here and in every capital of, the world

uttered" interrupted Senator Calling

he went to the point that he some
times suspected that not only did |

on the street as he was OF his way
out to the court house, ald he re-
quested that she go to the office and
take the matter up with Mr. Marion
which she did.
Mr. Marion told her, she said. that
the firm had been able to secure ST.

asked witness what she thought would
be a fair division Of this amount
Witness suggested that the amount
should be divided fifty-fifty," but Mr..
Marion would not agree to this. lie
explained, she said, that the firm had
been to a great deal Of trouble in pre-
pairing the case and that if il had
gone TO trial in view of the result in
the Colbert case, she would have been
sure to get a verdict for a sum three
or four times that for which the case
was settled. For that reason, he said,
he did not think an even division of

Mrs Averyt testified that Mr. Marion
said he though 1t would be very
magnanimous" If the firm were to

lucky number to her, whereupon MIR.
