CLOSES DEFENSE
Senate Committee Gives
Counsel Two Weeks to
Prepare Brief.

WASHINGTON. May 23.-Coun-
sci for Sen. La Toilette closed We'd
nesday the argument begun Tuesday
before the senate privileges and
elections committee in support Of a
motion to dismiss charges that
statements by the Wisconsin senator
in a speech at St. Paul last Sep
! TENDER were disloyal and seditious
Gilbert NJ Roe Of New York. the
senator's attorney concluded with
the declaration that Sen. La Toilette
is not disloyal and that TO say that
in his heart he desires 10 see the
German cause succeed is unthink-
able
Two weeks were given the attor-
ney 10 file a supplementary brief.
There was no indication as 10
whether the committee will take
any further steps in its considera-
ton Of the matter in the mean
time.
Praises Ia T'ollette's Honesty.
Mr.. Roe praised Sen. La Follette's
honesty and asserted that even
those who disagree with him on
public questions agree that he is
honest The st. Paul speech, he
said. bordered on the common
/ place" containing only facts which
were of common knowledge and
would not have attracted any at
tention at all If it had not been for
the food of newspaper misrepre-
sentation that went out"
The attorney read from the text
OF the speech as given by him to
the committee. to show that Sen.
La Toilette had said that in enter
ing the war this country had cause
for complaint" and serious griev-
ances" against Germany He de-
clared if there were any inaccurate
statements. they were made in good
faith by the senator and with no
! intention Ito put the administration
in the hole"
Sen. La Toilette, he argued is
entitled 10 the presumption that he
is honest and that he stated the
truth. He said heckling by persons
in the audience diverted tie sena-
tor and that he had no intention Of
mentioning the Lusitania until some
one in the audience asked about it.
When Sen. Walsh of Montana
questioned Mr. Roe regarding Sen
la Follette's reference TO war
/ profteers, Sen. Vardaman of Mis-
sissippi interrupted to say IL the
committee would read the evidence
in the Hog Island investigation by
a senate committee they would find
/ fraud that stinks to heaven"
Sen. Reed of Missouri urged the
committee to confne its investisa-
ton 10 the text OF the speech. He
added that if anybody could show
that Sen. La Toilette was trying to
defeat this country in wa instead
Of merely criticizing some members
of the administration, he would be
willing to vote 10 expel him from

attracted by the beautiful scenery
along the banks of the historic st.
Joseph river. that part which is
plotted with grass and extends
north from the Grand Trunk
tracks.
Leaving his bicycle at 726 Lin
coin Way Z. he INDUCED in TAX
ing a few rolls down the grassy
slope. Not that he was hungry;
he felt playful.
1t is unusual for a boy to leave
a bicycle in front of a strangers
house for any great length of time,
so the police were informed.
Officer James Lee was sent
down to investigate. That fact
BODIED i'll for little Cecil.
He saw a big policeman coming
and beat il. Down Carroll ST. he
flew as fast as an II year old
boy could travel, but even so. no
one ever gets away from Officer

He brought him over to police
headquarters where he is being

parents.

said. to interrupt a young man
