Near the close Of scven-hour Sos

diers in cold blood on the battlefield
lie was asked, however, to step aside
until other witnesses then in the room
could testify against him, meanwhile
being given the right through counsel
to cross-cXaminc them.
Responding to his name when the
Ople charges were taken up, Grayson
Fl. Withrow, Of Baltimore, still in his
early twenties, stepped to the front and
testified that he saw the officer seize a
gun from a private and fire at man
in his command. Shells were falling
he said, and there was tremendous cx-
citement, but Withrow swore that from
his retreat in a shell hole he peeped
out and saw the man fall as The
ma ajors gun barked. But he could not
say whether Opic had killed him, de-
claring the latter, standing out in the
open, was within arms reach Of half
dozen officers when the shot was fired
Accused of Shooting Runner
As Withrow left the stand William
F. st. John, a young man from Lynch
burg, Va, suffering from nervous
troubles resulting from service over
seas, accused the Virginia major of
shooting down runner at the front,
because he failed to heed after thrice
being ordered to halt. Four other men
saw the killing, he declared, but he
refused of his own accord to give their
names, OH the ground that he had not
been able to confer with them and that
it would not be just to him if they
should appear and not back up his
charges. One of them, he said, had
"developcd cold feet" and was un-
willing to come.
Reminded by Chairman Brandegec
that the names must be submitted, st.
John complied, mentioning first the
cousin of one of Major Opie's counsel,
sitting across the table. 1t was while
ST. John was being cross-exam1ned by
John A. Cutchins, of Richmond, Va,
Major Opie's counsel, that he lost con-
troll of his shattered nerves and dra-
maticaly shouted that he was dealing
with bunch of fanatics who "are try
ing to prove l am nutty." Mr.. Cutchins
promptly disclafmcd such an intention.
Seeing that the young man was worn
out by excitement, Senator Watson,
Democrat, of Georgia, whose charges
of illegal executions are under investt-
CATION, declined to question him. To-
morrow Major Opic will testify in his
own behalf.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Protestine
that there is "a policy to prevent the
Senate from doing business" Senator
Wadsworth, Republican, of New York
to-day called the attention of the Sen
ate to what he termed "thc ridiculous
situation when this great body cannot
or will not do business"
Senator Wadsworth attributed the
situation to the practice of some Sen
ator taking the floor "between 3 and
o'clock, emptying the chamber, and
when his address is over there is not a
quorum"
Apparently the only time the Senate
could transact business, he added, was
in executive session, "when there is no
gallery to listen to speeches"
Declaring that the Senate "does lit
tie business" the New York Senator
said a small group Of Senators were
blocking legislation, and that in his
Judgment the Senate should take such
action as might be necessary to keep
a quorum present and remain in ses-
sion long hours. Some Of the speeches

ALBANY, Jan 4.-Minority Leader
James ]. Walker demanded at tho open
ing session of the Senate to-day that
Senator Clayton r. Lusk brand as lie
the charge made by the Rev O. r.
Miller that Senator Lusk had been of
fered 100000 by the motion picture
interests to kill the screen censorship
bill. Senator Walker gave the ma
jority leader the alternative of naming
the alleged bribc maker.
Senator Lusk refused to give the lie
direct to Mr.. Miller, saying that men,
Der of the Legislature should not be
thin-s skinned. When prcsscu, however.
Senator Lusk made a disclaimer Of the
charge, which, Senator Walker pointed
out, implied the acceptance Of bribes
by members of the Legislature who
voted against motion picture censor
ship.
Senator Walker then moved to deny
the privileges of the floor to the clergy
man who defended Senator Lusk's ac-
ceptancc of the $1,132 silver service
from the New York detectives, whose
salary raise bill he sponsored In this
rose to q point of order. The minority
leader announced that he would press
his motion when the Legislature re-
convened next week.
No Demand for Inquiry
Senator Walker in making his de
mand on Senator Lusk said that he was
not asking at this time that the Senate
investigate the charge made by the
Rev. Mr.. Miller that the underworld
clements of the state, led by motion
picture interests, were behind the cf-
forts to remove Senator Lusk because
Of his acceptance of the silver service.
In making his demands on Senator
Lusk Senator Walker declared that
it was his belief that the people OF the
state voted down by about half a mil
lion votes last fall the proposal to in
crease legislators salaries because
snakes of this kind Mr.. Millerl had
removed from the people all respect
they had for the Legislature:'
Senator Walker then recalled that in
1911 the Rev MIR. Miller publicly
charged that there was fund of
$25O,00O in Albany to bribe the Lcgis-
lature to pass the Sunday baseball
bill. He read from the records show
ing that when Mr.. Miller was sum-
moned before the Legislature he de-
clared that he had heard printer say
that there was such a fund, and that
the printer, a Mr.. Could, when called
as a witness, declared that the Rev.
Mr.. Miller was not telling the truth.
"The Rev Mr.. Miller" continued
Senator Walker, Islands discredited al

is marked to-day in the records of
this Senate as liar and bad sport:
The records remain that the man did

never offciated as minister Of the

Turning to Senator Lusk, he con-
tinued:

Pact Is Debated
By Premiers

lloyd George and BRAND
Renew Conversations

CANNES, Jan. 4 (By The Associated
Press) with the air full of talk of an
alliance between France and Great
Britain as the only means of keeping
the Entente intact, Premier BRAND and
Prime Minister Lloyd George to-day
resumed the conversations which were
begun some days ago in London.
"Thc conversations are continuing"
was the only comment tho French
Premier would make after a two hours
talk with Lloyd George this afternoon
General rcticence is being observed
by the principals of the British delega-
ton on the eve of the opening of the
Allied Supreme Council meeting re-
garding such an alliance.
Premier BRAND said before going
to the British Prime Minister'S villa
this afternoon that it might be putting
it rather strongly to talk of formal
alliance. Yet, he said the policy Of
France all along had been to strengthen
her ties with her war allies, since this
seemed essential to a settlement of
European problems.
Members Of both the French and
British delegations are agreed that the
situation is grave and that the Entente
they will drift more widely apart.
Question of Concessions
The difference of opinion appears
to center around the question of who
ought to make the concessions neces
sary to bring about closer accord. The
atmosphere throughout the day was
generally pessimistic.
The train that brought BRAND also
carried copies of the newspapers con-
tanning the French Premier's declara-
tion regarding an alliance between
France and England, quoting him as
saying it would be the best solution of
the European problem. In the absence
of official comment there has been
plenty Of talk in and around the Brit
ish delegation during the last few days
on this subject, and the British ap-
peared to be convinced on their arrival
here that the French policy was to
seek an effective alliance.
The fear was expressed. however,
that the prospects of such an alliance
had been compromised by the effect on
British public opinion of Frances po-
sition on the submarine question.
The arrival Of Lord Curzon, British
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, who
came soon after Premier BRAND, was
supposed in quarters close to the con-
ference to mean that, contrary to ex-
pectations, the British objections to
the Angora treaty between France and
the Turkish Nationalists would be dis
cussed here instead Of being left for
discussion by the conference of for
eign ministers in Paris.
