WASHINGTON, July 11.—Final ac-
tion not later than toraorro wwa3
in prospect when the senate resumed
consideration of the Lorimer case to-
day.
Senators Lea of Tennessee and
Thornton of Louisiana were the only
speakers scheduled to discuss the
case before the Illinois senator be-
gan his defense.
Senator Lorimer himself is not ex-
pected to make an extended speech
and it is though he will conclude in
time for a vote tomorrow.
Senator Lorimer today began his
speech defending his right to his seat.
He followed Senator Reed of Missou-
ri, who had made a bitter attack up-
on him and his election by the Illi-
nois legislature.
"It is true that the senate has a
'tnn, nghrlebega e ?ielectio
he egan, "on the flimsiest pretext, or
on no pretext at all. I intend to show
that no vote cast for me was influ-
enced by fraud.
Travesty on Jurisprudence.
"Mr. President," he said in meas-
ured tones, "This is no joke. Thi sis
a solemn and serious question. If the
senate decide to folio wthe views of
the minority of this inevstigating
committee, it will be a travesty on
civilized jurisprudence, a mockery of
justice. It will be a declaration that
the senate has decided to follow the
red flag; that It has become the ad-
vocate of anarchy; has adopted the
doctrine of the recall as advocated
by its arch champion."

government is given authority, under
an old congressional act, to prohibit
the sale of liquor within the confines
of former Indian Territory.
If the decision applies, it will 'pre-
vent the introduction of intoxicating
liquors on the townsites in the Os-
age country, Pawhusko, Fairfax, Horn
iny, Foraker, and several other
towns. Another congressional act
makes it <a rison offense to take in-

WASHINGTON, July 11.—Great
Britain's request for a postponement
of Panama canal legislation now be-
fore congress until a formal state-
ment can be filed against the propos-
ed ship toll provisions is likely to
have little effect in delaying the pas-
sage of the canal bill, according to
leading members of the senate.
Members of the senate inter-ocean
canals committee who discussed the
situation today declared that there
wo,uld be no "backing down" by the
senate from its position in favor of
free passage of American ships.
The committee has never been
agreed upon that point, however, and
there is a wide divergence of opinion
in the senate as to the rights of Unit-!
ed States under existing treaties.
Many senators who do not believe
the United States has the right to
give free passage to American coast-
wise trade think the treaty terms
could be met by rebating to Ameri-
can vessels the tolls they might pay.
Senator Lodge, ranking member of
the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs, declared any further delay in
the Panama legislation was impossi-
ble. He declined, however, to dis-
cuss any final opinion on the right of
the United States to grant free pas-
sage to its own ships under the ex-
isting treaty with Great Britain.
Senator Brandegee chairman of the
canal committee, will make an ef-
fort to have the Panama canal bill
brought before the senate as unfin-
ished business as soon as the Lorimer
case has been disposed of. It is
doubtful, however, whether the sen-
ate can reach the bill before the B*it
ish statement arrives. Many sena-
tors said today that Great Britain's
representations would be given full I
consideration.
Lula Harrison and her husband,
Chester Harrison, who were the prin
cipals in a fight with Maggie Shipp,
of 6th and Harrison avenue Tuesday
night, were in police court Thursday
on the charge of disturbing the peace.
The paid pleaded not guilty and were
represented by a colored attorney.
However, they were found guilty by
Mayor Nissley. He fined each of
them $15.00 and suspended the fine
for 48 hours providing both would
leave town.
WICHITA, KANSAS, Julyy 11.—
