New York, July 11.—Gen. Daniel E. | Sickles waved the almost-forgotten | “bloody shirt” at the first meeting of the new Theodore Roosevelt National | Progressive party in the tower of Metropolitan building, at 1050 th morning. He declared, in unmistak- able language, that Gov.

Wright of Dartmouth and Frank T. Nelshn of Yaie. The Columbia’man beat the holder of the world's record, but was unable to reach the record. Wright and Nelson were tied for sec- ond place and will each receive a sil- ver medal. In the shot putting contest with right and left hand, Ralph Rose, Olym- pic A. C, and Pat J, McDonald, Irish American A, C., secured first and sec- ong respectively. Americans Win 200 Metres Dash. Although the.hopes of a new record were again disappointed, the final heat of the 200 metres dash was the most exciting performance of the _day. Ralph Craig of the Detroit Y. M. C. . and D. F. Lippincott, University of Pennsylvania, took the honors with the Briton, W. R. Applegarth, pushing them hard at the tape. The German, Rau, who runs all distances, was fourth. The Americans had ecounted on these points, but they had expected to lose the 10,000 metres walk, which they did to their neighbor, Goulding of Canada. Goulding gave a fine ex- hibition outpacing the English crack, Webb, and beating him 80 yards at the end. The only American in the final of this event was Frederick H. Keiser, New York A. C., but the pace proved too fast for him and he dropped out after two miles. Italians Score a Victory. With no surprises and everything in which the United States was inter- ested, going according to slate, the day furnished no thrills, except for a small Italian contingent, when the flag went up for the final in the men's gymnas- tics with the Hungarian and British colors beneath it . ; Teams of Russla and Luxembourg also competed, the five giving an ex= hibitlon on the hortzontal and parallef bars and jumping horses which could not be improved upon in a circus.

P CHARGES .CONSPIRACY Declares That He Is Being Persecuted Because He Could Not he “Con- trolled”—Vote on His Case. Washington, July 11—For ths sec- ond time in eighteen months William Lorimer took the floor in the senate today to defend his title toa seat in that body as the junior semator from Tllinots. _For three hours he inveighed against his newspaper and political enemies; dissected the influences that had been exerted against him; and dealt with the attitude of President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt Toward him and his associates in Illinois pol- ftles. Vote May Be Taken Today. The senate did not force him to a conclusion of his speech. His emphat- ic delivery of the denunciation of his opponents weakened him physically and at 3.30 o'clock the senate recessed until ten tomorrow morning when Mr. Lorimer will resume. It is expected that he will comclude his defensive speech In a féw hours tomorrow and that before the end of the session the senate will take its final vote upon Senator Luke Lea’s resolution of ex- pulsion, The Chamber Crowded. “Before Mr. Lorimer had spoken an hour the_galleries, which were half empty when he began, had filled to overfiowing; the senate floor was well filled with members giving close atten- tion to him and around the walls of the senate stood Scores of members of the house. From a position at the rear of \he chamber in the middle aisle he delivered his speech with dramatic gesture and i a voice that frequently rose to flights of passion that carried far through the capitol corridors. Charges of Newspaper Conspiracy. Contrasted to the picturesque ap- peal of February, 1911, when Senator Lorimer gave in detail the circum- stances which he claimed had influ- enced the votes of 58 democrats for him in the Iilinois legislature, his speech todsy was an attack rather than a defense. He scarcely touched upon the charges of bribery in the linots legislature while he held the floor, Chicago newspaper owners and pub- lishers, Governor Deneen, States At torney Wayman and others who have been active in the prosecution of the Lorimer case in Illinols were the chief objects of his shafts; and he sought to show that behind the prosecution was & conspiracy of newspaper and corporate forces to punish him because he could not be “controlled.” Affidavidts of Bribery by Roosevelt Foroes, At the clese of the aftermoon, he furnished a» sensation by intreducing | afidavits made by delegates to the re- cent republican convention at Chicago to the effect that they had been offered money to vote in suppert of the Roose- velt forces in the convention, The names attached to the affidavits in- ciuded J. M. Shumpirt, A. Buckley, D. W. Sherred, R. B. Buits and William Jones of Georgia, and other seuthern delegates. These affidavits came after Mr. Lor- imer had dealt in detail wit hthe letter of President Taft to Colonel Roosevelt which was made public with the In- ternational Harvester company cor- respondence during the pre-conven- tion campaign. In this letter Presi- dent Taft had stated his desire to see Mr. Lorimer ousted from the senate. Hypocrisy Rampant in Country.” Senator Lorimer declared he did not seek to prove anything in his own case by the afidavits; but that he wanted to “show the hypocrisy run- ning rampant through the Colonel Roosevelt's friends he de- clared would have secured his nomin- ation, if possible, “by the corrupt use while Colonel Roosevelt troy very political corruptionist.” As to his support of President Taft | Mr. Lorimer. salr he had supported the principles of constitutional govern- ment for which the president stood. He declared the president would not have received as many votes in Illinois as he did In North Dakota in the primary campaign If “the men with whom I am associated in politics” had not voted for him. | HELD UP AND BEATEN BY THREE HIGHWAYMEN, Waterbury Contractor Robbed of $700 in a Lonely Spot.

A series of diplomatic amd legisla- tive conferences today developed the fact that the forces in the American government which faver allowing American ships free passage through the canal are in control. These forces take the position that thers is nothing in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, under which the canal was built, to prevent this concéssion. Great Britain's Position. The diplomatic struggle, precipitated by the note recelved today' from Mitchell Innes, charge of the British embassy, it is expected, will be fought along the “ollowing lines:, Great “ritain will take the*position that the rlr,/-Pauncefote treaty pro- vision whicu forbids discrimination in favor of the interests of any nation in the conduct of the canal would operat against the provisions of the’ Panama bill now under consideration in the sepate. This position will be sup- ported by a lensthy argument now on its way from London by mail which will be presented to the state depart- ment and transmitted to congress up- on its arrival Contention of United States. The United States will hold that so long as the ships of all foreign nations are accorded the same treatment in the use of the canal the Unlied States mdy pass American ships free. or re- bate fhe tolls charged them.

The men behind the bill in the senate sald today that the British nete would not prevent consideration of measure whenever it could be reached in the ordinary course of business. But the position ‘of Great Britain will strengthen the opposition to the tree provision. Congressman Sulzer's Statement. After a conference with President Taft, Representative Sulzer of New York, chairman of the house commmit< tee on foreign affairs, made a state- ment supporting the bill. He sald: “Of course, I am surprised that the British government now objects to the United States government regu the tolls of its owe ships through Panama canal, However, nothing sesé- ous will come of the objection. We will treat it with the dignity it de- serves. The treaty is plain and clear to all. The British government should not and cannot cemplain §f no_tell discrimination is made against Eritieh ships in favor of the ships of otBer nations. y “British Position Untenable.” “That is the real meaning of the treaty, and we shall carry out its Pre« visions in good faith. We have the right under the treaty to charge orf not to charge tolls for our own ships. There is no doubt about that. It mever wis questioned before, legally or - matically. It canmot be suce ly questioned now, and doubtless con= gress will proceed with the Pasama canal legislation regardless of the criticlsms of our friends across f water. Besldes, second thought will put them right and show conelugively their position Is nntenable.” It was generally understood that this position is supported by President Taft and Secretary of War Stimsom, In A1 rect charge of the Panama administra- tion. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE BUBONIC PLAGUE. New York Mealth Officials Along Water Front. Active New York, July 11.—Although strict watch has 'heen kept by the health officers at this port for more than two weeks without the slightest trace of invasfon of bubonic plagde, the quarantine officials continue to fight vigorously against all possibilities. Over one thousand pounds of sulphur were burneq today-in the hold of the steamship Saratoga from Havana and the Caracas of the Red D line from San Juan, .as' they lay off the Statue of Liberty with the yellow quarantine flag flying. It s estimdted that thousands of rats, which may have been exposed to the plague in West Indian ports, were Kkilled by the sulphur. A few of the rats were caught and sent to the qua- rantine station for expert examination. Similar precautions are taken with all vessels from the West Indian ports. The officials seem to agree that there is little danger of invasion of the plague and think that undue alarm has been caused by the precautions taken, but they propose to keep them yp. Health Officer O'Connell today re- quested the dock authorities of New York and Jersey City and Hoboken, N. J., to order their suborifpates to make thorough inspection of the docks and to report immediately any evi- dences of mortality among rats. OPERATOR'S MISTAKE STOPPED A MARRIAGE. .

The company is charged with alienating the youmg woman's affections, The message was sent by the young man and read as follows “I love you forever.” When. It was delivered to the ad gee, it rend dar leave you forever.” Under the circumstances there was nothing for her to do but send back the yourg man’s gifts, his engagement ring and all his letters, and befors the sender of the message could com- municate with her she had accepted another offer of marriage.
