At S o-clock the Jury had not returned a verdict and when a deputy eherlff went to the Jury room to take the Jurors to sup per, he found them with their coats off and apparently In the height of a heated discussion. The Jury asked half an hour more before going to supper In which time . t M I I iney expectea to reacn some un-invn. the end of the half hour they had no def inite answer to aubmlt and were taken out to the evening nieal with Instructions to oreturn at 7:30 and continue delibera tion's.

Shortly 'after Prosecutor Handlan fln- Ishod his argument and the Jury waa re tiring. Mrs. Schenk collapsed and waa led from the court room between her attar- ney, j, J. t'.

It waa only when the argumenta were begun, when sympathy was asked for her by her attorncya that she gave way. tShe had retained her composure during the scathing comments upon the state's witnesses by the last of her attorneys to seak, S. O. Boyce, but again grave way under the bitter Invective and fierce ar raignment of Prosecutor Handlan. The accused woman fell heavily forward on the table early In the argument. Mr. Handlan axked the Jury to show no mercy to a woman who had deliberately violated her marriage- vowe, snaring young Dan Phillips with her wiles and had then coldly, calmly plotted to kill by slow poison the husband who had given her a name, had lavished upon her automobiles, costly clothing.

"Coldly, calmly, fiendishly, she asked the voman of whom ahe would have made a tool to place the poisoned medicine beside her unsuspecting husband'a bedside that he relgbt reach out In the dim light of the sick room In the night and awallow It himself. "But even this was not the climax of the flerdlshness of that woman sitting there.' That came when she contemptuously referred to the deters of charity at the hospital where her husband was lying at the Mlnt of death who were going about on their errands of mercy and charity as 'black eiled hypocrites.' That waa the acme of all. a foul mouthed harpy auch aa she tn apeak of those aa far above her aa heaven Is above the underworld as 'hypo crites' while they were doing all In their power for him whom she thought to slay." Mr. Handlan himself waa almost over come with his strenuous day, following the long strain of the trial and at the con clusion of hla address he went to his home for a rest. 8. O.

Jan. 25 For the first time since the debate In the senate in the rase of Senator William Lorimer of Illi nois began mention w-aa made today of the reported Interest of the president in the unseating of that senator, because of the charge of bribery made In connection with bis election. The reference waa by Senator Payntet of Kentucky, who was a member or tin subcommittee which made the investiga- ent gtaie labor commissioner of Louls tlon into the charges and of the full com- ,ana; phlnip Pearsaw. former president of mlttee on privileges and elections which tho lopa, C()a, wlleeier8- unon, and U. 8. brought in a report exonerating the 1111- Swan former president of the Longshore nois senator. men's union.

' Having brought the president Into tne discussion the Kentucky senator profess edly undertook to eliminate him from It. Referring to the frequent assertion In the public press lhat the prealdent la using his personal. If not hla official, Influence against Mr. Ixrlmer. Mr. Paynter said he desired to resent the Imputation against the president. Pvvrely a I. emulative Act. "The president Is a great lawyer," he said, "and knowa that the constitution di vided our government Into branches, and that It waa Intended that one branch ahould not invade the province of another. The president knowa that the senate Is made the Judge of election of Ita members; there fore the constitution denies to the execu tive and Judicial branchea the right to de termine who la entitled to a seat In this body. Certainly the president would not attempt to violate the spirit. If not the letter of the constitution, which he haa promised to obey." Referring to Senator Bevarldga and the minority report he presented, attacking the Lcrimer election. Mr. Paynter remarked: "If he committed an error In the prep aration of the minority report. I think he is entirely excuaable. The aenator evi dently had to prepare It In great haate, because he and another distinguished sen ator, Mr. Owen from Oklahoma, were In a mad rush. In a frantic effort to atrike the first blow in this contest. "Both, from their point of view, were en deavoring to enlighten an expectant public upon a question affecting tha honor and dignity of thla body." m Pratae for I.orloaer. Mr. Paynter defended the character of Senator Lorlmer, who, he said, waa "a man of perfect morale." and also spoke In terma of praise of Speaker Uhurtleff of the Illinois house of representatives and Representative Le O'Neill Browne, the minority leader, who gave their support to Lorlmer. Taking cognisance of the demand upon him from hla own atate to oppose Lorlmer, Mr. Paynter aald he could not yield even If be knew It would cost him his seat.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. (Special Tele gram.) The house committee on military affairs at Its session today received the pilnorlty report on the bill appropriation j of $25,000 to aid Crawford. Neb.. In securing a new water system and after some dis cussion refused to adopt the favorable re port of the subcommittee and reported adversely against the bill. In fsrt the full committee Btruck out all after the enacting clause and Inserted the provision to abolish Fort Robinson. It appears that several other cities are complaining that their water supply Is contamanted by the dumping of sewage Into the river by military posts and If a precedent la set In favor of Crawford all these other places would crowd In asking governmental aid. It Is also cited that Fort Robinson waa established years be for Crawford waa settled and the original settlers ahould have gone above the fort and not have located below. Judge Klnkald this afternoon had a con ference with Senator Brown In regard to the matter and the aenator says he will do everything In hla power cm his aide of the capHol, but really does not feel much encouraged. v J.

"Wo are gathered here this afternoon to pay tribute to that wonderful acope of country, the west. Potentlnl with Its latent possibilities, fraught with dangers though It be, this has ever been the battlo cry of civilisation. "Iing beftire the day of Horace Greeley and his maxims the advice has been given to the young man, "Go west and grow up with the country." "Our own broad prairies, fertile lands of prosperous Nebraska, were once a desert that has been literally made to 'blossom as the rose" In great crops of golden corn and wheat. The cry of "Westward, Ho" Is still with us. What stimulus Is here given Jaded ambition; what new Ufa and vigor thrills the sluggish brain of the ever wearied office worker; what novelty here tempts the satiated rich man of the eastern city. The broad, free unlimited expanse of western lund opens a new vision of hope, health and promise. "Dr. Wiley of the United States bureau of chemistry declares, 'In those parts of tha country where we live, nearest to nature, where we have the food fresh and tha most outdoor life there Is developed tha strongest type physically of American man hood and womanhood; and the consented centers, where the people live In an unnat ural way, furnish the environment that produces the weakest type.' Where can wa come closer to nature, have the freshest food and live outdoor life ao freely and un restrainedly as In the open, on prairie, in forest or by mountain stream where food is represented In the speckled beauties darting hither and thither? Women Played Ilia Part. "In the early days of hardship and pioneering, as now, woman stood ever ready to cheer and brighten the home, the then rude hut of the early westerner. American womanhood has kept abreast of civilization and her Interest baa ever been that her huxbund. son ami brother, that ready this afternoon drrt.cd much of cd I catiniial value from hat we have hoard aml seen. lirlKUtlon ai oitiaed here on this piatfuriu.

"From the exotic beauty of the Uurbank display to the practical demonstration of good roads, and thruuKhuut our ent Ira western trip thin afternoon on u tour per sonally conducted by exisrts who Know from a. twill experience whereof they speak, we know the entire trip will be one con tinual source of profit and pleasure." .Mrs. J.
