private life. .-; . ,
"Every man who has such a life "has
his own reward he has It here," he said.
I ask nothing on that' account; it has
no bearing in. the case. I hope it will
influence no senator In making up his
judgment." , '
He spoke of his family." ' " ,
"I have been the happiest of men, liv
ing and blessed by God's son," he said.
"I ask nothing because of them, or be
" cause of my ideal .home life."
.' "It has been said by senators that
'the worst foes of Lorimer have not im
peached . his Integrity. They have said
that his word was -as -good as his bond;
that he never turned on a friend; that
he has been consistent, right or wrong.

Judge W." O. Rice, who holds that the

Senator Bailey Says
Demos Exaggerate
I -Existing Evils
WASHINGTON, July If -Colleagues 'of
Senator Bailey revealed today that In a
farewell address at a private dinner last
night the Texas leader predicted that tX
conditions In the United States continued
tfl hang"4 aa Tmuob In -the next' thirty'
years aa they had In the last thirty the
country would race 4 condition parallel
to that of the French revolution. , .
: Mr. Bailey charge that members of
congress by their own cowardice were
responsible for a condition ot unrest
which prevailed. H, Virtually charged
the democratic party with exaggerating
the importance of existing evils.
i"This republic is near a -crista which Is
greater than the wisest men. think," said
Senator Bailey. "I do not forget that tho
French revolution camo rhlle the gover
nors were at theaters, and that the7
arose from their banquet tables to como
face to face with violence and bloodshed
in the streets of Paris. f
VI do not say the United States are
facing such a state of affairs,, but I do
maintain that if . within the next thirty
years the country should continue to
change aa It has in the last thirty we will
find ourselves face to face with such a
condition at the end of that time.
TYou senators ; and representatives'
continued Mr. Bailey, 'txti prevent this
great crisis, and you will do so If you
have the courage to go out and tell the
publio the truth. Every evil which exists
In the country today can be corrected
without danger to the principles and poli
cies upon which this republic was foundod,
and It should be done. '
'"The impatience of the minority, of
which I myself have been a member, has
been largely responsible for the state of
mind of the people bf the United States
today, for they have grossly exaggerated
the evils of the country." 1 , .

the Olympic meet today.
The 400-meter, which the judges decided
to run In lanes In the final, was a strug
gle between the German, Braun, and four
American competitors. The Syracuse col
legian, Charles R. Reidpath. .beat Braun
handily In 48V seconds, with Edward F.

pleSsant surprises in the laat two days,
but' they encountered a pleasant one by
wresting the 3,000-meter 'team race from
the Swedes and Britishers. Most ot the .
Americans who composed , the team are
milers rather tnan two-mllera, and 1 was
expected the British" contestants would '
run away with the event. But the Union ,
Jack came only third,- with the blue and
yellow of Sweden dangerously close to .
the. Americans for first.,. .
' Adams brothers had the standing jump
their own way.; They feared only the
agile Greek,-Tslclltlras, but ouUumped
him. The other competitors were close
together. The ' base was placed at 1.30
meters (four feet three Inches) at the
start and raised five, centimeters at a
time.. R, L. Byrd, American college; Leo
Grongo and E. Moller, Sweden, tailed at
1.55 meters. Vpiatt Adams won the event
with a jump of 1.63 meters (five feet four
inches), with Ben Adams second with a
jump of 1.60 meters, and the Oreek,
Tslcllttras, third with 1.55 meters.'
' The American runners . did splendid
work ' In . the 3,000-meter team race, in
which the United ' States, Sweden and'
Great Britain were represented. Great
Britain was able to get . only third In
this event, which ten years ago it would
probably have captured handily With a
field of. fifteen on the track, the units
shuffling back and forth during the eight
laps, the race was more interesting, if
less exciting, than tho breathless 400
meter event. ,
STOCKHOLM, July 13.-Practlcally all
the Interest In the Olympic games today,
the eighth day ot the athletto section of
the meet, centered on the final heat of A -the
400-meter flat race, In which the only
non-American, athlete, Hans . Braun, of
Germany was pitted against four of the
