today. It Is liolleved It will be mild
compared with what will bo re-
vealod when the entire history of the
Miiitn leading ii(i to tho crlmo are
known. The police and district at
torney Whitman limlst they will have
tlio entire story within forty-eight
hour.
Itnseiitlial was killed because he
"squealed" on the police and certain
of bin gambling associates. His
murderer will bo revealed, tho po
lice say, because one of tho Instru
ment selected ha weakened and
will talk.

The man In qtioHtlon Is Louis Mb

With thorn, tho pollco intimate, will

Already lt 1 roportod several or

From many of the l''. Koreans on
trial at Seoul, charged with compli
city in the plot to nssiissinnte Count
Terauelii. Japanese governor general
and regain Korea's independence, the
police had extorted confessions that
the missionaries sympathized with
and aided the conspiracy. Hut of
ficialdom made the mistake of ar
ranging for a public trial, hoping to
convince the world tlmt eeiythiug
was fair mid ulmve board.
Ac soon us they ninio into open
court, counting on the strength of
foreign public opinion to saw them
from the Japanese vengeance, the
prisoners niiilormly repudiated these
confessions, declaring thev made.
them under torture or threats of tor
ture. The result hit- Wen not only to e-
poso Japanese police methods, but to
frustrate the plot against the mis
sionaries, mid to render it almost im
possible to form a new plot. The Mi
kado's advisers think western teach
ings, such as the Koreans got from
the missionaries, nre uiitagomtie to
an autocratic government, ami they

Meddlesome and Officious Course of

Resolution Resentlnu. President's
Interference With Senate's Rights.
Declares Taft Penned Malicious and
Infamous Falsehood and Ought to
Be Impeached.
WASHINGTON, July 1C Sena
tor Halley or Texas, this afternoon
bitterly arraigned President Tart ror
what he asaerted was Taft's "med
dlesome and officious" course or ac
tion In the Ixjrlmer case. He spoke
on bis resolution asserting It to be
the sense of tho senate that any exe
cutive Interferenco with the senate's
right to try It own member was
not contemplated In the constitution.
Bailey Insisted that Taft could not
even have read the record in the
Lorlmer case when he wrote to
Roosevelt about It, condemlng the1
Illinois senator, because It was not
printed.
"Has the senate reached such a
point or degradation," the Texan
resumed, "that tho president must
summon senators to the white house
and urge them to purify this body?
1 1 that the president' Idea of de
cency?" The speaker denounced Taft's ref
erence to "Senate clubdom" as a
"slander."
"When tho president penned the
line that I was determined to keep
the senator from Illinois hero, he
penned a malicious and Infamous
fnlsehoodr-and no-ono knows that
better than hlmseir," Bailey shouted,
"ir what the ex-presldent ays about
the president is true, it might furnish
tho basis or impeachment or one and
disqualifying or tho other from ever
again holding office. Andrew John
son was impeached for a less serious
oirense than that committed by the
president In writing this letter."
The senate Into this afternoon
adopted the following resolutien:
""Any attempt on the part of n
president of the United Stntes to ex
ercise the power mid influence of his
great office for the purpose of con
trolline: the vote of any senntor upon
any question involving the seat of u
senator or any other mutter within
the exclusive jurisdiction of the sen
ate, would violate the spirit, if not
the letter, of the constitution nnd
would invade the rights of the sen
ate." e
