Schenk, must face trial on Monday for the alleged poisoning of her husband. I'fp,- to the present both defense and prosecution is equally confident of proving its case. That the testimony will involve startling features is admitted on all sides. The lives of both husband and wife will be raked over by the law yers in an attempt to prove their respective points. One of the remark able features of the trial will be the elimination of Schenk; he will hardly be called by the defense and the state cannot use him. as the law does not permit a mau to testify against his wife. It is not alleged that Schenk was ad dicted to the use of arsenic twelve yeai's ago, and that he himself admin istered the drug. This statement is scouted by the prosecution, which con tends that it has indisputable evi dence that will involve Mrs. S^.heuk in a network from which she cannot escape. Prosecutor Handlan has moved alone in preparing his points; he has taken no one intt) his confidence. Meanwhile the accused woman de clares she loves her chihlren and her husband and the millionaire says grimly, “l^et the law take its course.” Each side has already engaged alienists and the insanity plea may furnish as dramatic an incident as it did at the Thaw trial. The trial promises to be a rapid fire siicc'cpsion of surprises; it certainly ■'■vill involve several physicians whom Mrs. Schenk is said to have vi‘:vlod for various purposes, incb.uling iijfo'ina- tion as to how to administer poison. It will also call into requisit'.on the stories of I.,r,ndy Wilson, the i?chenk chauffeur who sv'ore lli'' Mrs. Pchcnk offered him .$1,000 to vm the Schenk automobile over a buul: \vlth the owner iu it: in addition, i: v 'il oa’i the nur^'es vl’o madr> damad' g rrnCe ments against Mrs. Schenk ai in;,' time of her arrest, and it will invoiv;} cer tain young men in the town wlu> are said to hrve lieen the recipients of ]Mrs. Schenk’s bounty. m K Reciprocity Between The United States And Canada .11 r.

Washington, Jan. 7.—Senator Tx>ri- mer, the man of Illinois, appalled by the storm which will break in the senate Monday over his election, may resign. Caucasses of the senate are bringing out a surprising amount of strength in oiiposition to the seating of the senator. Predictions today are freely made that Lorimer will bo forced out of the senate if he does not resign. Coilea.gues are voicing their criticism that he should ap]tear on the floor of the sen ate at a time when his fate is hanging in the balance. Others are saying that he ought to resign. Many senator.s feel keenly that the senate of the United States itself is on trial in the eyes of the people, and that if it calmly submits to the seating of Lorinior in the face of what has been disclosed as to bribery in the Illinois legislature, then its standing will be irrejuu'ably damaged. One of the striking developments in the situation is the democratic strength in opposition to Lorimer. In quiry among the senate democrats to day discloses that ])robably not over a third of thf-m will stand by Mr. Lorimer. This is in spiie of the fact that Senator Bailey of Texas, has lined up for him. The two Virginia senators, .Martin and Swaiu.on, are the latest to be disclosed as in the ojiijosition. This news, coming on the heels of the announcement that botli Senators Rainer and Smith of Maryland, are against him, is certain to have weiglit. If Lorimer does not resign before Monday the light will ojien then and will go to a finish this se-^sion. Amendments To r.i •Ian. Ml 7.- The df-| ^• (>ur.■d tl:'-' -h.

He alleges that his telegram was never answered, and that no action w’as taken. The slc.k man recovered and Dr. Buckley was not arrested, but as an American familiar with criminal pro cedure in Mexico, he realized that he had been taking dangerous chances, and was ir.dignaut that the embassy should not pay any attention to his re- f|uest for intercet'sion.

C., Jan. 7.—Captain Robert t:. Peary, the Arctic explorer, told the story of his trip to the frozen north at a hearing today before a sub committee of the house committee on naval affairs, the purpose being to furnish proof of his attainment of the North Pole on April 6th, 1909, in con nection with pending legislation for antional recognition of his achieve ments. He produced all of his original mem oranda and answered numerous ques tions. Cross-examination by Repre sentative Macon, of Arkansas, who has announced his opposition to recog nition of the explorer, was deferred on account of the time taking in reading data. The committee adjourned until next Tuesday. Mr. Macon asked especial light on “the 30 hours Peary w'as at the Pole,” and Mr. Peary read from his log-book detailing his four hours’ sleep, his journeying beyond and back to the camp. Paery said he made no entries in his book on his return march, April 8th, and not until the afternoon of the 9th. “Was it absolutely necessary for you ion of Ml expert.” SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST SOLDIER. to be at the North Pole to make the ob servations- stibmitted here?” asked Chairman Butler. “That is a queption on Avhich there has been much discussion,” replied^ Captain Peary. “Would there be any way to detect such efforts?” insisted Mr. Butler. ‘•That is a thing I could not answer,” repiled Peary. “There has been a difference of op inion. Some experts wiU say observa tions can be arranged and others say not.” Representative Roberts, of Massa chusetts, suggested to thp explorer that Henry Gantt, president of the Na tional Geographic Society, and he thought Superintendent C. H. Tittman, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, both of whom were members of the Geogra phic Society committee which passed on tlie Peary case, had testified before the naval committee, that it was possi ble for a person with sufficient knowl edge and with data at hand to make any observations to place himself “at any place on earth and the figures themselves would not carry any proof on their face.” “That,” replied Peary, “is the opin- Wasbingion D.

After the conference the following statement w'as jointly Issued a3 4 warning to the press; “It was decided tliat no statementa w’ould be given to the press until tha results of the negotiations should be come definite. Theieupon an authorita. tive statement v.ill be Issued jointly bj’' representatives of both govern ments and will be issued through th« department of state. Meanwhile any thing purporting to be information aa to the progress of the negotiations W'lll be mere speculation of individual writ ers and the negotiators will not feel called upon to confirm or deny any such re])orts.” The ('anadian commissioners wer® received and welcomed at the w'hita house today by the president, to whom he expressed the hope that the negotia. lions would proceed speedily to an smioable adjustment. The ]ires-eiit proceedings are dug largely to the personal interest w'hlch the president took in the subject last summer wht-n he arranged I or a re opening of ne.gotiatlons w'hich had lagged indefinitely. The president met Mr. IFelding In AJbany last March and it was t.o that conference that it can be traced tha present activity. A great many members of the housa and senate are deeply in^^erested iu this conference at the state depart ment. an.d it is very ])robable that ob stacles will be presented where local interests are concerned, but they am not so large as lo be insurmountable in the opinion of the American offi cials. 1 lie pretidcnt w'lll give a state din ner to the Canadian o-Ticiais v)n vVed- nof.day night.

Banks Not Affected By F ail ur e Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—Beyond a slight flurry, national banks will not be affected by the closing of the Car negie Trust Company, according to Deputy Comptroller of the Currency Kane, who stated today that the brunt of the blow would probably fall on New York state banks. “Being a state instiutlon, most of the business of the Carnegie Trust Company was probably doneh ^vit state banks,” declared Kane. “One or two national banks may be affected but their loss should, in the nature of things, be slight.
