8 PENROSE FACING ! SERIOUS CHARGE1 Move to Impeach Senator for Accepting Money From Standard Oil. THEY'RE CETTINC READY FOR THE BIG BATTLES IN THE WAR CAME Pittsburgh. Pa.. Aug. 16. Boies Pen rose. United Stat tenator from Penn-, tylvania and header of the Taft forces' In the Keystone state, is face to face I with Impeachment on the charge of! accepting money from the Standard j Oil company to influence legislation Inj ccngress. The charges are based upon 1 the recent publication in a magazine of a series of letters to Penrose from j Jchn D. Archbold which show that' J25.0OO was paid to Penrose. j Following the exposure, a state vide right was waged on Senator Pen- j rose, and yesterday William Fllnn, j cloee friend of Theodore Roosevelt and head of the progressive movement, through his newspaper, the Pittsburgh Leader, served notice on Penrose that the- next state assembly would be giv er, all the evidence and requested to ask for his impeachment in the na tional congress. j So far Senator Penrose has made no , teply to the charges, but within the la it few days be Las begun a. vigorous) f.gbt to rcst control of the state leg islature frcm Flinn, the only hope he has of Averting the scandal. The pres ent indications are that Flinn will be In control and that the effort to im peach the Taft boss will be carried throuch. I The "Archbold letters" as they be-j canie known in the campaign of 19o8 when oth-r Pennsylvania office seek-1 tp were shown to have been paid j money out of the treasury of the Stan-1 "ard Oil company, were written to, Penrose as far bark as lSEt'J, and con-! t;nuMl for several years It was at r the time when the government was tondr.enng a so-cail'-d Investigation Into the "trusts Senator 1'enroce xb ivl if Vf' ; tI .. . -r-:l ).(!.

Clarence S. Darrow, who for the last three months j has been on trial in the superior court op an indictment charging bribery of j jurors In the McNamara case,, gave J the most brilliant oratorical effort yes-' terday that ever has been herd in a! local court. i The speech was unusual and ren-1 dered by an unusual master of the ! English language. Darrow's logic was profound, his argument effective and the word pictures painted were at once beautiful and sublime. He held his audience spellbound from almost the ' moment he began speaking at 8:22 o'clock this morning until his final plea, which was completed, as the chimes of St. Vlbiana's cathedral, near by, sounded the noon hour. There was hardly a dry eye in the courtroom when the famous labor law yer of Chicago concluded his plead ings. Two of the Jurors, Williams and Lam mere, shed tears; Associate Coun sel Appel sat at the attorneys' table', and cried like a child and even Dis-j trict Attorney Fredericks was visibly affected. At times Darrow used sarcasm, to be followed in a few minutes by elo quence. He waB one minute a child; the next, a giant denouncing his ene mies with fierce invectiva. Bit by bit he analyzed the testimony which had been presented against him and denounced Detectives Franklin and Harrington, the state's chief witnesses, openly charging them with corruption, treachery and perjury. "Gentlemen of the jury," said Dar row in making hie final plea, "the only question you have to decide is whether I gave Franklin $4,000 on the morn ing of Nov. 28. You couldn't "have sat here for three full months without hav- , ing some idea about the truth of the ; evidence. Do you believe Franklin? I Remember, I must be convicted be ' yond a reasonable doubt. "If you convict me it must be on j Franklin's statement that Nov. 28, Job ' Harriman gave me $4,000 and I gave ; it to him for the bribery." i Just before concluding. Darrow re-) ! counted the events leading up to the close of the McNamara case, and answered the allegations that had bittf-r feeling against Tiliet was a state- j mf nt he printed the same day in the i Tifu-sr,mi'r river hiu signature It Ba',i- litti fc. nrt hortins ben made against him that he had hungry little stomachs speak of the sacrificed the McNamaras to save him self.

But such treatment does not get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source. Rheumatisih comes from sn excess of uric acid in the blood. This acid acts as an irri tant to the nerves, muscles and joists, and produces the inflammation and swelling, and sharp cutting pains characteristic cf the trouble. When the blood is overouraenei wua ur-.c acia it grows thinner and poorer in nourishing quali ties. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and not only a painful but a dangerous disease.

He told how he had spent his life in the cause of the downtrodden: had assumed worry and care and responsibility, only to be dragged to a court of justice and made to stand trial for a most serious crime. "If you convict me. gentlemen, wbieh 1 know you won't; but if you should." said Darrow in closing, "there will be people who will applaud you for your act; but if in your judg- ! ment and your wisdom and your hu i manity you believe me innocent and it turn a verdict of not guilty in this (case, as 1 know you will, thous I ands and tens of thousands, and, yes. perhaps millions of the weak and the poor and the helpless throughout the world will give thanks to this jury for protecting me. "I know that deep down in the mines are workmen 1 have helped and I have served, who are giving their prayers today for my distress. I know that in factories and in mills and in workshops and In stores are thous ands of people who believe in me and who love me. and are looking to this jury to vindicate mv name. I know that if you find me not guilty, that over these mountain peaks and across your broad valleys and across the wide Pacific will be thousands of men and women, yea. and little chil dren, who v- ill give their thanks to you." When Darrow finished his appeal, Judge Hutton announced an adjourn ment till the afternoon. To take the jury after Darrow's won derful appeal had touched their feel ings, as it way apparent that it had. was the task of District Attorney Fred ericks, who this afternoon began the final appeal for the prosecution. Referring to Darrow's plea, Freder icks commented : "I want to tell you, gentlemen, he said to the jury, "that you have lis tened to one of the moBt marvelous addresses, orations or pleas, ever de livered in any courtroom when you listened to Mr. Darrow.
