Crowds (iiithcr nt the Capitol to J i Hear Carollnlnn'8 Defense. Washington, Jan. lt.-Charging that the President hates him with a | bitter, relentless, murderous hatred, and would destroy him If he could, and giving thin as the explanation of the recent attack of the Chief Ex ecutive, Senator Tillman to-day de fended hts honor and integrity ns a man and a Seantor from the charge of graft tn connection with Oregon In nd grants. He charged the V esldent with us ing the tremedous power of tho gov ernment to annihilate him if possi ble. He made the sensational accu sations that his desk in the Capitol had been broken open and valuable papers and maps bearing on this case had been stolen, presumably by se cret service sleuths. He said: "Theo dore Roosevelt lives In a glass house with glass Honrs, and ought to be careful." Ile promised In i future speech to hold the mirror up to na ture and let tho President see what manner of mnn he is. In giving out from the White House tho papers In the present case, which bad be^n sent to n committee of the Senate, and were in its posses sion. Senator Tillman averred that the President, committed a "gross breach of propriety." He said the Chief Executive cared nothing for courtesy, custom or do coney, and had treated with con tempt men whose o'llclal position was second only to his own. Personal Malle?' Alleged. "The President is sure I have done something very. discreditable and outrageous," said Sanetor Tillman, "but ull this fuss, fury and fustian can be attributed to the personal malice alone." Senator Tillman has demanded that the Senate make a formal and thorough Investigation of the Presi dent's charges. Probably never has a larger crowd gathered In tho Cnpltol to hear the sr OD of an individual Senator. Sen ator Tillman said he constituted a precedent In that never before had a President of the United States sin gled out an Individual Senator, not chnrged with any Illegal or immoral act, and indulged In such a scathing arraignment. Ho repeatedly made lt plain that be attributed the martyrdom which he considered he was suffering, to his attacks upon the President for permitting lawless nets, for usurpa tion of power; for "brutal and cruel condini" toward Mrs. Minor Morris; for other failures, shortcomings and Indefensible official acts. The speech was heard by almost the full Senate and by galleries crowded to suffocation. In attempt ing to gain admission, one woman fainted, many had their clothes torn and their toilets seriously disarrang ed, and suffered the loss of their furs. One man was painfully In jured. Rarely one-fifth of those who crowded the galleries ever caught, a glimpse inside the Senate chamber. Members of the House of Represen tatives crowded four rows deep be hind the desks of the Senators. Tortured On a Horse?

The roof ls going on the new school house, and in an incredibly short time Seneca will realize her dream of years-a handsome school building.
