"Senator Penrose has already declired '

It was suggested, "and the belief Is that I
Vare's jhallenge will bring forth nothing j
better than another colorless denial."
"Well." said Congressman Palmer. "I j
don't ery well see how statements so ;

He took the Varo challenge to mean I
that nothing abort of n libel suit could '

"If Penrose falls to act and tries again
to answer the North American by

Mr. Levy s request tne accuseu nnu tier

the witness, but ho insisted they were
not In the toom.
Golder repudiated the evidence he gave
, at the Coroner's inquest that he saw Mrs.
' Carman and her mother on the porch
after the killing. Ills testimony was so
contradictory that It lost all Its weight
' as tending to substantiate the prisoner's
Innocence. Previously he connected her
with the tragedy, hut today he tried to
1 absolve her. The man's credibility was
attacked through reading pages in
tho i
Coroner's Inquest testimony. Counsel for
the prisoner protested In vain against
the reading of the old evidence.
DOCTOR CARMAN TESTIFIES.
Doctor Carman husband of the ac
cused, took the witness stand this after
noon. He testified that on the night of
the murder he went in the waiting room
about 7:40 o'clock and found a strange
man there. The man told him, he swore,
that he had some ono who wanted to s-i
the doctor and then he left, saying he
would return. The doctor then retold the

Mrs. Powell, Holder, Mrs Conklln and
Cella Coleman came Into the ofllce, he
said, but Mrs. Carman did not. Hi

PHILADELPHIA BALL PARK
BLUECOATS STRIVE
FOR FIELD HONORS
IN ANNUAL MEET
Annual Police Carnival,
With Many Novel Fea
tures, Brings Together in
Contest Best Men of Force.
The first day's events of the tenth an
nual police nthlctlc carnival for the bene
fit of the Police Pension Fund were heJ-d
this afternoon at. the Philadelphia Ball
Park before a fair-sized crowd. For tho
first time since the Inauguration of tho
gomes, the events will require two days
to complete. The finals will be decided
tomorrow. The wenther was Ideal, the
air being Just chilly enough to put tho
athletes on their mcttlo.
The Philadelphia pollco band, composed
of some EO members, entertained the
crowfl with popular airs between the
races.
Tho real feature of the afternoon was
a drill executed by some three scorn of
Philadelphia "finest" under tho direction
of Drlllmaster Harry Edwards. Tho'y
went through some military figures In
cluding a revolver drill, and ended up
with a running Jog around the field, keep
ing perfect time.
Following this little Florence McLough
Ihi, the 10-ycar-old swimmer, gave a
demonstration of how the police handle
rough characters. Silas McLoughlln dis
played marvelous strength for one so
young in breaking her opponents' holds.
The latter were full-sized men.
The carnival this year Is replete with
novel exhibitions. Among the features
scheduled for this afternoon are a flrst-ald-to-the-lnjurcd
test, In which M fire
men, 10 to a team, contested. Dr. C. W
Davis, of Wanhington, a representative
of the National Red Cross Society, was
Judge of this event.
All the fine horses of the department
were brought together today In a horse
show, of which the Judge was Major
Charles S. Turnbull. For weeks tha
mounted men and the ottlrers have been
carefully grooming their steeds for the
occasion.
The pollco are taking more interest
than ever In the carnival because of the
adoption of the handicap Bystem. In
previous cnrnlvals most of the races were
eany for the "stars" and the regular
men could give them no competition.
Special races also had been arranged
this year for those unable to participate
In the regular events.
Boxing again predominates at the meet.
In the welterweight cIubs alone there
were 15 bouts and all were hotly con
tested. The race between six policemen,
each of whom weighs more than 250
pounds, was held this afternoon. Another
wsb the race for officers In the service
more than 20 years. Only scrgennts en
tered, the lieutenants eligible declining
