fects of Scott in the latter's room. Those
letters are very obscene. and refer specif-
ically to the proposed abortion on Pearl
Bryan. Wood said he was a distant rela-
tive of the girl. and was doing everything
in his power to help hide her condition and
get her out OF trouble. In these letters
Wood referred to matters which the officers
considered as duplicating him in the trag-
edy but he denied all knowledge of any
thing that was ever proposed except the
abortion. In these letters Scott Jackson
told Wood that walling. his room mate.
had a friend who was an expert chemist.
and who would take charge of the opera
tion. 1t turns out that Jackson was refer
ring TO himself. so Wood and Walling claim,
as the expert chemist as we'll as the sur
geon.
THE BLOODY sATcHEL-
Both Walling and Jackson agree that the
murder was committed last Friday night.
walling is the frank io his statement
Jackson speaks stolidy, but looks as If he
would burst with remorse. His eyes are
bloodstot and leaden- He confessed that he
visited the girl Wednesday. Jan. g. He ad-
mits that he took her clothing from her
hand satchel and made away with IL.
''Why did you do that?' asked
ITO cover up our tracks" was the reply.
The valise was shown him. The police had
obtained it in a barber shop. where he. left
it last Monday night, enjoinirg the barber
to let no one but him have it.
"Open the satchel," said Chief Deitsch as
he handed it to Jackson, and the prisoner
opened 1t.
" bat do you see in there" asked the
chief.
stains said the prisoner under a ter
rife nervous strain.
What sort of stains," demanded the
chief
1T must be blood stains," rejoined the
prisoner stolidly.
"was it the head that made those stains?"
asked the chief
''wen-I- should think it was" stam-
mered Jackson.
WAS it there that you carried the head?'
II tell you did not carry the head
The prisoner has been obstinate on this
point. He said in his private confession in
Colonel Dietch's office earlier that he
thought the head was thrown into the
Ohio river. The poor girls satchel was
stained in the bottom and sides purple
with her own blood.
Walling in his confession said that Jack
son was not back till midnight Friday
night. He says Jackson said to him when
the clew of that shoe came out:
'D-n those shoes. they'll get us into
trouble yet
Walling says he met Jackson at Sixth and
Race streets about o'clock last night and
Jackson said: "Walling, it looks as if that
Greencastle business will bring us trouble
yet" Whenever jackson was asked about
that valise with the girls head in Ii he
said: Never carried 1t with anything in
it. Walling wanted me to carry it, but
would not do it,
1t was empty when he left it in the bar
ber shop where the police found 1t. The
outcome of this confession, compelled by a
dense throng of accusing circumstances,
is that only two men are really involved
in the actual crime.

President Crespo is in the dilemma Of being

Therefore, he may seek TO postpone the
payment by acceding to Lord Salisbury's s
demands for a renewal of diplomatic rela-

A Hint to Brazil.

PARIS, Feb. 6.-Several newspapers de-
clare that the position of Brazil In regard
to the Amapa territory and the conduct of
Cabral. the alleged Governor of the dis
puted district. is becoming intolerable and
they add that the national dignity requires
that the matter be speedily concluded.
LONDON, Feb. cit is ser1i-officially
denied here this afternoon that tne gov
ernment of Great Britain has recognized
the island of Trinidad being a Brazilian
possession. 1t is further stated that the
situation OF affairs regarding the claims TO
the ownership of the lands is unchanged.
The Graphic says in an editorial IF the
French mean business in their dispute with
Brazil, the American iingoes will have an
other chance for a scare. Possibly
they will not take il because they are
aware that France is less likely than we
to stomach a Bullying. We have yet to
learn that IL Is possible TO overdo and ex-
press anxiety for peace. IL begins by max

Testimony Given by the Transvaal
Mining Commissioner.
PRETORIA, Transvaal, Feb. 6-The trial
of the members of the reform committee
began here yesterday They are charged
with inciting to rebellion and with high

within his hearing '"The country will soon
be ours from Cape Town to the Zambesi."
The commissioner also testified that he

for enlisting volunteers to fight in the
Transvaal.
A printer then testified to receiving from
the reform committee proclamation to the
effect that DIR. Jameson was expected in
johannesburg, that disturbances might en-
sue and that therefore a provisional gov
ton, the printer further testified, had been
put in type, but was never printed.

Complete Returns viii Probably Reduce
This Some.

Returns from the East began to arrive
about six o'clock, and were extravagantlv
favorable to Mckinley, the later returns,
however, being less favorable to the Re-
publcans. These returns were mostly
from states conceded to Mckinley or from
doubtful states which were expected to
give unfavorable returns for Bryan.
Following are some of the complete re-
turns:
Portland, Ore, Mckinley 1911, Bryan
1920.
Cook county, H., except two precincts,
Mckinley 1919 ,445, Bryan l42,706.
New York City, Mckinley 1913 ,OGS,
Bryan 1878.
San Francisco. Mckinley 81, 143, Bryan
81 ,OOG.
At II a. m. on yesterday, the Associa
ted press sent out the following: at is
reasonably certain that Mckinley and
Hobart are elected, but indications today
are that margin more narrow than ex
pected."
At 80 p. IN. of yesterday: "No APP
parent change in general conditions from
previous report, later advices still point
to Mckinley"
Last evening Mr.. Bryan gave out the
following:
"The Democratic national committee
claims enough votes to give a majority in
the electoral college but the vote is very
close in several OF the states and the re-
suit cannot be known positively until the
entire vote is counted 1t is wise for both
sides to watch the returns to guard against
the possibility of mistakes intentional or
unintentional."
And Chairman Jones Of the Democratic
national committee has issued the follow
ing: owe cannot lose, the Republicans
are perpetrating frauds. Indiana is safe
for Bryan. Iowa, later returns are our
way there, people say: Returns are
our way. Our people say Kentucky is
all right. California and Oregon are for
Bryan. have no fear of West Virginia
and do not concede McKinley's cleo
ton"
At 10 80 last evening Chairman Little
telephoned to the state headquarters at
Seattle. They had just received report
from the national headquarters at Chicago
to the effect that the result hinged upon
Indiana, and that if Bryan carried that
state he was elected.
At l AS p. m. today the Associated
press sent ont the following summary {:
mckinley has carried California, Con-
neticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, Minnesota New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakotah, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin

Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas,

From all but One of
the Precincts.

Election day in Aberdeen passed off
quietly, Notwithstanding the intense in.
terest and heavy vote. BY four o'clock
all but small per cent Of the vote had
been cast, and at the hour of closing very
nearly the entire registration had been
polled; the entire vote being 4SS, of
which 255 were in Aberdeen precinct and
233 in East Aberdeen precinct. Very
little scratching was done, although most
OF the resident candidates showed small
gains over their respective tickets. The
city gave Mckinley plurality OF 90; Sui
Ivan. Al ; Doolittle over Jones, AZ.
The result OF the election in this state
and county is very gratifying indeed.
All the power which corporations pos
sessed were bent to the defeat of the peo-
pie, and these powers were tremendous.
In this county men were absolutely bull
dozed so that they felt compelled for self
protection to vote against their convic-
tions, and the results show it. But all in
vain and Chehalis county has been car
red by the party Of the people from presi-
ent to wreckmaster and all that is left is
one poor hold-over in the commissioners
Office and our state senator, neither OF
whom are now in position to do any
harm. The state Of Washington is taken
out OF the hands OF those whose reckless

rupted it, and placed in the hands of

for an economical administration and the
conservation Of the states vested hertz
