MRS. ATKINSON'S STORY.
Wife of West Virgiuia's Governor on
the witness Stand.

CHENILLE, w. Va. Oct. 12-The ex-
animation in chief OF Mrs. Atkinson, who
was placed on the stand in her own behalf
last night. was continued until late hour.
She resumed the stand this morning and
again took up the thread of her life's story.
She was married to Judge Camden in 1888,
and up until the time of his death he re-
CURED her constant care and attention. She
stated that during all this time she had
aided him in the transaction of his bust
ness and especially had she been of eff
had written letters, papers and receipts for
him, and had signed his name to them
with her own underneath, but always with
MED in toto the material allegations of the
state and stated emphaucally that she had
never signed Judge Camden'S name to any
papers after his death. All receipts and pa

filed as evidence in this case and which
Mrs. G. d. Camden" were written and
signed prior to the death of Judge Camden
ana with his consent, by his authority and
by his directions. The Owens receipt
which, in this case, she is charged with
forging, is genuine, and was written by
her under the direction of Judge Camden.
Mrs. Atkinson gave her testimony in q
low but distinct voice and every word could
be heard plainly by the jury. The strain of
the trial seems to be telling on her On the
stand this morning she said: Il will tell all
that is. necessary, but am very tired" The
court has been in session about ten hours
each day since the opening of the case,
eleven days ago. About noon the eXamna

NEW YORK MAYORALTY
SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY's CANDI-
DATE OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN.
Red Flags and a Big Audience-NOm-
inatfon for Controller on the George
Ticket Declined by Col. Warning.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12-Lucien Saniel, the
Socialist Labor candidate for the Office Of
mayor opened his campaign at Cooper
Union tonight In the large crop of mayor
atty candidates Mr.. Saniel has been almost
lost sight of, yet he attracted g bigger meet
ing than that which ratified the nomination
of General Tracy, as big as that addressed
by Seth Low last Thursday night, and al
most as large as the one which nominated
Henry George. Mr.. Sanel is Frenchman
who writes some cutting things in English,
but his ofatory is not effective, because
he has not mastered the pronunciation Of
the language he writes so well. The plat
form was decorated with red flags. There
was band and about as much enthusiasm
as marks the average political gathering.
The people gave expression to their dis
pleasure by kissing the mention of the
name of capitalists. Saniel bitterly assailed
the other candidates for mayor, Henry
George faring no better than the rest
Daniel De Leon also addressed the meet
ing. There were overflow meetings on the
outside which were addressed by a number
of Socialist orators.

TO MINISTER WOODFORD'S NOTE ON
THE CUBAN QUESTION.
DOns Hope to Soon Conquer the In
surgents, but Are Unable to Ex-
actly Fix the Date.

MADRID, Oct 12-It is semi-officially
announced that the reply of Spain to the
note presented by the United States min
ister Gen. Stewart L. Woodford has been
drafted by the minister of foreign affairs,
Senior Gullon, and will be submitted to the
Cabinet at its meeting tomorrow. The re-
ply, it is stated, will say that Spain is I'M
able to fix exactly the date when the war
will be over but the ministers are per-
suaded it will not be long, because 1.-The sit
uation of the rebels is critical and the eff
forts of the Spanish troops are sure of sue
cess" Owing to the rebel situation and
concession of autonomy, administrative and
economic, which will be effective before
January, the government hopes actual hos
} tilities will finish shortly. Spain, it is con-
tinued, thinks the reforms and the activity
of the Spanish troops are sufficient elements
to secure the immediate pacification of the
island, which, it is asserted, would have
en- more rapid if the rebels had not had
the succor of flibusters who under the
shelter of the American flag have contrib
uted to maintain this state OF affairs"
The government has decided that Gen.
Primo de Rivera is to retain command in

initiate the proposed reforms and reorganize

Cuba, instead of European troops the ex-
penses of the campaign would decrease and
the operations against the insurgents would
be conducted more rapidly.
Senior Gullon the minister for foreign af-
fairs, has communicated to his colleagues
the views of the European and American
press in regard to the new Ministry, point
ing out that the foreign newspapers are
almost unanimously of the opinion that the
programme of Senior Sagasta, the new pre-
mier OF Spain, has caused an important
change in the attitude of the Washington
Cabinet, leading to the belief that the dis

Robert Mantell's new play. to be seen at
the Grand tomorrow night and the rest of
the week, is a French romance of 1920,
when the Due d'Orleans was Regent In
those days 1t was not unusual for a court
favorite to ask for a 'lettre de cachet,' or
secret warrant, the same to be held over
the head of some poor unsuspecting Offend
er Of her fancy, who by the treacherous
document might be consigned at any mo-
ment to the bastile, and, once there, die
without ever again being heard of. Louis
De Beaumont, having sighted the love of
the infamous Gabrielle De Victor is thus
doomed but, by a clever ruse turns the
tables on his enemy and confounds the too
susceptible Regent. "A Secret Warrant
is strong play and gives an example of
the corrupt practices of the Bourbons
which, sixty years later, brought about the
French revolution.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 12.-At the

a bicycle as good as cash in case of arrest
where the offender is accused of violating
the ordinances governing bicycle riding
During the last summer many riders have
been arrested for violations of these ordi-

wheels they were compelled to remain in

Boies on the Financial Question.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. Eek Governor
Boies has written q letter to the Leader
on the subject Of Bullion as a Basis Of
National Currency" At the outset he asks
the questions: rs gold and silver bullion
for money; is it practicable? Can they be
made an invariable double standard for the
measurement of values?' He answers these
questions in the affirmative, and says that
Window suggested the basis of the plan
which he Celebrates. He concludes his let
ter thus: 1T is said no plan of that char
acter would be in accordance with the Chi
cago platform. That is true, but the Chi
cago platform has had it's day in court be-
fore the tribunal Of last resort. Must DEM
ocrats, to be loyal, adhere to it forever?
The objection is at variance with the whole
theory of our form of government. If valid
election would settle nothing, majorities
would cease to rule and when q political
issue was once joined the warfare over 1t
would go on until one or the other of the
parties to 1t was totally annihilated."
