JETMORE FOR MAYOR.
ssThe Great Dismisser" Consents
to Become Candidate.

A new candidate for mayor Of the city
of Topeka was launched last night. He
is Aaron P. Jetmore, the present county
attorney.
A secret meeting was held last night
attended by a chosen few. 1t was in
Mr.. Jetmore's office, and those present
were composed of representatives of
the liberal element. They have been
clamoring ever since Saturdays pri-
mary that Mr.. Jetmore become a can
didate for mayor, and at last nights
meeting he reluctantly consented
Mr.. Jetmore's success in securing the
nomination of his deputy for county at
torney is regarded by the liberal ele-
ment as an endorsement of his admin
istration and he is naturally in line for
the position of executive of the city OF
Topeka
From this time forward the liberal"
voters will groom Mr.. Jetmore's can
didacy, so that next spring he Will he
ready to make the race of his life. He
cannot ''nollie'' cases in the mayors Of
flee, but he would have big influence
with the police department.

.FUNSTON'S EXPEDITION
To Baler the Town So Calamity
Defended by Spaniards.

Correspondence of Associated Press-)
Manila, March 15.-There are hundreds
of miles of the Pacific coast of this is
land unknown to our army, hundreds OF
miles of which has no garrison, a long
stretch of coast familiar only to such
naval officers whose duty has led them
to patrol or sound the eastern side of
Luzon. There are few towns or. VII
lagos on this coast and one can cruise
along it for days seeing no sign OF a
human occupation. Down south in the
Camarines and Albany provinces there
are a few ports on the Pacific side, such
as Legaspi, Tobacco and Daet and these
we have lately occupied and garrisoned;
but with these exceptions and that OF
Baler. the Pacific coast of LuZon island
is practically unknown to our army OF
occupation
Gen. Funston last month led an ex-
petition into Baler, on the Pacific side
and a little north of Manila, and left
there a garrison of the Thirty-fourth
volunteer infantry.
A Spaniard in Spain, or here in Ma
Mia, would never think of calling this
little hamlet simply Baler; with him it
would be 'Baler, so heroically defended
by the Spanish soldiers or glorious
Baler," and today if a soldier Of Spain
can truthfully say: 4 was at Baler,"
he at once becomes great and envied in
the eyes of his companions. He is the
subject of a hero worship of a distinctly
commercial and gratifying character
it is considered an honor to drink with
a hero of Baler.''

JOE STACH TESTIFIES.
Man Arrested For ShOOtingPaul
SWetlick on Witness Stand.

One of the most important witnesses
in the Swetlick insurance case is being
examined today in the federal court,
which is now sitting in the appellate
court room at the county court house.
This witness is Joe Stach. a nephew of
Paul SwetIick. Stach, with his mother
and Fred Nowak, the hired man, were
arrested soon after Swetlick died, on
the charge of numbering him They were
bound over upon preliminary examlna-
ton and placed under $4,000 bond each
but the cases against them were dis
missed without being tried on account
of the fact that there was nothing but
circumstantiaI evidence against them,
and that was not strong.
Stach is the witness of the insurance
company and against his aunt, Mrs.
Swetlick. He told on the stand today of
Swetlicks being at the home of the
Staches for supper on the evening ne
was shot, and how a shot was heard
Immediately after SwetlicS left the
house. The witness told further of go
ing out with lantern and finding
Swetlicks horse with the revolver
hanging by the hitchstrap from the
saddle horn.
Stach then told of being sent by his
mother to tell Mrs. Swetlick Of the
shooting and also to tell NJ. D. Usher
man, a neighbor with whom Swetlick
was not on good terms, for fear an at
tempt might be made to fix the COM
mission of the deed on fisherman.

is conducting the trial for the insurance
company.

EVANS SHUT OUT.
Brownlow Men in Complete Control
at Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn, April 19.-The Re
publican state convention met in the
capitol today and was called to order
by Congressman BrOwnlOw, chairman
of the state executive committe. Del
egates whose seats were not contested
were admitted to the hall by ticket,
while those whose seats are contested
congregated in the corridors. The mi
nority (Evans) members of the state
committee presented a protest against
the action of the majority of the COM
mittee in the matter of admission by
tickets, opposing the making of a tenn
porary roll, and recommending that all
delegates be admitted to the floor. The
protest was ruled out of order.
After electing Congressman Gibson
temporary chairman the convention adj
journed until 8 o'clock tonight. The
Brownlow faction has a good majority
of the uncontested delegates, and by the
action taken this morning will be able
to decide upward of 300 contested seats
1t is not believed the Evans followers
will abide by their action.
