lures today. A sworn sta, a,nent
from Mrs. Barker showing that kel-
Ter had criminally assaulted her
which was the cause of the shooting
by her husband was publised by the
newspapers today and reached the
Jury. II was not evidence that

hounced the matter roundly. saying
That a thorough investigation would

iiant Ascott races do not cast aside
the sad memories today brings forth
to the royal family. as well as the ma
tion at large. This is tine annivers-
ary of Queen Victoria's ascension to

would have cewould have celebrated

WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator
Allison says he is too old to run for
president in 1904 He declines with
thanks the nomination which some of
the western newspapers have tried to
thrust upon him since he came to this
city few days ago. The Iowa sena-
tor was much pleased to receive from
Governor Shaw a telegram urging him
to become lowa's favorite son. but he
says he has no intention of comply
ing,
Why. | shall be Is when the con
yention of 1904 meets said Mr.. ALI
son. 'and you could not convince our
people that man of Is is not old.
Some one else will have to pose as
lowa's favorite son. for ! will not and
| am serious. | mean what | say.
Why should Governor shaw himself
be the candidate of our state? He is
a fine man and has good record be
hind him. | am sure everyone in
Iowa would be glad to JOIN in present
ng his name to the national conven-
ton"
The general understanding among
Iowans here is that Senator Allison
has abandoned for good his ambition
to become president of the United
States.
Senator Allison realizes that time
has passed him by. He would be rs
when nominated and f6 almost to
day on his Inauguration. and the Re-
publican party is not likely to take
chances on candidate as old as he
is. Aside from the question of age,
Senator Allison is not half as anxious
to be president of the United States
as he once was. He knows it is
post that kills all but the most hardy
and enduring of men. and he is very
happy and contented in the place he
now occupies, father of the senate and
Republican leader of that body.
