"Nominate Somebody Whom They Can

That Paper.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 30.-Republi-
can belief that A. E. Mead, ]. D. Far
relrs candidate for governor, will be
defeated, is reflected in a significant
editorial paragraph in Mondays Port
land Oregonian. The paragraph is as
follows:
"Why don't the republicans in tho
state Of Washington pull down Mead,
misnamed for governor, and put up a
man whom they can eIect?"
The Oregonian is now and fer
long time mas been an ardent sympa-
thizer with the railroad forces in this
state. 1t threw the weight Of it's in
f1uence into the southern counties Of
Washington, where it circulates extern
lively, against the denomination of Gov
ernor Mcbride. 1t has fought the rail-
road commission idea in season and out
of season, and until last Monday has
made light of the claim that there was
a serious revolt of republicans against
railroad domination in this state.
Has Seen a Light.
The paragraph quoted, however, is
evidence that the Oregonian has seen
"a light. The Oregonian has been
checking up the state of republican
feeling, particularly on the west side,
and the result of it's investigation is
shown in the statement quoted from it's
editorial page.

ton, and l know the dangers that l
have to look out for. 1 am young

fries has hardly had time to become
the victim of old age. Yet the great

slipping down out of his fighting con-
dition, just as John l.. Sullivan and
hundreds of others less famous did be-
fore him.
Jeffres after spending several weeks
in training. developed a sore knee, and
called off the match with Jack Munroe.
This fight is to go on some day in Au-
gust. unless the champion falls down
again.
1t was not a sore knee that kept JEFF
fries out of the ring. 1t was the fact
that he found it impossible to get into
shape for the battle with a Young.
strong fighter, and he was unwilling to
risk his title
The reason that Jeffries could not get
into shape is the same that troubled
him while preparing for his fight with
COrbett last fall.
When the giant first came East fresh
from the training camp at Carson he
was as rugged as a man could be- The
great muscles that he developed by
hard work in a boiler factory were just
softening enough to be elastic. His
body was rs thin as greyhound's, and
his lungs had the power and capacity
of blacksmith's bellows He was full
of energy. When training he could
not find time in twenty-rour hours to
do all the work he felt like doing. He
ran on the road until his trainers
thought he would drop dead. He
boxed and did everything that a fighter
IN training ever had done.
But now it is a hard thing for JEFF
fries to get up energy enough to go out
on the road. to box or to do any of the
other stunts.

ever. Thus he pleads absolutely in
noCence Of the crime. He says he
never saw Florence Wells before the
Sunday evening on which she came out
TO the gate. when ne passed. and gave
him a flask and a quarter with which
to buy liquor.
The other man. who, like Williams, is
described by witnesses to have had
dark hair and darkly tanned features,
who was of medium built and had
peculiar staggering walk and who was
seen about the house of the woman,
was evidently the man who committed
the crime, If there were two.
Mrs. Hiccock, who lives near the
house in which Florence Wells made
her home, said on the witness stand,
after having seen Williams more close
ly, that the man she saw about the
woman's house was darker than Will
lams Though Williams hair is dark,
it is not black. The man Mrs. Hic-
cock saw had very black hair. She
is sure Of this, as she saw him remove
his hat while standing near the wom-
ans door, to mop the perspiration from
his brow. She saw mis- hair was not
only black. but curly. Williams hair
is not curly.
When Were Sleeves Torn Off?
1t has also developed in the prelim-
mary hearing that Williams did not
tear his sleeves from his shirt in the
Roseburg Jail: at least the prisoners,
who at first were understood to say
they saw him do so, withdrew their
statement wnen asked definitely.
Whether it is a case of uncertainty on
their part or of sympathy for a fellow
unfortunate is not known. Anyway.
this feature of the case, on which the
fate of Williams hung, will no longer
work to his disfavor. There still re-
mains the testimony of the Grants
Pass barber, who shaved Williams. and
who declares his sleeves We're on his
shirt when he was in the barber shop
here. just before the crime. If this is
true. Williams did not remove his
sleeves at Ashland, as he states, but
sometime after leaving here.
1t therefore appears that Williams
has either been made an unfortunate
victim of circumstance or is remark
ably smooth liar. At present the dis
trict attorney is disposed to favor the
former deduction.
By being at the house of Florence
Wells but few hours before another
man Of medium build, and with dark
hair and dark eyes, was there and
committed murder. Joseph Williams
may have a narrow escape from the
penitentiary or the gallOws.

MCCARTHY DENIES

that the statement made by three sail
ors from the ship Hawaiian Isles in
the Police Court few days ago. Is I'M
true. The men were arrested for dis
turbing the quiet Of the night. They
testified that Mccarthy had given them
liquor. Mccarthy says that the men
were in his boarding house only about
half an hour. A sailor living there
sent out for gallon of wine OF which
he gave the three bottle. That was
all the liquor they had In Mccarthy
place. Before they left Mccarthy ad'
vanced them some money.
Mccarthy wishes these facts to be
made known, as he is afraid that the
testimony given by the sailors might
injure his reputation. The sailor who
gave the three men the wine was with
Mccarthy when he told the above
story aud corroborated Il.
