PARKER WILL NOT BULGE
Chairman Taggart Issues What May
Be Considered a Final Statement.
Judge Parker VIII NOt Recede From
His Decision Not to Take h
Stump In the Campaign.

New York, Oct. chairman Tag
CART at democratic headquarters gave
out the following statement:
Shortly after Judge Parker set
about the consideration of his course
of action toward the conduct of the
campaign, he consulted many men OF
large experience in such matters and
made an examination of the course of
every successful candidate. That done,
he decided, as it was necessary for
him to do, what his course should be,
and he caused that decision to be made
generally known. It-was to the effect
that he would not COUPON the stump;
that such speeches as he should deem
it desirable to make could DE made at
Rosemount, following in that respect
the Mckinley precedent of 1896.
THAT decision made and announced,
he proceeded to work along the lines
he had marked out for himself. He be-
lieyed then-as he believes now-that
he decided rightly, and no amount OF
e%ntreating would bulge him His rec
ord during all his life proves that
clamor will not move MIN one iota.
The incident is closed and those in
charge of the campaign FULLY approve
of the determination of Judge Par
ker."
Judge Parker has been importuned
to speak in various states and this an
nouncement is designed to prevent
further similar requests.

NOT ENTIRELY FRUITLESS
Representations Submitted to Rus
STA May Be Acted Upon.
Hope is Created That Something
May he Accomplished i'm Regard
to Recognition of Passports.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 7.-Contrary to
general expectations, the representa-
| ions submitted to Russia by the Unit
| ed States for the recognition without
| discrimination of American passports,
have not been entirely fVuitless. For
sign Minister Lamsdorf's response,
communicated to Ambassador McCor-
mick, Wednesday. increased the hope
hat something may actually be accom-
plished. After receiving consideration
at the foreign office the American note
was referred to the high commission
for general revision of the passport
Jaws of the emperor. which was Great
ed by imperial ukase on December II,
1903.
AS all matters relating 10 passports
and the exclusion of Jews are gov
erned by the internal laws OF he en-
pire, the question is outside the direct
field of diplomatic negotiation. BY re-
ferring the representation Of the
United States. compliance Of which
would involve a modification OF the
passport laws to the commission,
which body is competent TO act there
on. a decision of the question may be
directly reached. An official Of the for
eign office has been appointed by
| Count Lamsdorff to sit with the com
mission, thus ensuring consideration
Of the international aspects of the
question. Moreover, the commission
| will sit under the direction OF the
minister of the interior, n -Ambassa-
| dor Mccormick, who had an extended
talk with Prince SviatOpolk-Mirsky,
the minister of the interior, upon the
subject Thursday evening, found him,
as might have been expected from his
| recent public ~utterances, quite synpa-
thetic. Indeed, there is reason TO be-
llieve that reference OF the subject I
the commission was previously ar
ranged at a conference between Count
Lamsdorff and Prince SViatopolk-
Mirsky.
Considering that this is ne hrst
time that the Russian authorizes
have not b%rusquely declined to enter
tain American representations on this
question, the present response to Am
bassador Mccormick may he regarded
as another signal proof Of Russia's de-
sire for friendly relations with the
United States.

MRS. BENTLEY Is HELD
Woman Who Revealed the Nillcr
Murder Now Changes Details
of Her story. -

Holden. Mo, Oct. Mrs. Anna J.
of Carl Miller to officers here, claiming
hat she did SO as o as she could
escape from Robert Sassaman, who
she alleges killed Miller has admit
ted that Sassaman had lived for six
weeks in Topeka, Kas.. While she lived
in Kansas City, and that she has not
seen him for the last two weeks.
She intimated that he had deserted
her to go with some other woman, and
it is thought that the motive for her
revealing the Miller murder is re-
venge. 81
Mrs. Bentley received a letter from
Sassaman September II. This, with a
picture of the missing man, she gave
70 Sheriff Kock Thursday. She gave
vague hints that Sassaman might now
be in North Dakota or Minnesota.
The coroner's jury Wednesday night
visited the well where Miller's body
was found. and. after again hearing
Mrs. Bentley's story, gave the verdict
that Miller came to his death from the
bow of an ak in the hands of Robert
Sassaman.
Mrs. Bentley said that she had lived
in ST. Louis with Sassaman at No.
3S44 Marine avenue, at No. zoos Usage
street and at No. 2237 Maiden lane.
She claims to have known him for sew
eral years.
Mrs. Bentley visited the well with
officers. and as her story differs in so
many details from what she told We'd
nesday, she has been placed In the
Warrensburg Jail for ~safe-keeping.
