BLUEF|ELDS MAY
BE BOMBARDED
NlCaraguansA Are Much Agltated
by Movements of British
Cruiser.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. April 21.-The
British cruiser Retribution, which, I'M
der instructions from the imperial gov
eminent sailed from Kingston April
IL for Nicaraguan port in connection
with the seizure of six Cayman turtle
schooners and the arrest of their crews
by Nicaraguan officers. returned to
Port Royal from the Nicaraguan coast
today, after ascertaining that the yes
sells and crews had been sent to Blue
fields. The captain of the Retribution
accused the Nicaraguan cOmmandant,
under whose orders the schooners were
sezed, of piracy. There is consterna-
ton among the Nicaraguan officers
over the affair.
1t was necessary for the Retribution
to return to Port Royal to coal, but the
cruiser will sail for Bluefelds on Sat
urday to demand the release of the
prisoners and the boats and also COM
pensation for their illegal seizure and
detention. 1t is rumored that should
ii be found necessary, the Retribution
will lombard the port of Bluefelds.

BANDITS HANG TODAY.
All Efforts to Save the Chicago
Trio Fail.

CHICAGO. April 21.-For a crime
never paralleled in Chicago's history
for murderous ferocity and merciless-
ness, the penalty of the law will be
eXacted of the car barn bandits on the
scaffold tomorrow. The execution will
take place some time between 10 a. m.
and u noon. The intention tonight is
to hang the bandits separately. Mel
dermeier is still in bed, weak from in
juries inflicted in his attempt at sui
eide, but DR.. Mcnamara, Jail physi-
clan, declared tonight that Neider-
meier would be sufficiently strong to
walk to the scaffold.
With all hope of clemency gone, the
three murderers tonight seemed resign
ed to their fate and retired early Gov.
Yates following the recommendation
of the state board of pardons, declined
to stay the execution of Van Dine.
The execution of Neidermeier was
threatened with legal interference, but
no judge could be found to intervene.
Lawyers stated tonight that they will
try again tomorrow morning to have
the execution stayed. Any efforts to
delay the execution will be opposed by
the states attorney.

STALWART BREAST
Opponents of Gov. La Toilette,
of Wisconsin, Think Him
a Loser.


special 10 The Globe.
MADISON. Wis, April 21.-The Oppo-
nents Of Gov. La Follette's campaign for
a third term are in high spirits because
OF the gains made from the state conven-
ton delegate figures two Years ago. The
gubernatOrial caucuses have been held in
twenty-One counties and the govOrner has
lost 113 delegates representing districts
which We're for him two years ago. If this
ratio Of loss is continued throughout the
remaining forty-nine counties the defeat
Of La Toilette is assured by a fat major
ity. The administration people, however,
declare that the opposition. ordinarily
called stalwarts. called their caucuses in
all their sure counties as early as the
law would allow after the state conven-
tion had announced the call. They claim
that there remains small territory in the
state rom which the stalwarts can draw.
1t is generally understood that the race
is case OF La Toilette or the field. with
Samuel A. Cook. Of Neenah, and Judge
Emil Baensch. Of ManitOwOc as the field.
At present the chances favor the field.
Returns from the primaries indicate that
the rural vote is turning against the gov
ernor. He has hitherto been strongest
among the farmers.

The witness was asked if he remem-
bered a prosecution against him in

he remembered the prosecution. but
did not remember which wife he was
charged with cOhabiting with. He said
he was arrested, but had not testified
in any hearing When asked to de-
scribe the residences of his various
wives, he said they all lived in Salt

He had families by five of his wives.

Sured the president of the church for
his testimony, he said he had heard of
no criticism, but they regretted the
circumstances which made such dis
closures necessary.
Chairman Burrows asked the witness
how ii was that the resolutions adopt
ed at that conference had not declared
against polygamous cohabitation and
did declare against polygamy. The wit
ness replied that the question of polyg
amous cohabitation had not been men
toned; that IL was understood that
those who had plural wives should not
parade their families, but should care
for them.
Mr.. Cannon said he had supported
the resolution that had been adopted.
DO you mean you will go on living
with your plural wives?" the chair
man asked.

don't. l follow the dictation of my
conscience in the matter"

oaths taken in the endowment house,
saying that they were sacred cove

Mr. Cannon said the twelve apostles
had taken the endowment house oath.
Great interest was manifested by mem
bers of the committee concerning the
character of the endowment house
marriage ceremonies, but little could be
obtained from Mr. Cannon. When
pressed too closely he answered that
he could not rarnpnnher
