TAGGART ON THE
WITNESS STAND
Rv Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WOOSTER, O., Aug 12.-The climax
of the Taggart divorce case came today
when Captain Taggart declared on his
direct examination that he had always
been a faithful husband. This was
near the close of his testimony and
was in answer to question by his at
torney.
While on the stand the captain con-
tinued his story Of the events leading
up to the separation of himself and his
wife. He told of the farewell with his
wife, after they had decided to sepa-
rate and when he was going to the
Philippines, when she affectionately
called him Tag and kissed him good
bye. In the ross-examination. which
was interrupted by the adjournment at
noon till Monday, Attorney Smyzer for
Mrs Taggart sought to convey the i'm
preston that Taggart alone was re-
sponsible for the overindulgence of his
wife in intoxicating liuors, that line of
questioning will probably be pursued
on Monday.
1--WE drank about everything that
came our way" said Taggart, describ-
ing a third year leave he had spent
with other cadets in New York. He
frankly admitted that the cadets drank
about all the drinks they knew Of;
that they came pretty fast and that
he liked them. He did not become drunk
in New York and drank temperately
there invariably afterwards. In reply
to a question as to how much he drank
at Fort Douglas. Taggart replied:
"I dare say about the same as you
would have drank" The court room
burst into a roar of laughter at this.
Taggart kept whisky and beer for
the entertainment of guests and usually
drank with them but never alone. He
would offer guests drinks six times a
day If they would drink them that
often, but himself would observe his
habit of sobriety by reducing the size
of his drinks.
At Camp Highwood now Fort Sheri-
dan. near Chicago, Taggart had met
and married ''this little woman" as
Smyzer invariably calls Mrs. Taggart,
He said that she had been reared to
abstain from liquors. During the court
ship he thought this little woman"
had been infatuated with him. He de-
MED that he induced" her to drink
beer when she first Joined him at
Plattsburg barracks, but said he raised
no objection when the trained nurse
who accompanied her from Chicago
suggested 1t. She drank 1t, she said,
for medicinal purposes and he accepted
her reason as true.
There is talk In Wooster Of pos
sible reconciliation OF the estranged
husband and wife as result OF some
OF the developments Of the trial, and II
is pointed out that the captain In his
testimony has been as considerate OF
Mrs. Taggart's feelings as he possibly
could be under the circumstances.

PORTSMOUTH,. N. H., Aug. 12.-
There is a rift in the clouds. The pros
poets of a successful issue of the
Washington conference" have bright
ened somewhat as a result of today's
developments. The discussion of the
terms submitted by japan has actually
begun, but this has been accomplished
by postponing the consideration of the
two main issues, indemnity and the
cession of Sakhalin.
So far as is ascertainable the Japa-
nese were responsible for the tactics by
which this hopeful stage was entered
upon. AS the mantle of secrecy has
been thrown around the proceedings by
mutual pledges not to divulge what
happened within the council chamber
there are missing links in the chain of
evidence, and II is impossible to Judge
whether this signifies a backdown on
either side on the main points. On the
face of things both sides are still as
uncompromising as ever, upon the two
Issues, the struggle over them being
merely postponed.
Some sort OF private understanding
arrived at by Baron Komura and Mr..
Witte during the recess at the navy
yard today is hinted at. but there is not
the slightest confirmation obtainable.
No evidence of change of the uncom-
promising attitude on the part OF Mr..
Witte or Baron Rosen regarding the
main points is observable. Neyerthe-
less the Japanese who are attached to
the Nippon mission plainly manifest
elation, ana some OF them privately as

cHASES YOUNG STEPFATHER
WITH REVOLVER
CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT
Harry Muir Attacks Paul sepuIveda
and Pursues Him With Loaded
Weapon Until Police Ar
rive on Scene

Another chapter in the long story Of
the Sepulveda-Muir family difficulties
was recorded last night at 242S Mani
tou avenue when Harry Muir, accord
ing to the statements of his mother and
other witnesses, pointed a revolver at
his young stepfather, Paul Sepulveda,
married a year ago to Mrs. John Muir,
widow of the street railway magnate,
and threatened to shoot him.
The revolver, which belonged to
young Sepulveda, had been unloaded
yesterday by It's owner and hidden
away benath the mattress of his bed.
where 1t was caught up by Muir few
minutes before he rushed into an ad-
Joining room to point the weapon at his
stepfather's head.
Sepulveda ran from the hause and
sought refuge with neighbors, where
1t is alleged Muir followed him.
Muir was taken in charge by Patrol
man Gilpin, who says that on the way
to the station Muir repeatedly made
threats against the life of Sepulveda.
Arrived at the station Muir said he
had been only joking. and that he knew
the revolver was not loaded. He was
booked on the charge of drunkenness.
Feared for Her Life
"TIe is my own son." said Mrs. Paul
Sepulveda at her home last night, 'but
I cannot tell lie for him. Had the
revolver been loaded he would have
killed me as I stepped in between him
and Paul, and selling him arm, cried
out for my husband to run.
"Then Harry pushed me violently
from him and I fell to the floor, drag
ginR the portieres from their hangings.
Paul ran across the street to neigh
boris house and my son pursued him.
'Harry, who is next to my youngest
son, has made threats to murder my
husband and last night his attempt
was entirely without provocation. My
husband was seated by my bedside
when Harry entered and tried to thrust
the revolver in his face"
Patrolman Gilpin returned with Sc
pulveda to the house and as the two
started to leave Muir followed, saying
he would accompany them. After go
ing short distance, Muir turned, the
officer says, and ran back to the house.
Mrs Sepulveda was there, and the
patrolman, fearing for her safety, re-
turned to the house, where Muir, it is
said, attempted to draw revolver.
Gilpin rushed upon him and pinioned
his arms behind his back while Mrs.
Sepulveda took the weapon from her
sons hand.
Mrs. Sepulveda says there were other
firearms in the house and that she be-
lieves her son returned to search for
them.
Mrs. sepuIveda Hysterlcal
She was In a state of almost nervous
prostration last night when a patrol
man called to ascertain whether or not
it was her intention to prefer a charge
against young Muir. "He is my son," !"
she responded, but he should be pun
ished. Let him remain where he is
until tomorrow morning, then shall
know what to do"
Mrs. Muir, year after the death of
her husband, married Paul Sepulveda,
who is many years her junior, the mar
riage being opposed by her five sons.
There have been charges and counter
charges made by Sepulveda and his
stepsons, early in the year charge
of forgery being preferred by the
Muirs against Sepulveda.

ONE JUROR
AT A TIME
UNITED STATES JUDGE A LIZ
ING THE BOX WHEN
EXPENSE AC-


United States Judge Dole has adopt
ed a new method in securing Jurors
when the court panel is exhausted,
which is the subject of good deal Of
discussion among lawyers and may
lead to plilNa at Washington. The
judge holds that under the law he may
only send for one new juror at a time
and this is the program he is carrying
out. Instead Of sending the marshal
out for half a dozen men the judge
sends for one man at time and ad-
journs court to wait for the one man.
The result is very slow work in get
ting juries and the pilng up Of very big
expenses in the Office Of the United
States Marshal Hendry. The possible
pilikia at Washington will come IN
when the Department Of Justice pass
es upon Marshal Hendry's vouchers for
the expenses
The new system was carried out in
the new trial Of Keawe, charged with
embezzling post office funds, in which
jury was secured this morning after
long effort. When twelve men had
passed for cause the peremptory chal-
lenges began and when a juror was ex-
cused, the panel being exhausted,
Judge Dole held that under the statute

NOMINEES, SOME TIMES.

"Hi" is the man. The High Sheriff will
according to the belief of men in close
touch with the political situation, be
the nominee of the Civic Federation
for the office of county sheriff. The
man of the hour is nigh and Hi will
not say the Civicers nay, if they OIIer
him the shrievalty nomination.
But the High Sheriff is coy on the
subject and while he does not come out
and state in so many words that he
is a candidate for the nomination,
nevertheless he is walking about with a
political lightning rod sticking out of
his neck waiting for the nomination
lightning to strike. And when it does
strike, there will be no cold shivers
running down his spinal column. Con-
trary he will swell with pride and like
Jobs warhorse scent the battle from
afar.
The Civic Federation win now be
known as the Hi-Low-J Jack-and-G Game
combination. Hi will be high of course,
the deal that is being played on Brown
will be low so his friends say, the Civic
Federation will be the Jack and the
game will be the Governors.
And first she said she wouldn't.
Then she said she couldn't.
Then she whispered, "WeH, I'll see."
Hi is whispering and he is so coy. III
fact such coyness does not look well
in pants Hi ought to be prancing
around in a skirt and doing the Merry
Little Mountain Maid stunt until that
nomination hits him in the neck then
he can metamorphose into a Rich
mond and take the field against Brown.
Just where HIS strength will come

the worst of it is, you do not know who

elected Sheriff of oahu, hence it be-
hooves every respectable man i'm the

die of the road and to get home before
dusk each evening.

mo-" said High Sheriff Henry this
morning to a Star reporter, Il have not
been rendered the nomination from the

might accept such nomination if it
were rendered to me, under some con-
siderations. l would certainly give the
matter some thought before decided

however to decide the matter. 1 will

How about being charged with being a
traitor to the party and knitting the
ticket? Well, on the Mainland it is
frequently the case for a member Of a
party to run for office against the reg
