Political Maneuvers

When the Nebraska legislature met,
the members found that there were
about ESQ applicants of each appointive
place, and that was especially true of
this, Lancaster, county One Of the
members from here therefore thought
he would get rid OF the promises of
places which he had made without
limit during the campaign, by intro
ducfng a resolution that the speaker
should make all appointments on his
own authority. That chap thought he
had done a~fine thing-cot rid of all
his promises and all his bowling APP
plicants at one stroke. But the next
Gay tne speaker told the legislators
that there was Just two places for
every three OF them, or one and a
half piece and to get to work and
isend in the names, each applicant hav-
| ing three sponsors. Then that Lincoln
| legislator found that he was in worse
fix than ever. The truth is that there
was never a greater mob OF pie hunters
seen in Lincoln tnan at present throng
the restaurants and roeming houses
and each OF them believes that he has
done such important work in helping
to elect Roosevelt that lie has a right

Granting the principle that the gov
ernor should be giTen hearing and al
lowed to read a message, it requires
great forbearence on the part of the
people to remain silent and patient
when there is nothing to lie heard.
What IS more pathetic than the spec-
tacle OF governor putting his ear to
the ground after reading his message
to hear what the people say; and the
echo refuses to come?

BOY IS A SUICIDE
Child Of II Hang. Himself to Bed
post Because His Brothers Insisted
on Fec'ing the Chickens, Care Of
which He Wanted All TO Himself.


Des Moines. Oct. Angry at his
brother because the latter had fed
chickens which he wished to care for
himself. Wilbur Van Houten, the IL
year-old son Of Charles N. and Re
hacca Van Houton, committed suicide
Sunday morning by hanging himsen
with his belt from a bedpost. HIS
hody was found within few minutes
after life was extinct by his brother,
who. after calling him 10 breakfast
several times. went to the room 70 see
why he did not respond. Z
Wilbur had removed al his clothing
with the exception Of his shirt ana
taking a black leather ,oelt from ms
trousers had buckled it about MS
throat. tied the loose end to the knob
of the brass bed post at the head OF the
he'd. and either jumped from the bed
or fallen to the floor. His clothing
Law on the bed where he had discarded
it. and nothing in the room had been
tampered with.
Just how the boy succeeded in ac-
complishing his deed could not be as
certained. He was large for his age,
and the height of the bed was mo-.
sufficient to allow him to hang with
out touching the floor. AS conse-
m1ence. his feet were sprawled under
him on the floor, his knees half bent,
and his body hung limp and hfeless
against the side Of the bed.

Mr.. Root today formally took up the
important duties Of the office of sec
retary of state. He came early to the
state department, as did Mr. Bacon,
the new assistant secretary, and pre-
sented letter to Mr.. Loomis, retiring
assistant secretary. Naturally there
was much for Loomis to discuss with
Root and Bacon, as neither of these
gentlemen had kept close watch on re-
cent developments in international re-
lations and it. remained for the retir-
ing officer to place them in possession
of multitude of facts connected with
important pending diplomatic issues
1t probably will require at least two
days time to complete turning over Of
this class of business and consequently
Bacon has not yet taken the oath Of
office, in order not to displace Loomis
officially.

Dunlap, Oct Fired Anderson is
said to have entered the home Of John
Smith yesterday, and after searching
the house for valuables. locked the
doors on the inside, pocketed the keys
and attempted to commit rape on the
316-year-old daughter Of John Smith
who was in the house, but her screams,
together with her fierce struggles,
made Anderson give up. Happily, q
neighbor was passing by and entered
the house. On the arrival of Mr..
Smith, he went in quest Of Anderson
with shot gun but by persuasive in
fiuence Of the neighbors., he deferred.
Anderson was arrested by Constable
Ebert, and taken before Justice e. r.
Caldwell. Anderson waived examina-
tion, and was bound over for the sum
of $500 Failing to find funds he was
sent to the county Jail to await the
action of the grand jury, which is now
in session. Anderson Is a section hand

The verdict was returned only after
complete investigation of all the
evidence brought out following Girls
wold's death, close examination OF
all facts connected with the lnysteri-
Gus disappearance, a study of the re-
port of Charles ~ Kinney, state chem
list, who analyzed the contents OF the
stomach taken from the body. and
questioning of all who We're able to
throw any light on his previous life or
his Whereabouts Immediately preceding
his disappearance.
The report of the coroner's jury Of
ficially settles the question raised since
the body was fully identified as that

was due to suicide or murder, and dis
cards the theory accepted by Chief OF
Detectives Eli Hardin that the case

MAY coERcE CASTRO.
French Government Likely to Send
Warships to Venezuela.

Washington, Oct. 2-AmbasSadOr
Jusserand last night notified President
Roosevelt that the French government
intends to take immediate redress from
Venezuela, and received his assurance
that America will not interfere as long
as the Monroe doctrine is not violated.
There is to be no withdrawal of the
demand that President Castro shall
treat with NJ. Taigny, the French
charge d'affaIres. That official is be-
lieved to have conducted himself in q
straightforward and proper manner.
and the authorities at Paris are of the
opinion that Castro has broken off re-
lations with him in the hope of delay
ing the adjustment of the French cable
controversy.
Unless Mr.. Castro changes his atti-
tude and does so without loss of time,
it is the purpose of France to make
naval demonstration, probably Off lie
Guayra. The only French Warships now
in American waters are the cruiser
Jurien de la Graviere, $500 tons, which
is now at Martinique, within two days
steaming of La Guayra; the cruiser
Chasseloup-Laubat, 3,7OO tons, and the
cruiser Troude, 1900 tons, both of
which are in Newfoundland waters.
The French have a large navy, and
it is probable reinforcements for the
La Graviere will be sent from the
French channel fleet.
President Roosevelt had considered
what the attitude of this government
lis to be, and gave an immediate an
swer to M. Jusserands representa-
tions. State department advices show
that Castro was not justified in acting
as he has done against M. Taigny or
the French cable company.
M, Jusserand was informed, there
fore, that this, government will raise
no objections to any action France
NAV determine to take, only insisting
that there shall not be any violation
Of the Monroe doctrine thru the per-
manent occupation Of Venezuelan ter
ritory.
President Roosevelt would not agree
to any Joint representations or demon
strations which would be acceptable to
France. nor would he take upon the
shoulders of this country the responst-
bility of forcing Castro to deal more
Justly with international questions. To
do either would be departure from the
traditional American policy

in the case Of Albert T. Patrick, now.
condemned to death for the murder of
millionaire William Marsh Rice. ex-
Senator David B. Hill, in his briet,

phasis upon the fact that Judge Gray
who wrote the prevailing opinion
against Patrick, has son, Henry G.
Gray. who is assistant district attor-
ney in New York, and that this son
participated in the prosecution Of his
client. On account of this relation
ship, Hill argued that Judge Gray
should not have sat in the case. and
called attention to the fact that with
out his vote, the court would have
stood evenly divided.
