GIVES ADVICE IN
PASSING JUDGMENT
Shrewd officer Shows From an Incl
dent How Mistake is Possible
in the Mckinney Case.

One of the keenest officers in this
part Of the state in speaking of the
cruelty charge against Mrs. Mckinney
of Aledo said: You had better go
slow in handling this matter. It may
turn out that there has been a mis-
take. remember several years ago
when from all appearances as nice
and intelligent a girl as there is in
this town came 10 me and told me n
horrible story about the treatment
she was receiving at the hands of her
father The girl seemed to be truth
full and from the details she gave seem
ed to have a strong case. | made some
inquiry regarding her reputation a
school. and ascertained that she was
regarded as exceptionally truthful
The case looked dark for the father
Somehow it occurred to me that the
story was a fabrication. To have Civ
en- il any publicity would have meant
the everlasting disgrace of the father
if not Il penitentiary sentence. | de,
termined TO mike some further inquir
les AMI put the girl of for final de
cision. When she returned to me, |
had picked up certain matters that
might have a bearing on the case. l
questioned her sharply regarding these
things with the result that she broke
down completely and confessed that
the story she told about her father
was false from beginning to end. She
had acted out of revenge because her
father had refused to allow her 10
keep company with a certain boy. ]
have often shuddered over thinking
of what the effect of that story might
have been on that man and his family
No matter what he might have said
many would not have believed it. So
in this Aledo case, | would ask people
not to make up their minds completely
on an exparti information. Young PEG
pie of the age # this girl often invent
peculiar situations, as my long eXper
fence as an officer has revealed.

If anybody thinks this is easy, let

that distance attests his high lung ca

takes pluck. lots OF 1t, for il is only a
short time before the pleasurable thrill
of hitting the water gives way TO al
most pain. The lungs burst to take in
supply Of air. the head rings. the
heart throbs, and a sensation of unen-
durable WEAKNESS seems to paralyze
the limbs.
Roe is a member of the class OF 'O5,

represented his class in tournaments.
AS a member of the gymnastic team
he shows to advantage in the tumbling
and flying ring events.
Anybody who beats him at swim
ming will have to go under the water
with Il divers breathing apparatus
concealed somewhere on his person.
Roe recently told how ii feels to
swim 230 feet without once breathing.
He said
Before starting on the swim ! eX-
hale and inhale se.eral times. so as TO
clear out my lungs and get them we'll
filled with fresh oxygen.
After plunging into the water the
sensation is ut first very much like an
ordinary dive; then comes period
when only the strongest effort OF will
power enables me TO hold my breath.
1.-The ears feel as if something were
being driven into them. This is a re
suit of the pressure of the volume of
water on the eardrum.
Then the throat and chest muscles
become tired from retaining the air IN
the lungs and from the external pres
sure of the water.
"A sort of wearied stage succeeds
this. when the swimmer seems TO for
get the throbbing OF the chest and the
exhaustion of the arms and legs and
mechanically keeps going little longer.
FINALLY nature will stand no more,
and every instinct demands a rush for
the surface. In a virtual explosion the
used up air is expelled from the lungs.
and new supply is drawn in.
by this stage the swimmer is not
far removed from the unconscious
state, and little help I'm getting out
Of the tank is by no means unwel-
come"

ALL ARRANGED
FOR PEABODY

DENVER, Jan. 1.-Announcement
was made to-day by the Republicans
that when the General Assembly con-
venes in joint session to canvass the
vote for State officers, as required by
the constitution. two sets of returns
will be presented from Denver. The
majority report will show plurality
Of about 1000 for Adams, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. The
minority report will set forth extern
sive election frauds and declare that
Governor Peabody carried this county
by a plurality sufficient to overcome
Adams plurality of about 5000 in the
remainder of the State.
This minority report from Denver
will be supported by the full Repub-
lican vote in the Legislature and the
certificate Of. election will be awarded
to Governor Peabody. He will be in
augurated as Governor for a second
term on January 10, the date set by
the constitution, assert the Repub-
licans.
This line of action. according to the
view of the Republicans, will make
it necessary for the Democrats to
bring contest If they should still
care to assert any claim to the Gov
ernorship.
Another announcement by the Re-
publicans to-day is that the Senate
when called to order next Wednesday
will consist of twenty-one Republicans
and thirteen Democrats, with one va
cancy.
When the House convenes there will
be forty-seven Republican and eight
cen Democratic Representatives. The
vote on joint ballot will be: Repub-
licans 6S, Democrats, 81.
United States Senator Thomas M.
Patterson, in an address to the people
of the State, has reiterated his decla-
ration, made on several previous oc-
casions, that he will not seek or ac-
cept a reelection and has declared
that his purpose in remaining away
from Washington at this time Is to
fight what he terms conspiracy to
overthrow self-government in Colo
rado.

hopelessness of even the most heroic
resistance. Discussing the battle of

ROME, Jan. 1.-Rumors Of the con-
templated marriage Of King Alfonso to
Princess Victoria, the daughter of the
Duke Of Connaught and niece Of King
Edward VII, are being discussed from
a religious point of view at the Vatican.
1t is contended there that the British
laws, which are most positive on the
point of a change of religion by any
member of the royal house, would rem
der necessary the celebration of a
mixed marriage, after which the Prin-
cess Victoria, being no longer a mem
Der of the British royal family, would
become Catholic.
The Vatican, however, is most exact
ing regarding the marriage Of Catholic
sovereigns, and does not like the idea
of marriage and conversion afterward.
1t is stated, admitting that a marriage
between King Alfonso and Princess
Victoria is contemplated, that a solu-
tion of the question, so far as the Vati-
can Is concerned, may be found In the

Two Diplomats Are Honored.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The royal family
spent New Years day quietly at Sand
ringham. The New Year honors were
few. Sir E. B. Monson, the retiring
ambassador at Paris, was given a
Baronetcy and the King will place a
residence in Richmond Park at his dis
posal on his retirement from the diplo-
matte service. Sir Charles Hardinge,
the ambassador at st. Petersburg, was
decorated with the Grand Cross of st.
Michael and St. George. A number of
Indian officials were similarly honored.
From the religious point of view,
the feature of the day was the extraor-
binary activity of revivalists, who
held stirring services in London and
elsewhere, enormous crowds displaying
the greatest fervor.

lowing the published statement that w.
B. Meyers, a prominent naval engi-
stated that he had witnessed the shoot
ing of Caesar Young, the turfman, and
Meyers denial and assertion that he
was never in New York. it now devel-
ops that Algernon c.. Meyers was in
New York at the time and saw the
shooting and that he has given his
testimony to District Attorney Jerome.
Soon after the shooting it was re-
ported that Algernon Meyers witnessed
the affair, and at the time an attempt
was made to confirm the story. 1t
could not be done in New York, be-
cause Meyers had left that city 1t
could not be confirmed in Jacksonville
for the reason that Meyers where
abouts was not known to his mother,
who lives here Meyers had been liv-
ing at Delans, Fla.
The matter was drppoed without fur
ther investigation until the story Of
w. 3. Meyers alleged connection with
the case developed few days ago. 1t
was then that a correspondent ascer-
taiHed the whereabouts of Algernon
Meyers and asked him directly con-
cerning the matter. The following re-
ply was received:

Meyers, it is believed, is the man
who, Martin HaZelton says, was stand

Young shoot himself. The attorneys
for Nan Patterson have been unable
to locate this important witnesses for
the defense. Algernon Meyers Is not
related to w. B. Meyers.
