JEWISH MARTYR
!: MOCKS At DEATH

Odessa, Sept 22.-The first field
courtmartial was held here and ter
rorist Jew named Tarle was sentenced
to death and executed for killing a
policeman.
Tarle was in a pitiful condition
when brought before the court, from
loss of blood from five wounds re-
ceived before he was arrested. After
being sentenced he was carried to
the prison yard and tied to a post.
Three volleys were fired and Tarle
fell dead. His last words were
curses and expressions of contempt for
his captors "You assassins," he
cried. you believe that with your
organized attacks and field courts you
can shoot down the whole of young
Russia, but be assured that there are
bombs and revolvers enough to deliv-
er this unfortunate country from your
blood-stained hands. Now fire."

IN PEACE TERMS
CUBAN INSURGENTS CLOSE TO
VICTORY.
LEADERS SIGN ARMISTICE
All That Remains Is to Work Out the
Hold His Place, but Many Officials
Will Get Out and Stand for Re-
eestion

Havana, Sept. 25.-Victory for the
liberals or revolutionary party seemed
certain at the conclusion of long
conference last night between The
committee of insurgents and the
American peace commissioners. The
insurgent committee announced that
there was practically no difference re-
naming between it and Taft and Ba-
con and that they would receive a
draft of the peace plans today. These
probably would be agreed to at a
meeting to be held in the presidio,
where the prisoner members of the
committee are confined.
Taft said he could give no details
of what transpired at the conference,
for the reason that it was now neces-
sary to treat with the government
leaders, and the publication of the
peace proposals might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.
Taft and Bacon went to the palace
last night and informed President
Palma of the outcome of the negotia-
lions with the liberals. The absence
of a definite statement from the COM
missioners makes it impossible to say
whether the plans carry the resigna-
tons of the present administration

that Palma will remain and reorganize
the cabinet, but that new elections
will be held for half the senators and

who were elected last year, and pos

that the liberal leaders desire in the
memorandum of the peace program.

Havana, Sept. 25.-An armistice was
signed yesterday by representatives of
both factions. Heretofore there was
merely verbal agreement without
any definite terms, but a document

these chiefs attached their signatures
to it. The document was signed by

The republican party of Wisconsin,
through its representatives assembled
in accordance with the provisions of
the primary election law, af1rms it's
adherence to the principles set forth
in the republican state platforms of
1902 and 1904.
We heartily endorse the administra-
+ ton of President Roosevelt.
We adhere to the republican doc
trine of protection to American labor,
but believe in the readjustment of
tariff schedules in all cases where pro
lection is employed for the benefit of
capital to the injury of the consumer
and the working man.
We endorse and approve the past
administration of Governor Robert M.
La Toilette as conspicuously progress
sive, honest, and economic, and point
with pride to his advocacy of a faith
full compliance with party promises
made to the people of Wisconsin in
the past. And we specifically point out,
among the important measures Sc
cured during his administration, the
laws affecting primary elections, the
state railway commission, and equit-
able method of railway taxation, the
law prohibiting improper legislative
lobbying, and other laws of great value
to the people of Wisconsin. We ap,
prove the work recently done in con-
gress to secure similar legislation,
and we urge upon our senators and
representatives in congress to join i'll
islation as will insure in national af-
fairs the same reforms as have been
enacted into laws in Wisconsin, and
heretofore and now recommended by
the platforms of the republican party
in this state.
We endorse the administration of
Governor James o. Davidson, and bis
business like conduct of the affairs
of state He has never faltered in
his adherence to the principles Of
the party as expressed in it's plat
forms of recent years. and continu-
alton of his administration assures a
continuation of the reforms so au-
spiciously begun.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of law providing for the reg
ulation of rates of service of all pub
lie service corporations, similar to
that now exercised over railroads.
The same reasons exist for control
ing the rates Of water, electric light.
gas telephone, telegraph, and street
railway companies and other pub
lic-service corporations as for control
ling transportation rates. Legislation
should be enacted making it the duty
of the railroad commission to ascer
tain the value of the property of all
such corporations.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of law providing for the regu-
lation of the issue of stocks and
bonds of all public-service corpora
tons, giving to the Wisconsin Rail
road Commission supervisory control
over the same, and by appropriate
provisions preventing the issue of
any such stocks and bonds, except
for actual value.
We favor the enactment of laws for
the regulation of the business of life
insurance, which shall provide for
the fullest protection to the funds of
such companies; the protection of

lieve he will do everything possible
in winding up the affairs of the in

he considered it very valuable and ne

discussion of the banks affairs"

Just before the boat reached the
city the younger Stensland gave out
a statement on behalf of his father
He says his father is exceedingly
sorry for the depositors and that if
they lose anything it will be because
some one else is doing a whole loS of
crooked work. He says his father is
not gitfyferorog radtuyhse ar yeoffo
not guilty of forgery.
Today Stensland will be taken to
the district attorneys Office and after
the necessary extradition formalides
have been attended to it is expected
he will proceed Immediately to Chi
cago in custody of the detectives.
There were no evidences that Stems
land intended to fight extradition pro-
ceedings. 1t was know, however,
that the younger Stensland had been
granted writs of habeas corpu 5
which he could use in emergency to
stay the proceedings.
Stensland, in charge of detectives,
will leave for Chicago at $3.50 this
afternoon on the New York Central S

CHEMISTS FOR
SUGAR FACTORIES.


According to the contract which the
beet sugar companies now doing bust
ness in the state have made their 70
spective patrons the chemists at the
factories who are to analyze the beets
furnished by the farmers are to be ap-
pointed by the director of the expert
ment station. For the coming cam
paign, the following men have been ap.
pointed by Acting Director Babcock to
the position of beet chemists in the
Wisconsin sugar factories, viz:
For the Wisconsin Sugar company
at the Menomonie Falls factory,
M. E. Tweeden of Oconomowoc.
For Rock County Sugar company at
the GAINESVILLE factory-A. A Towner
of Lansing, Mich.
For Chippewa Sugar company, at
Chippewa Falls factory-Paul Skefo
of Urbana, Ill.
For United States Sugar company,
at the Madison factory-H. M. Pot
ter, Madison.
The work of these chemists win be
under the direct supervision of the
chemical department of the experiment
station, and the patrons of these
sugar factories may, therefore, feel as
sured that the testing of their beets
will be done in careful, conscientious
manner, and that correct tests will be
reported to the management of the
various factories.

We pledge ourselves to further the

en- it and make it most effective as
an instrument of government in the

We favor the enactment of legisla-
ton which will enable any city or
village that SO desires to own it's
own public utilities, and to apply the
broad principles of eminent domain
in acquiring existing pants at their
true value. We also favor legislation
which will give to municipalities when
they purchase a public utility the
right to pay for the same out of the
proceeds of certificates of indebted
ness which shall be a lien on the
property SO purchased.
We favor the enactment of appro-

aid for the construction and i'm.
provement of the highways of the

We believe in the humane and SAN
itary housing of the people and the
better environment of home life in
the densely settled sections of our
larger cities, and favor legislation to
that end.
Realizing the great opportunities
existing within our state for the
farmer the merchant, the manufacture
er, and the homeseeker, we believe
legislative provision should be made
for the purpose of calling these oppor-
tunities to their attention in an official
manner.
We pledge the republican party of
Wisconsin to maintain, by appropriate
legislation, the highest standard Of
excellence in all public schools and
educational institutions of this state.
and to advance their efficiency to
meet every requirement consistent
with the needs of otr people.
We favor amending the constitution
whenever necessary to permit the en-
actment of laws which shall best ac-
complish the objects above mentioned.
With these declarations, the repub-
lican party confidently appeals to the
voters of Wisconsin for support, and
points to its record in past years as
evidence of its good faith, and a
guaranty of performance of it's
promises in the future.

called and each individually responded
to his name. The lines were closely
drawn and victory lay first on one
side and then on the other On one
vote, that on the question of adjourn

favor of the anti-Connor people, 60
