NEW YORK, July 1-Today's
Times prints the following cable dis
patch from its correspondent at Lon
don:
us it true" asked Mr.. Bryan yes
terday. that President Roosevelt
caught you in swimming and stole your
clothes? over in America they say
that is what has happened"
He did not get all my clothes" Mr..
Bryan answered. laughingly, and quick
ly added: "I doubt whether what he
did get fits him very we'll"
Mr.. Bryan went on: 1T is hard, up
hill work for Mr.. Roosevelt to make
his administration respond to the coun-
try's evident demand, for reform, for
the country gave him no mandate. The
platform on which he was elected does
not declare that our laws and our gov
ernment should aim at the welfare OF
the whole people, butEif a Democratic
president is chosen in 1908, he will un-
doubtedly represent a party committed
TO this reform idea and will be in quite
a different situation.
There is no doubt about the people s
wish in this respect. Views that were
considered revolutionary a few years
ago are now accepted as sane and nee
essary. A change has come over the
country. An American asked me today:
% Mr.. Bryan, how do you explain
the change that has come over some of
our rich men in respect to their atti-
tude toward Democratic principles"
II replied that the explanation is
very easy. The people who live in
valley watch the dams above them, and
If a flood is threatened they know that
the higher the dam the greater the
danger and some of them have made
up their minds that they cannot afford
TO dam public sentiment any longer.
There is another thing to be con-
sidered," Mr.. Bryan remarked after
a pause, namely, the ethical move
ment. A great many men are beginning
TO learn that there are things more
valuable in the world than money and
it has developed cases where men have
taken a larger view of their relations
to their felowmen and their response
bilities. This introspection is making
some of them ashamed of the question

sorted in the past"

BEATTVILLE, KY, July 11.-Curtis
Jett, at the afternoon session of the
trial of Judge Hargis for murder, took
the witness stand, admitted the assas-
sination of Lawyer Marcum and told
the manner in which the crime was
committed.
"Mr. Marcum had prosecuted me in
several cases and was my bitter enemy
and / am the man who killed him." said
Jett. He then told Of the assassina ton
tallying with the description given by
b. j. Evan.
That Jett has had some marvellous
change of heart is apparent. but the
reason may he found in the statement
of Commonwealths Attorney Adams
who said Jett had been drinking and
that another attempt will be made to-
morrow to get him to repeat his con-
fession.
Tom White followed Jett on the stand
and asked Attorney Byrd to excuse him
as he did not want to answer any ques-
tions. He was asked if he was in
Jackson the day Marcum was killed,
but declined to answer. White even
refused to answer after being told to
do so by the court. Judge Dorsey
ordered the witness to Jail.
w. B. Johnson said White told him
just a few weeks before Marcum was
killed that Hargis wanted him to do the
fighting for him. This testimony was
excluded yesterday but was admitted
today.

PARTISAN DEMANDS

NEW YORK. July 11.-A cable dis
patch from Paris says:
II want to be guillotined. They con-
demned me to death and they shall exc
cute me. I'll have none of their par
dons. There is no reason for a revision
of my sentence. Paris has not seen ar
execution in ten years, and I'm going to
give them the sight free"
This declaration was made by Pierre
Adam to the prison authorities and
lawyers who were trying to persuade
him to appeal for a commutation of his
death sentence for murder. He has re-
sisted the persuasions persistently for
three weeks.
AS the law stands it prescribes that
executions shall be public, but since the
guilloitine was moved some years ago
from the notorious Place de la Roquette
the local officials everywhere have sue
cessfully resisted the efforts to obtain
a new site, and the guilotlne has lain
idle in a shed, the officers of Justice not
Venturing to offend any part of the city
by insisting upon it's erection. They
have consequently persuaded everyone
condemned to death to appeal for a
commutation.

SHOOTS ADMIRAL
At SEBASTOPOL
HATED CH0UKNIN SHOT DOWN
BY A SAILOR
Long Condemned to Death by Revolu.
tionists, Victim Averted Assass-
ination TIL Now-Despised
In Fleet
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEBASTOPOL, July 1t.-An attempt
was made at 1 o'clock this afternoon
to assassinate Admiral Chouknin, COM
mander of the Black Sea fleet. The
admiral was wounded and taken to a
hospital. The bullet lodged in his lung,
making breathing difficult.
The admiral's assailant is thought to
be one of the sailors of the battleship
Otchakoff, and his act is supposed to
be in revenge for the execution of
Lieut.. Schmidt the revolutionary
leader.
Admiral Chouknin was universally
hated by his sailors and at the time Of
the execution of Schmidt. the revolu-
tionists condemned him to death, one
hundred of their number pledgng
themselves to carry out the sentence.
This is the second attempt since
Schmidts execution.
The first attempt was made by wo-
man and as her effort had failed Ad-
miral ChOuknin ordered her to be
killed on the spot and his orderlies
brutally carried out the sentence in the
court yard. For this the admiral was
again condemned to death by the revo-
lutionists.
His name was never mentioned
among his sailors unless it was ac-
companied by curses on account of his
overbearing manner.

TAFT DISCUSSES
PANAMA CANAL
TELLS WHY APPARENT DELAY
OCCURRED
Secretary Of War Declares Reasons
Are Sufficient and Explains
Several of Them at
Length
BY Associated Press.

PUT-IN-BAY, o.. July 11.-Secretary
of War Taft, in his speech today before
the State Bar association, after apollo
gizing for not having selected legal
subject, began his address upon the
Panama canal by giving reasons for the
selection by the government of the
Panama route and explaining the ap-
parent delay in the actual work of ex-
caVation.
The necessity of improving sanitary
conditions before the actual work of
construction was actively commenced
was strongly emphasized and it was
shown that the nearly $4,000 employees
had in reality accomplished more than
any one realized in the building and
equipment of railroads, the construction
of water supply and building of thou
sands of homes for those engaged in the
work.
1t was pointed out that the actual ex-
caVation was much less of a problem
than what to do with the material
when it was taken out, much of which
had to be carried fifteen miles. reuuir-
ing the building of over 300 miles of
spur track.
