Senator la Toilette
Doomed by Bryan
Nebraskan Declares That Wisconsin Senator Is the
Logical Candidate for the Presidency on
the Republican Ticket

Des Moines, Ia. April s.-WIlliam
Jennings Bryan, in speech at the
Jefferson club banquet Saturday night
lauded La Toilette as the proper can
didate for the presidency on the re-
publican ticket for 1908. He declar-
ed that La Toilette was the only re-
publican i'm the senate who fought for
real reform against the railroads, and
said the Wisconsin leader Is a better
reformer today than Roosevelt ever
was and more courageous than the
president ever win be.
Roosevelt seeks to place his man
tie on Taft, but you may search in
vain in Tafts record for single
thing he stands for, or ever did stand
for, that the people want" said Mr.
Bryan.
Bryan declares that federal con-
trol of the railroads would never be
ia reality, because the senate lis filed
with representatives of corporations
and that the state legislatures are now
doing toward controlling corporations
what congress never could be induc-
ed to do.
Roosevelt is just finding out what
we have known for years-that con-
spiracy exists In the party to turn it
over to the corporations" said Bryan
III is the same conspiracy we had two
years ago. 1t defeated us and it will
defeat Roosevelt.
Il am not sure but that few more
squabbles with the republicans like
those of the past few days and Roose-
welt will surrender back our ideas
which he has appropriated and to
which his whole popularity is due. He
is too democratic for the republicans
and not good enough for the demo-
Gratis. Unless Roosevelt will come out
openly and say that the trust mag
mates are no better than highwaymen
we cannot accept his pretended fight
against the corporations as sincere"
Bryan warmly scored the manage
ment Of the Parker campaign and was
loudly cheered when he said the con-
serVatiye element shah not control the
democratic campaign next time

CASE NEAR cLosE-MEMRERs
OF THAW FAMILY PRESENT.

New York. April With the OPEN
ing OF the Thaw trial today District
Attorney Jerome said he could only
ask the court formally not to confirm
the report of the commission in lunacy.
Justice Fitzgerald over-ruled the mo-
tion and ordered the trial to proceed.
He signed the report Of the lunacy
commission, thereby approving it, Dr,
Allan McLane Hamilton was called as
a witness.
District Attorney Jerome objected to
DR., Hamilton testifying i'm sur -rebuttal,
saying Il was a reopening of the entire
case. He was sustained Both sides
thereupon rested.
Justice Fitzgerald ordered that the
jury be locked up after today until the
case was given to them for their yer-
diet, and the court took a recess until
2 o'clock. Delmas will begin his sum
ming up at that hour All members of
the Thaw family were present. Delmas
stated that in view of the many inter-
ruptions, it would be necessary to re-
fresh the minds of the jury concerning
the testimony, and it might take two,
three or four DAYS.
Delmas began by quoting from a
statement by District Attorney Jerome
when he said:
I'VE have no right to be here trying
this man if the real facts were
known" Delmas said ne would ask
the acquittal on the written law of the
state Of New York.
In the course of his plea, when Del
mas came TO the point where he ar
gued as to the truthfulness of Eyelyn's
story on the witness stand, he paid a
glowing tribute to Jerome calling him
a master mind, but added that even
though gifted beyond the average
mind he could not shake the testimony
Of EVELYN Nesbit Thaw.
Delmas declared that large sums
paid by White to Mrs. Nesbit, Eve-
ilyn's mother, proved he had ruined
her daughter He denounced Mrs.
Nesbit as an unnatural mother, who
had given District Attorney Jerome a
statement to torture the wounded soul
of her daughter Delmas declared
that White had committed a felony in
his assault on Evelyn Nesbit.

Washington, April s.. While official
Information Of the capture of Puerto

troops, has not reached the state de-

day saying that aavices had been re-
ceived there that troops We're advanc-

Trujillo A cablegram failed TO say
whether the troops We're marching to-

ence to the Nicaraguan army ana that
it was advancing from Trujillo. which
already was IN the hands Of the Mica

eA This makes IL probable that the cap-
tlIre OF Puerto Cortez was by the Me

BRITT OWES MUCH TO KELLY

The big man behind the gun
was Spider Kelly, who seconded
Jimmy Britt to the intense satisfac-
zion of all his hackers If Britt had
any desire To rush and floor Bat with
a swat on the jaw Kelly discouraged
him Fight carefully" was Kelly'sI
slogan last night. Kelly's instructions
were: when Bat starts that in-fght-
ing don't YOU make move until he
stops punching. You protect yourself,
out just as soon as Nelson stops try
ing to get in them uppercuts you go to
work and punch his bloody head off .
Kelly was afraid of Nelson at close
range. After the battle. the Spider
stated that Britt fought right to or
ders, and he had only words of praise
for his exhibition. 3"Jimmy made oncl
of the most remarkable fights in the
history of the ring" chirped Kelly I'M
the midst of buhch Of excited fans.
Look, see what he did, cried Kelly,
swinging both arms in the air. He
comes back and beats the man who
gave him an unmereifll beating. How
often have you seen that? Nelson
went the limit, yes, but Britt would
nave knocked him ont If he had want
I'd to take chances. l was satisfied he
had the fight won, so | advised him to
be content with out-pointing him"
Kelly was dripping with perspira-
zion when he left the ring 1t was a
question whether he or Britt was more
tired. The Spider worked over Britt
as he never worked over another
tighter, and Jimmy owes a lot to his
chief second.
Tommy Burns picked Britt to win.
He bet some money on the short
ender and on the way to the fight he
told Eddie Smith, the Oakland referee,
that in his opinion Britt would win.
Britt will stay away this time,
said Burns, "and make his skill as a
boxer count. Such fight will win in
a twenty-round go with the Dane.
Britt can out-point him and get the
decision, and he will do it, after the
lesson he was taught at Colma."
The dividing up of the receipts was
