DAVIDSON PAYS
TRIBUTE TO DEWEY
AT UNWILLING OF MONUMENT TO
FIRST GOVERNOR.
LAID GOOD FOUNDATIONS
First Executive OF Wisconsin De-
scribed as Man of Plain Exter-
ior Who Needed Only the Opportu-
nifty to Reveal a Capacity for Great
Things.

Lancaster, Wis, July 24-In his
presentation speech yesterday "a the
unwilling of the Nelson memorial
monument, Governor Davidson spoke
of the life and work of Wisconsin S
first governor and eulogized his char.
acter and accomplishments. He
sketched the life of Governor Dewey
from his birth in Connecticut in 1913
his experiences as a sturdy Wisconsin
pioneer and as a member of the ter
ritorial legislative assembly and his
election as chief executive of this
state at the age of "a.
Governor Davidson dweIt upon Gov
ernor Dewey's wisdom in dealing
with some Of the problems confront
ing the state, those in regard to pub
lie education and the inequalities OF
our taxation system. HE improved
our system of town, city and country
government, said the governor, land
how we'll he succeeded may be judged
by the fact that although nearly sc
years have passed since the adoption
of our constitution, no constitutional
convention has been called to review
the work of the men who made the
organic law that constitutes us {
state"
Governor Dewey was not a man o
| transcendent intellect nor of unusua
brilIiancy," confined the speaker, "bu
he was one of those men of sturdy
and honest character who require bu
an opportunity to reveal beneath {
plain exterior a capacity for great un
dertakings. He was a man of skill
generous, humble. and little given tt
idle speech, honest, dignified, affable
and courteous to all. Patriotic anC
devoted to duty, his character has
left a lasting impression upon the
laws and institutions of this state"
Continuing, Governor Davidson
spoke Of the object of public educa
ton, viz, to teach youth the value of
moral courage, and concluded his
remarks with the formal words of
presentation
To little Grace Davidson, daughter
of the governor, fell the honor of
drawing the ribbon to unveil the
statue.

DRY of vengeance as Orchards motive
for the murder of former Governor
Steuuenberg. E. F. Richardson argued
yesterday that OIthard was employed
by the Pinkerton detective agency

the murder was part of the conspir-
acy to hang Haywood. This sudden
departure was followed by a tremen-
dOus denunciation of Captain James
Mcfarland and the Pinkertons. a pas
Sionate vituperatiOn of Orchard, Gov
enor Gooding of Idaho. Senator Bor-
ali, Governor Peabody of Colorado and
all who have acted on the side of the
prosecution.
Richardson charged the Pinkerton
agency with a plot to secure the con-
viction of Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone as a means of determination of
the western federation of miners.
Clarence barrow will commence his
argument in Haywood's behalf this
morning. 1t is estimated that he will
require two days to close for the de-
tense.

RICH ARMENIAkS
ARE MARKED BY
BLACKMi|LERS

New York, July 24-Seeking a mo-
tive for the murder of H. S. Tavshan-
jan, the Armenian rug merchant, the
district attorneys office was led to
an investigation of the report that
Tayshanjian was one of 10 wealthy
Armenians who were marked for
slaughter if they failed to give up
$4,000 each to a Matchmaking band of
their countrymen.
No color is given to this theory by
Berries HampartzOOmian, who killed
the man, when the prisoner was ar
raigned. In court he maintained stoI-
id Indifference and was remanded to
the coroner. He later declared that
he came here from Chicago for the
express purpose of killing Tavshan-
jan, but the crime was instigated by
no other person or society. From
other sources carefully protected by
the authorities came the information
that a secret society of Armenians,
originally organized for revolutionary
purposes, degenerated into an instru-
ment Tor blackmail
Mr.. Cambere, Tavshanjians secre-
TRY, visited the district attorneys of
flee and gave Assistant District Attor-
ney Smyth a list of wealthy Armen-
ians whom he said had been forced to
give blackmail to the band. Another
wel-tO-dO Armenian said.
"a priest who tried to fight the
band was murdered in Odessa. Father
Kasper Vartain, killed in this city,
was another victim

ton is responsible fo- the death OF
Tavshanjian, the Aremaia1 rug man

kiam, cOuntryman of the dead 1ncv-
chant. Bjishkiam said last nj yht that
the Chicago society was an otfshot OF
the original Hunchakist, formed IN
London in 1887. Bjishkfam said:
All the plans of the organization
were made by the Chicago leader
and in his house can be found records.
