ROOSEVELT FOR PLATT's SEAT.
Washington Reports Say He May En-
ter Senate If Taft Wins.


Chicago, Oct. EFF Secretary OF
type be elected president next fall
President Roosevelt may under certain
conditions go before the New York leg
islature in 1909 as a candidate to sue
ceed Thomas c. Platt in the United
States senate, with the idea Of leading
! the support of administration policies
in the upper branch Of congress.
This exceedingly interesting informa-
ton has come to close friends of the
president since the latter's return from
his western and southern trip, says a
Washington dispatch to the Recerd-
Herald
II Secretary Taft or somebody of the
recognized type be not elected, Presi-
dent Roosevelt will under no circum-
4 stances seek a seat in the senate for
the reason that he would not be in a
position to give hearty support to the
administration and at the same time
would feel the impropriety of taking an
official part in criticizing his immedi-
ate successor in the White House, the
dispatch adds:
At this time it is understood Presi-
dent Roosevelt believes that Secretary
Taft, representing the progressive
cause, has the best command of the sit
uation pertaining to the presidential
nomination next summer, and in dis
cussing his own plans for the future
the president is said to have connected
the possibilities and eventualities
thereof with the hope that Taft would
be elected. What the certain condi-
tions" would be under which Mr..
Roosevelt would feel inclined to run
for the senate cannot be stated at this
time.

Special to Times Republican.
the case Of George Mackown, charged
with the burning Of Webster City's
magnificent 100000 felt shoe factory
on June is, 1903, returned verdict Of
| guilty as charged before noon today.
They had been out since last evening
at $40. A motion for an arrest Of
judgment and a new trial will be sub-
mitted. II overruled sentence will be
pronounced at once. The offense is
punishable by confinement in the pen
ltent1ary for from one to ten years.
The verdict created big sensation
here and the prisoner was stunned
when the clerk read the finding Of the
jury.
The case was given to the jury at
$40 yesterday. Judge Lees instruc-
tions consisted of sixteen charges ana
in the main were not different from
those usually given in cases depending
upon circumstantial evidence
Instruction No. IL, however, did
charge them that if they found Mac
kown was not present at the factory
building at the hour when the fire is
supposed to have been started, then
they couldSnot find him guilty
Th.- is to say that if the defense's
alibi is held good, a verdict of not
guilty must be found
On the other hand, they were also
told that the motive of embezzlement
should be given consideration as the
flight of the prisoner from the city
soon after the fire.
The defense was displeased over this
instruction as the defendant fled the
city prior to the finding of the indict.s
ment, and SO far as the records OF the D
case are concerned no actual fight has
been proven.
Mackown's alibi seemed conclusive,
having been proven by chain Of
evidence from six witnesses, including
Mackown. In his closing argument,
however, Attorney Boeye attacked the
credibility of one witness which would
take ones time from the alibi-suffi-
ctent time to have set the factory on
fire.
Mr.. Boeye stated that Miss Leah
Bair recited the story of her ride with
Mackown as one hour earlier when she
told it to him in his office than she
did when she fixed the time upon the
witness stand.
With this disputed point left out.
however, the defense has accounted by !
two other credible witnesses for all OF
Mackown's time the evening of the fire
but a half hour.
On the whole, it is considered that
the instructions of Judge Lee were
favorable to Mackown.

CARNEGIE CHEERFUL
Takes Most Optimistic View Of tho
Financial Situation, Upon Return
From Europe Surprise That Fall
is So Small.

! New York, Oct. 20.-Andrew Carne-
gle, upon his return from Europe to-
day after his long vacation abroad. ex-
pressed himself in the most optimistic
way concerning the financial situation
!. 81 was delighted to read the good
news this morning." he said. II am
surprised that the fall in stocks could
be so small This proves that the sit
uation is not alarming, and that the
country is alright. Investors have only
to hold on. The financial authorities
have acted boldly, but wisely, and the
furry will soon blow over. 1t is quite
right that the savings banks should
require notice.
1T should not be forgotten, how
ever, that we have had the greatest
expansion of modern time, and Sure
as fate, a reaction must come, hay al
ready begun, but it will be healthful.
We may have a season OF less activity
in trade, but that will be followed in
due time by another period of expan-
sion. Nothing can prevent the rapid
progress of the republic Speculation
will be less to the front for time, but
genuine business will not suffer seri-
ously.
TT lies in the nature of things to at
tempt to attribute the recent spasmod-
ic fall in prices to the wise and in the
truest sense, truly conservative resolve
of the president and his cabinet to en-
force the salutary laws against the
abuse Of their powers by certain trusts
but it is only device to serve political
intrigue"

Supreme Court to Pass On MinneSo.
tan's Case Monday.
washington, Oct. 25.-It is probable
that the United States supreme court
will say next Monday what it's inten-
tions are with reference to the case OF
Attorney General E. T. Young of Min
nesota- This is the outcome of the
railroad rate injunction cases before
Judge Lochren in which Attorney Cen
eral Young chose to disobey the courts
Injunction in order to be fined for con-
tempt, and SO test the right Of the
court to enjoin the states legal de-
partment.
T. D. O'Brien and Assistant Attor-
ney General George T. Simpson expect
to appear Friday at noon with their
application on behalf of Mr. Young, for
& Of habeas corpus. The court will re-
ceive papers and is expected to con-
slider them on Saturday when no ses-
sion of the court is held, the day be-
ing devoted to consultation by the jus
tices. On Monday, therefore, the court
will probably say whether counsel may
file its petition. If the application is
granted, counsel will file a petition
and the court will issue writ calling
on Marshal W. H. Grimshaw to show
cause why Attorney General Young
should not be released from imprison-
ment.
Mr.. O'Brien believes that the court
will grant the application for permis-
sion to file the petition and that the
case will then take its regular course.
1t is probable that some of the assist
ants Of the United States Attorney
General Bonaparte will represent Mar
shal Grimshaw in these proceedings.
