Washington, D. c., April Slow
ever the people of the country at
large may regard the democratic fl

furnished not little amusement to
many members of both parties and
to the thousands of visitors who at
present throng the Capital City and

numerous hotels and more numer-

Just at this season Washington
always is the Mecca for high school

these excursions have been especially
frequent and extended, and every in

d Washington, D. c., April 8.-After
a debate which consumed a large

of both sides participated and in
which were many sharp passages of

that hereafter the general appropria-

and amended in committee of the
whole house should be put on its
passage under suspension of the

new YORK SENATE REFUSES
TO STOP RACE TRACK GAMBLING

Albany, N. Y, April S.-The vote of
Senator Owen Cassidy Of Schuyler, re-

least, the two Agnew-Hart bills, en-

Lieut.. Gov. Chanler, in the chair, by

Charged With Murder John
Taylor Fled to West and
Became Rich
Under New Name He Has
Lived Good Life and
Is Forgiven

Kingston, N. Y, April SIN some
western city, the name of which is
scrupulously guarded, lives promi-
nent and respected citizen from whom
the supreme court Of New York today
removed the stigma of an indictment
which was returned 26 years ago,
charging John Taylor with the death
of Thomas Murray. The present home
of Taylor and the name under which
he has since lived, married and risen
to the head of big mercantile estab-
lishment, are known to but three men
here, and the secret will be kept. Tay'
lor's identity was made known by him
to the court after a search for him
which covered two continents and took
condition. Dr. Mcdonald, however, re-
Throwing himself upon the mercy
of the prosecutor, Taylor invited in
quiry into his life for the last quarter
of a century. This was made, and il
proved so satisfactory that former Su,
preme Court Justice Clearwater, who
as district attorney obtained the in
dictment against Taylor, declared that
it would be a gross injustice to reveal
the mans new name.
Today Justice w. c. Howard of
Troy, sitting in the supreme court, dis
missed the Indictment against Taylor
after it had been shown that all pos
sible witnesses against the defendant
were dead. Justice Clearwater, who
personally investigated the case, and
present Attorney w. A. Cunningham
seconded the action of the court. Only
Justice Howard, Mr.. Clearwater and
Mr.. Cunningham have knowledge OF
the facts in the case.

HA|IIENS Want
INTERVENTION
Said They Desire to Have
Uncle Sam Take q Hand
as in Cuba

Port au Prince, April S.-There is
reason to believe that measures are
being taken in this city to force the
Intervention of the United States il
possible. At the moment apparent
tranquility prevails, but there is
good authority for the statement that
hostility against the present Haitien
government is growing more intense.
1t is rumored, and the rumor IS
general, that those who are opposed
to the present government, includ-
ing the better classes of Haitiens,
contemplate a movement which will
bring matters to crisis within a
short time. 1t is said THAT they will
take advantage of the presence in
the harbor Of United States warships
to make an armed demonstration,
not in the expectation of overthrow
ing the government, but in the hope
of precipating the landing of mar
ines and subsequently American in
tervention.

the rs they had today, they might yet

Gov. Hughes made no secret of his
disappointment over the result of the
days struggle. He would not init
mate what measures he would adopt
in the premises, but it is certain that
he regards the matter ais far from set
tied, which is made clear by the fol
lowing staetment from the executive
chamber tonight:
1T is impossible to believe that the
people will permit the plain mandate
of the constitution to be ignored. The
contest has not ended. 1t is only be-
gun, and it will continue until the will
of the people has been obeyed."

so dramatic and intense that people

Remarkable Growth Of TEN.
pefdnce Sentiment Is
Shown in State
Chicago Is Not Included in
New Law But Soon
viii Be

Chicago, April S.-Thirty-six
counties out of the 102 in the state
are intirely dry and nineteen others
are anti-saloon with the exception Of
one township in EACH Twenty-seven
partially "dry'' counties voted on the
question yesterday and decided to
abolish saloons.
According to the latest returns 886
townships cast their votes against
the saloon and "a voted in favor of
retaining them. The total number
of "dry" townships in the state, in
Guiding those which held an election
last November, is 1,028 and the total
number of "wet" townships is 323.
The most reliable estimate of the
number of saloons which will be put
out of business is LOO. The anti
saloon majorities cast in the entire
territory voting is $4,000.
In all "a counties which held cleo
tions yesterday, and that territory
contains in the neighborhood of 81
900 saloons, the election will drive
over one-third out of business.
The city of Chicago did not vote
on local option, but it is probable
the next legislature will open that
city to vote on the question.

La Toilette
HAS WISCONSIN
Taft Possibly May Have q
Couple Of Delegates
From State

Milwaukee, Wis, April 8.-Dele-
gates from Wisconsin who will sup
port LaFollette's presidential nom
ination at the republican national
convention we're elected at the state
primary election by large majority
over slate put up by supporters of
Taft. While the returns from vari-
GUS districts are far from being COM
plete, enough have been received to
insure the election of LaFollette
delegates, from nine out of eleven
districts.
The Districts which have not def
nitely reported are the Eighth and
Tenth. In the Eighth one regular
and one independent set of LaFol-
lette and one regular set of Taft men
were in contest and the returns re-
ceived from this district indicate
that one LaFollette and one Taft
delegate will be put forward. In the
Tenth district returns so far as re-
ceived, are favorable to the election
of Taft delegates.
The official count will be necessary
to determine this in the Tenth as
both factions claim it.
Democratic candidates for dele
gates to the democratic national
convention, who we're selected in a
convention Of the party held in this
city in February, were elected with
out opposition. All are pledged to
vote for Bryan, first, last, and all
the time.

SANTA FE ROAD
gave REBATES
Traffic Manager Of Road
Admits They Paid Oil
Co. $4,000

Los Angeles, Cal, April S.-That the
Santa Fe railway company gave re-
bates amounting to almost $4,000 to
the Associated Oil company last sum-
mer on freight paid for shipments Of
oil in 1905, was admitted today by
Edward Chambers, assistant freight
traffic manager of the road, in a hear
ing before the state railroad commits
sion.
This is the refund referred to in a
message by President Roosevelt to
congress last January, in which the
president quoted portion of Mr.
Chambers letter authorizing the re-
fund.
On June 10, 1907, refund of $50
751 was made to the Associated Oil
company in addition to 1929 that had
been previously paid back to the COM
pany. This was on all shipments from
the Bakersfield district to San Fran
cisco bay points between January l
and November Is, 1906
During that time the Associated Oil
company had a rate of 25 cents bar
rel on fuel oil from Bakersfield to San
Francisco, when the published rate
was 37.s cents. General Manager Por-
ter of the Associated Oil company de-
sired the rate kept secret, but this
President Ripley refused to allow, ac-
cording to Mr., Chambers, and it was
finally abolished.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Columns have been
written about men who would steal
red hot stoves. Thieves who would loot
a church kaye won deserved place in
detective literature. Some even have
earned the reputation of being capable
of robbing hearst and chasing the
driver. But this is a story of the arch
thief of them all.
This is the tale of man who robbed
the Cook county Jail. His name is
withheld by Assistant Jailer Sweenie,
who hopes to- have him again in the
tolls before long.
Because this thief had temerity to
rob the Jail, George Caps, still pris-
oner in the county bastile, may have to
face trial on the lareency charge draped
in his underclothes. For the thief's
booty was Capps only suit of clothes.
George is not particularly anxious
to stand trial in any garb, but as he
realizes the necessity of his appearance
in court he has beseeehed the auth
critics to capture his former eellmate
and recover his regular suit garb.
