WASHINGTON, April 14.-Repre-
sentative w. l.. Jones is the first
member Of the Washington delega-
ton in congress to declare himself
openly and unreservedly ia favor OF
the nomination of Secretary Taft.
Mr.. Jones today made the followin g
statement:
Eyes, am in favor of the nomi-

general policies of President Roose-

welt. They want man as his sue
cessor who Will, they are satisfied, in
a general way. carry out those pol
ieies. No one of the able candidates
now in the field for the nomination
is so closely identified with those pol
icies as Mr. Taft. These candidates
are all able men, men we'll qualiiic
20 discharge the duties of the presi
dency, men of horesty and integrity
and patriotic purpose and men whose
earnestness in behalf of good govern
ment and the interests of the people
will not be questioned by any fair
thinking man. but these candidates
are not recognized by the people a.,
the men most inclined toward the
policies which the people believe are
for their best interests and which
they generally approve. Taft comes
more nearly 10 these requirements
than any of the others. His ability
and record justify this trust and con-
.fidence.
Big Man In Every Way.
He is a big man, physically,
mentally and morally. He is thor
oughly equipped IN native ability
and by experience for the presiden-
tial Office, more so than almost any
man who has been elevated to that
high position for many years. not
even excepting Mckinley. BY his ju-
dicial training, by his comprehensive
grasp of constructive craftsmanship
AS shown in the Philippines and in
Cuba-and by his work in connection
with the Panama canal and the war
department, he has shown ability Of
the highest order and has prepared
himself for any task the people may
impose. He has been tried during
the last 10 years IN most responsible
positions and has made good in all.
He not only is well grounded in the
principles of legislation and states
manship, but he knows the methods
of legislation and the trials, difficult
ties and responsibilities of the legis-
lator
SQuare-Deal Candidate.
He is conservative in action, but
OF determined purpose No legiti-
mate business need fear him. no il
legitimate business need expect any
favors from him. Honesty in public
administration and impartial enforce
ment of the laws will have his hearty
support His experience with the
worlds diplomacy will make him es-
pecially capable of handling our
foreign relations and maintain the
high plane of foreign intercourse es-
tablished by Hay and Root. His ju-
dicial training has made him careful
in forming his opinions, clear and
forceful-though conservative - in
expression. His personality is ex-
tremely pleasing.
He is a strong man in his own
right and II is no discredit 10 him
that lie is the presidents choice. nor,
because this Is so, is there any rea-
son for saying that the president is
trying to dictate the selection of his
successor He is not, but. as oiti-
zen and patriot he is anxious that
the policies he believes in. and which
the people believe in, shall be carried
out OF course. the people do not eS-
pect the presidents successor to
carry out those policies to the letter
nor in the way and manner that the
president himself would carry them
out No man expects this. Condi
lions may be different from what
they are now: unlocked for emergen-
cies may arise Furthermore. the
people do not expect the successor of

OFFICER FORMERLY
HERE REBUKED

Lieutenant Gwynne r. Hancock, Ar
tillery Corps, U. s. A., who was sta

three years, recently came in for Sc
we're rebuke from Major General
Grant The following dispatch tells of
the incident:
NEW YORK, October 3.-Captain
Gwynn r. Hancock of the Coast Ar
tillerv Corps has been found guilty.
and sentenced to be reduced thirty
five files in lineal rank for using in
toxicants to excess, which caused his
admission to the post hospital at Fort
Hamilton after he had delirium ire

the finding, Major General Grant saws:
"Under modern conditions there does
not exist in the United States a large
corporation engaged in industry, manu-.
featuring or transportation, that would
retain in its employ in a position of
trust and responsibility a man with
personal habits of intemperance such
as it is proven the accused has had.
The standard of efficiency in the Army,
instead of bein, lower, should be high
er than that required by the most per-
feetly organized corporation, and the
evil effects npon discipline of an ex-
ample of chronic alcoholism in one
selected for command are too great to
be tolerated.
For these reasons the sentence Is
believed to he inadequate, and there
fore is reluctantly approved. The de-
partment commander trusts this trial
and the resultant punishment viii con

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Policeman Held Responsible for Young
 Woman's Death.

New York, July 23.-Policeman David Shellard of Brooklyn Is under arrest, charged with the murder of Barbara Reig, young woman whose body was found yesterday in Irving Square park, Williamsburg. While Shellard confessed that he was with the girl when she was shot, he denies that he killed her, saying that she either shot herself with his re- yolver, wich had been lying on tool chest, or that the revolver exploded ae- cidentally. The dead girl remained un- identified until this morning, when it was made known that Shellard had often written to Barbara Reig. Deputy Police Commissioner Wood summoned Shelard and there Shellard broke down and ad- mitted that he had been with the young girl when she met her death. Commis- sioner Wood took the policeman's shield and club away from him and had him locked up on charge of murder.

The Deadly Sunfish.

From the Philadelphia North American
 Henry Ormond, well-known f1sher- man, came to- his end recently in one of the most peculiar accidents known to the medical or scientific world. The accident was reported to local doctor and he made an investigation.
 MT. Ormond was fishing for perch, and was seated along the edge of a lake near the roots of a large tree, which was a favorite spot for the perch. Luck had only been fair, and he was debating on the question of hauling in the line and going home, when there came powerful tug.
 He knew that he had huge fish, and struggled vigorously for 20 min utes before he landed his prize. It was a sunfish, one of the largest he had ever seen. He landed it on the bank, and then he noticed that the rays from the fish were so powerful that he was almost blinded, and the grass in the vicinity was shriveled up by heat.
 A few minutes later the man fell over. He had been sunstruck by the sunfish and was beyond hope.

Governor of Oklahoma Will Handle
 Campaign Funds.

Guthrie, Okla. July 2S.-Gov. c. H. Haskell has been rendered the treas sur ership of the natinoal democratic com mittee. Formal announcement, carry ing his acceptance it Is said. will be made when the committee meets for organization in Chicago Saturday.
 Before the national convention tho Bryan forces urged the Oklahoma executive to take the active manage ment of the campaign as committee chairman. This selection, 1t Is knowr would have been highly satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, but as the appointment would have necessitated Governor Has kell's almost continued absence from Oklahoma until the national election the place was declined after the con. vention had completed its work.
 As treasurer of the campaign, 1t wi not be necessary for him to leave the state for any length of time, which is a condition said to have been largely responsible for the governors decision. It is not Governor Haskell's present in- tention to attend the Chica go meeting. Later he intends to devote some time in making speeches and has been awaitin :. the committees pleasure before making arrangements here. He will appear in Ohio, Iowa and other central states

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 On one occasion Prof. Mommsen was going from Berlin to Charlottenburg in a street car, taking with him his little son. Before long. the boy began to wriggle about and make great deal of noise. Meanwhile the thoughts of the distinguished father had wandered afar and he was medtating profoundly.
 At last the racket made by the little fel- low disturbed Mommsen. Little boy,'' he said sharply, what is your name?' Naturally the lad was surprised, but he replied politely, "The same as yours. , This broke the schoarss train of phil osophic speculation, he remembered who he was, and the spell was broken. Ob- servers realized how thoroughly Momm- sen had been brought to himself when they saw him take the boy up and give him a shaking.
