Their Managers Will Attend No More Ma
tiOndl Committee Meetings
Believing Their Contests Are Frejuaged in Favor of
Taft They Will Go Directly Before the National Re-
publ an Convention.

Chicago, June 6.-No more evidence
in the contested cases will be put be-
fore the republican national committee
by the allied candidates, according to
a decision reached tonight in a con-
ference between the managers repre-
senting the interests of Senator Knox,
vicepresident Fairbanks and Gov.
Hughes. The managers Of Speaker
Cannon did not participate.
Convinced that the national commit
tee as at present constituted has pre-
judged all the contest in favor of Taft,
and that all the delegations instructed
to vote for him will be seated by the
committee, the managers of the three
candidates named decided upon a rad
ical course. They talked the matter
over informally and then called

expect also to have several sessions
tomorrow and may out a definite pro-
gram When that has been done, they

public, setting forth the reasons for
refusing to continue the cases before
the court of first instance, for such is

In reaching a decision tonight the
gentlemen Of the conference came to
the conclusion that if they concluded
present their claims to the national
committee and received nothing but a
succession Of defeats on which to ap-
peal to the credentials committee of
the convention they would receive a
black eye" form that body and prob
ably from the committee which is the
court Of last resort. They admitted
that if they decline to present evidence
to the national committee they may
have poor case to present to the su-
perior court. The determination to
take the steps outlined. therefore. was
not hasty action, and the conferees
stated that they realized full well
what the step means.

been selected as the man best fitted
to conduct the appeal to the national
convention, which explains mis- pres

There is nothing left now of all The
election indictments except the one
against Chairman Frank De Souza ot
the Democratic city central committee
and that will probably be disposed OF
tomorrow. The fate of the others
against Griggs Carr and Fred Gardi-
ner came about very swiftly yesterday
afternoon. Almost in the twinlding OF
an eye the move for the publication
in politics vanished in smoke.
There remained one Indictment
against Carr on which no action had
yet been taken and he was called to
trial on that. A jury was impaneled
without great difficulty and the evil
dence was begun. 1t had not proceed
ed very far before il was plain that
the end was almost at hand. The first
witness was r. Martinez who said he
had received 81 from the defendant
not for work at the polls, but for the
legation of republican voters the day
before the fourth ward election that
they might easily be found by the cap
tain of the ward who would send out
men in, carriages after them. That
is it appeared that Martinez had been
tullilDF Gu u Sldht ouN llte NoLti -
which is d widely different thing from
influencing them. on this point the
testimony of the witness was much
more favorable to the defendant than
any of the evidence at the former trial
had been. The district attorney stat
ed that the story told by Martinez to
the grand jury was a different one
There nothing was said about locating
voters at a distance" The witness
had plainly said that he had been paid
for getting the voters out. The wit
ness did not think that that was what
he had said: at any rate that was not
what he meant.
The testimony of Eduardo Aguillar
and Ramon Villa who had been on the
stand at the previous trial of the de-
fendant was the same as before nor
could it be shaken by the efforts Of
the district attorney to bring out a
more damaging coloring.
After they had testified, District At
torney Bullard called Assistant Dis
trict Lyman to the stand. Mr.. Lyman
was asked about the evidence of Mar
tinez before the grand jury. Mr. Ly-
man after an objection by the defense
had been overruled stated that Mar
tinez had sworn that he had been en-
ployed to get out voters for the re-
publican ticket. Nothing was said
by him at that time about locating
voters or bringing in voters from a
distance"
The court at the suggestion Of Cap
tain Christy for the defense instructed
the jury that anything that Martinez
might have said before the grand jury
in the absence of the defendant could
not be accepted az evidence against
him but could only go to the impeach-
ing of the witness. 1t was immaterial
to the defense Ow much he was i'm
peached. or if all the witnesses were
impeached.
The district attorney replied that he

fflad not put the assistant attorney on
the stand for the strengthening of the
case against the defendant or for the
| impeaching of the witness but to show
to the court and to the public that
the indictment had actually been
brought on some evidence which at
the time seemed reliable. Later events
might tend to cast some doubt on that
point. ]
United States Attorney Alexander
then moved that the court direct the
jury to acquit on the ground that there
was not the slightest evidence before
it that the defendant was guilty of the
offense charged in the indictmept. Dis
trict Attorney Bullard confessed the
motion" and repeated that the wit
nesses had essentially changed their
stories. Sometime between their ap-
pearance before the grand jury and the
present they had learned about that
clause in the statutes, relating 10 aged
and infirm voters and voters from
a distance" Here, he said, every wit
ness spoke of these distant voters with
a glibness which was surprising. He
would not attempt to say who had

the office of the district attorney had
been fooled with.
Captain Alexander, always alert to
help those in distress, volunteered,
Canning fooled you
Mr. Billiard, who is usually insensi-
BILE to the taunts of the opposition and
cool and pleasant under trying cir
cumstances was not in a humor to be
trifIed with or to endure airy persi-
flage. He turned to Mr.. Alexander
and said: Il want none Of your sug-
gestions. You have a capacity of be
,ing insulting at all times and under all
circumstances"
The captain replied that he had only
wanted to be helpful
The jury was directed and then the
court remarked that there was still an
other indictment against Mr.. Carr. the
one under which the mistrial had been
brought He suggested that that
might as well be dismissed for it was
wholly unlikely that a verdict could
be secured. The district attorney
agreed and the defendant was wholly
discharged and his bond eXonerated-
Then the matter of the Indictment
against Fred Gardiner was brought up
by the defense. That went out the
same way and the bond of Gardiner
was eXonerated.
Captain Alexander finally moved
that the case against Frank De SOuza
which had been set for Monday be also
dismissed. The court replied that he
was not familiar with that case and
the district attorney objecting to i'm
mediate dismissal of it,st was allowed
to go over to Monday

A Bath a Month.

Apparently the people Of Persia are
not great believers in the old maxim
Cleanliness is next to gOdliness," for
baths are only taken once q month by
the people, when they go to the public
baths and makes amends, so to speak,
for the infrequency of their additions
by spending a whole day getting clean
ed and trimmed. At the baths they
are washed, shaved, dye their hair and
nails, get shampoOed and spend the
rest Of the day eating buns and drink
ing sherbert. There are fixed days for
men and women, and on bath days a
man goes about the streets shouting
"Hamum!" ('Bath day!"). After the
bath the ladies have their hair plated
In a number Of thin plaits, which are
not opened and combed out until the
next bath day comes round.

Electricity may become one ol tno
farmers most helpful servants. That
is the suggestion gained from a recent
consular report. The American consul
at Hanover discusses the subject In
connection with a report of an address
before the Prussian Agricultural so
ciety by q former minister of agricul-
ture of Germany. 1t has much inter-
est not alone to the farmer but also TO
the owners of power plants and the
makers of electrical machinery. Elec-
tricity is increasingly available because
Of the establishment In so many places
of plants for lighting and power pur-
poses. Where the former is the main
consideration the machinery is not used
much during the day. Operators would
gladly welcome q development that
would open a market for the electricity
easily generated in the time Of present
idleness Of machinery. The current
NAV be. carried a long distance and,
with good demand, should not be at
prohibitive prices. On large farms an
individual plant might be economical.
The securing Of the electricity. being
assumed, its uses about the farm may
be many There is good deal of pow
er machinery used by the farmer.
There are tanning mills, corn shelters
and similar machines in the barn.
There are thrashing machines, clover
hullers and other larger machines used
on occasion. There are devices for I'M
loading hay. A good sized list might
be made to show the various places
where an electric motor might be en-
ployed to advantage. There are some
difficulties connected with the manage
ment Of electric plOws, reapers, and
other implements used in the fields.
Electricity will not be utilized there
so soon as about the barn and the
house. But the experiments are hope
full which have been made in the fields
at a distance from the barn. Where
the motor is attached directly to the
machine, as is possible in q thrashing
machine, for example, the difficulties
are minimized. The introduction of la
Dor saving machinery revolutionized
farm industry. 1t is a possibility of
the near future that electricity may
still further increase the farmers in
dependence Already in many places
he enjoys the use of the telephone and
perhaps sees the trolley line in front of
his house, giving him ready access to
the neighboring town or city. He may
have his home lighted by electricity.
These advices from Germany indicate
still larger possibilities. They come not
from dreamers or theorists, but from
practical observation of actual accom-
plishments. Electricity may yet become
the most common, convenient, and eco
nCmical servant the farmer can find.

E. ARDEN IN REAL LIFE.
PrOdigaI Husband Plans Surprise,
but 1t Didn't W0rk.


but 1t Didn't W0rk.
Trash are the story books. Their
cleverly conceived plots do not work
out in real life. At least David Elm
stein, hero of the real life brand,
says so.
Ten years ago he quarreled with his
wife, and, just as in the story books,
he said to her:
Il am going now, and 1 am going
for ten years. You will be sorry"
He went, and the strange part of it
was he remained away.
Mrs. Einstein was left without much
means and with four children to take
care of, but as breadwinner she
proved very successful. She owns q
grocery store at 39th street and Vim
cennes avenue, and the children are all
large, and some Of them are working.
At the end of year letter came.
1t was from Einstein, q cruelty cold
letter that said he was we'll and in
San Francisco.
The following year he was in Skag-
uay, Alaska. Each year he wrote from
a different place.
Like Enoch Arden, he appeared In
the vicinity of his wife's grocery store
and accosted Park Policeman Vail.
do you know Mrs. Einstein?" he
asked
Yes, 1 live right near here" said
Vail. That's her store over there.
do you know her husband" asked
the stranger
II never knew him. said the officer.
II believe he has been dead for a mum
Der Of years."
''Then I am dead one, am ~ said
the newcomer. ''Well, the ten years
are up tomorrow, and there will be q
surprise party at Mrs. Einstein's."
The long-awaited anniversary came
The returned husband, dressed in his
best, appeared suddenly in the pres
ence of the grocery owner.
"After all these years" he be
gan.
"IIow many years." interrupted lis
wife.
! He found it impossible to deliver his
prepared speech, but there was some
thing said-it is not known just what
and Einstein went back into the
street.
"Well, how did you come out?" ask
ed Policeman Vail.
ooh, she is too exacting," said Elm
stein. Il don't know how things viii
be yet. 1 don't believe in those story
looks, anyhow Chicago Journal.

Moose Are Exceedingly Fond of
These Pretty Flowers.
At first thought it would appear i'm
possible that such large, gaunt denizens
of the forest as moose could in any way
be interested in flowers. They are,
however, exceedingly fond Of all kinds
of water lilies. Few people know that
these flowers grow from thick snake
like root stocks which are so firmly
attached to the bottom that the strong
est man cannot loosen them. 1t is
from these firmly moored root stocks
that the much admired leaves and
flowers strive toward the light.
a well known naturalist who studied
the habits of the animals I'm northern
Minnesota, where moose are more nu-
merous than In any other part Of the
world, often found two or three big
bulls engaged in gathering their morn
ing meal on the lake bottom. The
great beasts would slowly stalk about
I'm three or four feet of water, and
often their heads would be under water
for half a minute at q time, so that
their backs would look like powders
just protrudlng from the staream then
q pair of magnificent antlers would
come up, and the water would be
shaken out of the big ears with flap
ping noise that could be heard for a
quarter of a mile, and then the big,
long muzzle would be lelsurely chewing
a dripping mouthful Of water lily
leaves and other plants gathered from
the bottom.
So intent were the huge animals on
gathering flowers that several times
the naturalist could row up close enough
to secure a good photograph before
they splashed noisily back to the shore
and disappeared In the black spruce.
When the moose find a good lily pond
they continue feeding in 1t until the
plants are almost exterminated.-Min

A Freak OF Lightning.

A curious case Of lightning destruc-
ton took place some years ago at Cat
china, an imperial summer residence
not far from st. Petersburg, where
stood stone column fifty feet high,
held together by iron angles. When
rain fell more or less water penetrated
the stones in the interior of the monu-
ment. One day it was struck by light
ming, and instantly the column disap-
peared from view, killing a lone SEN
try on guard. The only explanation is
that the heat of the lightning instant
ly generated steam on coming in con
tact with some of the water and the
terrific explosion followed.
