HURTS CHANCES
Of STEVE ADAMS
Attempt to Blow Up Buckley
Wells Likely to Affect
Murder Trial.

Telluride, Colo. March 29.-As the
result of the attempt to murder Cen
eral Buckley Wells, general manager
of the Smuggler- Union mines and
mills, at Pandora yesterday morning
Sheriff Fitzpatrick is taking precau-
tons to guard the Jail in which Steve
Adams, charged with the assassina-
ton of Arthur I. Collins. General
Wells predecessor. is confined. The
feeling against Adams is becoming
more bitter from day to day. He IL
supposed to represent the element
among the miners that believes in VIC
lence against the mine owners
Return of Deported Men.
Feeling against Adams has also
been engendered. ii is said. because Of
the fact that during the past two
weeks fully a score or more of miners
and others who were deported during
the troublesome strike days have re-
turned to the district and are actively
engaged in circulating among all
classes and attempting to create SYM
pathy and sentiment for Harry Orch
ards alleged accomplice in the muir
der of Ex-Governor Steunenberg.
General Wells secured a confession
from Steve Adams in Idaho. in which
Adams implicated himself as the slav-
eT of Collins, but Adams has since re-
pudlated his confession, and for this
reason it is believed that Adams
friends may think that if Wells should
be gotten out of the way before the
case comes to trial il would be diff
cult to convict Adams.

 Messages from the provinces are be- ing censored, thus seyering the pro vinces from communication with the capital.
 It Is difficult to pass judgment IS yet, the Times correspondent adds, but un- doubtedly the popular feeling Is that what is regarded here as the inactivity of Great Britain and the activity ot Russia probably will restore the shah $ autocracJ.

Pennsylvania and Syracuse, ali of which arc in racing form and are known to have made fast time in their trials during practice. The coaches of Cornell and Wisconsin frankly ad- init that they do not regard their var slty eight as fast enough to win, and the best that either claims 10 hope for Is q place somewhere near the leading crew,
 The betting odds, which last night made Syracuse favorlte al s to 5, changed to-day, when the packers of Pennsylvania seized so eagearly upon the odds of to offered on that crew that the bookmakers marked up their quotations on the Quakers 10 the same as Syracuse. They did the same thing with Columbia after the latter had won the substitute race this afternoon. In this race. over course of mile and a half, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Co., lumbla were the only contestants. Co., lumbla won by little more than a length over Cornell, which defeated Pennsylvania about four lengths. The times for the crews were 1892, 7;36, 1850
 Columbia took the lead at the start and the boats were in the order of finish practically al the way, except that Cornell and Pennsylvania were on even terms for half mile.
 There was very light practice this evening for all the crews.

 All telegraphic and telephone wires i have been cut. The worst attack oc- cured at the custom house.
 City of Mexico, June 26-Wild stor- les concerning a formidable and seri- ous revolutionary outbreak In the northern part of Mexico were wholly discredlted to-day by telegraphic fre- ports received from Governor Carde- mas of the state of Coahuia.
 According to these telegraphic .ad- 1 vices which were received by Vice President Corral one of the boldest l bandit raids ever attempted in the 1 history of Mexico was successfully carried out when the town of Viesca was assaulted and footed yesterday
 The bandits, numbering fifty, all well armed and mounted, swooped down upon the town without warning. A feeble resistance was made by the police of the place but after three of l them were killed and three more wounded, the marauders practically l had things their own way.
 They first proceeded to the jail, releasing all of the inmates, some of whom joined the robbers. The ban dits next headed for the bank of Nueva Leon branch of the main in- stltution of that name which is locat- ed in the city of Monterey. They soon ovcrpowered the employees there and robbed the bank of all the money they could get at. The sum Is not stated in the official dispatches
 After imprisoning the municipal off, iicers and further terrifying the inhab- itants of the town, the bandits got word that troops were on the way to the scene.
 This morning the bandits left and at the town of, Matamoros de la Guna they encountered the first detachment of troops. A lively fight ensued in which one trooper was killed and sev- cral wounded The soldiers succeeded in capturing one of the bandits but the remainder made their escape.

 Strong for Taft.
Special to inc JournnI-courier.,

Hartford, June 26, Lieutenant Governor Everett J. Lake tonight put an end to the last doubt that he was q candidate for governor by issu- ing statement which will be sent to all his supporters in the state to-mor- row. In his letter Mir. Lake expresses his firm conviction that Taft should be elected president and promises his support He also calls attention to- the fact that the two lieutenant gov- ernors who have preceded him have been elected to the governorship, andl asks the support of his friends, if they find nothing in his past political ca reer for which they should withhold their support.
 Among Mir. Lakes firm political friends Is Frederick D. Whitaker, the town clerk of New Haven, and he will probably be Mir. Lakes lieutenant in that city during the coming campaign. MT. Whitaker came up here few days ago by automobile and held @ long conference with the lieutenant governor. At the conference 1t is said that MT. Whitaker again assured Mir. Lake of his support. Tonight Mr.. Lake sent the following statement toi MT. Whitaker and similar ones will b6 sent to all the legislators who wire friendly to MT. Lake In the last ,een- eral assembly:
 MT, Frederick F. Whitaker. New Ha-

 My dear sir: You are probably aware that l am candidate for the nomination for governor, but in view of the requests, suggestions and inti- nations regarding my withdrawal, I thing 1t best that I remove all possible doubt and prevent further discussion of the matter by announcing to all my friends that my name will be pre- sented to the convention for such sup port as l may receive. The assur- ances of friends in whose judgment have confidence that my nomination would not load or weaken the nation- al ticket, as l deem 1t of supreme i'm. portance that Taft be elected presi- dent, prompts this expression That coHSluerdlIoH alone- would nave 1n- duced me to withdraw my name. If you find nothing in my record as rep resentative. as senator or as lieutenant governor to convince you that should not be promoted, as the last two lieu tenant governors have been, I shall appreciate such support as you are willing to give to my candidacy.
 Yours very truly,
 EVERETT J. LAKE.
