PLOT TO DESTROY
YANKEE WARSH|PS
BRAZILIAN POLICE UNEARTH A
WIoEsPREAP CONSPIRACY.
HATcHED BY ANARCHISTS.
Police Claim to Be on the Trail Of
Leader Of the Conspiracy and
Say They viii Arrest
Him Soon.

Rio Janeiro, Brazil. - The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchistic
plot here having as its object the de-
struction of part of the American
feet now lying in the harbor. The
conspiracy, while centering in Rio ia
neiro and Petropolis, has ramifica-
tions in Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes-
An individual named Jean Fedher, who
resided in Petropolis, was the chief
conspirator here, although 1t is un-
derstood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot. Fedher
is believed to have fled to Sac Paulo
and the police, who know him, have
been sent to that place for the pur.
pose of apprehending him.
One of the detectives, who was well
acquainted with Fedher, having served
on the police force at Petropolis for
some time, returned from that place
Sunday after having made inYestiga-
tions there and had long conference
with the chief of police of Rio ia
neiTo The latter gave it to be un-
derstood later that the Sac Paulo po-
lice are on the track of the arch-con-
spirator and expect to arrest him.
In an official note which the chief of
police sent to the correspondent Of
the Associated Press he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American feet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilian government received from
Washington and Paris advices that an
archists of different nationalities in
tended to damage one or several of
the ships of the American fleet. The
names and addresses of the conspira-
tors were indicated by information
which the police here had received
previously from France and Germany.
The police of this district are work
ing with the police of Sac Paulo and
AIinas Geraes and / am sure every
precaution will be exercised and the
most rigorous vigilance observed,
both on land and at sea, to prevent
any injury being done"

is ACCUSED OF A BIG swINoLE.
Case of Lemoine, Alleged Diamond
Maker, Attracts the Attention
Of Europe.

Paris, France. = The ramificatious
of the case of Lemoine, "the diamond
maker" whom Sir julius Wernher, of
the De Beers Mining Co., is prosecut-
ing for swindling him out of 1920, 900,
is attracting much attention, not only
in France but in England and through
out Europe.
The case in one particular bears a
resemblance to all the recent great
swindles. namely, its solution depends
upon a secret beyond the reach OF in
vestigators.
Lemoines formula for the manufac-
ture of diamonds is securely locked
up in bank in London, the officials
of which, upon Lemoine's demand, re-
fuse to deliver 1t to the French court,
which desires to make a trial of its
efficacy in the presence of experts,
who are now examining specimens of
diamonds Lemoine claims to have
manufactured.
Meanwhile Lemoine, who, q few
years ago, was a canvasser for an ad-
vertising firm, but who since he be-
gan his present operations has lived
luXuriously in a magnificent house
here, languishes in jail, Offering If re-
leased to repeat his experiments and
prove the legitimacy of his invention.

FORAKER ADMITS DEFEAT.
He Says Taft Will Have ohio's Dele,
gates at Large, but Will Try to
Secure District Delegates.

Cincinnati, O.-To fight for the
district delegates to the national
convention from Ohio's 81 congress
sional districts and to allow Sec
retary Taft to have the four dele
gates at large without contest is the
plan of campaign suggested in an in
terview Monday by Senator Foraker,
who arrived home from Washington
He maintains that the call for the
state convention is illegal and that
therefore he will not take part in the
selection of its delegates. After de-
claring that there had been no over
lures of peace" either to or by him.
he said:
so far as the state convention is
concerned, l have not changed my
opinion that the call for it is illegal
and unjustly burdensome. On that ac
count, as / have heretofore announced
/ shall not make any effort to comply
with its terms.
"Of course the delegates selected
to the state convention will all be
for Taft, for there will be no opposi
ton. This does not apply, however
to the congressional districts. They
are not under the control of the state
central committee and are not bound
by anything the state convention may
do. Each district will elect it's own
delegates in its own way. What the
districts may do remains to be SEEN"

THE THAW TRIAL.

Both Evelyn Thaw, the wife, and
Mrs. William Thaw. the mother oil
the defendant, were on the witness
stand, and just as the former was
about to relate anew the story of her
life, as she told 1t to Thaw in Paris
in 1908, District Attorney Jerome
arose and suggested that in the inter-
est of public morals all persons save
those Immediately interested in the
case should be excluded from the
courtroom during the recital of what
he termed "a horrible tale" The de-
fense agreed and Justice Dowling ad-
journed court for two days. when, he
said, he would decide the matter.
Harry Thaw's mother arrived in
New York to testify in his defense.
More evidence as to his irrational ac-
tions was presented.
After the state tiad presented its
direct case against Thaw, and Assist
ant Attorney Garvin had characterized
the killing of Stanford White as pre-
meditated, deliberate and cowardly
murder" Martin w. kittleton, for the
defense, made the opening plea for the
prisoner. He promised new evidence
to prove that Thaw had been insane
from his boyhood.
The two pric opal witnesses in the
Thaw trial were Prof. Charles H.
Koehler of Winona, Mimi, who acted
as instructor to Thaw in the Wooster
CO., university in 1886, and Mrs. Amy
Crosettc of San Maeto, Cal, who at
tended Thaw as trained nurse at
Monte Carlo in 1897. They both told
of the young mans eccentricities and
declared that his manner always was
irrational.
Some of Thaw's alleged eccentrici-
ties, revealed for the first time, were
related at his trial by Christopher
Baggan, steward of the New YORK
Whist club; by Miss Matilda Stein, a
telephone operator, and by Per August
Weber, a former butler in the Thaw
household.

A Big DECREASE IN TRAFFIC.
OVER THE PANAMA RAILROAD
FROM WEST TO EAST.
Report Of Special Agent Of the Gov
ernment Reveals a Remarkable
State Of Affairs that Stead
lily Grows Worse.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Taft
on Monday transmitted to the senate
committee on interoceanic canals the
report of ]. l.. Bristow, who was sent
by the war department to investigate
the relations existing between the Pan
anna Railroad Co. and the steamship
lines operating on the Pacific coast,
with view to ascertaining whether
the government ought to engage In
the steamship business on the Pacific
coast In order to preserve the business
of the Panama route and furnish traf-
fic for the government steamers plying
on the North Atlantic side.
The report contains interesting data
gathered by Mr.. Bristow and recon-
mendations which may give the canal
commission some important legislative
points to consider in connection with
the building of the canal. 1t is shown
that the government is facing q rather
serious condition of affairs, in that the
traffic over the Panama railroad from
west to east is dwindling at a rate
which will practically mean the ex-
unction of trade between San Francis
CO and New York by steamer route by
the time the canal is built.
The business at the Pacific terminal
of the railroad has been reduced one
half since the government took charge.
Last year but $4,000 tons OF freight
were transported over the railroad
from Panama to Colon. At the pres
ent time most of the steamers operat-
ed by the government on the Atlantic
are compelled to return north in ball
last.
The traffic depression is mainly due
to the action OF the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Co., which has been refused an
exclusive contract with the Panama
railroad. A contract formerly existed
by which through bills were issued to
the Pacific Mail Co.. but as this was
an exclusive contract the secretary of
war deemed it proper to cancel 1t.
The steamship company advised the
government that they would be willing
to improve the service on the Pacific
coast and put on new steamers if the
government would give them the en-
elusive right to shut out some foreign
ships of certain lines north from Pan
anna. The secretary of war did not
feel justified in doing this and the re.
sult has been a general falling off
H eastbound business from the Pacific
coast states to New York by the Pan.

HE MADE SOME MONEY.
How Champ Clark Earned Enough 60
Leave Kansas Town.

Few people know that Champ Clark,
the celebrated congressman from Mis-
souri,, and also known as a lecturer,
once practiced law, or tried to do so,
in Wichita, Kan. But he did, accord
ing to a Wichita letter In the Topeka
Capital. In 1875 Champ Clark opened
an Office where the Pacific Express
company now is located. There was
not great deal of business for young
attorneys at that time, and Champ
Clark did the best he could to make
a living, but he became discouraged.
and, in time, left the state and re-
turned to Missouri, where he was
afterward elected to congress. He
met Kos Harris on the street ono
day and told him that he intended to
stay in Wichita until he had made
some money, no matter how much or
how 1t was made. Several days later
he was seen on the streets and he had
a beautiful bronze on his hands and
face. 1t was the dark brown color
that tells of honest toll in the corn
field.
Where did you get that colorT
asked one of his friends.
81 got it from cutting corn UP in the
country" was the reply.
Get anything else?" asked tho
friend, who looked at the then at
tenuated form of the since fleshy and
prominent lecturer.
Sure" replied Clark. 81 got this
dollar for the days work. And want
to tell you I am going to leave this
town. l said would not leave until
l had made some money, and now that
have made it l am ready to leave"
He left.

CHARLES EMORY SMITH DIES.
Well Known Editor and Politician
Passed Away Suddenly.

Philadelphia, Pa Charles En-
ory Smith, editor of the Press, for
mer minister to Russia and postmas-
ter general, died suddenly at his home
in this city Sunday, aged 65 years.
Death was caused by heart trouble.
Mr. Smith was born in Mansfield,
Conn, on February IL, 1912 He re-
ceived his early education at Albany,
N Y, academy, and subsequently
graduated from Union college. Dur
ing the period when troops were be-
ing organized in Albany in 1861, Mr..
Smith was appointed military secre-
tary by Gen. John F. Rathbone Later
he was made judge advocate general
with the rank of general. Subse-
Quently he was attached to the Office
of adjutant general of the state OF
New York until Horatio Seymour be-
came governor. He resigned and for
a time was a teacher in the Albany
academy, a place which he left to ac-
cept an editorial position on the AL
bany Express.
In 1870 Mr.. Smith went to the AL
bany Journal, of which publication he
later became editor in chief In 1880
he was given the post of editor of the
Press. AS the result of his services
rendered to various administrations
through his editorial and political Ia
bors he was appointed minister to
Russia in 1890.

through part of President Roosevelt's
administration, retiring in 1901

IMPORTANCE OF BEING FORTY.
Middle Age Said to Be the Right
Time for Marriage.

At present. though a man is too old
for many things at forty, it is not gen.
orally held that he is too old to marry
Far from that being the case, the in
creasing standard of comfort of the
white races and the increased cost of
living are steadily putting forward the
marrying age.
A paper read by DR.. Louise Robino-
witch at the congress of psychiatry at
Amsterdam suggests another reason
for comparatively late marriages.
From a study of "A biographies of emf
nent men, writer's, painters, musicians
and soldiers, she found that more than
so per cent. of them were born OF
middle-aged parents. Napoleon. Ben
jamin Franklin. Coleridge, Balzac,
Rembrandt, Rubens, Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds, Wagner, Schumann and Schu-
bert were all the youngest children OF
large families, and their parents were
at least middle-aged when the genius
of the family was born.
This may not be precise argument
in favor of late marriages, but it may
encourage the hope in bachelors who
have reached middle age without do
ing anything famous themselves that
matrimony may recompense them for
their own failure.
