new CLEARING HOUSE.
One for Testimony Used in Bollack
Murder Case.

The Bollack murder case, now on in
district court, promises to be the long
est drawn affair Of the term. The
court and the attorneys on both sides
are hampered by the fact that ma
jority of the witnesses are Russians.
and unable to make change for the
English language AS a result, Chas.
Bower, the court stenographer, is hav-
ing long rest between questions, and
the only person worked overtime is Pc
ter Miller, a local politician who can
speak German well enough to translate
the mixed German used by the witness
es. Miller was drafted to act as inter-
prefer, and Is q great improvement on
interpreters heretofore used In cases of
the kind. His perfect command of the
two languages permits him to make
rapid change. But, as Dick Thomas
aptly expressed the idea, everything
has to pass through the clearing house
before it is cashed, and four-ply repe-
tition of question and answer natural
~ takes up time. 1t took two hours
and 20 minutes to examine and cross
examine the first witness, John Mauer,
nephew of Andrew Mauer, the man
who was killed last July by Joseph
Bollack. The young Mauer, witness In
this case arrived in this country only
two months prior to the tragedy in
which his uncle lost his nfe- Therefore
the witness was absolutely incompet-
ent to testify, except through the me-
dunn of an interpreter.
Young Mauer was an eyewitness to
the killing of his uncle, Andrew Mauer.
1t was on Sunday, he says. and all
hands were drunk The killing OF Mauer
by Rollack was due to drunken row
over a foolish argument. This argu-
ment was over the question of whether
a friend had bought $40 worth of beer
or S. worth of beer. The witness thinks
that it was less than S. worth of beer
used on that occasion, and that his
uncle, who lost his life in the argu-
ment was right in his deductions. He
said that Joseph Bollack knocked
esschIagen,o Andrew Mauer with a
chair, and thereafter kicked and ham
mered the victim until he could not rise
from the floor of BollackS house, where
the fight occurred
This murder case is of vast interest
to the residents of Little Russia the
North side settlement, for the reason
that the son of Mauer, the murdered
man, was engaged to the daughter or
Rollack, the murderer, and the engage
ment was not cancelled on account or

ken place. Nearly every denlzen OF
Little Russia" is a partisan in the
case. and the court could not name one
of the residents of the district as in
terpreter for that reason. Peter Miller,
who understands the lingo spoken by
these people, is an ideal interpreter
and has no interest in the case. Some
times he is puzzled by an irrelevant
answer, made by witness, but fa1th-
fully translates it in full and work IS
eminentIy satisfactory to both prosecu-
ton and defense.
The case will probably occupy all the
time of the court today and tomorrow

one who read it has reasons to doubt and
that it is having good effect may be seen
from the comments of the press and even
from what may be heard from different
persons who are discussing the speech.
Governor Meade it will be remembered was
nominated four years ago by the railroads
as opposed to the Mcbride policies but
when he went into the campaign he
was not long in discovering that,
the people wanted. the things that
Mcbride had advocated, and so he
promised the people on the stump that, II
the legislature passed such measures, and
if he were elected he would not vetoe them.
He not only did not vetoe them, but find
ing that they were necessary for the good
of the state he used his power and IN
fuence as governor of the state to push
them along and succeeded beyond eXpec-
tation. The friends of Governor Mead are
now jubliant for they believe that he will
not only beat all his opponents, but will get
even more than the 40 per cent necessary
for the nomination and be nominated to
succeed himself by an overwhelming ma
jority. They say further that, the very
voters that supported Mcbride four
years ago are supporting Meade
now because he has carried out
the policies of Mcbride, while Mcbride
is now with the railroad folk and is op-
posed to the policies he represented four
years ago.

TEDDY THE TERRIBLE
William Howard Taft-The present Sc,

William Howard Taft-The present Sec
retary of war, was at the supreme
moment nominated by the Repub-
licans in convention assembled at Chi
cago for president of the United States of
America thus ending one of the fercest
political struggles that has ever prevailed
in presidential circles in the history of this
land of the free and home of the brave. "
While Taft, when he will have been elected
president of the United States as he will
surely be, may be president in fee simple,
not even taking orders or suggestions from
him in whose shoes he is SO soon to stand,
nevertheless there is no denying the fact
that, he is creature of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his nomination is but
another demonstration of the stronghold
the president has upon the rank and file of
the American people. The president has
not only had his way in all matters of ma
tiOnal legislation and government affairs in
general for the past four years, but he has
been able to dictate his successor, which,
to all intent and purpose, means four more
years of Teddy the Terrible. No president
in the history of the country has had things
as much his own way as has Mr.. Roosevelt;
no other president has had to handle such
grave and momentous questions of state as
he; and finally no other presidents four
year administration has been as free of mis-
takes as his which explains his general pop
ularity. Webelieve Mr.. Taft will give to this
country a conservative, sane and sound ad-
ministration, and while he will to a more
or less extent carry out the Roosevelt pol
icies, yet he will likewise have Taft pol
icy of his own, and his sobrquet- Taft the
Toiler, will be doubly more apparent for
the ensuing four years than for the past
four While the whole country would be
delighted beyond measure to return Roose-
welt to the White House for four years
more, yet Taft, will in our opinion, close
the first four years Of his presidency equal
ly beloved as is Theodore Roosevelt himself.
So here is for Taft and Teddy
