THE WANING OF FREE TRADE.

The recent by-election in the Pudsey division
of Yorkshire cid not figure in the news as con-
spicuousy as did some former contests in which
Cabinet ministers were candidates or in which
there were special elements Of sensation. It
nevertheless deserves passing attention partly
because of the Overwhelming character of the
Unionist victory and partly because of its indi
cation of the steady progress of the reaction
against the government and of the movement
toward tariff reform which has been a marked
feature Of British politics for the last two years.
Mr. Asouith truly said not long ago that while
little was heard Of tariff reform in Parliament
a great deal was being heard Of it at the hust-
inrs II would doubtless be idle for the Union
ist minority to seek to convert the Liberal
ioritv AT Westminster TO tariff reform. but IL
evidently is not idle 10 attempt conversion Of
the constituencies.
The election at Pudsey turned directly, and
we might say exclusively on the tariff question.
The Unionist candidate pressed that issue in
every address, and his Liberal opponent did not
dodge II though the old age pensions measure
now pendinp was much exploited A proof OF
the governments regard for the masses. The
outcome OF the polling was one OF the most
sweep'ne JTnionist victories since the last gen
eraI election AT the general election in 1905
the Liberal candidate received 7,043 and the
Unionist 354l votes. the Liberal majority being
3y5O2 At this by-election the Liberal candidate
received only 5.32I votes, while the Unionist re-
ceived 5444 and a Socialist got 1,29i. Thus
the Unionist was elected by 1l3 plurality. The
change IN votes amounted 10 3615, or more than
onefourth OF the entire poll. The Unionist
vote increased by 1903, and the Liberal vote de-
creased by LIP

HASKELL SUIT NOT VALID
Petition Could BE Made So, However,
by Attaching AmdRvit, as
Law RsQuires.

That the 100000 libel suit petition filed
by Governor Charles n. Haskell of Okla
homa against William r. Hearst is not a
valid petition ard will have to be amended
before the suit can be heard In court is the
opinion Of attorneys who have examined
the document.
The petition is deficient in that It is not
verified by the affidavit of Mr.. Haskell or
his attorneys. While this was evidently
an oversight on the part of the lawyers, It
is not considered fatal by attorneys be-
cause it has been customary for the court
to allow the verification TO be added at
any time before the trial of the case.
TIL statutes relating to suits at law
provide that all petitions must be verified
ly an affidavit, either of the plaintiff or
the attorney, stating that the facts set
forth in the petition are true. There Is no
such affidavit attached to the Haskell Pc
tition. The attorneys merely signed on the
blank space under the prayer, not even 4
blank form for an affidavit being attached
TO the document.
As the petition stands now. neither Has
kell or his attorneys nave taken an oath
that Haskell has been llbeled by the New
York editor. The document merely says
ne has and let's it go at that.
1t is not believed, however, the omission

NO CLUE TO MURDER MYSTERY
Victim Supposed to Have Come to
ReRIster for Lands.

VALENTINE, Neb., Oct. ~2O.-(special)-
The mystery surrounding the man who
was found murdered and thrown in the
Niobrara river about three miles east of
here still remains without a clue to give
the officers a chance to work on, although
Sheriff RCsseter is doing all in his power
TO find a clue or some evidence by which
he will be able to trace and find the MUIR
derers and also find out who the victim is.
He was hit between the eyes with some
thing that while it did not break the skin
crushed the mans skull like It was an egg
shell and he must have died instantly from
the blow and then after robbing the body
they disposed Of IT by THROWN II in the
river, which is very shallow at this place
and filled with sandbars, and the body
quite evidently did not float far before
lodging where It was found. 1t Is thought
that he was some young fellow who came
here to register and foolishly let it be
found out that he had some money with
him and some thugs laid him out for It.
The inquest was held at 10 o'clock this
morning and the verdict was that the
death was felonious.

day yesterday and until nearly dark, over
100 persons attended the republican speak
ing last night in the opera house by Labor

who discussed the political issues OF the
day from a republican standpoint in an
able and convincing manner. A number of
women were present and although the
heavy rains left the roads In an almost
impossible condition several from the
country came In to hear the speaking. The
meeting was quite in contrast TO the one
held here Saturday night by the demo-
Gratis who had three speakers. and al
though the weather was favorable only
about twenty-five attended and not a
woman was in the audience. The night
before the same democratic speakers ad-
dressed an audience in Mason City of only

RUSER WON'T FORGIVE WIFE
Chalco Farmer Will Divorce Woman
Who C~onspired to Kill.
SHE IS NOW IN sARPY JAI1
Arrested on the Charge of Being Ac-
complete of Her ParamOur, STA
GER, in Attempt to XIII
Husband.

Mrs. Emil Ruser OF Chalco is IN the
Sarpy county Jail at Papillion with the
charge against her of being ar accomplish
in and accessory to the attempt to murder
her husband, made by John Slayer early
on the morning OF October 10.
County Attorney lingo of Sarpy county
went out to the Ruser farm. near Chalco,
Monday to decide upon the course to take.
He had determined that II Ruser wanted
to forgive his wife for conspiring to a k
his life that she might marry the Ruser
farm hand with whom she had carried on
the liaison he would permit him TO do so
and not prosecute the wife. But Ruser
was mot that ready to forgive. Instead
he will begin suit for a divorce at once
and will retain custody of the 1-year-old
child.
mo, I don't propose TO forgive her and
/ won't live with her. / am going to get a
divorce and keep my baby to myself"
That was Ruser's reply to the county
attorneys inquiry to what he proposed do
ing.
II returned at once to Papillion and drew
up the complaint and gave It to Sheriff A.
J. Spearman. who has gone out to the
Ruser farm to serve It and bring the
woman in to the JAIL Mr.. Ringo told The
Bee over long-distsnce telephone Tuesday
morning. 81 will prosecute her with the
same vigilance that I will prosecute the
man, 'sTagor. or course. both have made

N. E savtlle, a republican farmer, drove
up to the train while Mr.. Bryan was speak
ing. He left a bag full of apples with his
compliments and the promise Of his vote.
Apples. by the way, Mr.. Bryan has a dis
tiEct fondness for. "-world-Herald Oc-
tober II.
The above article appeared in the World
Herald of October u and today was the

Ing and was accosted by a couple Of DER
SONS whom 1 took to be some Of Mr..
Bryan's party. They wanted to purchase a
brshel Of apples, 1 gave them about a half

Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-21

cision meets a cordial response among the
people. He was Indifferent to public senti-
ment, however, and did not determine on
his action until Ruser had declared his in
%tention to break off with his wife.
And the man said. the woman . = = she
gave me of tho tree and l did eat.
And the woman said, the serpent beRuiled
me and / did eat.
It's the same old story Of Adam and Eve
tho man lays the blame on the woman
and the woman on the serpent, which, in
this case, is the man.
The county attorneys says that. while
Mrs. Ruser has not repudiated her con-
fession made 10 the Omaha detectives. she
insists Slayer and not herself is responsible
for the shame and crime in which both
are enmeshed and which has destroyed a
home. Slayer, in his dull stupidity, says:
It's her fault. She began it."
Slayer still occupies a cell in the Douglas
county Jail in Omaha. He seems utterly
Indifferent to his fate and makes no plans
for his trial or hearing.
John Wants Matilda to Go.
Il want Matilda to go to the p~eniten-
tiary with me 1, l go-and l guess I'm
sure going" said John Slayer, who
attempted to kill Emil Ruser for his wife's
love.
John peered out through the bars at the
Douglas county Jail where his sunburn
is fast leaving a blank looking face.
when Matilda and l get out we will go
somewhere and live a decent life. That's
all the plans I have. / amt seen no lawyer
and don't know what is coming TO me. I
think that three years ought to be enough"
John asked interestedly whether Matilda
(Mrs. Ruser) had WEIGHED and denied
her connection with the murder plot or
! not, and when told that she was standing
pat" he said:
"Well, she's just as guilty as me and
Emil is doing the right thing by both us.
He could never have took her back. But
l don't know what to think of the mess.
I ! have thought about It some and they are
doing the right thing. Don't you think
three years is enough?'
Officers who have charge of Slayer are
surprised at his absolute Indifference to his
fate and that he should blame the woman
as he does for his downfall" They are
inclined to think he Is a mental incapable
and does not recognize Justice from in
Justice. He apparently does not realize the
crime which he mmtt against Emil
Rusa-.
As a matter OF fact the law says John
and Matilda, II convicted, would be en-
titled to from one to twenty years in the
penitentisry, regardless OF what John
thinks.

TWO FINE ROOMS FOR JURY
Quarters Are Equipped in the District
Court that VIII BE COM
mOdiOuE.

Douglas county can now boast two Of
the finest jury rooms in Nebraska as ac-
cessories to it's district court. The rooms
are just being completed but the installa .
ton of a closet in each Of them by County
Plumber John Lynch. The plumbing is OF
the latest style and the closets complete.
The rooms are light and airy and in
marked contrast to the dungeons in the
basement, in which juries were formerly
locked while arriving at their verdicts.
Another advantage OF the new Jury rooms
is that they are Inaccessible to the public.
Both Of them open off the criminal court
room. They are on the third floor and
cannot be reached without going through
the criminal court room. With all mod.
ern oonveniences at hand It viii be un-
necessary now for Jurors to leave the jury
rooms except for meals.
