The Forest City's aroheologists claim

ROSE Bill

Reasons.

Columbus. o., Jan. 3O.-The Rose
county local option biii was un.
favorably reported by the City Audi.
tors association of Ohio, now in
session at the Southern, for the
reason that no provision is made
for the revenue now received from
the liquor interests.
The Payne bill, which is before
the legislature, was recommended
provided that an amendment be
made for the election of officers OF
the boards of nreview and safety,
rather than their appointment by
the mayor.
On the question of the city audi
tor having charge of the funds
OF the school board. the associa-
tion reported unfavorably. It was
shown that the boards of education
are themselves averse to this plan
and that the auditors, by making
favorable report. would be invit-
ing trouble. The plan as proposed
provides for no extra compensation
and, as the auditors saw It. there
was no motive for their looking
for the extra work.
Informally the auditors discuss
ed the present system Of govern
ment, whereby they are under two
boards, the legislature governing
them and the city council fixing
their salaries. Under this system

Brought Sobs From tht
Woman Who is Oh Trial
for Her Life.

| Chicago, January 30.-The tragic
scene between Mrs. Dora Mcdonald
and the artist, Webster Guerin, when
he fell unconscious with bullet
wound through his body, was re-en.
acted in dramatic manner from
the witness stand In Judge Brenta.
nos Court. Mrs. Mcdonald, who
is on trial for the murder, gave nc
heed to the startling bit OF realism.
! Waving his hands above his head
the revolver in one hand, just as he
declares 1t was whent he saw Mrs
Mcdonald reeling over Guerin's dead
body, G. b. Williams stood beside
the witness chair and acted the de-
tails of the scene in Guerin's Of
flee.
1t was a point scored for the de-
fense, for Mrs. Mcdonald was shout
ing, according to the witness. Hes
shot himself; he's shot.ltimeslf. Get a
doctor quick!" . Ba
This sensational scene came amid
accusations Of bribery from Doth
sides John G. s. Peterson, among the
witnesses was put on the rack and
Threatened with exposure to Chief
Shippy, admitted he had visited the
attorneys for the defense and been
told there Is lot OF money to be
made out of this case."
While the bribe sensation was at its
height. a dramatic scene was enact
ed in the courtroom. The blood
stained garments in which Webster
Guerin met his death were held up,
one by one, and Mrs. Avis Dargan-
Guerin, the bride of Archie Guerin,
broke into sobs. Mrs. Mcdonald
sank into her chair and hid her face
for the first time. Miss Nellie Fitz-
gibbons wept aloud.
The first sensation after the Court
convened was the admission by c..
b. Williams that he had received
SIS or 500 from Colonel James Ham
ilton Lewis and other attorneys for
the defense. Williams was sum-
moned to the stand by Judge Bren-
tano, although he had been listed as
one OF the defendants witnesses.
James Schneider, former elevator
boy at the Omaha building, testified
to seeing a woman with something
In her hand that looked like re-
volver, smash in the glass door of
Webster Guerin's office.
AT times during the cross-exam-
nation, the excitement was intense.
More than one witness wiped his
forehead, although the temperature
was uncomfortably low. More than
one question brought the counsel for
both sides to their feet with a sharp

with special SKILL"

Tillman, waving his hand toward

to vindicate the issue of the Pan
anna bonds?"
Mr.. Carter retorted promptly that
the secretary had just sent the in
formation concerning that matter
to the senate and he did not pro-
pose to determine that matter un-
til he had an opportunity to con-
slider the facts.
Mr.. Tillman declared that the
senator from Montana was partisan
in his defense of the secretary.

that "all presidential candidates
