TAFTTo PLAY SHERMAN GOLF.
Successful Candidates Will Take Rest
at Hot Springs, Va.

SUCCESSFUL SduNiOdeSo ss'' sss>S 'sSSS
at Hot Springs, Va.
Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 13.-Presi-
dent-elect Taft was joined here by
Vice President-elect Sherman, who
said he had come to the Virginia
mountains to rest and play for a week.
He met Judge Taft on the veranda of
the Homestead hotel and the two ex-
changed cordial greetings.
"Come up to the cottage and see me
any time" said Mr.. Taft, after the two
had chatted briefly. Il will do it and
be glad to- responded Mr.. Sherman.
But the vice president occupied the
afternoon with a game Of golf with
William L. Ward, national committee
man from New York, and the call was
not made yesterday.
While no definite engagement has
been arranged for a, game on the links
between the two men who are to head
the next administration, each has ex-
pressed wish to play the other, and
the interesting event may take place
today.
Other prominent men here are Rep
resentative Burton of Ohio, Senator
Burkett of Nebraska and Senator Scott
of West Virginia.

Bryan would personally donate $4,000,
but it is not disclosed whether he did
so or not. There was an understand
ing that in case of the election of Bry-
an, Mr.. Huffman was to be made post
master, and probably MIR. Rinehart
would also he given good position.
Again the state treasury comes to
the front with a record of something
like sS8,000 more actual cash on hand
in the general revenue than at the
corresponding time a year ago. 1t is
strange, but true. that newspapers
which were heralding the state as
bankrupt only few months ago
have been unable to take note of the
fact that for a long time the general
fund cash balance in the state treas
ury has shown remarkable good health.
The republican state committee met
and closed the campaign yesterday with
an all-around congratulation as to
results. Mr. Copeland of the Eighth
district, was the only one who had 70
report bad day in encounter with the
enemy. cit seemed as if everything
that has gone wrong in the district
for several years was laid UP to Con-
gressman Hepburn Mr.. Copeland
said. '1t was pretty hard to argue
against those who had lost their money
in bank failures. They would listen
to any reason on the matter. And
Hepburn was just the kind Of a man
to stand up and talk good republican
doctrine no matter what might be the
result" 1t is expected that Judge
Towner or Senator Jamison will be
the next republican candidate in the
district.
There is not very much expectation
that Governor Cummins will issue a
parole for the notorious "BilP' Rich
ards, even with the large array Of
signers to his petition for clemency.
Richards had more influential friends
than any criminal ever sent to the pen
from this county, He had been in the
federal service a long time and it was
felt that all of the federal officials
wanted to shield him. But he was con-
yicted of instigating about as mean
a crime as any ever conceived in Iowa.
Not only was an old couple robbed or
their life savings. but they were tor
tured to make them tell about the hid
ing place of the money. Richards,
however, kept himself in the back
ground and had others to do the most
of the work There will be strong
resistance to the application for pa
role.

PRINCE cHuN NAMED REGENT
My stery Surrounds the Happenings at
the Royal Palaoe-Attempt to Keep
Fact. Concerning Dowaser Empress
From PubIic-Prince chun's Son is
Appointed Heir Apparent.

Peking, Nov. 13.-The emperor Of
China was reported dead at o'clock
this afternoon. However, it has been
impossible to secure official confirma-
tion of the announcement up to 6 this
evening. His majesty was transferred
to the death chamber at o'clock in
the afternoon. At that hour he was
still breathing.
Two imperial edicts were issued from
the palace this afternoon in quick sue
cession. The first makes Prince Chun
regent of the empire. The second ap-
points his son, Pu Wei, heir presump-
tive.
>Dowaser Empress Dying.
1t was reported this evening that the
dowager empress is also dying.
This rumor, if true, would explain
the two edicts issued late this after
noon regarding a regency for the en-
pire. The foreign residents of Peking
are confused by the sudden develop
nents today and the various reports
and rumors emanating from the palace.
1t is absolutely impossible to obtain
any confirmation officially of the re-
ported death of the emperor and the
condition of the dowager empress.
There is a certain amount of suspic-
ion in regard to what is actually trans
piring, 1t is believed the government
will utilize the dying condition of the
emperor, if he is already dead, to screen
the condition OF the dowager empress.

SCHAFFNER PLEADS GUILTY;
GETS SIX YEARS in WORKHOUSE
Judge Spruance Tells Prisoner His Crime Being
Despicabe, Demanded Swift and
Severe Punishment

Alfred L. Schaffner. the young white
man who was indicted on two charges
Of attempting to persuade persons to
take a false oath. sprung a surprise in
General Sessions Court this morning by
entering a plea of guilty to one of the
indictments Several minutes later
Schaffner was sentenced to six years
imprisonment and to pay the costs of
prosecution as the penalty for his
crime. He was not affected by the
sentence. His mother, who has been
the constant companion Of the young
man since he was placed on trial for
the offense last week, remained with
schaffner until a few minutes before
the sentence was passed
First Jury Disagreed.
This was the day fixed for second
trial of the charge against Schaffner,
a jury in court last week having failed
to agree on a verdict in the case. The
specific charge against Schaffner was
that Of attempting to persuade Roland
c. Daniels to take false oath. Deputy
Attorney General Hastings, for the
State, showed that Schaffner had ap-
preached Daniels. as well as three
other persons. and attempted to per-
suade them to give testimony, which
had it been given in court might have
been sufficient to have dissolved the
marriage relation between Israel and
Bessie Eisenman. William W. Knowles,
for Schaffner, sought to prove that
Daniels and not Schahner. had sug-
gested the false testimony, and after a
two days trial that bordered on the
sensational, the jury in the case report
ed its inability to agree and was dis
charged. The body stood eleven to
one for conviction. Second trial of
the case was then fixed for to-day. Be
fore the case could be called, however,
Mr.. Knowles for Schaffner, held con-
sultation with Attorney-General Rich
ards, the result of which was the plea
Of guilty. 1t came as a surprise to
every one in the court room. Before
