NEWARK, N. j.. January 6.-Desptte
efforts of the police to weaken his state

steadfastly to maintain that he Is wholly
innocent Of any part in the tragic death
Of his wife. whose body was found In a
pool In Lampblack swamp the day after
Christmas. In his cell in Harrison Whit

times has displayed nervousness border

he knew about the letter which accom-
panied Mrs. Whitmore's trunk when It
was delivered at her mothers home, he
broke down completely.
IT didn't write that letter. It must have
been written by some one who knew
my wife was going away" he cried.
What are you trying to do with me?
What are you putting up to me? This
thing Is more than any man can stand

Secretary Taft's Explanation.

HSSS SSOAy 4o4S 6AP&o1Aot4OA.
This action Is briefly explained in the
following letter to the President from
Secretary Taft:
JANUARY 5, 1908.
MY Dear Mr.. President: inclose here
with a form of executive order for your
signature, defining the duties of the 18TH
milan canal commission. the duties of the
chairman Of the commission and the
duties Of the Secretary of War in relation
to canal matters. This order makes sub
stantiaIly no change In the authority of
the commission, the chairman and the
Secretary Of War as now exercised. except
perhaps In respect to few duties OF a
detailed executive character which are
transferred from the commission to the
chairman, leaving the commission still in
general charge OF the construction of the
canal as provided by law.
Canal matters have been conducted
under previous executive orders with
informal amendments from time to
time, which it Is difficult for any one
not very familiar with the history Of
canal matters either to find or under
stand. For that reason, it seems wise
now to cover the matter by new order
which Is not an amendment or change
except as to the unimportant details
referred to. but merely a comprehensive
revision of existing provisions

EOOLING THE VOTERS.

The Republican plan for the publicity oil
campaign contributions "after election" Is
evidently political fake to fool those who
believe that contributions from trusts and
corporations are returned by reciprocal
fayors. Congressman Gains, OF West Viz
ginis, has let the cat out Of the bag, and, as he
was chairman OF the committee which favor
ably reported the publicity bill, be undoubt
eddy knows all about such political schemes.
A dispatch from Hot Springs, where Mr..
Gaines is visiting Mr.. TAFT, reports MI.
Gaines as having said she was In sympathy
with the efforts OF both Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Bryan to have publicity, but he feared that
the local political managers, the men who
have to get the dough" would do just as
they have done in years gone by and neither
MT. Tai nor MI. Bryan would be told
about 1t.
al do not say" remarked the West Vir.
Cinian, that the publicity law puts a pre-
MUM on perjury, but it puts veraclty at a
disadvantage. am not In favor Of any legis.
lation that makes conscientious man less
available as campaign manager than a
man with an elastic conscience"
Congressman Gaines is shrewd Repub-
lican politician and leader of his party,
and he plainly tells Us that the Republican
mansgers have TO get "the dough" and that
political corruption will flourish as in other
campaigns. So all this talk Of not receiv-
ing contributions from trusts by the limo
cent TAFT and the promise Of publicity "af-
ter election" IL but new schem, to fool
the voters. Well, we expected as much,

REAOTEoNARY POLICIES.

The Republican platform seems TO suit
the "maleiactors of great wealth." and Mr..
Roosevelt has assured Senator Hopkins that
he is delighted with it. Is 1t not rather
singular to see the trust buster and the trust
maker both satisfedi Have the trust mag
mates all reformed and the trusts become
"good trusts" or has Mr.. Roosevelt Joined
the reactionary forces Of the Republican
party that dictated the most important
planks of the Chicago PLATFORM
As candidate Taft is to be an understudy
OF President Roosevelt and is to further
carry out my policies," is most important
10 know just where the President now
stands on the matter of trust busting and
the punishment of evil-doers.
What lends color to the charge that Mr..
Roosevelt is showing reactionary symptoms
is the report that the prosecution OF the
Fertilizer Trust has been discontinued.

There is also the fact that In spite O a'a
