LOOKS BAD FOR CARR.
One Witness Testifies That Carr Made
Robbery Proposal to Him.

Marion, Kan, June 25.-The Carr
murder trial is now on in full swing.
The state exhausted it's last peremp-
tory challenge on Fred Lewis OF Ma
rion. Cal McBurney, also of Marion,
was accepted by both sides.
J. ID. Dehoney, the ex-Wells Fargo
messenger, was the first witness call
ed, after all other witnesses nad been
asked to leave the court room. De-
honey's testimony was to the effect
that some months prior to the killing
of Bailey. Carr came to him and asked
him if he did not want to make some
easy money by robbing the express
cars as they could easily do. each hav-
ing been express messengers and ia
miliar with the runs and cars This
proposition of Cars was rejected.
Attorney Wheeler tried to break the
force of the evidence by getting him
mixed as to time, but he stood the
cross-examination well. The 1ewelry
and money were identified and traced
from the start TO Newton.
The prosecution claims il can prove
that Carr was seen in Kansas Ciry
after No. II had left and he could
nave reached Newton only on No. lis.
IL VIII be proven by the signal tower
man that Carr was in the express car
with Messenger Bailey as they passed
the strong City yards. Evidence win
be introduced showing that Mrs. Carr
telephoned her aunt that her husband
got home that morning with plenty of
money. No link in the chain or evil
dence seems to be wnating.

CUMMINS IN CONTROL
The Progressives Run Iowa Conven-
ton to SUIT Themselves.

Waterloo, Ia, June 25.-While
"Progressives'' were in control of the
Republican state convention they did
not bear down with any undue rigor
on the "stand patters''. They adopted
a state platform giving enthusiastic
endorsement to Governor CumminS
and the progressive legislation upon
railroad and corporation questions, but
they also gave warm endorsement to
the services of the Iowa delegation in
congress and especially to Senator
William B. Allison and a pledge for
his reelection by the next Legislature
The "Progressives' secured control of
the new state campaign committee
controlling it by majority of one.
The convention nominated Judges
Scott NJ. Ladd and Silas NJ. Weaver
to succeed themselves on the supreme
bench and also went through the for
mality of approving the nomination
for state officers made in recent pri-
maries.
The convention gave loud applause
to the mention of the name of SenaNor
w. B. Allison and Senator Dolliver,
and it gave a demonstration of some
minues when Governor Cummins re-
sponded to calls for a short speech.
Governor Cummins spoke in good
spirit and pledged himself to work
for Republican success.
The platform adopted in addition to
commencing legislation for two cent
fares abolition of railway passes, pro-
hibiting corporation contributions to
campaign funds and compelling pub
licity for campaign expenditures,
pledges loyal support to Taft and
Sherman, national nominees. and the
national platform.
The convention also adopted the
following resolution with respect to
the death of Grover Cleveland:
Resolved That this convention
has learned with regret of the death
of Grover Cleveland. an executive,
whose patriotism, firmness and cour-
age challenged the admiration of his
fellow countrymen of all parties and
honored American manhood. 1t ex-
tends it's sympathy to his bereaved
family and to the nation he loved and
served with fidelity and sincerity"

BRYAN'S ESTIMATE.
Says Cleveland Possessed Elements
of Leadership to a Great Degree.

Lincoln. Neb., June 25.-The fol-
lowing tribute to former President
Grover Cleveland was written by w.
j. Bryan and will appear in next
weeks issue of his paper:
THE death of ex-President Grover
Cleveland brings to a sudden end the
phenomenal career of one of the
strongest characters known to the
political world, during the present
generation. Like every commanding
figure he has Jealous supporters and
earnest opponents, but those who diff
fered from him were as ready as his
warmest friends to concede to him the
possession of elements of leadership
to an extraordinary degree. He was
deliberate in action, firm In convic-
ton, and ever ready to accept re-
sponsibility for what he did. Few
men have exerted a more positive in
fuence upon those associated with
them. We are not far enough from
the period in which his work was
done to measure accurately his place
made him great are part of the ma
tons heritage and universal sorrow
is felt at his DEATH
Sentiments of regret were expressed
by Norman Z. Mack of Buffalo, who
was visiting Mr.. Bryan, when news
came of Mr.. Cleveland's death. Mr..
Mack, who knew Mr.. Cleveland we'll
when he lived in Buffalo, pronounced
him a leading citizen and said his
death was a shock to the nation.

poned TO July s.

sorrow the commencement festivities at

demise of Mr.. Cleveland as the process
sion of the officials of the university,

tiful and eloquent tribute TO the mem
DRY of the dead ex-president. At the

ing was to have been held in Washing

ton it will not be held until Wednes-
day, July 8. in Washington.
At the alumni dinner after the for
NAL commencement exercises, Taft de-
livered the second of his scheduled adj
a casual reference to politics in his
speech, that being when he begged to
advise the young alumni of Yale that
the term Democrat" is mere his
torical description"
To what was regarded as a signifi-
cant fact he outlined his own position
when he said he had come to Yale to
be filled with Yale spirit which was
THE spirit of progressiveness without
the spirit of destructiveness."
The secretary was introduced in a
felicitous speech by President Hadley
and as a preface to the secretary 5
speech the assemblage sang Every
body takes his hat off to Taft"

MIR. President. Ladies and Gentle
men, Men of Yale:-I join in express
sion of sorrow-deep sorrow at the

great man and a great president. He
had the highest civil ideals, he had a
rugged honesty, he had a high courage
that makes him now happy in his death
as he leaves this life revered, respect
ed and loved by all his countrymen and

Phenix City, October 3.-(Special.)-- The scene of the mysterious assassina- tion of John W. Mullin, a prominent citizen here. last Tuesday morning is in the throes of another sensation to- night. MT. Mullin received a note d day of two before his death warning him that he was going to be killed, and death came just as promised. To- day there was found in the front yard of the residence of E. D. Huggins in that city note addressed to him, en- closed in a pay envelope. The note read: Med Huggens, you can fix your self for I will get you before the week is gone" The only signature was the letter 'D," written three times.
 Huggins' family is in state of the greatest alarm tonight, but he trans acted his Saturday night business up town as usual.
 The incident recalls to Huggins very vividly an experience he had four months ago. A friend of his heard two strangers plotting to do him bodily harm and loaned Huggins his pistol so he could protect himself if attack ed while en route home. Just before he reach ed home a large man sprang out from behind a telegraph pole and ran toward him, declaring that he would fix him." Huggins fired at him twice, although without effect. and the stranger ran off
