LET ALVREY GO FREE.
Alleged AssaiIant of Bob" Lee Ac-
Quilted in City Court.

Leo Alvrey. the Meriden hog fancier,
who was arrested at the state fair on
a charge of assaulting r. 1. Lee, was
acquitted after short trial in the
court of Topeka today. A1vrey had
made arrangements to plead guilty, but
was dissuaded by friends, and appear
ed today ready for trial Attorney
James Troutman was on hand to assist
in the prosecution of Alvrey, and sta
ted that he was ready to go on with the
trial Judge Simon asked Alvrey if
he had an attorney, and the defendant
replied mo, and 1 don't think 1 need
one"
THE court believes that you should
have one, replied Judge Simon. and
ordered the case adjourned for 30 min
utes, and also told the defendant to
find an attorney. Alvrey went out and
found ]. B. Larimer, who demurred at
the short notice, but agreed to do what
he could. When the evidence was all
in, the story of the row between Lee
and Alvrey was condensed to something
like this: Lee was authorized by the
fair association to pin certain tags upon
the exhibitors. This tag was a small
metal device. which he attached to the
coat lapel of the victim. When he ap-
preached Alvrey, the latter was dress
ed in old clothes which he wore while
grooming his hogs, and he objected,
asking permission to go get his better
coat for the decoration.

end of the game and slapped Lee a cou-
pie of stiff swats. The fair official then
hunted up a deputy sheriff and had
Alvrey arrested.
After hearing all the evidence and
the vocal efforts of the reinforced pros
ecution, the court decided that Alvrey
was not a desperate criminal, and ac-
quilted him.
Several stock exhibitors who were
present and saw the disturbance, were
spectators or witnesses at the trial this
morning, and supported Alvrey in his
story.

NO SECOND CHOICE.
Roosevelt Hangs Out for Hughes and
Hughes Only.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-An at
tempt on the part of some of the Re
publican leaders of New York state
to induce President Roosevelt to name
a second choice for the gubernatorial
nomination was made during last
night it was learned here today. The
inquirerS were informed that the
president had no choice other than
Governor Hughes.
1.-The president has turned another
trick for Mr.. Hughes said Secretary
Loeb today, in telling of the late night
telephone call.
THE last time he did it for Mr..
Hughes, it was easy, but this time it
was found to be more difficult. Last
night the leaders at Saratoga called US
on the telephone here and inquired who
was the presidents second choice for
governor. They were promptly inform
ed that there was no second choice. The
nomination of Governor Hughes now
is a certainty"

The explosion occurred without warn
ing and the victims had no opportun-
lty to escape. The explosion was OF
such force that 1t tore great hole II
the ground where<the car stood, and
hurled pieces of the wrecked car and
the platform in all directions. The town
was shaken as If by an earthquake and
the explosion was heard for radius
of so miles Most of the wreckage
fortunately was sent in the pposlte
direction from the platform and depot
and to this fact alone may be laid the
small loss of life.
Much excitement followed the explo-
sion, but as quickly as possible the
dead and dying were carried to nearby
houses and cared for. The telegram
wires were snapped by the explosion
cutting of communication by that
means with the outside. For this rea-
son the reporting of the details was
delayed.
AS soon as the neighboring towns
were apprised of the catastrophe aid
was sent in from a half dozen places

MAINE STAYS IN LINE.
State Goes Republican by a Greatly
Reduced Majority.

Portland. Me, Sept. 15.-Additional
and revised returns made early today
of the state election in Maine yester-
day altered but slightly the result an
nounced last night, the plurality OF
Bert NJ. Fernald, the Republican can
didate for governor, over Obadiah
Gardner. Democrat, remaining at
1929, with 25 small towns and 20
plantations still to report. A com
plete poll of the vote is not expected
for, several days.
The feature of the election was the
increase of the Democratic vote
throughout the state. Every one OF
the four congressional districts
showed gains, the increase over 1914
being 5000 votes and 1000 over
1906. These gains were made almost
entirely in the rural districts, showing
clearly the popularity of Mr.. Gardner
among the farmers of the state.
The Republican vote also was
greater by 1000 more than in 1906
but it fell 1000 below the vote in
1904. The Republicans also made
good gains in the rural districts and
in addition regained six cities in the
state which left the municipalities
evenly divided between the two par
ties. All the Republican candidates
for congress were elected. The in
coming legislature will be strongly
Republican in both branches.

RoosEvELTs INTERFERENCE
Is Bitterly Resented by the Opposition
to Governor Hughes.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Very
few people could be found today who
really believed that DR.. Hill would or
actually could be nominated. 1t was
believed there were kilograms and
letters, from Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft
and others in the Republican national
councils leaving no matter of doubt
that Governor Hughes and Governor
Hughes alone was desired by the ma
tional administration as the nominee
of the state convention.
There are many signs that a crisis
has been reached, that theoretically
Governor Hughes denomination is in
such peril as never before; that the
latest plan of the leaders, constructed d
with DIR. Hill as the cornerstone, rep
resented probably their last stand. and
that If defeated they would accept
their defeat as gracefully as they
could Herbert Parsons, fully cog
infant of what was doing, expressed
unabated confidence that the conven-
ton would nominate Governor Hughes
on the first ballot. Congressman Cox,
who represents the presidents home
district and has been one OF the me-
diums of communication between the
president and leaders in the conven-
ton said that he regarded the situa-
ton as unchanged.
None of the anti-Hughes leaders
would talk for publication. Most of
them admitted privately that while
there was still a fighting chance to de-
feat the governor Interference from
Oyster Bay" as they put it, was too
strong for them and Hughes would be
nominated.
The story the anti-Hughes men were
telling as they began to get about after
an all night conference was that Hill
would certainly be nominated ''un-
less
BY unless they admitted that they
meant unless there is irresistible in
reference from national headquarters;
President Roosevelt, the Republican
national committee and Mr.. Taft"

Gun, May Die.

Irwin Hoover, 13 years of age, of 319
Kline street, was shot and probably
fatally injured at 8 o'clock this morn
ing by the accidental discharge of a
target rifle. The 22-caliber bullet en-
tered his temple between the eye and
ear, and the physicians who probed
the wound at Stormont hospital. failed
to find the bullet. The patient is in
such a weakened condition that little
hopes for his recovery are entertained.
About s o'clock the boy went into the
loft after his little target gun, with the
intention of firing at a mark. In COM
ing down the ladder, the hammer of the
gun struck against the side of the
barn, and was discharged

over. The anti-Hughes "allies" wore
the air of beaten men.
1t was stated upon authority today
that no cablegram had been sent to
DIR. Hill, and that therefore no ans
wer was expected. 1t was further said
that at last nights conference Mr..
Root made it plain to the conferees
that the national leaders were in
tensely interested in the action of this
convention; that they were desirous
or the nomination of Governor
Hughes. not alone because of strength
would add to the national ticket In
New York state, but because they be-
lieved it would be of great value to
the national campaign in other states,
particularly in the middle west.
Mr.. Root is said to have intimated
to the leaders that there were avail
able for use at the right moment If
necessary kilograms and letters which
would leave not a shadow of doubt
as to the position of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft on the subject-should
any one still entertain any such

Loeb, the presidents secretary, after g
long telephone conversation this morn

SMOKE FROM CANADA.
Forest Fires Said to Be Responsible
for Hazy Atmosphere.

The bright warm weather of the
past two weeks was broken this morn

amounted to but .01 of an inch. The
change in the weather conditions
came Monday afternoon when hazy
pail settled over the entire state. The
condition is so noticeable as to at
tract attention and is attributed to the
great forest fires which are raging to
the north and northwest.
The heavy smoke caused by the
brush fire, and the big trees burning
has been carried in this direction by
the prevailing winds and while the
odor has been lost during the long
journey the atmosphere seems filed
with diluted smoke. The temperatures

easily accomplished. There will be one
man in Berlin, while your congress is
in session who has only to speak the
word. If the emperor OF Germany ever
realized his manifest destiny peace
would follow. He has it in his power

unite with him in declaring that since
the world has contracted to neigh

with another the interchange of prod
