JOHNSON TOO LATE2
Watterson Puts Damper on Minnesota
 Governors Boom.

Chicago, June 10. - Colonel Henry Watterson has lost hope in the boom that he incubated for Governor John son and left here for conference with MT. Bryan in Lincoln.
 Governor Johnson is a victim of procrastination, said he in an inter view here. When Bryan said in a speech a year and half ago that he would step aside if shown a candidate who could offer more chances of mak- ing race promising greater success, took him at his word and named Gov ernor Johnson. But the introduction of the Minnesota governor into the presi- dential arena fell as flat as a stale buckwheat cake. There was nothing doing. Hardly soul jumped up and murmured 'Hurrahr
 Bryan will win on the first ballot by exclamation. I do not believe that Johnson can have more than 200 or 25O votes at the utmost in the Denver convention.
 Tt is hard to look forward from June to November, but I feel that with Bryan we have a fighting chance this year have not before seen the Democrats so thoroughly in accord with Bryan's candidacy. There sp- pears to be little real opposition to him among the Democrats. Taft will cer- tainly be the Republican candidate, and I believe that Bryan could beat Taft with certainty if the election were to be held tomorrow without a na- tional campaign or the expenditure of a Republican campaign fund"

CONVERSION" DENIED.
Story of Man Who Says He Aided Mrs.
 Guinness Disproved.

Rochester, N. Y, June 10.-It was es- tablished by police investigation that Mae O'Reilly, whom Julius Truelson of New York 'confessed' he took to the Guinness farm at Laporte, Ind, where she was murdered, is alive and we'll at Saratoga, where she is visiting. The supposed murder of the woman, who was Truelson's wife, was the most important point in his self in eliminating statement. The police here believe that the rest of his alleg- ed confession that he participated in the Guinness crimes will now fall to pieces and that he will be found to be demented Truelson is in jail in Yer non, Tex
 The police took unusual action to get at the facts. John Doe proceedings were brought against the O'Reilly wo- mans relatives to force them to dis close her whereabouts, which previous ly they had refused to do. Thomas O'Reilly, brother, declared his sister was now Mrs. Daniel Walsh and until few days ago lived with her husband at 111a SiXty-fifth street, New York (whether east or west was not stated), but that the hunt for her drove them to Saratoga, where they are staying with Walsh's father and mother. Dan iel Walsh wast formerly of this city and met Miss O'Reilly here. She has had nothing to do with Julius Truel- son for nearly three years, according to her brother.
 The records of the Elmira reformato- " discredit Truelson's alleged confes- sion in regard to the Guinness murders. From Nov. 23, 1905, continuously until Dec. 20, 1906, he was an inmate of the refqrmatory, but he alleges he core sponded with Mrs. Guinness continu- ously up to Dec p, 1906. That would have been impossible, for inmates of the reformatory are allowed to core spond with relatives only, and all cor respondence is watched. On Dec. 20. 1906, he was turned over to a federal officer, taken to Portsmouth, N. H., after court martial and confined for about one year Therefore his state ment that he went to Laporte on Dec. 23 1906, and that in May, 1907, he took his wife there to be killed cannot hp true

SHOOTING OF DREYFUS.
Paris Sensation May Have Been the
 Outcome of a Roysiist Plot.

Paris Sensation May Have Been the
 Outcome of Royaiist Plot.
 Paris, June 10.-All Paris Is asking It. self whether the shooting of Alfred Dreyfus in the Pantheon by Louis An thehne Gregori, military journalist, means a Royalist plot against the re- public. In ltra-Republican quarters the idea is scoffed at. the loyalty of the masses to the present form of gov ernment being taken for granted, but many observers declare that the shots fired at Major Dreyfus mark the res toration to activity of the supporters of the Duke of Orleans.
 The impressive ceremonies of the canonization of Emile Zola and the retirement of his ashes had just con- cluded in the Pantheon before a gath ering of distinguished men and Presi- dent Fallieres, followed by his suit, had stepped outside the rotunda to the portico to review the troops when two pistol shots in rapid succession sound ed sharply in the temple of the coun- try's honored dead
 Major Alfred Dreyfus, the man for whom Zola had rtsked his life. liberty and fortune In the expose of the army plot to disgrace him, dramatically raised above his head his right arm, from which the blood was freely flow ing, some of the drops falling on his pale face as he held his arm In such a position that all could see 1t.
 The motive of the would be assassin is the cause of much mystifieation, for Gregori, instead of being an ordinary fanatic, such as Is carried away by the political passions of the moment, is a man of mature age. having been born in 1s44, and was highly esteemed in the circle where he was known.
 Major Dreyfus was not seriously in- jured. A bullet entered his forearm, but did not injure the bone. The off, cial statement was made that his con- ditfon was very favorable and that no complications were feared.

by ex-Governor Warmoth. The gov. ernor declared with great emphasis that he would not accept the compromise, but would carry the fight before the credentials committee and if defeated there he would go home. Other mem- bers of the lily white" faction were not so emphatic in their statements, and the Taft managers are hopeful that they can bring them to see the wisdom of the compromise before the national convention is called to order.
 The opening of headquarters for John Hays Hammond of Massachu- setts brought the vice presidential sit uation to the front. He was the first to show his candidacy in a definite form, but coincident with his activity came the movement in behalf of Gov ernor Curtis Guild of Massachusetts, who will be strongly urged when the full force of the delegation from his state arrives late in the week.
 The New York candidates, tentative and otherwise, are numerous. They are George B. Cortelyou. secretary of the treasury, and Representatives James S. Sherman and J. Sloat Fas- sett.

 Albany, N. r., June 10.-Governor Hughes for the third time appealed to the legislature by special messae. to pass the Agnew-Hart antirace track gambling bills.
 Opponents of the measures in both houses succeeded in blocking their ad vancement after they had been rein. troduced. Unless u suspension of tb rules is ordered in the senate and as- sembly-and this requires twenty-six votes in the upper and seventy-six in the lower house-the bills cannot even be sent to second reading before tomorrow, which has been fixed for final adjournment, or n recess until after the national convention.
 Elated by the continued indisposi- tion of Senator Foelker and the ab- sence of Senator Smith of Columbia. the supporters of betting prophesied the departure of all the legislators be fore the acts can be approved
 Another Vote Against Bills7
 The anti-Hughes leaders asserted with great positiveness that should Foelker appear here and vote for the Agnew-Hart bills they have the un- equivocal promise that his act will be nullified by Greater New York Re publican senator. The governor, however, claims to have received advices from the invalid senator that he will be at his post in time to vote.
 In his message the governor also recommended the following:

ters of the allies. There were at least three conferences held between the leaders of the anti-Taft forces, the sub ject of discussion being, it is declared, the statement outlined above.
 On the basis of the allies own figur- ing Secretary Taft now lacks only thirty-efght votes to insure his nonina- tion on the first ballot
 He got thirty-six more delegates by grace of the national committee, which gives him total of 453 on the tally of the allies. It requires 491 to nomi- nate.
 Tt seems like getting here the day after the convention" said Arthur J. Vorys, one of the Taft managers.
 The national committee has decided two-fifths of its contests. This is based on the actual number of contests filed, sixty having yet to be heard, while forty have been settled. It is prob able, however that the committee has finished about one-half of the total amount of work imposed on it by the numerous contesting delegations from the southern states. There are in Tex as contests on delegates at large and each of the sixteen districts. These will be consolidated, reducing the az gregate number of cases yet to be heard to forty-four. There Is possi- bility also that other consultations may be made in Virginia and other states. ..[-.
 Sixteen Contests Decided.
 The committee decided sixteen con- tests affecting thirty-sfx delegates. Of these twenty-seven are Taft men, and the remaining nine, all of whom are "black and tans" from Louisiana, have tentatively agreed that they will cast their votes for Taft There is, how ever, no binding agreement to that effect
 The contests decided comprised the delegates at large in Louisiana and Mississippi, seven districts in Louisi- ana, six districts in Mississippi and one in Missouri The Louisiana con- test, which was the most important resulted in split delegation, the com mittee deciding on a division of 20 to 80 to seat both the lilly white," or AhlL dClC& allOus tIC DldGh dud tan" with half vote for each. This agreement was not reached until after repeated conferences and much anx- fous telegraphing and telepheRing be- tween Chicago and Washington The decision finally reached by the com mittee was carried out with the full consent and approval of both Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt It pro- vided that the Republican party in Louisiana shall be reorganized under the direction of a committee of three, composed of the chairman, the secre- tary and one member of the incoming national committee. The committee passed a resolution instructing the next national committee to name as this member Pearl Wight, the present na- t1onal committeeman from Louisiana. The agreement as reached between the Taft and anti-Taft elements on the committee and as later carried into effect by that body was highly dis pleasing to the lilly whites" headed
