Panama Elections Offer Too
Good an Opportunity to
Butt In.

Washington, June 11.-Probably by
way of preparing the public mind for
active Intervention in Panama TO pre-
vent electoral frauds and insure a free
expression of the will of the people at
the polls. the war department today
made public copies of correspondence
that had been exchanged between our
government and that of Panama re-
lating to this subject. On May II last
Secretary Taft wrote President ANA
dor that he had received petitions,
which he believed to be cOrTObOrated,
showing that fraud was about TO be
peTpetrated in the coming election,
and that President Roosevelt would
not permit Panama to pass into the
hands of any one so elected.
Subsequently the Panama govern
ment was forced to submit to an in
quiry at the hands of a commission
appointed by this government, and
that commission is now at work. But
correspondence shows that four gov
errors of provinces have been re-
moved because they are Arias men
and the electoral law has been other
wise tempered with The statement
concludes: mo opinion was expressed
at the war department whether these
circumstances were leading to fraud
requiring intervention. 1t was said
that the government could de nothing
but wait the event and then sum up
the evidence and reach conclusion"

POSSIBLE CASE Of MURDER
Body Buried at Bay City, Mich, and
the Matter of Death Kept
Secret.

Bay City, Mich, June 11.-An autopsy
this afternoon on the body Of Oscar
Peterson, which was eXhumed between
his home and that of Mrs. Elizabeth
Barnett, where the woman claims il
was buried by Frank Peters and an
unknown man after Peterson had died
a natural death in his home, revealed
no marks of violence. The internal or
gans were turned over to a chemist
to be examined for traces of poison. it
being the theory of the police that he
was poisoned.
Frank Peters, whom Mrs. Barnett
this afternoon declared took the body
from the cellar of PetersOn's home with
an unknown man and buried it, was
placed under arrest. Mrs. Barnett de-
clares that when she found the two
men taking the body out they told her
that they had found Peterson dead and
that if she told of his death people
would suspect her of killing him.
Peters denied absolutely any knowl-
edge of PeteFson's death or burial. He
says he last saw Peterson on May "a,
when he and Mrs. Barnett went TO Pc
tersOn's shahty.
A trace of Mrs. Barnett's missing
husband was discovered today, when
John Washer stated that he saw him
three weeks ago in Flint.

EXPECTS GREAT
GAINS IN SOUTH
illinois Crank Going to Beat
Bryan on Account of Pro-
hibitiOn Views.

Milwaukee. Wis, June 11.-Claiming
to expect great gains in the south,
with possible victory in all southern
prohibition states, State Chairman
AlOnzO Wilson Of Illinois declared as
the foundation of his expectation al
legged opposition on the part of w. j.
Bryan TO prohibition. This declara-
ton was made before the Wisconsin
state prohibition convention which
convened here today.
In. 1900" said Mr.. Wilson, Mr..
Bryan stumped Nebraska against a
prohibition amendment to the Nebras-
ka constitution, and l have in my pos
session a copy of a letter from Mr..
Bryan to southern men who desired a
plank for prohibition in the Demo-
cratic national platform, in which Mr..
Bryan declared if his wishes are fol-
lowed there Will be no such plank in
the platform. As Mr.. Bryan is in con-
troll Of the Democratic party his plat
form desires will undoubtedly control
in the Democratic national convention,
and therefore no prohibition plank can
be expected from that convention"
Mr. Wilson said this was the ex-
pectation of the southern delegates
who have been looking into the sub
ject, and he said he was to leave for
the south this evening to confer with
some leading prohibition Democrats
there about their support for the pro-
hibitiOn party if no prohibition plank
was inserted in the Denver platform.
Mr.. 6ryan's Position.
Lincoln. Neb.. June n.-Referring to-
night to a dispatch from Milwaukee con-
corning his attitude on the question OF
It.phibition. Mr. Bryan said:
have received many letters from pro-
hftiuOnists and many from opponents of
prohibition, and / have answered them
all Yin the same way. ! have told them
thai / did not regard the question as a
natitnal question. While it is an issue
in atnumber of states. | do not expect il
to be, made an issue by either the Repub-
hcan or Democratic national conventions
] have made il a rule not to discuss ques-
lions outside the platform. because the
candidate has no right TO inject issues
which his platform excludes.
''In answer to questions about my own
record on the subject. | have stated that
so far as my personal habits go, l am
teetotalsrf never having used liquor as a
beverage but i'm 1890 ] voted against the
state prohibition amendment because l
thought the license system we have, with
local option, was better suited TO the con-
ditions we have to meet IN our state
"When an attempt has been made to
draw conclusi 1ns from this as TO what
ought to be done in other states. I have
called attention 10 the 1act that state
laws ought to be made TO meet the con-
ditions existing in the state and that
what I did i'm Nebraska could not be a
enide in states where conditions were diff
ferent. -
s.In other words, have refused to give
od,-fce on the question in other states, be-
eause I am not sufficiently informed as
to the conditions in the various states,
and I have refused TO discuss it as ma
tionaI question. because. as | have said.
I do not expect it to be an issue in the
campaign"
