ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
JUDGE TAFT .RUsILY ENGAGED sf WRITING TT.
of all the Pianlxs in Platform, That Relating to Injunetions WfIi Prob ably Receive the Most
 Attemtfon

Hot Springs. Va, July 13.--Beginning the work of writing his speech of acpcetance of the presidential nomi- nation to be. delivered in Cincinnati on July 2s. Judge W. H. Taft today made a careful study and, comparison of the democratic and republican platforms adopted by the recent conventions.
 He has at hts command copies of speeches of acceptance of candidates of both parties of recent years and with in a day or two, he will receive copies of the platforms of both parties for many years. Mir. Taft is handling this task as a judge on the bench would hear q case. He is looking through all the documents bearing on the sub- feet and before concluding his work. he will have the views of many lead CTS of the party on the draft of the document.
 Of all the blanks in the platform, that relating to injunctions is probably the one that will receive most atten- ton. So much has been said on this subject. erikiejsm from democratic sour. cas having been made. on his record while on the bench in respect to the process of the injunction and the two parties having adopted blanks on that subject which are likely to play an important part in the campaign. Mir. Taft will declare hts position on this subject In forceabie terms.
 Senator Warmers notification speech will be so brief that. it will not re- qulTe over ten minutes in it's deliv- cry The speech of acceptance also will be short. The letter of accep- tance will treat public questions at greater length and will not be forth coming for several weeks after the cer- emohy of notifying the candidate has taken place.
 Mir. Taft today began his days work by looking over his mail and dictating a few letters after which he went to the golf links. Even with the neces- sity of finishing the pressing task be- fore him. he does not intend to set aside his favorite game.
 T will play golf every day" he said as he started out this morning, just as I would take medicine"
 He had an expert player against whom to contest in the person of George Ingalls,, son of M. D. Tngails whose cottage faces the homestead.
 All five visiting statesmen have left for their homes and today there were no conferences to interrupt Mr. Taft in his work. He has invited no one here this week except Arthur I. Vorys. of Ohio, who will be in charge of the campaign in Ohio. A delegation to ask Judge Taft to be present at the dedica- tion of the new court house at Ger mantown, fsve miles from Hot Springs, came here today and Mir. Taft accept ed the invitation. He said he would not make a political speech but that he would possibly talk about the admin istration of justice The dedication will take place next Monday.

SHOOTS DOWN
 S0N-INLAW Dr. Simpsons at Death $
 Door. AGED WOMAN ADMITS DEED This Is Second Tragedy at Homer
 Homestsad. About Two Years Ago pr. simpson Killed His Father-in-Law But Was Acquitted at His
 Trial.

Northport. N. r., July 1s.--Standins within a few feet of the spot where. a little more than two years ago he shot and killed his aged father-in-law. pr. James weddeli simpson. a dentist of New York, was shot and perhaps nor tally wounded today by his mother-in- law. Mrs. BartIey T. Horner, the wo- man he made a widow
 pr. simpsons wife. from whom he has been estranged for many months, was near when the shot was fired but she did not witness the shooting. Ups on learning that It was her husoand who had been wounded. she refused 10 go near him and pr. simpson had to crawl to a house 200 feet away to have his wound attended to. Mrs. Horner was later arrested and held In S5,OOO bail while Dr. Simpson, with the as- sistance of two friends, made his way to Roosevelt Hospital in New York. The bullet lodged in his liver and an immediate operation was performed to take the bullet out. The doctors said tonight that pr. Simpson has only a small chance of recovery.
 Statements from Dr. Simpson and from Mrs. Homer as to the circum- stances attending the shooting dis agree The dentist says that he had received word that his wife intended to sue him for a divorce and that he went to the Horner home to talk with her about It. He says he rang the door bell and upon receiving no response, peered through the door pane. He saw Mrs Horner. hs says, and called to her to open the door. Then, Doctor Simp- son says. Mrs. Horner grabbed up a revolver and shot him. The bullet en- tered his body above the abdomen and he fell back against the door sill. A second shot was fired at him. he claims, but the bullet went wild.
 Admits the Shooting.
 Mrs. Homer does not deny that she did the shooting but she claims justin . cation. Through her lawyer, Rowland Miles. she~said that pr. Simpson had several times failed st the house and that his visita were unweicome. When he came today cha says She ordered him away and whe1 he refused to go, she took up a revolver and shot at him. Mrs Horner was charged with felo- nious assault. After Justice Hawkins had fixed ball at $5,000 Mrs. simpson the prisoners daughter. qualified as bondsman and secured the release of her mother. Justice Hawkins set the hearing for next Wednesday.
 This second tragedy at the Horner homestead Is only another chapter in a series of unhappy domestic events of the last few years. The shooting of Bartley T. Horner by pr. Simpson aroused the countryside In December, 1905, and when the dentist was put on trial his wife took the witness stand against him Mrs. Horner also gave damaging testimony against her son. in-law pr. Simpson was going through the manual of arms with a shotgun when he accidentally shot his father-in-law. After the verdict of ac- quittal, Dr. Simpson resumed the prac- tlce of dentistry. He opened a suite of oAices on Fifth Avenue, New York. but he had lost many of his clients and of late 1t is said he has sought financial aid.

Washington. July i3.--onicial ad- vices which reached the State Depart ment today confirmed the press reports that the Honduran government forces have retaken the small town of Gracias and add that they are about to move to the more important city of cholu- teca.

The force mentioned in one of the dispatches as being on a small island about eighteen miles dis tant from Puerto Cortez. is presumably the one from which an attack is feared.
 The State Department is being fully informed of the situation In. the whole Central American country but Dodge. the Minister to Honduras and Salvador. explains that reliable information Is dificult to obtain. Meantime the Mex ican and American governments con- tinue to use their efforts to conserve peaceful. conditions in that part of the world. but have gone to the extent thus far only offering their friendly media- ton.
 Complaint is Made.
 The American cruiser Albany is now on its way from Panama to Amalapa, the Pacific coast port of Honduras. Minister Dodge has telegraphed the State Department confirming the As- sociated Press dispatches that Hondu- ras has made a formal complaint be- fore the Central American court at cartago. charging Guatemala and sal- vador with non observation of neutral Ity under the Central American Peace Convention. Information has Already reached the Department of Nicaragua's complaint that Guatemala and Ealva- dor have rendered assistance to Hon. duran revolutlonists and the Nicara- guan refugees allied with them. As bearing on this subject, reference ls made to the general treaty of peace and amity agreed on at the Waahing- ton peace conference. Article IT Of that treaty. provides specifically that tionality. within the territory of one of the contracting parties shall ini- tiate or foster revolutionary move ments against one of the others. shah be immediately brought to the capital of the republic, where he shall be sub- mitted to trial according to law.

BODY IS IDENTIFIED.
Miss Drew Was Recognized By Brooch
 and Hat Pin.

Troy, N. T., July I3-The body of young woman found Sunday floating in the Teals pond. has been identified as that of Miss Hazel I. Drew, daugh- ter of John Drew. of this city. Identi- fication was made through a brooch and a hat pin.
 It was at first thought that the girl might have committed suicide. but this theory was dispelled by the autopsy which showed that there was no water in the lungs, proving that the young woman did not drown and that her skull had been fractured by a heavy blow on the back of the head. It is supposed that the murder took place at some other place, possibly in this city and that the body was taken 10 the pond. which Is a secluded and lone ly spot, and thrown into the water.
