Il believe the Chicago Cubs have a.
least as good chance as any other
National league team for winning the
pennant this year." remarker Manager
Murray Of the Pfrifffes Ssttfttayy
Chances men have about the most
evenly balanced aggregation III the
league. and they're just beginning to
get together properly after months
of misfortune that would have put an
ordinary team out of the running long
ere this. The Cubs are only three
games behind the leaders. and with
the season still six weeks To run
there Is reason TO believe that the.
can close UP that gap Stfd get sifghr
bunch before the final game Is play.
ed"
Next to their interest in the Nation
al league race the supporters of the
old circuit are wondering IL the
worlds championship will come TO the
National again this year or be capt
ured by the American. The dope
favors the latter proposition.
IL the kind of baseball and the class
OF talent shown by the New York
team during its recent series here Is
that the National league can put forth
It's a cinch that the Detroit team OF
the American league. which Is gener-
ally conceded to have the pennant In
the American In its grasp. will come
In the winner. Cincinnati fans had
an opportunity of witnessing the clas-
sly game that the Detroits are capa'
bic OF playing during the exhibition
season in the spring Of this year.
Since then the Detroit pitchers Lave
gotten In perfect shape. assuring even
better quality of sport than they
showed early In the season. And this
exhibition was far ahead Of anything
Aseen=eH local lot this year----
or course, II Is possible That the
Cubs and Pirates have made great
progress In their general work since
they were here last. But on the form
that they have shown on the local 'ot
to date Pittsburg. New York nor Chi
cago has a right to beat Detroit In a
series of games.

FUNDS FROM
CORPORATIONS
LAW DEFlANTL.Y BROKEN, AS
PROVED BY LETTER TO cHicA.
GO CONCERN FROM THE REPUs-
LicAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-(Special. -
The fact has developed that the Re-
publican national committee is ignor-
Ing the federal statute making II un-
lawful to solicit money for political
purposes from CORPORATIONS. X letter
addressed To a Chicago corporation,
urgently appealing for funds, was Is
sued Aug. Fl from Republican ration
al headquarters on stationery of the
Republican national committee This
letter was signed by Fred w. Upham.
assistant treasurer OF the Republican
committee. At the top of this station
cry was the name OF Frank II. Hitch
cock. the Republican rational chair
man, and the names of all OF the OFF,
GERS OF the committee, OF which he Is
directing head. For fear the appeal
for corporation aid might be overlook
ed. Mr.. Upham enclosed in his letter
a self-addressed envelope in large
print, which directed that the return
of the sinews U war be made 10 him

can national COMMITTED 234 Michigan
ave. Harvester building. Chicago.
While addressing this appeal for
financial aid to corporations, Treas
urer Upham was careful to say You
are requested to bring this matter to
the attention of your business asso-
ciates and ask each to send check"
In other words, Mr.. Tafts campaign
managers are doing by indirection
that, which IL done directly, would be
violation OF the federal laws of ,-.e
land. Here is Mr.. Uphams fat-frying
letter.
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 81, 1907.
Gentlemen:
Both the New York and Chicago
headquarters Of the Republican
national committee have been
opened and the work of, the cam
paign is we'll advanced. The .iec-
ton of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman
is essential to the welfare of this
country and perfect organization
is necessary to elect them. To
secure a perfect organization the
national committee must be Iiber-
ally supplied with funds. Con-
gress recently enacted a statute
making it unlawful to solicit mon
ey for political purposes from cor
porations. All the funds, there.
fere,-for the Campaign must be
supplied by individuals. You are
requested to bring this matter to
the attention of your business ac-
sociates and ask each to send
check.
Please be as liberal as possible
as IL will take a large amount OF
money to pay the expenses Of Or
sanization, the postage, printing,
speakers bureau and various de-
tails that are absolutely necessary
to success.
Yours very truly.
(Slqned) FRED w. UPHAM.
Assistant treasurer.
| This Is clever scheme for evadinG
| the federal statute in collecting cam
paign funds. and 1t shows that Mr..
Tafts managers are relying on cor
poration aid for the conduct Of their
campaign. Following this plan or hat
passing, 1t Is reasonable to suppose
that letter OF like kind has been or
will be sent to the Standard Oil Co..
with the expectation OF receiving =
contribution from John ID. Rockefeller
and his multimillionaire associates
who share In the royalties OF the
| greatest or all corporations.

MARINE MAN IS
MURDERER SUICIDE
SHOOTS WIFE IN JEALOUS RAGE
AND ENDS HIS OWN
LIFE.

PORT HURON, Mich, Aug. 2s.--
Capt. Elmer +. Campbell, a we'll
known marine man, in jealous rage
yesterday, chased his wife from the
house into the street, fired three shots
from a revolver into her body, then
re-entering the house. swallowed a
quantity OF carbolic acid and standing
in front OF a mirror made deatn
doubly sure by putting bullet into
his own brain. He died instantly.
His wife lived only 20 minutes.
Residents OF Miller-st. were startled
by the cries OF Mrs. Campbell as she
ran from her home. Then the shots
rang out and she was picked up IN an
unconscious condition and carried
into the home OF John Gould, neigh
Dor. One more report caused the
neighbors TO rush TO the Campbell resi-
dence and there the murderer and sur
eide was found dead. with the dis
charged revolver and empty ootue
near the body.
Fred Wager. a brother-in-law, tried
10 prevent the man from shooting his
wife. whereupon Campbell tried 10
shoot him. Four physicians worked
over Mrs. Campbell in an EFFORT 10
save her life. Two OF the Dunets'
which had lodged in her breast. were
removed. -

Much Difficulty Is Experienced in

Washington, March 13.-The taking
of a new census of the Panama canal
zone is in progress. 1t is a difficult
matter to take a census Of the zone
inhabitants because Of the compost
ton of the population, the frequency
with which persons change their resi-
dence and the number of languages
in common use. Almost all the en-
ployes. both white and black, live in
barracks or bachelor quarters and must
he enumerated there. Frequently a
large norton of them can not be found
in their quarters until after or 10
o'clock at night and this together with
the fact that a large body of labor
ers may be at work in one district or
another adds to the difficulty of the
work.

ters before the court of appeals, Mr..
Hart; you are making no showing
here"
Turning to the prisoner, Judge
Anderson said:
''Mr. Walsh, have You anything to
say why 1 should not now pronounce
Judgment upon you?''
Walsh, without arising, shook his
head slightly and the court said:
1.-THE character of the evidence and
the character of the crime of which
this defendant had been found guilty
call for extreme judgment The facts
are however, that this defendant is 70
years of age and that mere imprison-
ment is of itself SO heavy a punish
ment in case of this kind, I have
concluded the law will be satisfied
with the minimum penalty which is
five years.
The court further directed that all
the counts in the indictment be
served concurrently and further di-
rected that the defendant pay the en-
tire cost of the trial.
An application was Immediately
made to Judge Grossup of the United
States court of appeals for a writ OF
supersedeas which was granted and
Walsh was released under bonds OF
$4,000 pending the hearing of his
appeal
