Tigers have shown SO marked a super

USUAL RESULT
Mistake" Says Man After Pursuit
and Capture in Camden.

Philadelphia. July 29.-Facing a
charge of breaking and entering, John
Rananski, 45 years old. who claims
to be a Philadelphian. says that he
merely got into the wrong house."
Early this morning Mrs. Freda
Cohen, who lives at GAL Mechanic
street, Camden, was awakened by
some one stumbling through the
down stairs hall. She got up and de-
scended the stairs. thinking that it
was some member of the family who
had been out late, when she was
faced by Rananski, who, according to
her story, said, keep quiet, or I will
kill YOU
The woman screamed and the man
fled, pursued by Samuel and Alec
Mrs. Cohen's two sons, who had been
aroused by their mothers cries. The
young men, in light attire, pursued
the fleeing man for three squares
through the deserted streets, finally
catching him and turning him over
to Policeman Climes.
At his hearing Rananski said that
some time ago he met man in Phil
adelphia named .Jolinski. who had
asked him to visit him at his home
in Camden. and that he was hunting
for him when he got into the wrong

tity and quality, an oats crop that will
be the best for the last five years and
corn crop that will he up to or above
normal. The only qualification they
place on this prediction concern
corn. which is yet dependent OH rain.
Liberal rains fell here yesterday,
however, and with fair amount of
moisture from now on the yield will
be up to any former high record.
The grain men returned Saturday
after putting in five days collecting
first hand information. They covered
over seven hundred miles in C. H.
Hansels automobile. Probably no
person ever before travelled as great
distance in the same period of time
In an automobile in this state. They
made from one hundred and forty to
over two hundred miles per day and
for long stretches Mr.. Hansel kept the
indicator on his speedomoter up to
the tifty-mile mark and seldom on
good roads was it below forty-five
miles an hour.
Fifty Million Bushels Of Wheat.
According to government reports
Nebraska produced 1926 900 bushels
OF wheat on 2,57l 900 acres last year
and this year on seven per cent
smaller acreage the yield is probably
close to 50000,000 bushels" said MIR.
Twidale. I'VE found many farms
where wheat has yielded thirty-five
and more bushels per acre and only a
few where the rate was less than
twenty bushels. The average yield is
not less than twenty bushels per acre
and probably it is more.
Last year Nebraska was third in
the winter wheat column of states and
only about 100000 bushels behind
Indiana. which ranked next to Kan
sas. There is a good prospect this
year OF Nebraska being second only
to Kansas"
The grain men covered the terri
tory from Wahoo to Oxford and from
the north line of Kansas to con-
siderable distance north of the Platte
river. In this area is confined the
production of the great bulk Of the
states winter wheat.
Throughout the central part of Ne
braska and probably in other parts as
we'll, an abundance of old corn is still
in the cribs. Not much of this old
grain will be moved until after thresh-
ing and fall plowing, but it will then
be marketed in large quantity If the
price remains strong. One small sta
tion visited by Mr.. Twidale and Mr..
Williams i'll the western part of the
state expects to ship 10000 bushels of
old corn in the fall
Wealth for the Farmers.
With 50,0OO0OO bushels of wheat,
75.00O.000 bushels of oats and 275,-
100000 bushels Of corn, all selling at
high prices. Nebraska farmers will
receive much more money for their
crops this year than ever before.

washington, July ga letter from
President Taft to the tariff conference,
outlining his position on the items
which still are in doubt, has created
considerable sensation among the
conferees. The exact terms of the
letter have not been given out but it
ls regarded as an ultimatum from
h1m, and is interpreted as meaning
that Ii his terms are not complied
with he will veto the bill.
After giving the figures which he is
willing to concede OH lumber, gloves,
hosiery, leather and leather goods he
states in the letter that he has given
much consideration to the subject and
has reached the conclusion that it
would be quite unwise, If not impossi-
BILE, to make further concessions. He
says that If his terms are accepted,
he will exert his influence in both
houses Of congress to have the con-
ference report accepted but that if
these various schedules are not ad-
justed i'll accordance with his .sug-
gestions he would feel called upon to
reject The bill when sent to him.

the adoption of the conference report

TILLMAN I'LL
Vitnolic Senator from South Carolina
May Not Resume Duties.

Trenton, S. c., July 29.-The shrill
voice OF Senator Benjamin Ryan Till
man of South Carolina, may never be
heard In the senate chamber again.
Senator Tillman is i'll at his home, a
farm near this place. He has been
at home for three weeks and his
friends say his condition is so serious
that there is little likelihood that he
will be strong enough to return to
Washington to vote on the tariff bill.
The rumor that he contemplates re-
signing his seat is revived, but Mr..
Tillman is following the same course
he did last sumner and refuses to
confirm or deny the report.
Senator Tillman has not fully re-
covered from the attack o. partial
paralysis which seized him last sum-
mer. He tried to cure this by an ex-
tended tour OF several months in
Europe. The health resorts of the
continent helped him greatly, and he
returned to the United States much
stronger than he was when he left.
While the paralysis has not returned,
general debility from nervousness
has made his life unhappy in the last
few months.
The going of Tillman will take
from the senate one of its most pic
turesque characters. "Pitchfork
Ben," as he is called, is feared of all
other senators for the sharpness of
his tongue and the keeness OF his wit.
No man in the United States senate
is an ADLER rough and ready debater
than Tillman.
Senator Tillman's brother. the late
George r. Tillman, was a congress
man from the Second South Carolina
district. In the house he was known
as one of the most quiet and unemo-
tional men that ever sat in the body.
The name of Tillman was practically
unknown until Senator Tillman was
elected governor of South Carolina in
1890. He celebrated his election by
forcing through the legislature the
dispensary liquor law in that state.

was held and the body identified by the
widow and several others as that Of
William McCracken.
The Prudential Insurance company,
the WOodmen of the World and the
New York Mutual Life Insurance
company paid the widow policies ag-
gregating $4,000. In addition he car
ried policies in the Great Western In
surance company, Travellers Insur-
ance company and the knights and
Ladies' Of Security aggregating $12,-
600. The three last named companies
did not pay the policies, and Mrs.
McCracken, the widow, on behalf of
herself and children, began suit in the
district court at Pawhuska, Ok, To
recover the $4,000. Witnesses have
been found who say they have seen
William McCracken alive since the
day he was reported drowned. One
of these witnesses, j. G. Cook of Paw
huska, gave evidence In q deposition
taken this morning in the Office Of
Thomson, Stanley & Price, attorneys
in the Dwight building. Mrs. Cook is
to testify this afternoon.
Saw Him Fall on q Raft.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook were camping
on the bank of the Arkansas river
with Mr.. and Mrs. McCracken at the
time of the drowning. Mr.. Cook testi-
fled this morning. Late in the after
noon on August 10 Mr.. McCracken
went on the river on a raft made OF
loges with box constructed In the
center Of 1t. Mr.. Cook testified that
he, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. McCracken
and Edward Lowe saw Mr.. McCrack-
en- fall from the raft into the river;
saw the raft float down the river and
did not see Mr.. McCracken's body
come to the surface.
Twelve days later, Mr.. Cook said
a body was found below where the
drowning Is supposed to have taken
place. He said the body was dressed
in the same clothes Mr.. McCracken
wore at the time of the drowning
and looked very much like the body
Of McCracken. In fact, Mr.. Cook tes-
titled at the inquest, he said this
morning, that 1t was the body of Mr.
McCracken. The same day he made
sworn statement that he believed II
to be McCracken's body.
Saw McCracken Late One Night.
A few days later. he said, he saw
something to change his mind. He
said in his testimony this morning
that several days after McCracken
was supposed to have drowned in
the Arkansas river he saw him, late
one night. He said also he heard
hammering down the river shor,
time after. McCracken drowned, as II
hoY nrS~n
On cross-examination he said he
had made statements that it was Nc
Crackens body which was found in
the river, but that those statements
were made before he had seen Nc.

drowning.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER
Body OF Miss Lida Newman Found Ii

Greensboro, N. c., July ga mys-

here today when the dead body of
Miss Ida Newman, aged IS, who
lived alone on her farm in remote

Miss Newman was last seen Tues
day morning going in the direction Of
her COW lot.
Robbery evidently was the object
Of the murder, as the dead woman
was wealthy and was known to keep
considerable sums of money in her
home. Her residence was burned
several months ago in an effort to
hide the theft of $1,000.
