TWO HELD FOR CONSPIRACY
SAN FRANCISCO MEN FACE A
SERIOUS CHARGE.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-The story
OF James Goodwin, the wealthy. aged
miner. whom Sydney DANNY and Jay
O'Loane are accused of conspiring to
murder for his fortune. to the effect that
the two men raised checks on him. has
been reported by Dr. John S. Potts.
According to DIR. Potts. he was called
to attend Goodwin February 10. He
found the old miner in a delirious con-
dtion due to overindulgence in alcoholic
stimuants.
DIR. Potts treated the man until Febru-
ary L. on which date he became thor
oughly rational.
While in this condition Goodwin told
the physician that O'Loane and Dandy
had raised checks which had been given
them from s2J to $500 and from SO to
S1OO. He also informed DIR. Potts that
he was convinced that the two men were
keeping him drunk to obtain his money
A Physical Wreck.
Goodwin was practically a physical
wreck when he was brought down tc
police headquarters yesterday. He looked
at the document presented to him by the
detectives and said: Yes, that Is my
signature, all right. / have been drunk
for long time. 1 sort of had an idea
that these fellows were trying to ge,
me to do something. but l could moi
tell just what it was
Sergt. Bunner asked him If he signed
away his rights willingly. do you think
I am a fool?" he answered. why shoulc
/ give away all / worked so hard fol
to these men? No l was drunk ane
did not know what I was DOING
When Mrs. O'Loane was placed under
arrest the first words she uttered were
Tell me, is the old man dead? Is III
dead?'
The detectives do not expect to fint
enough evidence to hold the woman.

1RAINlOADS FROM NEW YORK
REAL INAUGURATION EXODUS
BEGAN THIS MORNING.
Citizens and soldiery Coming to
Capital in Vast Numbers.
Horse for Gov. Hughes.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 3.-The real in
auguration exodus for Washington began
early today with trainloads Of New York
ers rolling out Of the Jersey City termi-
mails. all equipped with, If not clad at pres
ent in. the regulation Inauguration clothes
for the civilians the shiny top hat and
the dignif1ed frock coat, and for the mill
tiamen their regular uniforms. The chain
OF special trains started from the Pennsyl-
vania and Central Of New Jersey sheds
early and detached links will still be puff
fing out late tonight.
OF particular interest is the fact that on
one of the trains dispatched from the
Pennsylvania station last night were
nineteen horses in special cars consigned
to Gov. Hughes and his staff" From
this it Is assumed that the Governor of
New York will, after all. ride in the in
augural parade. in spite of the many
suggestions to the contrary prompted by
the fact that he has never been a horse
man.
Republican Committee Starts.
Probably the largest delegation from
New York city left Jersey City at 1O:45
o'clock. when 500 or more members Of the
republican county committee boarded two
trains of Pullmans. A triumphal prog
ress in bunting-trimmed automobiles to
the Courtlandt street and 23d street fer
ries on this side of the river was made
by a large number Of the delegates.
The first company Of the Signal Corps
Of the New York National Guard. which
is to act as special mounted escort to
Gov. Hughes, left the Jersey City station
at 9:45 o'clock, under the command of
Lieut. William Baldwin. The wigwaggers
will be spick and span In new uniforms
which they will wear for the first time to-
morrow.
The remainder of Gov. Hughes escort
for the parade tomorrow-the 7th Regi-
ment of the New York National Guard
will leave tonight in two special trains
composed of twenty sleeping cars and
five baggage cars. The regiment, in full
dress, will leave the armory at O'Clock.
More National Guardsmen.
The state militia will be represented
otherwise by a provisional regiment of
twelve companies, of which companies G.,
II. 1 and l. of the 10th Regiment will
form a part, and a detail from the I'd
Battalion of the New York naval reserves.
numbering eighty men. Both of these
will depart tonight.
OF the organizations which are headed
toward the capital none aroused more
speculation as to its real nature and pur-
pose than the "Bughouse Hose Company.
No. L." of Nassau county. which was
among the first today to start the move
ment on to Washington. It was rumored
that the hose men. who are all substantial
business and professional men. are equip
ped with a wheelbarrow which they in
tend to ornament with q monster ''billy
possum'' and roll in the inaugural parade.
The possum Is already provided. but

powers. and all of them endeavored to
thrust upon the United States the respon-
sibility of looking out for the welfare OF
the Lfberian republic and the reorganiza-
ton of its government.
Nothing was said about an American
naval station in Liberia. although that
has been proposed several times in the
past. 1t would be a great convenience
if our navy could have supply and re-
pair station on the other side of the At
lantic. but it is not believed that the
European governments would be favor
able to such a plan, and the climate Of
Liberia is altogether too hot and un-
healthy

Is Taft a standpatter,

One cannot help detecting, in the
wake of President Taft's nationwide
tour, an undercurrent of popular dis
trust in his progressive" policies.
President Taft is well versed in the
art of making platitudes seem like the
utterances of vigorous reformer.
The people like his good nature, and
are inclined to be lenient with his re-
dundant oratorical periods that sig
nifty little.
Down the Mississippi valley we find,
however, some keen critics declaring
absolute lack of faith in President
Taft's grandiloquent promises of deep
waterway national policy. They look
beyond the Presidents glittering gen.
eralities and see enthroned at Wash
ington a little company of stand
rat" senators and representatives who
are sworn enemies of any legislation
that does not bring pork" to their
barrel.
Further, they have heard President
Taft publicly hold up to popular
adulation the greatest standpatter of
them all-Aldrich of Rhode Island.
They know Aldrich, and are compelled
to modify their regard for President
who will stand sponsor for him.
The next query we are likely to hear
discussed is whether or not President
Taft is "standpatter" hlmself.--Chi.

Many of Them Earn Good Wages In
Wheat Fields of Northwest.
The small grain harvest that was
recently being finished throughout
Southern and Central Nebraska sup
plies convincing proof that the women
of the West are rapidly crowding tbs
men out of the fields OF labor and are
candidates for positions in all Of the
respectable avocations. When the Ne
braska small grain harvest opened
there was a great shortage Of male
help. Even So day, with board, lodg-
ing and washing, did not attract the
city man. A large number Of college
students went to the rescue of the
ripening grain. but the supply was far
less than the demand. Farmers be-
came desperate. The price of wheat
kept on soaring and they could not
afford to let the grain go back into
the ground. Out In Beatrice one day
Henry Wilson. farmer living nine
miles south of town, needed four men
for gathering and shocking wheat. He
offered idle park loungers S3.25 day,
but they declined to go to work. Stop.

home. Mr.. Wilson told of his troubles
to Miss Jeanette Allison, waitress.
Why don't you hire girls?" she
asked.
They would not go into the harvest
field and they would not do the work
II they could" responded the farmer.
Try then," ventured the girl.
Give me the same wages as you
would man and will go. Besides,
II do not do the work of a man l
VIII not charge you cent"
Not only did Miss Allison ride home
with Farmer Wilson that night, but
four of her girl friends went along.
The next evening Farmer Wilson told
his wife that he had never had harvest
hands that did better work than the
five girls. The second day farmers
came from miles about, saw the girls
at work, and that night many Of them

was followed by an expression of dis
tress as he noticed that she was thin

sighed for the ending of her difficult

night that for business reasons he
would be absent for several weeks
had intensified them. In short while
the pretty schoolhouse in the heart

/ A merchant In small town who saw
a farmer receive goods at railroad
station from mail order house told
him he could have sold the same goods

didn't let people know. Though he

and got 1t. Merchants and manufac-
turers who fall to advertise what they
have should not expect to compete
with those who do. The very best

had bought from him he wouldn't have
known that his advertisement had
