PROGRESS MADE ON
SEATTLE EXPOSITION
Buildings of Alaska Yukon Pa,
cifc Show Are Ready
for Exhibits.

Seattle, Wash, March 13.-The Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition, which is
to open in Seattle on June /, is with
in 10 per cent of being a finished pro-
duct. All of the splendid structures
erected by the exposition corporation
are finished and ready for the exhibits
which they are to house, and the staff
work and last bits of o~rnamentation
being put on the structures builded by
the United States government to cover
the exhibits from Alaska, Hawaii, the
Philippines, the fisheries and the ma
tional capital.
The chief construction now going
forward on the grounds is being done
upon state buildings. Michigan has
recently begun on its handsome club
house and is rushing it to completion.
The Illinois society Of the northwest
is similarly engaged and Utah and
Nevada are among late corners. Ore
gon has added $25, 900 to it's original
appropriation of 100000 and promises
greatly TO extend it's exhibit.
The live stock show, which orig
inally was planned as a coast affair,
has grown to such proportions that
it will be as large as any ever held
in the country. Demands for entry are
pouring in from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and ne%ighboring states and the
original area of 700X300 feet, which was
to nave ben covered has been enlarged
to an area of 1,000x1 900 feet.

I. ROOSEVELT WOULD

HAYTI, LETTER SHOWS
Central America Also Should
Have Been Treated Like
Panama and Peurto Rico.

Kingstown, Jamaica, March 12.-That
President Roosevelt wished to have the
United States government Interfere In
Hayti during the last trouble there, but
that 1.-The American people simple were
not alive to the situation" became known
here through a letter from Mr.. Roosevelt
traveller and scientist, which the latter
showed to several friends at the Govern
ment house before leaving for England
after his American visit. The letter reads
The White House Washington, Decem-
berber 4, 1905. Dear Sir Harry: Just a
hasty line so that il may reach you be-
think we shall intervene in Hayti. OF
course we ugh to, but this people OF
ours simply does not understand how
things are outside OF our own boundaries.
OF course, / do not desire to act unless I
can get the bulk of our people to under
stand the situation n TO back up the
action; and 10 do that | have got to get
the facts wildly before them and clearly
before them. In Panama, Cuba, Santo
Domingo and Puerto Rico IL needed
months or years of preparation before we
could get out people TO see things straight,
and the worst OF II Is that the educated
Northeasterners are not merely blind, but
often ~malevolently blind, to what goes on.
We ought TO have interfered In Venezuela
again and again during the past seven
years. We ought to have interfered in
Central America and Hayti. In all three
places we ought now TO do something OF
the same kind that we are doing In Cuba,
Santo Domingo and Panama, according
to the exigencies of the case. But the

HANGS HIMSELF IN
MURDERER'S CELL
Harry Jones, on Trial for Van
Wrinkle Murder, Defeats
Justice.

Muscatine, Ia, March 12.-Harry
Jones. on trial here for the murder of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Van Wrinkle, De-
cember 3, 1907, cheated justice by hang
ing himself In his cell in Jail. tones
was supposed to TAX the stand today
in his own defense.
He was found this morning at z
O'Clock, hanging from the bars of the
cell, which was made by cutting up the
coverlets of his bed into strips and
then weaving them into a rope, which
he a proceeded to fasten firmly about
his neck, then stepping upon a stool
he had tied the rope to the cell bars and
evidently kicked the stool away, leav-
ing his body suspended.
The last witness presented by the
state produced a sensation.
With her sister lying cold in death in
South MuScatine, feeble, blind, and
trembling with emotion, Mrs. Nancy h.
Brewer was led to the witness stand to-
day in the Jones trial to testify against
the man she believes killed her nephew
and niece, Mr.. and Mrs. William Van
Wrinkle. Suffering with almost total
Hndnes with approaching deafness
n other infirmities of age she nerved
herself TO the supreme effort to aid the
state in calling TO Justice the man 1t
alleges is guilty of the fiendish Fairport
murder.
Her appearance on the witness tar
was the most dramatic incident eve
occurring in Muscatine. 1t was a
magnificent example of human endeav-
or, inspired through vengeance, but
with the desire that Justice be done.
Mrs. Brewer told of Jones visit to her
home the night of the murder, and tes-
titled that Jones was drunk when he
left the house for the al Wrinkle cot
tage, where he, according to his own
statement, was going to spend the
night.
Another feature of the proceedings
was the identification of the coat said
to have been worn by Jones on the
night of the murder. A piece of the
garment found In the barb wire fence
at the Van Wrinkle home on the morn
ing following the crime was identified
by John Bassett.
The murder was an exceptionally
cruel and brutal one. Mr.. and Mrs.
Van Wrinkle had only been married a
few week when, in the middle of the
night, Jones is supposed to have en-
tered the bedroom and, while they were
asleep, with a club beat the brains of
both to a pulp. The country was
secured to find the accused, and a year
afterward he was located in Milan,
Kan, and brought back to this city
for trial.
His real name is supposed to have
been Frank Beatty, under indictment
in Washington county, Pennsylvania,
for the murder of his wife five years
ago.

DECISION IN THE BUCKS
CASE SLIGHTLY MODIFIED

Washington, March 13.-The court OF
Appeals of the District OF Columbia to-
day modified and affirmed the opinion
of Justice Gould of the supreme court
district, enjoining the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, Samuel Gompers and
other defendants from publishing in
the I'VE don't patronize" list the name
of the Buck Stove and Range company,
of st. Louis.
The opinion which was handed down
by Justice Robb holds that the de-
cree OF Judge Gould should be modi-
fled to the extent hat there should be
eliminated from the decree the r~estrlc-
ton on the labor organization and 9TH
er defendants from mentioning, writing
or referring to- the business of Buck
Stove and Range company or its Gus
toners. Otherwise the decree is af-
firmed. The court holds combination"
and boycott In furtherance thereof and
the publication In W don't ~patronize"
list in aid Of boycott was illegal.
The court held that the defendants
could not be restrained from all publ
cations referring to the Buck Stove and
Range company, but only such as made
furtherance illegal boycott.
In a partial dissenting opinion, Chief
Justice Shepard took a strong stand
upholding the freedom of the press. He
said regardless of It's character or
purpose publication protected from re-
straint in my opinion by first amend
ment of the constitution which forbids
any law abridging freedom OF the
press
The chief justice held the only re-
dress Is through civil action for dam

STANDARD OIL AGENT
PASSES BAD CHECK
AS BOND SURETY

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 13.-F. w.
Palmer, formerly a representative Of
the Standard Oil company, and whose
home is in Sioux Falls, is a fugitive and
is being ooked for by the authorities
of Minnehaha and McCook counties,
who want him on the charges of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
and the issuing of a check on a bank
in which he had NJ funds.
The authorities had Palmer in their
custody, but he succeeded in regaining
his liberty by a shrewd trick. He was
arrested at his home in this city late
at night, and upon his demand that he
be taken before a justice at once so he
could furnish a bond he was taken be-
fore Judge Dickey, Of a local court, who
was routed out Of bed for the purpose.
AS bail for his appearance in the
morning, Palmer rendered a check on a
Sioux Falls bank for the sum of 5000.
When Palmer failed to put in an APP
pearance at the time fixed for his pre-
liminary hearing the check was taken
to the bank, where II was stated Pal
mer had no funds in the institution.
His family is in Sioux Falls and the
authorities believe that eventually they
will succeed in locating him. His con
nection with the local branch of the
Standard Oil company was severed
about two months ago.

Mr.. Roosevelt will be more to the
great sportsman. whose fame Is well
known to local hunters, than to the

East African sportsmen We're high
~ gratitied to learn that Mr.. Roose-
Welt had refused the offer of the al-

tent instead of confirming himself to
two elephants, two r~hinoceros, two

license. Lions and ieopards are classed
as Vermin and consequently no license
to kill them is required.
Good Hunting"
The prospects for good hunting
this season are considered excel

outlying districts, realizing the in
creasing Interest In the prospect for

HIDE NEGRO MURDERER
FROM WRATH'OF MOB

Sigouruey, Ia, March 13.-Fearing
that the mob might get John Junken.
the Colored man, who confessed to the
murder of Clara Rosen, the Ottumwa
choir singer, Sheriff Grimes, of this
place, bundled the prisoner up in q car
riage at II o'clock last night and drove
out in the country. Where he drove
is not known, for the sheriff has not
yet returned nor been lOcated.
During the evening Fred Rosen,
brother Of the dead girl, and o III other
men from Ottumwa, appeared at the
Jail and asked to see the prisoner.
They were strangers to the sheriff and
represented they were from Galesburg,
III. The sheriff consented to permit
them 10 get a glimpse of the prisoner,
but before he let them in the corridor
they were searched and four reVolNers
were taken from them. 1t developed
that they were in communication with
the Rosen vigilance committee or OF
tumwa.
1t is claimed the sheriff is on the way
to the p~enitentiary at Fort Madison
with the prisoner.
Later 1t is learned that Junken was
driven Is miles across the country TO

"Will Get Him Yet"
After the visit Of Rosen and his
companions to the jail last night 1t Is
understood that the sheriff received
orders to take the prisoner away TO
evade an approaching mob, but it has
not peer learned whether there were
others from Ottumwa than the Rosen
party.
When 1t became known that the pris-
.oner had been spirited away, Fred
Rosen remarked that they would get
him yet. It is believed that the state
ment of Governor Carroll that he would
use military force to give JunlSen q
hearing in Ottumwa has reused the
people there anew and the mob spirit
which was held in allegiance by the
probability of the negro's return there
for committal. has again become res

sion TO wreak vengeance on the wretch
for his awful crime against Clara
