TAFT IS OUT OF IT.
VIII Have Nothing More to Do With
New York Politics.

Beverly, Aug. 27-Indications con-
tinue to multiply here that President
Taft's participation in the New York
state fight is ended for good. The
York and does not feel it to be the
province of the president to interfere
or dictate in local political fights.
Mr.. Taft was drawn into New York
politics reluctantly. He was glad to see
the various leaders as they called. and
trying to bring about an amicable adj
justment of affairs prior to the state
convention. This, it appears, was i'm
possible. and now the fight goes to
the convention Mr.. Taft will keep
The president. it is said, feels far
more keenly than he let it appear in
his letter to Mr.. Griscom the false
light he was placed in by anonymous
statements from Oyster Bay and New
York. He had every reason to believe
leaders close to Roosevelt knew exact
ly what his attitude was and that they
had first hand knowledge of the fact.
1t is said that Mr.. Taft had done none
of the underhand things charged
against him.
1t is pointed out here by Mr.. Taft's
friends that Lloyd C. Griscom, presi-
can committee, who stood sponsor for
Mr.. Roosevelt, was in President Taft's
library in Burgess Point when the
president sent the long telegram to
Vice President Sherman. since made
public, telling him to do nothing with
out the approval of Roosevelt which
would in any way involve the admins
tration.
Mr.. Griscom. 1t is said here. took a
copy of this telegram back to New
York with him. Armed with this mes
sage which outlined the presidents po-
sition and fresh from a conference
with President Taft which lasted near
Iy all night Mr.. Griscom went almost
Immediately to see Colonel Roosevelt.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
was thoroughly wrought up when he
read the subsequent newspaper attack
from Oyster Bay and New York. he
wrote a letter to Mr.. Griscom as a
matter of satisfaction to himself and
declared as he sent it that it was
matter of entire Indifference to him
whether it was ever made public or
not The president. in the meantime,
warned everyone connected with the
administration in Beverly to make no
reply to Oyster Bay in any way.
Soon after the recent incidents at
New York it was announced that Girls
com would visit Beverly in few days.
1t is said here that Mr.. Griscom has no
to see the president.

SUICIDE IS HIS PLEA.
BurIingame Man Proposes to Wife,
Death Under Train.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Over-
heard proposing a suicide pact to his
runaway wife. who had been detained
by the police here at his request. John
r. Parrish, a section foreman of Bur
lingame, Kansas, has been placed I'M
der arrest here. His suggestion of sui
eide, which his wife says was the sec
ond he has made to her. was over
heard by Thomas Young, officer of the
Humane society, in whose office the
conversation took place.
Because of intense jealousy, which
had caused him to forbid her to curl
her hair or adorn herself with pretty
clothing, the wife had run away. In
spite of his continued pleading she re-
fused to go back home with him today.
well, then. Ida." he said to her,
"let's go up to my hotel and I'll get
a bottle of carbolic acid and We'll both
drink it. We might as well die as to
try to live this way"
The woman screamed and Young,
who had overheard the remark. ran
in and told Parrish he was under ar
rest.
The woman told a strange story of
her married life to the police. She
said that she and Parrish had been
married for fifteen years, but, two
years ago, the husband became almost
insanely jealous.
He refused to allow her to curl her
hair or do it up in a pompadour, in
sisting that she wear it parted in the
middle and combed back tightly upon
her head. He would not allow her to
wear pretty clothes, she said, because
he didn't want her to appear attrac-
tive to other men.
"Of course I didn't care anything
about other men." the woman ex
claimed. But 1 wanted to dress as
other women do. And when I would
protest against his unreasonableness
he would get angry. He has struck
me several times because of it."
Last Saturday Mrs. Parrish decided
she would endure the situation no
longer. so she ran away, coming to
Kansas City. Her husband found her
here, talked with her a long time and
finally persuaded her to go back home
with him.
"I went back. after he had prom
ised to be good to me- the woman
continued. But he was worse than
ever and we quarreled Monday and
Tuesday. told him I was going away
again. Then he tried to persuade me
to commit suicide with him.
He suggested that we tie our hands
and feet and lie down on the railroad
refused to do it. of course But he
tied himself and threw himself down
on the track. had to call my brother
to help get him off. Yesterday 1 de-
cided to run away again."
Policemen found Mrs. Parrish at
the Union depot last night almost as
soon as she got there. Parrish had
wired a description of her and asked
that she be detained until he could
come. She spent last night in the
matron's room at police headquarters

Arrested While Planning ''to Get $780,
100000 Buried on Island"

st. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Dr. James
Alexander Dowie. who claims to be a
brother of the late Alexander Dowie
OF Zion City, Ill, was arrested by the
police here with an associate who
claims to be Bishop Schrader. They

fish and German coin. is buried, and
in consideration of his financing the
project, Corday was to receive half the
treasure when it was return to the
United States.
Dowie is said to have represented
that he was a brother of Alexander
Dowie and that the latter on his
deathbed willed to the prisoner the
island, about twenty acres. and its
treasure. He said that the treasure
was originally $40,00O,0O0 and was
buried by pirates 145 years ago and
that when Dowie built Zion City he
went to the island with a party Of as
sociates and brought back $40, 1000, 900
with which to build Zion City. It is
said that Oscar D: Mcdaniel. a candi-
date for prosecuting attorney in the
recent primary, was solicited by Cor
day to finance the project.
It has not been shown whether
Dowie and Schrader got any money
from Corday and Mcdaniel.
Clothed in velvets and Chinese silk
robes, Dowie and Schrader came to st.
Joseph from Council Bluffs last Sun
day. Dowie claims to be pope of the
Divine Catholic church and king of
the F'reeland Islands.
Schrader purports to be the divine
healer who is said to have died at
Grand Island, Neb., several months
ago. Dowie, who says he is a native
of zurich, Switzerland. says he is mere
ly awaiting a favorable opportunity to
wrest Zion City from Overseer Wilbur
Glenn Voliva and his followers.

A CASE OF PIGS IS NOT PIGS.
Attorney General Jaclzson's Office Has
Vexed Problem to Settle.

Attorney General Jackson today
called his assistant. Charlie Shukers,
into consultation to try and decide the
ownership of pig that had been
shipped from Severance in Lyon coun-
ty to Emporia The pig died in
transit Who is the owner of that dead
pig, the man who shipped it or the
man to whom it was consigned? Usual
" out of discussion is born light. but
the more Jackson turned the matter
over the larger the potentialities of the
case grew Shukers rubbed his hand
over his corrugated brow like a boy
tickling a picket fence with a stick.
Two knots appeared in the skein for
every one that had grown before. The
tangled web could not have been cut
with an ak.
1t was this way: A. who is an old
friend of the attorney general. had
come to him for legal advice. had
bought pig from Is. who lives in Sew
erance, and the pig was to be shipped
to A. who lives in Emporia. B took
the pig. which was fine $40 Berk-
shire, and expressed it to A, securing
a bill of lading for the live package.
and sent the bill of lading to by
United States mail. When the pig ar
rived at Emporia it was as dead as
the swine that jumped into the sea in
bible times. Whose pig is 1t now?
Who bears the loss? Who sues the ex-
press company for allowing the pig
to die2 Who has the title rights to
institute such a suit?
Jackson and Shukers finally decided
that the consignee was the man to
bring the suit, which is to say A, as BIS
responsibility ceased when he dropped
that bill of 1ading into the mailbox.
But on the other hand A has a kick
coming over this judgment, for he con-
tracted to buy a live pig in good con-
dition. but received a dead one. In
fact, he refused to receive it at ALL A
live pig must be delivered to complete
bill of sale.
Attorneys will be employed and this
case fought through the courts. A
controlling and regulating the ship
ment of fancy pigs by express AS a
result the transportation company may
have to employ a veterinary at all
towns along its route to test a pigs
condition when it is loaded on board
cars; its temperature will have to be
noted and an attendant furnished to
look after it en- route. When this case
has finally been decided by the court
of last resort. the publicity given it will
have aroused the country to a point
where it can never again be said that
an unsuspecting and helpless pig was
boxed up in a small circumference and
showed into a poorly ventilated ex-
ishment and allowed to die with no
friend near to make his passing easier
A may have to pay the freight for
this improved condition governing the
transportation of fancy pigs, but so
has every friend of progress paid for
the privilege of doing SO since the
