Mendacity, SANDER, sensational

We can just as little afford to
follow the doctrines of an ex-

PARIS ELECTION

PARIS, April 23.-The first
ba1lotage of the general elections
comes tomorrow. 1t is generally
conceded that Minister Brands
government will be returned with
majority, but it is thought that
the majority will not be so large
as now.
The government being unpopu-
lar with the masses, may be the
object of more violent demonstra-
tion at the ballotage. About
$500 infantry, cavalry and gem
darmes already occupy points of
vantage and thousands of special
police will patrol the streets.

While an exciting mob waited
for the arrival of the Shasta Linn
tied at the railroad station last
night, hoping to see Charles Wez-
ler brought off the train, Sheriff
Morris had an automobile waiting
at the Center street crossing and
Weller alighted from the train
there, ten minutes before the
train pulled into the station.
BY previous arrangement with
the railroad officials the sheriff
had arranged to have Weller TAX
en- off the train in the outskirts
of the city to prevent demon
stration or something more SER
ious. Weller was handcuffed
when he alighted from the train
in custory of Captain Fitzgerald
and Deputy Sheriff Doten. He
was hustled into the waiting auto
mobile and ten minutes later was
locked up in the county Jail. He
Is apart from the other prisoners,
occupying a cell usually allotted
to federal prisoners.
Makes No Admissions.
Weller has not confessed to the
murder of his former mother-in-
law, Mrs. Fredericka Schulz. He
would not even admit his identity
in San Francisco, and it was only
after he was on board the train
with the Tacoma officers that he
would admit that he was Charles
Weller. He insisted to the Frisco
police that he was Charles Wag-
ner and had never even been in
Tacoma.
Weller looks badly. His face
is swollen and his eyes bloodshot.
He has not been shaved for three
weeks or so, and he Is generally
unkempt. He told Sheriff Morris
this morning that the San Fran
cisco detention place is a filthy
anair, and he asked for a bath.
Victims Son Armed.
Albert and Otto Schulz. sons of
the victim of the tragedy, were in
the crowd that waited at the
depot last night. One of them
had big loaded revolver. This
was taken away from him by City
detective Barrett, and Schulz
must explain things to the police
today. Whether he Intended to
wreck summary vengeance on
Wezler is a question. In any
event he had no legal or moral
right to carry loaded gun.
Detective Found Evidence.
Captain Fitzgerald had q num-
Der OF letters and papers that
nave more or less bearing on the
case when he arrived home last
night and Prosecuting ATTORNEY
McMurray is examining these to-
day to determine their value in
compiling evidence against Veg
Ter. Captain Fitzgerald declared
that Weller would not talk of the
staying of Mrs. Schulz, but kent
up a continual chatter about his
two little girls. Weller suffered
severe mental strain all the wav
up on his way from California and
frequently broke down and went.

TAKEN To
JAIL

Charged with deserting her 2
year-old baby girl, Leonial Vanta

band had deserted her, Beaulin

scornfully refused to accept the
hospitality offered and neglected
to care for the baby, leaving the
house for days at time.
When taken to task by her
father the girl said she would
leave and taking her little daugh-
ter to a neighbor's she disappear

Tells Of Hearing Shots.
Circumstantial evidence, by
which the state hopes to prove
Mrs. Kvalshaug's completely in the
murder of her husband, was In
troduced when OFFICER J. e. Dar-
nell, the first person to see the
body after the tragedy, was called
to the stand.
Darnell stated that he was
few blocks away from the scene
of the. murder talking with J. 8.
Web when they heard three shots
fred in rapid succession, followed
by a number of shrill screams.
In about FIVE seconds he said
two more shots were heard. He
then described the finding of the
body and that of his visit to the
Kvalshaug home. In answer to
his question as to whether Mrs.
Kvalshaug knew of the tragedy
he told the Jury she said she did
and knew Of no one who could be
guilty of such a crime.
Attorneys Burmeister and Kelly
entered into word war over the
testimony of Officer DarnelI, the
attorney for the defense hotIy

want any of his insolence." It
was necessary for the court to re-
store order.
The defense tried hard to shake

little success.

PARIS, April 23.-Before an
assemblage of distinguished edu-
Gators and students which taxed
the capacity of the hall of the
University of Sorbonne, former
President Theodore Roosevelt to-
day delivered the first set public
speech since his return from the
wilds of Africa.
Roosevelt today discarded his
famous nose glasses and purchas-
ed a new pair from leading oc-
culist of Paris.
Later he went to the Academy
of the Sorbonne where a dinner
of seventeen covers was laid.
The guests included French AM
bassador Jusserand and American
Ambassador . to France Bacon.
Fifteen hundred invitations will
be issued for a sub-receptioh at
the Sorbonne.
citizenship in a Republic" was
the subject of Mr.. Roosevelt's ad-
dress, and he was given the clos
est attention by his audience
which frequently broke into en-
thusiastic cheering as the former
American president brought out
some especially forceful point.
Roosevelt's speech at the Sor-
bonne in Paris today is the first
important utterance-important
for American consumption-since
the ex-president sailed away for
African jungles one year ago.
That is none the less the stren-
uous individual that he was when
he was in the White House may
be gathered from these excerpts
from his speech today:
My position in regard to money
ed interests can be put in very few
words. In every civilized society
rights must be carefully
guarded and in a great majority
of cases human rights and prop
erty rights are Fundamentally in
the long run, identical.
But when 1t clearly appears
that there Is real conflict be-
tween them, human rights must
have the upper hand for property
belongs to man and not man to
property.
Let the man of learning, the
man of lettered leisure, beware of
that queer and cheap temptation
to pose to himself and to others
as the cynic. as the man who has
outgrown emotions and beliefs.
the man to whom good and evil
are as one. The poorest way to
face life is to face 1t with a sneer.
It is not the critic who counts;
net the man who points out how
the strong man stumbIes. or
where the doer or deeds could
have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man who Is
actually in the arena, whose face
is married by dust and sweat ana
blood.
Shame on the man OF cultivat-
ed taste who permits refinement
to develop into fastidiousness
