Judge Smith McPherson and Federal
Court Decided that Case Was
Not Government
Crime
HEARING AT DAVENPORT
travelling Man Who Took Minister'S
Pocket Book Told Most PitifuI
Tale Before the
Court.

Elton A. Cook who pleaded not
guilty to the charge of larceny from
the Keokuk government building, be-
fore the federal court in session at
Davenport, Wednesday, was released
yesterday, with sentence pending on
his behavior.
The Keokuk attorneys and wit
nesses, who We're in Davenport to tes-
ttfy against Cook in the charge Of
taking the pocket book from the writ
Ing desk in the corridor of the post
office several weeks ago, say that the
hearing and trial were among the
most pitiful that they had ever heard.
Cook was overjoyed to hear of his
conditional release and there were
tears In his eyes as he thanked the
men who had helped him to once
more gain his liberty.
The federal authorities decided that
the case was not one with which the
government had to deal, because the
money and purse taken by Cook was
not government property. In case 1t
had been. the travelling man would
probably have been handed sentence
OF from one to five years by Judge
Smith Mcpherson.

BALLINGER ON
THE STAND TODAY
Said That CLAWS Deliberately Lied to
tie Congressional
Commission

WASHINGTON, April 29-That L.
R. CLAWS deliberately lied to the con-
gressional investigating committee
was the accusation made today by Sec
Rotary Ballinger, testifying in his own
behalf. He said:
That when he clear listed the Cum
ningham Alaska claims he acted prop
erly and would do the same thing
again. That he never had had any in
terest in Alaska lands; that CLAWS
was never hampered, but was pam
pered in his work; that UP to the time
1 he became land commissioner he new
er had one of the Cunningham land in
terests as a client; that Special Agent
1 H. 7. Jones swore falsely in his testi-
mony before the committee; that he
only took the job as land commission
er because Roosevelt and Garfield
practically forced him to consent.
/ When Ballinger took the stand At
I torney Brandeis renewed his request
that the attorney general be asked to
produce drafts of his summaries of the
| CLAWS charges. s's'7s Ta
Ballinger, who apparently was per
fectly at ease, briefly outlined his pub
lie service while in Washington, pay
/ ing particular attention to the time
when he was mayor of Seattle,
Ballinger said he had heard favora
bly, of H. X. Love, special agent, bu
not of Jones, whom he said was {
knocker.

PRESIDENT TAFT's APPEAL.

An urgent call for all republicans
to forget their differences after the
nominations Of their party have been
made, and to unite in trying to elect
republican nominees, and thus insure
the further carrying out Of platform
promises is made in the letter which
President Taft has written for use in the
republican campaign text book. The
letter, addressed to Chairman William
B. Mckinley OF the republican con-
gressional campaign committee, at
the headquarters in the st. James
building, New York, was given out
Saturday. II virtually takes the place
of party platform in the campaign
for Congress this fall, and it is evil
dent the president intends it for such.
In his appeal for harmony Mr.. Taft
says: Differences within the party
were manifested in the two sessions OF
the present Congress, and yet never in
its history has the republican party
passed and become responsible for as
much useful and progressive legisla-
ton. So, while issues will doubtless
arise between members of republi-
can majority as to the details of fur
Their legislation, the party, as whole,
will show itself in the future, as in the
past, practical and patriotic in subord-
mating individual opinions in order TO
secure real progress. Hence it is inn
portant that after republican congress
sional candidates have been duly and
fairly chosen, all republicans who be-
lieve in the party principles as declared
in its national platform of 1905 should
give the candidates loyal and effective
support. If this is done, there will be
no doubt of a return Of republican

MAYOR GAYNOR.

Just 10 days after he had been shot
and desperately wounded on August g.
Mayor Gaynor left st. Mary's Hospital
in Hoboken and returned to Deer
Wells, his home at st. James, l.. /.
yesterday.
Before leaving the hospital the
mayor briefly addressed a number OF
orphans who had gathered in the hos
pital yard to bid him farewell, and on
his arrival at st. James he was heartily
cheered by his neighbors and friends.
The steps Of the mayor were totter-
ing, a condition he, said, was due to
lack of exercise" but he declined as
sistanee even though he found the
task OF entering the automobile some
what arduous
Arriving at st. james, the mayor at
tempted to spring into his automobile
but he miscalculated his strength and
fell TO his knees. After that Mrs.
Gaynor took his arm aud despite her
husbands protests assisted him to the
car.
Il am content" said the mayor,
making his first public allusion to the
attempt to assassinate him. My
great hope is that the event will make
me better man and more patient and
just.
The mayor appeared anxious to say
more, but he restrained himself point
ed to his bandaged throat, and his visi-
tors left him.

The PresIdents Programme.

Beverly, Aug. 29.-That President
Taft is not overlooking the possibility
that the republicans will not control
the next House OF Representatives is
strongly indicated at the summer capt.
tai. He is actively preparing his pro-
gramme OF legislation to be submitted
to the short session OF Congress, which
meets on December /. This will COM
promise all of the bills carrying out
the party platform pledges not already
enacted into law and every effort will
be made by Taft to force them
through.
Past short session has been one
exclusively for appropriation bills
and departmental measures, but this
winter this will be changed. President
Taft has already started his campaign
to bring the insurgents and regulars to-
gethcr in his plan OF party re-
organization" recently announced,
having been designed to salve the feel
ings OF the insurgents and get them
into harness for the administration
bills.
The president wants to clear up the
contested schedules Of the tariff bill,
and he made it plain in his letter to the
chairman OF the republican congress
sional committee, published today, that
he thinks a special rule should be
adopted by Congress which will permit
Of the revision OF the tariff on the re-
port Of the tariff board, byschedule with
out disturbing the entire law at one
time. He expects opposition to such
rule, however, from the Senate.
President Taft is determined that the
bill permitting the federal incorpora-
ton Of concerns doing an interstate
business shall be passed at the short
session which by law closes at noon on
on March OF next year.
1t is admitted here that the congress
sional leaders have warned the presi-
dent that the prospects Of republican
house are uncertain and for that reason,
if he hopes to keep the party pledges,
he may be forced TO get all OF his need
ed legislation during the three month
session
