ACTRESS GOES CRAZY
OVER BIC PRIZE FIGHT

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 26.-In-
sane over the Jeffries-J Johnson fight,
Kate Blancke, well known character
actress, was committed to the state
asylum at Newberg today. Since her
arrival in Cleveland last Thursday
Miss Blancke has been sending tele-
grams continually to Jack Gleason and
Tex Rickard. the fight promoters, beg
ging them to take her to the contest.
Her actions finally became so peculiar
that her relatives were appealed to,
and after medical examination she was
adudged insane.
Miss Blancke, who has played with
Vaughn Glazer and other companies,
had been recently engaged at stock
theater in Toledo. Attention was first
attracted to her behavior when she in
sisted on repeating her lines in Ger
man. She left the theater and came to
Cleveland, apparently for the purpose
of persuading a local man who is ar
ranging a special train to go to Reno
to include her among the passengers.

AMES DENOUNCES
LODGE AND SEEKS
TOGA OF SENATOR
Massachusetts Representative in
Field to Drive RooSeveIt'S
Friends from Congress
CALLS LEADER PLAIN BOSS
Says Stand Pat Chieftain'S Sole
Hope Is Machine and Aid of
Former President
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Represen-
tative Butler Ames of Massachusetts
publicly announced his candidacy for
the United States senate today in
formal statement embodying an ex-
ceptionally bitter attack upon Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge.
Mr.. Ames in his statement says he
becomes a candidate after having
failed to induce anyone else to take
up the fight against Boss Lodge and
his political machine"
The statement continues: "ThiS ma
chine, backed by all the large cor
porations and all the state and federal
patronage at it's command, has for
many years served as an efficient tool
to crush all political ambitions, en-
deavors and opinions not sanctioned by
Lodge.
His orders have gone out to crush
not only for his own political ends, but
to advance the selfish schemes of the
large railroads, banking and manu-
featuring interests he serves In the
halls of congress as well as in the
Massachusetts legislature.
SEEKS AID OF ROOSEVELT
'It Is reported that in his political
extremity, fearing to seek reelection
on his long public record in congress
and in the state, his one hope is that
Mr.. Roosevelt may create new conf
dence in his behalf by speaking for
him as an old friend. 1t is hard to
believe that the former president
would lend himself to the political sup
port of one, even though friend, who
has consistently violated all the moral
teachings of which he is the great ex-
ponent.
with direct primaries it is univer-
sally admitted that Mr.. Lodge would
have no possible chance of reelection.
The Lodge machine and lobby worked
in the senate (Massachusetts) success
fully to defeat the direct primary bill
which had passed the house.
",The defeat of Mr.. Lodge and the
termination of this machine will lend
more than anything else to party sue
cess not only in the state, but in the
nation. 1t will restore confidence in
the Republican management by divorc-
ing the legislature lobby from the po-
litical machine and by defeating a
public official who has so long served
the private interests rather than the
public good"
Mr.. Ames says he expects the Lodge
men will try to prevent pledging Of
candidates in the hope that they may
be controlled later.
To prevent this, he says, he will try
to compel every candidate in Massa-
chusetts to pledge himself to the issue
he has raised.

CHIEF WITNESS AGAINST
BURKE WILL NOT APPEAR

SAN FRANCISCO. June ~26.-Lou
Eta Smith, who was the principal
witness against DR.. William P. Burke
of Burkes sanitarium in Santa Rosa,
is in Japan and is not expected to re-
turn to this country, according to in
formation gained yesterday by Sheriff
John X. Smith of Sonoma county, on
the docking of the steamer China.
Miss Smith has been missing for
months 1t was learned from stew
ardess on the boat that she and her
infant son sailed for Japan April 10.
The woman had charged DR.. Burke
with being responsible for the attempt
made to dynamite the tent house in
which she and her child were sleeping.
The aged physician is under indict-
ment for this charge. Miss Smith also
accused him of being the boys father.
AS there is no charge against Miss
Smith nothing can be done to bring
her back to this country. The case
against DIR. Burke, which is set for
September, will, it is said now, be with
out foundation.

MEXICAN REVOLUT|ON|STS
WEODED; THEN EXECUTED

MEXICO CITY, June 26.-Two brides
were made widows a few hours after
their weddings were performed in the
pententiary at Valladolid, Yucatan,
yesterday, when their husbands faced
a firing squad selected to execute them
after trial for sedition and murder
The accusation grew out of the recent
uprising at Valladolid, which was fos
tered by those who opposed the re-
election of President Diaz.
Immediately after the death SEN
tences We're pronounced ON three
men, two of them asked permission to
marry before they were executed.
Their requests were granted, and the
young women to whom they were en-
gagged went to the prison at the hour
agreed on for the marriage ceremonies,
knowing that in a few hours the men
were to be shot.

ported at any point in northern Mex

TAFT, HUGHES AND
7. R. MAY COME
Triangular Conference of States
men Is Thought Likely to
Take Place
IAssociated Pressl

OYSTER BAY, June 26.-The embar-
go that Theodore Roosevelt has placed
on political news direct from Sycamore
Hill was not lifted today and in the
absence of any visitor who might be
connected remotely with politics there
was no new development in the stu
alton that the coming conference with
Governor Hughes has created.
There is a persistent buzz of gossip
that the most important political
gathering of recent months is to be
held this week at Beverly, Mass, or
near by.
No positive confrmatory evidence
has been produced, but much weight
is placed on three words spoken by
Roosevelt yesterday, when asked If he
expected to see President Taft at Bev-
erly after his visit to Harvard. He
said, II don't know"
His manner showed clearly his un-
willingness to discuss the question,
but he did not deny the possibility.
Governor Hughes secretary is quot
ed as having said yesterday that the
governor would see Col. Roosevelt at
Cambridge this week. 1t is thought
possible that President Taft, Col.
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes may
gather together.
Citizen Roosevelt had day of rest
today; there was not a visitor at Sag
amore Hill. The colonel spent the day
with his family, attending, with his
two younger sons, Archie and Quentin,
Christ church in the morning. Some
of his townsmen were on the lawn of
the church to receive him and he
waved his hand as he walked into the
building.
Oyster Bay has reached the conclu-
sion that the former president has
overcome at last his aversion to auto
mobiles, for he rode to church in one
today and has usen one constatly
since his return.

Winter Bird Visitors.

Last winter, Bethel village and its out
skirts were favored with the presence Of
large numbers OF redpolls with their scar
let caps and rosy breasts, pine siskins
With their mucb-striped plumage, and a
few Roldhnches in sober winter garb, all
aocking together, with now and then a
white-winged erossbill among them.
Flocks Of tree sparrows were to be seen at
times.
This winter, of the northern birds,
only tree sparrows seem to have reported
until recently. On Sunday, Feb. s, sew
eral perhaps many people were delight
ed to see companies of the beautiful white
snow bunting from the far north. The
whole flock, when the companies joined,
as they often did, must have contained
200 individuals, and their sweet ripping
notes, their playful ways while feeding,
and their wheeling flight in the sunshine
which seemed TO silver their wings, we're
beautiful TO witness.
To quote from Mabel Osgood Wright
in Bird Lore, "When these birds appear,
we may know that even il we have had
but light snowfall, there have been
great Acrtic storms that have passed of
perhaps seward, scattering the birds be-
fore their fury"
All of these northern birds are deyour-
ers OF great quantities OF weed seeds, and
are helping our farmers and gardeners, as
well as delighting our eyes.
