Proeressives or Regulars, which,

We have, then, three great forces
in THE Republican situation, Roose-
welt, LaFollctte and Taft. i,
All summer President Taft had
been engaged in an attempt to har.
monize the progressive wing with the
standpatters. He had sent Senator
Crane, of Massachusetts, westward to
effect such harmonization; he had
dispatched his private secretary,
Charles Norton, on the same mission.
But the conflict was as irrepressible
as that which brought on the Civil
War; the progressives had for the
time parted company with the stand
pattcrs; and within the Republican
party was being fought a war which
must inevitably resul tin the elimina-
ton of one of its elements.
Either the progressives or the reg.
ulars must dominate in the National
convention OF 1912. There could be
no compromise. The movement Tor
popular government. in which Ore
gon and Wisconsin had led the way.
had gained the necessary momen-
tum that some medium had to be de-
veloped to carry that movement to
its full fruition. II the progressives
won control OF the Republican par
ty, probably that party would be en-
trusted by the American people with
the task of governing the country
for the ensuing period. II the stand
patters procured the ascendency. then
the forces which had been generated
would turn elsewhere. Nor the wan
ing of the popularity of any man
could stop it. 1t had gone beyond the

WROUGHT UP
over BRUTAL MURDER
Suspicion of Killing Girl Rests
on Negro, Who Denies
Being Guilty.

Asbury Park, n. Y, Nov. 16.-This
city neighborhood We're in a fer
ment of excitement today over the un-
earthing of a brutal crime revealed
when the mutilated body of ~9-year-old
Marie Smith, who has been missing
from home for four days, was discov-
cred in the woods near the home.
Thomas Willimas, a negro, is held on
suspicion. Marie Smith was a pupil
at the Bradley schools, which she left
for her home in mid afternoon Wednes-
day last. She was not again seen alive.
Searching parties hunted for days in
the woods near by. Yesterday the body
of the child was found half hidden by
LEAVES.
Evidences of a struggle were all
around. There was a deep cash in the
little girls les Her body was other
wise disfgured and it was evident that
she a been mistreated. The girls
Imother collapsed when she saw the
body, and is in a critical condition.
The police were told that Williams
had been chopping wood in the vicin-
ity that morning. When they went to
question him he had disappeared. Last
night, however, he was located and ar
rested in his home in Asbury Park. A
bloody towel found on the premises was
seized for evidence as was a nicked AK
Williams had used in his wood chop
ping.
Williams denies any knowledge of the
crime.

NJ E:XICAN LYNCHINCS
UP TO the GOVERNORS
Haskell and Campell Will Try

washington, Nov. 16.-The fulfill
ment of President Taft's promise to
President Diaz to bring about the pun
lshment of the persons who burned the
supposed Mexican Antonio Rodriguez
at Rock Springs, Tex. and to protect
Mexfcans in this country, appears to
depend on the good will of the governors
of Tex and Oklahoma.
Governor Campbell, of Texas, already
has promised to make an investigation
of the lynching, and a telegram re-
ceived at the state department last
night from Governor Haskell, in an
swer to an urgent request from Secre-
tary Knox to guard the safety of Mex
leans in Oklahoma, and particularly to
prevent any attempt to lynch the man,
supposed to be q Mexican, who killed
the chief Of police at Anadarho, pledges
the governor to comply with the re-
quest.
The state department has not been
able to confirm the report that Rod
riguez was not a Mexican, but a ma
tive-born American, but it is expected
Investigations now in progress will
clear that point.

in the City of Mexico, informs the state
department that throughout Mexico

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found a better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about TWEEN
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart / was
nervous and extremely respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble end constipa-
ton.
THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then l became less respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof of renewed physical and
mental strength.
"I am steadily gaining In physical
strength and brain power. i formerly
did mental work and had to give it ur
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

WOMAN KILLED in
A BRUTAL MANNER

Z MAY Be Laid at the Door
OF an Elk Convict.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-Beaten be-
yond semblance to q human form, he
body OF an aged woman was found to-
lay in a vacant lot next to the Savoy
theater in the center OF the business
district of this city. John Knapp, an
sx-convict, Is in Jail charged with
murder.
On his work today, Frank Smith, a
Iteamster noticed what appeared to be
a bundle of clothing behind a bill board.
and on investigation discovered the
body. Detectives found Knapp stand
Ing in front of a stable where he is
employed, no more than SO feet from
the place where the body lay. He was
placed under arrest and in his room in
The stable the officers found a window
weight smeared with blood n knot
ted gray hair. Some of Knapp's dis
carded garments were covered with
blood and the collar and vest he Wore
when arrested were spotted with bloody
Anger prints.
Trail of Blood Found.
A trail was discovered over which
the woman had been dragged from the
stable to he lot where the body was
found.
A photograph OF a woman found in
the room in the stable bears a striking
resemblance to Knapp. and he has ac-
knowledged that it is a portrait of his
mother, Mrs. Sophia Knapp, of San
Jose, Cal. The officers are inclined to
believe the victim was Knapp's mother.
Knapp is 81 years old has a criminal
record, having served 13 years in Fol-
som penitentiary for the murder of
James Quinn, of Humboldt county, in
a gambling quarrel.

His Life in Solitude-His
Mental Condition Is
Suspected.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. ia private
message received here from Tula says
that Countess Tolstoi twice attempted

intention to spend the remainder of
his life in solitary retirement.
The cou1 is SO years old, and
