Loss of Reason by Accused
Woman Development of
Muscatine Baby Case.
INFANT LEFT ON DOORSTEP
Maggie Flood, Arrested as Accessory,
Loses Reason and Is Sent to
Poor Farm

Muscatine, Iowa, March 17.-Trage-
dy piled ON top of tragedy has resulted
in the loss of mind by Mrs. Maggie
Flood, arrested as an accessory IN the
Behrent baby case in which an infant
was found on the doorstep Of Chief of
Police Vanatta. Mrs. Flood was taken
into custody following the confessions
of the principals in the case. When
taken into court for a preliminary
hearing she talked necessarily and 30
incoherently that the justice was
forced to continue the hearing. Then
an examination into the woman's men
tai condition was made and 1t was de-
cided to send her to the poor farm
temporarily.
Father and Brother Gone.
It Is believed that the woman's mind
has given way as a result of series
of tragedies that have come into her
life. Several years ago her father was
burned to death in fire that destroy
ed his home and later her brother was
drowned. Her own life has been uu-
happy, and she has for some time
earned a precarious living working for
others. Since her arrest she has wept
almost necessarily.

WILL WIDEN
SIDEWALKS ON
PAAFOX SOON
SUGGESTION, WHICH GAME FROM
MEMBER OF BOARD OF WORKS,
PRONOUNCED EXCELLENT ONE
AND WILL BE ADOPTED.

Sidewalks on the east and west
aides Of Palafox street south Of Ro-
mana street will be widened consider
ably when the new pavement contem-
plated Is nut down. The matter was
brought u, asst evening by William
Fisher, a member Of the board OF
works, who called attention to the
fact taat the sidewalks on Palafox
street between Garden and Romano
streets are wide enough, but south
of Ror1ana street, the walks narrow,
and thus, in that immediate section,
there is congestion when the streets
are crowded In the least.
The plans and specifications which
are now in course of preparation by
the city engineer for the pavement
of both Palafox and Tarragora streets
win not be ready for two weeks. &C
cording TO the report made by the
engineer to the board upon request
for such information. and 1t was ask
ed II 1t was too late to provide for
wider sidewalks on that portion OF
Palafox street south OF Romano. En-
gtneer Thornton said that 1t was not
too late for such an insertion In
the specifications, but called attention

~That is Just the width of New York's

ton that Broadway has, yet would
like to see it." was the retort-
At any rate, discussing the ques-
ton, the more 1t was talked over the
more favorably were the members i'm

After talking at length over the
matter, the city engineer was instruct

SEN. BULKELEY
 PRAISES TAFT
Also Says at G. o. P. Banquet That Every Pledge in Plat
 form Has Been Redeemed

E New Haven, Sept. 17.-Roosevelt's s Taft was extolled as the equal in greatness of any President at the banquet of the New Haven Young Men's Republican Club yesterday aft ernoon. United States Senator Nor gan G. Bulke1ey. who fought tooth and nail to- prevent the Connecticut delegation frem being instructed for Taft two years ago, said in the course of his speech:
 q had the honor in the last cam paign of voting for as great a Presi- dent as we ever had-William H. Taft. You have never had a Con- gress more willing than the present one to carry out the pledges of the Republican Party. Every promise made in the platform on which Taft ran has been redeemed. The three Congresses of which I have been a member have been marked by pro- gressive development in the policy of the Republican party, and we can safely go before the people with the record we have made of pledges re- deemed.''
 Ex-Gov. George P. Mclean, who is MT. BuIkeley's rival for election to the United States Senate, said: While we in Connecticut want to conserve our coal fields in Alaska, and our water power in the Rockies, we want to conserve our common sense in the present campaign. The air is charged with the scare microbe that brought panic and poverty in 1892. We have in Taft the safest, sanest, and most sympathetic Presi- dent the country has ever had.''

Sheriff Haw1ey was not conspicuous in the final stages of the Goodwin Lake contest So far as we recall, it was the first instance of his absten- tion from active participation in scenes of Republican turmoil.
 But he was classed as for Lake dur ing the pre-convention period. and pre- sumably his machine was worked to time he gave the order, Hands off,, as in the Judson-Banks contest. it was whispered softly and unheard.
 Now, the question is, What will be the effect of his activities for Lake and Bulkeley upon his own candidacy for reelection? Will the supporters of Goodwin and Mclean deem it wise to give Sheriff Hawley the prestige of a reelection when it is reasonably cer- tain that he will use the influence of the office and the power of his ma chine against the election of Mclean to the Senate? They cannot have forgotten that he exercised a very ma terial influence in the Hill-Brandegee contest, and that but for his previous work, not even the eleventh hour ap- .pearance of Bu1keley in the field would have sufficed to defeat Hill and elect Brandegee.
 The defeat in the State convention of the faction with which Sheriff Haw- ley was allied, casts some doubt upon his ability >to secure renomination, and there are rumors that he will withdraw his name,~ but use his power in an endeavor to name the candi- E6afe

ALBANY WIDE. OPEN
 RULED BY BOSSES
New York Capital One of the Worst Governed, Deadest,
 East of Mississippi

Albany, Sept 17.-''What an oppor- tunity there is here for a Mast to draw a telling political cartoon,' said an upstate judge at the Hotel Ten Eyck the other day. First let him draw a transparent ca1dron in which can be seen a-city upon a hill crowned by a red-roofed capitol. There mustn't be any lid to the caldron, and out of the top of it the cartoonist must show great clouds of smoke Issuing. On one side he would depict Father Knfcl5er- booker and Uncle Sam holding their noses. On the other there should be shown a man with a sheer on his face, sitting squarely on the lid of the cal dron which has been cast to. one side. The city in the caldron is Albany. The man sitting on the discarded lid is Barnes.''
 That in nutshell is the whole story of Albany and it's misrule and degra- datfon. That is the true explanation of why the capital of the Empire State. instead of being a beautiful and thriv- ing municipality in which the people of the whole State can take pride. in stead of being, as it ought, to be, a model for other cities the State over, is one of the deadest and most back ward places commercially, one of the worst-governed politically, and one of the worst morally east of the Mississ- ippi.
 A man who has travelled widely and observed social conditions in every State between Maine and California, recently expressed the opinion that not a city of any size east of the Ale ghenies was run on such a, Ftwide-open'' plan as Albany. And his observations have been verified by the personal in veStigations of hosts of others
 That iii the last analysis the people of Albany are responsible for this state Of affairs can scarcely be open to ques- ition They have allowed matters to take an unusual effort now to throw off the yoke

\ MERE SOP TO


 President Taft evidently sees "the thereby Progressive successes or gains in recent elections and primaries. and Is taking the back track When he was working in concert with the t'reg- ulars'' and in apparently full co-opera- tions with AIdrich, Cannon, ct al. he withheld Federal patronage from Pro Eressive Senators and Representatives and upheld. in this way. their attempt Ito read these men out of the party. EAs may be recalled A1drich said, in substance, that the party could win without their aid; Cannon asserted that if they were Republicans, he was mot; Vice President Sherman delivered a speech, understood to have been ap- proved by President Taft, in which he undertook to read them out of the party. The withholding of Federal patronage from them was an import ant step in the process of politically : boycotting them.
 But the Progressives thrived under the ostracizing process. They stood their ground firmlys and events, soon proved that public sentiment was with them. Now. President Taft realizes his b1under. and is endeavoring to restore previous cOnQ1C1onS. It IS not possible to say which of his two con fradictory positions represents his real sentiments, but we are inclined to be- 1ieve that the restoration of Federal patronage is only intended to tempor- arily placate an outraged public senti- ment in view of the coming November elections. and that when Congress as- sen8b1es, he will be found as closely in co-operation with the A1drich-Cannon- Sherman crowd as he was during the last session.
 An attempt is being made to con- vince the people that President Taft is "progressive.,' He is most certainly not a t'Progressive'' in the present significance of the word. Never yet has he uttered a. public word in dis approval of Aldrich and Cannon. or of their acts. with the single exception of his treatment of the woolen sched- lule in the tariff law. His candidacy was satisfactory to the money. rail- 3roAd and industrial kings; he has done nothing to weaken their confidence in fhim.
 The restoration of Federal patronage is mere sop to the, Insurgent whale.

The New Jersey Democrats have fol- lowed the Connectieut Democrats in nominating the best available man for Governor. They have named Presf- dent Woodrow Wilson of Princeton college, and he has accepted. A bet ter selection could not have 'been39nade. Like Judge Baldwin in Connecticut, sN1r. Wilson is one for whom Progress ssives can conscientiously vote. and they are a power this year.
 The New Jersey Democratic platform equals the candidate in drawing power. Among other things, it advocates the conferment of rate-making power up- on the public utilities commission. This would permit the placing of rates at figures which would give fair re- turns on real capital only.
 In his speech of acceptance, pr. Will son declared for equalization of taxa tion. stating that sfcorporations should not be favored in taxation1, and as-

It is noticeable in Republican com rnents upon the Goodwin nomination that an endeavor is being made to class the candidate as representing fprogressiveness and antagonistic to l1.stand- pattisrn.'' He has said noth- ing to warrant such classification Tn fact owing his nomination princi- pally to the railroad influence. he must be classed accordingly. The only war rant for chasing him with the expon- ents of modern ideas in governmental affairs, is his youth, and that is but a slight foundation.

: The report from Beverly. the Federal summer capital that President Taft does not desire renomination and will give Col. Roosevelt a clear field for the Republican nomination in 1912, re- calls to mind the campaign story of 1908 that in forcing the Taft nornina- tion upon the party. President Roose- welt was acting upon an understanding that Taft was to reciprocate in 1912. both believing that. by providing for a Taft interim. the prevalent prejudice against third terms would be abated. The stimulation of Insurgency which is closely akin to Rooseveltisn, by the restoration of Federal patronage to it's leaders, tends somewhat to confirm the report that Taft is out of the 1912 race.
