Secretary Wilson displayed lamen-
table ignorance of the affairs of one of
the most important bureaus OF his de
partment Although the country had
been ringing with the charges made by
the head of one of his bureaus against
a fellow member of the cabinet,
Wilson informed the committee that
the first he knew of the case was when
Price spoke to him about it on Dec. %,
except, possibly, something | may
have seen in the newspapers" ! know
nothing about what you are consider
ing here" he told the committee. 1t
is an open secret that the Presidents
friends feel that Wilson is dead weight
for the administration to carry. but
Judge Taft has refused to ask him to
resign. But the report has been fire.
quently published that Wilson's res
ignation would be accepted if offer
ed, which report has not been denied.
One Thing That Is Deplored.
Practical politicians of the cold
school, interested in the continuance
of republican success, deplore the ten
dency to utilize Taft's utterance TO add
vance personal interests. Mr.. Taft has
opinions and frankly expresses them in
private. possibly without much thought
as to what effect they will have when
spread abroad by interested parties.
1t is natural that conditions in New
York, which are distinctly unfavor-
able to his party, should occupy his at
tention to some extent, especially with
the congressional campaign coming on.
But there has been no evidence to state
that the president proposed to inter
fere with the factiOnal fights in New
York. Yet, by quoting his views it
was made to appear that he was back
ing Root and Hughes in the matter of
the election OF republican floor lead
er in the New York senate. The signal
defeat of the Root-IIughes combination
was therefore inevitably represented as
being in part reflection on the adj
ministration and in a way rebnke to
Mr.. Taft, who actually took no active
part in the dispute. 1t is logical that
Mr.. Root, as senator and because OF
his cabinet record, should be high in
the councils of his party in his state
and elsewhere, but those who critcise
him point out that he was never active
in republican politics until he enter
ed the cabinet, and never held an elcc
tive office until made senator. They
hold that while his brilliant qualities
of mind are undeniable, he lacks the
personal acquaintance with party con-
ditions and men necessary for party
leader in New York state. They are
willing he should represent them in
dealing with the administration and in
national matters; but not domestic. 1t
would seem that the chaotic conditions
in New York are likely to grow worse
instead of better, pending the return
from Elba."

CLOSE TO HIS DEATH.
ELLIS JONES TOOK A DOSE OF
TINCTURE OF OPIUM.
Denies He Sought to End His Life;
But Indications Point Strongly to
Attempt at Suicide; Scene in a
Room of Park Hotel at Window I;

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Every indication points to an at
tempt at suicide, but Ellis Jones, who
was close to death at Window Sunday
night, having taken a dose of tincture
OF opinum, denies that he intended
self destruction. Mr.. Jones, aged sixty
years, was formerly a resident of Lake
Crystal. OF late he and his wife have
been living at lie Sueur. On Sunday
evening Mr.. Jones reached Window, en-
gagged room at the Park hotel and
retired for the night, leaving six
o'clock morning call. AT that hour the
clerk knocked ON the door of the room
occupied by Mr.. Jones, but received no
response. At eight o'clock the land
lord was unsuccessful in arousing Mr..
Jones. At nine o'clock another at.
tempt was made to arouse the man.
Suspected Something Wrong.
Failing to get any response from
| Mr.. Jones, the landlord suspected
something wrong and forced open the
door, at the same time summoning a
physician, who, upon reaching the
apartment, stated that Mr.. Jones had
been poisoned The physician then
gave his patient an antidote. A search
of the room brought to light par
italy filled bottle of tincture of opium
Underneath dish on the table was
found note which requested that
several persons be notified. Among
the names mentioned was w. G.
I Malchow of Wilder, A. F. Strunk OF
! Window, +. /. Sherwin of Lake Crys-
tai, a. +. Caldwell, lie Sueur.
Life Is Saved
The physician succeeded i'll revivin2
Mr. Jones and saving his life. When
able to converse with those about him
MIR. Jones declared that he had had
NO intention of committing suicide. He
said that he had been considerably
worried of late and could not sleep
He took the opium to produce much
needed sleep. He said that the death
| of two of his sOns-one at Lake Crys-
| tai and another at Neutrality-suspicious.
caused him no end of worry. Mr.
Jones is wellknOwn and always has
been well thought of. His many friends
will extend their sympathy to the I'M
| fortunate man.
