WOMAN MURDERER RELEASED

Life Prisoner in the saltwater

About three years ago Myra Jane
Williams, a friendless girl serving .
life sentence in Saltwater peniten.
tiary, expressed to the prison
evangelist desire to have some
friend to write to. The prison preach
er got her into correspondence with
the wife of charity worker in Salt
Lake City whom he knew and this
new friend, Mrs. e. T. Mackey, made
plea for the girl before the state
pardon board which secured her re-
lease. Mrs. Mackey promised the
board that she would take the girl
into her own home and see that she
would be well taken care of.
Myra Williams, according to the
story Mrs. Mackey told the board, had
not had home since she was less
than three years old. While quite
young she married man whose repu-
tation was not good. They drifted to
Brainerd and Williams forced his wife
to an improper life. She had a baby
and one night when she had been out
drinking with three or four men and
was coming home with them she
tossed the child into the Mississippi
as they were crossing the ,dge.
She was tried and given a Ii SEN

At the prison she had a good rec

from Indiana and one of the most
prominent and consistent of the pro

departed content and smiling, but he
left it for the colonel to make an
nouncement of the proposed campaign
speech in the senator's behalf. And
this is what Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Foulke and Mr.. Swift came to
Sycamore Hill and spent the night
here. They came to request me to
go to Indiana and speak in behalf Of
Senator Beverage. I promised them
that l would"
He added that he had agreed to

evening at Sycamore Hill in their
long expected and much hera1ded con-

No word of the result was allowed to

the entire political situation in this
state was taken up. Colonel Roose-

that the defeat of the direct nomfna-

topics of discussion. Whether the

Collector Of Port Of New York
COnters With Taft
PREFERS HIS PRESENT PLACE
Former Secretary to President Roose
welt Not Anxious to Enter Race
for the Governorship.
'~s$aL4..

Beverly, Mass, july 12.-Willian
Loeb, Jr., collector of the port Of New
York, frankly told President Taft that
he would rather remain at his post fti
the customs service than to run foc
governor of New York this fall. The
president as frankly told Mr.. Loeb
that the Republican, nomination
seemed to be coming his way, and that
1t would take more than a fishing trip
to the Rocky mountains to stop it.
The former secretary to President
Roosevelt left for New York, leaving
the impression here that if it became
absolutely necessary for him to take
the Republican nomination he would
do so and would make it a whirlwind
campaign.
The mention of the New York situa
ton was incidental to talk on general
politics between the president and Mr..
Loeb. They were together in the
morning before the president went to
the Myopia links for game of golf
with Henry c. Frick, who lives near
here, and they lunched together at
John Hays Hammond's cottage in
Gloucester. After the luncheon the
talk was continued. Mr.. Taft was
anxious to hear something of the sit
uation as viewed by some one outside
of the immediate administration cir.
Gle.
FaVors Loeb's Nomination.
Mr.. Taft is not interfering in the
New York situation in any way. He
and Mr.. Loeb are the closest of
friends, and whenever Mr.. LoeBs
name has been mentioned to the presi-
dent in connection with the New York
governorship he always has enthu-
siastically approved the suggestion.
Mr.. Loeb has known this for some
time. He has known that, as far as
he could legitimately do so, the presi-
dent would bring all of his influences
to his support in anything he might
The collector discussed New York |
state politics with the president from /
various angles. Mr.. Loeb made no /
attempt to conceal the more serious
aspects of the situation from the Re-
publican point Of view. He expressed
again the belief, however, that the
would get together and
that the splits in their party would
be Offset by divisions In the Demo
cratic ranks.
Aside from the New York situation
the tariff came in for share of con-
sideration at the conference. Both

Gold IS one OF the group of metals
soluble only in that mixture Of nitric
and hydrochloric acids known as aqua
regia. 1t has been found, however.
that the presence Of certain organic
compounds renders gold soluble in nv
drochloric acid. Thus mixture Of
this acid and chloroform is found to
be a solvent. Ethyl, or ordinary al.

mol are among the other substances
which give to hydrochloric acid the
power OF dissolving gold. The solution

WOMAN is BURNED TO DEATH

Caught in Blazing House While Asleep
and Unable to Escape.
Alice Spaulding was burned to death
and five other persons narrowly es-
capped with their lives when the home
of Arthur Spaulding, near Rushmore,
was destroyed by fire.
Sleeping in the house in addition to
the woman were Mr.. Spaulding, his
wife and DR.. Rose Smith and two chill
dren of Minneapolis.
The children, after being overcome
by smoke, were thrown from a win
dow. Firecrackers are supposed to
have been the cause of the blaze.
