CONSP|RE To DE.
bAUCH VOTERS
Jos. Sibley, Candidate for
Congress Spent Too Much
to Secure Nomination.

Franklin, Pa, Aug. 23.-Joseph
c. Sibley, who withdrew as a candi-
date for congress on the republican
ticket in the 28th Pennsylvania dis
trict, was arrested last night on a
warrant charging conspiracy to de-
bauch voters" He was released on
his own recognizance to appear be-
fore the justice of peace at Warren
Aug. 26th.
His arrest was result of his fig
ures filed in obedience to a legisla-
tive act requiring public statement
of candidates expense account.
Sibley spent $4,000 in Warren
county to gain the nomination and
in the entire district $4,000 was
spent, which, according to the pop.
ulation averaged 81 a vote.
In the same warrant three other
prominent politicians of the same
district are also charged with con

The revelation made has brought
about an audit of Sibleys campaign
expenses on complaint of William ]
Breene, his democratic opponent.
A few of Sibley's friends say he
told them about his intention two
weeks ago, and they did everything
to induce him to change his mind
but without avail The plight in
which he has left his pol ;tical CO.
workers is far from pleasant. They
staked their power and influence tc
land Sibley the nomination, and now
they face political oblivion, for it is
doubtful If Sibley sympathizer is
named as his successor.

E. V. Couche, One of the
Leading Members of
Liverpool Exchange.

E. V. Couche, one of the leading
members of the Liverpool stock ex-
change, was in Wenatchee and spent
the day here yesterday in company
with his brother, DR.. ]. B. Couche,
of Twisp. They left this morning
for the up-river country, where they
will spend a fortnight. Mr.. Couche
is already a heavy owner of Methow
valley property, having purchased
$50 acres through his brother some
time ago. 1t is probable that he
will enter heavily in other invest
ments in the upper country.
In speaking of the valley, Mr..
Couche said: ''Of course, / was sur
prised. I did not believe it were
possible to produce such values from
a single acre as l have found in this
valley. I have been reading through
the columns of the World for the
past two years the results of fruit
growing in this part of the state.
So far as l have seen the stories told
of fruit growing in this section have
not been over-estimated. l must
say was greatly surprised to find
it possible to produce $1,000 of fruit
on an acre in a single year.
DR.. Couche, of Twisp, met his
brother here and during the after
noon they made a trip over the val
ley. The doctor is also heavily in
terested in properties in the Methow
valley He states that 1000 acres
of orchard have been planted in the
MethoW valley this year, and that
next spring another large acreage
will be planted.

112 Trout i'm 3 Hours.

L. G. Olds and Robert Hawkins
went up the Mad river Sunday about
eleven miles above the point where
it empties into the Entiat river.
They had much difficulty in making
the trip, passing through a country
where no trail could be found. But
their reward was plentiful when
they reached a spot which has not
been discovered by many fishermen.
Throwing his hook into the stream
at 9 a. m, Odds landed 112 speckled
beauties before the quit fishing at
3 p. m. Hawkins did almost as we'll
also.

NO SECOND CHOICE
FOR SENATOR
Supreme Court Holds
Against Contention Ad-
vanced by Duryea.

Olympia, Wash, Aug. 23.-"From
an investigation of the entire act we
are convinced that the legislature did
not intend that the second choice
provision of the direct primary law
should extend to or include the office
of United States senator, and the
writ is accordingly denied says the
supreme court today in deciding the
case of Schuyler Duryea, of Everett,
against the secretary of state.
The decision is written by Justice
, Rudkin and concurred in by Justice
Morris, Fullerton, Dunbar, Clark,
Chadwick, Crow and Parker. Secre-
tary of State Howell today is certify
ing to the county auditors the list
of declarations filed with him for the
primary election with a note of this
decision.
As to Method of Voting.
Although the court said of the law
1.-The form of ballot there given fol-
lows literally the provisions of the
section preceding it, the judges had
in mind solely the senatorial matter,
for in regard to the other Offices the
sample ballot attached to the primary
law omits a most important provi-
sion. Because of the fact that the
second choice is something new to
the voters and a mistake, such as
failure to vote for both choices, rem
ders the entire vote void, the legis-
lature in the written portion of the
ceding the ballot form declared that
on the ballot, where there are two
choices, should be distinctly printed
the following directions to the voter:
Dilemma for Voters.
ITO vote for a person for first
choice mark a cross (X) in the first
square at the right of the name of
the person for whom you desire to
vote to vote for person for second
choice mark a cross (X) in the sec
ond square after the name of the
person for whom you desire to vote. !"
This is omitted in the sample bal
lot shown in the law, which simply
says ITO vote for a person mark
a cross (X) in the square at the right
of the name of the person for whom
you desire to vote"
If voter follows this direction
and marks the cross to the right in
both first and second choice columns
for one person the vote is void and,
similarly, it is void if he fails to in
dictate both first and second choice.

President Taft Throws
Light on New York Poll
tics by Open Letter.

New York, Aug. 23.-'I am very
much pleased with President Taft's
statement. 1t makes the situation
perfectly clear. If Nassau county
wishes me to go to the state conven-
ton l shall go. l regard the issue
as clear cut and as far as l am con-
cerned there can be absolutely no
compromise.
This declaration was made here
this morning by Col. Roosevelt few
minutes before his departure for the
west This statement was made as
a result of President Taft's state
ment that there was no cabal against
ex-PresideEt Roosevelt.
President Taft and ex-President
Roosevelt are fellow workers in the
same political field. The newspaper
guess that they might pull apart has
been fOrefended by full explanation
on one side and an unreserved ac-
ceptance on the other.
The president made it plain in a
letter given out here today by Lloyd
G.. Griscom, chairman of the New
York republican county committee.
how the misunderstanding arose.
President Talks.
He explained that he never took
any part in a committee cabal to de-
feat Col. Roosevelt for temporary
chairman of the republican state
convention. On the contrary, he eX-
plicitly deplores the result of the
committee meeting, which chose Vice
party leaders who have permitted it
to go abroad uncontradicted that
the president of the United States
was behind their factional prefer
ences; he insists that at every oppor-
tunity he advised the fullest confer
ence with Roosevelt, and he explains
that he has been panied by the "col-
umns OF unfounded stories in news
papers concerning my attitude in re-
spect to the New York situation"
Telegraphs to Sherman.
In the course of the correspond
ence, there comes out a telegram
from the president to the vice presi-
dent, hitherto withheld. but of which
mention nevertheless had crept into
print. In substance the president in
formed Timothy l.. Woodruff, repub-
lican state chairman, and William l..
Ward, of the national republican
that the thing of all
others that ought to be avoided is
any controversy in the convention"
Griscom Fiery.
He asserted in som any words that
some of the old guard are not seek
ing republican success at the COM
ing election; they wish to perpetuate
their control of the republican Or
ganization at any cost to the party"
And he goes on to particularize
that in such event they would have
beer glad to unload defeat on the
shoulders of the president on the
ground that he had ignored the poll
cies of Hughes and snubbed Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the very men whom
they had consistently opposed at
every turn. Lastly he charges that
in the last two legislatures there had
been disgraceful alliance between
Tammany hall and some of the old
guard leaders,

given out at Oyster Bay, explains
what had been the course of his

and how, after his successive rebuffs,
he had felt that further Overtures

ENGINE TAKES LIFE
Of YOUNG ITALIAN
Awful Death Today Noon in This City-Justo Viando
Attempted to Cross Track in Front of Engine,
Caught and Body Cut in Two-Was Employed by
Sewer Contractors and Was Going Home to Dinner.

Justo Vilando, young Italian,
twenty-one years of age, lost his life
today noon by being crushed and
dismembered by freight engine at
the foot of Palouse street.
Vilando was employed by the
street sewer contractors and was az
tempting to cross the tracks to the
Italian camp on the east side. The
engine was switching north. The
Wenatchee warehouse building OBJ
scured the view of the speeding en-
CINE in charge of Engineer Swanson
and Fireman Lyons. The Italian
was struck by the engine and his
body cut completely in two, both
legs being severed together with the
lower part of his abdomen.
Dr. Culp reached the scene of the
accident within a few moments but
the man was beyond human help.
lie was taken by the ambulance Of
the Wenatchee Undertaking company
to the hospital but expired in a few
moments.
Immediately after the accident a
large body of men hurried to the
scene. 1t was an awful one which
met their view. The young man
with his pale face was conscious and
remained so for fifteen minutes. He
cried out in Italian: ''Oh, raise up
my leg. I'm going to die! Raise
UP my leg!" These EXPLANATIONS
with others made the spectacle a
heart-rending one.
o. l.. Parker Saw Accident.
o. L. Parker, of the Eagle Trans
fer company witnessed the accident.
His description of it is as follows:
Il was on the west side of the
track and saw the engine as it struck
the man. He had just left the ditch
for the sewer and was heading across
the track toward the east and he
seemed to be looking down.
Twice after the engine had pass
ed over him he raised clear up on
his hands. Before the engine struck
Switchman Winters, who was on the
other track, south of the scene OF
the accident, made frantic motions
for the engineer to stop, but it seems
he did not see him."
The dead man worked for some
time for Jack O'Connor, and is said
to have been one of his best men.
The home of the young man was in
Venito, Italy, and he had been in
this country a number of years.
There are two camps of Italians
in the city-one from North Italy
and one from South Italy This man
was from South Italy. Both camps
are greatly worked up over the af-
fair.
One of the Italians said: "They
most kill my brother; if da had, me
would takka da knife
An inquest will be held over the
remains. Both the engineer and
fireman regret the death, but say
that it was unavoidable.

0KAN0GAN LAND
MOVES
J. G. Gay Tells of Opportuni
ties in the New Country
to the North.

1t has just begun to dawn upon
the people of Wenatchee what there
is in the great Okanogan country.
For years and years the Wenatchee
land lay uncultivated. Six years ago
was the waking up period. In
similar manner the real possibilities
in the Okanogan country have just
begun to percolate through the
minds of the Wcnatchee people.
J. C. Gay, of the Pioneer Realty
company of Okanogan, is in the
city at the Elman hotel. Mr.. Gay
was formerly sales manager for
buggy company in the east. He was
induced by A. T. Wells, of the firm
of Wells & Morris, of this city, to
cast his lot in the Okanogan. Mr..
Gay is now a grower with headquar
tiers in the town of Okanogan. He
has 40 acres planted to orchard and
is devoting part of his time to real
estate Discussing the conditions in
the upper country, Mr.. Gay said:
There were 125,O00 trees plant
ed this year The same number was
planted last year and nearly all Of
these people who are planting orch
ards are home builders. They are
all planting commercial orchards.
There are $4,000 acres of choice fruit
land along the Okanogan river, the
principal part of which is being
brought under irrigation. Already
ten miles of river frontage south of
the town of Okanogan has changed
hands within the past nine months
One of the buyers was the firm of
Wells & Morris, of Wenatchee, which
purchased 100 acres recently.

other big impetus to the country.
The railroad is now being graded, as
you know, and the cars will be run
ming next year.
Plans for Publicity.
Discussing plans for publicity Mr..
Gay said: I'VE raised a funds of
$500 last week for publicity pur-
poses. One hundred dollars of this
will be expended for a booklet to be
published Jointly by Wenatchee and
Okanogan."
