WILL
QUITE SENATE
Will Not Be a. Candidate for
Reelection Health Is
the Reason

Providence, April 19-The report
that Nelson w. Aldrich would retire
as United States senator from Rhode
Island at the expiration of his term
in 1911, was confirmed today by so
high an authority as Gen. Charles r..
Brayton, Republican national COM
mitteeman from Rhode Island.
"Under no circumstances will Sena-
tor Aldrich be candidate for the
United States senate again." said Gen.
Brayton. This is an authoritative
statement and is made after due con-
sideration by the senator, who will
retire to private life, somewhat be-
cause of i'll health
This statement followed visit by
Gen. Brayton to Senator Aldrich at
the latter's country seat at Warwick
Neck last night. Today the senator
left for Washington. Gen. Brayton in
timated that Senator Aldrich might
have a brief conference with friends
in New York on his way to the capitol
and that he might give out a more
detailed statement regarding his pro-
posed retirement after reaching WASH
ington. The senator himself just be-
fore he boarded train. said:
cannot discuss this story of my
reported retirement. If Gen. Brayton
says it's SO. he may know. Perhaps
there may be something given out in
Washington
Although the senator remarked in
response to inquiries that he was
feeling pretty WE'LL" friends who
have seen him during the visit to his
country seat. just ended, say that the
improvement in his health from his
recent trip to Florida does not appear
to have been entirely satisfactory.
Stomach trouble developed while Sen
ator Aldrich was in the west during
last winter and it is sevident that the
effects of that illness have not worn
of.
Senator Aldrich has held his seat
in the senate since 1881. when one of
the arguments used against his elec-
tion by his opponents was the charge
that he was too young for the duties
of that office. He was then not quite
forty years of age.
Neither Gen. Brayton nor any other
prominent Republican was willing to
discuss the question of a probable sue
cessor to Senator Aldrich. Among
those who have been mentioned in
this respect since the report of Mr..
Aldrich's retirement became current
are Gov. Aram ]. Pothier. former
Gov. George H. Utter and Col. Samuel
P. Colt. Col. Colt was candidate in
the contest which kept the Rhode
Island legislature deadlocked for
about year and which resulted in the
election of Senator George P. Wet

Water Route From Fort Ben.
ton to Pittsburg Is a
Possibility

Washington, April 19.-After
speeches Of q general character by
Senators Newlands and Owen, the
senate today proceeded with the con-
sideration of amendments to the river
and harbor bill.
Mr.. Newlands advocated a river
commission. under which there
should be general cooperation be-
tween the government and individuals
and between the nation and the
states. Mr.. Owen complained of the
lack Of fixed policy in making river
and harbor improvements.
By objecting to the appropriation Of
81, 100000 for the improvement of the
Missouri river from Kansas City to
the mouth Of the stream, Senator
Burton provoked speeches by Sen
ators Stone and Newlands in support
Of the provision.
Mr.. Burton said that he had every
reason to believe the money would be
expended in q haphazard and slip
shod manner. Mr.. Newlands con-
tended that the Missouri was sus-
ceptible Of navigation to Fort Benton
and said that thus could be insured a
waterway from Pittsburg to- Montana,
q distance of $500 miles, at a cost
less than that of single track rail-
road.
The Missouri paragraph was agreed
to. The bill was still pending when
the senate adjourned.

Darlington, N. D., April 19.-Justi-
fable homicide was the verdict re-
turned today by the coroner's jury in
the death of Chris Nelson, who on last
Friday was shot and killed by Mrs.
Mildred How. The affair occurred at
the How farm near Darlington but
news of 1t has been delayed because
Of the blockade caused by the storm.
On that day while Mrs. How was
engaged in the farm house In packing
some goods preparatory to shipping
for Canada where her husband had
preceded her, Nelson entered the
house. He had been engaged about
the farm for some time and when he
began talking to Mrs. How he made
the suggestion that she elope with
him. She resented his suggestions
and went into another room, closing
the door between them. This angered
Nelson and he began making threats.
Finally he declared that he would
break his way into the room and arm
ing himself with a knife he was just
about to make the attack when Mrs.
How opened the door. put the barrel
of a revolver through the crack and
fired. Nelson lived till Saturday
night.
A complete investigation Of the case
was made by the authorities and the
verdict of the coroner's jury today,
acquitting Mrs. How of any criminal
liability, was the result.

NO SPECTACULAR
PLAY FOR W0lTER
No Women Will Be Allowed at
the Trial of the Brutal
Murderer

New York, April 19-with seven
jurors in the box and the long wind-
ed examination of the talesmen ruled
out by the court, the prospects for an
early completion Of the jury which is
to try Albert Wolter for the murder of
Ruth Wheeler were excellent as the
trial was resumed today.
BY Judge Fosters instructions all
approaches to the room were guard
ed by policemen with strict instruc-
tions to admit no women and only
such men as have business with the
!court.
Wolter today appeared little more
concerned over his possible fate than

At flrst this action was Interpreted
as meaning that q decision In the
fifteen cases involving the constitu-
tionality Of the tax and already be-.
fore the court was to be postponed
until next October or later. Such an
Interpretation would mean that there
would be no judgment on the law be-
fore the date on which the tax must
be paid, June 30.
Another view, however, was that
the two cases advanced today. in

constitutionality. the application of
the law to speciic organizations. The
action lent itself to rumor that the
court has decided the question OF
constitutionality Of the tax in favor Of
the government. It was argued that
II the court had not acted already on
the cases before it, the two cases to-
day would have been set for immedi-
ate argument.
Another step In the argument was
that the court having passed on the
validity Of the law, in conference, It
would not have set the two cases for

been found unconstitutional. The ru-
NOR had no confirmation.

Vatican Denies Visit.

Rome. April 19.-From reports
which it has received from Vienna,
the vatican it is understood. does not
consider that Mgr. ]. Granite di Bel
monte Pignatelli, the papal muncio at
Vienna, visited Mr.. Roosevelt. The
contrary view is expressed on the
ground that the papal muncio refused
to attend luncheon given in honor
Of the former president by American
Ambassador Kerens, and 1t is ex-
planned that after the luncheon the
unncio called upon Mr.. Kerens and
on that occasion met Mr.. Roosevelt,
meeting which it was not in his
power to avoid.
The correspondence Romano, the
organ of the vatican, commenting on
this sincident, says:
"A most regrettable sectarian spir-
it makes people forget their obliga-
tions toward all. If the attempt made
to make the papal nucio of Vienna ap-
pear as going to Roosevelt on behalf
of the vatican is unpleasant for the
nucio, it is also unpleasant for Roose-
welt, who is thus depicted as one
gathering incidents with whoever ap-
proaches."

Urquhart's testimony, Major de-

tional Packing company fixes the
prices at which the local company
buys and sells salt meats and by-pro-
ducts. Urquhart testified that much
of the stock of his company is held
by "John Doe" and Richard Roe"
and that it's business is conducted on
