REEDS BELIEF
The Maine Was Blown Up by an Ac.
cident.

indianapolis, Ind, June lin an
interview today John f. Lamb, who
served in congress with the late
Thomas B. Reed, speaker of the house,
saws that Reed always believed that
the blowing up Of the Maine IN Ha-
vana harbor was the result OF acci-
dent and no way chargeable to the
Spaniards. Lamb says he was at
Palm Beach, Fla, in March. 1899. and
there met Reed and Amos Cummings,
a congressman from New York at
that time. Mr.. Lamb continued:
NATURALLY the conversation drifted
to the subject so much discussed at
that time, the Spanish war. During
the conversation l said what was be-

cent Primary Elections.
Minneapolis. June 11.-Former Sem
ator H. G. Hansbrough Of North Da-
kota sees hope for the regulars. Of
his state In the showing of the Taft
men in Iowa and South Dakota pri-
maries. At the same time he viewed
with alarm the tendencies Of the
progressive" movement which he
compares with the populist wave of
the nineties.
History is being repeated" said
Mr.. Hansbrough.
Following the enactment of the
Mckinley tariff law in 1890, in the
very face Of business revival, there
was political landslide to the Demo-
cratic party. And, as with all land
slides, great damage was done to
property. It took seven years to re-
pair the wreck. Not until after the
enactment Of the Ddngley law in 1897
did the industries Of the country at
tain to normal conditions.
The same elements that contribut-
ed to those seven years OF disaster are
again in active eruption. They were
known as populists then, and they
openly allied themselves with the
Democratic party. The result was
the election Of Grover Cleveland and
the enactment Of the Democratic Will
|son-Gorman law. ~.
"Now these historical facts should
be considered in connection with the
results Of the primary elections in
Iowa and South Dakota few days
ago. The landslide has not been SO
great this year, following the enact
ment of a Republican tariff law, as It
was In the early nineties, following
the enactment of the Mckinley law,
but it is sufficiently suggestive Of the
political happenings preceding the
dolorous days whe nthe populistio
mule was doing team work alongside
of the Democratic animal with the
long ears.
But as matter Of fact, the result
lin Iowa and South Dakota bears but
small resemblance to q landslide. The
regular Republicans there have won
out. In Iowa they nominated their
governor and selected two regulars
for congress out Of the three districts
where there were contests: there were
no contests in the other districts. In
South DakOCa Lno regulars nave iOSt
but little ground, II indeed they have
lost any.
I'm 1892, when the Mckinley law
was the issue, Iowa almost went
Democratic. South Dakota did 60

thirds Democratic and Populistic:
Cleveland and Weaver each got an

men. Porter Charlton, the young hus-
band. who was on wedding trip with
his bride up to the time of the disap-
pearance of the couple, has not yet
been located.
Constantine Ispolatoff, Russian,
who has been frequently with the
couple, is held in custody. The man
whom the police are particularly
anxious to get hold Of is in Switzer-
land, where he fled Immediately after
the murder. There is no authoritative
statement as to who he is. A post
mortem examination Of the body was
made today. This revealed the fact
that the woman died from suffocation.
Several wounds were found on the
head, Sufficient to render her uncon-
scious. but they were not regarded as
the cause of death. The victim expir-
ed some time after her body had been
wrapped in the trunk. The wrapping
had been done with strip Of cloth
and the body was crowded into the
trunk along with some letters and
personal effects. It was the latter
articles which led to the Identification.
Aside from the wounds disclosed at
the postomrtem examination, the body
showed certain abnormal conditions
on which the doctors reserved an ex-

working hard to reconstruct the mys-
terious Circumstance Of the crime. Their
Investigations show that the trunk
