CHAPTER XIX.

The Jeffries case suddenly entered
into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed of sufficient public
umn of spicy comment in the news
papers. The town awoke III morn
ing to learn hat the long-sought-for
witness, the mysterious m on
whose testimony everything hinged,
had not only been found but proved
to be the prisoners W wife, who
had been so active in his defense.
This announcement was Supplying
enough to overshadow all other news
OF the day. and satisfied the most
jaded palate for sens%ationalism.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal of
somewhat yellow proclivities. was log
ical enough. The telling of her mid
night visit to a single mans rooms
involved a shameful admission which
n woman might we'll hesitate to
make unless forced to it as a last
extremity. Confronted, however. with
the alternative of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime of which
he was innocent or making public ac-
acknowledgement of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
urally, II meant divorce from the bank
er's son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family.
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson to reckless young men Of
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves iE undesirable matrimonial ad-
ventures. But 1t was no less certain.
went on this journalistic mentor. that
this wife, unfaithful as she had proved
herself to be. had really rendered her
husband a signal service in her pres
emit scrape. The letter she had pro-
duced, written to her by Underwood
the day before his death, In which he
stated his determination to kill him
self, was. Of course. a complete vindi-
cation for the nan awaiting trial. His
alteration now depended only on how
quickly the ponderous machinery Of
the law could take coguizance of this
new and most important evidence.
The new turn of affairs was nat
urally most ~distasteful to the police.
If there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt. Clinton it
was to take the trouble to build up a
case only to have it suddenly demol-
ished. He scoffed at the suicide let
ter" safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody. and openly branded 1t
as a forgery concocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose of defeating
the ends of justice. He kept Annie q
prisoner and deied the counsel for
the defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster, who loved the fray, accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly.
He secured Armies release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit
against the city having already begun
in the courts, he suddenly called Capt.
Clinton to the stand and gave him

MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE BROKE

Mrs. Theodore Perry Shonts, moth
err Of a duchess and wife of an Ameri-
can millionaire, recently found herself
in Paris unable to leave her apart
ment, which she must vacate at once,
according to the lease, on account of
not having money to pay the usual
charges made when a tenant quits.
Mrs. Shonts rented an apartment on
the Avenue Hoche several years ESQ
at an annual rental of $500, exclusive
of taxes and other charges which
would run the figures much higher.
Obeying an urgent. imperative sum
mons from her husband to return to
America, she gave notice that she
would not enc the lease when the
time expired.
The difficulty with her husband
caused him to stop sending the usual
remittances and when a bill for S4OO
was presented by the landlord to pay
for damages done to the apartment
during the term of the lease, Mrs.
Shonts found herself without money

TO SAVE ELK FROM
 EXTERMINAT ATION

spokane, Wash, August 23.-(SpecialD sportsmen and former cowboys from va rous parts of eastern Washington and central Idaho, including Edward Beck and Ray Hester formerly of the Bank of Commerce, and Roy Hoagland of Lewis ton Idaho, have gone to Jackson's Hole, Wvo.. to assist the state game wardens, limited States cavalry soldiers and ranch CTS in rounding up between 25,00o and 30,- 00o 9lk and driving them to less settled territory.
 Old-timers in Spokanessay roundup is a difficult task at this time of the year. hut the game wardens think this is the only way to save the, bands from being exterminated, as the restriction of the onen range has resulted in the loss of fully 5000 animals a year by starvation, despite the fact that fodder has been pro- vided by ranchers in the district, and the legislature of the state of Wyoming.

Discusses Part Democrats Played in Extra Session
 Tariff Revision
REFERS TO VETOES
 WITH BITTER IRONY
Makes Principal Speech at Dinner Given by National Italian Demo- cratic League at Which He
 Was Guest of Honor

New Lork, August 9 Special. .--Oscar w Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives was the guest of honor this evening at the first annual dinner 1T the National Italian Democratic league, a dinner conceived and brought about within IS hours and originally designed to be held in honor of all the democratic members of that committee.
 MT. Underwood, however, was 'he 'niy member who could get there, although several of his colleagues in the House sat at the speakers table.
 Mr. Underwood made the principal speech of the evening. He devoted it al- most entirely to discussion of the tariff and particularly of the part the demo cratic members of the special session played in the history of tariff revision.
 With this as his subject he made an unsparins. if gentle spoken, criticism of Mir. Taft, whom he never referred to by name, but always by titA. His soft, southern speech showed unexpected ca pacity for ironic infection when he con- trasted the part the democrats played with reciprocity and the part the Presi- dent played with the tariff measures sent him toward the close of the ses- sion.
 There was bitterness In his voice when he spoke of the tariff board. 'TodW your President has notified the Congress of the United States in a solemn message that they must stop, that they must not obey the twice given command of the American people to revise the tariff downward. And why?" he asked. Be cause certain clerks, not authorized by Congress and called a tariff board only by courtesy, were not ready to report.
 He said that the time had come when a restricted tariff wall can no longer oe- velop the great resources of the United States and aaye his own creed as tariff for revenue only
 But my friends he said, when We come to do it, let us remember that there are two ways to flower a house. You can cut the underpining out from under 'i etlt r~ss ot ear 1dTer 3''p t0itr wleH '.

The Conservative Way

The AconSerNative5 way, not to inture the great business interests of the country aud to aeqorn pish the result desired, is the jack-sEtew method. and | can pledge to ou. believe, with absolute confidence. that If yos. return to power at the next election a democratic administration you will have one that will keep every pledge and yet do So in conseryative way with out injury to the American people
 Speaking of the efforts of the democrats to get through a free list bill that would relieve the consumer of food and cloth ing and of the Presidents veto of that bill, Representative Underwood spoke in- tenty.
 My friends" he said, Eve have pre- scented to him all the important schedules of the tariff bill-the wool, the cotton, the iron and steel, the chemical, and the free list bill. There are other schedules of importance, but he has vetoed every bill that we have sent him. He has in- dicated that he would sign no other bills except those which were dictated by his tariff board and not by the representa- tlves of the American people. (Applauseo
 We have temporarily closed our books. We do not propose to unduly agitate the business interests of this country. We wait with patience for the Presidents message next December, The President of the United States has failed to keep the promises of the republican party to lower the tariff and through the Payne bill he failed to keep the President pledges to the people. He vetoed the bill that we need, even through republican center for the relief of the people of the United States and l say to you candid ly, my friends. that we do not propose to compromise this great issue. If the President is willing to give honest, fair and just relief to the American people the democratic Congress Is willing to up- hold his hands, as we did in the instance of the reciprocity pet (Great applause), but If we are told to pass restrictive pro hibitive tariff bills that are only a make shift and not revision downward, we carry this great question to the American people and confidently await their yer oict at the next general election" Great appause).
 MT. Underwood arose to speak amid boisterous greeting and shouts and cheers and waving napkins. He sat down to more of the same cordiality. enivened from the orchestra by the strains Of Dixie Here and there in the room you could see a man chuckling, for near the close of his speech the Alabamian for got himself and referred to the American flag with much feeling as the Stars and Bars"

CANNING Factory s
FOR HARTFORD
If we will Get Busy at
Once.
Farmers Club Met Saturday and
Took Question Up---Hartford
People Should Act.

The Ohio County Farmers Club met
at thecourt house Saturday and the
attendance at this meeting was bstter
than evar before. and much enthusi-
asm was manifested. In the absence
Of the President, Mr.. D. Ford was
chosen as president pro TEN. Quite
a number of the speakers ON rthepro-
gram were absent.
One interest topic was, Some of
Ohio County's Most valuable Resour
ces and How to Develop Them, by
Edgar Boehm. He handled his sub
Jet in an interesting manner, and he
told how we could secure a canning
factory in Hartford with very little
trouble if we would act quickly. He
stated that the canning factory in
Owensboro consumed nearly 1000 acres
of products every year, and that in
Hartford We have sites for location
Of canning factory far superior to
Greensboro whore some product
are hauled over twelve miles. and he
stated the same Investment in Hart
ford will double the output of that
at Greensboro, and the river facilities
here would be of much assistance.
MIR. Boehm stated that he was au-\
thorized to announce that a gentleman
would erect a canning factory in Hart
ford if he could secure as many as
200 acres Of tomatoes pledged. and se-
cure site at reasonable price. All
that he asks as. bonus Is that the
railroad switch be furnished him to
his factory. Mr.. Boahm said that af-
ter a short time when the factory
got in full operation that employment
would be given to nearly 300 people.
Mr.. Rowan Holbrook was called
upon to state his views, and he re-
piled that he had a friend in Gin
cinnatl who was in the wholesale gno-
Gerry business, and that he had trouble
getting canned products. He said that
the railroad company would furnish the
steel to lay the switch to the can
ming factory and that the cost of ties
and other parts OF the siding would
not cost over $3.50. Upon motion Mr..
Holbrook and Mr.. Boehm were ap-
pointed a committee to confer with
Mr.. Boehms friend who wants to
come at once if the people of Hartford
and Ohio county want this industry
located here
