ON LAST LAP
President Tufts Long Journey
Is Nearing a Close.
Will Wind Up Original Trip at
Pittsburg Tuesday.
IN CHICAGO 3 DAYS
Will Spend Five Days at Hot
Springs, Va.
Has Made More Than $50
Speeches in Al Days.
7 CHICAGO 3 DAYS

Milwaukee, Oct. 27.-With his de-
parture from Milwaukee for Chicago
today. President Taft practically
brought to an end the last leg of his
swing around the circle as it was
originally planned at Washington and
Beverly. Tomorrow the president will
start in on a strenuous three-day pro-
gram at Chicago and on Tuesday he
will wind up the original trip at Pitts
burg, the engagements that he has
made following that being quite dis
tinct from those of the present jour
ney.
In the forty-one days that Mr. Taft
has been on the road he has made, ac-
cording to the official stenographers,
more than $50 speeches and has dis
cussed all sorts of subjects Most of
the speeches have been short, not more
than 300 or 400 words in length each,
but there have been more than a score
Of set addresses that have reached a
length of $500 or 5000 words.
The tariff, the vetoes of the wooden,
farmers free list and cotton bills, the
tariff board and it's composition, the
relation of government to business,
reciprocity-in the early stages of the
trip-peace and arbitration have been
the main topic that the president has
used, but on many occasions he has
turned to farming, to the operations
" lAC OCpdI COA-
servation the public domain and other
questions in the public eye.
Mr.. Taft has spoken to all sorts of
crowds. Some of them have run over
the 10000 mark; others have been
closer to 100. Through it all the
president has kept in fine voice and
only once or twice has it become even
husky in spite of the strain on it. To-
day Mr. Taft looks almost as fresh
as when he stepped out on the plat
form Of ha Tdan1 tn %n
Boston on September Is. With five
days rest at Hot Springs, Va, ahead of
him he is expected to get back to the
capital in practically as fit condition
as when he started on this trip.

CHANGE IS UPSET
Panicky Conditions Develop in
Wall Street Market.
Following the Governments Ac-
tiOn Against the Steel Trust.

New York, Oct. 27.-The floor of
the stock exchange today was a scene
OF confusion. Long before trading was
begun the brokers were jammed tight
Iy about the pit at which steel stocks
are traded in.
Orders to sell the stocks had poured
in over night from owners in every
part of the country who were alarm ed
by the dissolution suit When the gong s
was sounded to announce the opening
of the market such a din was made
by the shouting. struggling traders that
it was impossible for several minutes
to learn the course of the market. The
first block of $4,000 shares was one Of
the largest ever recorded in steel
stocks, although it was exceeded twice
last month when the market was de-
moralized by liquidation of this stock
on the part of the holders who feared
that the government was to begin suit
Within the first fifteen minutes $500
shares were traded in
1t was soon evident that the stock
was receiving support. The first price
of So u was the low point and it raj
lied a point. At no time during the
early trading did it reach the low fig
ure of last month which was 81 "a.
Trading in the preferred stock and the
5 per. cent sinking fund bonds also was
very heavy.
The preferred stock, after breaking
5 9s rallied 2 points. The bonds opened
with a block of 100000 at 1OO%. a
decline of III. The general market
was upset by the excited trading in
the steel securities
The storm broke with renewed fury
after the first recovery in prices, the
selling being on an enormous scale and
the market became dem Oralized
Stocks fell to lower prices than at
the opening.
United States steel dropped to 81, a
loss of II points and a new low rec
ord for the year. The preferred stock
fell back to 1O3A Sales of the COM
mon stock in the first hour of trading
we're 100000 shares. Standard rail-
way issues, such as Union Pacific and
Reading. were forced down 3 points.
Industrial stocks of all classes were
extremely weak
The market was badly unsettled all
the morning.
Occasional rallies showed that at
-empts were being made to support
prices. but each recovery served only
to invite further selling.

EIGHT MEN IN BOX.
Another Venire of Fifty called in the
Hyde Case.

Kansas City, Oct. 27.-Stories on the
first B. Clarke Hyde murder trial as
published in local newspapers entered
into the second trial today as a means
of settling the qualifications of venire-
men who say they have formed fixed
opinions of the case from reading
newspaper reports. The defense as
serts these accounts were accurate and
nearly complete, while the state takes
the opposite view. The issue is wheth-
er a venir ennan could form an opinion
from the stories which would be liable
to change by testimony not published
in the papers.
The question first arose several days
ago and for a time it appeared that
Judge E. e. Porterfield would have to
examine the files Of three daily news
papers for the six weeks the last trial
ran. An agreement was reached last
night, however, whereby only the
transcript OF the testimony for certain
days and the newspaper accounts of
that testimony will be compared. At
torneys will assist the court in the
reading.
Another venire of fifty has been
called. The will report Saturday
morning at 8 O'Clock. The first venire
of seventy-nine men was exhausted.
Eight tentatively chosen jurymen are
in the box.

PANIC IN TRIPOLI
Turkish Army of 10000 Men
Attacks the City.
Italians Are Shooting Abeut so
Arabs a Day.

Malta Oct. 27.-Uncensored infor-
nation from Tripoli is to the effect
that something in the nature of a
panic has seized the city since it be-
came known that a Mussulman force
OF so, 900 Turks and Arabs is threat

But for a premature attack by a
party of Mussulmans on last Monday,
the Italians would have been am

few would have survived so numeri-
cally superior were the Turks and
Arabs In the subsequent revolt in
the city, the Italians suffered more
than $50 casualties before they gain
ed the ascendency. From forty to
fifty Arabs are shot daily in the town.
The attack was made before day
break and took the Italians by sur
prise. The Arabian and Turkish cav
airy threw themselves against the en-
tire italian line, which was formed in
a semi-circle behind the city, the ends
extending to the seashore- The Turks
threw their whole strength against the
italian center, which they succeeded
in smashing, but the Italians rallied
and drove back the enemy, inflicting
heavy losses. The Turkish horsemen
and footsoldiers displayed remarkable

CHINA A REPUBLIC
Leader of the Revolution Has
Informed Foreign ConsuIs
That He Has Been Proclaim ed
President of the Country.

Peking, Oct. 27.=General Lii Yum
keng, leader of the rebel forces, has
informed the foreign consuls at Han
kow he has been proclaimed "presi-
dent Of the republic of China"
The foreign ministers here have ex-
changed communications with Ii on
several subjects. They objected to his
announcement that vessels carrying
contraband would be subject to con
fiscation and also to his proposal to
administer the custom revenue at the
ports of the Yang Use Kiang and other
cities when controlled by the revolu-
tionists. The latter objection was
based on the fact that revenues are
pledged as security for foreign loans
and should be turned over to the
British inspector general of customs in
China
Reports that the minister of war,
General Yin Tchang, is dead continue
in circulation and are believed by
many Chinese.
Peace Negotiations.
Peking, Oct. 27.-It was authorita-
lively announced this evening at the
instigation of Yuan Shi Kai, negotia-
tions between the imperialist forces
and the revolutionaries in the Yang
Use Kiang region are about to open. 1t
was also officially stated that Yuma Shi
Kai will proceed to Sin Yang Chow to-
morrow to take up the supreme com
mand of the imperial army and navy
at the front.

Madison, WIS, Oct. PIT do not
recognize any difference between my
own principles and the principles of

nounced Governor woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey, in an address before a
thousand Democrats and LaFoIlette
Republicans here last night He was
answered by many of the Republicans
present with the assurance that if
President Taft was renominated VIII
son would carry wisconsin
The New Jersey executive broadly
limited that such a fusion of Demo-
Gratis and progressive Republicans with
a platform based on their common
hopes would be met with acclaim by
his followers.
'sI understand the two have become
sadly mixed in Wisconsin" Governor
Wilson continued Il understand the
Republicans have had to make drafts
on the Dem mocrats to carry their meas

That means that labels are wearing off

And row we propose that we match
our insides and get together.

waves over the building Miss Edna
Merchant, school teacher overawed
a score of infuriated Japanese sec
tion hands who sought James O'Brien,
a railroad section foreman. O'Brien,
who had incensed the Japanese by a
sharp order, had taken refuge in the
school house.
The Orientals understood the i'm
piled warning not to attack man
protected by the flag, and needed. AS
they halted O'Brien climbed out Of
one of the windows and, observing
him, the Japanese resumed the chase.
They finally freed him in the top of
tall cottonwood. Again coming to
O'Brien's rescue Miss Merchant teIe-
phoned to the authorities who found

dance beneath the tree, while the bad

Rains and Snow General Over
Kansas.

The first snow of the season fell
early this morning. A light precipita-
tion of rain was the order of things all
Thursday afternoon and evening, and
fakes melting as soon as they touch
ed the earth. The rain and snow
measured .27 of an inch.
On only two other occasions has
snow been recorded so early in the
season. In the afternoon of Septem-
Kinley's funeral-there was a light
furry. On October IT. 1898. 1.80
inches of melted snow was measured.
The Santa Fe reports that the rain
and snow was general over the eastern
portion Of Kansas. Snow and rain was
reported at Hutchinson and Wichita,
but further west there was not more
than a trace of moisture. The pre-
cipitation will be of great benefit to
the wheat, which is said on the whole
to be in good condition.

HER CASE is ENDED.
Topeka Girl Charged With Murder to
Know Fate Soon

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 27.-The state
completed it's cross examination of Eva
May Kreiter just before adjournment
for noon today. The attorneys for
both sides rested. Arguments will be
heard this afternoon and Judge Nc
Nulty will instruct the jury either this
evening or early tomorrow morning.
The state did not succeed in bring
ing out any damaging admissions from
the defendant, despite a vigorous cross
questioning. Mrs. Kreiter stuck to the
story she told Sheriff Shaffer last
March. She insisted she struck Kreiter
with butcher knife to save her own
life
She told of her girlhood days and
of her forming an acquaintance with
Kreiter, through correspondence, when
he lived at Quincyville, Ill, his sister,
Mrs. August Klinge, having induced
them to write to each other. Finally
Kreiter went to Topeka and they he
came engaged. Shortly after Kreiter
became angry because she accepted
attentions from other men on a trip to
Carbondale and they quarreled and the
engagement was broken off. After he
returned to Quincyville. she wrote to
him and apologized and the engage
ment was renewed.
HOW She Killed Kreiter.
She told her story of the killing of
Kreiter the same story she told Sher-
1f Shaffer last March, claiming they
quarreled and Kreiter threw her on to
the floor. "bloodied' her nose and
choked her and then started for his
revolver. She said she tried to escape,
but the door was locked. Then she
ran to the kitchen cabinet and as
Kreiter failing to find his revolver,
rushed towards her with an open jack
knife, she seized the butcher knife
and as he grabbed her thrust It into
his back.
The girl maintained the same de-
meanOr that has charactered her ac-
tsOns ever since the death of her hus-
band and told her story Of the killing

lands.
These sections, including the best in
the tract viii be selected by the state
before the settlers have a chance 10

DODGE JURY DUTY
Members of New Venire Called
in Mcnamara Case
Appear Before the Court and
Present Their Excuses.
THE VITAL QUESTIONS
4 Belief in Capital Punishment
and Fixed Opinions
Regarding Guilt or Innocence
and Cause of Explosion.

Los Angeles. Oct 27.-Veniremen
summoned in the new panel of forty
20 Try the case of James B. Mcnamara
lndlcted for murder as a result of the
1lnes explosion came to Judge Walter
DoruWeu an hour before the opening
OF court today to present excuses for
relief from possible jury duty
Excuses for relief from duty for
business reasons as well as physical in
nrm1tleS or inadequate understanding
OF the English language agai2 were
heard as with the first panel and the
Judge fnterrogated all veniremen in
detail before acting on their excuses.
The questions which each side con-
siders vital are: Whether a talesman
believes in capital punishment; wheth-
er he has an opinion on the guilt or
innocence of the defendant which he
could not remove: whether he has also
a fixed opinion as to the cause of the
explosion which he could not remove;
whether he has made personal investi-
cation of the wreckage of the Tim es
building and taken a special interest
in the case.
Hope to Save Half.
The veniremen began gathering in
the corridor and court room an hour
before court convened. Some of them
were sprucely dressed for the occasion,
but the majority wore their every day
clothes and passed the time before
opening of court discussing the result
of the worlds baseball series. If the
proportion prevailing in t. first venire
holds good, only about fifteen of the
forty men summoned to appear would
be left after preliminary examination.
but hope was expressed that at least
half would remain when counsel for
the defense began its work of exam
ination.
The defense was prepared to insist
that each venireman should be exam
ined by the state Immediately after the
r1,<, ,1,1
custom in California and, according to
citations of Attorney Clarence s. Oar
row. chief of counsel of the defense,
a appeared to be the law, but it is con-
trary 10 custom in Los Angeles county
where the practice is to get through
the whole box before the state begins.
Tt was understood that the state
would not oppose the new plan.
