SAYS TAFT IS LAZY.
Hapgood Makes Charge in After-Din
ner Speech at Lawrence

lawrence. Kan, Jan. 26.-"Taft is
just a big, fat, lazy man. He is too
lazy TO think for himself and he does
not take the trouble to investigate
present day conditions for himself For
instance, in the midst of the water
power investigation out west, Mayor
Phelan OF San Francisco. asked Mr.
Iatt for his opinion of the whole mat
ter: Taft pointed to Jack Hammond
and said, Ask him, Jack knows all
about it, Jack Hammond was one of
the men who was then most instru-
mental in gaining control of those very
water rights
Such was the accusation made by
norman Hapgood, editor of Golfers

fore local newspaper people here We'd

TO the journalistic students of the
University OF Kansas. There he adj
vanced a theory that newspapers are
passing through stage of publication.
That, in fact. there is a new journal

He declared he believed that the new

Will prevent editors from selling their
right to editorial opinion to corporate
and private interests.
1.-THE time is coming" he declared
when no man who works for a paper
will be asked to sacrifice his high
moral ideals for the promotion of his
paper. Even now the best papers do
not require it: they look to, their men
to point out the weak places and to
help strengthen them. rather than to
accept the established policy as right.
Moreover, such corporations as the
Standard Oil company and other SINH
lar trusts will soon not be able to con-
troll the printing of the news. Already
big corporations are in many cases, al
though it is not known to the general
public, buying controlling interests in
influential papers of certain communi

They Will Be Put Into Effect Wedncs-
day of Next Week.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Announceme nt
is made from the Pullman company
offices that arrangements have been
completed for the application next
Wednesday of their new rate rules,
which include a nationwide reduction
of 20 per cent practically on all up
per berth rates and cut ranging from
rs cents to 81, or 20 per cent on all
lower berths.
The new tariffs, which have been
filed with the interstate commerce
commission, provide that where the
lower berth rate is $50, the rate for
the upper berth shall be $1.25 and
where the lower berth rate is more
than $3.50 the upper berth rate will
be 20 per cent less.
new feature of the rate scheme
is the establishment of an interme-
date lower berth rate. Heretofore a
rate of $3.50 has been collected for a
certain time and distance. and the next
higher rate amounted to so cents
more. In the revised tariff rates
SIPS, $2.25, ETC., have been put in
wherever it was necessary to bring
about an equalization of the lower
berth rates.
New tourist sleeping car rates also
have been filed. There is no change in
rates for lower berths in these tariffs,
but in the matter of upper berths
there is cut of 20 per cent, with a
minimum upper berth rate of 81.

EXPERT STAGE REACHED
Letters in Baldwin Will Case Pro-
nOunced Mrs. TrunbuIPs.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 26.-Supplied
with enlarged photographs of various
letters, Theodore Kytka, a handWrit-
ing expert of San Francisco, was plac-
ed on the stand by the defense in the
Baldwin will contest and declared that
all the letters which Mrs. Lillian Ash
ley Turnbull had declared were forger-
les were in her handwriting.
The letters were addressed to James
R. Wood. the Boston detective who
played a prominent part in Mrs. Turn
bulls former suit against the late mil
lionaire turfnan. Wood was on the
stand himself just before Kytka was
called and he identified the letters as
genuine, although Mrs. Turnbull, in her
testimony, asserted that they had been
'doctored," or tempered with by him.
All the letters relate to Mrs. Turn
bulls association with Baldwin in 1898
and wien introduced during Mrs. Turn
bulls action for $4,000 against him in
1896, helped the turfman to win the
court decision.
Kytka compared the disputed letters
with a missive which Mrs. Turnbull adj
mitted she had written to Dr. Leach,
president of a Fresno bank, in which
she told him that she was looking "for
a count on the Pacific coast" and that
if he were a whole souled youth with
ducats,' he could, if he wished, learn
more about Lillian. Ashley, or the
Blonde"
Kytka declared in his opinion, the
person who wrote the Leach letter
wrote all the letters addressed to Wood.

THEY ROB A FLAT.
-Four Masked Men Take $500 From
Two Women.

New York. Jan. 26.-Four masked
men, armed with heavy "police" re-
volvers, rang the bell at the door OF
a second floor apartment in six story

eighth street shortly after L O'Clock
this morning Miss Charlotte Stanton
and her sister, Harriet. were seated in
their parlor awaiting news from a
sick relative Miss Charlotte went to
the door, supposing that the ring an
nounced the expected messenger.
AS she opened the door, the masked
men pushed in, the former knocking
her unconscious with terrific blow
with the butt of his revolver. Miss
Harriet, hearing the commot1on,
rushed to a window and screamed for
help. Her cries were silenced mo-
ment later by a blow similar to the
one which had felled her sister. The
intruders went quickly through the
apartment, securing $500 in cash and
jewelry valued at an equal amount.
Then they fled.
The police, summoned by neigh
Dor who had heard the cries of the
younger sister, arrived Just too late
They picked up mask and loaded
revolver in the hallway where one of
the robbers had apparently dropped
them in his haste. The weapon was
of the type known as police" revol-
yer. but the detectives attached no
significance to this fact, as it is said
that these revolvers are on sale to the
general public.

After Forty Years
 George Came Back

San Antonio, Texas, July 14-Forty years ago George Bartholomew drifted from Fort Smith, Ark, into southwest Texas, having, so rumor said, to leave Fort Smith to escape the IT. s. marshal.
 Bartholomew was a native of Daik county, Ohio, and early in his your manhood, followed Greeleys advice and came West. Some months ago an inquiry was made at Fort Smith and an effort made to find Bartholomew. By some means he heard he was wanted at his old home in Ohio, and fearing that it might be m effort to capture him un some old charges against him, kept per fectly quiet.
 For several years he has made his home in Sonora county, Texas. Recent ly when making trip into the Panhan dle, he stopped in Andrews county and stayed all night with lanchman by tue name of Barlow, and was much surpris- ed after he had been at the home some hours to discover that Farlow's wife was his own sister, some twenty years young CT than himself. Through her he learre1 that he was heir to considerable estate in Dark county Ohio, and also that the charges against him in Fort Smith, which were merely some infractions of the revenue laws, had long since been stricken from the docket.
 He will return home at once.

Morning Sun ] Has BrainStOrm

Of course in the middle fthe summer most anything will throw the average man off his balance, whether it be booze, cigarettes or just plain heat, but the Sun man had brain storm this morning and came out with long article under a scare head of
 New Ruling on Registration" which says in part:
 Supervisor W. E. Marvin called the . Suns attention yesterday to a late decision of Chief Justice Kent in re-
 gard to the matter of registration. .i Chief Justice Kent decides that the
 Board of Supervisors must keep the
 registration books open in each coun--
 ty the year around. In other words
 that the board of supervisors must
 keep the registration books open in
 each county the year around. In
 other words that the registration
 books shall always be open to re-
 ceive the names of legal voters ex-
 cepting twenty-one days before the
 day of election.
 Had the Sun man who penned the above, could have worked in few more "in other words into the above he could certainly qualify as an all-round founder of some kind of a new brand of dope, or old brand worked over.
 AS it is, in his attempt to throw Mar win into the lime light, he has simply made himself the laughing stock of the town.
 In 1907 when Attorney Peter T. Robert son was district attorney of Yuma cou T. ty Major Ives came here, and for req to7 tn ;cfo o1fh0t1Ob if not campaign year and the registration Looks were not supposed to be open.
 Recorder James Polhamus went to Dis trict Attorney Robertson for an opinion as to whether he could register Major Ives, and District Attorney Robertson rendered written decision which is now and has been ever since on file in the recorders office to the effect that Re- corder Polhamus MUST accept such reg istration and that he could not at any time refuse to register any voter who came in and wished to register, providing that said citizen was entitled to register.
 And from that day until the present time the registration books in Yuma Co.,, lave never been closed.
 Only two or three weeks ago, Frank Boston became of age and applied to Recorder Polhamus for registration. HC WAS PROMPTLY REGISTERED.
 Of course, it is not often that a man desires to register until a few days prev ious to the primaries, but certain it is THAT THE REGISTRATION BOOKS IN YUMA COUNTY HAVE NOT BEEN CLOSED FOR TWO YEAhS PAST.
 Certainly it was an alarming discovery made by the Sun and Marvin.
 The Sun might change its brand to a good advantage.

Man Found Dead

Juan Zavalla, Ramon Martinez, Bennie Hodges, Mike Welter, c. A. Seay. Claude w. Meigs and W. H. Shorey constituted a coroner's jury this afternoon by Cor oner J. c. Jones to enquire into the cause of the death of J. c. McMillen, an Irish American employed at the syphon work
 The man had been drinking heavily. and had just previous to last Thursday recovered from heavy debauch.
 On Thursday he seceured a certificate from Dr. A. c. Carlson allowing him togo to work, but the certificate had this mo- tation on its face: Provided he sobers up'
 He worked yesterday at the syphon and last night he stopped at the Virginia house on North Main street and seemed very nervous. c@ .r 9t
 He arose early this morning and was seen by a number of workmen about breakfast time.
 He was found dead shortly before noon lying on his back on the river bank tt the foot of Main street.
 Evidently he had been somewhat un- der the influence of liquor, and had laid down in the shade of a small bush, and in his, condition did not recover con- sciousness when the sun came out and beating down on him, caused his death. The body was immediately taken to the undertaking parlors of Undertaken O. c. Johnson and the jury returned ver- dict that deceased came to his death from nervous prostration, superinduced duced by the excessive use of alcoholic drink
 Dr. A. c. Carlson stated that when he saw McMillen on Thursday he was re- covering from an acute alcoholic attack and was very nervous.
 It has believed that the deceased has a wife and family at Sacramento, and it is said that he has a sister at Chino. Cal, and a brother at Meloland, Imper- ial valley.
 He was a short, heavy-set man and weighed about 150 pounds, and came here to work under compressed air on the sy- phon..
 He appeared in good physical condition except for drink
 The body will be held at Johnson's par lors awaiting word from relatives who have been notified.
