REYES ASKS DELAY
Suffrage Not Guaranteed.
Mexican Candidate Says.
MADfRO DENIES THE CHARGES
Opponents In Campaign For President
In Controversy Over Date of Eleo-
tion to Choose Successor to Diaz.
Each Side Carries Arms.

City of Mexico, Aug. 31.-Friends of
General Bernardo Reyes have made
move for the postponement Of the
coming presidential election on the
grounds that the country Is not yet
sufficiently settled and prepared for
vote.
"1f the nation is without guarantees
in October as it is now, the elections
should be postponed, for not to do so
would be grave offense and the exer-
else Of the rights Of suffrage would de-
generate into a bloody DRAMA" de-
clared General Reyes.
IF suffrage is to be guaranteed let
us have the elections, but If the lib
erty Of the voters is to be restrained
at the time of casting their votes and
the liberty of the people is to be rent
by violent actions, then the elections
should be put off,"
These General Reyes declared are
his ideas subject to the principles pro
claimed by the revolution.
General Reyes spoke of the declara-
ton made by Vera Estanol to the
effect that the states have not been
legally divided into electoral districts,
saying that If true should come a post
ponement. Another reason produced
by the opponents of october elections
is the fact that many Maderists are
still under arms. General Reyes said
in referring to the armed Maderists
that it was notable that only the revo-
lutionists who have turned away from
the Mexican principles of the revolu-
ton to follow Madero personally are
the ones for the most part who are
still under arms.
General Reyes said he believed the
matter of postponing the elections
should should be decided In October
when the time appointed comes around
at Is true" said Madero, that there
are armed Maderists. Many Of the
revolutionists when the struggle was
over went home and took their arms
with them. The Reyeists have more
arms than the Maderists, so they have
no room to complain. The Maderists
don't need arms; votes will be enough
for u.s."
AS to the declaration that the terri
tory has not been divided, Madero said
this was not the case, and could not
be used as an excuse for putting off
the elections. The division of the ter
ritory into electoral districts was made
at the time of the election of the presi-
dent and vice president, who resigned
their posts on account of the demands
of the revolution.

To the Republicans OF Wayne Co.:
take this means of announcing
myself as a candidate for the nomi-
nation of Prothonotary at the pri-
maries, Sept. 80, 1911.
To most of you 1 am known per-
sonally. During my seventeen years
of service as a clerk in the Homes
dale postoffice my efforts have been
to perform my duties faithfully and
courteously to the patrons of the Of
flee and the public generally.
To the voters with whom l am not
personally acquainted / would say
that, since severe injury sustain
ed by my father a few years before
his accidental death when l was six
teen years old l have tried to make
an honest living. My birthplace was
in Texas township, district No. 4,
Wayne county. My school days
were limited to the district school
and the Honesdale High school. AS
boy of eleven years l spent my
summers slate picking on the Della
ware & Hudson dock and attended
school during the winter. l also
spent several summers working on a
farm in Cherry Ridge.
Alter SCnOOl entered Jne ONCE
of the Honesdale Iron Works, known
now as the Guerney Electric Elevator
Co., where / stayed a number of
years and later entered the Homes
dale postoffice serving two years un-
der William F. Briggs. l then went
to the Carbondale Lumber company
as a bookkeeper, remaining with
them until the appointment as post
master of Miss Mary E. Gerety, who
later became the wife of Hon. c. A.
McCarty In June, 1896, returned
to the Honesdale postoffice where
have been employed ever since. In
coming bfore the people and asking
their assistance and vote at the COM
| ing primaries, let me say that / am
no tool of any boss or bosses. l
simply desire in common with every
American citizen to better my condi-
tion. Your support will be appre-
ciated and if nominated and elected
will devote all my time and atten-
tion to the duties of the Office to
which 1 aspire.

TAFT WILL INVADE
INSURGENT TERRITORY,
Presidents Forty Day Trip Will Take
Him to the Pacific Coast.

Plans for President Taft's coming
trip through the west and to the Pa
cific coast have been completed. The
journey will be almost as extensive as
that taken by the president on his ia
nous "swing around the circle" in
1909, when he Travelled more than 49,
600 miles and visited thirty three states.
He will break ground for the Panama
Canal exposition at San Francisco and
attempt to scale the $4,000 feet OK
Mount Rainier's precipitous slope.
The president will be gone six weeks,
In that time it is expected that he will
make close to 200 speeches from plat
forms and from the rear end of his
private car. Republican leaders look
upon the trip as the most important,
politically, that the president has map
ped out since he entered the White
House. He will go through all the
states in the west dominated by the
ed on to oppose his denomination next
year.
Until the question of the adjournment
of congress was out of the way the
president was undecided whether he
should be gone three weeks or six.
The president will leave Beverly
Sept. IT, returning east about Nov. 1.
He will go through Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado and Nevada to the
coast. Most of the big cities in that
section, including Des Moines, Kansas
City, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake
City, will be visited. but the plans for
the trip contemplate stops at scores Of
smaller places as well. From Califor>
mia the president will go north to
Portland and Seattle. Three days are
to be spe2t in Washington state, and
the route eastward will allow him to
stop in Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas
and Minnesota. .l.l .al @
While no spellbinders are to be taken
along, 1t is probable that members OF
the cabinet or congressman will be-
come travelling companions Of the pres
ident at various points.

A Murder Case.

ut was murder case" he said, "and
one of the most dastardly l ever ran
across. The man who committed the
deed was an American who had served
during the Spanish-American war in
a Tennessee regiment. While in the
Philippines he shot man for no other
reason, apparently, than for the fun
of seeing him die.
"At the expiration of his prison SEN
tence he boarded a fishing boat bound
for the Aleutian country. At Unimak
island the boat stopped for water, and
he, with several others, went ashore.
Upon landing they discovered three
tents pitched well back from the beach
and in them mining implements OF
value. When the water had been OBJ
tanned he remained on the island.
'"The fishing boat sailed away with
out him. He returned to the tents and,
taking rifles and ammunition. made
his way to some nearby hills. There
he awaited the return of the prospec-
tors who owned the tents. AS they
came within range he opened fire on
them, killing three out of four OF them.
"Thirty days later other prospectors
landed on the island and found the
surviving one of the four lying beneath
an overturned boat, half crazed and
starving. They took him with them
to Unalaska, where he told his terri
BILE story 10 the commanding officer Of
the Manning, and that vessel set out
Immediately for the island. They
found the skeletons of the three men
killed and after searching discovered
two men attired IN the dead mems
clothes. Both were arrested. One was
the American. The other proved at
the trial that he had come to the is
land after the murder had been com
mitted by the testimony Of the three
head men of an Eskimo village, who
presented convincing alibi for him.
The American was convicted and
hanged"

wrestling with each other on the
beach. But one night when the ship
was tied up in port one of them dis
appeared. Whether he had Jumped
overheard and was drowned or had
succeeded in reaching the shore and
secreting himself in the interior Of
the country was never ascertained.
He had literally vanished overnight.
In another instance. Lieutenant Al
len relates. a party of revenue cutter
men had captured a seal poaching
vessel, but were unable to get con-
elusive evidence, though they felt
quite sure of the justice of their
charge. The Japs objected to being
placed on their ship and being towed
to the three mile liza as is custom
ary. So they were loaded into small
boats and literally driven to their ves
sci with clubbed rifles as extra induce
ments to obey.
Ordinarily, though. the japanese
seal poacher is not combative. A Jail
! sentence is usually more of pleasure
than punishment to him. The food
in the jails is far more inviting than
that served on their own ships and
the work much lighter In nine cases
out of ten blank shell discharged or
shot across the bow of a suspected
seal poacher brings it to in a jiffy.
If not solid shot works wonders.
Then the revenue officers board the
boat and search for evidence.
Whatever trouble the Japanese seal
rit In
the past, the future holds promise of
relief. A treaty passed congress by
which England, Russia and the Japa-
nese agreed to join this country in
not hunting seal within a six mile
limit instead of a three mile one. And
In addition Japan and Russia have
consented to hunt seal along their
own respective coast lines.
Their Crimes.
The natives are but rarely accused
of theft. Assembled in a store, they
will help themselves to pocketknives
and other trinkets that appeal to them.
These will be passed from one to the
other with enthusiasm. But the store
keeper never bothers to keep tab on
them, for he well knows that every
article will be returned to the identical
place from which it was taken. Theft,
If anv. exists among the lower class
of white men.
Murder, however, is less infrequent.
1t is a custom among the natives, if a
white man kills one of them, to kill
not the murderer, but the first white
man encountered. This state of af-
fairs often brings peculiar cases before
the court.
! Judge James Wickersham, delegate
to congress from Alaska, has often sat
in judgment upon the natives.
although they are beginning to re-
alize the significance of our law" he
says, "they find that they conflict at
every turn with their own customs.
What to them has always been right
is suddenly changed to wrong. Their
marriage custom is by no means bar
ter. The prospective husband does not
bid for her in business fashion, but
comes with presents and pays her real
court. She takes pride in the size of
the price offered for her. She is the
center of interest in her village and is
proud Of being wooed in that manner"
The floating court came out of trip
that Judge Wickersham made some
ten years ago. He held court then at
Unalaska and recalls one decidedly
unusual incident of the work.
