known by names which signify Old

Strolling near the lake, Rubin de-
cided a dip in the lake would be the

Just as he was besporting himself
in the cooling waves five women ap-
peared at the edge of the beach. They
had picnic baskets with them, and
from their preparations Rubin. in the
water, decided they were in for an all
day stay.
IF I come out this way to get my
Clothes" thought Rubin. "I'l shock
them. It's nice here and I'll stay here
in the shallow water for an hour or so
and then maybe they'll 60 away"
But the waves failed to cover up the
recling Rubin. and shrek arose from
the picnic party.
There's dead man in the water,'
and five merry-makers departed in
more haste than dignity to find a po-
liceman. When the policeman did
come he found Rubin still in the wa.
ter.
I'm not dead" he said, land 1 won't
come out. l kept quiet for a while so
wouldn't shock the women, now I'm
going to stay in. They can do what
they please. The waters fine"
The five picnickers, watching from
behind a tree, departed after the po-
liceman had rescued their lunch bas-
kets and left Rubin to his lake enjoy

 CONFESSION This Time Lee Tells a
 True Story  HE BR0ODED UNTIL MAD
His Family Stood in Way of His Intended Marriage And He Undertook to Re / move Obstruction With An Axe.

Evansville, Ind, Aug. 2G.-William Lee. aged 9, has confessed that he murdered his father. Richard Lee, his mother and younger brother. Cl1r- ence, and then set fire to the family home at Bonneville. early on Thurs day in the hope of concealing the crime.
 In a verbal and written statement to Sheriff Davis, Lee said his motive was anger because his parents would not consent to his marriage with Nina Taylor which he said he had planned for Thursday night, and would not give him money with which to begin housekeeping.
 When the confession was made pull lie the officers started with Lee in an automobile for the state reforna- tory at Jeffersonville to prevent pos sible mob violence. Lee had previous ly made a statement that he killed his father in self defense after his father murdered his wife and younger son.
 Lee said he went on Wednesday night to Newburg and called upon his fiance. They talked over the arrange ments for their wedding He had had $10O in a bank but he had spent it. He knew his parents had $50 in the house. He returned home late and his mother reprimanded him. He told her that he was determined to marry the following day. She answered that he must stay at home. Going to his own room, Lee said he broOded until he was out of his mind.
 Suddenly he rushed to the room where his father. mother, and brother slept 'I grabbed an aX by the door" he said, "and struck for father, but hit mother My brother rose up and I struck him. Then father. who had been outside ran in and started to grab me by the throat I hit him and he fell I was scared so badly I did not know what I was doing"
 He said he lit a match to see what he had done and then dropped the flaming match on the bed where his mothers body lay. "The flames flashed up and blinded me-" he said, T jumped to my room, put on my trousers and ran to alarm the neigh bOrs"
 The fire in the Lee home was put out before the bodies were more than scorched. The parricide stolidly helped to carry them ont on the lawn, in- sisting that he did not know how they came to their death.
 Already suffering from hysteria Mira Taylor, Lees fiancee, was pros trated when she heard that Lee had confessed to the murders.

Those Who Heard PreSf dent Taft al Hamilton, Mass.
 THEY KEYNOTE SOUNDED
He Talked of the Late At tempts at Tariff Revision as Playing Politics" and Addressed Himself Espec- ially to LaFollette.

Hamilton, Mass, Aug. 26.-President Taft began the presidential campaign of 1912 in a speech that breathed de- fiance and condemned the efforts of the "Insurgent" republicans. and dem ocrats combined to revise several schedules of the present tariff at the special session of congress just closed. The president singled out Senator La Toilette. of Wisconsin, Speaker Champ Clark, and Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means committee, as leaders in the movement and charged them with playing politics"
 Several times he referred by name to MT. LaFollette, but Mir. Taft indi- cated that he regarded the proposed revision as injurious. and dangerous to business, but he made it plain that if the tariff board report in December was in favor of a downward revision of the cotton and wool schedules he would recommend a reduction.
 Standing on a broad terrace of Con- gressman A. P. Gardners farm. with Senator Lodge and other Massachus- etts republican leaders, the president seemed to scent the smoke of the com- ing battle. Many of the 500 members of the Essex county republican club, who had gathered to listen. thought they heard a Keynote speech of the coming campaign. and their cheers were loud and long.
 Senator Lodge supplemented the presidents tariff remarks by a few words while two of the three candi- dates for the republican nomination for governor of Massachusetts. Lieutenant Governor rockingham and Speaker Walker also spoke.
 MT Taft said, "The extra session of congress called for the purpose of making treaty. Our democratic friends. however. were not content to allow the session to pass with the ac- complishment of the purpose for which it was called. They assisted-most of them-in the passage of the reciprocity bill, because they believed in it's use fulness. and did not play politics in its passage
 'I am sorry to say, however. that like course with reference to reciprO- city. they did 'play politics with most reprehensible character with respect to the three tariff bills which. by unit ing with certain republicans in the sen ate. they were able to rass, and pre- sent to the executive for signature. The bills bear internal evidence that they rested on a basis not of tariff for revenue only but of tariff for pol itics only

TWO WERE KILLED
 IN ELG|N RACES IT WAS A DAY OF ACCIDENTS Many Injured in Collapse of Grand
 Stand.
IT WAS A DAY OF ACCIDENTS

Elgin, Ills, Aug. 26.-The 2O5-mile automobile road race, won ny Len Zengel, in a National car, with Harry Grant second, Hugh Hughes, third. was not accomplished without a toll of death and injuries. David Buck, vet eran automobile racer, was travelling travelling slxty-five miles an hour on the back stretch when his right front wheel threw a tire. The machine turned somersault and Sam Jacobs. the mechanician was instantly killed. Bucks back was broken and he died tonight Every eye was on Mrs. Buck when she left her chair in the grand stand, and went in a machine to the field hospital. where her husband received first aid. She became hysteri- cal when she learned that his injur- ies were fatal.
 Several sections of the poorly built stand gave way, but the thousands of spectators were not dropped entirely to the ground. Four suffered broken legs. among them being a daughter of Senator William Lorimer. others suffered cuts and bruises.
 Ten cars. which were cn the course, were stopped as soon as they reached the repair pit. and a new start was made fifty minutes later.
 Ralph Mulford, whose I.ozier was the last away, and who won last years race, set a terrific pace. For fifty nine miles he drove at siXty-nine miles an hour. leading the field by good six minutes. On the next lap he went out of the race with burned connecting rod bearing. This placed Zengel in first position. with Grant. two minutes behind. They finished this position. although Grant lost twelve minutes from tire trouble. Hughes. the third, was eleven seconds behind Grant Zengers time average for the race was four miles an hour faster than that set by Mulford last year
 ZengeIs average was 66.55 miles an hour. Grant drove an Alec car. Hughes drove a Mercer.
 The Elgin National trophy was for cars under 600 inch displacement, the prizes in cash valued at s6500 to win ner, the distance 305.5 miles; the lap s 1-2 miles.
