REGRETS HE IS LIVING
PENNSYLVANIA Druggist Hired a Man
TO Kill Him.

In letter signed, "a Broken
Hearted Husband" received in Ha-
zleton, Pa, this week, Francis K.
Eble, druggist, who disappeared
two months ago, sends his regrets
that he Is still living, despite the
fact that he paid a man $3.50 to
murder him. Eble is now in New
York city. He still desires death but
will not commit suicide.
According to his letter Eble left
Hazleton because of marital diff
culties. All trace Of him was lost
until several days ago when he was
traced to Buffalo. N. Y, bv mileage
he had used. From that city he went
to New York where he obtained EN-
ployment. In his letter he rails bit
tarly at the "coward' who took his
money and failed to keep his bargain
by appearing at the appointed time
and place to do the murder FOL
which he had accepted pay.
The disappearance of Eble created
a great deal of interest in Hazleton.
Searching parties secured the noun
tains for weeks after he left home. 1t
as believed that he had killed HIM
self until several days ago.

TRUST MAGNATE
CRIMINAL ACTIONS PLANNED,
SAYS WICKERSHAM.
Attorney General Questioned by the
House Committee on Expenditures.
Saws Juries Loath to Convict.

The recent decisions Of the
Supreme Court in the Standard
Oil and American Tobacco Com
pany cases will result in a
sweeping attempt to secure criminal
convection of violators of the anti
trust law, according to Attorney Gen
eral Wiekersham, who appeared re-
Gently before the house committee on
expenditures. Mr.. Wickersham was
asked why the government, thus far
failed to lodge any trust magnates"
in prison?
1--WE have done the best we could, "
he said, '"but there has been an un-
willingness on the part of junies and
courts to sentence men to prison un-
der the antitrust law. Until the
Supreme Court laid down it's expla-
nation of the law, in the cases just
decided, this reluctance was we'll un-
derstood, and the law has always
been open to question.
"Juries are becoming more willing
now, however, to convict and judges
who have been reluctant to impose
prison penalties now have these de-
oisions to- sustain them.'
Criminal prosecution pending
against the meat packers, he added,
and the milk dealers, the naval stores
and window glass combinations and
other alleged violators of the anti
trust law, he said, would be
followed by other prosecutions.
He stated that the government had
definite plans.
When asked why there had been
no prosecutions against the heads OF
the Standard Oil and tobacco COM
panies, he replied that "it has been
practically impossible to convict
them. Now, however, we have an in

SPY REVEALS SECRET
SAYS AN AMERICAN BLEW UP
THE MAINE"
Plausible Story Attracts the Atten-
ton of Chief Wilkie But it is De-
MED by the Mans Bioerapher.

The United States government it
became known, has investigated a
report tc the effect that the Maine
WIS blown up in Havana harbor by
an American who had been con-
demned to death by the Spanish, but
won his freedom by destroying the
American battleship. The spy who
turned the story into the Secret Ser
vice bureau at Washington, D. c.,
asserted that George B. Boynton, a
Soldier of fortune' who died re-
Gently was the man who actually
blew up the Maine. H5race. Fnith,
biographer of Boynton, declares the
story is false and that he can prove
Boynton was in Venezuela at the
time of the explosion.
"The Spaniards, said the inform
er to Chief Wilkie of the Secret Ser
vice, were entirely unprepared for
the visit CT the Maine, which was
sent to Havana suddenly and with
out warning. Consequently there
was no mine attached to the buoy at
which she was moored.
Capt. Gen. Blanco and his staff
did not relish having hostile war
ship in such an advantageous posi-
ton in the event of war with the
United States, which they then re-
garded as at least possibility, and
it was decided to blow her up, un-
der such monditions as might make
i. appear she had been destroyed by
an accidental explosion of her own
magazines. A large boiler from the
navy yard was taken to the arsenal
and filled with powder. 1t was pro-
vided with a mechanism by which
it would be exploded by electricity
and then hermetically sealed.
"Tha boiler was lashed in a sling
under a lighter, which was towed
across the bow Of the Maine at
night. When the lighter was dl-
rectly in front of the battleshlp the
INES WHICH uSlu LIZ boiiSi
and it dropped into the mud.
"The Spaniards then fixed on
Roynton as the person to set off the
mine. He had been captured short
ly before while conducting a filibust-
ering expedition for the Cubans'
whom he had aided during the ten
years war, and was then imprisoned
in Cabanas Fortress.
According to the story, he was
tried and sentenced to death, but
was offered life and liberty II ne
would press the button that was to
destroy the Maine, and swear never
70 reveal the secret. He accepted
these terms and on the night OF
Feb. IS, 1898, when the Maine
swung around until her bow was
directly over the mine, with her
keel only three or four feet above
it. he was taken to the Machina
wharf, where he threw the switch
that caused the explosion. Then re
was set free and left Cuba

FOR DUTY ON WOOL.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS. AGAIN PULL
TOGETHER IN CAUCUS.
Party Declare for Duty Of 20 Per
Cent. for Revenue Purposes, Fifty
Per Cent Reduction.

- A Washington dispatch says this
'ey Jr Is 1;hstanee Alb of the action OF
the tv..> -AuS 10 ousa caucus Thurs
day night is that the Democrats in
ats nho body are keeping up their rec
ouse 1t the extra session
the best pv.- he party has played
for two decades.
Republican hopes Of serous DEM
ocratic split are again blasted by
the magnificent Democratic leader
ship in the House, the proposed DEM
ocratic revision of the wool tariff
and the Underwood bill, being unan-
imously approved by the Democratic
causcus at midnight, twelve hours af-
ter it had been made public by the
ways and means committee.
Through a resolution, which leaves
the Democratic party open in the fu-
ture to renew its advocacy Of free
trade in raw wool, but which COM
mits all Democrats TO the support Of
ure, that measure was put through
the caucus Thursday.
The final vote on the approval Of
the Underwood bill was made unan-
imous, but the following members
were excused from pledge to sup
port the caucus action: Representa-
tives Rucker, of Colorado; Ash
brooke and Francis, of Ohio; and
Gray, of Indiana.
The resolution agrees on a free
raw wool tariff, but was finally voted
down and the revenue deriving bill
was adopted.
The need for a duty, the resolution
stated, was due to Republican ex-
travagance, which made necessary
large revenue. Speaker Clark took
the floor and supported the resolu-
ton, which had been framed in the
conference.

PAYETTE SECOND TEAM DE-
FEATS WEISER SECOND TEAM

Saturday the Payette High School
second team took the second team
of the Weiser into camp to the tune
of IL to 0. The work of the Pay
ette team was first class and prom
ises well for next years team.
There was a great deal of fumbling
during the game. Most of the play
was open and fast. Payette kicked
off to Weiser. Weiser began rush
ing the ball and it looked like Pay
ette did not have a chance.
The boys braced however and
stopped the bucks of the Weiser
bunch. After that the ball was in
Weiser's territory most of the time.
Steffin played good game. Holden
at half bueked the line for gains
time after time. ONeil at full
also played a strong game.
The dope on the position Of the
first teams in the league is badly
mixed now. 1t seems to indicate
that Weiser has the strongest team.
They have defeated every team
they have met so far Boise until
last week considered one Of the
strongest teams in the league. The
fact that Nampa held them last
Saturday to to 0 score puts
them second to Weiser. Since Boise
defeated Caldwell by big score
seemed to indicate that Boise was
Esieh stronger than Payette. Cald-
well was weak in their game with
Boise. They had lost a great many
players. That game can not be tax
en- as true estimate of the strength
of the Payette and Boise teams.
Next Saturday the Payette and Boise
teams meet in Payette to fight the
matter out. The old rivalry between
.the two teams will make the game
east and bitterly contested.
