GIVE" DO NOT WANT 1T,
SAYS Acknowledgement

Apparently consumed with right
eous Indignation because either R.
A. Crosson, manufacturer of electric
and telephone appliances at San Fran
cisco, or the good old state of Ore
gon is endeavoring to thrust upon
him a telephone holder. Attorney
General Crawford yesterday wrote
Secretary of State Olcott declaring
that he had never ordered the tele-
rhone holder, and taking a fling at
the secretary of state, concluded by
saying that 81 beg to say that If it is
imperative that we have a telephone
holder, all right, but we do not need
one. nor do we desire one"
Olcott Also Sarcastic.
This information, says Secretary
of state Olcott, in a letter answer ng
the letter of the attorney-general, 'ls
so unique in character as to command
special attention and notice, and
richly deserves the rendered and ac-
companying thanks On behalf of
the taxpayers. I salute you"
Just how the telephone holder hap
pened to be sent to the attorney-gen-
eral is not known. He declares he
did not order it, and the secretary of
state seems to know nothing about
it. Anyway, it was sent. and a biz
for $3.50 is now renosing in the
secretary of states office.

morning papers inside, knocked on
the door and left.
An empty chloroform bottle was
found in the bathroom by Coroner
Winterbottom. Evidences of strug-
gle were everywhere, chairs were
overturned and the body had numer-
Gus wounds about the head and up
per portions. There was a deep
cash over the right eye and a wound
in the skull. Jackson's pajamas had
been literally torn to shreds.
His Jewelry Taken.
Some features of the case have
puzzled the police. The pockets of
the dead mans clothing were turned
inside out, all his jewelry was miss
ing and it is believed that the booty
was considerable. The bureau
where Jackson kept most of his val
uables was undisturbed.
A suggestion that revenge was the
motive for the murder was made and
the police are investigating Jack
sons associations. Several detec-
tives expressed the opinion that the
murderers thought they were enter.
ing the suite of District Attorney
Whitman. The windows of Jackson's
rooms overlook the roof of the City
Club building and it was believed
that entrance was effected from this
roof.
Jackson took up his residence a
the Iroquois hotel June %. He was
a veteran of the seventh regimen
and was known in Wall street a!
"Uncle Bill" Derby Crandall, jun.
ior member of the Van Schaick com
jany, stated that Jackson was not {
member of the firm but had beer
its cashier for 80 years.

PRESIDENT
PLACED IN A
DILEMMA
PASSING OF LA FOLLETTE'S SUB
STITUTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS
WOOL BILL MAKES TAFT
CHOOSE ONE OF TWO THINGS
OF WHICH HE LIKES NEITHER

Washington, July 27-By a coali-
tion between tn progressives and the
Democrats, the senate this afternoon
adopted, by a vote of As to 80, the
La Toilette substitute for the wool
tariff revision bill.
The action came after the joint
forces, acting apparently under a dis
tince understanding, had voted down
a previous motion to adopt the same
substitute.
1t was believed this afternoon that
the action will put up to the presi-
dent the most perplexing dilemma of
his administration by his being
forced to choose between a revision
of the wool schedule adopted by the
Democrats and his progressive oppo-
nents, and the question of yetoing a
bill reducing duties in the schedule

Auburn, Ind, July 27-Attacking

that the time had come when indi-
vldual voters must drive the inter-

Referring to the trust decisions,
the governor said:
"As deadly a blow as may be

by judiciary-made law as by the

islature."
Governor Marshall continued
"The corporate evil is not in the
formation Of corporations, but in
their assumption Of individuality and
their right to act as they please af-
ter their formation. They have no
rights save those granted by the
state. 1t is Illegal for insane per-
sons to marry; it Is equally illegal
for money-made corporations to join
their fortunes by a wedding tie. The
rule of reason is fine thing, but |

1t is.

London, July 27.-Rush orders to
prepare, without the loss of a mo-
ment for eventualities, sent from
the admiralty to all naval depots
and from the Horse Guards to Wool
wich arsenal this evening has con-
vinced the British public that "the
day" which German officers have
toasted for years is near and that
possibly before many hours the
might of England and the legions and
warships of the Kaiser will clash in
combat which will decide the fate
Of Europe.
The unconcealed bitterness of Ger
many over Premier Asquith's state
ment on the Moroccan situation in
the commons today and the very
guardedness Of that statement, have
convinced political critics this even
ing that the situation Is of the grav-
est character. The unconcealed ac-
tivity at the arsena's and shipyards
Of Britain, the cancellation of the
Second Divisions Norwegian cruise,
and the haste evident to get the En-
glish troops and volunteers into the
field, they believe, point to but one
concluslon-war.
From the British standpoint, war
now would come at the best possible
time, as throughout the country the
volunteers are mobillzing for their
annual maneuvers, and, II war is de-
clared England will be found, not
with an inert force to mobilize but
with an army primed and ready for
defense of the island, already in the
field.
Throughout London and all Eng
land this evening the public excite
ment is tense. On every corner, in
every city, before every bulletin
board eager crowds are waiting for
news of the expected clash, and few
believe other than that the day Is at
hand when the long-threatened con-
| fiict with the German legions Is to
come. Great satisfaction Is expressed
by those diplomats who will discuss
the crisis, in the fact that England
will have powerful allies, If It is nee
essary, to tame the Kaiser's ambi-
tion, and the opinion Is general that
Asquith acted we'll and boldly when
in the commons today, he firmly
stated that Great Britain could see
no alternative to standing fast for
what is deemed essential to the pow
er and supremacy of the nation
Germany Indignant.
! Berlin, July 27.-Bitter indigna-
ton prevails here this evening as the
result of the statements by Premier
Asquith and Opposition Leader Bal
four in the British House of Com
mons today. German officials de-
clare that the only Interpretation
that can be put upon their state
ments is that England has definitely
resolved to stand by France as
against Germany in the Moroccan
dispute.
Inasmuch as Germany considers
the points at issue between herself
and France none of England's busi-
ness, the newspapers bitterly de-
nounce the British statements.
1t Is generally admitted that If
Germany maintains her present po-
sition hostilities must ensue, as
France can hardly recede from her
openly asserted position without a

Out of the ENHANCEMENT of politi-

ing to show that look like real in

the drift of Wall Street influence

great money power OF tLt country
evidently believes Governo. IIar-

clear is that the Roosevelt talk is
