Washington,- November 15.-(Special) )- P. D. Barker, P. M. Long and other lead ing republicans of Alabama. had con ference with President Taft al noon te- day After the conference no statement was given out, but it is understood that several appointments to be made soon in Alabama were carefully gone over and appointments are expected to be an- nounced soon.
 It is probable that recess appointment for postmaster at Birmingham will be made within a few days, though less than three weeks remain before the meeting of Congress when another appointment for confirmation will have to be made
 While Mir Long and MT. Barker, the Alabama referees, declined to discuss the matter after the conference with the President, they did not deny that a recess appointment for this place may be made and that T. H. Aldrich will be the ap- pointee.
 o. D. Street. who has been in New York for a few days, was in Washington today and was in the conference. Other Alabama republicans present were Jack A. Bingham of Talladega and Willis Q. Bass of Birmingham.
 The Alabama republicans in the party are confident that any contest against the nomination of President Taft for second term made in Alabama will be unavailiny.

 That Beattie is guilty of the willful. deliberate and cruel murder of his young wife, I have not the slightest doubt, nor is it insisted that there should be any greater relief offered than the commuta- tion of his sentence to imprisonment for life.

CONDUCT PUBLIC
 BUSINESS BETTER Gov. Harmon Makes Plea
 for Improvement TOO MUCH POLITICS
The Governor of Ohio Addresses the Trans .lIississippi COngress-ln- troduce Resolutions-To
 Aid the D. A. R.

Kansas City, November 15.--A plea for improvement in the spirit and methods of conducting public business by the government was made by Gov ernor Judson Harmon of Ohio in an address before the trans Mississippi congress tonight
 Tt is said we have too much poli- ties in our business" he said. We certainly have generally too little busi- ness in our politics. It Is q serious re- flection on the institutions of which We are so proud that the many and costly enterprises undertaken by pub lie agencies should be carried on in such loose, slip shod and inefficient fashion that, with honorable exceptions here and there which show the possibl- ities of improvement, what is done by the government takes longer, costs more and is worth less than the same thing in private hands.
 "Our government cannot fulfill our just expectations until 1t shall faithful ly represent economy, thrift attention to details and fidelity to honest pur- pose in accomplishment, for which the American people are distinguished. And nobody can do more to bring this about
  resources the cost of maintaining the government chiefly falls"
 Referring to the waterways, Gover- nor Harmon said.
 "The Panama canal has given added importance to our waterways, also to carriers on the high seas. These must be looked after or we shall be main- taining costly canal for the benefit of other nations. We shall not get our share of the worlds commerce while we have to depend on foreign carriers.
 We require no subsidiaries. These could not be fairly distributed any more than other special favors. All that Is needed is to give American enterprise a fair chance by changing our antiquated navigation laws, which have driven our commerce from the seas"
 Many resolutions were introduced today, the principal one asking the convention to declare in favor of woman suffrage. Among the other resolutions presented | were: l .Reeommending that the congress aid | the Daughters of the American Reyolu- ton 10 procure a national highway from | ocean to ocean.
 Recommending the appointment of a committee to investigate the navigation | laws of the country with the intention of stimulating the movement to procure a permanent merchant marine. | Providing for a government department | of health.
 "To petition the national congress to pass laws permitting foreign ships to get American registers and carry cargo In the coast line trade between American ports. The congress today adopted the plan of the committee on reorga nization to estab- fish permanent headquarters and keep up the activities of the organization every day The executive committee later will decide on the permanent headquarters.

FIRST STATEMENT BY MRS. VERM|LYA Makes Sweeping Denial of Any Guilty Knowledge
 of Deaths

Chicago November 15.--Mrs Louise Vermilya today made the first public statement she has given out since she was placed in jail on charges of poison ing Policeman Arthur Bissonette. She denied guilty knowledge of 10 deaths that have occurred beneath her roof in the last IS years. She received news paper men in the county jail hospital where she is recovering from the effects of poison said to have been taken by her while under surveillance.
 She deniel she had poisoned herself or any of the three men, Bissonette, Rich whose visccera arsenic had been found in quantities. She disputed statements by persons to the police that she had other than business relations with Un- dertaker c. c. Boysen. She also classed as false stories that she had posed as Smiths fiance or wife and declared her self the victim of peculiar chain of circumstances which she did not create.
 T never poisoned any one,' said Mrs. Vermilya. "All those who died came to my home when they were pretty near done for and then died on my hands. How they got poison l do not know. l did not give it to them Smith simply was a boarder. 1 was engaged to marry Bis sonette and I never heard that Miss Lydia Rivard was engaged to him until after his death. l did not try to com
 init suicide. I did not know the pepper box brought to me contained arsenic. 1 asked the nurse to bring me some white pepper, never thinking she would bring me the box of roach powder. In fact, forgot the roach poison was in the pantry. All stories about my having a fondness for the dead men are false and when 1 go on the witness stand as I shall insist on doing l will have no difficulty in proving that l am but q victim of ghastly circumstances

ATTORNEYS FOR. THE
 MEATPACKERS BUSY
Want the Supreme Court to Pass on the Question Be-
 fore Further Procedure

Chicago, November 15.-Attorneys for the indicted meat packers were busy to- day preparing for the next move in their latest action to obtain a ruling by the United States supreme court of the valid ity of the Sherman antitrust law which they contend is not now a positive law because "the reason rue' makes it i'm possible to determine the legality.
 The hearing on the habeas corpus writs granted yesterday come up tomorrow Whatever way it is decided the case will at once be appealed to the federal su- pI eme court it is said
 Meantime the criminal cases against the 10 packers will be halted because the Federal Judge Carpenter, the packers having surrendered themselves in Circuit Court Judge Kohsaat's domain yesterday.
 Attorneys who have studied the legal phases of the latest action of the pack CTS today said the decision of the supreme court in the present case would prob ably be of greatest interest to all busi- ness combinations.
 Now that the sherman act, according to tiie dltoIHey lor the packers, has been made indefinite, they question the worth Of the law. They say that they want a decision by the highest tribunal before proceeding further. They contend that the real value of the law must be de- cIded as a result of the present proceed ing.
 If such a decision can be obtained, the attorneys say, the ruling will have an ef- feet on all corporations that have been or may be prosecuted under the Sher- man act. While convicted officers of the American Naval Stores company have their case up for review by the supreme court, it is said that their suit does not exactly resemble the packers case The naval stores review, it is said, will not get the attention of the supreme court for some time.
 The present case, however, attorneys say. will receive attention soon and the ruling, 1t Is contended by the packers probably will settle the exact status of the sherman law as modified by the su- preme courts ruling that unreasonable restraint" must be shown.
 Among the concerns that may be affect ed are the various lumber .corporations, the United States Steel corporation, the International Harvester company, the American Sugar Refining company, the American Naval Stores company, the American Tobacco company and the Standard oil company

RECORD ADMITS HE DECOYED TEACHER Sentence Is Suspended Un- til After Trial of Other
 Accused Men

Lincoln Center, Kan, November 15.-- An admission of guilt in the tar party case came today. Edward Ricord, a barber, admitted he decoyed Miss Mary Chamberlain, d school teacher, to the point near Shady Bend where she was tarred on August '. He went before Judge Glover and entered d plea of guilty. Sentence was suspended until after the trial of the other accused men.
 Ricord has been in jail for the last three months awaiting action on an appeal from justice court sentence of a year for complicity in the attack on Miss Chamberlain. He was the first man arrested in connection with the tar party case It is alleged he received s5 for his part in the affair. Accord ing to Miss Chamberlain she accom- painied Ricord on the night of the at tack under the impression that he was taking her to a dance. Ricord expects leniency as the result of his confess sion. Attorneys for both sides in the case spent the greater part of today collecting witnesses and evidence to be used tomorrow when the application for a change of venue in the case of Everett w. Clark, charged with lead Ing the attack on Miss Chamberlain, comes up for hearing.
 Clark contends a prejudice exists against him in this county Many wit nesses are to be called tomorrow. Among them are several newspaper men.
 The defense asserts, that many news paper reports of the affair were highly colored and this tended to create preju- dice. It is further charged that Prose- cutor McCanless forced Edward Ricord to grant reporter an interview bring ing the prisoner from the jail late at night for that purpose.
 By recent decision of the Kansas supreme court it was held that man who has formed an opinion in case from reading newspaper reports is not necessarily disqualified to sit on a jury. Sentiment in the case is not wholly with Miss Chamberlain. Friends of Clark and the eight other defendants have been active in creating sympathy for the accused men.
 Interest in the case centers about Clark, who is wealthy and influential. Clark is quoted as having said. that he would spend his entire fortune If neces-. sary to avoid Imprisonment. E
