WARM POLITICAL
 FIGHT IN PANAMA
Bitter Struggle to Secure Nomination of the
 Liberals

New Orleans, June 24.-Politics in Panama is sizzling, according to mail dispatches from the canal zone printed here this morning. The pilgrimage to Washington of several prominent poli- ticians has boosted interest to fever heat and there is considerable specula- tion as to the probable outcome.
 Locally, say the advices, the contest over the presidential nomination is daily growing more bitter between the adherents of President Arosmena and Dr. BeIisario Porras, who represents Panama at Washington The friends of the latter are particularly angry because Carlos Arosmena, nephew of the President who formerly occupied the same post now occupied by Porras and who is at present minister of pub lie works, Is negotiating treaty at Washington covering the canal zone boundaries without taking pr. Porras into consideration.
 In addition to reports from Wash ington to the effect that President Taft has given audience to young Arosmena, accompanied by Colonel Goethals, chairman of the canal com mission, at which Dr. Porras was not even present, have not cooled the feel ings of Porristas
 On the other hand the followers of President Arosmena are not backward in making their feelings known. The warfare between Los Heehos. an Aros- mena newspaper. and LaPrenza, a Porras newspaper, lends zest to the situation.
 The entire struggle at present Is to secure the nomination of the liberals. If Arosmena is chosen by the liberals hA twill OnnOgifif from the conservatives, but 1t is generally un- derstoodA that If Dr. Porras Is chosen he will be vigorously opposed by the conservative party The liberals are in the majority and their candidate, it is thought will be elected

BODEKER RETURNS
 FROM ROCHESTER Chief Says Convention. Was
 Very Beneficial SYSTEM OF SIGNALS
In Large Cities It Is Practically Im- possible for an Offender to . Escape-Next Convention
 at Havana

Chief of Police George H. Bodeker re- where he went to attend the annual session of the National Association of Chiefs of Police Chief Bodelxer talks interestingly of his trip and says that it was the most beneficial convention that he has ever attended.
 q believe that the chiefs who attended the convention at Rochester derived more benefit from 1t than from any previous meeting. The talks were all interesting and instructive and dealt chiefly with the best methods of operating the police department The most interesting speech was made by Deputy Commissioner Dou- gherty, the newly appointed head of the New York police department.
 For the first time a police chief from Cuba, was present, the chief of police of Havana making a short talk to the convention. He spoke English with diff ficulty, but what he, said, was very in- structve. Through his efforts 1t was prac- tically decided to hold the convention in Havana in 1913. There were numerous po- lie officials from Canada present. includ- ing the chief of the Northwestern Royal Mounted, the most famous police organ ization in the world.
 "I returned by way of Washington and inspected the police system there as well as at Philadelphia and Buffalo. 1 was much impressed with the system and will confer with Commissioner Lane in regard to establishing one in Birming- ham.
 Northern Signal Systems
 But the most interesting as well as im- pressive thing thai 1 saw while away was the wonderful; system of signals in the great cities of the north. Buffalo has a very effective one as has Wash ngton. It is possible to call police man in any part of the city at any time and give him instructions. It is possible to call every police officer in the city and talk to them all at once.
 q saw an illustration of the benefits derived from such a system while I was in Washington. 1 was sitting in the off, flee of Major Sylvester when a report came in from a suburban precinct in the city of Washington and told them of the crime, furnishing them with description of the murderer and before left at~1s O clock it was reported that the offender, a neg-o, had been captured. Major Sylvester told me that with the signal system it was practically impos- sible for man to do anything and get away.
 Dougherty Very Capable
 q was mucn impressed with Deputy Commissioner Dougherty of New York. For years New York has had the repu- tation of being the most poorly officered city in the United States, but under Com missioner Dougherty l feel certain that this condition will be rapidly changed
 q had very enjoyable visit and re- turned by way of Philadelphia and Wash ington. Another thing that was done was the appointment of committee of four with Major Sylvester as chairman to see Governor Dix and protest against the passage of a bill by the New York legislature providing that an officer shall not have the right to question his pris- oner except In the presence of a lawyer

unknown dramatist, Henri Bernstein.
The morning after the first perform
ance of LIE Detour," an actress and
a playwright awoke to find themselves
famous.
Naturally. Bernstein has ever since
felt himself indebted to his discoverer
and his greatest plays have been de-
signed for her exploitation 1t was
for Nine. Simone that 1.-THE Thief
was written, and the plays we know
as "The WhirlWind" and "The Re-
demption of Evelyn Vaudray"
While it is not altogether impossible
that arrangements may be made by
which Nine. Sinone may give some
performances of 1.-THE Thief" in Eng
lish, the new Bernstein play will be
the piece de resistance of her roper
toire. Presumably. Louis n. Parker,
author of 'Pomander Walk" who has
SO frequently proved himself the most
adroit of adapters, will be entrusted
with the work of preparing the new
play for American audiences
In connection with Nine. Si1none's
intention of playing in English, it may
be mentioned that she has already
done so with great success in London.
The English critics declare that there
was not trace of the accent and false
rhythm that have marred the English
of other celebrated foreign actresses
who have attempted this feat. More
over, it is claimed for Nine. Simone
that she can act in German with the
same ease that she displays in Eng
lish and her native tongue.
When Nine. Simone comes to this
country. NJ. CaSimer-Perier, son of one
of Frances most brilliant ex-presi-
dents will accompany her

Chicago, April 1S.-Carter H. Har
rison took the oath of office last night
and became mayor of Chicago for the
fifth time He was inducted into office
without great ceremony and except
that the council chamber in the new
city hall was crowded with friends, the
meeting resembled an ordinary session
of the council.
Fourteen new aldermen, 13 of them
Democrats, also took the oath of office,
making the new council q Democrats
to % Republicans.
Mayor Harrison avoided an effort to
make him head a parade through the
downtown streets and went alone from
his home to the city hall, entering a
side door some time before the parade
headed by several bands reached the
main entrance.

she who captured the dashing M. Cas-

EDDY SUIT GOES OVER.
Action Postponed in Both Federal and
State Courts.

Concord, n. H, April 1s.-Litiga-
ton over the will of Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy, founder of the Christian Science
church, has been postponed by action
in both the state and the federal
courts.
In the United States circuit court, in
the suit of DIR. E. ]. Foster Eddy, Of
Waterbury, VT, adopted son Of Mrs.
Eddy, attacking the validity of the
for Executor Henry NJ. Baker and the
other defendants filed demurrer at
tacking the complainant on several
grounds.
In the Merrimack county superior
court counsel for George W. Glover,
in his suit of a similar character, filed
an amendment to their bill asserting
that the residuary clause of the will
should be declared invalid because it
is indefinite, their contention being
that no one knows precisely what the
Christian Science religion is They
also protested against the admission
as parties to the case of persons. al
legged relatives of Mrs. Eddy, who have
asked leave to intervene.
A new figure appeared in the litiga-
ton when counsel for George w.
Glover's son, George w. Glover, IT,
notified Chief Justice Wallace, of the
superior court, that they would short
ly file motion for leave to intervene
in Glover's suit. They said they would
base their action on the ground that
George w. Glover. jr., was a minor
when the deeds of settlement were
executed between his father and DR..
Foster-Eddy and Mrs. Eddy. and that
if the court should declare the resi-
duary clause of the will invalid but
bar Messrs. Glover and Eddy from a
share in the residue because of this
agreement, the property should go to
George w. Glover, jr., as next of kin.

sent kilograms to some of the counties
where the lid had been pIied up a lit

had been taken or were being taken

been receiving numerous explanations
about the lid in these counties ever

sheriffs in the different counties do not
enforce the law, we have an custer

just such cases and we will invoke its
aid to getting officers who will enforce
the law and obey their oaths of office.
The governor and L are together on
this proposition and we will give each
