 sane Trying Case.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 2t-A plea that he had been under an intense ner- yous strain because he had been "shadowed" by things and hirelinEs' in the employ of the National Erectorx' Association and labor unions during tht dynamiting Investigation, did not avail County Prosecutor Baker, whea he appeared in the criminal court to. day, to SHOW cause why he should not be punished for contempt, and Judge John Markey fined him $50.
 Baker interrupted murder trial late yesterday when he forced Robert J. Poster, a detective for the Erectors' Association into court, and asked Judge Mackey to protect him against interference by Foster. The court said today the prosecutors action wes irregular and unnecessary, but added that he would instruct the grand jury 10 inquire into the identity of persons that had been annoying the prosecutor.
 
 which he had labored, Baker told the court that a member of the preceding grand jury had become insane through consideration of the alleged dynamite plot and had imagined he was John J. McNamara, on trial for his life. The man was not dismissed, the prosecutor said, because it was feared the public might misconstrue that action. so great was interest in the investigation.
 That he knew Detective Foster had been armed with a magazine pistol was the excuse offered by Baker for his attempt to search Foster after the judge had ordered him out of the rooIh No gun was found in Fosters posses sion by policemen who went thrsuga his pockets.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 21.-Unless ex- President Roosevelt takes specific ac- ton withdrawing his name he will go before the voters of Nebraska at the coming April primary as Republi- can candidate for the presidential nomination.
 The Oyster Bay statesman was for mally made a candidate today, wheth- CT willingly or not, is undetermined, by the filing of the primary petition containing the required 25 names with the Nebraska secretary of state.
 John Yeiser, an Omaha attorney, presented the petition and paid the fil- ing fee, giving notice that later ne would file a supplementary petition and list of sixteen names, the latter to be known as Roosevelt delegates and as such to go on the primary bal lot The Yeiser filing at once stirred Republican circles. The followers of Taft insist that Yeiser has not beel! counselling with the Taft organization, and fear the presentation of today s petition means taht the third term boom for Roosevel is finally launch cd in a state where the voters want to declare their preference at the polls and in the hope that in sweeping vic tory for Roosevelt in Nebraska may re- suit in stampede elsewhere.
 Mir. Yeiser declined to say whether or not he was authorized by Colonel Roosevelt to file the petition. He ad. mitted however that he had been III correspondence with the former presi- dent

CONGRESS- HAS
 TAKEN RECESS HOUSE AND SENATE DISPOSE OF ROUTINE BUSINESS QUICKLY
 AND QUIT FOR XMAS.
HEAR TARIFF REPORT
Democrats and Republicans Debate Over Meaning of the Presi-
 dents Message.

Washington Dec. 21.--Both houses of congress disposed of their busi- ness somewhat hurriedly today to prepare the way for adjournment over the Christmas holidays
 The senate listened to the reading of the Presidents message on bank ing and currency reform, and reform in the departmental work of the government, including a suggestion for the extension of the civil service to all local government offices throughout the country, and then upu the conference report on the Ur- gent Deficiency bill, which was agreed to. Beyond this, no business of importance was transacted.
 In compliance with the concurrent resolution previously agreed to, the senate adjourned to January 3,
 The house made short work of the conference report on the Urgent De- ticiency bill and other routine busi- ness, and adjourned early this after noon, to reassemble on January 3 Shortly thereafter, the subpect of tariff revision will be taken up and wiM occupy the greater part of the remainder of the session.
 The full report of the tariff board. tn0athar with a great array of gfa- tistics, accompanied the Presidents message on revision of the woolen schedule, was ordered printed by the house today.
 The reports consist of 2,570 pages of figures and statistics. Several days will be required for the tabu- lation and printing. Before sending the report to the printer, the house listened to a partisan debate between Democrats and Republicans regard ong the meaning of the Presidents message. The Democrats allege that the wool message was indicated in the Underwood bill passed by the house last session. Representative Payne, author of the present tariff law, took the opposite view. declar- ing that the message and the tar- if board report did not justify any such reduction as that attempted in the Underwood boil.

Shifts Responsibility of Hartman Aid to Campaign Fund in
 1904.

New York, Dec. 21-Two potent d. yelopments of today gave strong indi- cation to political savants that Colon. el Roosevelt is slowly but insistenly trying to pave a way to capture the 1912 Presidential nomination.
 Correspondence recently between George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican National Committee, and Colonel Roosevelt, i'll which denial is made that Colonel Roosevelt sought the aid of E. H. Hartman in getting up Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904 was made public gratutiously, eviden :. ly at the instance of Mr Roosevelt.
 Through an unexpected petition filed in Nebraska John C. Yeiser, ac;- iIk for Roosevelt sympathizers, sought an order requiring that Roosevelt's name be placed upon the ballot in the com ng Nebraska primary which presi- dential preference will be expressed
 The act of handing out the corre- spondence betweAn MT. Roosevelt aad MT. Sheldon was regarded as bold effort on the part of the ex-Presideat and his packers to clear him of Ill responsibility for the aid asked POT of MT. Hartman in he'19O4 presidential campaign.
 The revelation that MT. Roosevelt t. to the White House and sought Wall Street contribution so as to avert the defeat that seemed imminent, was made in letter written by MT. Har- riman in January, 1906, to a friend, Gibney Webster That was the fam z~bus Where do I stand" letter
 From the sudden correspondence op- <ened up between MT. Roosevelt and Mir. Sheldon it now appears that Mr. Roosevelt is trying to shift upon Mr. Hartman, now dead, and Mir. Bliss, now dead, all responsibility for any aid supplied by Wall Street
 Colonel Roosevelt vigorously denied that he asked Mir. Hartman to go so the White House just before the elec- tion for the purpose of talking over campaign contribution. He insists that MT. Hartman upon that visit urg- ed the president to use his influence to have some of the Republican nat ional committee fund diverted to the New York state campaign to help Higgins, who seemed in danger of de- feat.
 In his letter MT. Roosevelt sweeps aside the whole Hartman episode and MT. Sheldon goes to his aid by giving an entirely new version of the affair. Mr. Sheldon, as does Colonel Roose- welt, puts the transaction up to Mir. Bliss and MT. Hartman, eliminating Roosevelt of any part of it.
 In telling the campaign fund deal MT. Sheldon says that the $240,000 raised in the 1904 fight through the efforts of MT. Hartman, aided by M,. Bliss, was handed to former Cover

TRAGIC DEATH OF
 : B0B" LUT7RFlL. WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN FOUND DEAD IN HARDING'S DRAIN
 YESTERDAY,
MOTHER PROSTRATED
No Evidences of Foul Play-Had Snf. fered Accident and Heart
 Attacks.

Robert R. Luttrell, 36 years old we'll known in this city, was found dead yesterday morning about { clock at the edge of Harding $ drain, Fifth avenue and Virginia streets, the lower part of the body being submerged in the icy water Ne groes living on the edge of the stream discovered the body and re- ported the matter to the police. Ho,- derness ambulance was called and the lifeless form conveyed to the morgue of that firm where the verdict of the coroner's jury, empanelled by Coron- CT H. E. Williams, was to the effect that the deceased came to his death from exposure No evidence of fo Il play was found.
 From the appearance of the ground surrounding the immediate vicinity of the location of the body it was evi- dent that Luttrell had made an effort to crawl back up the bank But the reason for his having fallen into the stream, or even for being in that part of town is a mystery, as he lived at No. 122 Nebraska street. Olrly the lower limbs were in the water and there was no evidence whatever to show that the man had been drowned Nor was there any evidence of foul play, as his watch and other valuables were found upon the body. The watc T had stopped at 6:15 o'clock.
 The general opinion is that Luttrell started for his home last night in an intoxicated condition and having mis- taken Fifth avenue for Sixth avenue walked off the banks of the bayou and not being able to climb to the top of the bank had gone to sleep and died from exposure or his heart had failed in his struggles to scale the emba ank- ment- It was said that he had sui fered an attack similar to heart fail ure the day before his death, and last week while at work he fell from car and fractured three ribs
 Luttrell has been employed as a car Cotton Belt shops since 1901. He is a Cototn Belt shops since 1901. He is d member of the Eagles and Odd Fellows and also of Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America. He is survived by his mother, who lives at No. 122 Nebraska street, two sisters, Miss Clara Luttrell, who lives with he. mother; and Mrs. E. L. Smith, No. 1414 East Sixth avenue, and a broth- CT, George Luttrell, of Homer, La The funeral arrangements will not he made until George Luttrell arrives here.
 The dead mans mother is in criti- cal condition as the result of her son g death. She had recently recovered from a serious illness and the shock prostrated her.

 In the party are R. R. Baton, who IS in charge o1 the car; w. E. Browne, a prominent attorney and vice presl- dent of the McAlester Commercial Club, and W. F. Brooks, prominent today by H. A. Peoples, merchant, and E. F. Hall, capitalist of McAlester, who will make the trip with the par ty through fifteen states.
 The "Pittsburg of the Southwest advertising car is similar in many ways to the Arkansas on Wheels train, which recently made a trip through the Northern and Eastern States. It is being sent over the coull- try by the business men of McAles- ter at cost of about $2O,000. The car will be out four months, making three or four of the best cities in eacn state and fifteen states are to be visit ed before the trip is ended
 From Pine Bluff the McAlester boosters will go to Mississippi, Louis- jana, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia. Washington City, Baltimore, Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, iowa, Missouri and Kansas
 The McAlester boosters are wearing caps on the front of which in gold letters appears the name "McAlester.' In the car is a complete assortment of agricultural exhibits and a fine dis play of minerals and manufactured r. ticles found around and made in Mo- Alester. An attractive display of photographs of public buildings and other attractive structures in McAles- ter is shown. One, which the boost CTS point to with pride, is that of Mas- onic Temple building. While only four stories in heighth, it is reputed to be one of the most complete buildings oi it's kind in the world. The organ in the Temple alone cost $26,000.
 We are going to remain here until Wednesday anyway" said MT. Browne. Our object in coming is to familiarize residents of other states with our re- sources and facilities, in order to en- courage homeseeker and investors to come our way. One of our most at- tractive advantages is cheap fuel. We have iron, limestone, manganese and fire clay. The agricultural products are varied, such as corn, cotton, wheat. oats. alfalfa, potatoes, fruits, vege- tables and milomaze and cafricorn. Stock raising is an important indus try.
