GREAT WHITE LIGHT
 FATHER OF CHILD
LUETTA SMITH oUTDoEs MOST EXTREME ORIENTAL DOG
 TRINE IN BELIEF

SANTA ROSA. Cal, Jan 13:-Luet- Ia Smith denied that Burke is the father of her child. and ascribed paternity to a great white fight ac- cording to the testimony of Mrs Elizabeth Thompson. of Alturas. who was introduced by Burke's counsel to show the insamty of the complain ing witness.
 According 70 the witness. Luetta Smith said the child was born of astral conception and if Burke had been the father she would have claimed him as such with pride.
 The kind and degree of belief in oriental occultism is compatible with insanity. wa,5 the theory of the testimony of Chares w. Thomas, Woodland lawyer. who gave it as his opinion that Luetta Smith is insane. Thomas stated that he is himself somewhat of an adept in the teachings of the Yogi, and that h,s opinion of the Smith woman's mental condition did not rise from tae mere fact of her adherence to occultisni. The vagaries in her belief, be said, were more weird than the g'eirdest Yogi could countenance.
 Attorneys in the case stated the hearing would last probably until February l. It went over until Tues day

 Springs a Surprise,
Prisoner Says He Served Sentence in the Peni-
 tentiay for Murder

Ed Murphy. alias Flanigan who according to his own admission IS an ex-couvict. was arraigned before Judge Owen Murphy Of Lowell, on the charge Of obtaining money under false ureiences and sentenced 10 pay a fine Of SlSO ln default of which he is to serve ane day for each dollar of the fine.
 Murphy. which Uame the prisoner says is the correct one, was ar rested in Bisbee several days ago and returned 10 Lowell by Officer HaH. He was taken before Judge Murphy Thursday afternoon and re- manded to jail upon a plea oi guilty. being unable to give the bond of si00 fixed by the court. Tho nearing was set for yesterday after noon. In the meantime. however, Murphy had changed his mind and decided that he would enter pea of guilty.
 The specific allegation of the charge was that Murphy had cashed a check drawn by one <. Stevens oH the Bank of Lowell in favor of Murphy. It was charged that Mur phy presented the check ct Ike White House saloon of Lowell and collected the amount, S12.40.
 When taken before Judge Murphy yesterday afternoon. the prisoner said T am going to make a c:ean

There is no stove down here and I nearly froze."
 When Judge Murphy pronounced his punishment, fine of SlS0 or six months, approximately, in jail, Murphy thanked Tim, but was evi- dently disappointed that his plea for clemency did not strike home more deeply, One of the proprietors of the White House was in the court room. as a witness in case the man held to his plea of not guilty. and Murphy asked him, Are yoH the man that had 10 come across with the s12?" Upon the answer that he was. Murphy replied. ~AIl right, you'll get your money As soon as serve out this six months I'll pay you that money am one good Irish man and III show you that | am a good fellow"
 lt is said that Murphy claimed order in the catalogue but was un- able. when placed to the test. of swing the correct words and signs When he appeared in Lowell he was apparently without any money and begged for enough money to get breakfast The next day he had roll of bills and was riding about the city in an automobile, which aroused suspiciIa on the part of officers. It is said that he spert about S109 in the city in the time lie was there but if anyone other that the prosecutors of the case were stung on bad checiss they have made no complaints to officers.

Col. Roosevelts Position.
The final declaration by Theodore
Roosevelt that he will not advocate
the denomination of Mr.. Taft. and
will not support the candidacy Of any
other man. caused both sorrow and
relief to the friends of the present
Executive. II removed the menace
of Mr.. Roosevelt as a formidable OPP
ponent and also indicated that he will
not openly espouse the cause of Sen
ator LaFollette or some other Pro-
gressive aspirant. II was saddening
in that Mr.. Taft will not have the
strenuous aid OF the man who four
years ago compelled his nomination
and made certain his election.
Some Consolation.
The only real consolation derived
from the Roosevelt utterance is that
he will maintain a neutral attitude.
This is considered far preferable to
his active warfare in behalf of some
ether candidate.
Following on the heels of the pro-
clamation of neutrality issued by EN-
President Roosevelt came hasty an
nouncement from Senator Pcnrosc
that he has never committed himself
to the denomination of Mr.. Taft He
made II plain that his mind is still
open and he will gladly jump into
the camp of any candidate sufficient
ly strong to prevent the nomination of
Mr.. Taft next year.
All these announcements have on
ly served to muddy the water and
prevent the taking of fish.
Navy Matters Up.

Meyer, would be obtained from the

of board of national defense. and

The Democrats have no fixed poll
cics beyond their determination to
destroy the protective tariff system.
They are guided by no principles. The
question Of the big trusts is entirely
beyond them. They will not illumine
the situation"
That TAFT Message.
Considerable of a stir was created
by President Taft's eleventh hour de-
termination to break all records by
sending In a one-subject annual mes
sage. Instead of discussing every
thing pending at home and abroad,
dividing his communication up into
fifty or sixty chapters he cut II down
to bare 5000 words and devoted all
the space to discussing the trust pro-
blcm. II thus became one of the short
