Discounted by Wilson
Headquarters

Washington. Nov. 14.-ln an effort
to offset the effects of the election of
Republican legislature in New Jer-
sy. there has been renewal in WASH
ington of the activities of the publicity
bureau of Gov. Woodrow Wilson. In
stories being sent out from the capi-
tai. 1t is being asserted that Gov. Will
son. despite the attitude Of the voters
at the recent election. will elect dele
gates who will be pledged to his sup
port in the Democratic convention.
when his name is presented for the
nomination for president.
In the matter sent out by the bureau
the statement is made that:
1t is believed by the leaders of the
Democratic party that Woodrow Will
son is the only man in that organiza-
ton having a chance of defeating
President Taft for reelection. The
Republican leaders are now SO con-
tidcnt that they question whether any
body can defeat the president" II is
also stated that:
The nomination of President Taft
again is assured. The recent meeting
OF the insurgents at Chicago is looked
upon here as a tizzle. Less than 200
representatives of the opponents of the
president We're present. With Presi-
dent Taft and Gov. Wilson facing each
other. it is conceded here that the
coming contest will be more bitterly
fought and exciting than any since

gRepublican state committees asking
them to take steps to bring about
presidential preference primaries for
the selection of delegates to the Re-
publican national convention. Where
the state laws do not provide for such
primaries. Senator La Toilette wants
to have them anyhow.
Senator Cummins of Iowa returned
to Washington after visit of the

statement that he will support Senator
La Toilette for the Republican NOM

President Taft would not be renom-

WI Urges Akiication,

Shanghai. Nov. 14.-Wu Ting Fang,
former Chinese minister to the Unit
ed States, who recently was appointed
secretary of foreign affairs under the
proposed reform administration, has
telegraphed long address to Peking
urging the regent, Prince Chun. to abb
dtcate. He points out that since the
emperor's edict admitting responsible
ty for present conditions and promis-
ing reforms, there has been an atroci-
Gus massacre and ten provinces have
severed themselves from the throne
without struggle.
WI Ting Fang adds that nothing
but the adoption of Republicanism can
bring peace and stop the shedding of
blood. The regent. he says. should
emulate the example Of the ancient
emperors, Hao aud Han, who abdicat-
ed after choosing the best availa BILE
substitutes.
DR. WI promises that if the regent
wakes up and works for the republic
the citizens will respect and support
him in a style compatible with his
birth. inasmuch as the peace and safe
ty of the Manchu clans are not ex-
cluded from the national aims.
The appeal concludes:
Our voice is hoarse and our tears
are exhausted. No more can be said

MURDER MYSTERY
GROWS DEEPER
Jail Suicide May Have Been
Murderer of an Unknown
Man

Aliquippa, Pa. Nov. 14.-Develop.
ments last night lead to the belief
that the body Of Mike Cobish, who
committed suicide at the Beaver Jail
last Wednesday night. now lying un-
claimed at the Beaver morgue, is that
of the murderer of a man whose body
was found yesterday afternoon in Il
a mile from here. The dead body
found by hunter who stopped at
the place for drink of water was
dressed only in underclothing. A
bullet had been fired into the back of
the head. The tragedy is believed to
have occurred over ten days ago.
1t was learned yesterday afternoon
after unsuccessful searches around
the premises for a clue, that two men,
who said they lived in Ambridge.
leased the farm October IS, but after
paying small deposit were not seen
again. The men, who gave their
alo L. Spindilis. went to Mrs. Eliza
beth Hickman, who lived in the house
until about three months ago, and
asked to rent the farm. She went
to-, Kernan's morgue here last night
and said the dead man much resem-
bled one OF the would he renters.
At the time Mrs Hickman refer
red the men to ]. w. Hall, burgess
of Aliquippa. and a real estate dealer.
who is agent for the Hickman prop
crty. The men signed lease for the
farm. When asked to make deposit
they were able to give only So. Hall.
who viewed the dead man last night,
noted resemblance to one OF the
men who signed the lease. These
renters who were to take possession
in several days. did not return.
A week ago man. who said his
name was Mike Cobish. left a freight
train at College Hill. near Beaver
Falls, and acted SO strangely that he
was arrested. and later sent to the
Beaver Jail pending an investigation
into his sanity. He said that he had
come from Woodlawn. near here.
moaned continually that his wife
would come from the old country and
kill him. At 9 o'clock last Wednes-
day night he was driven by his mania
to hang himself to his cell bars At
the time the rawlings of this apparent
~ insane man were not needed, but
when the body, much resembling
that of Cobish, was found in the we'll,
officials here were struck by the pos
sibility of the two having been the
renters of the farm. 1t was remem-
bered that Cobish seemed to suffer
from some terrible remorse together
with his fear that his wife was COM
ing to kill him.
On this theory Beaver county de-
tectives will renew their investiga-
tion tomorrow. The we'll in which
the body was found will be dragged
in an effort to find the weapon that
killed teh man, mis- clothes and other
evidences Of the crime.

out power to move hand or foot. His
fellow workmen could do nothing i'm

Haste was made to cut off all pow

appeared above his head. fire flew
from his hands and then his clothing
burst into red fire.
After the power had been cut off
Carlson WAS rushed to q hospital. The
upper part of his body is burned
black but he retains his mentality
and talks freely.
The superintendent of the station
said today that Carlson was wipins
