MIKE DONLIN WILL
REJ0IN THE GIANTS
WILL HOLD DOWN THE SUN GAR
DEN AND is EXPECTED TO
MAKE GOOD

New York, Nov. 90.-Baseball fans
here today greeted with delight the
announcement, unofficial, but apar-
emily authoritative-that Mike Don
lin will play right field for the Giants
next season. 1t was declared that
negotiations have been practically
concluded with the Boston Nationals
for Mikes transfer to Manhattan in
exchange for Jack Murray, and $4,000
in cash.
Since the defeat of the Giants in
the worlds series, Manager McGraw
has been casting about for a right
fielder to take the place OF Murray,
who failed to make even one hit in
the series.
Donlin rejoined the Giants in the
middle of last season, after being out
of the game several years, but was
used by McGraw only as a pinch hit
ter. He seemed to have slowed III
and McGraw decided to let him &c
to Boston, where he made good.

HIRED A BARBER TO AID

CHAMBERLAIN OUT RIDING;
THEY DID THE REST
TORE CLOTHES OFF THE GIRL
WHILE ONE POURED ANOTHER
RUBBED TAR UPON HER
NAKED BODY

Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. 20
How the Shady Bend tar party" met
at the mill of e. G. Clark, one of the
wealthiest citizens of the community,
and arranged the details of the plot to
tar Miss Mary Chamberlain, the
school teacher whose frightful exper
ience at the hands of band of men
and boys last August convulsed all
Kansas, was told on the witness stand
by Chester Anderson, one of the
party" at the beginning Of the trial
today.
The three men on trial today were
Sheriff. Clark, brother of E G. Clark,
the miller who pleaded guilty, and
John Schmidt and A. N. Simms, far
mers. Anderson testified that they
we're not members of the band who
actually spread the tar as they
came to the rendezvous on foot and
were unable to keep up with the 9TH
efs, who rode motorcycles.
County Attorney McCanless made
the opening statement for the prose
cution. Narrating the entire history
of the case, he told how the plot was
laid in Shady Bend August z; how
Edward Ricord. the Beverly barber.
was hired to take Miss Chamberlain
out in a buggy on the pretense of es-
corting her to country dance and
then to deliver her over to the men
with the tar. hiding behind the fence.
He told how Chester Anderson and
Delbert Kindelsparger had played the
highwaymen on the barber and the
girl
"They held up their buggy at the
point of pistols" McCanless declared.
"They took the young woman from
the buggy and threw her on the
ground. They tore off her clothes,
and while one poured another rubbed
the tar upon her naked body. All of
the men wore masks"
While the three defendants had not
been at the actual "tarring" McCar
less said, by their own boast, the
reason they were absent was because
they were unable to keep pace with
the motorcycles. They were equally
to blame with the others, he said.

EMIL s1,RoUss OF CHICAGO is
SAID TO HAVE BEEN LOVER
OF THE MURDEREss.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 2O.-Gertrude
Gibson Patterson was put on trial in
the dingy West side court today,
charged with the murder, on Septem-
Der 25, OF her husband, Charles A. Pat
terson. At the time of the alleged
murder, Patterson, who came here
from Chicago for his health, had only
fortnight or so to live.
Few recognized the demure, graceful
figure clad in a blue tailored gown,
and the serene face lighted By large,
dark eyes, as she entered the court
room. Not until she had passed with
in the railing surrounding lawyers and
newspaper men and taken a seat be-
hind her attorney, o. N. Hilton, with
-aer back squared to the crowd, did
the spectators realize that the prin-
cipal figure in q story said to include
a romance with Chicago millionaire,
as well as the dark climax of murder.
was before them.
Long before 10 O'Clock, the hour set
for beginning the session, the court
yard was packed with throng of
persons anxious to catch a glimpse of
the defendant.
The Patterson case will be the first
to be tried under the new jury sys
tenn in Colorado, by which the names
of 1000 taxpayers are kept in Jury
Wheel from which they are taken
haphazard. In the venire of 60
drawn today, it was noted that large
number of the men were young. The
state is not particularly desirous of
combating the influence of beautiful
wcman in distress before jury of
men who may not have reached their
complete sentimental maturity.
The name of Emil Strouss, of Chi
cago a wealthy clothing manufac-
turer, was brought into the case when
Special Prosecutor Benson was ex-
amining Venireman Lewis Cohen. He
asked Cohen if he was acquainted
with or had any dealings with the Chit
cagoan.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON
FOR La Toilette
CALIFORNIA EXECUTIVE is ALSO
IN FAVOR OF A PRESIDEN-
TIAL PRIMARY ELECTION

Sacramento, Calf, Nov. 2O.-Gov-
ernor johnson came out squarely for
La Toilette for president and a di-
rect presidential primary, in formal
statement issued today. Declaring
that while joker in the primary law
Of 1909 gave the party in power full
right to send a solid delegation for
La Toilette, the governor indicated
that he was sacrificing politics to
principle and would insist that the
people be given the right to name
first hand their choice for president.
He pointed out that President TAFT
had favored San Francisco in it's fight
for the exposition which might swing
the voters of that city in the presi-
dental favor. But even in the face
of this possibility and with the joker
in the law designed to perpetuate the
power of the old Southern Pacific
machine, the progressives would still
insist on direct presidential prefer
ence primary. he said.

ONLY A Big CELEBRATION
MExIcANs WERE REJOICING IN
ANNIVERSARY OF BEGIN
MING OF REVOLT
THE UNITED STATES is READY
WILL PRESERVE NEUTRALITY
AND PREVENT FlLlBUsTER-
ING EXPEDITIONS

Ell Paso, Nov. 2O.-This city was
greatly excited early today by sounds
of firing at Juarez, at first supposed
to be an attack by Reyistas on the
federal garrison. 1t developed, how
ever, that the discharge of firearms
was incidental to a celebration by the
garrison Of the anniversary of the
Madero revolution, which ended in
driving Porfirio Diaz from the presi-
dency of the Mexican republic.
The firing of the celebrants lasted
an hour or more, the number of shots
fired being estimated at thousand.
El Pasoans were aroused from their
slumbers and flocked to the bridges
possible, what they felt sure was
battle.
This impression was depend by
the knowledge that the Juarez garri-
son has been on the alert for some
sudden developments in connection
with reports of revolutionary. activi-
ties in which the name of General
Reyes, now under arrest by the Uni
ted States government, has been par
ticularly connected.
The Mexican officials doubled pre-
cautions after the arrest of General
Reyes, fearing that any act might
precipitate trouble. The feeling of
anxiety over the situation spread in
a modified degree to those along the
side of the Rio Grande. When day
light arrived and it was possible for
reports to cross the river the true
situation was disclosed.
It was learned in addition that one
hundred reinforcements arrived in
Chihuahua in time to participate in
the anniversary celebration. Consid-
erable Significance is attached by To-
cal observers to the fact that the
government has deemed it wise to
strengthen the force occupying Jua-
rez.
