DAVE IS BACK IN
BOSTON, CONF F|DENT
HE CAN RAISE BAIL
Bow Broker Cool as He Pre-
pares to Answer High
Finance Charges.

ROSTON, April 23-Robert E. Davle-
the how broker, who always carries
BibIe in his pocket, and for whom the
long arm of justice reached from the
Wall Street of Boston to the coffee
plantations of Rio Janeiro, arrived in
BOSTON at sunrise today, penniless, yet
confident, alleged to have stolen upward
of $500. 900, nevertheless sure that he
can raise unlimited bail.
When he alighted from the New YORK
train at $50 o'clock this morning he
faced a battery of newspaper cameras,
and after covering himself by tossing
his light overcoat over his head for
ten minutes he finally snapped out ir-
ritably:
"Iu pose for you men If you will only
20 away afterward.
Besides denying the story that he had
ATTEMPTED to commit suicide on the
long sail from Rio Janeiro to New YORK,
Davies only other remark was concern
ing the historical weather of New Eng
land. The land he left but fortnight
previous was so hot that even linen was
uncomfortable. In Boston it was snow
ing and continued until Davie was safe
Iy ensconced in the Jail.
The report that young Davie, whose
meteoric rise from office boy in a real
estate firm in Hyde Park to manipu-
lator of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of other peoples money Is historic,
mad fallen victim to the use OF drugs Is
Lnsustained except for his personal ap-
pearance.
ally being photographed, finger printed,
and measured for the rogues' gallery az
police headquarters this morning SAID
that he bore every mark of drug VIC
tim.
His attorney and his mother accom-
panied him from New York-to Boston,
hut the latter alighted at Trinity place,
on the outskirts of the city, and went
to her home.
The police inspectors had one interest
ing anecdote concerning Davies trip.
A substantial pool was made up on the
trip and the young financier appointed
himself as secretary and treasurer.
Later inspector Burr found him making
friends with the engineer and captain
in order to have the inside track on the
length of the run, judging by the quail
ity of coal, climatic conditions, and the
season.

DOCTOR ARRESTED
ON CHECK CHARGE:
IN M|NNEAP Oils
Man Locked in Cell Says
He's Victim of Cir
cumStanceS.

MINNEAPOLIS. April 23.-In a
strange city and in a cell, instead of in
cozy apartments in the Hampshire
Arms. a physician of Chicago is COM
miserating himself as a victim Of cir
cumstances. He is in the city jail.
Verification of the story will not be
Forthcoming until Monday, when the
bank in which he has a deposit of
s3.S00, as a deposit book he offers as
evidence seems to indicate, will open
for business.
The physician, who gives his name
as E. l.. Firmbaugh, and registered as
SUCH at his hotel. bought on April 20
last an automobile from the Nicollet
Avenue Automobile Company. He is
said to have offered in payment a
check for 81, 100 on the First National
Bank of Chicago, which took the usual
banking course for collection there.
H. II. c. Compton, representing q
detective agency, informed Manager o.
S. Fitch, of the automobile company,
that there were no funds to Firm
baugh's credit in the Chicago bank.
Believing it wise to make investiga-
ton, the police learned that by check
the doctor had paid for merchandise
of various kinds, such as furniture
and clothes, in Minneapolis, to an ag
gregate Of about $500. and had cashed
check for 500.

One Confesses, Another
Freed In Ballot Fraud

AUGUSTA. Me-, April Z3.-Following
an alleged confession Of Charles A.
wadsworth. a witness at the trial in the
Kennebec superior court. of George H.
Bangs, who was charged with defacing
ballots, Bangs was found not guilty and
released from custody late last night.
Wadsworth was arrested on the same
charge. He entered a plea of guilty
and was put under s, 900 bonds to await
action by the grand jury in September.
The full text of Wadsworth's state
ment is not given out because 1t Is said
to involve another person. He admits
dcfacing four ballots. but also takes the
responsibility for the defeat OF Ever
ett w. Moore, Democratic candidate for
alderman, in 1903. by the same method.

OverfatneSs Condemned

Fat, or even fattish, women readers
who want to be in the mode this year
must understand that the demand is for
lines. not curves, and govern themselves
accordingly.
That means OFF with the fat. 1t has
become a duty. Many are trying exer-
else or dieting; but II is certain they
will find these methods too slow ald
unreliable. The cheapest and safest
way to get in form for the Directoire
mode is by means of Marmola Prescrip-
ton Tablets. Any druggist (or the Mar
mola Co., 2S1 Farmer Building, Detroit,
Mich.) will give you large-sized case
of these elegant little fat reducers, con-
tanning a good, generous supply, for
seventy-fiye cents, and even this guam
tity should be enough to make de-
ctded impression on your excess fat.
Many have lost as much as pound
day.
These Marmola Prescription Tablets
may be used with impunity and likewise
perfect confidence, for, being made
strictly in accordance with the famous
Marmola Prescription, they Are, OF
course, quite harmless. They are rather
beneficial than otherwise, in fact, never
disturbing the stomach or causing
wrinkling of the flesh.

Removes Lead Pencil
From Stomach of Bow

MT. STERLING, Illinois, April o.
While operating on Eugene Richey, the
twelve-year- son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. s. Richey, DR.. Otis Johnson removed
from the stomach full length lead
pencil.
Eugene had been I'll since early in Jan
uary and II was impossible for the doc
tors to find out what was the matter
with him. He was first operated on
for appendicitis.
1t is believed that he swallowed the
pencil last summer while taking part in
a circus being given by some of the
children of the neighborhaod.

PREDICTS INCOME
TAX WILL PRECEDE
TARIFF REVISION
Senator Brown Confident
Constitutional Amendment
Will Be Adopted.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

ure. is SO far-reaching that 1t can hard
ly be realized in all its ramifications.
The possibility of this condition aris-
Ing is one of the chief reasons why
the Republican regulars in the Senate
are making determined fight to con-
troll all the most important committees
OF that body. There has been wide
spread impression that they wanted to
control because of the tariff situation.
That Is in part true: but back of this
and more important, lies the deepening
shadow OF income tax legislation,
spreading Itself over the whole legisla-
tive landscape.
Toryism must be in absolute control
OF the Finance Comittee. II income
taxation Is to be forced into the tariff
situation. That is what toryism thinks,
and 1t is determined to overlook no
opportunities to intrench itself.
Would Reduce Tariff Schedules.
To have 500 zoo. 900 revenue raised from
income taxes would compel sweeping
reduction Of many tariff duties; and
these the ultra-protectionists are deter
mined to preserve just as long as pos
sible.
Take sugar. The one conclusive argu-
ment always raised against a sweeping
reduction Of sugar duties Is that the
Government gets about $4,000. 900 annual
would provide twice this, and break
down the last bulwark Of the Sugar
trust. Other schedules could be cited
OF which the same is true.
The big politics In this developing
complication Is just beginning to be
understood. 1t promises to make a
startling diversion from the ordinary
routine of considering tariff measures.

VII SON TO SWING
AROUND THE CIRCLE
Harmon Conservatives Choice; Clark Progressive Dem
ocracys Champion, and New Jersey Governor Prob
ably the Link That Binds These Extremes.
BY JOHN SNURE.

News that Gov. Woodrow Wilson is
soon to set out on a Swing around the
circle" for the purpose of getting better
acquainted with the West, and that,
among other things. he will go to Lin
coin and be the guest of William Jen-
nings Bryan, has set the tongues Of
politicians, Democrat and Republican, to
working overtime.
OF course, they have all been expect
ing that Governor Wilson would sooner
or later set out to light some fires under
hie candidacy for the Presidency, but
now that he is about to do 1t ii has set
the political gossips to wagging their
heads wisely and thinking out loud.
1t has caused the more talk because
Gov. Judson Harmon and his friends are
getting extremely busy in their efforts
to stir up Harmon enthusiasm, as evil
denced by the meeting Of Democratic
members of the Ohio delegation in the
office Of Senator Pomerene last week.
The announcement OF the wilson loras
into the West, and the formal Launching
of the Harmon boom have come at
about the same time.
Cultivating Clark Boom.
And then there is the case of Speaker
Champ Clark. Mr.. Clark, in quiet
way, is giving his Presidential boom no
little cultivation. He is something OF
farmer and knows the ways of agricul-
ture. The Champ Clark Presidential
boom was a pretty tender plant when
it began to grow. But Champ is watch
ing over 1t. He never misses chance
to sprinkle a few drops of the water OF
encouragement upon 1t. 1t SO happens
that it has fallen into good soil and was
started at a time when the moon was
right. 1t has thriven wonder1uliy, anu
is growing Justify.
Champs friends are wonderfully BUSY:
both at the south end of the Capitol
and out in the country, and they nave
been making great progress. Thls mas
been so far true that In the last Iew
weeks one could easily hear no emo
of predictions that Champ Clark was
destined to be the man nominated by
the Democrats for President.
Dr.. Wilson's Anabasis.
Under the circumstances the fact that
Governor Wilson is about to manke an
anabasis into the country of the West.
where the potential Democratic votes
that will turn the trick in 1912 are sup
posed to lie, compels all the politicians
to sit I'D and take notice. And they
are doing both.
The recent signs of disposition on
the mart of William Jennings Bryan to
forget and forgive the past SO far as
Governor Wilson is concerned nave serV-
ed TO add much to the formidable ma
ture of his candidacy.

Hysterical When They
Find Head In Laundry

WIIrKESBARRE, Pa. April 2S.-Girl
employees of the Diamond City Laundry
who became hysterical when a human
head was found in q bundle Of linen
yesterday, are recovering from the ef-
fects Of their excitement.
The head, which 1t was learned had
come from p doctors office by mistake,
has been Returned. The laundry COL
lector explained that he had taken the
package containing the head from the
place where soiled linen was custom
arily left for him.
Miss Nellie Morris, who unwrapped
the package, fell in a swoon. and the
other girls who We're attracted by her
shrieks suffered severe mental shocks
when they spied the gruesome find.
The Washington times., 1911-04-23

, now. there are Just three men that
seem to be possibilities for 19l2. They
are the men here named-Harmon, VII
son, and Clark. True, william Jen-
welt. So long as he is around in the
vicinity and in good health and vigor
no national convention can meet WITH
out being more or less likely to noml-
nate him. But leaving him out OF con-
sidera tion,. the nomination seems cer-
tain to go to one Of the other three.
Harmon Conservative Candidate.
Governor Harmon is recognized as
the conservative candidate. If he Is
nominated It will be by the conservative
wing of the party. The men who named
Alton B. Parker in 1904 will be ls -gely
instrumental in naming Harmon II he
is named. The weakness Of Harmon
is that he seems to lack the capacity
to draw the votes of the progressive
wing OF the Democratic party, the Bry-
an wing. When the Democratic national
convention is held 1t will be insisted
that If Harmon is named the Bryan
Inen will desert him and that he will be
stranded, as was Parker.
Speaker Champ Clark is In a position
of great advantage in some respects. II
the Democratic House makes a record
that appeals to the country 1t Will be
great asset to Champ. Any good regi-
ment Of soldiers can make its colonel
a brigadier. and on the same principle
the House may promote Champ into the
White House. On the other hand, II the
House Democrats and the Democrats IN
Congress as a body are dtscedited II
will go hard with Mr.. Clark.
Wilson Strong With Both.
1t is going to be strongly urged in be-
half of Wilson that while Harmon
would not get the progressive Demo-
cratic vote and while Champ Clark
would be stronger with the Bryan or
progressive wing of the party than with
the conservative end of 1t, he, Wilson.
will appeal to both wings. He has made
a record as governor of New Jersey
that has appealed to progressives all
over the country. whether Democrats or
Republicans.
At the same time, he has a standing
with a large element of the conserva-
tives that Mr.. Clark does not have.
AS the man occupying a sort Of middle
ground. he is likely to draw much sup
port from both elements in the party.
Republicans as well as Democrats
the West. They will do this, among
other reasons, because they understand
that IL the Republicans nominate Presi-
dent Taft and the Democrats named
Judson Harmon, there Will be many
progressives of both parties who will
raise the cry that 1t is time for the
insurgents OF both parties to betake
them to the woods and form new
party.
