DON'T LOOK FOR PROOF
TAKE MY WORD, SAYS T. R.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 29.-Col-
onel Roosevelt today took direct is
sue with the statement from the
White House in which the republican
national committees action in the con-
tests at the Chicago convention was
justified. He asserted that Senator
Root admitted that he would have
voted to seat the Roosevelt delegates
in the Texas contests and he referred
to Nicholas Murray Buffers state
ment that the Roosevelt delegates
from Washington should have been
seated.
Roosevelt said in part: This at
tempted defense by Mr.. Taft doesn't
and cannot controvert a single state
ment made by me in my three arti-
cles in the Outlook l didn't consider

MISSING NURSE
FOUND MURDERED

CATSKILL, N. Y, July 29.-A body
which is positively identified as thai
of Miss Doris Snodgrass, the missing
New York girl, was found here to-
day.
The body was found lying face
downward in the mud in the creek
bed. There was no trace of water
lungs or evidence of violence. The
coroner's office is of the opinion that
it is a case of suicide.
The name 'Snodgrass" on an under
garment furnished the conclusive link
in the identification of the body which
was found murdered in Catskill creek.
Mrs. James Crider, a sister of Miss
Snodgrass, declared the description
fitted. The physicians say the body
was in the water four days.

have been considered. | merely took
the notorious cases where there was
no possibility of the facts being dis
puted. These cases alone, if 1t mad
not been for the downright theft per-
petrated by the Taft lieutenants would
absolutely have prevented Mr.. Taft's
nomination.
"If honestly organized the conven-
tion would have been against Taft by
more than 100 majority.
Il wish to state with all emphasis
that there is no room for honest doubt
regarding what happened at Chicago.
The fraud was as barefaced and
shameless as any ever committed by
Boss Tweed's machine in the days
when there were no pretenses of
holding a fair election in New York"

One Thousand Who Have Not Registered
Can And Must IF New Building
Carries

Although 1880 voters are registered
in the five Moscow precincts, fully
1000 voters, according to the poll OF
the Citizens Courthouse committee
have not registered, and it is within
the power of these 26OO voters to
carry the courthouse election and be
for progress in Moscow and Latah
county,
The Citizens Courthouse commit
tee has made a careful~and exhaustive
canvas of the voters in each of the
FIVE precincts. and it is absolutely
certain that if all legal voters, ilc'ud-
ing those who have not registered,
do their duty, the proposed new
courthouse will be carried at the elec-
ton tomorrow. Otherwise MOSCOW
and Latah county will continue pay
ing board to other counties for the
care of local prisoners, paying rent
officials, and taking the great risk of
the loss of title to millions of dollars
of property which would follow the
ignition of little blaze in that hoary
fire-trap which bears the name Of
Latah County courthouse
While the sentiment of the people
of Latah county is overwhelmingly in
favor of a new courthouse, there are
some instances of bitter opposition in
the outlying districts, and not one
voter who is opposed to the proposed
new building plan will fail to be al
the polls. But the fact that the reg
istration in Moscow is 1000 light, does
not indicate the same interest on the
part of those who favor the improve
ment.
There will be approximately $500
votes cast in the primary election in
Latah county tomorrow Of this two
thirds is necessary to carry the bonds
which will enable county which is
free from debt and worth SIT 10000 to
own it's own home and stop paying
rent. 1t is easy to see that the $500
registered and unregistered votes
in the five Moscow precincts are suf-
ficient to give the proposed court
house a good majority if every voter
will do his or her duty

TOXIC, Japan, July 29.-Worn out by
decreasing debility due to his dia-
bette condition, Mutsuhito, emperor of
Japan, died early today, July 80, at
the Imperial Palace, while the elder
statesmen of the nation and Yeshi
Hito, his son, were by his bedside.
For hours the dead mikado had been
unconscious and only his feebly fiut-
tering heart gave any indication that
life had not fed. Oxygen was admin
istered constantly during the last few
hours of his life. No arrangements
are announced for the funeral.

Mutshhito was the 121st emperor of
