Mr.. ROOSEVELT
ACCUSES TAFT
Of Being the Receiver of
Stolen Goods.
SUPPORTERS OF PRESIDENT
Also Accused of Being Unfit
to Associate With
Honest Men,"
A REDHOT EDITORIAL REPLY

Washington, Sept. ga re-
markable editorial castigation is ad-
ministered to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt by the Washington Star
"a castigation such as perhaps no
other ex-President ever was sub
jected to by prominent newspa-
per. A striking cartoon. depicting
Uncle Sam as weeping because a
man who has been President would
utter such language as Colonel
Roosevelt used in Missouri recent
ly, accompanies the editorial. The
editorial is based on this exclama-
tybn of Colonel Roosevelt, called
forth by seeing a Taft banner at
Joplin, Mo-:
"Any man who supports the re-
ceiver Of stolen goods, stands on a
level with the receiver OF the stolen
goods. He Is n dishonest man and
is unfit to associate with honest
men,"
Commenting on this the Wash
ington Star says:
"If Alexander Berkman or EN-
ma Goldman or William d. Hay
wood or any other of the radicals,
Mo are occasionally in evidence In
this country as opponents OF ex-
IRENE policies OF radicalism and
antf-government, were to utter
some of the things Theodore Roose-
Welt emits from time to time upon
the stump, they would be denounc-
ed Immediately by the country and
their punishment demanded. But,
because the man who is now foul
ing the air with his epithets and
fiinging accusations OF dishonesty
broadcast in the course of his cam
naign 70 ra Third Presidential term.
Il Roosevelt, and not Berkman or
Goldman or Haywood, he remains
Immune from the condemnation
that his utterances demand. II Is a
remarkable illustration of the fact
that some people rise above law
and descend below the plane OF de-
cency with the tolerance and at
times even with the approval OF a
part of the people.
ITO call the President OF the
United States receiver OF stolen
goods is to accuse him of crime. 1t
Is remarkable and distressing
ect that no one has yet taken oc-
casion to rebuke this defamer OF
the highest Office when he has thus
flung his accusations and slurs
against its occupant. To listen to
him in silence and without rejoin-
der, is in itself an offense against
decency. Never before has a can
didate for the Presidency descend
ed to so low a plane as that now oc-
cupied by the man who stands self
convicted of violated pledges and
is rushed on by personal ambi-
ton that overreaches all principles
of honesty and all the traditions OF
American manhood"

A LEGAL EXECUTION IN UTAH

Bingham, Utah, Sept. 26.-"Off
with the blindfold! want to see
the fash OF the powder. Now let
'em peg away" said Harry Thorne,
81 years old, OF Baltimore, Md, to-
day. A second later he was shot
to death, at the State prison, for
the murder OF George Fassell, in
grocery store hold-up, March "a,
1910.
In accordance with the law OF
Utah, any man convicted OF murder
and sentenced to death is allowed
to choose between hanging and
shooting. II the prisoner selects
the latter, as did Thorne. six exc
cutioners are chosen. but bullet
placed only in one gun. In the 9TH
er weapons are placed blank cart
ridges.
None OF the executioners knows
which gun is loaded, and therefore
none knows who killed the prisoner.
At 6:34 o'clock this morning
Thorne was led to a chair in the
prison yard and the implements OF
execution were arranged SO there
could be no mistake.
AS he sat down, a target was
pinned over his heart by physi-
clan. The riAemen were behind a
board wall, less than five PAGES
away.
At a signal from the Sheriff the
guns were discharged and the one
bullet pierced Thorne's heart.
The convict was not bound to his
chair, and when the guns were
pointed toward him. he laughted
and called. BE sure to shoot
straight. boys!"
Then the shots rang out. Thorne
rose. his entire body Quivering, and
then sank back into. the chair dead.

Thorne and Riley were convicted
twice OF the murder of Fassell.
They entered the store to rob him.
Thorne covered Fassell with re-
volver. while Riley ransacked the
place. Fassell became weary of
holding UP his hands and begged
permission to lower them. Thorne
swore and reiterated his demand
that the hands be kept high above
the victims, head.
Exhausted, the grocer's arms de-
scepded gradually and Thorra shot
him. Thorne afterward said the
g. ooting was unintentional: that II
was due to a nervous twitch of his
finger.
He and Riley were caught in q

the murder. sitting on their bed.

"DRYsg WIN OUT IN
MUHLENBERG COUNTY

Greenville. KY, Sept. 2S.-In
the local option election held in
Muhlenberg county here to-day the
drys won an overwhelming victory.
The total vote cast was 1885, of
which the drys cast 3,0l1 and the
vets only S24, giving the drys a
majority of 2,1S7. The five pre-
cincts in Greenville gave dry ma
jority of 635 while the four pre-
cincts comprising Central City gave
dry majority of 1877, every pre-
cinct in the county going dry. The
vote cast was considerably larger
than was expected and is about
two-thirds of, the entire vote of the
county. The day was ideal. which
in some measure accounts for the
heavy vote. but the sentiment of
the county has long been known to
be dry.
The vote to-day eliminated the
saloon from Central City, the only
wet spot on the Illinois Central
railroad from Louisville to Padu-
cab. Every church bell in Green
vile and the court house bell rang
for ten minutes tonight when the
result was known, as an apprecia-
ton OF the fine vote. The dry
forces are elated over the result.
The election was quiet and orderly
No disturbance OF any kind was re-
ported.

Deed OF Gift For
International Polo
Cup Nolu Drawn Up

The details of a deed of gift for the
international polo cup have been
made public. The document was
framed at the suggestion of August
belmont after consultation with the
Eurlingham club.
The original cup, won by Sir John
Watson's team at Newport in 1876,
was bought Ly subscription among
followers of the game and presented
to the Westchester Polo club, to be
perpetual international challenge
trophy. The cup stayed in the posses
sion of the Nottingham club until
1909, when Harry Payne Whitney,
Meadow Brook club team brought it
back to this country. Special rules
and conditions had to be framed when
ever there has been challenge for
the cup since 1876.
Following Mr.. Belmont's sugges-
tiCns, the Westchester Polo club has
normally handed over the cup to the
Polo association, to be held in trust.
Under the deed of gift. as accepted by
the polo organizations of America and
England, challenge for the cup must
be made by Jan. of the year in
which the competition is to be held.
The match, the best of three games
must be played between June and
July 8, or as soon after as the wealth
er permits. Also the cup may be play
ed for only once in each year.
