SECRETARY FISHER TRIES
TO GET AWAY FOR HAWAII

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20. -
Secretary Fisher has been trying to
get off to Hawaii for some time to in
vestigate the fight over the governor
ship of that territory. Gov. Frear's
term expired year ago, and the fight
for and against his denomination has
been going on ever since. His friends
and enemies have both been active.
The president has held off from ac-
ton until he could get clear knowl-
edge of the facts from first-hand
sources. He asked Secretary Fisher
to investigate the whole situation per-
sOnally.
Mr. Fisher made a reservation to
sail on the boat leaving San Francisco
August 10, but has come to the con-
clusion that he will not be able to get
away from here at that time owing to
the presence of Congress, and has
made another reservation for August
%. The secretary feels that he ought
to stay In Washington while congress
is here. He hopes, though, that Con-
gress will adjourn in time to permit
him to go to Hawaii on the 23rd. -

TAFTS NOMINATION AT:CHICAGO NOT STOLEN;
FIGURES OF CONVENTION BATTLE GIVE LIE To It
ports were thus made"
Argued Fifteen DAYS.

|
In concluding. the majority OF, the
credentials committee, defending its
decisions, said:
AS to the merits of these contested
cases upon which the committee pass
ed. it should be remembeped that the
national committee sat for fifteen
days hearing evidence and argument
upon them. Out of a total member
ship of fifty-three. only thirteen mem
bers OF that committee objected to the
findings and decisions, and they only
with regard to a part of the cases, the
action of the committee having been
unanimous with regard to a majority
of them. The convention declined, by
a substantial majority. to reverse the
action of the national committee, and
it referred the contested cases to the
committee on credentials. When our
committee met, rules were adopted by
unanimous vote No one desiring to
make complaint as to the seating OF
any delegate was prevented from pre-
senting his case. The committee even
considered cases which had been de-
cided by a unanimous vote of the ma
tional committee, notably the Indiana
case.
The committee on credentials OF
the Republican national convention
consists of fifty-three members. The
committee in every case sustained the
decision of the national committee,
and in no case by majorities of less
than two-thirds. This statement Of
facts, Endorsed by forty members OF
the committee, who listened patiently
through all day and all night sessions
to evidence and argument in order to
be able to Judge cases intelligently
and pass upon them honestly, should
be sufficient answer to the reckless,
unwarranted and untruthful assertions
contained in the statement signed by
eleven members of the committee, two
of whom did not attend sessions of the
committee, did not hear any Of the
evidence presented, and nearly all OF
whom indicated their bias by voting in
every case for the delegates known
to be favorable to Mr.. Roosevelt, in
Guiding numerous cases in which the
action of the national committee had
been unanimous for the Taft dele
gates"
As appendices the statement car
ried the majority and minority reports
of the credentials committee on each
of the contests.

Soon afterwards, village gossip
has it, Barnes began taking no
tice of the young Mrs. Judd.
Stronger and stronger grew
the stories about the alleged in
fatuation of the wealthy distiller
for the beautiful wife of his poor
er neighbor.
when Jesse Barnes first be-
gan paying attention to Mrs,
Judd" a Double Springs woman
explained, I'VE all thought it was
innocent enough. But it wasn't
long before they got too intimate.
Everybody seemed to know it.
''Mrs. Barnes never let on as
how she knew what was going
on. But 1 low as how she knew.
She died, some folks say, of a
broken heart"
The present Mrs. Barnes was
Mrs, Myrtle Brashear, born at
NewtonviIle, Ind, IS years ago.
They have one little daughter,
Jessie, two years old. Barnes had
by his first wife, six children, all
living.
The village folk say that after
Barnes second marriage, the
bride began getting letters telling
her of the alleged intimacy be-
tween her husband and Mrs.
Judd.
Strange as it may seem, Mrs.
Judd joined the letter writing bri-
gade. Some think she did it to
drive the wife out. Others believe

mon talk recently that after the
second wedding Mrs. Judd went
to Nashville often to meet
Barnes.
On May 80 Mrs. Barnes got
this note from Mrs. Judd: "Bet-
ter go down to Nashville tomor-
row."
Next morning she didn't go,
but from her window saw the
other woman going by on the
train.
That afternoon Mrs. Barnes
waited at the Buffalo Valley de-
pot for the Tennessee Central
train. When it came she walked
through the cars to the rear plat
form. There stood Mrs. Judd.
Not a word was spoken; not a cry
was heard. Five shots rang out,
and Ave bullets entered Mrs.
Judd's breast; two pierced her
heart.
Mrs. Barnes was a crack re-
volver and rifle shot. Her hus-
band told me that she could hit
dollar nine times out of ten at Is
yards with revolver.
At her home, Mrs. Barnes met
her weeping step-children, who
had heard of the shooting.
Don't cry" she said. "All our
trouble is ended now. Your dead
mother is avenged, and my bur-
den is gone" Then she gathered
them in her arms and awaited the
coming of the father.
