Washington, April 27.-Tne unusual
spectacle Of president Of the United
States and former president appeal
ing to the voters of state for their
suffrage on the eve of primary elec-
ton will be witnessed in Massachn-
setts. Not satisfied with the result OF
his first speeehmaking tour OF Massa-

the state Monday to speak up to the
very eve Of the election.
The plan of his managers is to have
the president visit the industrial sec.
lions OF Massachusetts and appeal to
the wsgeworkers. The president was
induced to return to Massachusetts by
the representations made to him that
Colonel Roosevelt had carried Illinois
and Pennsylvania by his successful
personal appeals to the wOrkingmen.
Colonel Roosevelt is to speak in Fall

other mill towns. Lawrence is the

with the mill workers. Because of this
fact they will carry President Taft in.
TO the industrial centers in order that
he may make personal appeal to the
workers.
Colonel Roosevelt Is not likely to re-
tire from the state while President
Taft is haranguing the voters. He will
be less inclined to do SO after the per-
sonal attacks that have been made on
him by the president.
President Taft's friends in Washing

pivotal state in this fight If the presi-
dent loses it his friends will be ready
to concede the probability Of Colonel
Roosevelt's nomination.
Asked what he thought of the out

flow meeting. Colonel Roosevelt said
in part:
in this campaign regard the IS
sues at stake as altogether too iInpor-
tant to permit it TO be twisted into
one of personalities between President
Taft and myself. But Mr. Taft's
speeches contained statements that |
must answer. Most of what he said
needs no comment from me.
when, for instance, he said that I
have endeavored to minimize the i'm
pOrtance of my Columbus speech he
says what he must know to be untrue;
he cannot have read my Carnegie hall
speech, my speech before the Massa.

speech at st. Louis, my Philadelphia
and Pittsburg and Louisville speeches,
without knowing that I have elaborat-
ed and emphasized what said at Co.
lumbus.
Again, when Mr.. Taft in any speech
speaks of me directly or Obliquely as a
neurotic, or demagOgue, or in similar
terms, l shall say nothing, except to
point out that If he is obliged to use
such language he had better preserve
his own self-respect by not protesting
that it gives him pain to do so. No
man resorts to epithets like these If it
really gives him pain to use them.
IL have never alluded to him in
terms even remotely resembling these.
Il have never quoted his private let

actions. Even where ! was obliged to
be severe / was always parliamentary

bad recollection of visit to that
institution Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson drove a
company composed of Mr.. and Mrs.

attacked from behind by woman

shouted for help, and two women

fast and they were unable to release
him. A man was rung for and he
finally succeeded in dragging the
woman away. Mr.. Pearson swears
that he will never again visit an

Jack Raymond also had rather
amusing experience although not
with as much physical danger as
that of Mr.. Pearson. While he was

COLONEL CONES BACK
WITH BITTER RETORT

Worcester, Mass, April 27.-Merci-
less denunciation of President Taft
was Colonel Roosevelt's reply to the
presidents attack upon him. Some of
Colonel Roosevelt's assertions were:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country square
deal" but that owing to quality Of
feebleness" he had yielded to the
bosses and the great privileged inter-
ests."
That one part of the presidents
attack upon him was the crookedest
kind of deal" and deliberate mis-.
representation"
That the president has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to our past friendship. but has
been disloyal to every canon of ordi-
nary decency and fair dealing, such as
should obtain even in dealing with a
mans bitterest opponents"
That the presidents statement re-
garding the influence of federal office
holders in the campaign was mot only
an untruth, but an absurd untruth."
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself of
insincerity when he signed the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill
That in speaking of Colonel Roose-
velt's position in regard to the trust
problem President Taft 'is himself
guilty Of crooked deal"
Colonel Roosevelt took up President
Taft's attack on him point by point,
arraigning the president in one sen.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 27.-One hun
dred million wall-eyed pike and four
million brook trout will be distrib.

streams of Minnesota this year to
provide amusement for sportsmen.
The last of the trout are just leaving

is nnequaled. In addition to the

riveS.
When the hot days come, when
the asphalt begins to soften, the
streets to bake and steam in the
wake of the water wagon, and office
men dream of lakes surrounded by
pine trees and spruce and tamarack,
it is expected the rush to the IA
nous fishing haunts of the gopher
state will begin. There are 10000
lakes in Minnesota, in some of which
no white man has ever cast line.
Practically all of them teemed with
bass, pike, crappie, trout and muskal,
lOnge. In the northern part of the
state, especially in districts where no
numbering has been done, are virgin
lakes unequaled in all the world for
game fishing.
Cost of Propagating Fish.
Planting approximately 4O0,0OO,OO
fish fry, propagating them and caring
for big game, has cost Minnesota
$755, 5,232.64 during the past ten years.
Included in this sum, is the cost
of nine tons of beef liver, the din

rate of 200 pounds a week. A min.

Hatching young fish from spawn
and mothering them till they are
large enough to forage for them
selves, is technical work. Trout
spawn are obtained from shallow
waters where the mother trout has

gravel and deposited her eggs. The
hole is carefully covered and the
spawn left to be Matched by tepid
waters and warmth from the earth.
The female trout will deposit from
1000 to 1,500 eggs or spawn in a
season. Gathered and taken to the
hatchery, they will hatch in sixty
days with water at temperature OF
as degrees. For each degree the
water is cooler, five days more is
needed. Thirty days after they begin

INFANT CYCLONE IN MANKATO

The damage done by the baby
cyclone and high wind yesterday
was more than was at first estimat-
ed. While the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad reported that
the roof of box car had been
torn off while en- route from Wells
to Mankato, the wind here blew
through the rear window of the
Unique theatre and tore the two
rear exit doors from their hinges,
besides destroying the new gold
fibre curtain. An emergency cur
tain was made at the George e.

until another gold fibre curtain can
be secured.
The rear stage will also be taken

Henry Seheffert, Who Shot His
M0ther.in-LaW.
SHOWS SIGNS OF BRAiNST0RM
Charles Cent? Has Consultation Pros.
ecuting Attorney HenzeI, lie
Sueur County.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Henry Scheffert, who shot and
painfully wounded his mother-in
law, Mrs. Charles Cent?, at her
home near lie Sueur Center early
one morning during the first part OF
February, and was captured after an
all-day chase by a sheriff's posse,
will probably be sent to the crimi
nal insane ward of the st. Peter
asylum.
Since his capture Scheffert has
been confined in the county Jail at
lie Sueur Center. He has, so it is
said, exhibited signs of insanity, suf.
fering from brainstorms, as it were,
and there has been more or less
talk of sending him to the asylum
for safe-keeping.
Today Charles Cent?, went to
Montgomery to consult with County
Attorney F. J. Henzel with view
to making arrangements to have
Scheffert tried on a charge of in
sanity. 1t is thought that the coun-
ty attorney will consent to this pro-
gram.
Shot His Mother.in-law.
Scheffert went to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Cent? with the avowed
purpose of shooting his wife, who
was making her home with her
parents. He succeeded in gaining
an entrance to the house, and find
ing the room occupied by his wife
and her mother, he pulled his re-
yolver and commenced shooting.
The bullets did not strike his wife,
but two of them did hit Mrs. Cent?.
The women-one of them with a
baby in her arms-made a sensa-
iional escape from the house by
jumping through a window. Schef-
fert then threatened to shoot Mr..
Cent?, who was descending the
stairway from his room on the Sec
Ond floor. for the purpose of find
ing out what all the trouble was
about.
Posse Pursued Scheffert.
Scheffert made his escape and all
day long posse searched for him.
He was discovered behind hay
stack, several miles from the scene
of the shooting. He saw there was
no hope of escape and shot himself,
the ball taking effect just above the
heart He was conveyed to LIE
Sueur Center and for a number of
days lowered between life and
death. He was indicted by the grand
jury for assault in the first degree.
Mrs. Cent? has recovered from
the wounds inflicted by Scheffert.
Mrs. Scheffert is making her home
in st. Patti where she is employed.
She is constantly in fear that her
husband will in some manner OBJ
tain his freedom and again make
an attack on her life. Scheffert has
twice attempted suicide. At times he
seems rational and talks with his
companions in Jail. At other times
the brainstorms are much in evi.
dence.

CHARTER CASE WAS ARGUEC
Hearing Had Before the State Su-
preme Court Yesterday.


st. Paul Dispatch: Whether the
commission form of government in
incorporated cities in Minnesota is
lawful, under the states constitu.
ton, came up for argument before
the state supreme court this morn
ing. The action comes through a
suit instituted by the attorney gener
ais office, In behalf of certain tax
payers, against the city of Mankato,
Charles T. Taylor, mayor; Ben Bang
erter, Jr., Lawrence Henline, j. d.
Humiston and Robert Lamm, coun-
cilmen.
On the outcome of the case hangs
the fate of the commission plan in
Minnesota. Faribahlt and st. Cloud
have the commission form of gov.
ernment, while steps are under way
for the adoption of similar charters
in ST. Paul and other cities.
A. ]. Edgerton, assistant attorney
general, appeared for the state,
while c. L.. Benedict and Arthur
Schaub represented the defendants.
The district court of Blue Earth
county appointed commission to
frame a charter, under sections 74S.
$50, revised laws of 1905, and supple.
mentary laws. The charter was
adopted at special election April
26, 1910.
The petitioners claim the charter
is in violation of the state constitu
ton, in that the mayor, being chief
executive of the city, is made a
member of the council and permitted
to participate in all powers given to
council. 1t is urged that the
respondents are unlawfully usurping
their officers. The respondents argue
that they are not exercising any
authority not granted by the state
laws.
