STRAUS ACCEPTS NOMINATION
Former Cabinet Member Says He Tried to Head Off Stampede
 But Is Out to Win.

Syracuse, N. Y., Sept 9.-"The nom- ination came to me as a great sur prise" said Oscar S. Straus, discuss. ing his candidacy for Governor of New York state on the Progressive ticket, after he had been nominated by a stampede started by "Suspender Jack" McGee. Straus was acting as chairman at the time.
 II did everything I could to prevent my nomination" said the former Roosevelt cabinet member, but it seemed that l was destined to lead the cause. It is the cause in which l am interested rather than the office, and l shall do everything in my pow. CT to win, in order that I may carry out the great principles which this new movement represents"
 Comptroller William A. Prendergast of New York and State Chairman Will liam A. Hotchkiss, the two former candidates for the gubernatorial nom- ination, both offered their enthusiastic support to Straus.

TROOP AT MEXICAN LINE.
ORDER IS READY FOR TWO NEW
 REGIMENTS.
Movement in Response to Call for Border Achievements, Awaits
 Taft's o. K.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The War De- partment is preparing to dispatch two more regiments of cavalry to the Mex ican border. Gen. Wood, chief of stan. asked President Taft for his approval of the order. The troopers wih be taken from Fort Riley, Kan, and D. A. Russell, Wyo., one regiment from each post.
 Reports to the War Department in- cluded urgent requests for reinforce. ments for the present border patrol The War Department is considering a suggestion from military command CTS along the border that the United States secure permission from the Mexican government for American troops to pursue into Mexican terri tory bands of rebel raiders who op- crate on this side of the line
 This step was taken during the h. dian troubles in Arizona and New Mexico in the seventies and eighties.
 While the Mexican government al ready has begun negotiation through it's embassy for permission to send it's troops through Texas and Arizona to the State of Sonora, such a request may not be pressed because of heavy reservation. Word was received at the embassy that sufficient troops were at Nogales and Cannanea to pro- tect American life and property.

ISTATE FAIR POULTRY EXHIBIT THE
 FIRST OF THE BIC SHOW" SEASON
Date Brings It Well Past the Fair Exhibit Stage and Will Bring Together the Greatest < Number of Real Show Birds Ever Seen in
 the State.

The Arkansas State Fair will be the first real big fall poultry show of the 1912 season held in the South, or in the country, for that matter. The date, November II to 16, in- elusive, brings it past the usual date for the State and district fair poul- try shows, and makes the real open CT for the real poultry show sea- son. of 1912, which does not begin until the hot weather is we'll past and the birds are in prime condition for the show room.
 Poultry fanciers, the country over will have nursed their show pets through the moulting season by that date, and they will be resplendent in their new plumage for the winter season.
 Arkansas people, as we'll as visit DTS at that time, will have an op- portunity to see a poultry show in which the birds will be exhibited at their best.
 The annual premium list, which has just been issued and is now be- ing mailed out, shows the greatest aggregation of premium awards ever attempted at a State fair. There Is a total of 11S breeds of poultry and pet stock named for competition, with first and second cash premiums for all, pen prizes for all poultry and sweepstakes in all the popular breeds - the cash premiums for which aggregate more than S2,000. The added premiums, the more ad- ivantageous date of the show and the expectation of large exhibit caused Secretary George R. Bedding this year to name two judges for the show ring. These judges, c. A. Emry of Carthage, Mo, and H. B. Savage of Belton, Tex, are two of the best known poultry experts in the South west especially fitted to judge Southern show.
 The exhibit will be in charge of Geo. A. Ashley, of Sulphur Rock, Ark. who performed the same office so satisfactorily to all last year.
 List of Premiums Offered.
 The premium list contains indi- vidual, pen and sweepstakes prizes in the following classes of poultry and pet stock:

 Prominent breeders and fanciers are finding the Arkansas State Fair the first real big hard competition" of the early show season. and they indicate desire to exhibit their birds, have them judged by the ex- pert judges and see just what they have for competition in the big east ern and northern shows of the win ter
 The 1912 permium list gives all desired information as to the classes, conditions and premiums, and every poultry man in the South and the North should ask for one, which will be mailed free on request.
 American poultry show rules will govern the exhibit, which makes ev- cry big exhibitor familiar with the rules and regulations, which he has already shown to.
 The poulry exhibition hall at the fair grounds is the most commo- dious, airy and well ightoa in all the South. At least five thousand show birds can well be handled and arrangements can be made to in- crease this number if necessary.

DEATH IN BLACK BOTTLE
WEST HAMMOND KEEPER CALLED
 CONTENTS GOOD DOPE"
Girl Who Was With Railway Man Before He Died, Held in
 $15,ooo Bail.

Chicago. Sept. 9.-Details of the inner workings of the alleged vice ring at West Hammond, which is be- lieved to have claimed John Mess maker, railroad engineer, as one of several victims, who are said to have been slain by poison, were revealed before Judge John E. Owens in the county court when Mrs. Ethel Parker, known as Frankie Ford" took the stand and for the first time in court told her story of Messmaker's death. While she was on the stand a dozen Deputy United States Marshals, act ing on information furnished by Miss Virginia Brooks. raided a number of resorts in West Hammond in search for vialators of the white slave law. Six women were arrested and search is being made for two men for whom warrants have been issued.
 Thinks Drink Killed Him.
 Mrs Parker told of the black bot tie which she said Henry Foss, keeper of resort, always had back of the bar and declared that in her opinion drink was given to Messmaker out of this decanter the morning of the day he died
 She declared that on one occasion Foss said he would fix" Messmaker if he did not keep away The woman hinted that perhaps jealousy might have had something to do with Mess makers death.
 Among other things Mrs. Parker testified that she overheard a con- versation between Dr. Andrew Hoff- man, the physician who was sum- moned to attend Messmaker shortly before the latter died and Foss.
 "A bottle, known as the dope bot tle,' was always kept behind Foss' bar" she testified. "Once l overheard a conversation between the doctor and Foss about the bottle. I heard Foss say to Dr. Hoffman: That's pret- ty good dope, doctor. Mix me up an other bottle of it. /"
 The woman admitted that she was the companion of Messmaker on the night before he died.
 "One of the drinks taken by Mess maker in Foss' place gagged him." she testified, and l smelled it. It smelled more like gasoline than whisky don't know who served that drink It was served through a hole in the door"
 Woman Reformer Testifies.
 Miss Virginia Brooks took the wit ness stand and related the circum- stances leading up to the death of Messmaker asserting that Mrs. Par. ker had been in the victims com pany for many hours prior to his death. The testimony was heard by the court that he might decide wheth CT the woman should be released on bond or held without bail Miss Brooks, who is the complainant in the warrant charging the woman with the murder, was examined at length by the court.
 At the conclusion of the proceed ings the bonds of Mrs. Parker were | fixed at s15,000 and further hearing of testimony was continued until Sep tember 13.
