BARROW TO TESTIFY
DENYING BRIDE STORY
viii Co on Witness Stand TO Contra
dict Damaging Statement of De-
tective discriminating Him.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 13.-There
is but little doubt that Clarence s. Oar
row viii 90 upon the witness stand
and seek to refute the testimony given
agains him in his trial here on the
charge Of bribing Mcnamara jurors.
a statement made by Earl Rogers,
Darrow's chief counsel, in argument
on Wednesday bears out this predic-
ton. Rogers declared that If neces-
sary he would put Mr. Darrow On the
stand to testify that he knew Sam
uel l. Browne, chief detective for the
district attorney, had gathered evil
dence against the McNamaras which
he regarded as insurmountable and
that in consequence, it was absurd
to suppose that Darrow would ap-
Proach Browne in the manner to
which Browne had Just testified.
This bit of testimony by Captain
Frederick's chief detective was the
sensation of the proceedings. Browne
related that after the arrest of
Franklin. barrow came to him near
the scene of the arrest and said:
My God, Browne. what is all this?"
Bribery" answered Browne.
Isn't there anything that can be
done?" DaErow asked, according to
Browne, and added: This is terri,
BILE
q don't know of anything that can
be done; you will have to see Captain
Fredericks," Browne testified he re
Piled
IF I had known this was going to
happen never would have allowed it
to have been done" Darrow said.
This is terrible; you do the best
you can for US. and I will take care
of you"
The prosecution attaches weight to
the conversation as indicating Oar
rows knowledge of the whole affair
in spite of his declaration, and the
further fact that he limited at pay
ment to Browne if the matter coul6
be squared in some way.

Life and Dickens.

Some one has said Of Charles Dick
ems that he was not afraid of being
melodramatic. 1t not one fault of our
more modern literature that it is too
faultless2 There is a certain snobbish
tyranny of taste which pals. Wood
row Wilson has said that taste is IN
democratic The culture which cannot
bear contact with coarseness is much
10 blame for our social maIadfust-
ments, he said. So the literary taste
which sympathizes not with RabeI-
aislan humor and disdains redundant
emotion, is at odds with life
People live not by repression. AS
'ceticism forms hut a very small part
Of life. And it is asceticism to cut out
emotion, even excess emotion. with its
boisterOus laughter and too easy tears.
Heaven forbid that from the one ex-
IRENE of chastened, white corpuscIed
style" the other extreme of affected
forcetuluess of SLANG and unreal real
ism should be reached. There is too
much Of that now. 1t viii never salts
fy. It will not set a true standard or
mark a literary epoch. But may we
have more of the big artist work which
is not agraid to be as untrammeled
and as filed with caricature as life
itself ist-Ransas City Star.

HILL LEADS PROHIBlTlONsTS
Selected to Run for Governor Next
Fall-EntireIY New Liquor
Traffic Plank Adopted.

Madison.-CharIes L. Hill of
Rosendale was unanimously selected
as the Prohibition candidate for gov
ernor at the state convention. The
platform adopted declares in favor
of woman's suffrage, parcels post, a
government control of telegraph
companies and has a strong trust
plank
The plank on the liquor traffic is
different from any previously adopt
ed. 1t reads as follows:
THE beverage liquor traffic is the
greatest moral, social and political
evil and its destruction is the great
est reform ever attempted in the
world. This traffic is a crime and not
a business and is illegal at common
law. All laws for it's taxation, Ii
censing or sanction, are unconstitu-
tional and must be held null and
void or repealed.
ITO destroy it, a political party
must be elected to power that will
interpret laws and constitution in ac-
cordance with the above PROPOSE
ton"

BROKERS STIRRED BY STORY
Ex-Secretary Of Treasury's Memory
Proves Faulty-CouId Not Recall
Just What Institutions Re-
ceiVed the Money.

New York, June 15,-EVidences to
show that the $25, 100000, which J. P.
Morgan has been credited generally
with placing upon the New York stock
exchange during the panic Of 1907,
was really supplied by the treasury Of
the United States, was introduced on
Thursday at the hearing Of the Pujo
committee OF the house Of represen-
tatiyes that is investigating the SO
called money trust.
George B. CorteIyou, secretary of
the treasury under the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, on the witness stand
made the assertion that he under
stood" that the money loaned by the
government to the banks at that time
was to be used on the stock exchange.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, attempted to learn the
names of the banks in which the
money was deposited, but Mr.. Cor
telyou said his memory on this sub
ject was poor
The witness said he came here on
the night of October %, 1907, and had
a conference with J. P. Morgan, James
Stillman, A. Barton Hepburn, George
F. Baker, George W. Perkins, Frank
A Vanderlip and other fnanciers
After inquiring into the general stu
alton, he promised that the govern
ment would aid "in a general way"
The next evening, he said, another
conference was held. He was not sure
that Mr.. Morgan was present then.
At this conference, the witness said,
he promised $25,OOO,OOO for distrtbu-
ton among the banks.
''At the first conference" he ex-
planned, q stated that I would not de-
post dollar except for the relief
of the country generally and the com
mercial community generally"
Cortelyou, on being pressed for a
list of the banks in which the SIS
100000 was deposited, finally referred
Mr.. Untermyer to the records of the
treasury department. Il only remem-
ber," the witness said, that the
money was deposited in national
banks. I could not undertake to say
which ones"

THE INGRATITUDE OF WOMAN.
Paul Begged in Order That His Wife
Might Fast-What He Got
For it.

Federico Paul-which is a cOmpc
site rendering Of his name as reported
in the various New York papers-was
dragged out Of a subway station in
the Bronx by an ironhanded copper
the other day. The copper took poor
PauIs two canes away from him
and prOdding him with one of them,
made him walk briskly to the station
house During the walk the spinal
curvature that had bothered poor Paul
for several years past disappeared
completely and he forgot the cruel
limp. at the station house they peeled
Paul and found him armour plated
with small coins He melted down
something like s18 in jingles. When
he was arraigned in court that night
for begging his wife arose:
He doesn't have to beg, Judge"
said she He has a good business as
"a chiTOpodist uptown He has a nice
little Office Of his own; he employs
several helpers, and we own our own
home. But he insists on making up
in rags and dirt and taking his two
canes and going out at night to beg
i am dying Of shame"
She was well dressed and seemed
thoroughly respectable. She sank back
liz her chair sObbing. Paul looked at
her with an enigmatic smile and kept
his own counsel After he had been
toasted upon the judicial Goals he was
led away to give bail for his good con
duct during the next six months. Later
-bathed shaved, dressed up in well
pressed clothes and wearing polished
tsh0es-PauI gave his own story of
lhis double life
i worked hard" said he, Il made
"a good living and I was happy and
content, until l married. My income
dron my business is sufficient to main
tain US in comfort But my wife
wanted more than that. In despera-
ton one night l made up and went
out to beg. I made so much money
that I begged by preference after
ward. It is an easier way of getting
money than Of working-aDd | made
my wife happy because 1 could give
her the money she wanted. and which
Icould not make by honest work. Now
she objects to my begging. Is it not
somewhat unreasonable? Must / car

provide her with luxuries, when I can
get more money in six hours by sit
ting on a cold stone floor and crying
into my beard?"

ASSESSMENT ROLLS BURNED
Downtown Fire in Milwaukee Causes

ness Firms Lose Heavily.

Milwaukee.-Fire of unknown or
igin, starting in the basement of the
four-story brick building at 172-176
Third street, wiped out six business
concerns, destroyed twenty-five out
Of twenty-seven city assessment rolls,
imperilled the lives of a score of en-
ployes and caused a loss estimated
at between 100000 and S125,O0O.
The tenants of the burned building
were: Lawrence McGreaI, musical
supplies; Grand Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Co., Murphy Clothing Co,
Boehm Bindery, Huxall Billiard Co.,
Wisconsin Talking Machine Co.
Twenty-Five of the twenty-seven
assessment rolls placed by the tax de-
partment in the Boehme bindery
were destroyed. Two OF the volumes
were found in the rear of the build
ing and returned to the tax depart
ment.
The assessment rolls were to have
been placed in the hands of the board
OF review on June "a, and their loss
VIII make it necessary to recompile
them from the assessors field books.
This cannot be done in less than
months time.

Won by Ey
Taft. Roosevelt.

Chicago, June 15.-TheodOre Roose-
welt was awarded four delegates at
large, which includes Gov. Herbert 7.
Hadley, from Missouri, and four dis
trict delegates, all instructed to vote
for the colonel for president, by the
Republican national committee on
Thursday. On the other hand Presi-
dent Taft was given six delegates
from Missouri and IL from MISSISSIPPI
pi, making the score in the contests
up to date: Taft, 159; Roosevelt, 9.
By a compromise agreement the
contests in the five disputed districts
of Missouri were settled without a
hearing. The First and Fifth were
given to Roosevelt and the Third, Sew
enth and Fourteenth to Taft. Gov
ernor Hadley says the matter will be
threshed out further in the convention.
Senator Penrose, member for Penn
syIvania, made the motion which
brought about this result, and it was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
With Governor Hadley as delegate
at large will be Jesse A. Tolerton Of
Jefferson City, Walter S. Dickey of
Kansas City and Hugh McIndoe of
Joplin. The state convention elected
eight, giving each one-half vote. The
national committee, following its Gus
tom, refused to recognize more than
four and the other quartet will take
lie place of the alteTnates.
Racial questions entered largely in
to the Mississippi contests, and the
Second, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh
district contests were punched. The
other contests decided were those on
the Fifth and Eighth districts.
Roll calls were refused and the de-
cisions were made by a viva voce
vote. A chorus of mays" was heard
each time from the Roosevelt side of
the room, but Chairman Rosewater
declared the motions to seat the Taft
delegates carried.
In addition to the settlement of the
Missouri and Mississippi contests, the
committee determined which Of the
contesting Roosevelt delegates should
be permitted to represent the Third
and Ninth districts of North Carolina.
No Taft claimants figured in these
purely local fights, and the results
made no changes in the lineup.
In the midst Of the Mississippi fight,
Just before the Fifth district case was
taken up, the bitter feeling toward
Francis J. Heney of San Francisco
again broke out. Mr. Heney had come
in on the proxy of Thomas Thorson
Of South Dakota, which he had held in
previous sessions of the committee.
Committeeman w. S. Sturgess of
Arizona made a formal motion
that Mr.. Heney's proxy be refused and
Mr.. Heney excluded. He said the rec
ords showed the San Francisco man
had run for prosecuting attorney on a
Democratic ticket in that city.
Il refused to accept the Democratic
nomination" said Mr.. Heney. Il did
run as an independent candidate, and
was defeated by the money of Patrick
Calhoun
The motion to exclude Mr.. Heney
received little support and was tabled.

Department Commander Smith and
other officers We're received, showing
the work accomplished during the

The feature of the encampment
was parade of 1000 veterans and

an entertainment given by the chill

With rising vote and salute, the
following telegram was sent by De
partment Commander Smith to Gen.
Z. S. Bragg at Fond du Lac: The
department Of the Wisconsin Grand
Army of the Republic sends greet
ings and best wishes"
Department Commander Smith in
his address called attention to the
work which is being carried by the
Sons of Veterans. Special mention
was made of the present day method
OF observing Memorial day. The
desecration of Memorial day is a
perennial subject of protest" said
Commander Smith. The interest in
the observance increases each year.
A certain class ignore the sacredness
OF the day. Last Memorial day 49,
600 people gathered at indianapolis
to witness an automobile race. 1t
RI
exercises were of a secondary nature
IN that city. This episode is but an
exaggerated~example of what occurs
throughout the length and breadth

To Protect Against Forest Fires.


Oshkosh.-Although no definite
action was taken, Iumbermen and
timber land owners of Northern Wis
consin, who met here decided to take
steps for the formation of a forest
fire protective association. A com
mittee will be appointed to ascertain
the sentiment among the owners of
private lands and the prospects are
that careful system of fire protec-
ton will be established. 1t was
brought out in the discussions that
the states system of preventing fires
was all right for state land, but it is
unsatisfactory for private land and
it was held that to prevent the fires
was more essential than stopping
them after they were started.
