Uncle Will Likely Duck

So John Bull is going to try to hale Uncle Sam be-
fore The Hague tribunal for that Panama matter.
Well we guess not We suspect that Uncle will take
to the underbrush, ignore the summons
after the fashion set by good Deacon Rockefeller
1t is true that President Taft has borne down
heavily the beauty and blessedness of arbitration
but it is also true that in the treaty of 1908 Uncle
agreed to refer all his differences with John to The
Hague court provided that they did not ''affeet the
vital interests the independence the honor of the
two countries" and this provso surely let's Uncle
out.
Three cheers for independence and honor but the
proposition involved in this matter is simply that
business is business, and the whole world would
laugh should Great Britain maintain that such
proposition is not vital

Newspapers.

SAN JOSE. Costa Rica. March THE
American Secretary of State, Philander
c. Knox, had quite as cordial a reception
here as at Colon and Panama. His Pan
anna speech. which was published here,
created an excellent impression, and the

torials are couched in friendly language.
Slight Earth Shocks.
Two slight earth shocks occurred dur
ing the night, but they did no damage,

LOVE. ROMANCE ENDED
BY DEATH OF ROBBER
One Of Bank Looting Gang
Shot Carried Picture Of
Girl and Wedding Ring.

MONTREAL, Canada, March 2-The
killing today by vigilence committee
Of bank robber. who was shot to
death during the pursuit of gang
which tried to loot branch of the
Royal Bank of Montreal West, .ended a
romance. which apparently was to have
eliminated Tuesday. In the clothes of
the dead bandit were found the pic
ture of a girl. pasted in the back of
pocket mirror and a new wedding
ring, engraved with the words: VIII
to Kittie. March s. 1912"
The ring with it's engraving and a
tattoo mark on the chest of the man,
bearing the words I'm memory of
mother and father" are the only clues
by which the police hope to establish
the identity OF the robber In their
opinion the party of safe blowers came
from the United States.
Four Of Gang Escape.
Four members of the gang escaped
after a running fight with the vigil
ance committee. which attacked the
robbers before they could obtain any
booty. The fugitfves were supplied with
snow shoes, which enabled them to
outrun their pursuers. The leader of
the vigilantes brought down one of the
men in a pistol duel.
The wedding ring found in the mans
clothes, the police say, undoubtedly was
intended for the girl whose picture he
carried.
The expenses for the marriage set for
Tuesday, they believe. were to have
been paid with the money the robbers
hoped to get. 80

the cut above the left eye were alto
gether superficial and could not have
caused Mr. Swift's death.

the presence of q bruise and a cut on
his face were repeated. until 1t was de-
cided to have a post-mOrtem examination

FROM HIS YOUNG W|FE|
Jury Decides She Was Too
Friendly With Actor Forde
at Seaside Cottage.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March "A jury in the
supreme court today decided that Allen
Lawrence Story is entitled to q decree
Of absolute divorce from Helen Hilton
Story. his twenty-year-old wife.
The "other man. in the case was Stan
ley III. Forde, comic opera singer. The
jury, which was asked to answer four
questions regarding the alleged miscon-
duct of Mrs. Story and Forde at various
times and places, found that they were
too friendly at a cottage at Navesink
Beach. N. j., last summer.
Mrs. Story, who was married when
sixteen years old, is the granddaughter
of Judge Henry Hilton. He left her an
estate, from which she receives an in
come of about 500 month. She will be
given entire charge of this estate in Sep
tember. when she becomes of age. When
the verdict was reported today Mrs
Story was not in the courtroom. She had
been in court earlier in the day. wearing
a black satin, tailormade suit, tipped with
black velvet turban and brown furs.
Throughout the trial she has been seat
ed across a table from the young hus-
band with whom she says she vowed t6
months after their marriage, five years
ago. She shed no tears during the trial
and gave no indication that the testimony
had touched her deeply.
Husbands Mother in Court.
Mrs. William Cummings story, mother
Of Allen Story. was again in court to-
day, seated near her son. Since her
sons separation from his wife his
mother has been his counselor. 1t was
to her home that he took his three
year-old daughter. Ruth King Story,
when he went to the Navesink Beach
cottage. in which Stanley II. Forde, the
actor, and Mrs. Story had lived for
three months, with one or two maids,
and kidnapped" the baby.
In summing the case. Edmund L.
Mooney, counsel for Mr.. Story. made
much of the fact that although the
mother OF Ruth had declared her mother
love led her to stay in this cottage to
give the benefit of the sea air to her
child. yet before she made any legal
efforts to recover the baby. after the
kidnapping" she went to Reno to get

Answering the claims of Mrs Story
that her husband had brought his divorce

emphasis. of the "brave and manly part
that Mr.. Forde had played in the drama

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. March Col.
Roosevelt characterized as too ridiculous
for his consideration today several at
tacks affecting his candidacy which
newspapers published. He refused to be
put on the defensive, and referring to
the Taft campaign managers, said:
Il suppose they will have a new lie
every day of the campaign
The colonel indicated that if he at
tempted to deny all of the stories which
appear attacking him he would find his
time pretty we'll taken up.
In regard to a dispatch that he had
given assurance to Secretary of the
Navy Meyer and Secretary of War
Stimson. when they visited him recent
ly. that he would not be a candidate
against President Taft. the colonel
broke his rule and made fiat denial
"They could not have said that he
declared with emphasis.
He explained that when Mr.. Stimson
and Mr.. Meyer called they had been
made thoroughly conversant with his
position. and that he had told them of
a letter he had written to Frank Mum
sey in which he had said that he was
w
do nothing to tie his hands. The
colonel seemed thoroughly aroused by
the report and had not been quieted
when a report was shown him saying
that he had delayed the prosecution of
the harvester trust.
''That Is Today's Lie" He Says.
That is too preposterous for me to
listen to-" he exclaimed. THAT is today's
lie.. 1t will be forgotten by Tuesday, and
then they will probably have another"
This report also said that progressive
republicans in North Dakota We're turn
ing to La Toilette, and We're demanding
that George W. Perkins, one of the di-
rectors Of the harvester trust, and Medfll
Mccormick, be dropped from the list Of
.oosevelt boomers. The colonel did not
seem to be i'll the least worried about
ne situation in North Dakota, expressing
ataence that he would get the dele
tas as anticipated.
The colonefs whole attitude today made
it more evident that he is thoroughly sat
isfied with the position taken by his cam
paign manager, Senator Dixon, in his
opening statement, and that he believes
his fight should be aggressive. In return
he expects the Taft managers to attack
him, but hopes to keep them ON the de-
fensive Tne-coloners only visitor today
was exSHepfesentative Landis Of Indiana,
who called to talk over the situation in
ports.
In the morning the colonel went for

spirits. He said he expected a number
