tee of Michigan, was caller at ma
tional democratic headquarters today
in company with A. B. Garfield of
Claire, Mich, secretary of the com
mittee.
| Michigan will be found IN the Will
son column when the votes are count
ed in November" said Mr.. Shields.
For the first time in years the demo-
cratic party has a full national state
and local ticket in the field in every
county in the state. There are some
counties In Michigan in which until
this year there have not been enough
democrats to form a fair-sized county
committee. But this year things are
changing. and the change is not due
to the work Of the state central com
mittee alone, but in a response to local
sentiment.
Michigan is peculiarly divided both
geographically and in the public opn-
ion. The farm lands of the lower
peninsula and the southern half of
the upper peninsula are the best in
the world and our farmers are the
most progressive and prosperous in
the world. They have been for the |
most part devoted to the republican
party in years gone by, but. you know,
Michigan is close up to Canada and
the reciprocity policy of the Taft ad-
was condition and not
a theory to them
In the upper peninsula the chief
industry is mining and the citizens of |,
that region have been hopelessly cor
During the past year
or two there has been a remarkable
change in public opinion and | a.n
sure that the large Taft majority of
1908 will be very hopelessly split this
rear.
THE democratic party stands in a
Inc position in this fight. We are /,
lnited while our opponents are di-
'ided. We are gaining from both of ,
he republican factions and losing to
either. We have but to hold the vote /
f 1908 and 1910 to win By a hand /,
ONE plurality. We have ample evil
ence to prove to anyone's satisfac /,
ion that so far from losing any of
UT 1910 strength, we have actuallyl :
aimed thousands of votes" l.

White, who was delegate to the lii
nois state bull moose congressional
convention in his district, walked into
the democratic Headquarters in the
Karpen building this morning and an.
nounced his Reputation of the third.
term candidate and declared his in
tention to support Governor Wilson.
When Roosevelt was named by the
third-term party Mr. White, who had
helped to bring about his nomination,
was enthusiastic in his behalf, but re-
cent events have cooled his ardor and
in fact led him to support Governor
Wilson
The disclosure of the fact that STAN
dard Oil contributed to Roosevelt 5
campaign fund, the support of Roose-
welt by Perkins and the steel trust
and harvester trust interests as well
as other developments of the cam
paign have caused Mr.. White to aban-
don his support of Roosevelt. Mr..
White emphasized his change of heart
by informing Representative A. S.
Burleson in charge of the speakers
bureau that he was willing to devote
his time to the campaign to the ex-
tent of making speeches wherever the
might desire to send him.
Mr. White was formerly from Iowa
and has indicated a preference to be
sent to that state for speaking pur-
poses.

AVARICE TALE FROM PARIS
Woman, Rather Than Pay Sisters
Funeral Bill, Watches Body
Seven Weeks.

Paris,-A queer story of an old
woman's aVarice comes from Laval,
near Rennes. In the Rue Basse des
Bouchers resided two sisters. Glenn
entine and Fanny Manguy aged sew
enty-two and seventy-four years. The
old women held aloft from their neigh
bors. They rarely left their rooms
and their only visitor was nun.
The sister had not been seen for
seven weeks. The neighbors became
anxious and wondered what had &C.
Cured. The police were Informed.
The other morning policeman was
annoyed by a disagreeable @odor. He
assembled the stairs and knocked at
the door of the sisters room. The door
was not opened, but an angry voice
within bade him go about his business,
The policeman procured a ladder,
and affected an entrance into the
rooms by opening a window. A ter
rible spectacle met his view. On a
mattress lay ape Of the sisters. She
was i'll. Asked There her sister was
she replied tina lNlAe was lying dead
at the foot of the bed The eldest sis
ter had, in fact, been dead, for seven
weeks, and the other had remained by
the body, which was now in state
of putrefac ion.
When asked why she had not mott
fed of her sisters death, she declared
that she could not pay for the funeral
expenses. On the room being searched
$500 in bank notes and gold was
found. The old woman preferred to
remain by the body rather than pay
for the burial. The sister was re-
moved to a hospital, and the dead
body was taken to the morgue.

to the Russian statesmen the immense
disadvantage and danger of their en-
pire not controlling the outlets from
the Black sea. Now, of course, the
Dardanelles are once more open, but

the continuance of the Italo-Turkish
war is not free from danger.
Italy cannot think of an advance in
Tripoli until the autumn, and may not
be able to do so even then. Nor can
Italy withdraw with honor. There is
an impasse which European diplomacy
will have to remove. But no states
man has yet found a way, and all that

Capture Giant Sea-Cow

great SEQ monsters frequently weigh
ing as much as $500 pounds each. One
Of them when harpooned has been
known to drag 20 boats, hitched tan
dem, each carrying two men.
Such an experience came two or
three years ago at Arkansas Pass to a
party of fishermen, among whom were
John w. Robbis, then state treasurer;
w. G. Sterrett, present state game,
fish and oyster commissioner, and J.
w. Maxwell of Austin, a noted big
game hunter and fisherman. They
were fishing just off the little town of
Tarpon when sea devil of extraordi-
nary size came to the surface near
one of the boats. A boatman sank a
harpoon deep into its body. the har-
pooh being secured to the boat by a
line. The sea devil made off at light
ming speed. AS the boat to which it
was attached passed the boats each
threw line, and 20 other boats, carry
ing 40 men, were toy'ed by the giant
animal. They had stuck to it for six
hours, when it headed out toward the
ocean. Then the men raised the sig,
nal of distress and hfe-saving crew
on Harbor island rowed out and shot
the monster.

Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds

KILLS SNAKE IN PULPIT
"Tenderfoot" Pastor Shows Nerve
While Preaching at
Greeley, Colo.

Greeley, Colo.-Rev. John Bentley,
an invalid "tenderfoot," graduate of an
eastern theological college, may have
congregation any time his health
permits him to preach here because Of
his nerve. Addressing handful of
people in the little adobe schoolhouse,
ten miles from here, he paused sud
denly at sight of a rattlesnake that
had joined his congregation and
nestled at his feet. He stopped quick
ly, grabbed the reptile back of the
neck, carried it out of the schoolhouse
and stamped it to death. Returning, he
dropped the subject of his sermon
and, symbolizing the snake as sin,
held his congregation for an hour. The
next night the congregation was too
large for the schoolhouse.

Correspondent Says End of Trou-
bic in Europe Is Far Away.
Declares It Is impossible for Anyone
to Predict That 1912 Will End In
Peace-Russia Attempted to
End Present Conflict.

Berlin, Germany.-That Europe has
passed through the two first months
of spring without catastrophe of any
kind in the diplomatic fold must not
be taken to mean that the sky is now
cloudless and the horizon clear. On
the contrary, ominous rumblings are
heard everywhere, and no one dares
prophesy that 1912 will end in peace.
During the last two weeks a CORE
spondent of a Washington paper
writes, events have happened which
have puzzled the diplomats of all the
great countries-events which seem
to predict the imminency Of material
changes in the delicate balance of old
Europe. Our poor old world, in spite
of all its enlightenment, still possesses
its political sphinx, situated within the
confines of Russia,
What Russia's plans really are no
one ever knows, least of all, probably,
the gentle and peace-loving car him
self. Russia gave the first impulse to
the new grouping of the powers when,
under Alexander Ill.,, a strong and
Virile ruler of extraordinary gifts as
statesman, she concluded the alli-
ance with France, which became the
mistaken corner stone of the Euro
pean position. Now, at least, 1t seems
as If this corner stone Is less firm than
before. France and Russia are no
longer in perfect harmony, and Russia
blamed the French ambassador to St.
Petersburg for the Earring note of the
| discord which was dimly heard by
those whose ears are always pressed
against the ground.
Russia wanted to put an end to the
war between Italy and Turkey, but she
wanted something herself from the
government In Constantinople in ex-
change for her friendly services, and
she hoped, naturally, to be backed up
by France. In this hope she was dis
appointed, and the closing of the Oar
danelles, which followed, caused the
greatest irritation in st. Petersburg,
because it brought home very forcibly
