st. Peter.-Cleverly eluding a guard
in tie hospital for the criminal
insane, Patrick H. Gibbons, the
st. Paul murderer, escaped from the

one hour, a prompt search resulting
in his capture.
Gibbons was sem to the local in
stitution for committing a double
murder, Staying his wife and a priest,
Father Walsh. At his trial evidence
was introduced to show that he was
insane when the crime was commit
ted, and he was the first man to be
sen to the criminal insane building
under the new law.
During the two years of his confine-
ment Gibbons has been a model pris.
oner. He is employed in the kitchen
and was directed to accompany one
of the guards to the main building.
AS they entered the hospital Gibbons
darted out a side door and ran across
an area completely eluding his pur-
suers. When the guard found that
he was outdistanced he reported the
escape to Superintendent r. M.
Phelps and the latter impressed every
available employee of the institution
to make up a searching party. One
of the men assembled a steep ravine
in the e of the hospital and found
Gibbons had concealed himself in q

~NON-ACQUITTAL T.
Lawyer Gibson Reiterates His Inno-
enc of Clients
Murder.

Goshen, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-Burton w.
Gibson, the New York lawyer, con-
corning whose guilt or innocence of
the charge of numbering his client,
Mrs. Rosa Menschik Szabo, the jury
was unable to find a verdict, appar-
emily was stunned by the disagree
ment of the jury.
He said he had firmly expected an
acquittal. The vote on the final ballot
taken by the jury stood nine for &C.
quittal and three for conviction. The
jury announced it's inability to reach
a decision, and was discharged.
Gibson will remain in Jail for
months, probably, before he is given
a second trial. His lawyers claim to
have an offer by the state to drop the
murder charge if Gibson will plead
to an Indictment charging larceny.
This the state denies.

Minneapolis.-Howard James, who
Great Northern railroad, and Samuel
B. Plechner, purchasing agent of tie
same road, were instantly killed
when the automobile in which they
were driving turned turtle and
crushed them to death.
Mrs. Plechner, Miss Helen James
and Miss Margaret Mann, who were
riding in the same car with the two
men, were %uninjured. Mrs. Plechner
lacerated her wrist after the acct
dent while pulling Miss Mann from
beneath the car. 50. s
The accident happened directly in
front of James J. Hills country home,
North Oaks" The bodies were TAX
en- to the Hill granary by employees
and later brought into st. Paul.
Tried to Pass Another Car.
The accident was the result of an
attempt on the part of Mr.. James to
drive ahead of another car, occupied
by o. E. Nelson, 237 Maria avenue
ST.. Paul, and w. E. Alden of White
Bear Lake, and their wives. Mr..
James ~signalled with his horn that
he would pass their car, and the Mel
son automobile turned to the right to
allow the James car leeHyay.
The spot where the accident oc-
Cured is filled with sand. The front
wheels refused to climb the grade Of
CanH tnnn1nd a onannd ar ca IN fwn
wheels and then slowly turned over.
None of the party had time to jump.
The projecting automobile top fortu-
nately raised the tonneau a little off
the ground, a feature which probably
saved the lives of the women who
were in the back seat.
Howard James was a nephew. of
the late Marshall Field, Chicago's
merchant prince, and was left a be-
quest upon Mr.. Fields death. His
mother was Mrs. Lyman James Of

WONT LEAD AGAIN
ASKS FRIENDS NOT TO LINK HIS
NAME WITH PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES.
ACTIVE HEADQUARTERS.
Strenuous Campaign for R~e-Organiza.
ton of G. O. P.-Leaders May
Meet Some Time in
January.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Presiden,
Taft has quietly informed friends that
no matter how active his participa-
ton in a reorganization of the Repub-
lican party may be he is not to be re-
garded, or publicly referred to in po-
litical speeches by Republicans, as a
presidential candidate of the party in
1916.
The president has made it plain that
he does not wish to be considered as
in any way having an eye on the first
place on the Republican ticket four
years from now. He intends to do
all in his power to help rejuvenate
the. party and probably will make
many political speeches before March
4 and after he re-enters private life,
but according to close friends, he is
in the fight to try to return the party
to power as a man who has been it's
standard bearer for four years and
not as a man seeking a denomination
four years hence.
Leaders Visit White House.
Discussion of a proposal gathering
Of Republican leaders, during the win
ter, to formulate plans for bringing
Republican factions together, is to
progress here.
Within the last week, many Repub-
lican national committeeman have
called at the White House for brief
conferences, either with the president
or with his secretary, Charles D. Hilles
who was chairman of the Republican
national committee.
A meeting of Republican leaders, to
be held at New York or Washington
some time early in January, now is
being considered; but plans are, as
yet, indefinite. President Taft and
Mr.: Hilles are being urged to take
part in the movement to establish &C
tive, militant" headquarters for the
party, to open at once and to lead a
general party reorganization move
ment during the next four years.
The Republican committeeman who
have been in Washington recently
have offered various suggestinos for
the r%e-opening of party activity.
The majority of them favor a gen.
eral publicity and educational cam
paign to strengthen public support of
Republican principles and to place the
party in a position to take advantage
of any mistakes the Democratic ad-
ministration may make"
The president is expected to speak
at a Republican dinner in New York
some time in January, but it is under
stood there has been an understand
ing that no speeches made shall refer
to the president as the prospective
Republican standard bearer in 1916.
His Endorsement of the dinner is said
to have been based on this contingent.
