new PARTY VOTE LIGHT
The Third Termer9 Made Poor
Showing in Michigan.

Detroit, Aug. 2S.-On the face of
incomplete returns which, however,
are considered fairly representative of
the vote cast in yesterdays statewide
primary, Amos P. Musselman of Grand
Rapids appears to have defeated Sec
rotary Fred G. Martindale by several
thousand votes for the Republican
nomination for governor. Every con-
gresham who sought denomination
with the probable exception of one
and the bare possibility of two, has
been successful There was but one
contest for nomination for United
States senator and Alfred Lucking of
Detroit Democrat, is leading George
F. Hummer of Holland.
The Progressive vote was exceeding
~ light throughout the state. OF the
$3.50 votes cast in So of the 1T De-
trcit precincts for mayor, there were
962 Progressive votes, which is said
to indicate a fair average through the
state.
City Clerk Charles A. Nichols, state
Progressive leader, said the vote by
nc means indicated the strength of
the new party
He said scores of men enrolled in
the old parties did not vote because
they did not want to change their en-
rollment at the primaries" Among
the aldermen arrested in the bribery
cases who were candidates for re-
nomination eight seem sure of victory.
One of them, Thomas g. Gilman, is
charged with having received the larg-
est bride in the Wabash railroad case.

HE WAS in JAIL?
Israel Released From Topeka
Jail Day of Plat Murder.
But Whether in Morning or

This afternoon Chief of Police Nor

the chief of police in Salt Lake City,
confirming the story sent from that
Press, to the effect that Steve Israel
had confessed to the murder of Ben
jamin PIatt, but, the telegram adds,
this morning Israel denied his fornaer
story and stated that he not only did
not kill Platt, but that he was in the
Topeka jail at the time of the murder,
and read the. story in a newspaper
while in Jail.
The police records bear out this sec
ond statement, as he. was released on
February %, 1910, the day of the muir
der, but the record does not show the
hour of his release, which must be
left to the memory of the officers. If
released in the morning, he could have
committed the crime, but if released
after noon, it would have been i'm

T. r. Says Penrose Ought to Be Put
Out on His Own Testimony.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 2S.-Colonel
Roosevelt declared that Senator Pen
rose, on his own testimony, should be
expelled from the senate. Colorel
Roosevelt had maintained this position
in the letter to Senator Clapp, chair
man of the senate committee invest1-
eating campaign contributions, which
he is preparing.
The colonel made his statement af-
ter he had read from what purported
to be an extract from Mr.. Penrose's
testimony before the senate committee
to the effect that he had advised John
D. Archbo1d of the Standard OIL COM
MANY to make a second contribution to
the 1904 campaign lest the company
encounter difficulties in certain quar-
ters. Colonel Roosevelt said in his
opinion this was an offer OF protection
from the government IN return .loI
cortribIltion and it did not differ es-
sentially from the sale of police pro-
lection in New York

TWO SAD CASES.
Helen Morris and Mary McDaniels
Victims of Fathers.

A tragedy in the life of a young
orphan girl was laid bare by an &C
zion brought in the probate court TINS
morning when A. F. Morris and his
wife, 10 North Lake street. were
charged with delinquency. The girl
herself, who was adopted from the
State Orphans Home at Atchison
about a year ago, declares her foster
made improper advances toward her,
and that her foster mother not only
has gone on protracted- drunks, but
has suggested that she and the girl go
to Kansas City, where they would be
able to make easy money.

vorced from a former husband, L. d.
Arnold, on charge of being init
mate with Morris. Later she married
Morris. At the time the divorce was
granted, April 6. 1908, an adopted
child was awarded to the woman with
the provision that Arnold would pay
for its keep. This child is lost and
an effort is being made to find where
it is.
An investigation in the present case
was instituted by KHmaurS King and
his sister, agents of the Foster HUI
name society, and resulted in the ae-
ton brought in the probate court. But
when the warrant was issued and ser
vice was sought it was learned that
Morris and his wife have sold. their
furniture and are reported to have
gone to Kansas City. An effort Will be
made to locate them.
About two months ago Helen says
her foster parents gave her whisky
in egg nog and made her drunk SO
that she knew nothing from just al
ter dinner on Saturday until sunday
morning about 10 o'clock. They made
her work, she said. first in cigar
factory and later as chamberma1d IN
