Praises Nomination Of Straus.
"Whatever may be said in opposi-
ton to the principles enunciated by
the progressive party. you've got to
give Col. Roosevelt and other leaders
Of the new organization credit for
playing good politics. remarked Hec-
tor T. Tompkins. a lawyer Of New
York.
The latest move in New York. that
of nominating Oscar Straus for gov
ernor. is a shrewd and exceedingly
wise play for the progressives. Straus
will not only get a large number of
votes of republicans. but he will re-
ceive practically the solid Hebrew vote
and large support from the business
interests.
ITO have nominated a politician
probably would have been more pleas
ing to some members Of the new par
ty, but in naming Straus. Roosevelt's
former secretary of commerce and la
Dor, the New York progressives have
chosen the best vote-getter they could
find.
II hope and believe that President
Taft will carry New York. but the way
things are shaping up the chances
look more and more favorable to Will
SON."

BARROW 70 TESTIFY
DENYING BRIBE STORY
VIII Go 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 will go upon the witness stand
and seek to refute the testimony given
against 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 predlc-
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-
rroach 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?" Darrow asked, according to
Browne. and added: This is terri
ble."
Il don't know of anything that can
be done; you will have to see Captain
Fredericks," Browne testified he re-
Piled
eff I had known this was going to
happen 1 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 could
be squared in some way

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

Madison.-Charles 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 it's destruction is the great
est reform ever attempted in the
world. This traffic is crime and not
business and is illegal at common
law. All laws for it's taxation, IL
censing or sanction, are unconstitu-
tional and must be held null and
void or repealed.
ITO destroy it, a political partv
must be elected to power that Will
interpret laws and constitution in ac-
cordance with the above proposi-
ton"

ASHES BURY ALASKA TOWN.
Hundreds Are ImperiIed by Eruption
of Katmai.


Cordova, Alaska June 12.-Mount
Katmai still continues to pour out hot
ashes, pumice stones and sand which
is scattered over the country for many
miles, causing much suffering in settle
ments and endangering hundreds OF
lives. Other volcanoes in the chain, In
Guiding Mount Redoubt and Hanna,
are becoming active.
The steamer Sampson brings news
that Seldova is safe.
Cordova was in a shower Of fine
volcano ashes for hours. There is
considerable apprehension felt here
for the various revenue cutters and
1t is believed that much property in
Kodiak has been destroyed. It is
practically certain that the Kodiak
wireless station has been destroyed,
otherwise the revenue cutter Manning
could get into communication.
Kodiak and Woody Island villages
are under foot of ashes as a result
of the eruption of Katmai volcano, be-
ginning Thursday afternoon last, and
continuing 4S hours. No lives were
lost there, but it is feared terrible
suffering prevails in other villages.

Test Upper Berth Law.

Madison.-In the circuit court of
Dane county, before Judge E. Ray
Stevens, was argued the case of the
state of Wisconsin against the Mil
waukee railway company to list the
constitutionality of the upper berth
law, chapter 272, laws of 1911. The
law requires that whenever a person
shall engage and occupy a lower
berth in sleeping car, and the up
per berth of the same section is at
the same time neither engaged, nor
occupied, the upper berth shall not
be let down, but shall remain closed
until engaged or occupied. The de-
fendant railroad is charged with vic.
lation of the law.
