SHE HAD NIGHTMARE.
Mrs. Grace Told Her Husband She
Might Kill Him.

Atlanta, Ca, March 81 might
kill you at any time, Gene"
This is what Eugene Grace claimed
his wife, Mrs. Daisy Obie Grace,
charged with shooting him, told him
one morning after she had emerged
from slumber that had been troubled
with unpleasant dreams.
Grace, it is said, told his attorney
yesterday all about the nightmares
that he said his wife had been having
for three weeks prior to the shooting.
The attorney said Grace told him that
when Mrs. Grace talked aloud in her
dreams, her former husband. Obie,
who died in Philadelphia, was the
central figure and that he appeared to
be menacing her.
Were these dreams real or feigned
is the question that is puzzling detec-
tives and others trying to clear the
shooting mystery.
Mrs. Grace maintains her innocence
while in Jail. 1t is reported attorneys
soon will make an effort to have the
court agree to allow her to make an
other bail, even at larger figure
than that on which she at first was
$500. If the condition of
her husband shows improvement or
grows no worse, it is said endeavors
to have another bond named will be
made today.

Man in Jail for Shooting Himself at
Home With Own Gun.

Washington, March "a citizen of
GAINESVILLE. Ga, who declared he had
been fined $25 for shooting himself
accidentally with his own gun in his
own home has appealed to Attorney
General Wickersham to know if there
is any law in the land justifying such
punishment. Pending paying of the
fine, he is in Jail.
He laid stress on the fact that the
gun was his own, the scene was his
own home and the injury was upon
himself. He asked "the governments
highest attorney to look his case over
and reply at once" The department
of justice responded that the matter
was outside federal jurisdiction.

BRITISH ARE HOPEFUL.
They Still Think Scott May Have
Reached the Pole.

London, March 9.-Captain Amund-
sens triumph is generally acknowledged
here as being complete and the Nor
wegian explorer is hailed as the con-
queror of the South Pole. Many Brit
ons, however, for the time being still
are clinging to the hope that Captain
Scott's return may furnish dramatic
climax to the Antarctic story.
The Royal Geographical society, while
not questioning Captain Amundsen'S s
feat is awaiting news from Captain
Scott before committing itself by send
ing congratulations to Captain Amund-
sen.
In the meantime if the Norwegian
explorer has any further secrets to re-
veal he is reserving them for publica-
tion through the same channels that
he has hitherto used. Rear Admiral
Peary, Sir Ernest Shackleton and DIR.
Charcot, all are prominently displayed
in the newspapers as supporting that
both the British and the Norwegian eX-
plorers may have reached the goal and
each of them remained in ignorance OF
the others success.

w. w. Strickland, freight auditor OF
the Santa F'e in Topeka, stated this
afternoon that Mr.. Healys death must
have been sudden as his office in To-
peka has been receiving personally
signed mail up until yesterday. No one
in railroad circles in Topeka seems to
know of any trouble Mr.. Healy has
been having physically that could have
resulted fatally in such a short time.
Mr. Healy was in Topeka with the
Santa F'e for nearly 30 years, begin
ming in 1879 when he was made freight
accountant for the road in this city
During this time his family was well
moved to Los Angeles when he was
made auditor of the coast lines of the
Santa Fe.
W. J. Healy was born near Roches-
ter, N. Y, in August, 1S49. At an
early age his family moved to Moline,
the high school in 1857. Three years
later he entered railroad service. He
was made bill and ticket clerk of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific in Mo-
line. From 1871 to 1873 he was re-
lief agent, telegraph operator and
agent for the Rockford, Rock Island
& St Louis railway.
From 1873 until 1879 Mr. Healy
began his accounting work that re-
suited in his promotion with the Santa
Fe. On the Rockford. Rock Island &
St Louis railway he was successfully
clerk in the accounting department.

to students at the Armour Institute of
Technology. BE a bit slow about
schemes to reform the world"
President Taft's appearance before
the students, to whom he was intro
duced as THE chief progressive of the
nation was the first public event of
his two days visit here.
''I would not discourage you in your
efforts toward progress; all I ask is
that you apply the test of human ma
ture," he said. Progress always will
be made wherever education spreads.
Be optimistic boys. Because you get
jolts don't think the whole world is
against you One man does not make q
multitude any more than one swallow
makes a summer.
1.-The only thing the country can do
is to make more perfect the equality
of opportunity. The opportunity that
comes to a man today is greater than
that which comes to any other people
in the world. Study how for 125 years
the law and constitution have worked
and reason out why we have survived
and show the world that popular gov
ernment is the most enduring. You
will find after a while that it is best

In Address to Legislature of His
Native State.
RECITES DEMOCRAT RECORD
Says the Party Is Redeeming
It's Platform Pledges.
Tariff and Trust Control the
Issues This Year.

Frankfort, KY, March 9-Champ
Clark. speaker of the National House
of Representatives, a guest in the capi-
tai of his native state, today recounted
to the Kentucky legislature the record
made by the Democratic party in con-
gress.
1--WE have absolutely kept faith with
the people," he said. I'VE have re-
deemed or are in process of redeeming
every promise we made in order to win
the elections"
Declaring that the tariff and the
question of trust control will over
shadow all other issues of the coming
presidential campaign Speaker Clark
said:
TT has been given out in a manner
that seems authoritative that President
Taft proposes to veto any tariff bills
that we pass. We welcome the issue.
We do not believe it can be postponed,
minimized or shunted out of the way.
1.-The present tariff law raises about
$3.50, 100000 a year.
''It is estimated that every time one
dollar goes into Uncle Sans Golfers
under the high protective tariff sys-
tenn, about five dollars go into the
pockets of the tariff barons. This be-
ing true then the high protective tar
billion and a half yearly. 1t is
gross outrage and cruelty on the tax
payers"
Party Progressiveness.
Taking up the proposition of party
and popular progressiveneSs Mr.. Clark
declared the only way to achieve pro-
gress is at the hands of the Demo-
Gratis. He said progressives in the Re-
publican party would enact remedial
legislation if they could. but stand
patters are in the majority in that
party and cit looks as if they would
continue to dominate it indefinitely"
Mr. Clark said that on the strength of
this condition he proposed for indie
pendent support of Democratic can
didateS this year.
Mr.. Clark declared the Republicans
undoubtedly would attempt to befog
impending issues and lure us away
from the tariff and the trust ques-
tions because they realize that on
these issues we will defeat them, most
decisively.''
The battle of tariff reform and the
proposition of the control of the
trusts, he said, must be fought to
finish
