sponsibility of the operation upon the
minister, who had come here from
Greenville. Tenn. where he was in
charge Of United Presbyterian mis-
sion. Later in the day MIR. Blakely
presented the statement in evidence
and 1t was admitted by the court, al
though Attorney Homer l.. Castle for

that Miss Coe was not of sound mind
when 1t was made. The opening day

point to his past record and experi-

established beyond question. and to
the further fact that his administra-

urge all voters to give this matter
their careful consideration, not as a
matter of politics but as a matter Of

ANARCHIST WAS
SOMEONE'S TOO.
Attempt to Assassinate King
Emmanuel Result of Plot
or Conspiracy.

Rome. March 15.-Major Giovanni
Lang, the commander of the royal
body guard who was wounded in the
head yesterday when Antonio Dalba.
the anarchist, attempted to assassin
ate King Victor Emmanuel. is con-
sidered by the physicians to be al
most out Of danger. He suffered from
an affection of the eyesight due to a
fragment of his helmet which pene-
trated the skull, pressing on the optic
nerve.
The suspicion increases that Dali
ba's crime was either the consequence
of plot or due to an instigation of
some persons who used the weak
minded man for their own purpose.
The revolver used by Dalba was a
costly and formidable weapon foot
in length. Dalba when interrogated,
said he found the weapon.
kilograms of congratulations from
every part of Italy and also from
nearly every part Of the world poured
into the palace today. Among them
were many from sovereigns, the first
to arrive being that Of the Austrian
emperor.
Mayor Nathan, accompanied by the
aldermen, went to the quirinal at noon
today to renew In the name Of Rome
their expressions of Indignation at. the
attempt on the kings life. King Vic
tor Emmanuel and Queen Elena in
reply said they were overwhelmed by
the exhibition of affection on the part
of their subjects.

OF the various measures before it and

Washington. March 15.-Hundreds
Of applications for copies Of the
patent monopoly" decision had today
reached the supreme court of the
United States and quickly exhausted
the available supply of printed copies
OF the opinion Just from the press
Foremost among the requests were
thosef rom senator's and members Of
the house who are bent on amending
the law to avoid the consequences Of
allowing patentees to have the right
to restrict the use of unpatented arti-
cles on their patented machines.
Many of the inquiries We're directed
to ascertaining how far "cut rate"
stores would be affected by the opin-
ion. Justice Burton expressly stated
that there would be no collision be-
cen the rule under the patent law
which he was laying down and the
rule pronounced by Justice Hughes
last year in Miles Medical company VA
Park & Sons. In the latter case Jus
tice Hughes pointed out that the sale
restrictions upon articles, such as
patent" medicine which really are
not under thep rejection Of the patent
laws. were invalid as against public
policy.

Il Former Senator Beveridges Speech Indianapolis in
II Favor of the Nomination of Roosevelt for President

The following masterful speech by
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge OF
Indiana in favor Of the nomination
Of Theodore Roosevelt for president
was delivered at Indianapolis last
Wednesday night:
Az party men we want to win. AS
citizens we want the great forward
That 10 why we want, as our candi-
date for president, the leader Of that
movement and the man who surely
can be elected, Theodore Roosevelt.
What republican do democratic poll
ticians most fear? The mere pros
pect Of Roosevelt's nomination scared
the democratic politicians so badly
that they actually proposed to put on
tho date Of the democratic national
lieved that they would have a walk
away next November.
But this is no mere struggle for poll
teal Office. 1t Is no ordinary party
contest. The welfare Of a nation Is
wrapped up in this fight. The pros
perity of honest business and the daily
bread Of wage earners is involved. II
we nominate a candidate who will be
beaten. the result will be what hap
pened to the country once before un-
der the same conditions. No man the
strong a president az Cleveland was.
The democratic leaders In the house
of 1912 are not the equals Of the DEM
ocratic leaders in the house Of 1898
On the other hand. the democratic
Germans in the senate Of that day
were no stronger than those who now
stand In the senate for what German
stood for then. SO republican defeat
in 1917 would mean Just what II did
Y
Democratic Starvation.
Fonr such years will be hard enough
