detectives ran down clews that led to
different cities. ........-
One of the places visited was one Of
the beet sugar fields of Michigan. The
rumor had reached the police that the
children had been kidnapped by a Hun

to Michigan. Detectives were sent to
Michigan and visited beet districts in
several counties of the state but re-
turned emptyhanded.

The lawyers for the defense en-

the accused may be examined by ex-

as witnesses the Duke Of Aosta, the
Count Of Turin, the minister Of war.
and the under secretary for foreign af-
fairs. The judges refused the latter
demand. The entrance of Palermo in
court caused a sensation. He is a
wreck and almost unrecognizable. Ev-

Taft Renews Charge That
Opponent is Supported by
Men Indicted by Admins
tration; Names Perkins.

Bellevue. O.. May 17.--In a speech
here today President Taft declared
that much Of the support now being
given Col, Roosevelt In his fight for
tho denomination is coming from men
indicted by the Taft administrator.
"To say that, because a man sup
ports you, you are bound up with MIN
is to say something not justified by
the mere fact of his support. II It were
Justified thus could say that Mr..
Roosevelt ought not to get your vote
because all the indicted people are
supporting him--as they are, or most
of them.
"Mr. Perkins, director in the steel
and harvester trusts. was Influential
in his last administration to preven'
suits against them" he said. he is
not influential enough now. He Is a
contributor to Mr.. Roosevelt's po'
litical fund"
Tar Has Busy Program.
Cleveland, o. May 17.-Refreshed
by a comparatively quiet day here and
prepared to keep up the fight against
the denomination OF Col. Roosevelt
until the end, President TAFT left
cleveland early today to take up
again his speech making tour OF the
state.
Friends of the president were con-
f1dent today that he was more deter
mined than ever to make the struggle
for Ohio's forty-eight delegates to tne
republican national convention as
strenuous as possible.
Although Mr.. Taft declined to dis
cuss reports, published here that ne
might abandon the fight for renom-
ination IL he should lose in the OHIO
primaries men close to him place no
credence in such report. They point
IN the fact that hundreds OF delegates
to the convention are instructed ana
pledged to Mr.. Taft and that the Tart
workers throughout the country have
nut I'D their best fight for him. Iney
figure also on the bitter resentment
the president has shown toward Col:
roosevelt and a few OF them would
concede that he would ever withdraw
in favor of his predecessor.
Talk of Mr.. Taft's retirement from
the race for a dark horse in case he
loses Ohio is also discredited by his
friends. Advisers with him on his
Ohio trip say he will stick in the fight
to the end.
The presidents schedule for today
called for speeches at Lorain, Belle
vue, Fremont: Fostoria, THIN, Carey,
Upp, Sandusky, Kenton, f1ndiay.
Bowling Green and night address at
Toledo.

TAFT PRAISED
AT Lake M0H0Nk
DlSPLEASURE EXPRESSED At
PEACE CONFERENCE OVER
= DEFEAT OF TREATIES.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 1.-THE
platform reported today by the execu-
tive committee of the Lake Mohonk
conference on international arbitra-
tion was in part as follows:
"The eighteenth Lake Mohonk con-
ference on International arbitration
expresses it's profound gratitude to the
president of the United States for his
illustrlous service for the cause of in
ternational peace in the effort for the
arbitration treaties with Great Britain
and France. We believe the president
in this memorable effort, represented
the great popular sentiment of the
American people,; and deploring the
defeat Of the movement for his high
purpose, we call upon the people for
unremitting endeavor to secure the
early conclusion of treaties of equal
or broader scope with the great ma
tions of the world.
1T Is pre-eminently the duty OF the
United States to maintain strong lead
ership in this commanding cause. We
record with satisfaction the recent
ratification by the senate of the
United States of the declaration Of
London which makes It possible to
establish the International prize court
and on the eve of the creation Of the
committee to prepare the program for
the International conference, we urge
such broad and advanced American
action as shall contribute to secure
the most efficient basic of organiza-
tion and procedure for this and future
conferences; the adoption of general
treaty, the marked development Of
the international conference; we urge
tion for the limitation of armaments.
1--WE emphasize anew the need Of
earnest efforts everywhere for such a
public opinion as shall compel the
powers party to The Hague conven.
tions. to respect the same in letter
and spirit and to resort to no hostili.
ties until all possible means Of peace
full settlement are exhausted
Other planks express the gratifica-
tion of the conference at the prominent
place given arbitration on the pro-
gram of the coming International con-
gress of chambers OF commerce and
at the "inspiring evidences of the
broadening cooperation of the worlds
peace workers." given by the presence
of many foreign representatives at the
present conference.

4 Busy Day on the Stump
for Taft and Roosevelt in
Presidents Home State
Colonel Reiterates in Talk to
Veterans at Portsmouth
That Opponents are Not
Real Republicans.

Portsmouth, O., May 17.-"Our op-
ponents are not the real republicans,
we are," said Col. Roosevelt today in
his speech at Portsmouth to civil war
veterans.
"We progressives OF whom our op-
ponents speak as If we were not the
regular republicans, are the men who
are now true to the principles OF
Abraham Lincoln" he said. eve are
the men who have the right to appeal
to you veterans as our spiritual
fathers. We are your heirs We are
trying to carry through your work.
There never was a man who trusted
the people moro implicitly than Abra
ham Lincoln. There never was mar
whose trust was SO justified.
"Mr. Taft has tried the dangerous
experiment of improving on the words
of Lincoln. Lincoln said that this Is
to be a government of the people,
for the people and by the people
Mr.. Taft has said that this IS to be
a government of the people by rep
resentative part of the people.
''In practice we know exactly what
that representative part of the people
consists Of. 1t consists of Lorimer in
Illinois, (there is little of the gilt
off him Just at the moment); of Mr..
Penrose of Pennsylvania, 1--WE took the
gilt off Of him); of the Southern Pa
ciiic railroad In California, 1--WE took
q little gilt off them the other day..
I'm short, in actual practice, gov
ernment Of the people by repre-.
sentative part Of the people always
means and always will mean govern
ment of the people by the bosses for
the special interests.
II am for a representative govern.
ment absolutely so far as it represents.
but when the representative does not
represent, then, want the people to
have a chance themselves"
Victories In Primary States.
Portsmouth, o., May 17.-"In eleven
states which have held popular pri-
maries," said Col. Roosevelt in a
speech at Ironton today, ''the pro-
gressives have won every time except
once, and that time we lost by less
than 1 per cent. II we could have
had direct vote in thfrty-three states
instead of eleven, the fight would have
been over two months ago."
At Lima, Col. Roosevelt read let
ter written by Judge Alphonso Taft.
the presidents father to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. After quoting Judge
Taft's opinion, in referring to Grants 8
candidacy for third term, that the
only danger lay in the use Of federal
patronage for the purpose of procuring
a third consecutive term, he said that
Judge Taft's name headed the list OF
members Of a Grant Third Term club.
Down among the list Of members
comes the name of bright young rep
resentative Of the family, Charles P.
Taft" he said. 1.-THE whole Taft family
was in that movement. l will appeal
from son to the father and ask you to
accept the sound common sense which
the father spoke as to the ridiculous
folly Of raising any talk about third
term when the terms are not consecu-
tive, and the man out Of power has no
earthly means Of influencing a single
Office holder, single privileged repre-
sentative Of the privileged class"
