Robbery was the motive of the
crime and the sum of 1886 was miss
ing from q trunk in the bedroom of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacoby.
Smith was boarder in the Jacoby
house and SCI of the money taken be-
longed to him. He denied all knowl-
edge of the crime.
Frank Jacoby, the husband and
father of the murdered woman and
child, is laborer in the Rowland
pulp mill. Sunday afternoon, he
started off on berrying expedition
with his cousin. He returned at $50
o'clock, meeting Smith, who was
crossing the bridge from West En-
cid to Rowland. Smith told him that
he had been unable to gain admit
lance to the house. The curtains were
all down, he said. and the baby was
crying. Greatly alarmed, Jacoby has
tened home. He forced a. window OF
his bedroom on the ground floor. Tho
baby was crying in his crib.
Gradually as his eyes became ac-
.customed to the dim light, he saw
the body of his 4-year- old son, Fred,
stretched on the floor. He carried the
ted his cousin and tried to revive the
child. His cousin entered the bed
chamber with a lighted lamp and
there on the bed was stretched the
body of Mrs. Jacobin. She had evil
IDENTIFY been murdered while asleep
There was terrible cash above her
right eye, her nose was broken, and
her face and head Were completely
covered with blood which had spat-
tered about the walls and ceiling of
the ROOM She had died without a
struggle. The club with which she
had been killed was afterwards found
in the loft of the shed, where it had
been thrown by the murderer. 1t was
four inches through at the butt, and
"a little over two feet in length.
In the meantime, the boy, Fred,
who had been struck over the right
temple, was taken to c. F. Spencer
house near by. The child regained
consciousness but once. He died at
10 a. NJ, Monday.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.

Washington. Aug. 26.-Wfthin ar
hour after the adjournment of Con-
gress, today. President Taft was on
his private car bound for Beverly and
a vacation which he expects will be-
broken but little until December.
The White House. tonight was prac-
tically deserted, for Major Rhoads.
the Presidents personal aide. Assist
ant Secretaries Forster and Brahany.
and most of the Office employees left
with the President. Summer Offices
will be opened in Beverly at once and
probably most of the force will stay
there until late in October.
The President left tired bat happy.
Although he will have only "a hours
of vacation before he leaves to fulfil
an Ohio engagement, he expected to
have a long morning on the golf links
at Myopia and several motor rides.
The President will return to Wash
ington for one day early in Septem-
Der and once again later In the
month, but he did not expect to. spend
many days in the White House until
election time. He probably will re-
eeive the returns in the White House.
Later he plans to spend few weeks
at Hot Springs. Va.
The President had almost lost hope
of getting away. tonight, when he
left the executive offices at luncheon
time. When he was informed there
was good chance of adjournment.
he ordered his automobile brought to
the White House door immediately
and. as soon as luncheon was finished,
hurried to the Capitol.
Only a few resolutions and bills
were waiting for his signature, and
many senator's and congressuieu
dropped in to say goodby, including
Senator Cullom.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagii
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
were two cabinet members left in
town who spent an hour or two in the
Presidents room. His pleasure at the
prospect of getting away was unmis-
taxable. He signed the last bill with
a flourish and sigh of satisfaction

Thomas K. Marshall of Indiana op-

said
I have lived long enough to follow

them all to he sbffty, uncertain and
dishonorable. First it was to pay off
the war debt by compelling the for

consumers of this country all the
necessities of life except those grown
upon the farms, not for the benefit Of
the government but for the benefit of

The relentless cruelty to the con-

are sold at less price to the people
abroad than to the people at home
Surplus products, il is explained, but
it is not explained why men go on
from year to year making products in
vaster quantities than are needed only
to sell the surplus at loss. i am in
favor of a system of taxation which

My Dear Sir:-I have your very
courteous and convincing reply of the
goth, to mine of the Gath. | regret to
say that ! am not deeply surprised
at it's tone, a feature which | shall
not attempt TO emulate.
Suffice 1t to say, as | distinctly
pointed out in my letter of the above
date, that / do not claim to be run
ming on anybody's ideas or platform
save my own. I think that search
for information rather than for cpl
thets would leave no doubt of that.
The attitude of the two factions Of
the National Republican party or what
regard as the main issues is referred
TO. and my position on each of them
defined in detail | assume that the
public is intelligent enough to say
how far it agrees with me. A full and
specific statement of what one be-
leyes and stands for is not my con-
coption of a straddle or an evasion.
IL sought to do that, I should state
generally that | agreed with some
one else. and then try to keep pace
with developments To copy ready
made views requires neither courage
ner originality.
I regret that this controversy should
have gotten onto Your nerves. A dis
cussion of the issues material to the
present campaign, and for which you
and / respectively stand, would not
have precipitated it,
Respectfully yours.

British Newspapers Give
7 heir Views Of Canal Bill.
Characterize II as Dishonest
Reputation Of Direct Bargain.
Pail Mall Gazette Scores Americans
For Dishonesty and lack Of Honor.

London. Aug. 26.-rhe Panama
ea-lal bill is characterized, this morn
ing. as practically a dishonest repu-
diation of direct bargain by news
papers representing the views of all
the British political parties.
Meanwhile no definite procedure nv
the British government in regard to
the bill can be framed, for nearly all
the cabinet ministers are scattered
over the European continent at vari-
Gus watering places or else are shoot
ing grouse on the Scottish moors and
a majority of the prominent politi-
clans outside the cabinet are engaged
i'll similar ways.
lt is certain. however, that the
government will propose the reference
of the question to The Hague court
OF arbitration, although no details OF
the method of submitting it have yet
been settled
The Pail Mall Gazette in an edi-
torial, is disposed to agree with the
Paris Temps that the probity of the
United States government is on a par
with that of the New York police. 1t
prints in parallel columns details of
the Panama discussion and of the
New York police scandals and says
NO honest minded American look
ing at the parallel columns in today's
newspaper, which record these two
reproachfnl histories can avoid feel
ing that contempt for national honor
in nigh places coupled with such
grave infamies in the detail of ad-
ministration, point to a generic evil
in public life that calls for most
strenuous and united efforts at re-
forn.''
The Westminster Gazette. in a
more friendly article. praises the
great work of canal building and
SAYS that it did not occur to anyone
in Europe that in the -Paunce-
fote treaty the United States did not
limit itself in the exercise of its SOW
ereign rights, as nations generally do
when they make treaties.

fered from decorations about the fore
head and bruises about the body.
