So Convicts Serve Time for
Wrong Grimes.
Each e-Arrested After Serving
Is Month Sentence.
EFT BUTTER FREE
Thus They Get Into Trouble for
First Time.
How Second Indictment Was
Discovered by Convict.

Leavenworth, Jan. 2.=For broth
ers, Q. e. Davis, awaiting at the coun-
tried for using the mails to defraud,
and Arlington L. Davis, serving
term in the federal penitentiary for the
same crime, do not reSem bic each 9TH
er closely except in the quality of their
voices. That is unfortunate for both,
c. E. Davis says.
c. E. Davis completed a sentence of
eighteen months at the federal penl-
tertiary last week upon conviction in
the United States district court at
Madison, Wis, of using the mails to
defraud and as he left the gate Mar
shall Harrison arrested him upon
warrant charging him with the same
crime at Quincy. He left Davis in the
county jail here.
I admit that I was guilty OF the
first Offense," said Davis, but I'm
innocent of the second. My brother
was guilty and he is serving time for
that now. Arlington served pre-
vious term in the federal penitentiary
but that was for my crime. He. plead
ed guilty then with the understanding
that, the Indictment against me at
Madison and the charges against him
at Quincy would be dropped. Upon
his release, however, he was tried at
Quincy and sent here again"
Got Butter for Nothing.
c. f. was a partner of Thomas E.
Lees, a commission merchant, at Mad
ison. They wrote letters to creamer-
les throughout the west ordering one
tub Of butter from each. They paid
for this. Davis says, but later they
ordered larger shipments from each
Davis says he gave the second orders
over long distance telephone, and the
firm failed to pay for them. He thinks
$1,000 would cover the creamery deal
ers' losses. His brother conducted
similar business at Quincy.
Just before the exposure" said
x7-~, II
my brother to Milwaukee. He was ar
rested there and the creamery men
from whom had ordered butter over
the phone Identified him as me by his
voice. Strangely the cashier Of the
bank at Madison, who knew me, also
thought him to be me although we
don't look alike.
Arlington pleaded guilty at Madi-
son and came here for eighteen
months When his sentence expired
he was taken to Quincy and sentenced
to a year and a day here for using the
mails to defraud I was arrested
year after Arlington was sent to pris-
on and followed him here for eighteen
months.
Learns of Second Charge.
Il did not know there was an in
dictment against me at Quincy until I
applied for parole. The board recon-
mended me, but Attorney General
Wickersham refused to grant my pa
role because, he said, second charge
hung over me. That was the first 1
knew about it.
II have letters promising that the
Quincy indictment will be dropped if I
reveal the whereabouts of Lees, my
partner at Madison. I don't know
where he is. I also have affidavits to
show that l was at Camden, n. j.,
when the last indictment alleges / was
in Quincy. Residents of Quincy, who
have seen my photograph, say that I
was there at that time.

GERMAN STRIKERS
AND POLICE CLASH
One Striker Killed in Battle
and Considerable Prop
erty Damaged

Berlin. March 13.-The coal min
ers' strike in the great German fields
of Westphalia has taken a serious
turn and already has resulted in ia
tai clash between the police and the
striking miners of the district Of
Herne. At the village Of Herne. five
miles from Roshum. "A mob Of strik-
ers threw stones and fired revolvers
at a. detachment of police marching
toward the mine which they had been
ordered to protect. The police re-
piled with their revolvers and one
striker was killed.
AT Hamborn a fight occurred be-
tween the strikers an dthe police yes
terday. Large reinforcements of po-
lice have arrived. so that the calling
out fthe military, which has been
under consideration, has been defer
red.
During the night the strikers re-
-" tedly bombarded the police,
throwing bottles and stones from the
upper windows of the houses as they
moved along the streets protecting
non-union miners.
A large body of strikers also de-
molished number of gas lamps in
the town and many merchants were
forced to barricade their stores. Or
der was restored in the town today.
The mine owners have provided
covered wagons in which the non.
union strikers. Of which there are
few. are escorted to and from the
pits. A considerable number of ar
rests have been made. The feeling
among the men who have struck is
increasing in intensity. owing to the
rigid repressive measures of the au-
thorities.
From several quarters come reports
OF serious disturbances and the min
ers who remain at work have to be
strongly protected.

Attorney General Wickersham and his
special assistants. Frank Il. Kellogg
and Cordenio A. Severance, filed a
brief Of their argument
to be made orally In court shortly aft
er. April l. when the legality of the
merger will be presented for decision.
In addition to the brief Of argu-
ments a second brief of 500 pages was
required to set forth the facts in the
case. The court was told in the sec
ond brief that the railway combination
now sought to be dissolved originated
with Edward H: Hartman, Jacob H.
Schih and associates.
The government declared that the
trial court was wrong In holding two
railroads could not be competitors un-
handled BY them wholly over their
own rails. Instead OF there being no
impairment Of service the government
asserted that tho merger had resulted
In the gross increase of rates, the pre-.
vention Of the construction of new

Pacific train near Sanderson early to-
day when he trapped two highwaymen
who had held up the train and killed
them. The robbers boarded the train
few miles east of Sanderson. The
mail and express cars and locomotive
were detached from the passenger
coaches. Then the engineer under
the cover of the robbers guns. was
compelled to run the two coaches
ahead of the remainder of the train.
One Of the robbers took Express
Messenger Truesdale back to the train

Rousing Roosevelt Club Or
ganized There Last Night
Already at Work

F,orman. N. o.. March 13.-A rous.
ing Roosevelt club was organized In
this city last night and plans we're
laid to get out every Roosevelt vote
possible at the primaries next Tues
day. AS the time for action was short
It was determined that the work
should be largely individual and that
each member was to work from nov
until Tuesday to see that every Roose-
velt voter was at the polls and voted
both for Roosevelt and the Roosevelt
delegates.
The Roosevelt Republicans in this
city and In Sargent county are alive to
the fact that a vote for LaFollette ia
first q vote for Taft and is second a
vote for the Democratic nominee. For
this reason every Roosevelt Republi-
can is at work to see that the Roose-
velt voters vote for the right dele
gates and for Roosevelt. Sargent coun-
ty will give Roosevelt a big majority.

carrying forward these policies which
Theodore Roosevelt had inaugurated
in favor of these great national prin-
ctples. Mr.. Taft adopted the plan of
least resistance and became the ally
Of Aldrich and Cannon and submitted
meekly to the direction of these repre-
sentatives Of big interests enjoying
special privileges.
He discharged from his service
practically all of the men who had
given Roosevelt's administration a
worldwide reputation and surrounded
himself in his cabinet and appointed
men with corporation influences. The
result was a failure to keep the
promises Of the republican platform
In 1908 followed by a disastrous No
vember election in 1910 in which the
states Of Maine, Massachusetts,. New
York. New Jersey and Ohio went
democratic.
To make the situation worse the
president called q special session of
congress and forced through a meas
ure which cost the president the con-
fidence and support of large major
tty Of the American farmers. the
farmers from the east and middle west
claim the president was willing to
strike down all protection from farm
products without the advice Of an ex-
pert commission but refused to permit
lection on manufactured goods until
an expert commission had made a
most careful investigation of the
whole subject.
They therefore argued that the Ca
madam reciprocity treaty was reci-
procity in name only and was entirely
9 one-sided affair and also declared
that 1t was breach Of good faith.
As result of all this 1t seems Inn
any considerable number of farmers
votes in the November election II
through the southern delegates and a
few scattered delegates from northern
states his nomination could be Sc
cured.
Mr.. Tafts election is absolutely
hopeless. II he drags tho national
ticket down It is only reasonable to
suppose that numerous republican
states would go down in the landslide
which would inevitably follow his
nomination OF Theodore Roosevelt
means the election in every normally
republican state of the state ticket,
the control Of congress by the repub-
hcan party and the carrying forward
Of the greatest administration In the
interests Of all the people that has
been witnessed since the days of Alb.
raham Lincoln.
1t is my Judgment that the hope
of the republican party from the ma
tion as we'll as many states depends
upon the nomination at the Chicago
of Theodore Roosevelt.
