President Taft is reported to have
made this statement to White House
callers, today, and to have added that
he had no objection to the statement

1t undoubtedly was intended to set
at rest all reports that Mr.. Taft might

The President is said to be thorough

that under no circumstances will he
withdraw his name from considera-

Bath, Me, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Mildred T.
Keefe, who is being tried on charge
of numbering her 3-year-old son. took
the stand this afternoon, in her own
defence. Her appearance as witness
camo as a complete surprise to the
court and county attorney.
Under examination Mrs. Keefe adj
mitted that the story which she had
first told, that the boy had fallen from
a bridge into the mill pond and been
drowned was falsehood. She testi-
fed that on the day in question she
took the boy out for walk and that
after going some distance aimlessly
they took a short cut across the fields
which border the mill pond. When
near the pond she was taken i'll, she
said. and stepped into the woods. re-
turning in a few minutes to find the
boy missing. After looking about for
time she discovered his body in the
water and was too frightened and
nervous to Fnow what to do. so hur
ried back to the village and notified
the city marshal. She was afraid. she
said. that he would accuse her of
having been negligent if she told the
real facts and so she invented the
story of the child having fallen off the
bridge.

An Appeal to the
World for Peace.

publishes striking appeal to the
world in favor of peace written by
Captain Louis Marie Julien Niaud,
better known as Pierre Lott, the fa-
nous traveller, author and friend of
the Mohammedan. in which he hays
the rapacity Of Europe in regard to
the Mohammedans.
Italy's indefeRsible seizure of Trt-
poll and her war on Turkey are. says
Nj. Lott, manifestations of this mock
cry of modern civilization, which
looks on TRANQUILITY at massacre. at
war and at the splitting of innocent
blood. NJ. Lott compares certain of the
European powers to hyenas waiting to
fill their stomachs with the remains
of MANNED and dying Turkey He de-
clares that the time has arrived for
the Christian world to cease from hui
man butchery for, he says, the
of all. killing with words of frater-
nifty on their lips and destroying with
fire and shot the old worlds of Africa
and Asia, and treating like cattle the
men of the brown and yellow races.
M. Lott concludes:
Wars of conquest on whatever
pretext they are undertaken, must be
stopped or the words peace, progress
and arbitration will remain empty

Raised Prices to Prevent
Cutting The Market.
Which, Of Course, Would Not
Help the Meat Consumer!
Armour Man, W. D. Niles, Unwilling
Witness at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-William d. Miles,
general manager for the Armour Pack
ing Co. at Kansas City, from 1894 to
1902 testified, today, in the trial of the
10 Chinese packers, charged With Grim
inal violation of the Sherman law,
that the old packers pools We're or
gained to prevent Cutting the mar
ket with fresh meat and that there
was always active competition be-
tween the members in all parts of the
country.
Although Miles had twice testified
against the packers before federal
grand juries, he proved an unwilling
witness, today, and little of value to
the governments case was cleaned
from his direct examination, which
was not concluded when court adj
iourned for the day.
The witness testified for the first
time that BLACK test cost and a
RED test cost were used in the
bookkeeping of the Armour Co, the
former representing the fiat price of
the animals and the latter included
other items of expense. The govern
ment contends that the Red test
cost was secretly used by the COM
biration in fixing the price of meat.

Important Move May Be Made
By Defence in RiChesOn Case,

Boston, Jan. 3.-The fact that the
attorneys for the Rev. Clarence V. T.
Richeson, accused of the murder of
Avis Linnell, did not visit him in his
cell at the Charles Street prison, to-
day, but instead held consultation
which extended through almost the
entire day, coupled with other intima
tions, led to the general belief that an
important move is soon to be made
by the defence. ,

Stricken with Acute Indigestion at His
Washington Home -One Of Most
Popular Officers Of Navy
In Battle as Well as in Peace.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans, Fighting Bob" to
an admiring nation, died suddenly, late
today, at his home in this city. Acute
indigestion ended the career of one of
the most popular officers in the navy
He was i'll less than two hours.
Admiral Evans. born 65 years ago
in Floyd county, Virginia, arose, today,
apparently in better health and spirits
than he had enjoyed IN some time. For
years a sufferer from old wounds sus-
tanned in the Civil War and from re-
current attacks of rheumatic govt. the
aged fighter seemed to have shaken
off the burden of his advancing days.
He displayed high spirits at breakfast
and ate a hearty luncheon at noon.
While in his library at . O'Clock the
admiral was taken i'll. Instantly his

his arrival found the patient in great

fell into restless sleep and it was
thought that the danger had passed

ChanIer Asserts He Would
Jump from Window
II CaVaIieri Should Insist on
Entering "His' House.
Divorce Granted the Singer in Paris
mo Contest Made.

Paris, Jan. 3.-"If Cayalieri comes
in by the dor, 1 will jump out by the
window" was the statement by Rob-
ert Winthrop Chanler of New York,
according to the decision by the civil
court here, today, in grinting a di-
voree to Nine. Lima Cavalieri, the
grand opera singer, from Chanler on
the ground that Chanler constantly
refused to receive his wife at his
home.
ChanIer adhered to his purpose not
to contest the divorce and the pro-
ceedings were of a purely formal char
acter. The court found it had no
choice, but to grant a divorce in favor
of Cavalieri and against her husband.
There We're no pleadings and the judy
ment was read in an empty court
1t was pointed out that all legal re-
quirements to preserve the union were
observed when an authorized agent,
says the judgment" summoned Chan
Ter to take UP married life again.
Chanler replied that he declined to
live with his wife, adding that he had
enough and had mapped out his life
otherwise
1t was further set forth that when
the sheriff visited Chanler with sum-
mons, Chanler finally signed it, say
ing he did so on condition that he
would never again hear his wife
spoken of.
The court then quoted CHAMBERS ex-
preston that If his wife insisted on
entering the house he would jump out
of the window and concluded by APP
pointing n liQuidatOr to arrange the
property rights of the parties.
Chanler was condemned to pay all
the costs of the proceedings.

first TO express his grief and condo

Admiral Evans was one of the most
successful squadron commanders we
have had in the navy, for long time
He was a rigid disciplnarian, of quick
decision and admirably advised in the
intricacy of the machinery of cruisers
and battleships and skilled in drilling
them. I am very sorry To hear of his
death"
Admiral Dewey was SO overcome
that he could utter but few words
Il am shocked beyond measure at
the sudden death of my lifelong
friend, Admiral Evans was all he
could say.
Secretary Meyer paid this tribute to
the officers memory.
"Ey the sudden death of Admiral
Evans the country loses one of its
