IA TOILETTE NUT IN LINE
SEES DANGER TO PROGRESSIVES
 THROUGH A THIRD PARTY.
Contends That Duty Requires Loyalty to Republican Party-Not
 Agreeable to Roosevelt.

Washington, July 29.--In the cur. rent issue of La Follette's weekly magazine appears the following edi- torial by the Wisconsin Senator, en- titled, "A Call to Service"
 What is known as the progressive movement in American politics orig mated within the Republican party.
 Until little more than year ago Roosevelt had not even expressed himself as friendly to what had be- come-while he was in Africa-so widely known as the Progressive Re publican movement. Not until about five months ago did he make his so- called declaration of principles.
 Tt seems to me that the highest obligation of real progressive Repub- licans in every state is to remain in their organization and continue to fight within the lines of the Repub lican party for progressive principles, policies and candidates. No aid or en- couragement should be given to a third party plan to divide the pro gressive vote and destroy the pro. gressive Republican movement. No break should be permitted in the pro gressive ranks which will endanger the election of any progressive Re publican anywhere. Every effort should be put forth to increase the number of thorough going Republicans in the United States senate and the house of representatives.
 Progressive Republicans never had a higher call to greater service"

CHAINS SELF TO LAMPPOST
l. w. w. SPEAKER IS DETERMINED
 TO TALK ON STREET.
Rules Fail to Present Any Solution to Member of Police Force, Who
 Goes for Additional Aid.

Oakland, Cal, July Undetermined that he would air his views on the street, whether the police were agree able or not, John Wilcox, a repre- sentative of the Industrial Workers of the World, adopted the unique meth cd of chaining himself to a lamp post. after which he detied the public to re- move him until he had had his say.
 Wilcox took no chances on being torn away from his fastenings. He procured an enormous anchor chain. which he wound around his waist and fastened to a lamp post at Eleventh street and Broadway A companion locked the chain with a paddock and Wilcox began his harangue. Patrol. man ONeil heard Wilcox speaking. but did not note the anchor.
 Have you permit to speak on the streets?' ONeil queried.
 Il have not" returned Wilcox.
 Then you'll have to move on," re- turned the officer
 'I can't; I'm chained to this post" Wilcox announced.
 ONeil then discovered the heavy chain. He scratched his head, looked through the book of rules, but could find no item dealing with the subject at hand He showed his way through the fastgrowiug crowd Of laughing auditors and telephoned the central police station. Sergt. James Walters and a posse of five men rushed to the scene, armed with cold chisels and hammers. Wilcox's friends had un. bound him in the meantime, however, and the l. w. W. made his escape.

IS EXPECTED TO SCORE DEMO- CRAFTS IN SPEECH TO BE
 MADE AT CHICAGO.
WILL OUTLINE HIS PROGRAM
Will Be Feature of Address VIII Take Years to Work Out Reforms, He Says.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 29.-Theo- dore Roosevelt has let become known some of the features of the address he will make at the Chicago conven- tiOn and hopes to have incorporated in the Progressive plotform, They are:
 Diversification of industrial owner ship.
 Minimum wage scale for women.
 SiX-day working week with a maxi mum of eight hours a day for men employed in any continuing industry, Attack upon the Democratic plat form and William J. Bryan personally because of ignorance shown as to pos sible remedies for industrials. This is shown, Roosevelt thinks. by Bry- ans advocacy of the 53-cent dollar and the weakness he sees in the find ings of the present Stanley commit tee.
 Plans Will Take IS Years.
 It can be stated definitely that Roosevelt did not wish to bring some of these issues before the country at
  be impossible to work out all the re- forms that might be suggested at present for many years to come. But he also believes that if a beginning is now made on two or three points, within 10 or 15 years the next steps will suggest themselves.
 He favors a minimum wage scale for men, but thinks the women's scale should be tried first. Roosevelt be- lieves most of the leaders of the other parties In their hearts believe in the measures he will advocate, but that they are afraid to stand publicly for them at this time.
 Hopes Big Business Will Shy.
 Roosevelt is reported as being most anxious to see how the big business men of this country will take his speech as an entirety. He hopes that they will shy at the entire document because of some new things suggest ed. In his Columbus speech he be- lieves he took a conservative stand but that because of one or two sug- gestions made in the last part of the speech there was a tendency among business men to overlook the major part of it.
 In speaking of some of the new sug gestions he will advance, Roosevelt said:
 ITO my mind these suggestions are not Socialistic, but are corrective of Socialism and an antidote for an archy"
 When questioned regarding the re- port that Bryan had declared him to be a reactionary and a Hamiltonian, Roosevelt laughed and said he was glad to know Bryan had ever heard of Hamilton.
 Roosevelt bitterly criticized the Democrats for failure to vote for more battleships.

The old man started to answer
Snead, but he never finished.
Snead drew a revolver and fired
two shots into his body.
The old man started UP from
his seat then swayed and fell to
the floor. Snead, looking at him
for a moment, hesitated, then
fired three more shots into the
PROSTATE body.
Snead was arrested. Young
Boyce, who had remained in Can
ada, swore vengeance and started
for Texas. He was kept under
guard there, in the fear he might
avenge his fathers death.
Snead's trial came up. The
Snead and Boyce families hocked
to the courthouse and death came
with them.
Eugene Slayton, witness in
Ine case, was SnOt and killed by
Frank Kirklin, who caught Stay

Edward Throckmorton, star
witness for the prosecution, died
suddenly and mysteriously. 1t is
said he was poisoned.
S. S. Morris, a grocer, was shot
and killed by a detective when he
made a remark derogatory to
Snead's wife.

young Boyce. He found him
and shot and killed him.
Then came Snead's second
trial. The greatest precautions
were taken by the state. Every
person who entered the court
room was searched for arms.
Members of both the Snead and
Boyce families focked to the
trial. They had seats at adjoining
tables. But armed deputies sat
between them.
The trial judge, Swayne, gave
his instructions to the jury yes
terday.
The instructions were unfavor-
able to Snead. They practically
ordered the jury to find him gull

der.
Instead, the jury listened to
Snead's plea of the unwritten law,
for that was his only defense.
His attorneys argued that the
older Boyce had conspired with
his son to help him get Snead's
wife.
When the verdict was brought
in today Snead's friends began
cheering madly, despite the
threats of Judge Swayne.
Snead's little daughters, Geor-

father and Rugged him. They un-
derstood.
