MADISON, Wis, July 10. -
Senator Robert M. LaFollette to-
day went on record as opposed to
the third party movement father
ed by Colonel Roosevelt. In an
editorial In LaFollette,s Weekly,
he not only declared against the
Roosevelt move, but scathingly
attacked the colonefs motives in
organizing the new party.
LaFollette's editorial Is head
ed .The Case of Mr.. Roosevelt .
and he sums up his conclusion
az follows:
Progress Only In Words.
~ = Mr. Roosevelt appeals to.pro-
gresslves to join his party. Roose-
velt's whole record demonstrates
that he has no constructive pow
Ier: that the is progressive only In
words; that he is ever ready to
compromise to win regardless of
platform promises or progressive
principles.
"He will not last. In the end
the people of this country will
get his true measure. No party
was ever successful organized
about a man. Principles and is
sues must constitute the basis of
any great movement"
Compares Roosevelt and Bryan.
Comparing Roosevelt with Bry-
an, LaFollette says:
Bryan at Baltimore, foregoing
all chances of his own nomina-
-tion, marshalling all his forces,
braving Tammany and the trusts
to rescue his party from their
domination, carrying the conven-
ton for the adoption of a pro-
gressive platform, the most pro-
gressive yet offered, was a tow
ering figure of moral power and
patriotic devotion to civic right
eousness.
Roosevelt Had Great Chance.
Roosevelt at Chicago, backed
by money derived from the stock
watering operations of the steel
trust and the Harvester trust, or
ganizing what are now confessed
to have been fake contests as to
nearly 200 delegates in order to
control the convention and secure
his own nomination, refusing to
aid In the making of progress
siye platform, bound to have the
nomination or detsroy the repub-
lican party, was most striking
example of misdirected power and
unworthy ambition.
He had as great an opportun-
ity as Bryan to serve the progress
sive cause but he was serving the
man. not the cause"

BUT-THE MAYOR SAID II
WAS UP TO MILLS, sc
THERE.

Mayor Seymour's suggestion to
Commissioner Mills yesterday
that there ought to be a woman
cop hit the women voters just
right. Already they are all
wrought up about it.
At 8 o'clock this morning a
handsome, business appearing
young woUan was at the office
of Mills to get the appointment
on the spot.
"Why there Is none to be ap-
pointed" said Max Garretson, the
clerk. "The place has not been
created yet"
The young woman went off up
to see the mayor.
A few minutes later an elderly
matron came in. She too was di-
rected to the mayor.
II tell you we need woman
policeman, said the lady.
1--WE need someone to lopk
after the eight hour law"
The mayor said 1t was up to
Mills solely and the women left.
"I'll have talk with him. :"
she said.
1t looks as II the mayor stirred
up something.

been drinking to the extent OF
incipient intoxication."
The committee yesterday called
upon William A. Simmonds. re-
porter for the Seattle Times. to
explain the basis of u story pub
lished in that paper that the Han
ford prosecution was prompted
by the vice and white slave syn
dicate. Simonds said that Judge
Hanford made that complaint
himself. He said he agreed with
the Judge because he knew the
latter had sentenced many white
slavers. The article in question
referred to the white slave syn-
dicate having employed detectives
to shadow Judge Hanford with
the view of bringing about his
impeachment.
Ballinger alone Of all the attor-
neys involved will not take the
stand to defend himself against
the charges of conspiracy in con-
nection with the Hickman and
Hansen bankruptcy case made by
Attorney j. l.. Finch.
The last of the other sttorneys
accused by Finch tes.,ned today,
declaring that their connection
with the famous case in which an
estate of 100000 was dissipated,
was proper and legal.
Attorney j. B. Metcalf and the
referee In bankruptcy, John p.
Hoyt. occupied practically the
whole of today's session, detailing
their connection with the Heck
man and Hansen affair.
Chairman Graham of the inves-
tigating committee today denied
the rumor that Judge Hanford
had told the COMMITTEES that he
would order a complete invests
cation of the charges against
Ballinger and others made by
Finch.
II hae never spoken to Judge
Hanford" said Graham.
James. A. Clark, q barber, tes-
titled that Judge Hanford was
unmistakably intoxicated one
evening about six years ago when
he came into his shop for .
shave.
Asked by Chairman Graham az
to whether in his opinion Judge
Hanford was intoxicated at that
time, the witness replied:
II should say he was"

UNION CITY, Mich, July 12.-
have seen and talked with the
only woman. who can lay just
claim to this title: "The cham
pion mother of America" Mrs.
William Moore, of this place.
Nineteen times has Mrs. Moore
gone down INTO the valley of the
shadow of deatflt to usher into life
u tiny babe; seven times twins
were born to her, making 25 chii-
dren in all! That is the mother
record for all America.
Born in Columbiana county,
o., August 20. 1868, she. a Ia
Iyear-old country girl. married a
young farmer named Wilkinson,
at Belfontaine O., in 1877. They
had one baby. girl. The father
died and the widow married Will
lam Moore, also farmer, at Ken
ton, O., In 1881. II. :.
In 1883, Mrs. Moore had her
second child, a boy. A girl, the
26th child. was born to her June
D., 1911.
Only 21 of the children are
alive; five daughters are married
and have made Mrs. Moore grand
mother to Is children.
asked Mrs. Moore the ques-
tion that would occur to most
people: do you love the last
baby as well as you did the first?"
This was the mother answer:
mo mother of just one child
could love a child any more than
] do my 26th; nor any more than
/ did my first, or any other of all
those born to me.
Don't you think II your fam
fly OF children had been smaller,
a larger per cent of them would
have lived, and they would have
had more chance to grow physi-
caily, mentally and morally?"
Maybe SO, one can't tell; all
know is that the Lord gave them
to me and / have done the best
could to bring them up. Now
there is Joe, he's the best boy
anywhere. Apd there are my Ave
married girls. all happy and we'll,
and you see these here, they're
well and happy OF course they
have to work hard. else we would
starve. All of my children have
had to work from the time they
could walk"
But the school teacher told me
that Fannie, age 10, had only s
days schooling last winter; that
Frank. IL, was only in the third
grade. 1t was plain to be seen
that there are hard times In this
family.

GRIFFIN IN
BAD SHAPE

George Griffin, who was charg-
ed with insanity by his wife fol-
lowing the excitement caused by
Griffin's stories that she had been
murdered and which led to the
dragging of the Narrows for her
body and the supposed sunken
launch, was still at the county
jail today.
His transference to the asylum
at Steilacoom was delayed yester-
day in the hope that he might
partially recover when notified
that his wife was well and safe,
but he was more violent today
than before and it is probable he
will be taken to the asylum Inn
mediately. Grave fears are enter
tanned fc- his recovery. 1t is
believed he will succumb to ex-
haustion.

SEATTLE, July 12.-Hanford
congressional committee is on it's
twelfth days investigation of the
charge of drunkenness alleged in
the impeachment complaint
against Federal Judge Hanford.
The first night session held by
the committee last night avs oc-
cupied by. the testimony Of Al
fred Battle. law partner of Rich
ard A. Ballinger. ex-secretary of
the interior, who was principally
involved in the conspiracy case,
which was aired before the COM
mittee for two days. Ballinger
did not choose to take the witness
stand himself.
|. Battles testimony throughout
was an attempt to explain a num-
Der of alleged shady transactions
charged to Ballinger and other
attorneys, and claimed by wit
nesses to have been countenanced
by. Judge Hanofrd.
John H. Powell, L. G. Turner
and Ira Bronson, members of the
bar association committee which
"whitewashed" Ballinger several
years ago, alos were called by the
defense in connection with the
Finch testimony.
Frank A. Paul, attorney, testi-
fed that he had seen Judge Han
ford in such a condition that IF
1t were not that he was a federal
Judge. one would fhink he had
