DIR. MacGREGoR GUILTY OF MURDER
Verdict in First Degree Returned at
Bad Axe, Mich.

Bad Axe, Mich, June Robert A
MacGregor was found guilty of murder
in the first degree BY the jury, which re-
turned its verdict shortly before mid
night Wednesday night.
The case was given to the jury yester.
day evening. The history of the case of
DR.. MacGregor dates from June, 1909,
when John Wesley Sparkling, a prosper
Gus farmer, died under circumstances
which suggested poisoning. Since that
date the farmers three sons, Peter, Al
bert and Syrel, have died from sim
liar causes. Syrel Sparkling, the young
est son, died Aug. IA, 1911, cancer OF
tho liver being given by DIR. MacGregor
as tie cause. Relatives demanded an
investigation and an analysis of the or
gans of Seyrel Sparkling revealed arseni-
cal poisoning as the real cause of death.
DR.. MacGregor was arrested last Octo-
her and placed on trial April 2 this
year. Three weeks were consumed in
securing a jury, and after other delays
the taking sof testimony began May l.
Mrs. Carrie Bodie Sparkling, wife of John
Wesley and mother of the Sparkling boys,
is now awaiting trial on murder
charge, having been arrested with DR..
MacGregor and accused jointly with the
physician of having caused her sons
death.

the old-line Democrats in Washington
apparently do not want Mr. Clark TO
be nominated. They count him out of it,
and they do it so insstently that it
may be their beliefs run counter to their
expressions, or, in other words, that they
are afraid that he will be nominated.
They all like the speaker personally,
and they have little or nothing of criti-
cism to make of his public career. Some
of them do say however, that he can
not be elected and if they are sincere
in this it accounts for their manifest
opposition.
Woodrow Wilson's lieutenants within
a day or two have brought the state Of
Maine forward again as an addition to
their promised bulwarks of strength
Some time ago Senator Gardner of the
Pine Tree state gave it as his opinion
that Mr.. Wilson could carry Maine by
at least 5000 majority, and he added
that it would be suicidal for the Demo-
Gratis to ignore this opportunity in the
presidential contest Mr.. Gardeners be-
lief that Governor Wilson can carry
Maine thus is coupled apparently with
his belief that no other Democrat can
carry it, but the campaign managers OF
the other candidates say that Maine will
be Democratic next fall, no matter who
is nominated, and they add that they
have Republican authority for their
words.

Since the beginning OF phosphate min
ing in this country in 1861, 1920 y275
tons of phosphate rock has been mined
A feature of the phosphate industry
during 1911 was the prospecting of Il new
territory in central Kentucky, and it
seems reasonable to predict, according
to Mr.. Van Horn, that considerable phos-
phate rock viii eventually be produced
from this state
The continuation of work by the geo.
logical survey on the deposits of tho
western states has largely increased ths
estimates OF tonnage and has also re-
suited in the discovery of new deposits
in Montana. The western deposits ara
now estimated to contain more than
2 500 100000 tons of minable high-grade
phosphate rock (roek carrying 20 per
cent. or more of triealcium phosphatel.
Florida in 1911 continue to lead in pro-
duction, with 2,436,24s long tons; Ten.
nessee was second, with 437 $40 tons:
and South Carolina third, with l69,l56
tons. The western production was small.
The exports of phosphate rock during
1911, according to the bureau of Stats
tics, amounted to ! ,246,577 long tons, VAL

Claims of Strength.

forms, the one to be used if President
Taft is renominated and the other to be
used if Theodore Roosevelt is the con-

Republicans are doing more advance
work than the Democrats care or per-
haps dare to do.
| When Democratic leaders here are
asked about the party's Baltimore plat
form, they say that it is a matter which
will take care of itself. They do NOT
say, but they mean it that they intend
first to find out what kind of platform
the Republicans are going to build and
what kind of man is to stand upon it
before building one of their own A
Democratic senator who was asked yes
terday about the platform matter said
only: sit will be of seasoned oak"
Woodrow Wilson's friends here have
said from time to time that the chances
favor the choice of either Senator James
A. OGorman of New York or Represen-
tative Robert Lee Henry of Texas for
the position of temporary presiding off
Ger at Baltimore. The word of the VIII
son men has been that there would be
no opposition worth counting to the Sc
lection of either one of these two, but
now comes the word from other sources
that strong attempt will be made to
induce the national committee to name
Representative Henry d. Clayton of Ala
bama. Mr.. Clayton is a pronounced
Underwood man. The matter Of the per-
manent presiding officer of the eonven-
ton has been given little consideration.
Democrats in official position in Wash
ington who will say anything at all
about the nomination outlook, seem to
believe that if the final decision is to
nominate conservative it viii be Mr..
Underwood and that If the decision runs
counter to conservation it will be Gov
ernor Wilson. This is the way it was
put yesterday by southern Democrat:
