BORAH UNDER SUSPICION.
MOuthpiece In Committee Contests Roasted For Attitude In Indiana VOte-Warmly
 Defends Course.

Chicago, June 11.-Bitter dissen- sions were in evidence in the Roose- welt camp, today, as the result of the decision in the Indiana contests for the delegates-at-large. Many of the attaches of the headquarters of the Oyster Bay aspirant blamed the out come there on Senator Borah and they intimated that the reason for his failure to vote to seat the Roose- welt contestants was because he had vice. presidential aspirations. The Senator bitterly. resented this criti- cis1n. He authorized the United Press to deny emphatically that under any circumstances would he take second place on any ticket.
 "I want to say that I can conceive no combination of circumstances that might arise that would cause me to change my mind on this question. The suggestion that any consideration of personal advantage would in any way influence my vote is an insult and absolutely without foundation.
 Some of the socalled Roosevelt men wanted me to vote to seat the contesting delegates-at-large from Indiana. Now. out west we believe in the primary. It expresses the will of the people. There was a primary in Marion County. There was un- doubtedly some frauds in that prf- mary. But they were insufficient to

TAFTS FATE IN HANDS OF BOSS" BARNES NOW.

Chicago, June 11.-Within three hours after he arrived in Chicago, William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state committee of New York, had been preclpitated into the center of the stage. He has been commissioned by the Taft forces to defeat Roosevelt. That is his only task and he can use any methods that he desires to attain that result even though the ultimate outcome should be the abandonment of President Taft as a candidate for renomination.
 Barnes is only a recent Taft advo- cate. Until Roosevelt loomed up as an active candidate, Barnes favored the turning down of the. President for the nomination as he insisted that he would not prove the strongest candi- date. But now Barnes is for Taft and will be for him as long as there is a chance of nominating him and the Taft men were certain today that they would control the convention nominate the President and dictate its platform.
 Barnes centered all his energies to forming a concrete anti-Roosevelt or ganization which would serve as a weapon of defense as we'll as offense. He conferred secretly with all of the members of the Taft steering com- mittee although he kept carefully away from the Mckinley headquart- CTS in the early part of the day.
 Barnes has been commissioned by the President and his managers to take care" of Finn, of Pittsburgh. Ways and means were discussed at brief conference with Secretary Hilles. Then the New York boss went back to his headquarters and got busy with the long distance telephone.
 Should 1t develop before the na- tional convention meets, one week from today, that President Taft can- not be renominated, another candi- date may be precipitated into the limeliSht in the person of United

ASSESSOR WALSH
 MUST GO BECAUSE
 MACHINE SAYS so
Mayor Would Like to Keep Him but He Harkens to fi1e Voiee of the Master

Upon excellent authority the Farmer learned today that Mayor Wilson has informed William V. Walsh, mem- Der of the Board of Assessors that he cannot re-appoint Walsh at the ex- piration of his present term in August of this year.
 Mir Walsh was appointed a member of the Board of Assessors by Mayor Lee Former Mayor Lee is not in hearty, sympathy with the policies of the present administration and while none questions the. ability and effici- ency of MT. Walsh as member of the Board of Assessors, he must go because of the feeling of the ruling powers towards Mayor Lee.
 MT. Walsh has proved of much value to the board, particularly in its as sessments upon buildings, for he is experienced in practical architecture as we'll as in the theory of building. His judgment of real estate values. too, is regarded as first class.

Stratford, June 11.--"This is a nice quiet town" said one of the Yeggmen to his pal as the party dropped off 8 freight train passing through Strat- ford something after midnight < this morning, preparing to blow up tho new safe of the stratford post office.
 -"As Esafd,'' he continued, "this 1s a quiet town, and we. musnt disturb the Yokeis any more than we have to-
 And asking pardon for the delay, he put his Jimmy to the door of F.. Anderson's blacksmith shop, broke in, went to Plumb & Barton's general store delivery wagon and laid hold of a couple Of heavy horse blanketa within. ss+
 The town was fast asleep. The stars were bright, the skies clear, and in the, crisp cool air of the backward summer the natives were sleeping the sleep of the just.
 One of the cracksnen knew the way better than his pals. He had This way" he said, as they cautious ly picked their way through back yards and over fences up to the rear of a two; story building known as Tuttle's block.

 One fi1hed from beneath his coat a kit containing an outfit Of safe drills. He descended upon the safe, a massive thing, about four feet tall; three feet deep, standing out on the floor of the office near Postmaster William B. Bristols desk It was bought new last December.
 Another got busy on a. side door, to provide a ready exit in case of emergency. The third began making "soup." This isn't the edible variety of soup, but Q hurried preparation of nitro-glyoerine made from dynamite.
 The gentle art of safe blowing is no schoo1 either. The most import important t thing of all is the preparation of soup. When the soup Is ready. the safe must be properly eoaped.
 First the creviceS in the safe are carefully waterproofed with soalp which is rubbed into the apertures. Then the holes. drilled through, the | must be filled with soup. The soap prevents leakage. Then in real high grade work such as that last night the !craEksmen blanket their prize and set off the charge.
 Soaked with water to make them more dense, the blankets were shroud- ed about the safe, and explosion No. 1 was set off. The first one served to kick the outside door to pieces.' The door weighs about a quarter of a ton. All this time Mrs. Bova, a fruiterer, who occupies the floor over the post was soaccomplished so quietly that she wasn't disturbed. tA
 When the dust had cleared away they started anew on the second door, and this soon. gave way to another powerful charge. Then they got busy gathering up their loot. Stamps piled high in various compartments of the safe were hauled out to the light

United States Marshal Sidney E. Hawley, for many years sheriff of Fairfield county has received word of his appointement as an assistant ser geant at arms at the forthcoming Republican National contention.
 This will be pleasing news to the many admirers of the doughty Re- publican whose influence throughout Southwestern Connecticut for many years has been accounted strong factor in the affairs of the party.
 It will not be altogether pleasing however. to the machine that, now controls local Republicanism for Sid's independence has frequently thwarted

There was nearly $1,3oO in ones, threes and lives. There was about SIS in change, most of 1t strewn about the floor with the fire proofing cement that had been sblown out with the second explosion
 All these stamps. and the money ex- cept some change scattered in the further corners of the room, were piled together. Tn the pile were a number of certificates Issued by the postal savings bank in stratford, ranging in value from $1 to $10 These were in blank. and non-nagotiable but they took them along just the same.

 They picked up half a dozen bits and a brace used in the safe drilling, a jimmy which they fitted to the marks on the back window, and discovered a lot of first class finger prints both on the doors of the safe and on the wall. These were photographed for reproduction and comparison with the finger prints of well known criminals kept in the big police department, un- der the Berttillon system.
 That Mrs. Bova, the fruiterer, slept throughout the explosions is not so strange when the expertness of the workmen is considered. They didn't break even one of the panes of the post office boxes. or the windows within a few steps of where the safe stood.
 The police believe the safe blowing was done by post office burglars who have been busy in New York state. They may be back there by now: They went by freight, just as they came. At least, that is what the sleuths think. and their suggestion is as good as any.

CORRUPTION CHARGED BEFORE COMMITTEE
RooseveIt's Own Men Vote to Seat First
 District Taft Men
BARNES OF NEW YORK TAKES CHARGE OF TAf1S CAMPAIGN
New York Leader to Have Final Say as to Whether Taft Shall
 Stick or QuIt--Root Looming Up

Taft scored heavily again today be- fore the Republican National commit tee when by a vote of 38 to II the four delegates-at-large from Ken lucky were accorded him.
 Shortly afterwards the committee by a unanimous vote seated W. J. Devoi and John T. Tooke. Taft dele- gates from. the first district of Ken lucky.
 Despite all of the: bluster and brag of the Roosevelt forces the entire vote of the committee was cast for the Taft men in the district fight.
 The national committee this after noon seated the Taft delegates in the 2nd Kentucky district. They are R. 4. Cook and J. B. Harvey. Just be- fore the vote on this district was taken. Governor Hadley, of Missouri, was given a seat in the committee on the proxy of Sidney Bieber, of Dis trict of Columbia.
 Chicago, June 11.-That. the Re- publican state organization in Ken lucky retains its control there through the widest corruption of vot- CTS, going so far at times in the bat tie to carry primary election to per- petuate control as to import voters from West Virginia, Ohio and Ten neogee. at ;50 centa c mead, was told the Rensblican national committee. today.
 7 These charges were made in con- nection with the contest brought by tho Roeaevelt forc>s h the Blue Grass State 44afust <7 the defegates-afs14F86 from Kentucfxy- anN iii the sevSra1 congrSssi6nal districtE. But despite 4 mass of evidence of the alleged cor ruption the committee, positively re- fused to go behind the returns of the regularly held lstatef@ convention and by vote of 3s to II confirmed the claim of the Taft de1egates-at-la Senator w. 70. Bradley, Judge Breathitt, W. D. Cochran and J. B. Wood, to their seats in the conven- ton and a place in-- the temporary rolf.
 The Il men who voted that the Roosevelt, contestants should be seat ed were: Knight, California; Borah, Idaho; Littauer. as proxy for <F1ani- gan, Nevada; Heney. California, as proxy for Thomas Thorson of South Dakcta;; Loose, Utah; Monday, Ten nessee; Bfeber District of, Columbia; LOuQeu, lk1uOlS W1SHLs AOulSl8u9s Duell,. as proxy for. William Ward of New York, and Kellogg, of Mime sota.
 Before the committee voted to seat the delegates-at-large, Borah and Heney denounced / the proposal o of Committeeman Mccoy from the Phil ippines that several hundred affida- wits presented be read.
 In the Missouri contests it is claim ed the Taft people tried to circum- vent the direct primary law and it was reported that Heney has been prined with a speech which is ex- pected to make trouble and at the same time furnish the Roosevelt with reason for directing all of their, delegates to disregard the action of the committee.
 Because of the slow progress made it was believed, today, that the com mittee will take up night sessions. night, as they plan to have the temporary roll of the convention by Saturday night.

"In SO far as the propaganda for

holding out to those whose unrest
we fear a prospect and dream, a
