TELLS OF PANAMA.
Frank E. Forbes Writes of Visit on
ISthmuS.

William Forbes, a Topeka insurance
man, today received a letter from his
son. Frank z. Forbes. who is visiting
in the West Indies and Panama canal
zCne. Carroll Forbes is with him. He
describes his trip interestingly. Among
other things he says that the negroes
who form the greater population OF
Jamaica, talk in an English dialect.
The letter in part follows:
1.-THE island of Jamaica is very
mountainous, and mostly covered with
tropical and semitropical vegetation,
the variety of the trees and fruits
varying greatly at the different eleva-
tions. The highest mountain peaks
are about 5000 feet, but rising up
from so near the sea, they look almost
as high as the Colorado Rockies

interesting. through banana planta-
tions and tropical forests. The wealth

cially all through the mountains. car

ishtown, the old Spanish capital OF
Jamaica, located up in the mountains
After looking around we engaged
man to drive US out to Bog Walk,
one of the prettiest places on the
island about ten miles from Spanish
town. Our road followed the river
and we passed through many cocoa
nut groves and saw many other fruits
we did not know. They have damned

of the population is colored- The

of the cut and running into it at the

1T seems to be a problem of trans

than they can haul the dirt away. AS

That a plea of insanity will be made
for Wells Lounsberr-r, self confessed

of Constable A. D. Singler of Medford,
who was on the Southern Pacific train
that Lonsberry robbed last January

said 81 was a passenger of the
Southern Pacific on the night of Janu-

Lounsberry's first experience in
train robbery occurred nearly twenty
years ago when bandits boarded
train on which he was passenger in
the vicinity of the famous Bad Lands
in North Dakota, according. to John
johnson of Everett, Wash. who was
in Portland today. The holdup in
question also gave Lounsberry an OPP
portunity to prove his nerve.
1.-The robbers got away with both
the mail and express and, as remem-
Der it, with some money from the
passengers. Lounsbe~ry displayed his
GOODNESS by insisting upon exposing
himself to the robbers bullets to take

case" Johnson declares.

interest by the Democrats than was
the shaping of the affairs in their own

Fred E. Stanley Republican national
committeeman from Kansas, may yet
order the organization of a second Re
publican state central committee His
action will depend largely on the ac-
tions of the Bull Moose leaders and
the attitude the present state COM

Roosevelt electoral candidates.

ganize a new committee or not" said
Stanley. TT depends on the actions Of
the ProgresSives. If a committee IS
organized. it will not be with the pur-
pose of opposing the actions of the pre-
sent state committee, but only to pro-
tect the rights of Taft and the Regular

would organize with a representative

during the summer of 1909 and which
placed the Democrats in power 49,
Roosevelt then lapsed INTO polltleaI
oblivion. He refused to discuss the
political situation other than through
his publication, and terminated his ca
reer of speech making, temporarily.
Breaks With Taft.
As 1911 drew to a close, however, it
became more and more evident that he
was diSsa tisfied with the Taft admins
tration. He attacked the reciprocity
agreement and the peace treaties Wig
Orously-an action that resulted in
a breach of the intimacy between him
self and his erstwhile friend, president
This breach led to much talk of his
views on denomination his old
statement positively stating that he
would not be a candidate or accept an
other nomination was raked up and his
position in the great fight to be staged
in 1912 became burning question.
The first intimatiOn of the landslide
in favor of the colonel came with the
open declaration Of seven western gov
ernOrs that Roosevelt alone could be
their candidate Then followed rap
idIv an expression of popular opinion
that led to his open announcement that
he would again be candidate.
