Automobile and Bicycle Collide.

Saturday afternoon. while AdOlph
Stiemke was riding his bicycle on Sec
Ond street, an automobile from Mayville
driven by its owner, turned from Market
street on to Second, and few feet from
the corner ran into Stiemke throwing
him from his wheel, bruising him quite
badly and wrecking the bicycle. Though
the automobile was going at moderate
rate of speed and on the proper side of
the street, the owner generously gave
Stiemke S25 to cover the damage.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Great inter
est centered today about the decision
Of the tariff conferees to exempt from
the income tax that portion Of the
premiums on mutual life insurance
policies returned to policy holders as
dividends. such action on the part
Of the conferees was unexpected, as
the amendments originally made by
the senate to that end had been
dropped out before the bill went into
conference.
Under the decision reached last
night all life insurance companies
writing mutual policies, and mutual
marine insurance companies are treat
ed similarly.
No part Of their income IS exempted
except that part Of the premium on
any policy that is returned to the pol.

WIFE AND FATHER OF THE MUIR
DERER SAY HE is THE
SAME PERSON
THE THEORY is IMPOSSIBLE
THE SUSPECT MAN WAS IN SAN
FRANCISCO WHEN HOMICIDE
OCCURRED

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 20.
There was small doubt today in the
minds OF the San Francisco detective
bureau that Joseph Ellis, the man
sought by the police of Pittsburgh,
Louisville and Indianapolis in connec.
tion with series of hotel robberies
! eliminating last Monday night in the
murder at Indianapolis of Joseph
Schlansky, a second hand clothes deal
er, is now in the city jail here book
cd as Fred Brokaw.
At the same time, it seemed to be
established that if both Ellis and
Brokaw are the same person, the man
sought is not the Indianapolis slayer.
The alleged murderer bore a remark
able likeness to Ellis or Brokaw- a
likeness so complete and satisfying
that a photograph of Brokaw sent out
by the Pittsburgh police in circular
form, and which he admits to be his
portrait, had been positively identi-
fed by a woman who believed she
married him, and man who believes
himself to be his father The father
swooned and the woman tried to COM
nit suicide when shown the circular.
Yet Brokaw was arrested here on
the day the Indianapolis murder was
committed, and he is able to account
for his movements satisfactorily for
some time previous to his arrest.
Brokaw denies that he is Ellis, but
the evidence gives him the lie. He
admitted today that he was arrested
in Los Angeles November 26, 1909. The
records of the Los Angeles police
force show that on that date Joseph
Ellis, alias Fred Brokaw, alias Fred
Boley, alias R. White was arrested.
And the charge was obtaining
money under false presentes?" he was
asked
1T was something about money"
admitted Brokaw. Yesterday he said
he was arrested in Los Angeles as a
deserter Then he was shown a dis.
patch from Los Angeles.
why, they're crazy he exclaimed
I'm not Ellis. newer used that
alias and my father is living in spo-

If they look up the register Of the
hotel in Los Angeles where I stayed,
they'll find that was registered
under my right name, as Brokaw,

THE RADICALS DECLARE THEY

Washington, Sept. 25- The nomina-
ton of Federico Gamboa, Mexican
minister Of foreign affairs, ~ the ca
thclic party for president, re-awalsen-
C1 interest here in the Mexican sitrs-
tion. Secretary Bryan declined to
comment on the situation.
While the United States might ulti-
mately recognize Gamboa, If chosen
at legal and fair election, the dispo-
sition in official circles was to doubt
whether he could be elected. Repre-
sentatives Of the constitutionalist
party declared the radical party Of
Mexico would take no part in the cleo
tons and that the revolutionists would
refuse to recognize Gamboa The
opinion Of American officials was that
the nominee Of the Catholic party
could not triumph at popular cleo
ton in Mexico.
The overwhelming opinion recently
shown in the Mexican chamber Of
deputies against the selection OF Edu-
ardo Tamariz, a leader Of the Catholic
party. as minister Of pE6lic instrue
tion, is regarded BY officials here as
Indicating how unsatisfactory Gamboa's s
candidacy would be to the liberals.

said to have been issued in Mexico

about SO leaders, declaring definitely
that the liberal party would take no
part in the elections because Mexico
was not in state Of peace necessary

ing an intimation that the Mexican
congress might defer the elections

eral party any election cannot be

Officials were very reluctant to ex-
press any opinion on the Gamboa can
didacy or its relations to the attitude
of the United States toward Mexico.
It appeared plain, however, that the
administration view was that the
Gamboa candidacy was practical
elimination Of Huerta-the principal
thing for which the United States has
contended in all its negotiations. and
in that respect the development had
brought the situation in accord with
President Wilson's Views
