UPON MAGGIE REAGAN, AGED
IL YEARS, FRIDAY.
EFFORT Was NOT SUCCESSFUL
Now In Jail Awaiting Trial at Next
Term Of Court-Trled to Entlce
Little Girl Into Nearby House-Her
Screams Attracted Neighbors.

Lewis Turner, negro boy of about
eighteen or nineteen years Of age,
was arrested Friday morning on the
charge of attempting to rape little
Maggie Reagan, the twelve year old
daughter Of Tom Reagan, who lives
about two miles from the city upon
the farm of C. G. Vaughn.
For fear of some violence, the mat
ter has been kept secret for the
past two or three days. Immediate
ly after the arrest of the negro, he
was brought to the city by Sheriff
Goodwin, and placed in Jail. His pre-
liminary trial was held Saturday aft
ernoon before Esq. Alexander. He
waived examination, and on failure
to make bond was bound over to the
next term Of court.
The attempt to rape the little girl
took place about o'clock. The ne

their refusal, it is said, he got down
from the wagon and went up to them,
grabbing Maggie. The screams from
her and her sister attracted the at.
tention Of the neighbors. The negro
was frightened away and drove off in
the wagon.
Sheriff Goodwin was at once tele

easily identified the negro. He pro
tested his innocence, but the evidence
seemed SO clear and conclusive tina

iway, he asked the sheriff, it is stat

chance to compromise the case.

gro, and appears much older than h
really is. He has been working O

PARTY PROGRAM
Being OUTLINED
At OYSTER BAY
No Amalgamation With the
Republican Party, but
Fusion Tickets in Some
States Is the Plan.

oyster Bay, N. Y, May 29.-The pro-
gram of the Progressive party in the
campaign this fall, as outlined thus far,
Is understood to be as follows:
1. No amalgamation with the Repub-
lican party. as such.
2. Fusion tickets in cases in which
candidates who accept the policies of
the Progressive party are nominated,
where the naming of two candidates of
this description would split the liberal
vote.
3. Inslstence on policies rather than
party names. and an endeayor to con-
solidate in every state the voters who
approve of the principles of the Pro
gressive party.
A. In New York state. the probable
Endorsement OF the Republican candi-
date for governor, provided he is a man
personally acceptable to the Progress
slves and Is willing to approve their
platform unequivocally. While Colonel
Roosevelt declined to commit himself
last night to this program, 1t was
learned from an excellent source that
the Progressive leaders had virtually
decided to adopt tentatively the fore
going plan of action.
Situation Is Clarified.
The colonels conference with the
Progressive congressman in Washing
ton Tuesday and his talks at Sagamore
Hill with Progressive leaders from all
parts of the country since his return
from South America have resulted in
clarifying what was muddled situa-
tion.
Colonel Roosevelt met last night five
New York state Progressives. 1t was
pointed out to Colonel Roosevelt that
In the opinion of some of his asso-
ciates the party could hardly hope to
poll as many votes as in 1912. when
the colonel headed the ticket. More
over, 1t was said that II the Republi-
can party should nominate man of
the type which the Progressives ap-
proved they would gain nothing by
putting a ticket in the field.
In this connection the name of Sena-
tor Harvey d. Hinman, known as a
staunch Hughes man during that gov
ernors term, and one of the authors of
the Hinman- Green direct primaries bill,
was brought up as a possible candidate,
who, II named by the Republicans,
might be indorsed by the Progressives.
