rather than the Democratic stamp tax.
We fully endorse the candidacy of
Charles Evans Hughes for president
of the United States, feeling and be-
lieving that he stands unqualifiedly
for the principles of Americanism de-
manded by our people. His splendid
record both in political Office and in
the judiciary, his keen vision, his I'M
daunted courage and his splendid
mentality commend him to all right
thinking men, who desire for presi-
dent truly representative American.
We likewise take keen delight in
commencing to the suffrage of the
eighth congressional district a man
who has never failed to sand squarely
for the principles of true Republi-
canism, Joseph w. Fordney. 1t is a
source of great pride to the people Of
his district that they have been able
to produce man who has so indie
libby written his influence into the af-
fairs of the nation.
The recent primaries, just closed,
have brought forth a candidate for
governor Of Michigan in the person of
Albert f.. Sleeper who deserves the
support of every voter regardless Of
party who desires clean, capable,
business administration Of the affairs
of our state. We commend him to all
classes of men of every phase of
political belief.
We likewise view with pleasure the
career Of Senator Charles w. Foster
and our capable representative in the
State Legislature, John Y. Martin.
These men have in an upright and
fearless manner represented the af-
fairs of their respective district and
deserve only words of the highest
concentration.
1t is a source of the utmost salts
faction that the Republican and Pro
gressive parties are again fighting
for the same principles, shoulder to
shoulder, under the same leadership.
We believe in our principles and we
believe in the men chosen to represent
those principles. In the election in
Maine, yesterday, we have ample
proof of the result of reunion. For
nearly four years the country has
borne the maladministration of a
party coming into public Office by
of the popular vote. Such
a happening cannot re-occur. We fore
shadow nothing but overwhelming Re-
publican success and a return to the
principles Of the Republican party to
which the future of our land is ire
vocably linked.
We recommend and endorse the
County candidates for Office recently
dominated in theeRepublican Primary
Most of them having proven faithful
and efficient public servants in the
various offices they now hold and
those who newly ask the suffrage of
the people of the County having
proven in other capacities that they
are well worthy of promotion in the
public service.
We endorse the candidacy of the
Hon. Charles E. Townsend for the
election to the Senate of the United
States and heartily approve Of the
manner in which he has performed the
duties Of that Office with credit to
himself and with honor to the Senate.

 MEXICO IN GOOD FAITH
General Trevino's Special Re port Does Not State Any thing in Regard to Alleged Escort of Carranza Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Car ranza reply to the demand of the United States for the punishment of the bandits who killed eighteen near Santa Ysabel has not reached Wash ington, but officials are not inclined to doubt the good faith of the assurances of Arrendondo. the ambassador desig- nate. that every effort will be made to capture the murderers. These assur- ces were renewed by ArrendondO in making public the report of General Trevino commanding the forces de- tailed to capture the bandits and in sure protection in the district where the bandits have been operating The day passed without a repetition of the outbursts of indignation in Congress-
 Chairman Stone of the Senate forl eign relations visited Lansing and asked that the committee be advised of receipt of further information. The secretary promised this would he done General Trevinos report described the massacre as follows:

TOMBSTONE. Jan. 15.-(Specia)- The jury in the case of the State vs. Annie Olds is still out and from the present appearances it appears as though they would not arrive at a verdict. They went to supper at six o'clock this evening and then return ed to the jury room. They win. in all probability. be held by Judge Lock wood until Monday morning. The closing testimony of the case is given below
 The defendant was placed on the stand and related the story of the shooting. She said on the afternoon, of the accident she had been engaged in packing up her things to leave for Douglas where she had some lots that she intended to sell. She then intend ed to go to Fl Paso and that MT. Olds was to join her She said that she had been in the kitchen washing the dishes and same into the front room and started to get the gun from the foot of the bed to put it in her suit case and as she raised up with the gun in her hand it went off and the bullet struk Mr Olds, who was sitting on the opposite side of the bed from her and that as the gun went off she heard him groan. The witness de- clared she immediately ran out the back door and called to Roy English to get a doctor. that she had accident, ly shot Mir Olds. She stated that she then went back to the door lead ing from the kitchen to the front room but that there were several men there with MT. Olds and that she did not go in where they were but stayed in the doorway and later sat down at the tabdle in the kitchen an re- mained there until after Olds mad died and was at that place when she was informed that he was dead.
 She denied most of the statements made by other witnesses and said the story about her coming over to the Hartman house after him with a gun was because he was drunk and she wanted him home. She stated that he was in the habit of drinking con- siderably and at times was very brutal toward her.

UNITED STATES CALLS MATTER
 CLOSED
General View Expressed that Withdrawal of von Papen and Boy-Ed Ended Ameri- can Interests in Plots.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.- Disclos- ures of alleged activities of German agents in the United States contained in papers seized by the British from Captain von Papen. while command ing intense interest. have brought no indication of official notice. The gen eral view is that the United States practically closed the incident when it called for the withdrawal of von Papen, colleague of Captain Boy-Ed
 Much of the correspondence cabled this country is looked upon by most officials as being little more interest ing. That which purports to have been between von Papen and Werner Horn is eagerly awaited. however. as possibly being a link in the chain of evidence which government agents have collected regarding the attempt ed destruction of the railway bridge at Vanceboro. Maine. In the files of the State Department is all data col lected by agents of the Department of Justice secret service operators and others touching almost every alleged war plot in this country in the last eighteen months.
 On the surface the officials express surprise at suggestions that von Pap on or Boy-Ed were under surveillance in this country after the outbreak of war because such action would hard ly be in keeping with diplomatic usage The State Department records. how ever. are said to reveal that the acti- vities of both were known to the gov ernment in detail.
 Payments by Captain von Papen to two persons charged with playing Im- portant parts in the activities of Ger man agents in the United States were disclosed by further examination of documents in the British governments possession. The bank books show that checks were given to Paul Koenig

FATAL | I |ES WHEN E-2
 MEETS RUIN
Submarine Craft in New York Navy Yard Blown Up from Cause Unknown; Four Are Killed; 3 Injured; 7 Hurt.
SPECIAL BOARD IS
 INVESTIGATING CAUSE
Several Theories Are Advanc- ed; Under Sea Craft Was Undergoing Repairs in Dry
 Dock; Detonation Terrific.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-Four men were killed and ten injured. five of them dangerously. in an explosion of the submarine E-2 while the craft was undergoing repairs in drydock at the New York Navy Yard. One of the killed was a civilian enlisted cleo trician and other three civilian work CTS. At least three of the injured are not expected to live. The detonation was terrific but the vessels shell was so tight that the accumulated gas could not escape for more than at hour before the bodies were recover ed. The cause is unknown. Rear Admiral Usher, commanding the YarG. examined the craft and questioned the workmen but declined to ex- press an opinion.
 The injured men and one body were removed soon but the bodies far down were not reached until the gas was blown out by compressed air Naval officers led a rescue party into the drydock but were partly overcome by the fumes. The number of men were at work in the vessel at the time of the explosion is not known definitely. Pending the appointment of an official board of inquiry by the Navy Department. Usher has named a temporary committee to investi- gate. This committee began to take testimony from workmen.
 What caused the explosion of the submarine E-2 probably will be un- known definitely until the special board of naval officers appointed to investigate completes its inquiry The first report said storage batteries in the vessel caused trouble but later of ficial information upset this theory.
 According to navy regulations board was appointed consisting of Lieutenant Commander Pope, Lieuten- ant L. NJ. Stewart and Lieutenant Rush s. Fay. The board will meet immediately to investigate and re- port. Aside from the hydrogen gas theory, submarine experts say they known only two possible causes. One is that the oil used to drive surface engines exploded. There has never been an accident of this character, even on boats operated by gasoline which is more explosive than the heavy oil used in the engines of the E-2.
 A second possibility is that the air flask exploded. The flasks which fur nish the motive power of the torpe- does carry a pressure of 200 pounds per square inch. The fiasks are used to store air which the submarine is submerged carry less pressure. The fact that the victims were burned seemed to dismiss the possibility of a flask exploding. It is learned that consideration is being given by off cials to operating submarines by com pressed air while submerged

PRICE FOUND GUILTY IF
 MURDER
Minneapolis Business Man Is Convicted in First Degree. Sentence Postponed Until Wednesday.
CASE HAS ATTRACTED
 WIDE ATTENTION
Woman Who was Murdered Scion of Prominent and Wealthy Minnesota Family.
 Farmer Tn Crime Confessee.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15.-Frederick Price, the business man, who was con victed of the murder of his wife Mary. a member of wealthy Minnesota fam fly. was granted stay of sentence until Wednesday, when the court will hear arguments for a new trial.
 The trial of Frederick T. Price on a charge of murdering his wife. Mary Fridley Price, began in the district court here on January f. The prosecu- ton charged that on the night of No vember 2S. 1914. Price. accompanied by his wife and Charles D. Etchison. travelling salesman of Washington, D. C., drove to a point along the East River road where he brought his auto mobile to halt and, seizing his wife, hurled her from high cliff.
 It was further charged that Price. who was local business man, went to the foot of the cliff and finding his wife still alive. struck her upon the head with a rock. The state charged that the alleged act was committed for the purpose of inheriting large sum of money given Mrs. Price by her father, David H. Fridley. wealthy pioneer after whom the town of Frid- ley, Minn., is named.
 Etchison. chief witness for tbe pro secution, repeated on the witness stand the substance of a confession he made early in December after his arrest in connection with the woman's death. He testified that Price prom ised to cancel a note of S1.200 and in addition pay him $3,5OO if he would accompany Price to the cliff and then remain silent regarding the affair.
 On March 22. last. Price filed suit for $7,5O0 damages against the city, charg ing negligence in failing to provide a fence as a guard at the edge of the cliff, over which he said his wife fell to her death while pursuing a pet dog.
 When the case came up for hearing on October 29, the question of the le gality of Prices marriage was raised. counsel for the city contending that he had failed to divorce his first wife and therefore was not legally welded to Mary, Fridley.
 Three days later Price withdrew the damage suit. A warrant then was is sued charging him with bigamy and on November F he was taken into custody He pleaded not guilty.
 An indictment charging first degree murder was returned by the grand ju- " December 1 and Price again was arrested On the same day a first de- gree murder indictment was returned against Etchison who was almost i'm mediately arrested in Washington, D. C., and returned to Minneapolis. It was while on his way to this city that Etchison made the statement to the assistant county prosecutor charging Price with the crime.
 After the death of Mary Fridley Price. his third wife. Price married Miss Carrie Olson of Minneapolis.
 Because of the prominence of the Fridley family and the social connec- tions of Mary Fridley Price the case attracted wide attention.
