People BelieYe in Reed.

Stuart F. Reed is o native son OF
West Virginia who has made his way
upward in spite OF early difficulties
and meager opportunities to an hon
ored position among the scholars and
statesmen Of his day, says the Webster
Republican.
His career has been brilliant as we'll
as useful to the people OF the state. He
has stood for the best and has ever
been the champion Of the average man.
Whether at work back on the farm or
teaching country school. whether
In the state senate or presiding over
department of state his work has al.
ways borne the stamp of his talented
personality.
He was born and reared among tho
West Virginia hills. far from railroads
ana towns. among the plain. honest,
common people, and no honors that
have come to him have ever spoiled
him In the least or chilled the watmth.
OF the greeting or the sincerity Of tho
hand-clasp he offers to the poorest
and humblest citizen In the land. The
man with the hickory shirt and the
brogan shoes knows that Stuart Reeds
Office door swings as wide its welcome
to him as 1t does to the statesman or
millionaire. !
The people believe in him, admire
him. and vote for him when they get
chance. In 1912 his total vote in the
state 132.513) was the largest cast
for a state official. In the eleven
counties of the new Third congress
sional district Mr.. Reeds majority in
these eleven counties was 2,007 great
or than the congressional majority. In
Harrison. his home county, he ran 333s
ahead OF the Republican congressman.
These unmistakable evidences of his
popularity. together with his scholarly
attainments. his superior fitness and
his high character. account for his
strength as candidate and the wide
spread sentiment that his nomination
for Congress will strengthen the Re-
publican ticket in every county of the
district.

Not q Legacy from Taft"

wv u beSACy ITOtu luIt,
Ex-Secretary Knox's Pittsburg
speech ought, to be read by every one
who still cherishes the delusion that
the Mexican muddle was inherited
by President Wilson from the Taft
administration, and the further mis-
conception that Huerta gained the
presidency of Mexico as consequence
of the assassination of Madero. says
the Philadelphia Ledger. In that alb
solutely lucid and convincing expo
sition of the fact concerning Mexico
Mr.. Knox speaks from first-hand in
formation. for his tenure at that state
department was unbroken through
out President Taft's entire term Of
Office. He makes 1t clear why rec
ognition" was not extended to Huerta.
the time which elapsed between
Huerta's succession and the termina-
ton Of Taft's, term having been only
twelve days-much too short per-
Tod in which to dispose OF the dip
lomatic preliminaries and to ascertain
whether Huerta's government pos
sessed the necessary ability to main
tain itself and fulfil International OBJ
legations.
It Is thus made plain that Presi-
dent Wilson Is alone responsible for
the change in American policy. the
fruits of which have been indescriba-
BILE anarchy, the sacrifice OF Ameri-
can lives and an untold waste Of
blood and treasure. This cannot be
shifted or even shared with others,
and whatever the outcome of the
present ticklish state OF our rela-
tions with Mexico. the American peo-
pie will look to Wilson alone for an
accounting.

TRYING TO FASTEN
CRIME ON THOMPSON
Principal Evidence Is That No
Clues Are Found ImpECat-
ing Anyone Else

Portland, Ore, May 24-Unable to
find clue which points to anybody
else, detectives today began weaving
their eireumstantial evidence about
Bennett Thompson, held in Jail al
HillsbOro in connection with the brutal
murder of Mrs. Helen G. Jennings, 10
days ago.
The search for the body of Fred Rise
man, the jitneur who drove the sup.
posed murderer to Mrs. jennings home,
was resumed today.
A jitney driver yesterday pointed to
Thompson in a group of other prisoners
and said he was "morally certain"
that Thompson was the man who rode
away with Ristman Monday night, May
10. Another jitney driver who saw
RBtman's passenger was not SO posi-
tive in his identification.
Another bit of evidence against
Thompson is the finding of an under.
shirt on his clothes line with some in
distinct stains on it. The stains re-
sponded to crude blood test. but a
more exacting chemical test left some
doubt whether the stains were blood.
Detectives declare these stains cor
respond in size and position to blood
stains found on torn shirt near the
scene of the crime. They are unable
to explain the fact that the torn and
bloody shirt is two sizes too small for
Thompson, however.

Eighty thousand Germans were sent crashing into the

GERMANS WILL HAVE

Arrange to Run Submarines

Atlantic submarine service between
Hamburg and New York will be started
next month, the Evening Mail asserted
today, claiming to have learned it on
good authority.
The first submarine will reach New
York about July l, according to the re.
port. The Mail said she would be
armed for defense only and would car
ry mails, parcels and perhaps Few
passengers. The trip is to be made in
ten days.
By August the Mail said, Germany
expected to have five of these sub
marines working On regular schedules.
They will voyage North of Scotland or
through the English channel, according
to conditions at sea and enter New
York via LOnk Island sound, taking ad-
vantage of the three mile limit.

Market Inactive and
/. Shows Little Change

New York, May 24.-The New York
Evening Sun s financial review today
said:
The market lost none Of lbs profess
sionaI character today. On the con
trary that quality was accentuated by
bear selling on one hand, and offset by
pool and clique buying for an advance
on tho other. The result of this con-
fliet of speculative endeavor was
movement Of marked irregularity.
It generally may be said to have been
heavy. A reactionary tone pfeeailsd
among standard railroads during a
greater part of the session, while
specialties, including motor war stocks,
we're as a rule strong and higher.
Failure of any definite explanation
for the recent advance Reading, coupled
with a growing belief that the move,
ment had little basis more substantial
than a professional maneuver, together
with a sharp early reaction in that is-
me. had much to do with the uncertain
ty in railroads.
Standard issues aside from Reading,
which was heavily sold and dee'ined
about five points from its previous
close. fell back into the rut OF in-
activity.
Pool and clique operations were more
clearly defined on the first Mexican IS
sues and the motors which bid up r.
regular and uncertain movements tea,
tuTed later dealings, but the general
market was little changed.

today by Mrs. Margaret st. German,

Three days after she began work a

missing Nelms sisters The likeness
was so striking between Nellie and
picture of Mrs. Dennis, that 1 called
Mrs. F. A. Lacy, then of the Seattle
Employment Agency on the teleplG .
@ Mrs. Lacy had procured Nellie for
the position in the bakery. She said she
too, had noticed the resemblance and
called my attention to another fact that
clinched my belief
"She told me Nellie had a sister
named Beatrice who was then working
in a Third avenue restaurant. The pic
ture Of Beatrice Nelps, she said, resem-
bled Nellie's s sister even more than
the picture of Mrs. Dennis resembled
Nellie.n
Mrs. st. Germain reported the mat.
ter to the detective department. she
said, but no effort to ascertain wheth.
er the sisters were really the missing
women, was made.
When Mrs st. Germain remarked to
Nellie that she looked like the picture
Of Mrs. Dennis, the young woman, who
nswered closely the description of the
missing girl, Nellie is said to have re-
piled: ~ have heard enough of that

Washington, May 24-It is not ex-
pected here that the new note from
Provisional President Carranza, in
transit today by messenger, viii make
flat demands for withdrawal of Amer
lean troops from Mexico but it is ex-
pected to contain urgent suggestions
that such withdrawal is expected. It
is likely to show resentment at the dis
patch Of second American expedition
across the border
Carranza is expected to urge that The
United States troops are not needed any
longer as he has raised large army
FOR patrol duty. If he can convince
th6\ war department. that this is true,
the withdrawal will probably be auto
matte.
SO far the department is not con.
vineed. Carranza is believed so friend
ly that he will not press demands which
might become troublesome.
No request for financial aid has been
received from Mexico. The American
government is unable to make loans d.
Itetly, although it might stand sponsor
for other loans.

Paris, May 24.-German troops have
penetrated the village of Cumicres, nine
miles northwest of Verdun, after Sc.
ries of terrific onslaughts against the
French front west of the river Meuse,
the war office admitted today. The
Germans also succeeded in taking a
trench west OF Cumieres and gaining
footholds in few sections of trenches
east Of Fort Douaumont. At all other
points their most violent attacks on
both banks of the river and also in the
Champagne region were defeated.
The Germans since Sunday, recited
the cOmmunique, have been attacking
the northwestern front of Verdun with
10000 men. Throughout last night the
battle was waged furiously. Both banks
of the Meuse were assaulted but
French troops stubbornly resisted, in
fieting enormous losses on the enemy.
Hand to hand fighting preceded Ger.
man capture of Cumieres village. On
the Meuse east bank Germans, after ex-
tensive artillery preparations, launched
repeated charges against the Haudro.

East of Fort Douaumont despite a
deadly fire from machine guns, few
German detaehments streamed through
the French bullets and reached their
objective positions West of the fort
