FranciscoMurder Was
CHASTITY One.

Seattle, Wash, March 1s.-James

Marlano has been a frequent visitor
to the city and county jail since the
arrest of the Boozers, and Detective
Bianchi became curious to learn what
interest Marlapo had in the couple. In

the Boozers, officers say they learned
that the woman and Peitro Torturtci
had been companions in St Louis and
Kansas City and that ToFturici was
wanted for the San Francisco murder.
The description forwarded f1tted Nor
lano so closely that he was arrested,
officers said.
The murder of b. Velardo, a youth
of 20, was a ghastly one. He had been

CAMPAIGN UNDER
WAYFOR WILSON;
BRYAN IS IN LINE
Nebraska Will Support the
President for Reelection
-"Peace, Prosperity and
Preparedness, Slogan.

Washington, March 1s.-with the
national conventions only few months
away work for the reelection OF Pres
ident Wilson is on In full swing.
Reams of campaign matter are being
compiled at national headquarters.
Activity is much greater than at the
Republican headquarters and is ex-
pected TO continue so until after the
Chicago convention names the Re-
publican candidate.
Work for Wilson is proceeding on
the theory that he will be unopposed in
his own party. Bryan's recent an
nouncement through Chairman Thomp-
son Of the Nebraska state committee
that he will be found for Wilson at
the convention ended all doubt in the
minds Of other leaders.
The Democratic leaders have already
picked a slogan. It is: Wilson stands
for peace, prosperity and prepared
ness
"Americanism" Is the probable re-
sponse from the opposition Republi-
can and Progressive. Talks with
leaders make clear their intention to
hammer Wilson's foreign policies hard
in their belief that the president has
not lived up to best american tradi-
ton in his handling Of foreign rela-
tions. They win take much OF their
campaign material no matter who their
candidate is, they say, from speeches
Of Democratic senators and represen-
tatives in opposition to Wilson's for
eign policies.
President to Take Stump.
Wilson will be seen on the stump to
some extent, there Is reason TO believe.
Notwithstanding the plan announced
earlier whereby he contemplates re-
naming most Of the summer at Long
branch, n. ]. lie is expected to visit
certain states, not visited since he was
elected.
Democratic politicians Of the admin
istration are giving considerable
thought TO the part Roosevelt is likely
to play. Whatever direction it takes,
they say it win be important They
agree he will be IN the campaign, up
ia his hat, whether or not he is can
didate.
I'VE know he won't be on the side
lines said one of them today. They
give his strenuous utterances on the
subject much of the candidate for for
condensing the battle cry Of their OPP
ponent into the word "AmerIeanism."
