WILSON TREND IN MAINE HAS
 BEEN GROWING
E. D. Roosevelt and Repre- sentative Allen So Report
 to Chairman.

New York, Aug. 5--Returning from weeks trip in Eastern Maine, Frank lin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, reported yesterday to Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, that he had discovered nothing for the Democrats to be alarmed about in that state this year. He said he found distinct trend to President Wilson among the people there gen. erally and especially among Republi- cans. Representative Alfred G. AL len of Cincinnati, Ohio, also back from short trip through Maine, also brought encouraging reports.
 While I was in Maine," said As- sistant Secretary Roosevelt, the Hughes speech of acceptance was pub- lished and I made particular efforts to find out how the Republicans and Progressives felt about it. 1 was greatly surprised at the number who felt that the speech was wholly incon- elusive who had hoped for a definite statement along constructive lines but felt that they had received nothing but clever words which could be con strued into almost any line of policy at the desire of the constructor.
 "A large number of the men whom I talked with-factory hands, mechan- ics, and store keepers-were regular Republicans who had never voted for a Democrat. These men did not wish to announce publicly that they would vote for Wilson, but told me that this was their present intention.
 Representative Allen said that con- ditions were very satisfactory for the Demo ~~atic ticket in Maine; that ev- cry man with whom he had talked in- formed him of the growing strength of President Wilson's candidacy, es- pecially since MT. Hughes speech of acceptance.
 Representative Allen said he had been in Ohio for two weeks recently and he gave it as his conviction that that Senator Pomerone would be re- nominated for the Senate, and ex-Gov- ernor Cox again head the state ticket. He said he was confident that both would be reelected.

 OF ASSASSINATION PLOT

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug. 5- It has developed that the attempt made to assassinate President de la Plaza, while he was reviewing the centenary celebration from the bal cony of the Government House on July 2. as reported b cable, had root in the presidents recent refusal to commute the sentence of two men condemned to death for murder. The assassin, Juan Mandrini, who is be- lievsd to be of unsound mind, declares that he believed the execution of the two men was "a legal crime" which he felt called upon to avense. They were the first executions in the Ar genuine for more than Is years, and with this execution President de la Plaza had himself refused to- sign death sentences, but he refused to in- terfere in these two cases because he deemed the murder wilful one.
 The execution has already prompt cd opponents to capital punishment to introduce in Congress bill to abolish capital punishment altogether
 The attempt to kill the President. on the eve of his retirement in favor of the newly elected Radical candf- date, pr. 1rigoyer, created a great sensation in the capital.

On a balcony overlooking these stands ap- peared the President with the Bra xilian ambassador, pr. Barbosa, on htsr ight and the Bolivian ambassa- dor. pr. villaxon, on his left, with various ministers of state also in the party. Suddenly . man standing on tho pavement below drew revolver and fired, shouting, Down with the autocrat!" Tho bullet struck the wall just behind the President.
 He paled for moment. then calmly remarked "The man has only fired blank cartridge" In the meantime people in the streets fell upon the as- assin and tried to lynch him, but sol- diers rescued him and carried him off to prison. S

BERRY men MAY JOIN
PUYALLUP In MARKETING

If the express company can ar
range 10 transport cars of Lynden
berries to Bcllingham the same
night they are filled, it is alto
gether likely that local growers
will combine with the Paulhamus
interests in marketing fresh berries
this season.
B. F. Smith, representing the
fruit-growels, has corresponded
with H. S. Palmer, who is acting
for the Puyallup association. and
finds them willing to cooperate
with Lynden. Mr.. Palmer is now
taking up the question of fast serv-
.ce with the exEress company.
All the Puyallup berries are
sold by a single agency. The price
received for all cars shipped each
week is pooled, and all the ship
pers receive thei- share of the pool,
so that in case a single car spoils, OF
is sold at a low price, the loss
does not all on few growers.
The Lynden cars will be handled
with Puyallup cars under this sys-
TEN.
