and ill-defended wealth of the new
world loom larger on the horizon of
their desires. Then will come the
pressure of competition backed by
iorce. Then must be determined
whether the Monroe Doctrine has be-
hlnd 1t the sincerity and courage of a
great nation or is to be surrendered
as an idle boast"
Mr.. Root then reviewed the sinking
of the Lusitania and American ships
by German submarines. He went on:
Immediately upon the shock of the
Lusitania horror, while all the world
waited, expectant, for the govern. mt
of this great country to make good it's
words by action, we were told and the
world was told that America was too
proud to fight, and nothing was done,
and nothing has ever been done. No
one has been held to accountability.
What kind of respect for the effec-
tive use and direction of our power
will our competitors and rivals among
the nations have, and what kind of
safety for such a use and direction will
we have If we return to office an ad-
ministration which nearly two years
after it's inauguration was so densely
and confidently ignorant of the condi-
tions of the military and naval service
of our country and whose foresight of
the world conditions required a year
and a quarter to mature?
why is ii that our whole available
regular army and q large part of the
National Guard, many of them or
dered away from their homes and
their business to their great incon-
venience and distress to meet an un-
expected emergency, are now engaged
in defending the States of Texas and
New Mexico against Mexican attacks? :?
These conditions are the result of
three years and a half of Mr.. Wilson S
Mexican policy. They are the result
of Mr. Wilson'S interference in the in
ternal affairs of Mexico. The men
against whom our Secretary of State
complained so bitterly are the men
whom President Wilson put into con-
troll in Mexico by using the power of
the United States to turn Huerta out
and make their revolutionary move
ment successful"
The speaker reviewed the efforts of
the President to oust Huerta and eX-
pose the farce at Vera Cruz. He
continued:
There is another grave matter
which should influence the selection
of a new government. That is the sur
render of the President and Congress
to the peremptory demand of the four
railroad hrotherhoods for the increase
of their V ges by a law passed under
threats"

Elko Wool Clip Brings Top Price

Elko Free Press: That it pays to
handle pure bred sheep has been
brought very forcibly to the atten-
tion of the public by the sale of Joe
Heenen's clip of wool for which he
received 20 cents per pound. The
clip amounted to 5000 pounds and
came from small band of sheep.
He has been making a speciality of
thoroughbred sheep and where the
ordinary wool brought around 20
cents he received nearly a so per
cent increase. The wool is of an ex-
cellent grade, long staple and the
sheep costs no more to raise than the
ordinary kind.

MURDER PLOT IS Barred
Mrs. Connell Tells of Plans to
Secure Fortune of Her
Wealthy Husband

Elko, June Mrs. Ella Connell.
confessed attempted poisoner of her
husband, Mike Connell, who has i'm
plicated a number of prominent Elko
people in the case. laid bare sensa-
tional phases to the attempt to slay
the wealthy rancher for his money in
testimony given here to-day before
Justice of the Peace Clark in the pre-
liminary hearing of Constable H. U.
McMurtrey. McMurtrey is charged
with being an accomplice of Mrs.
Connell.
Discussed Murder of Husband
The woman, who must spend at
least five years in the penitentiary
for her crime, testified that she met
McMurtrey by appointment at sever
al places when the death of her hus-
band was under consideration and
they planned together to make Con-
nell marry her or put up large sum
of money.
Later she discussed with McMuI-
trey, she said, plans to poison her
husband. She testified that McMur-
trey suggested she use cyanide OF
potassium but she objected to this as
death would be too quick and she de-
sired poison that would work slow
ly. She said he'and McMurtrey es-
timated that Connell was worth $685.
600. McMurtrey demanded one half
of this amount if their plans carried,
saying he would take care of j. M.
Taber out of his share. Taber has
been held to answer to the grand
jury for completely in the poisoning.
Forced To Marry Woman
To further their plans, the witness
stated, McMurtrey caught her and
Connell in a compromising position
at night and the defendant forced
Connell to marry the woman at 10
o'clock the same night Connell was
induced to make a will Immediately
following the wedding in favor of
his wife.
The case is being acrimoniously
conducted, the defense strongly OBJ
jecting. throughout the examination
of witnesses. AT one stage the lie
was passed when the defense accused
Sanders of asking leading questions.
The prosecution is relying on Carl
Gilberg. son-in-law of Mrs. Connell
for corroborative testimony.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR

Albert Ii. Howe, whose candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
the United States Senate has been
formally announced, was born in
Brooklyn, New York, in 1872. He
was thrown upon his own resources
at an early age, and in modern busi-
ness parlance he made good from
the start. At the age of Ia he en-
tered the service of the United States
Express Company as an office boy and
at the age of II he was private secre-
tary to the president Of one of the
big transportation companies of the
world.
When a few years later the direc-
tors of the company created the po-
sition of Assistant to the President,
Mr.. Howe was asked to accept this
office. While in this position he was
responsible in large way for the
establishment and development of
the foreign department of the COM
pany and made several trips to Eu-
rope to promote this branch of the
company's business.
When the late Senator Platt. of
New York. went to the United States
Senate Mr.. Howe, then %, accom-
panied him as his pirate secretary.
He was associated with the work of
the Senate in numerous and import
ant ways until 1907, when the late
Senator George S. Nixon, whose ac-
quaintance he had formed, asked
him to come to Nevada. His first
Nevada home was in Reno, where he
was associated for time with Sena-
tor Nixon's banking interests. He
was also a factor in the organization
of the Nevada Bankers Association
and was one of its first officers.
In December, 1908, Mr.. Howe left
Reno for Goldfield, to become Sec
retary of the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines Company. the biggest gold
mine, from the standpoint of pro-
duction. on the continent. The du-
ties of treasurer and of director were
later added to his responsibilities,
which he continues to. discharge.
Mr.. Howe is also vice-president and
general manager of the John S. Cook
& Company bank in Goldield.
Mr.. Howe, since he began his
career as an office boy. has been as
sociated with business undertakings
of large scope. and his present can
didacy was based upon the expressed
belief of a large element Of the pop
ulation of the State, in all walks of
life, that a man of business training
and experience can be of exceptional
value and service to the State of
Washington, and especially when
this business training is supplement-
ed by experience in that particular
legislative body to which his candi-
dacy relates.
Mr.. Howe was married in 1893 and,
with his family, lives in Goldfield.

M'MURTREY IS BOUND OVER
Must Answer Charge of Completely in Fa
nous Elko Attempted Poisoning

Elko, Nevada, June 10.-A new
sensation was sprung to-day in the
Connell poisoning case, which has
been agitating Elko people for some
weeks, when Justice Clark cited
George b. Russell, editor of the Elko
Independent. into court, read the In
dependents account of j. M. Taber's
preliminary hearing last Friday and
held the article to be in contempt, inn
posing a sentence of thirty days in
Jail and fine of 500 on the editor.
Judge Exceeds Power
Attorneys in the case contended
that Justice Clark was exceeding his
power, stating that the law entitled
the defendant to jury trial and fixed
maximum penalty of only one day
in Jail. Russell told the court he had
intended no reflection on the honor
and integrity of the court and the
court suspended sentence and remit
ted the fine.
At the conclusion of the taking of
testimony in the case of Constable h.
u. McMurtrey, who is charged with
completely in the attempted poison
ing of Mike Connell, the defendant
was held to the district court. Nc
Murtrey called a number of witness
es in his behalf, among them being
Judge B. F. Curler. Clerk Herbert
Sproule, who issued the marriage IL
cense for Mr.. and Mrs. Connell. and
druggists Dupont. Mcfarland. S. c.
Shirley and N. P. Nelson as character
witnesses and to give corroborative
evidence.
Castle Case Dismissed
At the conclusion of the McMur-
trey hearing, Justice of the Peace H.
u. Castle was arraigned and an agree
ment was reached to submit in this
case the evidence adduced in the
Taber and McMurtrey hearings.
However, nothing further was
done, as Mrs. Connell stated Castle
was not connected with any plot to
kill her husband and the case was
dismissed.
The actions against Taber and Nc
Murtrey will be filed in the district
court and not with the grand jury.
and may come up for trial within the
next ten days.
Bishop to Be Called
Joe Bishop, alleged paramour of
Mrs. Connell, and serving time in the
penitentiary for his confessed part
in the poisoning. will be brought here
to testify. as also will Mrs. Massey,
Connell's nurse, who is in Ogden.
