German Editor Ayers
Col Roosevelt Lied
CBy the Sun News servfce0

Chicago, May 2I.-That Col.
Roosevelt lied in his attack on
the Illinois Stats Zeitung in
his Detroit speech, is the sub
stance OF a letter sent out to-
day by Horace L. Brand, the
papers editor.
Roosevelt" Mr.. Brand says,
as reported to have said. The
Illinois Stats Zettung backs
the movement Of the extreme
pacifsts to keep the United
States impotent for self-de-
fense.'
That is a falsehood. The
Stats Zeitung backs the peace
patriots movement for peace
or war as our interest, guided
by justice, shall counsel
"If Roosevelt misrepresented
the attitude of the Illinois
Stats Zeitung because of his
ignorance then the falsehood
is none the less palpable."

QUOTED BY A SUPPORTER
Statement Made When Asked
to Authorize Campaign
In His Behalf.
FIRST WORDS ON CANDIDACY"
Friends Declare Noted Republican Is
Perfectly Sincere and Content
to Remain on B ench.

The first statement by Associate Jus
tice Charles E. Hughes. Of the United
States Supreme Court, on the Repubu-
can nomination for President, was OBJ
tained yesterday. He was quoted by a
leader in the Republican party favorable
to the pre-convention campaign for his
nomination.
Justice Hughes said:
ain my opinion, Roosevelt is going
to be nominated, so II makes it un-
necessary to discuss any one else ut
sII.n
Great pressure had been brought TO
bear upon Justice Hughes to authorize
campaign IN his behalf That was his
reply.
VIII Not Seek Nomination.
Tustce Hughes statement was inter
rrsted BY his supporters to mean that he
has made up his mind he will not connivs
at getting the nomination, so that II he
should be named he may be able to say
that while on the supreme bench he never
By word or deed sought the honor.
HIS friends declare he will not be dis
appointed II he is not nominated, that he
Is perfectly sincere and content to re-
main on the bench. His closest friends,
those most anxious TO know his real at
t1tude toward the nomination, assert that
they are wholly without guidance or sug-
gestion from him
They believe. however, that Justice
Hughes will be controlled by the pres
encs or lack Of unanimity Of spirit at
the Chicago convention. They believe
he would refuse the nomination II it
should come to him after a bitter
fight.
Hitchcock in Town.
Frank Hitchcock, former Postmas-
ter General. has been in Washington
for three days in the interest of the
movement for Hughes. He saw the
justice, but was unable to Induce him
TO consent to the use Of his name. Mr..
Hitchcock left for Chicago last night
to open a Hughes headquarters there.
He spent yesterday morning with Sem
ator Borah. of Idaho, who will be
prominent at the Republican conven-
tion. Senator Borah IS known not to
have committed himself for either
Roosevelt or Hughes. but would sup
port either. He believes Roosevelt
and Hughes are the only men in the
race and that the convention will name
one or the other

HAMPERS OWN DEFENSE

AMAZES CRIMINOLOGY EXPERTS
Mrs. Margaret Weaver Horton. Dem
lists "Soulmate" and Art Affinity"
to Be Witness for State.
CBy the Sun New. service1

New York, May 21.-The attitude of Dr.
Arthur Warren Waite amazes experts in
criminology. The dentist, who will be
called to trial tomorrow morning for the
murder by poison OF his father-in-law.
John F. Peck, OF Grand Rapids, Mich.
seems overJoyed with the ordeal await
ing him. Today he was in as good spirits
as II he had come into money or was
to take a wife.
Instead of cooperating with his law
yer, Walter R. Deuel., Waite has ham
pered and opposed him at every turn
Taking the latitude allowable to counsel,
Deuel. has painted waite's case as white
as possible. denying and palliating and
excusing. Waite has blackened it heav-
lily, confessing. even exaggerating. Deuel.
pleads that Waite is crazy. Waite de-
clares that he is sane now. and was sane
when he poisoned his mother-in-law and
his father-in-law. Deuel. says Waite
doesn't know what he is talking about
Waite asserts that he knows better than
any man-that his main idea is to get
out OF the world as quickly and thor
oughly as possible so as to win complete
expiation.
Case without Parallel,
The case has no parallel in the recollec-
ton OF court attaches, or in the records
Of the district attorneys office. No one
can recall that man or woman charged
with murder has so deliberately tried to
wreck a defensive case. In the opinion
Of District Attorney Swami, Waite's at
dtude is interesting psychologicaly. but
not important as bearing upon the dis
position OF the case. Fortified by more
than 100 witnesses, or dispositions, evil
dence gathered in Grand Rapids and in
this city, and by the determinations of
alienists that Waite is entirely sane, the
district attorney will ask that the full
penalty be meted out
He will present a case which in his
opinion has no weak link and Is utterly
conclusive of guilt. In opposition. ap-
parently to Waite's own wishes, the de-
fense will be "compulsive" insanity-the
mental twist which compels one to COM
init crime while maintaining an ap-
pearance Of sanity before the world
Little Delay Expected.
The trial will commence at 10 a. IN. to-
morrow in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court with Justice Clarence ].
Shearn on the bench. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Brothers will present the
States case, assisted by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney DoolnS. Walter R. Deuel.
will defend the dentist. 1t is expected
that a jury will be quickly obtained.
that the box will be filled by Tuesday
evening. Thereupon Mr.. Brothers will
outline the case the State expects to
prove.
Waites father and mother and two
brothers have been doing what was pos
sible in his interests, and will be in court
to give him their support. Mrs Mar
garet Weaver Horton, Waite's soul
rate" and art affinity" will be a
witness for the State. Other witnesses
will be Miss Ellen Peck, DR.. Jacob Cor
nell, and the druggist from whom Waite
obtained arsenic.

VILLA ONCE AGAIN
IN CHIHUAHUA CITY
(By United Press)

Ell Paso, Nov. 29.-Carranzista Of
ficials now admit that Villa captured
Chihuahua City Monday. The defend
ers, in two bands, are fleeing. Con-
Trajectory reports regarding the fate
of foreigners are worrying the Amer
lean officials. Villa, apparently know
ing Trevino's inadequate supply of
ammunition, stormed the city after
the cannon became silent. He rushed
de city and scattered the defenders
after a hand-to-hand fight. General
Trevino fled southwark with 700 cav
alrymen. General Ozuna, with 100
cavalrymen, fled north. 1t is report
ei that General Murgia was forced
to halt because the Indian troops re-
fused to fight Villa. 1t is not be-
lieved that Villa will attempt to hold
tie city, as he has little artillery.
Six Americans were in Chihuahua City
when the attack began.
Ell Paso, Nov. 29.-The Villistas

A battle, in which is said to have
figured razor and bottle of whis-
Ky, almost ended in the death of c..
l.. Rolls, foreman Of the Woods ranch,
and landed Tom Jackson, ranch en-
ploye, in the county Jail on charge
of attempted murder. The prelimi-
nary hearing was held this morning
before Justice of the Peace l. May
field, bail being fixed at $4,000.
While employed on the Woods ranch
last week jackson is said to have re-
qrested his time from Rolls, the lat
Ter informing him, according to tes-
timony given this morning, that upon
the return of Mr.. Woods the check
would be forthcoming. Apparently
this reply satisfied Jackson, but upon
returning later, it is said, he became
enraged because Woods had not shown
Up and began cursing the foreman.
Rolls is said to have objected to
the use of epithets being applied to
HIM and in an attempt to bring about
peace Jackson is alleged to have at
tackled him with razor, cutting a
long cash on the top Of the head
and slashing the under part of the
right arm.
Deputies Barker and Mccormick
were called to the scene and discov-
eled Jackson asleep not far from the
spot where the cutting was done. In

Popular ladies in all parts of the
Valley are being urged by their
friends to enter The Press contest at
once and make determined effort
to secure one of the handsome prizes
offered. Several have already called
at The Press office in person, while
others have been nominated by friends
who would like to see them win and
have already applied for blank forms
in order to get started without de-
lay.
Candidates with large circle Of
friends and acquaintances in the Val
ley are in an especially fortunate po-
sition, for friends take an interest IN
the campaign when they see that the
candidate they are most anxious to
have win is making serious effort
herself and is doing well. They may
rot take any active part in the cam
paign at first, leaving it to contest
ant to "break the ice," but when a
friend shows she has the ambition, en-
thusiasm and determination to get
started herself and make good show
ing, they soon rally to her support, and
not only subscribe, but do a lot of
very valuable boosting.
Start Early.
An early start is half the victory
