New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-07-05

MARY PAGE, an actress, is
accused Of the murder OF
James Pollock. and is defended
by her lover Philip Langdon.
Pollock has been pursuing Mary
for many months endeavoring to
win her love and her hand in
marriage, but his attentions have
been very unwelcome to her.
Knowing her stage aspirations,
he has, unknown to her, financed
her starring tour under the man
agement Of Daniels.
On the night Of the murder,
Mary leaves the banquet hall in
the Hotel Republic and enters
the Gray Room alone expecting
to meet Langdon. She has been
lured there by Pollock. who has
been drinking. ...
A few moments later q shot Is
heard and Langdon and others,
upon entering the Gray Room
find James Pollock shot through
the heart and Mary Page lying
in a faint beside him with Pol
locks revolver not six inches
from the ends Of her fingers.
At Mary's trial she admits she
had the revolver. Pollock had

There Is evidence that Daniels.
Mary's manager, threatened Pol
lock. Mary fa1nts on the stand
and again goes insane when
policeman offers her whisky.
Daniels testifies that Pollock
threatened to kill Mary and
Langdon and actually attempted
to kill Langdon.
Two witnesses describe Mary's
flight to the street from the ho-
tel and her abduction by men
from gambling place near by.
Further evidence seems to in
criminate Daniels.
Maggie Hale, inmHte of gam
bling den. testifes that she was
at the hotel and heard two men
quarreling in the Gray Room a
short time before the murder.
Her evidence seems to increase
suspicion against Daniels.
Daniels privately informs Lang
don that Mary Page did not kill
Pollock and that if Mary is TN

chair he will tell all he knows OF
the case.

so far been made indicate that thu

Of determination against all wht
dare to oppose Colonel Roosevelt.
A feature of the Roosevelt fight
in Tennessee, which is Of special in
terest to Tennesseans, as the ap
preaching contest for national com
mitteeman. 1t is now plain to ev
cry obseryant man that an effor1
will be made to displace Senator
Sanders and substitute on the ma.
tional republican committee Con
gresham Sam r. Sells. Nothing
could be more obvious than this
since Sslls' visit to Oyster Bay that
the treatment Senator Sanders re-
ceived at the hands Of the republi-
can convention Of Hamilton coun-
ty.
1t is assumed, however, that Sem
ator Sanders will not surrender,
without a struggle, to those who
would destroy him. His friends
here hope and believe that he will
contest every inch Of the ground,
and that ifhe is to be sacrificed on
the altar Of Roosevelt's unbounded
ambition he will go down with fly
ing colors sustained by the firm
conviction that he has served faith
fully and long the republican party
Of the state and nation.
The Roosevelt followers, by their
attitude in Tennessee, indicate that
they intend to make a fight tie send
Roosevelt delegates uninstructed to
the national convention. This is
evident from the movement that
are now being made. 1t is clear
that the Roosevelt followers in Ten
nessee are carrying on a pussy

throne in any event, It is being

vention to be for Roosevelt in the

Of the nomination of someone else.
There are many democrats and
old-line republicans who share the
the firm belief Of the bull moose
crowd that Roosevelt is running !
away with the republican nominal
ton for the presidency, and predic-
ton is freely made that unless the
tide should turn the rough rider
will lead the republican cohorts in

zEPPEL|NS THE
 EYES IF FLEET
[Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 LONDON, June 3.-The Daily Ex- press says:
 Undoubtedly Zeppelins aided the German main fleet to return to port. These monsters of the air have shown themselves of small military value in raids over the British counties. Their real function, however. is to play the part of the eyes of the fleet, and the withdrawal of the German ships before the British giants could deliver ef- fective blows suggests that they were the seeing eyes.
 If our losses were three times as great and the enemy had not lost a ship the superiority would still be ours. The whole thing is an unfor- tunate incident and nothing more. We deeply deplore the loss of so many gallant sailors but we must accept the episode as the fortune of war. And we may well be thankful that it can nave no sort of effect on the final issue.
 The British fleet will continue to hold the seas and we shall retain the power to persist in the blockade of the enemy's ports. We have the power, indeed, considerably to tighten that blockade, and the best reply to any German boasting concerning Wednes- day nights battle would be to give an additional twist to the navys strangle- hold on Germany's overseas commerce.

LONDON, June 3-A plea for American mediation on the ground that the entente allies can hardly win the war without American help is made in the current issue of r"The Nation" by Henry w. Massingham.
 Were We ever a quick minded peo- ple?' asks the editor, "Or do all na- tions lose political sense in time of war?

 'I mourn the loss of the brave men, many of them personal friends of my own, who have fallen in their coun- try's cause. Yet even more do I re- gret that the German high seas fleet in spite of it's heavy losses was en- abled by misty weather to evade the full consequences of the encounter.
 They always professed a desire for which when the opportunity arrived they showed no inclination. Though the retirement of the enemy immedi- ately after the opening of a genera engagement robbed us of the oppor- tunity of gaining a decisive victory the events of last Wednesday amply justify my confidence in the valor ant efficiency of the fleet under youl command"
