Preparing Answer to Charges of II- legality at Convention. ‘Washington, July 17—The detailed answer which President Taft's ad- visers will make to charges that his momination at Chicago was procured | in illegal fashion was one of the first subjects that greeted Carmi A. Thompson, of Ohio, when hestoday as- eumed the position of secretary to the Thompson _discussed the answer with former United States Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio, who had charge of the Taft contests be- fore the republican national commit- tee at Chicago. The statement reviews every contest and is longer than any presidential message. At the conclu- elon of today’s conference, however, it was said that a comprehensive ab- stract would be drafted. It is the idea of the republican lead- ers to arm Taft speakers with all the facts in every contest in every state they visit. The abstract probably will be made public through the news- papers and the full answer will be thly published in pamphlet form. r. Thompson took up his White House work early today. He was at his desk at which three other men be- fore him have sat during Mr. Taft's administration ,before some of the clegks were in the White House of- fic He disposed of business in fashion that kept callers doing a quickstep through h ABANDONS TRIP. o, Col.

Colonel Roosevelt would add noth- ing to Mr. Davis' statement. He said earlier in the day that he was hard | at work with the preparation of a | statement of his position which will be issued shortly before the Chicago con- vention. During the last fortnight he has held many consultations with his{ leaders fro ma large number of states regarding organization of the new party, So much remains to be done in the effort to put the party .on its feet as firmly as possible before the convention that it was the opinion of both the colonel and his advisers he should remain here and devote himself to that task.

AGREEMENT TO END THE McNAMARA CASE FOREVER. | Editor of San Frarsisco Bulletin Tes- tifies Regarding It. Los Angeles, Cal, July 17.—The or- iginal agreement between local repre- sentatives of labor and capital, by 'which the McNamara case was to be ended forever, was disclosed in detail by Fremont Older, editor of the San Francisco Builetin, who teok the stand today for the defense in the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow. The introduction of this testimony-| showing of the defense that it would prove a lack of motive en the part of Darrow for the bribing of Juror George N. Lockwood. The agreement, as outlined by Older, contemplated the pleading of guilty by James B. McNamara and the fixing of his punishment at life imprison- ment. For this the prosecution not cnly was to dismiss aM other cases growing out of the dynamiting of the Times buflding, including that of John J. McNamara, but to destroy all evi- Gence then in possession of the pros- ecution. | Another clause was that represen- tatives of local capital were to recog- nize the labor unions. The question had risen of the unwillingness of District Attorney Fredericks to con- sent to the dismissal of the charge against John J. McNamara and $t had been agreed by Mr. Darrow that if the prosecution insisted upon it the witness said “J. J.” also would be sac- rificed rather than comtinue the trial. - Train Leaves Iron on Curve. hristol, Tenn., July 17—New York and Memphis limited train No. 25 left the track on'a double reverse curve five miles south of Bristol this af- ternoon at 4 o'clock, while running at a high rate of speed.

BODY IN RIVER IS NOT THAT OF SWARTZ. New York Police Bslieve Child Mur- derer is Still Alive. New York, July 17—The belief that the body of a man found floating in the Hudson river on Monday and taken to a morgue in Hoboken was that of Nathan Swartz, the youth ac- cused of murdering 14 year old Julia Connors, in the Bronx early this month, seems tonight to be unfound- ed. Henry Alexander brother-in-law of young Swartz, first identified the body as that of the youth accused of the Connors crime but later weaken- ed, an dtonight, after a second in- spection of the body, declared posi- tively that it was not that of his brother-in-law. The resemblance was remarkable, he said, but there were also differences, chiefly in the teeth ‘which convinced him that he was mis- taken in his first identification. Police Don’t Believe Swartz Dead. It was thought at first that young Swartz had taken his father's ad- vice, after “confessing the crime, as the older Bwartz told yesterday, and had killed himself. The authorities are continuing their investigation in- 1o the case and say they have elimin- ated the probability of Swartz being dead . SUSPECT AT NEW HAVEN.

Washington, July 17.—The senate adjourned tonighg with the prospect of a renewal tomorrow of the democratic filibuster to bring about an early vote on the wool tariff revision bill. Sen- ator Smoot and other leaders of the regular republicans were prepared to make an agreement, with the demo- crats, to e them the opportunity to | vote on the wool, sugar and excise tax bills, but republican progressive forces had not as yet been brought into the agreement. The progressive republicans demand the opportunity to offer amendments to the pending tariff bills. The demo- cratic forces, led by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, were ready to dis- pense with practically all discussion of the measures but they were deter- tined to continue the flibuster until assured of the opportunity to vote. Senator Simmons will “attempt at the opening of tomorrow's session to secure recognition to ask for a vote on the wool bill. In a similar attempt today he was defeated. If he is re- fused recognition tomorrow, it is ex- pected that the filibustering tactics will be continued against the big sun- dry civil appropriation bill. ETHEL CONRAD FOUND BOUND AND GAGGED.

Worth- ington, president ,of the Chicago & Alton, finished his argument against the increase in pay of engineers on castern railroads before the arbitration committee at Manhattan Beach today, and some of the men who operate lo- comotives of the fastest trains in the country were called as witnesses. Engineers Give Testimony. Oscar S, Straus, chairman of the commission, and the other members of the board gave close attention to the testimony of the men who had been summoned by Warren S. Stone to teil of the nerve racking strain which they endured while running trains at 70 to 75 miles an hour, with . the lives of hundreds of passengers endangered if a signal is misread. v . Cross-Examined by Railroad Officials. High officials of the rallroads on which these men are employed cross- examined them, and they told in minute detail the routine duties re- quired of an engineer from the moment he reports for duty at a roundhouse until he completes a round trip and turns in his report. The members of the commission also questioned the engineers in otder to get at the actual hours of service and the monthly ‘wages. Twentieth Century Limited Engineer. Dan Wood. engineer of the Twen- | tieth Century Limited on the New | York Central, said he made the run between Syracuse and Albany, 148 miles, in\162 minutes, including siow- downs. He added that he made as high as 75 miles an hour on a straight track. In the 148 miles, he said, he passed 151 block signals, all of which he had to see. Draws $186 a Month. On cross-examination by A. . Smith, ‘vice ptesident of the New York Central, Wood said he was not on the fast train through choice, but because he was assigned to-it. He said he worked twelve hours every other day and was pald $186 per month. Asked by Chief Stone what danger he most feared in making fast runs, he said the greatest danger lay in the buckling of a freight train on an ad- Joining track. B. & M. Engin O. P. Gallagher, engineer of a_pas- senger train on the Boston & Maine, sald that in his run from White River Junction, Vt, to, Springfield, Mass,, there are 270 signals on the 133 mils of track.

Faots About President Taft's Cam- paign Fund in 1908, - Springfleld. TIL, July 17.—In-a long opinion submitted this evening to Gevernor Deneen by Attorney General Stead, the latter holds that there is no vecancy in the office of senator in the congress of the United States at this time from the state of Illinois within the meaning of the second paragraph of Section 3 of Article 1 of the consti- tution of the United States, and that the governor had not the power to ap- peinf a senator following the action of the United States senmate on last Sat- urday in declaring the election of Wil- lixn Lorimer void. The_attorney general cites the cases of Leéé Mantle of Montana and Mat- thew S. Quay of Pennsylvania and decides that the Lorimer case is analogous to those two. He says that as the senate has determined that Lorimer's election was invalid, it fol- lows that go far as the question of the power of the governor to appoint is concerned the sftuation is the same as it the legislature of 1909 had made no attempt to choose a senator to suc- ceed Albert J. Hopkins, whose re term expired March 3, 1909. In words, the legal effect of the deter- mination of the senate that the election of Lorimer was invalid Is that the legislature of 1809 failed to elect a sen- ator. If that be correct, the attorney a8 the power of the governor to ap- the cases of Mantle and Quay. CHINESE FINANCE JoOB Columbi University. .
