NAT GOODWIN INJURED

FAMOUS ACTOR MAY DIE AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT. Loses Control of Skiff Near Los Angeles in. Heavy Sea—Skull Is Fractured. Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 16.—Nat C. Goodwin, the actor, was Berlously and probably fatally Injured at Rocky Point, twelve miles south of Heuneme, when he lost control of the skiff In which he was riding and was drawn Into the breakers. He was thrown on the rocks and, as he tried to swim away, was dashed back against them by the boat as it was hurled ashore. Goodwin was alone in the boat, in which he had left the landing more than an hour before. Shortly after he had rowed away from shore a wind which caused a heavy swell came up and, despite the actor’s efforts to keep hfe craft out of danger, he was gradually drawn nearer the «cks. As it struck the boat rebounded and Goodwin either was thrown or leaped from It, striking on his side across one of tbe rocks. He was battered on the rocks several times before the water finally threw him upon the sands, where he remained, unconscious, until witnesses of the accident were able to reach him over the tortuous path they had to use to that part of the shore. He was carried to a hotel at Rocky Point and was given attention by a local physician; who expressed belief that hiß skull had been fractured and that he had suffered Internal injuries.

JURORS IN TEARS AS DARROW PLEADS

Attorney Makes Brilliant Appeal on Own Behalf. JURY GETS CASE TONIGHT Even Prosecutor Is Visibly Affected as Accused Ends Fight to Free Himself From Bribery Charge. Los Angeles, Aug. 16. —Clarence 8. Darrow, who for the past three months has been on trial in the superior court on an Indictment charging bribery of jurors in the McNamara case, gave one of tbe most brilliant oratorical efforts while presenting his closing argument that ever has been heard in a local court. The case will go to the Jury tonight. The speech was unusual and rendered by an unusual master of the English language., Darrow held his audience spellbound from almost the moment he began speaking until his final plea. Court Is in Tears. There was hardly a dry eye in the courtroom when the famous labor leader of Chicago concludes his pleadings. Two of the jurors, Williams and Lammers, shed tears; Associate Counsel Appel sat at the attorneys' table and cried like a child, and even District Attorney Fredericks wasi visibly affected. At times Darrow used sarcasm, to be followed In a few minutes by eloquence. He was one minute a child; the next, a giant denouncing his enemies with fierce investive. Bit by hit he analyzed the testimony which had been presented against him and denounced Franklin and Harrington, the state’s chief witnesses, only charging them with corruption, treachery and perjurjy. Makes Final Plea to Jury. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said Darrow, in making his final plea, “the only question you have to decide is whether I gave Franklin $4,000 on the morning of November 28. You can't have sat here for three full months without having some idea about the truth of the evidence. Do you believe Franklin? Remember, I must be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. “If you convict me It must be on Franklin's statement that on November 28 Job Harriman gave me $4,000 and I gave it to him for the bribery.” Just before concluding Darrow recounted the events leading up to the close of the McNamara case, and answered the allegations that had been made against him that he had sacrificed the McNamaras to save himself. Tears rolled down his cheeks and his voice grew husky as he told how he had induced the McNamaras to plead guilty to save their lives, and to “end the war,” when he realized that the case was hopeless, despite the fact that he knew he would suffer. Fredericks Closes for State. To take the jury after Darrow’s wonderful appeal had touched their feelings as it was apparent that it had, was the 1 task of District Attorney. Fredericks, when he began the final appeal for the prosecution. Referring to Darrow’s plea, Fredericks commented; “I want to tell you, gentlemen,” he said to the Jury, “that you have listened to one of the most marvelous addresses, orations or pleas, ever delivered in any courtroom when you listened to Mr. Darrow. Plausible, eloquent, his thirty-five years of training back of it, his tremendous interest In it made it indeed a wonderful plea. “But that, gentlemen," he continued, “only reflects the ability of a man and has mighty little to do with his guiß or innocence* If you would pay attention to that, it would mean thati a man of his ability could commit crime all at his pleasure, and he could not be convicted for it.”

MURDERESS DIES IN CHAIR

Virginia Ghristian, Colored, Electrocuted at Richmond, Va., for Murder of Mrs. Ida V. Belote. Richmond, Va., Aug. 16.—Virginia Christian, the negress who killed Mrs. Ida Virginia Belote at Hampton, Va., paid the penalty for her crime in the electric chair in the state prison early today. W. G. Anderson, an attorney representing a number of Chicago people, had a conference with Governor Mann yesterday, in which he sought to have the electrocution postponed until the woman could be examined by an alienist, but the governor declared that he had every assurance that she was Bane and refused to interfere. The woman had been respited three times to enable the state officers to inquire into detail of the crime, governor Mann wrote to the Judge and :he commonwealth’s attorney of Elizabeth City county for their views and recommendations and was informed :hat there was nothing in the case which justified clemency.

BACK TO DEMOCRACY

IN THIS CRISIS IT IS COUNTRY’S ONLY HOPE. To Be Free From Demagogues of the Roosevelt Stripe There Must Be a Return to Proper Principles. The;re is an excuse for Theodore Roosevelt which should be fully understood. The Amerioan people are not partial to third terms. They are not naturally inclined to embrace necessary men. They have many reasons for distrusting the person who now assumes to lead them into strange paths. They know that he is willful, impatient of restraint, loose in statement, fond of power and dictatorial. They know that he craves applause and enjoys attention. They know that almost any man who is cheeky* clever and unscrupulous can recruit a noisy following from the ranks of the unstable and the reckless. It is violence and violence alone that gives Theodore Roosevelt power. By thi3 means he enlists support which otherwise could not be had By this means he makes men forfeet the streaks and stripes in his career. By new sensations and new terrors he renews interest in himself daily. It is no new art that he practices. It is the old, old art of demogogy. But there is an excuse for Mr. Roosevelt the same as there is an excuse for a lynching party. Where law is enforced and justice prevails mobs do not assemble and dictatorships are net proposed. When mischief is afoot those whose social responsibilities are few do not inquire closely into the motives of its authors.

Attached as most Americans are to order and law, they nevertheless have shown from the beginning a willingness on occasion to make short cuts, to use force and to palliate despotic deeds. It is to this spirit that Mr. Roosevelt appeals. It Is a people discouraged and desperate, a people betrayed, a people disorganized and leaderless, a people almost persuaded to repudiate law, that the demagogue addresses. He will be heard until a better and truer man gains attention. The excuse for Roosevelt ig to be found in the perfidy of his own party and the uncertainty that has existed as to the policy and leadership of the Democratic party. The antidote here as elsewhere, now as always, for the poison of force and absolutism is a fierce and fighting Democracy, attached to the constitution, true to its pledges and inflexibly the champion of equal rights under the laws. If we cannot have true Americanism, true Democracy, true self-govern-ment, we shall presently have something worse than Roosevelt. Dangerous as he may be, he is only the apostle of a propensity that never fails to appear when great peoples have grievances which in orderly fashion they seem powerless to remedy —New York World.

Wilson's View Correct.

In your issue of July 9 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is quoted as follows: “The high cost of living is worldwide, existing in low tariff countries as well as in high tariff nations. The causes are threefold —the increased supply of gold, the enormous shifting of population from tht? country districts to the cities, which decreases the number of producers and increases the number of consumers, and the third and chief cause is shortening the hours of labor, thus decreasing the production ana increasing the consuming capacity.” This is all true as far as he goes. But Dr. Butler misses the very point of the argument, as applied to the United States, when he fails to say that the excessively high tariff in the United States is directly responsible for the enormous and hurtful shifting of population from the country districts to the cities. This it is that is making labor so scarce In the country districts and decreasing so largely what our food products ought to be in comparison to our ever-increasing total population. Hence Governor Wilson is entirely correct when he says that the high cost of living and the excessively high . tariff are interminably linked together.—Letter In New York Herald.

Too Grotesque for Toleration.

Intelligent people must, in the calmer moments which are coming, perceive that a campaign professedly against trusts and monopoly and the selfish interest of individuals which is kept alive by the resources of the chairman of the finance committee of the Harvester trust is too grotesque to command the toleration of serious men. In that oause the money of George W. Perkins stinks.-*—New York Tribune.

Not an Unmixed Blessing.

A woman claims that by brayer and fasting she has gained the gift of tongues and now can converse in any language. The cynics will probably retort that, taking the self-asserted miracle for granted, one tongue has proved to be far too voluble a vehicle for the majority of her sex, and that the access of all languages is not go much a personal merit as a general misfortune.—Baltimore American J

PRESIDENT SENDS IN THIRD VETO

Returns Judicial Bill Without His Approval. HOLDS UP HIS OWN SALARY House Falls to Override President — Measure Would Drop Commerce Court and Limit Civil Service Tenure. . Washington, Aug. 16. —The house bailed to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill over the veto of President Taft by a vote of 153 to 107. The defection of seventeen Democrats, who ignored the appeal of Leader Underwood and other Democratic leaders, prevented the house from passing the bill containing a clause limiting government employes to seven year terms and abolishing the commerce court. Thirteen • Progressive Republicans voted on the Democratic side. Veto Will Prolong Session. The president’s veto is sure to prolong the session of congress. One effect of the veto is to hold up his own pay, that of every member of congress, every federal judge and every employe of the United States courts. Some leaders have proposed a plan of passing a resolution to extend all last year's appropriations to December 2 and adjourn congress without passing the bill. When the reading of the veto was over Representative Stephens of Nebraska, Democrat, introduced a resolution for the passage of any vetoed measure by a majority vote. A twothirds vote of both houses is required at present. Mr. Stephens declared Mr. Taft had used the veto power more than it had been used in the first half-century of the nation’s history. He added that the president of France had no veto power, and that while the king of England enjoyed the privilege he “had not dared to use it” for 220 years. Condemn Congress’ Action. Mb. Taft’s message was strong in Its condemnation of the way congress had attached special legislation to an annual appropriation bill. The president wrote that he approved any system of promoting efficiency in the civil service and favored a civil pension system, but he could not approve any legislation to turn out of office employes who had given their best yearp to the government. The president defended the commerce court vigorously and wrote that opposition to it came from those who had not been in sympathy with its decisions. , In his message Mr. Taft said: “The importance and absolute necessity of furnishing funds to maintain and operate the government cannot be used by the congress to force upon the executive acquiescence In permanent legislation which he cannot conscientiously approve. “I am utterly opposed to the abolition of a court because its decisions may not always meet the approval of a piajority of the legislature. It Is Introducing a recall of the judiciary which in its way is quite as objectionable as the ordinary popular method proposed." Disagree on Steel and Wool. An effort to reach an agreement to dispose of the steel and wool tariff revision bills already passed by the house over the president's veto failed in the senate. Republican leaders decided to call in absent members to meet any attempt by the Democrats to repass the vetoed bills. Telegrams were dispatched to all absentees within easy reaching distance of Washington to return to the capital. The Republican force has been depleted greatly (during the last two weeks. Complete disagreement between the house and senate on the sugar tariff bills was outlined in a conference report on the measure presented to the senate by Senator Penrose. This indicates there will be no sugar legislation at this session.
