Vogelsong said to Lawler "That's our man," and immediately placed Abshire under arrest. Absnire refused to state his name, handing the officer a bank book instead, with his name written on it. Examined by the police, Abshire testified he had not been any nearer the scene of the murder than Sixth and Main streets. He said he attended the market, bought some articles, and then went to the Grand saloon where he played cards, and left soon after, getting to Crickmore'8 home about 10 o'clock. Police Chief Gormon states he is doubtful if Abshire is the man wanted. Abshire has given a pretty authentic statement of his whereabouts the night of the murder. Abshire sticks stoutly to his denial of guilt. Resents The Charge. "My God, I'd choke the man who accused me of murdering a person" he exclaimed and his hands gripped the burs, when Chief of Police Gormon asked him about the crime and if he ;were implicated in it. Abshire was employed at the M. Rumely plant until Saturday night. He had secured a position at the freight depot where he was to have started work today. He came here August 16 and had been regarded as a hard working, industrious man. Coroner Pierce after the examination of the dead man said the cut had been made with a very sharp knife or razor. It extended from a point below the left ear to the top of the breast bone, and was an inch and a half deep at the deepest place. The weapon cut a hole three quarters of an inch long ;in the jugular vein. The only other mark on the dead man was a V shaped gash in his right wrist, caused by the came blow which nearly severed his head. He threw up his arm to protect his face, and the instrument cut his hand. SCHOLARSHIPS Gill 51 o nr r? t .( it. oons oi iwo employes oi me Pennsylvania Road. .

PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA OPENED SATURDAY

INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., Sept. 9. Hitting out squarely from the shoulder, Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive nominee for governor in the state of Indiana, sounded his keynote speech at Tomlinson hall Saturday night, meeting both the national and state issues in an uncompromising manner. Touching on the national issues, Mr. Beveridge said: "Mr. Rockefeller, head of the oil trust, is supporting Taft; Mr. Ryan, head of the tobacco trust, is supporting Wilson; and both Rockefeller and Ryan are fighting Roosevelt." The Beveridge meeting attracted political leaders from all parts of -the state, who are interested in the Progressive movement, and in attendance were men stationed in all the walks of life, the mechanic, the farmer, the merchant, the lawyer being among those who listened to the remarkable address. Third Party to Make Good. ' "The Progressive party is here to make good the promise of America," said Mr. Beveridge. "Our country has greater possibilities for the happiness and welfare of her people than any other land. Those possibilities must be realized. Providence meant and the fathers dreamed that this republic should be the hope of mankind. That hope must be fulfilled. This nation ought to lead the world toward better things. That we shall do this is the purpose of the great forward movement in American life. And that ia why the people have called into being the Progressive party. "For the old parties cannot do it. They care nothing for the living questions of the time. They are deaf to grave problems that cry out for solution. What do either of the old parties propose to do with that group of human questions such as child labor, the condition of women wage earners, the care of the aged, compensation for industrial injuries, and the like? Upon such vital questions both old parties are silent. They are controlled by a boss system which in turn is the servant of evil special interests that grow fat on the people's substance. This conspiracy of wicked capital and corrupt politics does not want such questions answered. But humanity does want them answered. "Bosses" Control Old Parties. "That the boss system does control both old parties is shown by the actual facts of the present moment.' In New York, Murphy and his Tammany Hall control the Democratic party there; in Illinois Sullivan and his Tammany Hall control the Democratic party there; in Indiana, Taggart and his Tammany Hall control the Democratic jparty here. These are only examples of this system's power over the Democratic party in most of the states. , "The Republican party Is ruled by whs same Dase system, tjan anyDoay imagine Lincoln and Jefferson in company with the Republican and Democratic bosses of 1912? No! Were Lincoln and Jefferson on earth today they would be Progressive just as they were when living. They would help to found this new party now just as each helped to found a new party then. "If either Democratic or Republican machine wins, the boss system is preserved. Whether the Republican or the Democratic machine wins, the great forward movement in American life, which means the betterment of the people's living and the salvation of the republic, is put back. And to put that great forward movement back is the common purpose of both the Democratic and the Republican machines in state and nation. For the Progressive party is this forward movement organized to work out the meaning of that movement in practical laws. Laws for Present Day Needs. "What are those laws? In national affairs we mean to make business laws which will fit present day business conditions laws which will take from honest American business the dead hand of uncertainty and fear and yet prevent the abuses of business from which the people suffer. Our present business laws do not even attempt to prevent or punish the evils of big business; and they are only an excuse for pretended attacks upon any business when it becomes big. "The Sherman law, as it stands, is used chiefly to throw dust into the eyes of the people when an election Is coming on. It never hurts great and dishonest business concerns as witness the outcome of the suits against the Standard Oil company and the Tobacco trust. We were told that the courts had 'destroyed' these mightiest and most criminal trusts in the world; yet after they were 'destroyed' their securities went up in the world's markets by hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. WELL DRILLING Bertsch Bros., Oenterville, lnd. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS The Foster Construction Co- have opened a factory for the manufacture of Cement Blocks, Copings. Porch Col umns. Caps Sills, etc.. at The Old Mill Works. They have a complete outfit f modern machinery and are using nothing but washed and graded materials in all their work.

Would be pleased to have call at Factory and inspect their Products or call phones: Res. 2429 or Factory 340ft.

Rockefeller, head of the Oil trust, is supporting Taft; Mr. Ryan, head of the Tobacco trust, is suuporting Wilson; and both Rockefeller and Ryan ere fighting Roosevelt. Change in Tariff System. "The method of handling our tariff must be changed. We must take the tariff out of politics and deal with it as a business question instead of a political question. A genuine, permanent, non-partisan tariff commission which shall do for us what such commissions have so well done for other countries Is absolutely necessary to a cemmon sense and honest method of tariff making. "The old parties will not give us this great fiscal reform. The Democratic party frankly says it will not. The Republican party's belated declaration that it will is not sincere. Tariff a Vital Question. "Only the Progressive party is right on this vital question. We mean to get rid of our whole unbusinesslike and dishonest method of tariff making. We mean to make a tariff commission as independent, nonpartisan, permanent, and efficient as our inter-state commerce commission. We mean to take the whole subject out of politics and build our tariff as a business measure free from log rolling and fraud.

HOW TO GROW VEGETABLES. Seeds Should Never Be Sown Just After a Rainstorm. Just after a rain is a poor time to sow seeds. It is better to wait until the ground can be raked or harrowed easily. When transplanting is to be done, first wet the ground thoroughly. Then it will be possible to take up a good ball of earth with the plant, and the roots will not suffer. Corn and melons should not be cultivated deeply. The roots grow near the surface, and merely stirring the soil sufficiently to create a dust mulch is all the plants require. It ia important to have the garden tools sharp. Some people never think of sharpening the blade of a hoe, but it is altogether worth while. Squashes keep best if allowed to remain on the vines as long as possible before the season of hard frosts. Then they get thoroughly ripened and the shell well hardened. Poultry manure is a good dressing for the vegetable garden if scattered over the ground in the spring and cultivated in. It ia particularly good for forcing the growth of onions. Seeds of beets, parsnips and carrots germinate slowly. Often weeds come up thickly before the plants appear, but the gardener is afraid to cultivate. A few radish seeds sown with the others win obviate this difficulty by marking the rows within a few days. Some gardeners greatly Improve their lettuce, Swiss chard and spinach by growing them under a canopy of cheesecloth held about five feet above the ground by stakes or a light frame. An excellent way to economize labor In watering plants is to sink a tomato can into the ground at the base of each plant, having first punched the bottom full of holes. The water poured into the can will reach the roots directly and not be wasted. Weak manure water may be given this way to excellent advantage if the planta need feeding. Generally speaking, the depth to plant should be four times the diameter of the seeds.

ALL OF REGIMENTS WERE REPRESENTED When Grand Army Opened Its Annual Convention at Los Angeles.

(National News Association) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9. Every regiment which fought in the civil ! war was represented in Los Angeles today by officers and privates. No regiment, either from the South or the North, lacked its representatives. Five thousand more veterans were expected j to arrive during the day today and take part in the forty-sixh National Encampment here. Yesterday special trains and special cars brought soldiers and their relatives from almost every stat in the nation. The official opening of the encampment was scheduled for today. Members of the board of trade in Pasadena, have planned an elaborate program to interest the visitors. The arrival yesterday of A- J. Peterson, of New York, formally opened the contest for the position of Commander-in-chief. During the encampment a successor to Commander-in-chief Trimble will be selected and yesterday the veterans learned the identity of the aspirants. Peterson is the representative of Daniel E. Sickles of New York, pho is prominently mentioned for the place. Peterson said that Gen. Sickels will make a vigorous contest for the position. Many delegates believe that Albert B. BeerB of Connecticut will be the next head of the organization. Today the campaigns will become more intense and several trades for the withdrawal of candidates may change the entire complexion of the contest. The spirited contest for the commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., may be equalled by a similar activity for the presidency of the Daughters of Veterans. Under ordinary rotation of office, this would fall to Nina M. Littlefield, first vice president. It was stated last night by a number of delegates from the Calfornia and Nevada department of this organization that another candidate may be put forward. Madrid's Night Watchmen. Madrid still has the medieval night watchmen. They admit late comers to the apartment houses at night, but no longer sing out the hour or the condition of the weather. They still go by the name of "sereno," which they got from the fact that, as it seldom rains in Spain, their cries about the weather generally ended -with that word ("las tres y sereno").

CHINESE REGULAR SOLDIERS' MEETING

(National News Association) PEKIN, Sept. 9. Thousands of Republican soldiers are in mutiny throughout the empire today and President Yuan Shi Kai is hard pressed for funds to pay the balance of the army and thus keep the soldiers loyal to the Republican flag. Although the government refuses to give out any information it is learned that fully 15,000 troops have deserted the ranks of the regular army and are murdering, pillaging and burning. As the most violent of the outbreaks have occurred in isolated districts, few details have become known. Garrisons of nearly a score of towns have deserted in the southwestern part of the province of Yu-nan. IN POLICE COURT Dora Johnson, colored, aged fortyfive who says she came to this city Sunday morning to search for a small boy, was arrested in a very drunken condition yesterday noon by Offocer Vogelsong at the corner of Vorth Ninth and A streets. She was falling about on the streets, and had lost one shoe. She was fined $5 and costs this morning. She paid her fine, then went and bought a pair ef shoes, and left for the depot to secure her trunk. She was attired in black silk, which showed the effect of yebterday's debauch. Albert Fells and James Klnsella were each fined $1 and costs this morning in police court for assault and battery. They had a fight in a Main street pool room Saturday night. Each plead guilty when arraigned. George Griffin, who Saturday night aroused a large section of Fairview by the demonstration he was making at his boarding rooms, near Hunt and Linden avenue, plead guilty to the charge of drunk this morning in police court. He was arrested at 11:30 following telephone calls to the poline. Residents of Fairview had mare several complaints against the noise at the rooming house where Griffin is staying. Cockfighting Among the Greeks. The sport of cockfighting seems to have originated with Themistocles of Greece. When he was leading an army against the Persians he noted two cocks in a desperate battle. To stimulate the courage of his soldiers he pointed out the bravery of birds, and, having won his battle with the Persians, he ordered that an annual cockfight should be held to celebrate his victory. In England the records show that the first cockfight toek place In 119L 1035 Main Street n FOR SIX COUPONS Printed elsewhere (Dally) clipped on consecutive days, and the expense bonus set opposite the style selected (which covers the items cf the cost of packing, express from factory, checking, clerk hire and other necessary EXPENSE items,) as explained under the Dictionary Coupon printed on another pase of this issue.
