REAL POWER IN PIERCE COUNTY Cnsliman AImo a. Rival of No Mean Strength Foster's Efforts at Al liance With. Ankeny Failed Strength of Hamilton. "When Senator Foster's term expires two years hence be must choose be tween retirement and a fight for su premacy In Pierce County. Hla most formidable rival Is State Senator Ed S. Hamilton, who not only controls the Republicans of Pierce County, but Is strong In Kins County. Representative Cushmaa Is also ex pected to seek the Senatorshlp, and has a strong following. Foster sought an alliance with An teny, but the latter Is not committed to him. FINEST OF ALL MANRARA'S BOUQUET CLEAR HAVANA CIGARS LANG & CO., DISTRIBUTERS TACOMA, March 24. (Special.) United States Senator Addison G. Foster will have to chooee, when ho reaches Tacoma, between quietly withdrawing from, the Senatorial fight two years hence and be coming Involved In a fight for supremacy In Pierce County. It Is believed by poli ticians that he will not be a candidate to succeed himself. The men who made Senator Foster figure In state politics are now eager to support State Senator Ed S. Hamilton for United States Senator. They axe under some obligations to Foster not to make a fight against him or to form a new al Hance until he has, had time enough to decide, "upon his' future course, and for .hat reason herWill-be.giventhe opportune lty of marking out his own course before anything la done. Foster alone could not carry Fierce County if a fight were to be made against him In favor of any other prominent polit ical figure. Senator Hamilton, for in stance, would leave Foster In a dazed con dition after a flcht, from which the Sen ator would scarcely be able to awaken in time to realize Hamilton's success. It Is likely, too, that Cushman could beat Foster in this county and under the cir cumstances It is not likely Foster will push his claims. "When Foster was elected United States Senator four years ago, Hamilton was chairman of the Pierce County delegation that made his election possible. Foster's support was of a curious character. The Pierce County delegation wanted a Pierce County man if possible, but the second choice sentiment was about as pronounced as it was among the King County men this Winter. The delegation excited interest largely because It was an open question as to where It would so if Foster should be withdrawn. Outside Pierce County Foster had some loyal supporters. A por tlon of this support consisted of men that wanted to be with the winner and figured that It would be a convenient thing to leap from Foster to another's camp. Anlceny Not Bound to Illm. Of course there were loyal Foster men in the camp of the Tacoma candidate, out the strength was not of a character that could stand against a persistent on slaught. Ankeny's candidacy, though under grievous handicaps, gained and threatened to gain more. "Wilson, more anxious to defeat Anlceny than to accomplish almost any other purpose, conferred with Foster. The latter could not elect "Wilson: the Spokane man could throw his strength to Foster. This was done. "When Foster was elected four years ago, he had no Intention of being a candidate to succeed himself. But he has learned to like the people of "Washington, D. C, and the job suits him. Senator Foster dis covered this Jact three years ago and he began to build up his strength at that time. Against the advice of his friends. ho sought to harmonize the "Wilson and Ankeny factions by appolntins leaders of each to the richest offices In the state. This drew him Into the hardest political fights he has had, though he succeeded in carrying out his programme with but one break. Overtures to Foster were made by the AnKeny people three years ago. Foster would not return a definite answer, for "Wilson was Insisting that ho should keep an agreement to support him In his next fight. Subsequently Foster perceived An keny's strength and endeavored to form an alliance with him. The Ankeny man agers accepted so much of Foster's strength as was useful, but did not com mit themselves. In fact, as late as this "Winter, when the King County delega tlon asked Ankeny for support two years hence, Ankeny declared that, while he could not give such a promise, he was not tied up to Foster, and would leave an open field. This showed that Foster had failed in his proposed Ankeny combine. Foster is not personally responsible for much .of the opposition that has been fhown to him. Personally he has been anxious to satisfy the Republican leaders and to protect his friends. As a result he has fallen into complicated situations, from which he could only extricate him self with loss of support. It is not altogether certain that Foster himself, but when he left Tacoma last Summer he had practically announced his candidacy. A "Winter In "Washington may have worked some change, but this Is not likely. The situation In Pierce County Is some what complicated. Congressman Cush man Is known to have Senatorial aspira tions, and some of his friends believe he wiji forego the nght for a renomlnatlon to the House .for the purpose of strengthen ing himself for a Senatorial contest dur ing the following "Winter. Among a large class In Pierce County Cushman Is strong, and he has the backing of the press here. The Influence of the newspapers, however; Is not of a. reassuring character. Among the politicians Cushman has no standing. As between Foster and Cushman, Pierce County would nave a hard time deciding, not because there was a strong division of sentiment, but because of the different elements of strength that could be mus tered In a county convention. The Issue is not one that Foster's friends desire to force. The last session of the legislature In jected State Senator Ed S. Hamilton Into Senatorial politics. From outside sources his name was first suggested as a candi date two years hence, and the Idea of going to "Washington Is pleasing to Hamil ton and his friends here. He is a good politician, a. born leader and a man cap able of filling the office. He has been the central figure In Pierce County poll tics for several years, and is the Teal power behind the throne In the present municipal administration. The politicians are with him, and the business men like him. He has never had any trouble with the laboring men, and has been Indorsed several times by different trades unions. So, under the circumstances, he is a very strong factor in Pierce County Senatorial politics. Hamilton 'Strong; la Seattle. There Is another element of Hamilton's strength that is attracting attention. He has business interests in Seattle, which are almost as extensive as those in Ta coma. and to Seattle and King County he would be more acceptable than any other Pierce County man that could be named. "Wltn the probability of a hard fight to reconcile the two counties, this Is a fac tor to be considered. Hamilton has claims upon Foster's sup port. His friends .are the men who made Foster Senator, -and when the latter re turns from Washington he will meet the proposition of stepping out of Hamilton's way sauarely In front of him. It will be urged upon Foster that he cannot win. and In remaining In the fight he Is likely to endanger all Interests that have been friendly to him. Under the circumstances it will be difficult for him to refuse to ac cede to the demands made upon him. STORY I Mrs. Burdick Tells of Pennell's Love.

Execution ot Murderer EeldluK to take place ut Pennell Pursued and She Again Met Him. DEAD MAN'S LETTERS READ Mrs. Burdick told at the Inquest on the body of her murdered husband yes terday the story of her guilty relations with Pennell. She told how Pennell drew her Into a doorway and kissed her, telephoned to her from New York, and frequently met her by appointment. Her memory frequently failed, but the District Attorney refreshed It by read ing copious extracts from her and Pen nell's letters. t She said that Burdick forced her to give up Pennell's. letters by choking her. She admitted having been forgiven and taken tack on promlslnr to be faithrul to Burdick. but that she had broken her promise and renewed her re lations with Pennell, and that the di vorce eult followed. Burdlck's lawyer testified that Pen nell bad hinted at suicide. Pennell's servant girl, told of his movements on, the night of the murder, her storq being favorable to him. Mrs. Burdick took the witness-stand. Mrs. Burdick testified that she would be 42 years ot age on April 30, She was married to Burdick In 1SS6. They had three children. She met Pennell at a card party five or six years ago. at which Mr. Burdick was present. She went to New Haven and New York with the Pennells in 1S3S. Mr. Burdick did not go, being de tained by business. No unusual friend ship sprang up between her and PennelL Witness did not recall a letter from Pen nell written in New Haven In 1S00, In which he said: "Yesterday I was at the gateway on the campus grounds, where more than two years 'ago I drew you In In the darkness. This place Is enshrined to me." At this point Mr. Hartsell. Mrs. Bur dlck's counsel, asked what was the pur pose of the questions. Judge Murphy said he could object to her answering any .questions that might hold Mrs. Burdick up to public ridicule. "We do not wish to object, but we trust that no unnecessary questions will be asked," said Mr. Hartsell. The District Attorney produced the let ter and handed It to the witness, who trembled violently. "Do you recognize it as Pennell's hand writing?" "Yes." whispered Mrs. Burdick. "And you recall the incident now?" "Yes, sir." Kissed Her in a Doorway. Mrs. Burdick. in recalling the incident, confessed that Pennell went into a door way, drew her In. took her In his arms and kissed her. She thought she remonstrated. She did not remember that Pennell was at Shelter Island In September, 1S0O, nor a letter from him in which he wrote that , he found her gloves In the pocket of his i Tuxedo. The letter was handed to her. She read It hastily, and did not appear to enjoy Its contents. It was written by Pennell. she said, but she did not remem ber having seen it before. Mrs. Burdick was shown another letter from Shelter Island, written in September, 1S00, and it was identified by her. She did. not recall Pennell's telephoning her from New York, as stated n the letter. Mrs. Burdick was then questioned at some length relative to the meaning of "1, 2, 3," referred to In a letter from Pen- , neli, in which he said, "I will meet you at i 1, 2, 3, Wednesday morning," but Mrs. Burdick answered that she did not know, I There were two or three houses, she said. j at which she used to meet him. I Mr. Coatsworth produced another let- f ter, postmarked New Haven, September, ' 19. 1200. Mrs. Burdick said she recalled receiving it.

SQENE AT THE WHITE HOUSE While Tacoma Delegation Urges tke President Not to Change Plans, Seattle Men Appear With Their Plea. -T9 The rivalry, between Seattle and Ta coma for the bettar half of the Presi dent's time while on Puget Sound caused an amusing scene at the "White House yesterday. While Senators Foster and Ankeny and Representative Cushman were pleading with him not to change his Itinerary. Representative Humphrey and President Cllse. of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, appeared to ask for a chance. Some concessions were finally made to Seattle, but not to her satisfaction. The President declined to make changes In his Itinerary through North Dakota and Idaho. Deep snow will make the trip through Yellowstone Park arduous. SHE HAS ONLY ONE MORE YEAR IN PRISON. MRS. FLORENCE MAYBRICK. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 23.- President Kooseveic was much amused this morning by a con test that took place In his office showing thP Rtronir feeling that exists between Se attle and Tacoma. Hardly had the office opened before In came Senator Poster, ail .Txhpmont closelv followed by benaior Ankeny and representative Cushman. When the Tacoma Senator saw that no one else waa present, he proceeded to lay before the President a deep plot he had dLirnvei-ed on, the. tiart of Seattle to wreck kand-utterly destroy, the .effect, of his grp- j T 3 X posed tour or i'ugec aouna. i uuo w anguish he Implored the President to abide by the plan heretofore arranged, regardless of whatever representations might be made to him. Ankeny and Cushman nodded approval. At this Juncture the door opened and In rushed the irate Representative Hum phreys, leading President Cllse, of the Se attle Chamber of Commerce. He started as he recognized the" President's early callers, for Humphrey had come all the way from Seattle on a supposed secret mission to overthrow.ihe Infamy of Fos ter and to "secure Justice for Washlng ton'sfmetropolls," but Foster had heard of his coming and of his arrival here, and outgeneraled him in the maneuvers. After Humphreys presented his case and pleaded with the President for more time in Seattle; the President decided to com promise, and has, he hopes, finally ar ranged to leave Tacoma at 8:30 on the morning of May 23,. go by boat to the Bremerton navy-yard, where, he will spend half an hour viewing the drydock. shops and approaches to .the navy-yard, and then go direct to Seattle, arriving at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. At 3:30 that afternoon the President will go by rail to Everett, where he will stop an hour and a half, returning to Seattle by boat to remain until Monday . morning. The Seattle people have complained that If the President went from Bremerton to Everett he would not reach Seattle until late In the evening, and today urged that Everett be omitted, but In this they failed. They are not satisfied with having the President all day Sunday, and complaints are still heard that the Tacoma inter ests, through Senator Foster, euchered Seattle in the play for time. MA'Y ASK FOR CHAXGES. JlnnKbrouKli and Heyburn Also Jlake Rcqneats, but Are DlnappointeU. -wartttnt;toN March 23. The neoDle of the states through which the Presi dent Is to travel on his Western trip have been besieging him through their Repre sentatives and Senators for changes in the schedule, so as to take in points at which no stops have-been arrangeu. ab a rule, it Is impossible to comply with such requests without upsetting the en tire schedule, but where slight changes can be made by rearranging the time within a state they are being made. For Instance, today at the request of Senator Foster and Representatives Cushman and Humphreys, of Washington, the Washington schedule was altered so a's to extend the time of the President's stay at Seattle and Spokane. Senators Hansbrough, of North Dakota, and Heyburn, of Idaho, also were at the White House today to secure changes In the schedule, but in their. cases no "alter ations could be made. The latter wanted to arrange a trip down into one of the big mines for the' President. . but It could not be done. It Is understood thatjMrs. Roosevelt and children will spend the time during the President's Western trip at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, and on his return he will -join his family and spend the Sum mer there, much as he did last year.
