Give Taft Men Much
Encouragement
CHICAGO, Aug. 30. The Republi
can chieftains consider the prospects
for a bitter1- fight an excellent thing
for their party, as it will arouse thous
ands of voters who have .been in the
habit of letting matters political move
complacently along without their as
sistance. Now that there is a possi
bility of defeat these men will emerge
from hiding and take an active part
in the contest, the leaders argue.
There are many evidences of this
from all quarters.
Arnold M. Ehrlich and Alfred Wein
traub visited thd Taft headquarters
today with resolutions indorsing Taft
adopted by the Roumanian Politcal
Club.
"The members of the Roumanian
Club are Jews," said Mr. Ehrlich,
" and we are for President Taft be
cause he has shown us as a race ab
solute fairness. We are not fdr Roose
velt because he is a demagogue and
we are not for Wilson because he has
characterized immigrants from South
ern Europe as the scum of the earth."
Representative Crumpacker, of In
diana, held a lengthy conference with
David W .Mulvane, director of the
Taft headquarters. He will engage
actively in campaign work after the
middle of September.
"It is now a fact that only a small
percentage of the Republicans will
identify themselves with the move
ment to destroy the Republican par
ty," said Mr. Crumpacker. "That
party has been the best agency this
country has ever known for the devel
opment of commercial and industrial
progress and for the sane and busi
nesslike conduct of the Government."
T. D. Evans, of Tulsa, Okla., says
the campaign in his state is a. repeti
tion of the Bryan campaign of 1896.

ILe Grand
BOSTON, Aug. 30. William M.
Wood, president of the American
Woolen company, the largest textile
concern in the country, surrendered
here today to District Attorney Pel
letier on an indictment charging con
spiracy, T he indictment is in con
nection with the reported "planting"
of dynamite during the Lawrence
strike by textile officials in an alleged
effort to discredit the strikers.
- Wood went to police headquarters,
accompanied by Congressman Samu
el Powers, who pibabl will act as
his counsel.
The indictment as returned by the
grand jury was read to the million
aire woolen manufacturer by Police
Inspector Lynch. It charged conspir
acy, asserting that Wood and other
textile officials caused dynamite to be
placed in the homes of the striking
foreigners at Lawrence for the alleg
ed purpose of injuring the strike of
the operatives thei"e. The workers
were victorious after one of the most
bitter industrial struggles in the his
tory of New England.
Wood was immediately arraigned
and was rleased on $5000 bail. District
Attorney Pelletier says that he has a
good case against the mill owner and
is certain of conviction.
The treatment accorded the strik
ers at Lawrence startled the civilized
world. Defenseless women and cil
dren were brutally beaten by police
and militia sent to Lawrence by Gov
ernor Eugene N. Foss for the alleged
purpose of maintaining order. Strike
leaders asserted that the soldiers
were sent to persecute the millwork
ers, and their testimony was borne
out at a congressional hearing in
Washington, in which Senator Miles
Poindexter of Washington, who per
sonally investigated conditions at
Lawrence, -voiced bitter denunciation
of the tactics employed by the mill
owners. A number of strikers were arrested
when dynamite was found in their
homes. They asserted that the explo
sives were "planted" by representa
tives of the millowners and this
charge was also made when James
Breen, recently convicted of "plant
ing" dynamite was accused.

cada Bank, and a fighter for county di
vision, has become a hero. Crossed
wires at the home of C. F. Howe, in
Estacada, set fire to the building and
the fire department was summoned

WOMAN HELD FOR

HUSBAND PLACED UNDER ARREST
Officials Rtfuse To Divulge Evidence,
But Declare Woman Took .
Leading Part In
Burglary
NEW WESTMINISTER, B. C, Aug.
30. A frail, nervous woman, Alice
Davis, was directly charged in police
court today with "breaking into and
entering the Bank of Montreal on Sep
tember 15, 1911, and stealing there
from the sum of $271,009."
So far as the records sjiow, she is
the first woman ever held in Canada"
for the robbery of a bank.
The woman is supposed to be the
wife of Walter Davis, with whom she
was arrested a month ago in Toronto.
He is also held on the same charge.
Although the Davis woman has just
recovered from a breakdown,, due to
the nervous strain she was under fol
lowing her arrest, she gave no sign
when the charge was read, that she
realized the seriousness.
The officials here refuse to make
public what evidence they will bring
in an effort to prove the woman's di
rect participation in the robbery, .one
of the most sensational in the history
of the northwest. Robbers entered
the bank in the dead of night, gagged
and bound the Chinese janitor and
watchman, dynamited the safe and
fled from New Westminister in a stol
en automobile which was found the
next day, broken down, just outside
the town limits.
On request of counsel, D. B. Kerr,
appearing for the crown ,a remand of
eight days, until September 7, was
granted without opposition. There are
now three of the suspects in connec
tion with the robbery in the provinc
ial jail here, Charles Dean having au
peared yesterday, and the trial post
poned until September 5.
News is expected daily in regard to
-the case pending against McNamara,
the alleged suspect who is fighting ex
tradition in Duluth, Minn., as well as
I from Detroit, Minn., where Martin
Powell 'and Dalrymble are also fight
i ing extradition.

Crystal Lake Park, which is 40x100
feet was filled with the products and
arranged so that each district was by
itself in the vegetable line, and while
the needlework was altogether in the
east end of the building, the walls be
ing adorned with the finest material
and needlework, ranging from doll's
clothes to those worn by the pupils,
and even well made bedspreads were
found, one of which was the handi
work of a boy, William Miller. The
stitches were as good as those of a
