Indiana itcpublicuns Renew Boom of
Vice-President for Succcs-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March -Special.)
Elimination of Secretary Taft from
the list of Presidential possibilities has
put the friends of Vice-President Fair
banks here In high glee. State Chairman
Goodrich confessed to being greatly
pleased that Mr. Taft hud stepped out of
the field.
The friends of Mr. Fairbanks know there
is a considerable clement in Indiana op
posed to him, for he has made many po
litical enemies while building up his ma
chine. These political enemies arc inclined
to favor the boom for Taft.
The Marion Club, the lurgest Republican
organization in Indiana, took cognizance
of the withdrawal of Mr. Taft by publicly
adopting resolutions addressed to Mr.
Fairbanks calling attention to his can
didacy. The message sent him reads:
"Greetings: By resolution unanimously
adopted, the Marion Club to a man would
be ready to march behind you for Presi

LODlS DE LANGE MURDERED
Well-Known Playwright Found In
Bed 'With Throat Cut.
NEW YORK. March 13. Louis de Lange
author of "The Globe Trotter" and other
plays was- found dead today and murder
Is suspected. The body was found In bed
with the throat cut.
The suspicions of murder arc based on
a statement made by the dead man's
sister-in-law, Mrs. Alexander C. de
Lange. About 4 o'clock tills morning she
heard the playwright, who lived In the
same apartment house, come home and
go to his room. Some one accompanied
him. Shortly after tlmy entered the
room Mrs. de Lange heard sounds of
quarreling and thinks she heard a scuffle.
Then she heard her Drother-In-law's voice
exclaim: "Oh. God! Don't do that!"
Going to the hallway she saw a young
man leave the playwright's room and
go out of the house. This .man, Mrs. dc
Lange said, walked as If Intoxicated. She
listened and, hearing nothing more from
her brother-in-law's room, went back to
bed. On arising this morning she told
her husband what she had seen, and an
investigation revealed de Lange's death.
A Coroner's physician performed an au
topsy on tho body of Louis Dc Lange and
found that his death was due to the sev
erance of the left jugular vein. He said,
however, that he would not give an opin
ion as to whether the man's death was
suicide or murder until he had investi
gated the case more thoroughly.
Detectives late tonight arrested a per
son who they say was last seen with Dc
Lange before his death. He is Samuel
Kerman, a newsboy, 17 years of age. Her
man admits talking with De Lange Mon
day night, but denies going into the room
with him.
ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
Countess dc Castcllanc Changes Pe
tition to French Court.
PARIS. March 13. Countess Bon! do
Castellanc, accompanied by Bdmond Kel
ly, her lawyer, today appeared before
Judge Dltte, president of tlie Civil Trl1
bunul of the Seine, and asked for permis
sion to amend the proceedings in her ap
plication for a serration from her hus
band, so that the decreo will give her an
absolute divorce. The application asked
for separate domicile and custody of the
children pending a legal procedure.
Judge Ditte, before finally deciding,
complied with the usual formality of re
questing the husband and wife to appear
together for the Joint Interrogation
concerning the possibility of a reconcilia
tion. Tho latter will fulfill the legal .re
quirements, but it is not expected to yield
favorablo results, as the parties are fully
determined to terminate their union. Their
Joint appearance before the court will oc
cur in lour or live aays, ana immediately
thereafter an amended bill will be filed
and a writ will be served on tlie same
grounds as previously, the only change be
ing a petition that the bonds of matri
mony be dissolved.

SHE RETURNS TO ZION-CITY
Said to Have Ordered Sale or Costly

House to Zion She Ex
plains Separation.
CHICAGO, March 12 John Alexan
der Dowle, head of the Zion Church,
and his wife have parted, according to
a story printed in the Dally Ntwa. It
Is declared that the last message pf
Dowle to his home was ignored and
that Mrs. Dowle lias thrown her 'lot
with tho ordinary followers of Zion.
It is said that Mrs. Dowlo has told
her friends that she has been de
ceived as to the real conditions in the
church and believed that millions of
money were available when there was
no such condition.
Mrs. Dowle yesterday called in brok
ers, who made an Inventory of the fur
nishings of the Dowle homo In Zion
City, which is decorated in a most ex
pensive manner. She declared that she
desired to sell everything for the good
of the church and that, when the fur
nishings had been sold, the house itself
was at the disposal of the society.
Mrs. Dowle. in an Intorvicw today, ac
cording to tlie Chronicle, denies that there
has been any estrangement between her
self and Mr. Dowie. She -was much af
fected by the public report, declaring
that there was no foundation whatever
for them. Her separation from her hus
band, she said, was due entirely to his im
paired health and not to domestic trou
bles. Asked If it were true that she had de
cided to cast her lot with Bowie's follow
ers Jn Zion City, she replied:
"I have cast my lot with John Alexan
der and shall remain faithful to him U
the end."
OUT OF SENATORIAL RACE
(Continued From Pago 1 )
Mormon bishops waited on Mr. Borah to
got a pledge of his vote for SraooL Borah
told them he could not make a promise
in advance of any heating, but that he
could assure them that Senator Smoot
would be treated fairly; that he had no
prejudice against him.
The members of the delegation pro
fessed to be satisfied, but it la ild that
Lyltlelon Price, Borahs' manager, re
marked as they left the room:
Thcy are d n liars; they are not
satisfied."
Mormons Against Mr. Borah.
He seems to have guessed It correctly.
The loaders In Salt Lake are unques
tionably against Mr. Borah. They are.
It is ild, quietly sending out word fa
vorable to Brady, and to tho effect that
he is a friend of tlie Mormons. Frank
Hunt, one of the most active Mormons
and cx-Spcaker. lias, 'so the story goes,
be on throuKh tho scattered Mormon set
tlements disseminating this doctrine.
The Mormons hold control over the
southeastern counties and iy that they
hole1 sufficient power to name the next
Senator. Mr. Brady announced his can
didacy a few days ago through the Dos
orot News, the organ of tho Mormon
Church, which, of course, vas Intended
to have Its effect among good Mormons.
And all this pours water over Fred
Dubois' waterwheoL There are many
who admit that Dubois Is gaining
strength, and he Is gaining much of It
because of tlie decp-soated Republican
factional light.
Clo;c Friend of Stciincnbcrg.
An effort to get Mr. Borah to discuss
his withdrawal from politics at this tlmo
failed. I have it from the rory best au
thority that he has concluded to devote
all of his time to the prosecution of the
charges of assassination against Moyer.
Haywood, PotUbone and the rest of the
members of the Western Federation of
Miners. In this great legal fight, for it
promises at this early date to be one of
the greatest In tlie criminal historv of
this country, he will be ierforraIng a la
bor of love
Governor Stcuncnborg- and Mr. Borah
wenr through the Coeur d'Alene trou
bles together and there sprang up be
tween them a friendship which ripened
with years. When Governor Stcuncn
borg was assassinated no man in the
state was closer to the cx-Govcrnor
than Mr. Borah and no one felt his
dcuth more keenly.
Forced Into the Case.
Mr. Borah was urged by the state to
take hold of tho prosecution from tho
first, but declined to accept employ
ment or to act in any other way than
as a friendly adviser, hoping; no doubt,
that a way would be found to relievo
him from giving- personal attention to
the case. Since tho developments,
however, which have startled the
whole Vountry he has again been urjjcd
to go Into the case and has consented.
These trials will undoubtedly string
out through the entire Summer, and It
means that the field of politics Is to be
left entirely to Borah's opponents. It
Is currently reported that when it be
came necessary for him to decide he
called In the friends he could reach
and stated that It was out of the ques
tion for him to do Justice to the prose
cution and give any time whatever to
politics. He would have to stay out
of one or the other.
Mr. Borah further stated he did not
sec how he could honorably decline to
assist in the prosecution If his services
were wanted. Whether any further de
termination was had. It is Impossible
to state, but It is known that he is
giving his undivided attention to this
case.
Opponent for Senator licybum.
At first glance It would seem as If
Mr. Borah was caught between politi
cal and legal wheels and that the
tiling was forced upon him by his po
litical enemies, who counted upon him
to choose the greatest thing, that of
working with Special Prosecutor
James H. Hawley In the prosecution
of the Federation officers.
Mr. Borah is still a young man. He
knows that even should he have to
wait six or even ten years for the
( political honor which he has Just
thrust aside, he will be In & better po
sition to fulfill the better. His- financial
position will be better fortified, for if
he were elected this year, the large

GATHERING OF REPUBLICANS
Idaho State Committee AVIII Select
Place of State Convention.
BOISE. Idaho. March 13. (Special.)
Tho Bepubllcan state committee will meet
here tomorrow and a large number of the
members are already on hand. This
meeting was called for the purpose of
making an apportionment, fixing the date
for the state convention, and selecting the
place. It Is possible that some other ques
tions will come up. but tonight it is the
consensus of opinion that the meeting will
be devoid of anything sensational.
Tho matter of nominating a candidate
for Senator in the smtc convention, it
has been thought, might be taken up by
the committee, but sentiment seems op
posed to touching upon the matter. How
ever, it is one of the possibilities of the
situation.
It Is thought likely the committee will
record Itself against the proposal if the
matter should be taken up. but there Is
nothing certain on that point. Those fa
voring the proposal take the ground that
the committee should not Interfere, leav
ing It to be decided by the people at the
primaries and in convention.
There are two candidates for the honor
of entertaining the convention Idaho
Falls and Lewlston. Pocatello Is also a
receptive candidate There is very little
agitation, however. In connection with the
subject, while there Is a well-developed
sentiment among members that It would
be better to select the capital city as
being best equipped to take cure of such
a gathering.
A large delegation of leaders from Fre
mont County is In town, but they all deny
that they have any special purpose In
view. There Is some feeling among com
mitteemen over the appointment of C. J.
Munson. bj; Chairman Brady, to take the
place of J. R. Collins, as committeeman
from Latah. Collins resigned upon being
named us postmaster of Moscow. It is
held the selection lay with the commit
tee, not with the chairman.

ter proposition, acceptable to us and
favorable to the welfare of the city ami
to everyone who hns.now.a railway or
who may have a railway in the future
seeking entrance to the city through the
open gateway to the city coming from
tliat direction, wc will be glad to accept
It, but up to this moment we have found
no better solution for our own benellt and
tho city's benefit than the franchise now
before the Council, asked by the United
Railways Company."
Opinion or T. T). Honcynmn.
"I think the road should be open to
all comers." said T. D. Honeymnn. of
the transportation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. "The Front
street line should not be confined to
any one or two roads. I think the mut
ter Is one the taxpayers ought to take
In hand proporly and any franchise
granted should be one whereby the city
will get increased revenue as the city
grows. The plan of ?1 a carjo be paid
to the city for every car moved over
the Front-street line seems a favorable
one to me. I believe the proposition of
the Willamette Traction Company Is
the more advantageous to the city than
the plan of the other applicant for Un
franchise up to this time."
"I do not think it Is practical," said
Tiiomas McCuskcr. Thcro must be
some one company in control of the
line; otherwise there will be a clash.
As two rival corporations would at
some time encounter certain things
upon which they could not agree, the
result would be that the clash might
be disastrous as litigation might fol
low and neither the city nor the public
would be benellted. I believe the fran
chise should be given to one company
but that It should be open so that any
road now In the city or which might
horeafter seek admission would be as
sured. that Its cars would be transport
ed on the same conditions as its com
petitors and this could bo established
by a provision In the franchise mnking
a maximum rate and also a condition
that no discrimination would be shown
In favor of any line.
What Thomas 3IcCttskcr Says.
'This would not work to the detri
ment of cither one of the two lines now
applying- any more than It would to
any line wnlcu might ask for admis
sion a year or two hence, consequently
I think there should be no Joint own
ership. In my knowledge of railroad
affairs of any lines where Joint "owner
ship exists traffic arrangements have
been made so other companies can
operate over certain lines. The Great
JJbrlhern has traffic arrangements for
operation over tho O. R. & X. but the
cars arc operated under the direction of
the O. R. & X. If an independent line or
the city owned the road, any company
applying could operate over It subject
to the rules of the city or the Indepen
dent company, but Joint ownership
would not be a success."
Thinks It Impracticable.
Edward Kewbcgln, acting president
of the Chamber of Commerce, in tho ab
sence of R. R. Hogc from the city, said
In discussing the Mayor's proposition
to settle the Front-street controversy:
"I do not think Joint ownership
from a business standpoint is practi
cable. It Is not possible for compcUtors
to do business in the same establish
ment wlthoat frlcUon and tho Council
should decide for one or the other of
the companies? making for the city tho
best bargain that It Is possible for
them to make."
