    THORNTON JUS
TELLS HIS STORY
Denies He Aided Brother in
Murder of Alleged
Despoiler.
FEARED BROTHER'S SUICIDE
Oeneral Hains Gave Captain Into
Thornton's Keeping to Prevent
Tragedy Drugged Peter and
Thus Staved Off Shooting.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Thornton Jen
kins Hains in his cell in the Queens
County Jail, made a statement today
In which he stave additional details of
the circumstances Immediately pre
ceding and leading up to the murder
of William K. Annis by Captain Peter
C. Halns. Jr.. at Bayside. L. I.
Thornton Hains was present at the
time of the shooting and Is charged
-with having: assisted his brother In
the commission of the crime by holding
sff. at the point of a revolver, mem
bers of the Bayside Tacht Club who
had attempted to go to the assistance
ff Annis. Both brothers are under
Indictment for murder In the first de
cree. While Thornton Halns. - unshaven,
rollarless and with a strand of rope
bout his waist doing duty as a' belt,
was relating his grim story, the cap
tain, gaunt and unkempt, stood less
than ten feet away, his long, monkish
bathrobe trailing the floor, his eyes
staring fixedly at the white walla of
his prison. He took no part In the
conversation.
Feared Attempt at Suicide.
"There have been so many untruths
Jn circulation about Peter and my
sjelf." said Thornton Hains, "that I
tnust ask the Associated Press to set
us right In the eyes of the world. I
am not a desperado and neither is Pe
ter. "On the day of the shooting I imag
ined Annis to be in Mount Vernon.
ilther Peter nor I had any Idea that
we would run across bim at Bayside.
3ver since the terrible night when my
brother's wife admitted her wrongdoings
with Annis. I had been Peter's constant
companion. General Hains feared that
Peter would kill himself, and so he
gave him over Into my keeping. I took
him with me to live and. In order to take
liis mind off his troubles. I took him out
with me days at a time, cruising in a
little motorboat that I had.
' Why Thornton Carried Gun.
"They have made much of the fact
that we went armed." he continued. "As
far as Peter was concerned. I did not
know he had a gun with him. It was
not until aftT he had used It on Annis
that I realised the situation. As for me.
the gun 1 had was the same I carried
for 14 years. Most of my life has been
spent at sea. where primitive passions
rule, and men In their cups need more
than word to subdue them.
They have also said that, when we ar
rived at the yacht club, our first move
wsa to ask where Annis was. There was
never anything said further of the trou
ble. We had not been on the ground long,
however, before the name of Annis came
to our ears. I immediately began to
urge Peter to come away. He could not
fee persuaded and after a while I gave
LP trying.
His Version of Shooting.
"It was so unexpected and It all hap
pened so quickly that I was powerless to
Interfere. As soon as Annis came up to
the float, Peter opened fire. It was over
In a second. A dozen men rushed for
Mm and I saw the big boatman grab him
y the throat and swing his fist to strike
bim. It was then I pulled my gun.
"I certainly had no feelings of affection
or regard for Annts. but I had saved
liim from being shot by Peter once before
and I would have done ao again if I bad
tad the chance.
Peter Determined to Kill.
"The night that Peter'a wife mad
the written acknowledgment of her
misconduct with Annis she urged that
J get word to Annis of what had hap
pened. Annis was expected at the
fort the next day and she wished to
warn him to stay away. She wrote
"the letter and gave it to me to mail.
Peter had seen her give me the letter,
however, and guessed to whom it was
addressed. Before I could remon
strate with him he had torn It open
end read its contents. It said:
"'All Is over between Peter and me;
lie knows everything. Don't come to
morrow "Peter put the letter in his pocket
and said:
"I want him to come. I have some
thing to say to him."
"From his ton I knew that he meant
to shoot Annis on sight.
"I determined that the only way to
prevent a meeting between the two
was to drug Peter. I went to Dr. Wil
son, the post surgeon, and got him to
give me a double dose of chloral. When
we got bsck to the house. I persuaded
Peter to take It. keeping htm in ignor
ance of what it was. When Annis
came the next day. Peter was still un
der the influence of the opiate. Annis
uw Peters wife and left arain for
New Tork. Twenty minutes i.fter ha
had gone. Peter awoke."
BITTERLY FOUGHT TO TIE
'Washington and Pullman Give Fine
Football Exhibition.
SKATTL.K. Wash". Nov. 8. iSpecial.)
Tlie game between the University of
Washington and Washington State Col
lege ended in a tie. to . Each team
made a place kick and a safety, but
failed to cross the goal line.
The contest was bitterly fought and
was one of the greatest exhibitions of
the college game ever seen In thla city.
During the first half Washington had
the better of Pullman, but the latter'a
greater weight told when the game ad
vanced, and when the whistle blew Pull
man was outplaying Washington.
Washington tried for goals from the
field six times and Pullman tried three
times. Three times during the game
the ball was brought within Pullman's
10-yard line, once to the 1-yard line, but
the heavy Pullman line was impreg
nable at critical times. Washington's
gi-al was never seriously threatened,
on the whole the score very well rep
resents the comparltive strength of the
teams.
For Washington Covle starred In re
turning punta and advancing the ball,
and Kaken and Muckelstone played
great games. Deanee played a mag
nificent game at tackle for Pullman,
and Cave. Wexler and Halm did good
work. reaner Is the biggest man ever
seen on a local gridiron and Is as classy
a player Is he is big.
Every man of the II played hard and
bitterly. The only thing to mar the
game was the dirty playing of Cherry,
the Pullman center.

Prince Frsu Ferdinand.
Frans Ferdinand, heir to the
throne of Austria, is the power
behind the throne. He rarely ap
pears In public and detests pub
licity. He has no more regard
for the usual standing rules of
international-relations than he
has for the aspirations of his
countrymen. He has no interest
whatever In popular movements
or ambitions. The people are al
together beneath him. There Is
no love lost between him and the
aged Emperor Frans Josef. But,
owing to the family laws of the
Hapsburg dynasty, the Emperor
Is forced not only to listen to
what the Archduke says, but is
also compelled to take his wishes
into consideration, whatever they
may be. He married the Countess
Chotek. a governess In the fam
ily of Archduke Frederic, com
pelling by the force of his In
domitable will the consent of the
Emperor to this morganatic mar
riage. with reference to requesting Governor
Willson to issue requisition papers upon
Governor-elect Marshall, of Indiana, after
he takes his seat, for the return of W.
8. Taylor and Charles Finley for trial
upon the Indictments pending against
them in the- Franklin County Circuit
Court, charging them with complicity in
the murder of William Goebel.
Taylor was the Republican contestee
for the Governorship and Finley was Sec
retary of State in the previous adminis
tration, his term having expired several
weeks before the murder of Goebel oc
curred. Three Republican Governors of
Indiana since the murder have refused
to deliver the two men to the Kentucky
authorities for trial on the ground that
they would not ne given fair trials.
SOUTH NEED HAVE NO FEAR

Danger of Cut in Representation.
NEW TORK. Nov. 8. A Washington
special to the Times says, that . Presi

representation In the House are given
In a letter to Wyndham E. Meredith,
president of the Virginia Bar Associa
tion, made public today. The letter,
which is dated October 27, says In
part:
"I do not believe there is a single in
dividual of any consequence who seri
ously dreams of cutting down South
ern representation and I should have
no hesitation In stating anywhere and
at any time that, as long as the elec
tion laws are constitutionally enforced
without discrimination to color, the
fear that Southern representation in
Congress will be cut down is both Idle
and absurd.

REFUSES SUPPORT
TO NON PARTISANS
Men Who Seek Office, but Dis
own Party, Repudiated
by Thomas.
EDICT IN OPEN LETTER
Democratic Chairman Declines to
Say Whether Chamberlain la
Among Those at Whom Mes
sage Is Directed.
A political enigma is presented In a let
ter, addressed to the Democrats of Mult
nomah County, which was Issued yester
day by George H. Ttiomas. chairman of
the Democratic Central Committee for
Multnomah County. In the communica
tion referred to. Chairman Thomas ex
pressly announces that so long as he
continues to be chairman of the Demo
cratic Central Committee members of the
party posing in the nonpartisan role need
hot expect any support from the Mult
nomah County organization of the minor
ity party.
"In vour official declaration do you
classify Governor Chamberlain, candidate
for United States Senator, as a nonparti
san?" was asked of Chairman Thomas
when he submitted his letter.
Will Mention "o Names.
"I am mentioning no names," responded
Chairman Thomas, who evinced no en
thusiasm over the candidacy of Governor
Chamberlain for the Senatorshlp. "So far
as Governor Chamberlain is concerned. I
consider that he had made his fight prac
ticallv before I assumed the chairman
ship "of the Democratic organization of
Multnomah County."
Incidentally Chairman Thomas remarked
that with Governor Chamberlain's as
sistance in June the Democrats polled
approximately 13.000 votes in Multnomah
County while in the Presidential elec
tion, without the assistance of Governor
Chamberlain, whose aspirations for the
Senatorship caused him to keep out of a
partisan fight, the Democrats polled about
4000 votes less. From this assertion It is
apparent that the Democrats now believe
It would have been possible for them to
carry Multnomah County with the as
sistance on the stump of Governor
Chamberlain, since Taft carried the coun
ty by a plurality of only 7949.
The general tone of Chairman Thomas'
letter reflects the feeling that the Demo
crats of this state are not altogether dis
couraged by the disastrous results of the
Presidential election. There is manifested
a willingness on the part of the organi
zation In this county, so far as It can
be expressed by Chairman Thomas, not
only to maintain an organization but to
enlarge its scope and at the same time
confine Its application to partisan Inter
ests exclusive of nonpartisans who would
subjugate the party to their own selfish
political advancement. In other words.
Chairman Thomas proposes, so long as he
Is retained as the official head of the
Democratic organization in this county
to maintain a strictly Democratic organi
zation or to surrender the field entirely to
usurpers, particularly nonpartisans, who
are charged with making the Democratic
party merely a side issue in the promo
tion of their personal political ambitions.
Chairman Thomas' letter to the Demo

crats of Multnomah County follows:
When we entered the recent Presidential
campatKn the county reritration showed
more than four Republicans to one Demo-
CFThe net results of the straight Demo
cratic fight that followed was a vote of less
than I to 1 at the polls In favor of the
Republican party. Evidently the argu
ment was on the Democratic side.
The Democratic party Is proud of the
first voters and welcomes to the party the
young men, and the older ones too, who
contributed so substantially to Democratic
Increase. ,
And now as to the future of the local
Democracy:
To call a Democrat a "non-partisan does
-not Improve his business capacity nor en
dow him with greater integrity. It is an
attempt to eclipse the name Democrat and
to delude.
The Democratic party will remain an
Indifferent minority party while its mem
bers lack sufficient virility to resent evi
dent embarassment at the name Democrat
upon the part of chief candidates.
Jfo Cse for Side-Steppers.
Before we can expect our fellow citizens
to respect us or our party It Is essential
that Democrats exercise the Americanism
that has the spunk to punish a side-stepping
non-partisan. If Democratic candi
dates and the county committee are worthy,
there Is no excuse for non-partisanship. If
either are unworthy, select others.
The Democratic party Is regularly or
ganized in. this county under the primary
law. If there Is to be a non-partisan party
let it name Its precinct committeemen
and organize lawfully by electing a chair
man, etc. The people are entitled to know
who are the responsible persons behind non
partisan candidates.
The Issues of the Democratic National
platform are present day Issues. Our pol
ices are right or they are wrong. If wrong,
the policies should and will fall; if right
they will prosper and the party will in
time overcome all opposition.
We have no apologies to offer. If we
would win we must be aggressive in the
combat for Democratic principles.
It is my purpose, officially and per
sonally, so far as my influence extends, to
oppose the man or men who pose as non
partisan to the public and at the same
time try to use the Democratic organiza
tion to promote their private political for
tunes. Let the party be stronger than the
individual as the Nation is stronger than
the state.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Vice-president Fair

"Hand In hand with the construction
of the Panama canal should go the im
provement of our great rivers so as to
Insure an adequate stage of water and
reasonable charges for the transportation
of the products of our farms and fac

"The recent adoption of a constitutional

powering the Legislature to authorize a

the Mississippi River, Is an Important and
significant step and we can Indulge the
belief that in the course of a few years
upon the completion of this enterprise
and the Panama canal, lumber and other
products from the Pacific Coast will be
delivered at Chicago by an all-water route

many improvements and advantages of

from the completion of both of these
great undertakings."

PLANS IN OFFICE
Will Develop Laws to Regu

Roosevelt's Work.
GREAT CHANGE EFFECTED
President-elect Says Xeed la Sow
Legislation for Prompt Discov
ery and Punishment of Cor
poration Evils.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8. (Special.) The
World tomorrow will print a dispatch
from its special staff correspondent trav
eling with President-elect Taft. dated
from Cincinnati, to whom Mr. Taft gave
a statement forecasting what the Nation
might expect from him as Its executive.
It says in part:
"The Republican victory means pri
marily that the Roosevelt administration
is approved by the American people. In
the enormous business development of
the last 12 years there crept in corpor
ate abuses, lawlessness of the great cor
porations, among the railroads and In
fidelity to financial trusts. There came
among the people a moral awakening, a
quickening of public conscience, and the
exponent of that feeling the man who
led public opinion and who guided Its
expression was Theodore Roosevelt. He
asked Congress to help him with needed
legislation, and it did. and In a few
short years steps have been taken to
stamp out those abuses. A change has
come over our great business corpora
tions and railroads that It is hard to
over-estimate.
"There Is more to be done along this
line, not so much In the way of originat
ing correctional legislation, for the path
has been blaxed. but in the development
of machinery for the efficient enforce
ment of the measures now on the stat
ute books, and some legislation making
certain, exact and prompt the discovery
of corporate evils and their prompt and
Just correction and punishment.
"Great corporations call them trusts,
If that Is tho popular term when con
ducted within the law are a considera
ble part of tho force that makes for the
prosperity of the country. I am In favor
of combinations of capital. Just as I am
In favor of combinations of labor, when
those combinations ars rightly con
ducted. Make Anti-Trust Laws Efficient.
"My record on labor, my attitude to
ward labor, were .misrepresented from
the beginning of the campaign. I be
lieve that I convinced intelligent labor
men of tho country that I had been
misrepresented. I proved to them that,
far from being an enemy of the work
Ingman. I was not only his friend, so
long as ho conducted himself within the
law. but that further, while on the
bench. In an opinion I laid the founda
tion for a prosperous and effective labor
union as It Is conducted today."

head of the commission appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate
farm life, and Gilford Pinchot, United
States forester and chairman of the
National Conservation Commission,
were among the speakers at a meeting
tonight of the American Academy of
Political and Social Science.
Professor Bailey said:
"The President's idea in appointing
the farm commission was to establish
a body to maintain our natural re
sources and after that a commission to
utilize our natural wealth.
"The- commission, it has been said,
was appointed for political purposes:
namely, that the agricultural vote
might be won for the Administration,
but I wish to say In emphatic denial
of that statement that the President
had this commission in mind for more
than a year previous to the recent con
ventions and there was nothing of a
political aspect in its appointment"
Attempt to Hold-up Train.
COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 8. An attempt to
rob Big Four train No. 18 from Cincin
nati due in Columbus at 9:55 o'clock was
foiled last night by the prompt discovery

Hospital and a man who says his name
is Patrick Mahem and that his home Is
in Cleveland is held by the police as a
suspect pending identification by the
dining-car crew.
When the porter discovered the men
he called the dining-car conductor,
Reese, who Immediately tackled the two.
He first grabbed Emmitt, who Jerked out
a small knife, cut the conductor across
the hand and then made his way to the
platform and climbed to the top of the
car. As the speeding train made a sud
den lurch nearirn; the Union Station he
was thrown to the ground. He is be
lieved to have sutrered a fractured skull.
Mahem was arrested later at the Da
vidson Hotel, near the the station. He
admitted having been on the train, but
said that he had been a regular pas
senger and was traveling from Spring
field to Columbus.

Syracuse Chancellor Declares With
Taffs Election, Day of Big
Stick Is Over.
BOSTON, Nov. 8 In an interview last
night, Chancellor James R. Day. of Syra
cuse University gave his opinion of W.
H. Taft and John D. Archbold. The
Chancellor is on board the steamer Cretic
now at this port on her way from New
York to Mediterranean ports.
Chancellor Day said:
"Now that Mr. Taft Is elected. I do not
expect to see the attacks of the present
Administration upon the business In
terests of the country. The day of the
big stick is over.
"I expect Mr. Taft to steady things. I
think he is a great piece of ballast. I
expect to see the country come back
quickly into rational conditions."
When the subject of Standard Oil cor
respondence read during the campaign
was mentioned the Chancellor said:
"John D. Archbold is a remarkably
liberal minded man. I have many of his
letters I wish I could make public. Some
of them contain discussions of the labor
question and the laboring men that are
most wise in suggestions. The great
trouble with the Standard Oil Company is
that It has been too close mouthed. I
have told Mr. Archbold that such a policy
was a mistake and I think he has come
to see that I was right."
