Mr. Perkins defends his course In
supporting Colonel Roosevelt for the
Presidential nomination and denies that
J. P. Morran is secretly behind him In
the fight for Rooserelt.
at1a Not AetaatlaK Motive.
Mr. Perkins letter in part aaya:
"You and your asaoclates have re
peatedly tried to place me before my
fellow citlsena In the light of being a
man actuated only by sordid, improper
motives In what I say and do. In
every possible way attempta have been
made to convince the people that I am
against your candidate and for Mr.
Roosevel:. because of my connection
with the Steel Corporation and the
Harvest! company.
-Cannot you that It Is Impossi
ble for me to be opposing Mr. Taft
recause of the. films: of the steel suit
or the threatened suit against the Har
vester company? For. If I were act
uated by the base motlvea that you
Impugn to me. I would be with you
heart and soul. In your efforts to re
nominate Mr. Taft: for what more
could a sordid, selfish corporation man
want thn to have hla corporation dis
solved, on paper. In such a way as to
bring; Increased profits to inside ";k
hotders and Increased cost to outside
consumers, aa In the case of the Stand

"You have persistently connected my
name w'h the Harvester company in
particulir In giving oot information to
the effect that I was contributing; mon
y to the Roosevelt cause and have
done thla In such a way as to try to
convey the Impression that it was a
very Improper and wicked th'ng to be
going; on and that the Roosevelt om
mlttee ought to be ashamed to have
me or my monev connected with Its
C-The latest attempts In this direction
have been to call attention to the con
tribution t made to the New York cam
paign prior to the recent so-called pri
mary and also the publication of the
Harvester correspondence. There Is a
peculiar business about all these at
tacks on me In view of the following;:
"First. Otto T. Bannard Is recognised
throughout the country as Mr. Taft's
warm personal friend and staunch
supporter. He also Is president of a
large trust company in the very center
of the Wall street district. In 10 he
ran for Mayor of this city on the Re
publican ticket. I supported him and
personally contributed more money to
his campaign than I did to the recent
primary fight here In New York.
Taft !Brted. T.
S-cond. when Mr. Stlmson. now a
memtxr of Mr. Taft's Cabinet, recently
ran fur Governor of this slate. I sup
ported him with all my might and
main. I personally contributed exactly
the same amount to his campaign that
I contributed to the recent so-called
prhnary In this city.
Tnlrd. when Mr. Taft ran for Presi
dent If 190. I supported him In every
way that I could. During the Tsft
tampaign of 1908 Senator Crane called
on me and telephoned me repeatedly
about the financial progress of that
tampalgn. being particularly solicitous
as to what could be done for the Stata
of Massachusetts.
"Wacn the Taft campaign was over
the treasurer found that he had some
bris he could not pay. amounting to
about 13.000.
"Ha told me he was unable to raise
this money from anyone. It was evi
dent that the friends and relatives of
the newly elected President took no In
terest in paying left-over bills after Mr.
Taft hvd been elected. I was asked to
lend the committee 115.000. which I did.
taking the note of George R. Sheldon,
treasurer, which as yet has not been
'? ... . V
. !' AeMleocvaee Dealed.
"All the above activities on my part
covered a period when I svas not only
connected with the Steel Corporation
and the International Harvester Com
pany, as I am now. but when I also
was a mem or r ui m. - -gan
at Cot. a director In the National
City Bank, and other prominent Wall
atreet financial Institutions from which
I have since retired: and if. according
to your view of things. It la a heinous
crime for a great political cause to ac
cept from me now. It must have been"
more heinous to accept It in the above
named three instances.
The rumor Is even being circulated
that Mr. Morgan and others are secretly
behlnd me in the present fight, and. In
some roundabout way. are furnishing
the money that is being used. Thla Is
a downright falsehood. There Is not a
scintilla of truth In It.
-The recent publication of the har
vester correspondence waa clearly done,
first, to make a scurrilous attack upon
Mr. Roosevelt: second, to connect me.
through the harvester company, with
the Roosevelt campaign: third, to affect
' the Massachusetts primaries.
-In spite of the tact that the Senate,
several daya before, had called for the
correspondence from 1S04 down to date,
your candidate deliberately caused to
be given out only one years corre
spondence." The letter challenges the Administra
tion to publish all its correspondence
with the harvester company during the
last IS months.

PARIS BANDITS KILLED
(Continued From First PT.
plosion followed. This operation was
repeated -twice. Then came a terrific
report, and a column of smoke and
debris shot skyward.
All the while the bandits were fir
ing, but no one was hit. As the front
wall collapsed with-a crash the police
and Republican Guards rushed up. On
the ground floor they found Dubois
dead. They mounted a narrow stair
way and observed a man streaming
with blood, his left arm In a sling,
crouched behind a mattress. Blood was
pouring from wounds In his head and
chest. "Curse you!. Curse you I" he
cried as he pulled the trigger of an
empty revolver. He reached for poi
son In his belt, but before he could
take It he was overpowered, carried
down and placed In an automobile.
People Cry for Reveaare.
It was then that the crowd was
changed Into a violent mob howling
tor the death of the bandit.
Soldiers protected him with the butts
of their carbines, but many blows fell
on Bonnot . before the automobile
started pff. Uterallv crushing down a
score of persons In clearing a path
war, and speeded to Paris.
Bonnot was unconscious and died on
his way to the hospital. The doctors
i
PEnKIXS.
found II wounds. There were two
bullets In his hand and two in his ab
domen. Dubois had three wounds. He
wore a be.lt containing poison, but it
was thought Improbable ho had time
to swallow the poison.
On Bonnot was found a statement,
consisting for the most part of an
anarchistic confession of faith, and
concluding with the words, believed to
have been feverishly scribbled at th
last moment: "I die. Jules Bonnot."
Bon oot Heavily Armed.
He was armed with four revolvers
and a carbine.
It is estimated that 200.000 persons
visited the scene, during the day. They
saw only the ruins of the garage.
The medical examination showed
that Bonnots left arm had been shat
tered by a bullet. It was an old
wound, however, and he undoubtedly
shot himself accidentally when he
murdered Jouin. This explains why
his arm'wRS in a sling. Gamier. Bon
not's co-chief. Is still at large, but the
police sny they are on his track and
expect to capture him.
The Paris newspapers give promin
ence to the fact that the garage retreat
of the bandits from which they con
ducted the series of automobile
crimes, was owned by Alfred Fromen
tln. known as "the millionaire anar
chist." Fromcntln was a friend of
Francisco Ferrer, founder of the mod
ern school in Hpain. whom he fre
quently visited at Barcelona. In 1909,
after the execution of Ferrer, he pub
lished a pnmphlet entitled, "The Truth
6n the Work of Ferrer."
Aaarrhlata Have Villa Colony.
Fromentln founded at Choisy-Le-Roi
several small villas which he called the
"Red Nest." They were occupied al
most exclusively by persons of anarch
istic belief.
Fromentln's friends Insist that he Is
the enemy of violence and that If his
property was the headquarters of the
bandits it must have been without his
knowledge.
Bonnot was about 10 years old. He
formerly served In the engineer corps
of the army. He was an expert chauf
feur, the real brains of the band, and
always was at the steering wheel of
the car when the bandits were operat
ing, x.
About 30 members of the band now
have been arrested or are out of the
way. Evidence In the possession of
the police shows they have pursued
their career by a marvelous system,
having agents in all parts of Europe.

Americans Criticised for Iarity of
Courts Italian Methods Held
.Much Iletter.
ROME. April 2S. (Special.) The
Ministry of Orace and Justice has on
several occasions solicited Information
from the United States Government as
to Porter Charlton, who killed his wife
and packed her body In a trunk which
he threw Into Lake Como, two years
ago. The last reply received was that
Charlton would be handed over to the
Italian authoritlea for trial within at
least another year. He was being kept
under medical supervision by the
American authorities.
This reply Is unfavorably commented
upon here. The Italians say the Amer
icans should not criticise delays In Italy
under the law, since such dllatorlness
In the administration of Juatlc'e appar
ently prevail In that country.
The Judicial Investigation which
must be concluded before the trial of
Charlton will take at least a year, so
It Is not likely that he will be brought
to trial before 1914, or four years after
the crime was committed.
It Is believed here that if the young
man had been extradited promptly he
would have been set free much sooner
than this, either by being acquitted by
Jury or being released after having
served a short sentence.

BOSTON'. April 28. The answer of
Massachusetts to the campaigns of five
Presidential candidates La Follette.
Roosevelt, Taft, Clark and Wilson, will
be made at the primaries Tuesday.
Owing to the complicated ballot and
the abrence of group voting it Is ex.
pectel that no definite result will be
known until the next day and it may
be a tl-y or two before the actual Iden
tity of the 36 delegates to the National
convention is known.
As tne campaign has been one of the
most rtrenuous in yeara It Is expected
that 400,000 voters will go to the polls.
Issue May Be fractal.
The presence of both President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt in the state dur-inn-
vi j l (i u f ii ir tiniirs nf the campaign
and comments from political writers
outside of the state have been taken
as indicating that Massachusetts may
make or mar the political fortunes of
the President and the Colonel.

to choose a majority of district dele

state with a total preference vote in
the state for Taft.
Tea Democrats for Foaa.
On the Democratic ticket there are
15 ca'iuldates for delegates at large, ten
of whom are pledged to Governor Foss
and one to Governor Wilson, while four
are without pledges. At least three of
the Democratic candidates for delegates
at large who are pledged for Foss seem
certain of election, and It Is notable
that a'though Governor Wilson might
win the Presidential preference he could
not obtain one delegate at large.
It is generally expected that a ma
jority of the Massachusetts delegation
to the Baltimore convention will be on
record as favoring Foss. although he
says t e Is not a candidate.
Rival Claims Vary Widely.
Claims of the political managers vary
greatly. General Edgar R. Champlain.
of the Taft forces, predicted today that
the President would secure at least 34
out of 3 delegates. City Councillor
Hale, the Roosevelt manager, claims
victory in the Second, Third, Fourth,
Sixth. Seventh. Ninth. Tenth. Eleventh
and Fourteenth Congressional Districts,
and a fighting chance for the eight
delegates at large.
Governor Wilson has been the only
Democratic candidate to speak In Mas

all our other appliances are the BEST KNOWN TO SCIENCE.

LAKEVIEW WANTS SEWERS
City Council Begins Campaign to
Build $40,000 System This Year.
LAKEVIEW, Or.. Feb. 25. (Special.)
With the appointment of G. W. Rice,
chief engineer of the Lakeview Irriga
tion & Power Company, to draw the
plans and estimate the cost, the City
Council has begun a campaign for a
sewer system to be constructed this
year. It is believed that the system
will cost about $40,000. The natural
drainage of the city will save thous
ands of dollars of expense on the work.
It is stated that the city will issue
time bonds to meet the cost of the im
provement, the securities to carry a
reasonable rate of interest.
City Attorney AV. Lair Thompson has
nearly completed the draft of a new
city charter which is necessary before
