page srx ashlavd tidings Monday, A u (rust 5, 191- PRES. TAFTjS NOTIFIED Senator Hoot Makes Speech Thurs day Says President Secured Nomination Fairly. Washington. In a brief and for mal speech by Senator Elihu Root of JVew Vork, President Taft was for mally notified Thursday that he had received the republican nomination for the presidency at the recent con vention in Chicago. Root, in his speech, laid particular stress on the claim that Taft's title to the nomination was as "clear and unimpeachable as the title of any candidate of any party since political conventions began." Referring to Roosevelt, Root said: "For the second time in the his tory of the republican party, part of the delegates refused to be bound by the action of the convention. The reason assigned for this course is dis satisfaction with the decision of cer tain contests in making up the tem porary roll of the convention. Those contests were decided by that tri bunal upon the law which has gov erned the republican party for more than forty years, which imposed the duty of deciding such contests. "So long as those decisions were made honestly and in good faith, all persons are bound to accept them as conclusive in making up a temporary roll of the convention. Neither in the facts nor in the arguments pro duced before the national committee, the committee on credentials, the convention itself, nor otherwise, does there appear just ground for im peaching the honesty and good faith of the committee's decisions. "You believe in a rule of law, rather than in a rule of men, and realize that safety of nations and of individuals is to establish and abide by declared principles. You are in sympathy with the great practical rules for the right conduct of the American people, set up for guidance and self-restraint in constitutional limitations. You know that to sweep away these wise rules of self-restraint would not be progress but de cadence. "You know the great declarations of principles in the constitution can not be an effectual guide to conduct in any other way than by judicial judgment upon attempts to violate them, and you maintain independ ence, dignity and authority for the courts of the United States." In acceptance of the honor, the president said: "I accept the nomination you ten der with profound gratitude to the republican party which has thus hon ored me twice. I accept It as ap proval of what I have done under its mandate and as an expression of con fidence that in a second administra tion I will serve the public well." PRISONER ST AUS TURKIC. One Is Dead and Two Fatally Wound ed Hy Convict. lxs Angeles, Cal. One man was killed and two others fatally wound ed as a result of an encounter be tween prisoners in the county jail, shortly after 7 o'clock Thursday morning. C. H. Mullen, serving one year for contributing to the delin quency of a minor, was killed, and Lewis W. Noell and Martin Medozu, short termers, are in the hospital fa tally wounded. John Valshik, serving five months for felonious assault, was placed in a dungeon, charged with murder Yalshikk, who, because of several minor infractions of jail rules, had been set to work In the kitchen and dining room, was told this morning to wait on the table. He had just reached the table where his three vic tims were seated, when suddenly he plunged a knife, which he had car ried in his right hand concealed un der a large tray, into Mullen's heart. .Mullen fell to the floor dead. Valshik then attacked Noell and Mendoza, seated next to Mullen. Be fore the frenzied man could be over powered he nad inflicted frightful wounds upou the two prisoners. Noell suffered two deep knife cuts across his back and one arm was nearly severed. Meudoza was stabbed In the breast near the heart, and a great gash was opened across liis face. At the receiving hospital, to which both men were rushed, it was stated that neither would live. Prisoners at the jail declared there had been absolutely no trouble be tween Valshik and the man he at tacked, and none could give any .reason for his murderous outbreak. MESSAGES ltUKI X(J I X. lYHKhiiiRton Receiving Daily Coin plaints From Mexico. El Paso, Texas. Scores of mes sages have ben sent to Washington from El Paso and other border towns, appealing to the United States to take some steps which will secure protection for Americans in Mexico. In many instances messages are being sent in the names of entire rommunUies as in the case of one from Marfa addresed to Congress man W. R. smith. The message . said: "li the United States cannot han dle the Mexican situation, let t're jsidlo county handle it." The appeals, in most cases, are be ing sent to congressmen and senat ors, but some of them have been di rected to the White House. Jas. C. Dahlmann, mayor of Oma ha. Neb., writes: "1 have taken Foley Kidney Pills and they have j?iven me a great deal of relief, so I cheerfully recommend them."

New York. If it can. be proved that Lieutenant Becker instigated the murder of Rosenthal, the crime cannot be condoned for any exposure of graft that he might be able to produce," said District Attorney Whitman. This statement was by way or answer to the talk of immun ity for Becker in event of his disclos ing the operation of the system. "However,'' Whitman added, "it must be presumed that he inno cent until he is proved guilty." Authorities are investigating a re port that James Verrella, a saloon keeper who was shot by gangsters early Wednesday, was killed in re venge for his betrayal of "Dago Frank" Cirofici, an alleged member of the gang which killed Rosenthal. More than fifty witnesses will be subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury to tell what they know of the alleged blackkmail system. The information obtained from Rose, who says he was. Becker's collector from the gambling houses, will be susceptible of proof by the district attorney. Rose said some of the gamblers paid as high as $5,000 a month for immunity, others fifty and one hundred, according to the extent of the operations. "Big Jack" Selig,' to whom Rose said he sent word to get men to slay Rosenthal, will appear when wanted. His counsel has told the public pros ecutor that Selig would tell every thing he knew of the case. Sworn statements tending to show that the annual graft collected by high police officials in New York city from gambling houses and other ille gal resorts has amounted, within the last year, to $2,400,000, are in the hands of District Attorney Whitman. The annual yield or $2,400,000 protection money was equally divid ed, according to the story told by Rose, among four high officials of the police department, one of them being Becker, and from other evi dence the district attorney has col lected, he has reason to suspect that each $600,000 was further distribut ed. In other words, there were four separate systems or bureaus of graft collection, each headed by a high police official. Mr. Whitman, it was learned, has the names ot tne other three police officials and nis further efforts will be directed toward strengthening the evidence against them. One of the officials named, it was learned, holds a position at headquarters, and is in a strict sense a civilian employe. James Verrella, proprietor of the Dante Cafa at 163 West Inirty fourth street, was murdered on the third floor of his resort Wednesday morning. Investigation showed that he was shot in revenge for his betrayal of Dago Frank" Cirofici, a member of the party which killed Herman Ros enthal. William Lorenzo, one of the men under arrest for killing Verella, is a well-known "gun fighter." He is believed to have been dele gated with his companion, Albert Contento, to kill Verella for betray- ng "Dago Frank." (RANTS PASS HEX KKST. Excels Miss Cot-vallis In Achieve ment) First Four Months. The record of "Miss Corvallis," the famous hen at the Oregon Agri cultural College that died the other day at the age of 29 months, after virtually laying herself to death, has been challenged by U. L. Upson of Grants Pass. Mr. Upson cites the remarkable egg-laying activity of one of his hens, 'No. 21," as beating the mark set by Miss Corvallis. Miss Corvallis was 9 months old when she laid her first egg, and laid 90 eggs in her first four months of laying. No. 21 began laying at seven months, and laid 92 eggs in her first four months. Here are the comparisons as compiled by Mr. Up son: Miss Corvallis.

Spirited Brush Between Two Polo Playing Society Women 'V':'H 1 ' T . ;. .. . ii : ; mm- Photo by American Press Association. SMART New York society Is suffering from no, one should say, enjoying a sharp attack of pololtis. Probably the visit of the British polo team last year and the victory of the American players gave the game its present Doom. At any rate, this season and most particularly so holds of polo has always been the Meadowbrook club at Westbury, N. Y.. the men of which have figured largely as champions at home and abroad.' Now the wives and sisters of these men have formed a club of their own- the Meadow Lark with their own field and are taking up the game In earnest The men coach the women and play with them on mixed teams. Among the best known players are Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock and Mrs. J. Watson Webb, who are seen in the illustration in a spirited rush for the ball, Mrs. Hitchcock In the foreground. The Hitchcock family Is well represented on the Dole field, not only Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock, son Thomas being enthusiastic players.
