Suspicious Movements of Foreigner in
New York Harbor.
New York, Aug. 12. It Is reported
from Milford Haven, Wales, says a
Times dispatch from London, that an
alleged foreign spy !s in custody at
one of the outlying forts. A corre
spondent at the Welsh town tele
graphs:
"The suspicious movements of two
strangers in the village, near the for
tifications commanding the entrance to
the harbor, attracted attention and, by
direction of the military authorities,
a close watch was kept on them.
"The men hired a boat and rowed
about Dale Roads, where the new sub
marine boats are carrying out daily
exercises. It was also observed that
they spent a good deal of time In the
vicinity of the forts and searchlight
station.
"Under instructions from the mill
tary authorities, one of the men was
taken to Chapel Bay fort, where he
remains pending inquiries. The other
man is thought to have left the local
Ity."
It is believed, that the prisoner Is a
foreign newspaper correspondent who
may have lacked discretion.

long farrago of words saying much
and x meaning nothing; Bor did It
smother the question altogether, on the
ground that there were bo votes to bt
got by injuring anybody's filings on
either side.-. ' '
"The republican platform stands out
In the open and aays: Here I am.
Tou can either take me or leave me.'
"The democratlo platform darts out
sneakingly like - a Chatham street
second-hand clothing dealer, appealing
to each voter: 'My opinions are just
the same as yours. Vot art yours?
Come In and Til show you a coat that
vlll perfectly fit you. I can fit any man
of any siso.'
"In this world, men cannot get all
they want, nor half they desire. , They
must make a choice between what Is
set before them.
"And the Bee chooses Theodore
Roosevelt in preference to Alton
Brooks Parker.
"It chooses Roosevelt because, with
all his faults, he stands self-reliant In
his American manhood. Independent,
courageous, plucky, conscientious, un-
trammeled and un purchasable; shack
led to no syndicate of corporations; the
thrall of no criminal coterie waxing
fat upon Illegal profits; the automatic
mouthpiece of no predatory monetary
combination evading just laws now on
the statute books and murdering hon
est measures in the womb of legislation.
"It opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
cause he Is not a tree agent; because
he is but as clay in the hands of the
potter, and that potter August Bel
mont; because be la merely the graph
ophone of Wall street, and what little
the people have heard through the
machine has unmistakably revealed the
voice of his master; because he Is to
day but the instrument which the
trusts hope to use la disciplining
Theodore Roosevelt tor daring to place
the slightest barrier tn their way.
"It chooses Theodore Roosevelt be
cause it considers the president should
be a man who can be dealt with di
rectly. 'It opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
cause it does sot believe the people of
this great nation should select as pres
ident a Man Friday to any Robinson
Crusoe.
'It chooses Theodore Roosevelt be
cause one great Issue this time Is the
Man, and Roosevelt represents that in
all its courage and all its Americanism.
"It opposes Alton Brooks Parker be
cause he is merely the automatic rep
resentative of the machine.
"It chooses Theodore Roosevelt be
cause he, stands 'for the rlshts of the

been sentenced to be shot. The sen

pardon for Torres Is not looked for,

Labor Troubles Will Not Interfere With
Opening Next Month. " '
New York, Aug. 12. That the Rapid
Transit subway would be opened to
public traffic next month is the asser
tion made by Frank Hedley, an offi
cial of the Interborough Railway Com
pany. "The trains for passengers will be
running in the subway some time in
September," he said. "At 5 o'clock on
e morning to be announced the first
train will start. An hour and 30 min
utes later the full passenger service
will be in operation.
"The present labor troubles will not
be permitted to interfere with the
.opening of the service. All that re
mains to be done is til-laying and
painting in a few of the stations. If
these stations are not complete when
the road is ready for operation, we will
run the trains by them until they are
finished."

Important Ruling on Exemption
Fowls From Customs Duty.
New York, Aug. 12. In a ruling by
Judge H. M. Somerville, the board of
United States general appraisers has
decided that chickens are not house
hold effects. In so doing, the board
overruled a claim of Mrs. F. Lamarre
of Port Townsend, Wash., for free en
try for a coop of chickens.
Mrs. Lamarre ' contended that the
fowls were exempt from duty under
the clause of the tariff law providing
for the household effects of an immi

FOR ROOSEVELT.
A California Democratic Newspaper

The Daily Bee, the leading demo
cratic newspaper of Sacramento, Cali

port the democratic candidate for
president. It endorses the republican
candidate and platform In the follow
ing editorial:
"The Bee can say of Theodore Roose

Tiim while they do want Parker.
"And it can say of the republican
platform that whenever there was any
thing to be said on any public issue, it
said it. It did not hesitate, and stam-
Police Arrest Cripple Whs Threatened
Life of Weinhard.
Portland Telegram: John Toussl, a
self-confessed blackmailer, who sent
letters to Henry Weinhard, August
Erickson and Eugene Blaiier, threat
ening them with instant death if they
did not hand over to him a certain
amount of money, was run to earth
by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow
shortly before noon today. Following
clews and descriptions, the blackmailer
was captured In a restaurant near the
Union depot
The amount of money demanded by
Toussl, a cripple who is SO years of
age, and who wanted to return $300
of borrowed money to his father at
Marysville, Kan., was from Weinhard,
$1000; Erickson, $200, and Blazier,
$200. Weinhard received his letter two
days ago, and Blazier and Erickson re
ceived theirs late last evening.
Toussi made a full statement of his
deed at the city jail shortly after he
was arrested. He said: '
"My father sent me $300 to pay on
a homestead. I went up to Canada and
spent $50 of that amount. I did not
have enough to pay on the homestead
there. I tried to get work, but could
not. As I walked about the city my
leg hurt me at every step. I thought
that I could not walk any further. The
artificial leg I am wearing now has
been made over and Is no good. I
wanted to get another leg. I did not
think that I would get all the money.
"I went to Weinhard and asked him
for work, and he refused me. I went
to other places about the city and was
always turned down. 1 had to have
the money. I never gambled nor did I
ever steaL
"No, I did not Intend to kill these
men, but I wanted to make my bluff
good and strong. I had heard of this
plan being worked before, and so
thought I would try it I thought they
would send me a check."
Toussi is not a clever appearing
man, but has a determined look.
He will face three different charges
of threatening to kill.
