Wlgfall was captured last night and
placed In the county Jail here. A mob
surrounded the building threatening
to lynch the negro, but was finally

Wlgfall chopped down the door of

the negro Into the hills where he was
captured last night and later lodged
in the Rawlins county Jail.

BE WIPED
Tlie Situation Analyzed.
London Oct. 2. With France active
ly moving to prevent a war, which has
practically started in the Balkans,
Great Britain non-committal, and
Germany and Austria practically In a
Btate of armed neutrality, the great
puzzle of the near Eastern embrogllo
today Is "what will Russia do? Does
the Czar waht war?"
While the British foreign office re.
fuses to IsBue any statement on the
expected attack upon Turkey by
Greece, Burgarla, Servia and Montene
gro, it 1b felt In diplomatic circles
that Sir Edward Grey will do all he
can to prevent nn explosion. His
hands, however, are admittedly ham
pered. While Britain, for years, has
Bhlolded the Turkish empire from dis
memberment, the growing Influence
of Germany ft Constantinople, many
say, forbodes ft new alignnment of the
powers. In which England probably
will resign from the role of the sul
tan's protector, and will align with
Italy, Russia and the Balkan states as
as against the mutually Interested al
liance of Austria, Germany and Tur
key, RiinbIii and England Together.
This view of the British position, It
Is said, 'In semi-official circles, is
strongly supported by the presence of
Russia's foreign envoy, Sazanoff, In
London. The relations between Great
Britain and Russia, since the practical
agreement arrived at for the partition
of Persia, are very close, and there
are those who openly predict that If
Britain Is forced to take an open hand
In the Balkans her Influence will he

plan to tear Macedonia from Turkey.
Russln Piny Deep Gnme.
Russia, the chancellories bf Europe
believe, is playing a deep game. When
Bosnia and Herzegovlne were recently
absorbed by Austria it is known that
Russia would have opposed the grab
by force of arms had Bhe been pro
pared. , At that time, however, Poland
lay open to a possible assault of Ger
many, Austria's alley, and the czar,
with a very bad grace, was forced to
acquiesce. Today Russia's levies fill
Poland, and It Is shrewdly suspected
that they are there to repair the form
er weak spot, and to lend substantial
backing to Servia, Bulgaria, Montene
gro and Greece, In case Germany
should attempt to" call a halt on their
Balkan operations, by a threat of
armed Intervention.
Russia's preparations, too, are taken
with a view to checkmating any move
by Austria to aggrandize herself In
the general outbreak which may follow
a Balkan war.' Austria's Bosnian
grab evoked the bitterest resentment
In Servia and Bulgaria and the former
Is determined if war really develops
to absorb the Sandjak of Novlpazar,
while Bulgaria will grab for Macedo
nia, Montenegro for at least a part of
Albania. Greece surely will annex Its
long-desired island of Crete, with, pes
slbly, a portion of the Vilayet of Sa
lonlka, sufficient to forever cut off
Ionia from Albania, Monnster and the
Turkish provinces lying to the north.

Salem, Mass., Oct. 2. That the

discharge of Joseph Ettor, Arturo
Glovlnnlttl and Antonio Caruso, on
trial for the murder of Anna Loplzzo,
who met death during the big Indus

defense attorneys. Scores of talesman

bility to act because of confirmed be
liefs that the accused men are Inno

"We do not think," said one of the
defense attorneys today, "that the re
maining talesmen can supply enough
men to fill the box. If the case Is sus
pended until another venire is called,
we will ask that the prisoners be re
leased on ball."
District Attorney Atwlll believes
that the talesmen are being intimidat

radically wrong. Perhaps the tales

had not seen for thirty-two years. It
Is needless to say that he did not
know him. One of his brothers bears
a Btrlklng resemblance to President
Taft and during the stay In Milwau
kee one of the newspapers there took
the gentleman's photograph and a cut
was made which appeared on the
front puge of one of the leading pa
pers as "Taft's double." Mr. Spring
er and family enjoyed the trip very
much, but as Is usually tho case with
Sulcm people going on eastern trips
the best part of It was the home-coming.
When they arrived there the
weather was scorching hot and when
they left they nearly froze. The party
went by way of Omaha, and In return

Angeles.

Life was crushed out of Jesse Mc

about U o'clock at a point on the
Eola road a distance of about 3V4
miles from Salem by an overturned
automobile. Mr. McCorkle loft Salem
a short time before 11 o'clock alone on
his way to his farm near Independ
ence. Little Is known as to how the
accident happened, as the first that
was known of the unfortunato Inci
dent was when Roy Hlxon and Roy
.King and two lady companions, saw
the overturned auto and discovered
the dead man under it. At the point
where the auto turned over the road

Tho auto struck this grade on one
side, turned to the left and was final-
ly overturned, lnndlng on top of Mr.
McCorkle, who In all probability was
Instantly killed.
DEAD BODY
WAS UNDER
IRS AUTO
From the fact that the dead man separation of Orlando NeelandB from
was found with his face downward Inkjagge A. Neelands. The parltes were
a pool of several Inches of mud and
water, the theory Is advanced that he
was Btrnngled and drowned in the,
slime and mud, as there are no marks
on the body. The tracks left by the
wheols of his auto Indicate that he
wbb driving very fast, as the auto
leaped through the air some distance
berore striking lis last resting place
bottom-side up. The machine was in
gear and the running gears are appar
ently uninjured. It Is possible that
being benumbed by the cold he fell
asleep while driving, with the fatal re
sults Indicated.

Washington, Oct. 2. Verification of
John D. Archibald's testimony that the
Standard Oil contributed $100,000 ot
Roosevelt's 1904 campaign was given
the senate campaign contributions In
vestigation committee here this after
noon by George Sheldon, who was
treasurer of the Republican national
commltteo in 1908. The contribution,
Sheldon said, was made under Arch
bold's name. Other contributors, Shel
don said, were J. Pierpont Morgnn,
Henry Frlck, and George Gould. Each
of the last three, he said, contributed
$100,000.
Cannon Was First Up.
Washington, Oct. 2. In the examin
ation this morning Cannon tustlf led used worse."
that he audited th'e'books of the late Both Chairman Clapp and Oliver ob
rwnoiiim n niina treriHiirer of the Hooted to Dixon's reflections on the
Republican national campaign In 1904
but Bald that ho knew nothing of any
campaign contributions either In 1904
or 1908.
After Cannon hud denied that any of
the officers of his bank were Interest
ed In campaign contributions he was
excused and Senator Dixon called.
Dixon's testimony was marked by re
peated clashes with members of the
committee.
After admitting that he had solicit
ed some funds for the Progressive
cause, Dixon demanded the committee
to tell him how deep it Intended to
probe, Baying:
Dixon Got Mad.
"1 want tho committee to probe oth
er campaign funds besides those con
tributed for Roosevelt's fight. The
Impression Is general that this inves
tigation Is directed against the Pro
gressive candidate for president. Why
not Investigate Wilson?"
Asked is he had not been advised
that the committee Intended to Inves
tigate the campaign contributions to
all parties, Dixon answered:
"I most certainly have not."
"Well, you ought to be better In
formed," commented Senator Oliver,
ot Pennsylvania.
"It Is Just 30 days to election and I
do not consider this a square deal
said Dixon. Chairman Clapp objected
to this statement.
"I am not reflecting," replied Dixon
"on any member ot this committee
who Is a friend of Colonel RooBovelt.
Is Culled Down,
"You are making a mistake," lnter-
n.pted Senator Paynter. "You are lec
turing this committee. You were not
invited hero to lecturo, but to testify.
You are mistaken when you charge
that this Investigation Is directed at
only one candidate."
Dixon then began bis testimony,
saying:
"Every one realized that Taft's
nomination mount utter defeat of the
He-publlcan ticket and that fact Is still
evident.
Frank Munsey, George W. Perkins
and Dan Banna gave me various sums
approximately $1)6,000. Of this amount
$."2,000 were spent at Progressive
headquarters In Washington for liter-
at uro. I did not keep any books as
wo spent the money as fust aB It wan
received. Wo wero up against the
powerful federal machine with thou
sands of dollars behind It. Wo were
unorganized and desperately In need
of funds at all times. During tho four
months of the fighting, however, we
received lots of dollar contributions.
Denies Use of .Honey.
Dixon said thut ho knew only from
hearsay that attempts were made at
Chicago to change the votes' of certain
delegates and vehemently denied that
the Roosevelt leaders had used money
to buy delegates. Dixon said Progres
sive campaigns were conducted in
,
seme states nnd that In others no
fight was made.
"It was like movements," sold Dix
on, "where people rise up to battle for
a righteous cause. We made no cam
paign in Wisconsin, believing we are
giving the LaFollotte delegates there
our moral support."
Senator Oliver asked Dixon If the
newspapers had correctly quoted him
as saying that the committee win
made up of "a cheap, bunch of poli
ticians," and that he intended "to
show the commltee up.'1
Dixon Is Frank.
"I do not Intend to show tho com
mittee up if I can help It," answered
Dixon, "and I do not know whether I
used that language. It may be that I
committee, but the witness was Irre
pressible. Dixon and Oliver clashed
repeatedly, both flushing with anger
and each disregarding senatorial cour
tesy. 1
The committee demanded that Dixon
do not try to make a stump speech,
and he replied by demanding that the
committee summon T. F. Ryan as a
witness. Dixon testified that he sent
$300 "to some man at Tacoma, Wash.,
for campaign purposes."
He said $1500 was spent in New
Jersey and $2000 In Indiana, but that
not a penny was expended In Ohio.
Talks About Wilson. .
Dixon charged that Ryan contribut
ed to Oscar Underwood's pre-conven-tlon
campaign, and that Senator Pom

committee, collected heavily from New
