FIVE IN DEMOCRATIC RACE.
New York , Nov. 22. While Col.
Roosevelt , Senator La Folletto and
tlio adherents of President Taft are
dally engaged In the manufacture of
republican war medicine , the demo
cratic leaders on concentrating their
efforts toward promoting harmony.
Also they are seriously discussing the
relative chances of five men who are
asplranls for Ihe presidential nomina
tion. These men's chances are rated
in this order :
Woodrow Wilson , governor of New
Jersey.
Judson Harmon , governor of Ohio.
Champ Clark of Missouri , speaker
of the hotue of representatives.
Oscar Underwood of Alabama ,
chairman of the ways and means com-
mlllee of the house.
William Randolph Hearst.
Governor Wilson's interests are
looked after by a splendidly equipped
organization which is systematically
proselyting among state leaders in
tlio east , the middle and far west ; ev
erywhere. In fact , save the south.
That section , with its 347 votes in
the next national convention , is se
dulously avoided.
Tills evasion does not indicate any
reluctance on the part of the support
ers of Gov. Wilson , and the same
might be said of Gov. Harmon , to ob
tain the "southern vote. " It is in
spired rather by the absolule convlc-
lion that the south will throw its vote
to one of its own "favorite sons. " Un
derwood or Clark , until it is estab
lished that neither can win. Then
the foray of the Wilson and Harmon
forces on the south will begin.
Of the two southerners , Under
wood is viewed here as having the
best chance from that section. He is
a new man , vigorous and particularly
available in the event of the tariff
being the paramount issue of the na
tional campaign.
Big Bankers There.

Opinion of National Reserve Associa
tions. " Another Chicago banker
George M. Reynolds , president of the
tommercial and Continental bank
talked about "Rediscounts and DooK
Credits. "

fared badly at the hands of the police
last night. They had threalened to
force Iheir way into the house of com
mons and make a protest on the floor
of the house against the prime minis
tor's refusal to pledge the governmenl
lo an equal suffrage bill , but they

. fragettes resorted to a campaign o

of whom were on duty , the women , ac
companied by sympathizers and gangs
of rowdies , proceeded through White
Hall , armed with bags of stones con
cealed under their coats and broke
windows in public offices , libera
headquarters and then the Alberta
club. They even extended their opera
tions lo Ihe Slrand , where window
of the postofflce bank and other pr
vato concerns suffered from the on
slaught.
The militant tactics of the suf
fragettes followed a statement by Pro
inter Asquith that the government wa
unable to introduce a bill to enfran
chlso women , as the cabinet was d
- vided on the proposition , but woul
- allow an amendment to be introduce
- allowing an amendment to bo Intro
duced to the proposed manhood su
fniRo bill , leaving it to the house of' '

TECHNICAL QUESTION INVOLVED
Prejudice Against Labor Unions Is
Puzzle in McNamara Case.
Los Angeles , Nov. 22. Whether
rejudlco against labor unions of It-
elf Is sufficient to disqualify a tales-
inn from trying James D. McNamara ,
ulicted for murder in connecllon with
Times explosion , was one of the
oints which Ihe defense hoped leave
ave determined today in conneclion
lib the challenge directed against
'alesumn A. J. Slovens. The slate ,
owover , contends that only where
uch prejudice can bo shown to extend
o the defendant personally as a mem-
or of tlio union is material. Along
its line , too , the point has been raised
s to how far prejudices alleged ; o
ave been engendered by the Times
tself agalnsl labor unions could bo
nlerprelod as bias. If a man read the
llogcd atlacks on labor In the Times
.nil then when the explosion occurred
inmedlately altrlbuted the deed to
inion labor or its sympathizers , in
uch an opinion an ordinary one
ormed on newspaper reading ? This
vas the question which counsel for the
lefcnso maneuvered about to have
ettlod loday lo guide them in their
ixaminallon of future talesmen.

the rules lo prevent the big athlelic
clubs from preying on the lllllo ones
will bo proposed at the convention of
the Amateur Athlelic union which
met hero for its twenty-fourth annual
session. Officers of the organization

discussion they believed the new
rules would be adopted. Most import
ant of the proposed changes is the
two-year rule , which would prevent
an athlole who had lefl one club from
representing another until that period
had expired. Secretary James E. Sul
livan explained that this did not
mean that the athlele would bo barred -
rod from competing unattached the
two years. It would take power of
release away from the individual
clubs , he said , and in future Iho ell-
giblily of an alhlelo lo compelo would
rest with the national registration
committee.

SOLD BY HER HUSBAND.
This Is the Claim of Mrs. Patterson ,
on Trial for Murder.
Denver , Colo. , Nov. 21. The Pat
terson murder trial is creating a ben-
sallon here.
When Iho curtain rose yeslerday in
Ihe criminal court of the concluding
act In the drama of Gertrude Gibson
Patterson's life , what promised to bo
one of the most sensational murder
trials in the history of the middle
west began.
Practically the entire case of the
defense will rest on the story to be
told on the witness stand by the de
fendant herself.
It will be the story of a woman of
education who , as she will allege , was
sold to a rich Chicago man for
a stipulated sum by her owner-hus
band. It will tell how she sacrificed
everything most dear to her in order
lo help her husband in his flghl
against tuberculosis and Ihen , how
she Instituted divorce proceedings ,
and of their quarrel and his death.
On Sept. 25 lust. Mrs. Patterson
wont to the PhlppH homo for con
sumptives , of which her husband ,
Charles Patterson , wan an Inmate and
met i him evidently by previous ar
ir
rangement. They walked a consider
able distance , talking earnestly , when
suddenly they got Into a quarrel dur
ing { which Mrs. Patterson shot her
husband dead. When arrested , the
woman unfolded a startling story.
She alleged thai , previous lo her mar
riage j with Patterson , she lived with
Kmll Strauss , a rich Chicago clothier ,
for ' five years. She mot Patterson at
a ' skating rink , she said , and a few
months after they were married. Not
j
long ' after , she alleges , her husband
asked ' her If she had any money and
when r she said she had not , ho pro
posed ' that she load an Immoral life
with other men. She called him a
beast ' , she says , and a violent quarrel
ensued. l Later , she alleged , she mot
Strauss and told him of tlio Incident
and ' lie suggested that she go to En-
rope ' with him on a Irip ho was soon
to ' make.
The nexl day she met Strauss , she
said , and told him Patterson Insisted
she i should go to Europe with the
clothier < , but that Patterson demanded
$1,500 ! from Strauss an the purchase
price ] for Iho woman. Slrauss gave
her I Iho money and they wont abroad ,
she i asserted. After she and Slrauss
reached i Europe , Iho woman assorts ,
Patterson cabled her that he was out
of money and that unless Strauss
I' "came ' across" witli more , he would
"show ' him up. "
'
Slrauss gave her $5,000 and sent
her back to America , she said , and
she lived with her husband.
Her slory added that so cruel did
her husband become thai she was fi
nally forced lo leave him and lhat , on
. Sept. 25 , he Irled lo kill her because
I
I she would not return to him. She
, alleged she grasped the revolver
which ho brandished and shol him.
The Pallersons came hero from
Chicago in Oct. 1910 , Patlerson hav
ing become a luberculosls victim.
Early in September Mrs. Patlerson
filed n petition hero for n divorce on
the ground of cruelty and a few days
later Patlerson filed a cross com
plaint , charging infidelity. On Sept.
22 , throe days before the trage
dy , notice was filed In the Chicago
j courts of a suit by Patlerson against
' Emil Strauss , asking $25,000 for alien
ation of Mrs. Palterson's affections
and alleging that Strauss had induced
the woman to go to Europe with him.
Inasmuch as the tragedy occurred
so soon after the filing of this notice ,
the stale will allege that Mrs. Patler
son , hearing of her husband's aliena-
llon suit , planned to murder him and
made an engagement with him on
Sept. 25 , with the deliberate inten
tion of shooting him down , because
of the revelations threatened by the
Chicago suit.
Shook Back at Herrick.
Herrick , S. D. , Nov. 21. Special leThe
The News : John Shook , Ihe former
marshal of Herrick , who shot and 1
killed Henry Ousley , a character
around Herrick , for resisting arrest ,
is again a free man. Immediately
after the shooting he gave himself up
and his case came up before the pres
ent term of circuit court. Ousley's
friends had engaged Attorney Castor
of Lake Andeas and J. R. Cash of
Done-steel to assist the stale in Ihe
proseculion. Owing lo Iho fact that
the marshal was armed with a war
rant for arrest and that Ousley was
considered a "bad" man , there was
little chance for the jury to find any
thing but a verdict of not guilty.
Shook was defended by C. H. William
son of Herrick and W. J. Hooper of
Gregory , W. D. Backus of Winner also
assisting in Hie defense. John Shook
will again lake up his simple unas
suming life at Herrick , where he owns
ind conducts a barber shop.
The Case Was Hard Fought.
Fairfax , S. D. . Nov. 21. Special to
The News : The case was strongly
contcslcd on bolh sides , the stale bo
ng rcprescnled by Slalo's Allorney
William McDonnell , assisted by J. R.
ash of Bonesteel and G. F. Caster
of Platle , while Iho defendant was
represented by Attorneys Hooper ,
Williamson and Dackus.
The evidence showed that Shook
was endeavoring to arrest Henry Ous
ley on a warrant charging Ousley
with disorderly conduct , cursing and
using other profane language ; that
Ousley refused to submit to arrest by
Shook ; that Shook undertook to take
him ; that he got up from a chair on
which ho was sitting when Shook read
the warrant to him , took off bis coat
and told Shook he would not go with
him. About the limo ho was laking
off his coat Shook fired the fatal shot.
The original bad feeling seems lo
have been caused by a difference of
opinion as lo some grading of the
street In Herrick , adjoining the prop
erly of Henry Ousley , ho claiming lhat
Iho lown hoard , and especially Ihe
marshal. John Shook , had "il in for
him. "
The warrant had been issued on the
complaint of Marshal Shook.
Though found "not guilty" by a jury
of his peers , the consensus of opinion
is that Shook acted hastily and un
wisely. Had he taken a lilllo more
lime lo consider Ihe malter and acted
on the advice of friends whom he had
called upon to assist him , the tragedy
might have been averted.
