BULLETIN.
SAVANNAH. Ga.. Nov. 5. -In firing a
salute to President Taft as he was being
taken down the river here today two men,
Charles Hanson, white, and Cornelius
Hamilton, colored, were badly Injured by
the explosion of the cannon. Hanson will
probably lose an eye and the negro a hand.
A part of the cannon passed over the
revenue cutter on which the president had
taken passage.
SAVANNAH, Ga.. Nov. 5. President
Taft, up until nearly i o'clock this morn
ing as a result of an elaborate banauet
served In his honor last night at the Desoto
hotel, slept late today and delayed the
start of the program of sightseeing ar
ranged for his last day In Savannah by
nearly an- hour. The president left at 2
o'clock this afternoon for Charleston.
The Gordon residence, where the presi
dent stayed during hla visit here, was
guarded throughout the night by a de
tachment of police ard this morning while
Mr. Taft slept the tide of trafflo waa
turned down other thoroughfares. A crowd
of several thousand persons gathered aa
near the residence as the police would
permit them, to catch glimpses of the chief
executive.
Tho river trip ended, the president was
taken for a fast ride over the automobile
course where the Grand Prise races were
run last fall. The ride ended at Thunder
bolt Casino, where luncheon was served.
On the way back to the station to take
the train for Charleston the president
passed before all the school children of
the city.
Mr. Taft made a very happy speech at
the banquet early this morning. He was
the last on the long program. At one time
during his speech there were cries of
"second term" and the old Cleveland yell
of "four years more." The president said
he had the same friendly expressions from
another audience In tha District of Co
lumbia. ,
. "Therefore," he added. amid, laughter.
"I accept such a demonstration as an evi
dence of profound good fellowship and wel
come and appreciate It, and I pass over
the matter of Judgment and power."
The president made a great hit with his
audience by referring to "Ty" Cobb, the
famous batsman of the Detroit American
league base ball team, as one of the dis
tinguished citizens of Georgia.
Lands Army and Navy.
The president paid a tribute to the
United States army and navy and agreed
with Rear Admiral Sperry, who had re
sponded to a toast to the navy, that there
was no act "In the wonderfully useful
inspiring administration of Theodore Roose
velt to which we are more Indebted than
the sending of the sixteen battleships
around the world."
Referring to the Panama canal the presi
dent repeated the promise he made before,
that It will be completed by January 1,
1915. The president said it took a strong
man to supervise the work aa secretary
ot war, so he chok a southerner, Mr.
Dickinson, a man of wonderful Ingenuity
and a "steam engine In breeches." It was
when the president said he hoped the
Panama canal could be hurried to com
pletion during his term of office that the
cry of "four year more" came from the
banqueters.
"I don't wonder that every smile I see
in Georgia Is broader than when I was
here In January," said the president.
"With 16-cent cotton you can be enthusl-
astlc to the point of exuberance and people
will understand why.
"I cannot help feeling (perhaps my head
is a little bit swelled and I am too prone
to that sort of thing), there Is some
thing personal In ths reception I have re
ceived In Georgia and In this city, and that
It grows out of my expressed wish to do
what little I can as the chief magistrate
of this nation to show to Georgia and her
sister southern states that In the adminis
tration of the government at Washington,
she Is as much a part as the state of Ohio."

Sheep Case.
WITNESSES GRANTED IMMUNITY
Tsvo Men, Parrle and Keyes, for
Their Testimony Will Not be

In Sheepmen's Murder
BASIN, Wyo.. Nov. S.-(Special Tele
gramsJudge Parmalee this morning called
the case of Herbert Leroy Brink, a cattle
man, charged with the murder of "Joe"
Alleman, a sheepman of Ten Sleep, Wyo.,
April 2, 1909. Every person In any manner
having connection of any Important char
acter with tha case was In- the court room.
Owing to the diligence of tha prosecution,
Brink faced a merciless recital of facta,

which seems to be habitual. When one
gases squarely In hla face, there Is a gener

alts at a long table surrounded by his
counsel, at the head of which Is H. S.
Rldgley, senior counsel for the defense.
Directly back of the chair, at the press
table, this morning sat a woman In black.
Behind a long, sweeping widow's veil was
the face of one that has a deep Interest
in the outcome of this trial. The widow of
Allemand held a baby In her arms and
followed the proceedings closely.
E. E. Enterline, senior counsel for the
prosecution, presented his case to the jury.
When he reached the point where he de
scribed the death of Allemand, Mrs. Alle
mand was obliged to withdraw from the
court room,
It had been rumored that two of the de
fendants, Keyes and Farris, had turned
state's evidence, but not until .this morning
was it certain that this waa true. The
state announced that immunity had been
granted to the two men, Charles Far its
and Albert Keyes, for a confession which
enabled the state to secure the evidence it
Intends to present and the witnesses,
tlilrty-six In all, who would be brought in
to testify.
Starting with the 2d day of April, Attor
ney Enterline showed the meeting of the
seven defendants at Keyes' house, one of
the seven, and traced the plot through to
.consummation.
He toid of finding the bracks of seven or
eight men on horseback leading up to a
point near the scene of the crime, of
marks on treea where as many horses were
tied. He told of finding Allemand's body
in the ashes of his wagon, arms and legs
burned off, torso charred, the gold crowned
teeth which a Billings dentist Identified, of
the top of Allemand's skull being burned
off, the face unrecognizable. He told of
the gun shot wounds and their location on
Allemond's body.
Then the lawyer described how the seven
men had been assigned each his portion
of the night's work, cutting of telephone
wires to prevent communication by per
sons resldlrg nearby. One of these was
Porter Itmb, who resided at the Green
place, who heard the cries of "Throw up
your hands."
The evidence would show, he said, that
Brink pulUd the sage brush with which the
fires were started that burned the wagons
Laser, after awakening them from their
sieep, ordering them to make a light and
drrss. then placing two armed men over
them; how thty proceeded to Emege's
wagon.
"We will tell you later who these two
armed guards were," he said. He gave a
graphic account of the meeting of the
seven men at Keyes' house, at which Brink
Is alleged to have said: "I hope they
(meaning the sheepmen) won't come over.
There will be something doing If they do."
Mr. Enterline then stated that Uorg
Sabln had planned the whole thing, and
traced tha movements of the seven men on
that Friday, The evidence, be claimed,
would show that Keyes said to Farris at
Keyes' house: "We are going to ditch
the sheepmen tonight." Sabln and Brink
were to go to the wagon known as the
north wagon and capture Emge and Alle
mand. A single shot was to be the signal.

BOSTON, Nov. K While the future con

the action In New York yesterday will
produce good results.
Alfred Farlow, chairman of the commit

"As I understand the situation, the opin

in any way affact these findings. As a
matter of course, It Is not within Jurisdic

the New York situation.
"It is to be hoped that In time all con

Is correct In Its findings; that Is, that
all will agree with the mother church as
to what constitutes the true teachings and

Students Strike for Single

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. -All-day ses
sions, broken only by pink tea luncheons
at high pries, Is the grievance of the 600
pupils of the West High school, whose
strike was recessed at the close of the
ftchool week this afternoon until Monday
morning. A meeting of the school board
has been called for Monday morning to
consider the complaints of the students,
which resulted In their walking out last
Tuesday.
The main grievances of the boys is
against forenoon and afternoon sessions.
They want to work during the afternoons.
The girls are objecting to the price on the
luncheon menu, although th boya of the
foot bull squad assert that they cannot
cover their colors with glory on cream
puffs and caramel Ice cream or en pickles
at 1 cent each. Cup cakes and orange Ices,
they declare, ar unmanly. As to the
double sessions the girls also have some
complaint. They maintain that th art of
domestic science, such as cooking, sweep
ing and washing dishes at horn Is sadly
neglected when they ar compelled to
remain In th class room all day.
TUBE BURSTS ON BATTLESHIP
Accident Interferes with Second Test
of the Dakota.
FOUR MEN ARE SCALDED
Speed for First Three Honrs Well
Above Contract Requirement and
Equal to It Last Hour with
Four Boilers Ont.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Nov. 5. As the
new battleship North Dakota waa com
pleting Its four-hour endurance run at a
twenty-one-knot gait off the New England
coast today, with the battleship speed
championship of America almost In Its
grasp, a. boiler room accident robbed It of
the laurels and sent It scurrying Into this
port to land four Injured men. The big
ship, nevertheless, exceeded Its contract
requirement of 21 knots an hour, making
a. 71 In the first two hours, 21.61 In the
third hour and 21 knots flat as it hurried
In on the fourth hour to this port.
The Injured men are:
William H. Grange, water tender.
John Souden, coal passer.
A. Peterson, fireman.
Peter MoConnell, fireman.
rVuden was badly scalded, and when
landed this afternoon was suffering In
tensely. Tho. North Dakota Jogged out of port
shortly after sunrise today, and at 1
o'clock It was well south of Mohtgan.
Shortly after the trial began. On the first
two hours the engines developed 82,000
horse-power and the water rate waa well
above the contract. A few minutes after
the battleship had passed Cape Ann, and
while It W'as entering the fourth hour of
Its test, a seven-Inch tube In one of the
lower row of boilers blew out and filled
the room with steam. The engineers Im
mediately cut off four of the fourteen
boilers. As soon as the extent of the In
Jurlrs of the firemen hed been ascertained
the North Dakota was swun around and
hrnded back up the coast for this port,
where It was known a good harbor could
be reached shortly after the expiration of
the time limit. All of the Injnred men
bravely urged the enplneer force to disre
gard their injuries ard keep the battleship
on Its work. Under the ten boilers twenty
one knots was maintained for the balane.i
of the time, and at 4 o'clock the North
Dnko'a steamed Into this harbor and sent
the Injured men ashore.
The defective tube was replsced and ar
rangements were made to leave at mid
night for the twenty-four-hour run at a
speed of nineteen knots an hur.
The battleship Is expected at Boston
lightship at midnight tomorrow and dur
ing the run It will be decided whether
there will be a continuation of the trials
and whether the four-hour test will be re
peated. Although the North Dakota fulfilled Its
contract today, Its builder, the Fore River

Judicial fight between the high man on
the democratic side and the low man on
the republican side will be extremely closo.
The totals In these counties give Sullivan
M.376 and Fawcett S3.4S9, a difference of
113. Tho figures Include Adams county,
where the democrats gave the republicans
a hard Jolt. There yet remain of the largor
counties which msy favor the democrats
Holt and Saline. Saline went about 200 for
Sullivan and about 150 for Good and Dean.
Holt county will probably give 230 for
Sullivan, but the other counties yet out
will more than offset these two, according
to Irscompleter eturns.
Barnes and Sedgwick are elected be
yond a doubt.
LINCOLN, Nov. B. (Special.) William
Hayward, chairman of the republican atate
committee, made tho following statement
todsy:
"We are of course very much gratlflc!
at the clean sweep our entire state ticket
has made. We have stuck to our origin il
ftgureof about 2,000 majority for our low
men and 15.000 for our high man, Regent
Allen, and this will not be far from right.
"We started Into the campaign on tha
theory that Nebraska was a very close
state." When It Is considered that we lost
our governor by a big majority, our presl-'
dential electors by a substantial majorlt
and that the legislature was overwhelm
ingly democratic, with an even break of
three and three on the congressmen, those
who say the state Is republican by 2B.090
must have poor memories. The highest
majority we ever received on tha head of
the ticket, not counting Roosevelt, was
less than K.OOO. Since we redeemed the
state in 1900 our average majorities on the
head of the ticket have been about 10,000,
as shown by the following figures:
"Starting In 1000 and giving majorities
In round numbers on head of the ticket
straight through as follows: Deltrlch, 800;
Sedgwick, 12.000; Mickey. 5,000; Barnes, lfl,
000; Mickey, S.000; Letton, 24.000; Sheldon.
12.000; Reese. 24,000; Sheldon lost by 7,000;
Barnes over Dean, S,(KX). In my Judgment,
with compete fusion against us, the state
In about 10,000 republican.
"In this election It Is again proven that
the republicans on county and state offices
are a good deal more Inclined to be non
partisan than the democrats. This Is proven
by the fact that in solid republican coun
ties all over the state the court house
Is half full of democratic county officers,
while In the solid democratic counties, like
Platte, no republican ever gets a "look
In."
"It would be Interesting to know how
many republicans were voted for In this
election by such men as Mr. Bryan, Gover
nor Shallenberger, the World-Herald force
and other leading democrats, In spite of
their specious declaration In their state
platform advising all men to vote for the
ablest Judges regardless of political party.
There Is no question that many republicans
voted for the democratic candidates, being
deceived by the nonpartisan fake. I call
It a fake for the reason that the republi
can party from president down, Is the only
party which has ever, appointed any of
their opponents ro offlc when they had
the power. The democratic party Is non
partisan only In soll.'ly republican statei
snd at times when tho republican party is
In power In state or nation.
"The fraudulent circular, signed "Prog
ressive League," also hurt us materially
where we did not have time to answer It.
The vote was very light and we lost many
votes by reason of this condition.
"O.i the whole, you may say that we
are well satisfied to be in cne clear with
all of our ticket at the end of a cam
paign In which we were up against an
unusual number of roorbacks, frauds nnd
deceptive allurements put forth by tho
democratic managers, by which they hoped
to win by deceit as they did In 1308. Their
non-partisan theory was no Intended by
them to be a 'give and take' proposition,
but one In wiich they expected to take
wlihout giving.
"It was only our completo organization
In tho counties and precincts, our loyal
republican pre.-s throughout inn state and
li vc-l-l.ead d republicans everyw here that
crab ed us to expose their frauds and get
enough of our vote to the polls to win a
complete vlciory and take Nebraska out
of th) 'awkward iquad,' In which It was
pi c d Ly the democratlo victory last
ytar.
