LINKS MISSING IN EVIDENCE IN BAILEY MURDER Coroner May Be Forced to Order Discharge of Mrs. Carman at Preliminary Hearing. GRAND JURY IS AT WORK Assistant District Attorney Says May Not Be Enough Facts to Secure Indictment. PRISONER IS IN BETTER SPIRITS Collapses Later, However, and is Given Sedative. STATEMENT BY HER LAWYER lie Says He 4vill Prove that Wit nesses on Whose Tratlmonr She Wna Arretted "Were Ont of Town. MINEOLA. L. I., July 9. It la not at all certain that there will be enough evi dence tor an indictment against Mrs. Florence Carman, charged with the mur der of Mrs. Louise Ballcy. This was the opinion that Assistant District Attorney Weeks expressed today. "It la not unlikely," aald the assistant district attorney, "that when Mrs. Car man appears on Monday before Coroner Norton, who will then be acting In the capacity of Justice of tho peace, she will be discharged. At that time Mrs. Car man's attorney will have a right to cross examine the witnesses who testify against the prisoner. Dr. Carman found his wife in better spirits when he visited her In Jail hero today. She seemed to have recovered her composure. After her husband left Mrs. Carman broke down In her cell and her condi tion became so acute that the prison authorities were alarmed and called In the staff physician. She was taken to the warden's office, where she lay down on a couch and became quieter after sd atlves had been given her. She refused, however, to go to bed. George Levy, attorney for Mrs. Car man, said today that he had discovered two new witnesses whose testimony he considered extremely valuable. He also said that ho had Information that two of the witnesses whose testimony had been Instrumental in eauslng the arrest of Mrs. Carman had been far from the homo at the time of the murder. Broatok Up Against Records Declaring I I "Prvn "P Yi rrVQ a Ql TT OCliJlecardlni-Jvornen. -suffrage;, tho-j-eaolu- JL VI A X U&- -(JU- V Cantain W J. Broatoh. Has taken It upon himself to defend the Douglas county progressives by publishing a state ment saying The Bee told an untruth when It pointed out that only thirty of the seventy-six delegates chosen by the prbgresslves for the state convention are registered as progressives. Captain Broatch likes a quarrel In which there is lots of accusation of falsehood. How ever, that does not change tho record. The card Index of registrations In tho office of the Douglas county election commissioner, still shows that only thirty of the seventy-six delegates, bar ring the alternates, are registered as pro gressives. And this In spite of Captain Broatch and his fulmlnatlon. Of course. It Is remembered by tho-je who ever read the law on the subject, that a "progressive republican" Is not a "progressive." There Is a difference. There Is no such party as "progressive republican," yet a number of the dele gates chosen by the progressives are reg istered as "progressive republicans." But the records are clear. Even the word, of Captain" Broatch does not stand against the card Index: In the commis sioner's office. Some few may have changed their registration in the last sixty days, since the card Indox was last revised. Maybe Captain Broatch has led them to the commissioner's office to do so.

Gnliirs nt (lie HlnrlileeiitU Hole, Kllnilnnllnit l.nnt Veteran In Tonrney. No golf tournament In Omaha ever de veloped no many extra-hole competitions as did tho second day of play nt tho Nebraska State Tournament at tho Happy Hollow cluh yesterday, when five two somes played one or two extra holes to decide who should remain In the vsrious flights In which they were entered. Around the eighteenth hole, there was plenty of excitement durlns: the after noon, .when the.. pairs began to core. In. Franjc Haje of the Field Club .went (wenty holes to defeat William Folsom o the Lincoln County club, , winning with a fortunate mashle Into tho circus ring. Clarence Peters went to the nineteenth hole with Harold Johnson, only to meet defeat at the hands of the Happy Hollow cluh player, who played n perfect three for the hole. F. L. McCoy beat Charles Dattelle on the- nineteenth hole, and match betwoen J. II. Conrud and . K. Denman likewise went an extra hole. J. R Porter defeated G. F. Gllmoro at the twentieth hole, after a match which was practically even dur ing the entire round. FnTnrllea Lending. Perhaps the greatest Interest attached to the matches of Ram Reynolds and V. N. hambcrs, and Ralph Poters and C. II. Rogers, the dark-hoisn from the Miller Park club. Reynolds had less trouble than had been anticipated In stowing Chambers away, taking the two-some 0 up and 5 to play. Peters, likewise won his match with apparent esse, the final accounting giving the County club man the match by up and 3 to play. Chambers was beaten by the course, not by his own play, according to the pro fessionals who watched portions of his match with Sam Reynolds, whllo the city champion never weavered In his game, playing the finish as strong as he did tho first holes in the morning. Dnirni n Bnrnrlse, Phillip Downs, the 19-year-old young ster of the Field club, occasioned the greatest surprise of the afternoon, when he defeated F. H. Gaines, the Country club veteran, on the eighteenth hole. Gaines was well onto the flag In two, hut shot over the hill without going ahead to ascertain the distance, and as a re sult, lost the hole and tho match, be. caiiBe of a short approach shot. Downs modestly declurcd that the Country club man was "merely off his game," but the facts of tho case nre, the youngster played a strong gamo of consistent golf throughout the match. The Championship Kllnrht. In the championship flight today, four Field club men are In tho lower bracket, while In tho upper drawing are two msn from tho Happy Hollow club, and tilso two from the Country club. It Is certain that the Field cluh will have a man In the finals, but Happy Hollow and Country club men will have to fight out the third round as well as the seml-flnals, for tho honor of going Into the play for the championship of the state of Nebraska. Hale and Hughes, nnd Reynolds and Downs will fight for the places In the seml-flnals for the Field club, with the dop somewhat In favor of Hughes, pres ent state champion, and Sam Reynold, present city champion, who has played an excellent game throughout the tourna ment. Ralph Teters is considered a favorite In the upper brace of players, but he will have a hard c mpetltion with Ken neth Reed this morning, after which he will play either Harold Johnson or W. J.

There was littlo criticism of Mr. Jones other than that he was a director of the Harvester company, but sevoral mem bers nre said to have declared they could not consclentlour4y approve a man con ne"ted with a concern now being prose cuted. Stress was laid on tho fact that soma of tho acts of the harvester company com plained of In the government's bill asking; for Its dissolution were committed sine April, 1909, when Mr. Jones became a di rector. Objection to Mr. Warburg so far la based upon an entirely different reason. The committee has asked him to appear and submit to questions nbout his business connections.

A letter from the Chicago delegation of business men received yesterday by the president, endorsing Mr. Wllson'a statement In support of Mr. Warburg and Mr. Jones was made public at the White House.
