BELL ENCOURAGED WITH TELEGRAMS Mother, Married Sister and Her Husband to Come to His Relief WIDAMAN SLAYER CHEERFUL Declares He Was Followed by Men Seeking His Life; Awaits Fate Frank M. 8011, slayer of Attorney O. P. Widaman, was Bitting on the edge of his little prison . bunk yes terday morning when * ray of sun shin., entered the cell and shone Into his eyes, making-the cell appear as bright as the outside world, for the prisoner's mother, living in El Paso, Texas, had heard of her son's troubles and dispatched the following message: "I understand it all and will stand by you. Love, From Mother. Shortly after receiving the news from his mother. Bell received a second telegram from San Francisco which read: Will leave for Los Angoles this evening. Have you arranged for at torney? When will trial bo? Answer Palace hotel. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Coles. A. P. Coles is president of th» First National bank of El Paso, Texas, and Mrs. Coles Is Bell's sister. The Coles wero touring the coast In their auto when they heard of tho shooting, and are expected to arrive this morning, j ■ Bell slept soundly during Saturday night and when ushered Into the pre sence of newspaper men yesterday morning appeared much stronger than when he stood trembling at tho pri son door following; tho .shooting Sat urday morning. DOESN'T FEAR OUTCOME He held his mother's telegram and it was only at the mention of tho dead attorney's name, that the joyous look left his features and was replaced by an expression of tinlf sorrow and lialf relief, as ho Bald, "Attorney Wldaman Is before his Maker now, in a court where ho has to explain. As for myself, I don't particularly care. I have no home, my wlfo and child are not with me, my money is gone, but gentlemen, when my time comes, I'll go boforo my Maker with my head up," Ills eyes again sought the message that was flashed out from the Lone Star state and again his face shone with hope. "My wife," murmured the prisoner, and after a short lapse said, "I have nothing to say against my little wife, for place any woman in the position she was put ln, and she would act the same way. Wldaman is answering for her part ln this trouble now." "I don't want sympathy; I just want a square deal. If I had been given a square deal by people I trusted this thing would not have happened." When Bell Informed the newspaper men that he would relate the incidents leading up to Saturday morning's af fair it appeared that the man spoke with feverish eagerness. Bell's story follows: SEES SHADOWS- '• "After being released from this very same jail for the third time I went to my old homo ln El Paso, Texas, to seek / work, and I tell you it was good to bo with mother and sister again. --- "lt was only for the sake of mother and my sister that I held back from making a stand hero against Wldaman and Sanger, for all I wanted was to be let alone. I wasn't looking forward to taking anybody* life, though Wida man -continually asserted that I would ' kill him. Hardly had I 'settled down in El Paso when two men from Los An geles began to follow mo around, and then I thought that my life was in danger. Fearful lest they kill me, I bade mother goodby and left the old home for Cananea, Mexico, where I obtained a position with the Consoli dated Copper company as an elec trician. I wasn't there two weeks be fore they promoted me to engineer in charge of tho electrical department of the mines, but I .was fearful lest my presence in Mexico become known to those two men who had followed me in Texas. "Men, you don't realize what sort of feeling came over me when I walked those mountains to and from work! Why, at the slightest sound I became alarmed, and night after night I awoke with fear, for even in my sleep my mind was always on those two men, and I was afraid they would shoot me down like a dog. "A few days after taking charge of the shops I notice*! that one of the two men who had followed mo in Texas had secured employment in the shops over .which I was boss, and on the very first day he grossly insulted me. He was a man over six feet ln height and weighed over 200 pounds. I could have discharged him, but I did not, for I wanted to see what his game was. GIVES W POSITION "He always carried a revolver, and on numerous occasions tried to draw me into a quarrel. One day as I was passing a deserted shaft house he grabbed me by the wrist and attempt ed to draw me in, but I broke away, and when ho again came to the shops and insulted me, I openly accused him of having been sent there expressly for the purpose of killing me, and he did not deny It. - "The electricians there threatened to lynch him, but I told them that if he was put out of the way it would be only a matter of time before they would send another man out, and then it would go harder with me. "The fear of being killed . grew stronger, and finally I gave up my job, for I could not stand to wait there for an assassin to get me. I then de cided to return here, and I know posi tively that one of the two men wired Widaman' that, I had left the mines. Before leaving I told the big man that I did not propose to be killed like a dog. "I arrived at Santa Ana last Fri day and was very sick and unable to eat Saturday morning. I bought a round trip ticket to Palo"Verdes. "I wanted to seek work there. When I looked out of the car at Artesla" I saw Wldaman comirig toward me, looking full at me all the while. If there is a truthful person who was on the car, you will learn that I went back on seeing Wldaman, but he kept advancing. When he put his hand in his'pocket I turned around'and as I remember it, and from what other people tell me, I walked into the open and when 1 thought he was going to draw a revolver, I fired and what af terward happened I can't remember. I'm depending solely on the truth to get mo out of this and my only con cern is for mother. When I go to trial I will have witnesses who can prove every statement that I have made, The chief of police at El Paso will come out here to testify to cer tain things."

The marriage took place at the homo' of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Elvira B. I Sickles, 3200 Portland avenue, Minne- j apolis, July 12. Miss Bachollor was one of the bril liant speakers of the spring at the : Friday Morning club, when she was I proud to term herself one of the 6,500,- ; 000 of working women in the United i States. Her address on "The Woman in Industry" was brimful of helpful suggestions and contained many ref erences to her own experiences in the various trades in which womon labor. At the time sho gave that address Miss B&chellor promised her friends here that she would return' in the au tumn and establish herself here, and then she would go more fully Into tho conditions surrounding the working women in California. She said there was much interesting material to be Gathered about local conditions and suggested that her revelations would surprise tha authorities here. W.C. T. U. Department JULIA A. GARRISON INSTITUTE WORK Extracts from the address of Mrs. Elizabeth Mills at the Institute held in Anaheim. in the thirty-seven years since the organization of the Woman's Christian Temperance union not only have fifty two governments been united in white ribbon bands but we have been liter ally as well as spiritually fulfilling our Great Teacher's command, "Go preach my gospel to every creature." At our world's convention, held In Glas gow, Scotland, last month, the mother heart of many nations was represent ed. Many men were there, too, heart ily in accord iwitb the temperance cause. People grow interested in re sults; when they bear and see our working force, our forty-six depart ments supervised by earnest, Christian women who never know defeat where the betterment -of humanity and the safety of the home is the Issue, they take notice. These departments give every woman a chance to help. ranees Willard, our sainted leader, said: "It Is within the power of all to enlight en, to uplift, to comfort." That, my sister and my brother, means you and mo. What a blessed thought that we "belong"—that we are a part of the over one-half million workers in this campaign for God, home and human ity. We remember again what Frances said: "I am but one, but I am one; I can do something; what I can do I ought to do; what I ought to do, by'the grace of God I will do." ln every woman there is, I believe, a desire to help spread Christ's gospel to the world's widest rim, but she lacks self confidence, as no two people can be approached alike on any sub ject. Paul knew this when he said: ."I am willing to be all things to all men if 'thereby I might save some." But Paul never compromised principle —he studied men—studied human na ture. Our W. C. T. U. workers have studied—are still studying humanity as never before—and are becoming tactful and resourceful. The national president's address at the last great convention ln Omaha was a review of the . national and world's work for the past year, and was the best I have ever. read. It should be in the har.ds of every W. C. T. U. woman, as every word of it Is educational. ' It Is our duty as members of this union to arouse an interest in the work among our neighbors through our own enthusiasm. In order- to do this I would recommend, first: Do not allow any small thing to keep you from the regular meeting. Bead, study and prepare for it. I would rec ommend that each member select dur ing tho week somo item from the daily papers bearing on the uplifting and reformatory work of the l world j and give from three to fivo minutes' talk upon it, or select liome prominent wo man and in a few brief words give the lesson of her life. Havo a little time at each meeting for "Current Events," "Great Characters," "His tory of the W. C. T. U. Departments and Their Superintendents,", or any subject that appear to you as being interesting and helpful. If each mem ber would do some of these things you would be surprised at the interest and enthusiasm thai, would be aroused and the new members who would be attracted to your meetings." • Mrs. Julia D. Phelps, the national superintendent of fairs and open air mother and smiled while passing through the door.' The prisoner is from one of the fore most families of Texas, his father, Charles 8.

Her articles of travel and concerning civic matters aro especially inter esting and she used her pen with sym pathy and skill. Just what effect the marriage of this brilliant young reformer ■ will have upon her work is not announced. As her husband is a man of high polit ical position, a lawyer of repute and the father of two children, it seems probable that tho home cares which matrimony will bring will crowd out interest in the more general pursuits. Of a sweet, winsome personality, as dainty as a Dresden statuette in col oring and style of dress, the drawing room seems a more appropriate set ting for the little bride than the lec ture rostrum. Her friends here, and she made many in the brief season of her visit last winter, will be quick to offer congratulations to Mr. Haines and will cherish the hope that further visits to this coast may be made, even though the big work for relieving the conditions surrounding working wom en which was anticipated may have to be dropped. meetings, followed with a very inter esting parliamentary drill, after which she gave an instructive talk on "The Flags of All Nations." "The time was," said the speaker, "when each nation was in a measure isolated from all other nations and was dependent upon its own resources to considerable ex tent; but the great advance In com munication and transportation of the last half century has girdled the. earth and brought all together in one bond of general interest and national broth erhood. This feeling is demonstrated in times of great affliction, such as the breaking out of a dreadful epi demic or loss of Ufa and property by floods, fires, earthquakes. Immediate ly the whole machinery of relief is set in motion and every nation sends aid to the afflicted. "Our own country is growing in population rapidly, as people are com ing from every quarter of the globe at the rate of a million a year; and when the Panama canal Is finished a large influx of foreigners will come direct to the Pacific coast. Two great steamship companies have already an nounced their Intention of bringing emigrants direct to our ports, and it will be a problem the people will hove to solve how to take the great num bers of poor, and many ignorant, peo ple of all nationalities and make them over into intelligent citizens. As the different flags were presented the speaker commented upon their significance and the condition of the people over whom they waved. . The flag of Mexico, with a condor crush ing a serpent in its talons, may prove emblematic'after all, for they have al ready introduced scientific temperance instruction in their schools and in time the great condor of intelligence may crush the serpent of intemper ance in our sister republic. The flag of Italy was represented as floating over a nation, one-third of whom are beggars. But even in that wine-drinking country there is begin ning an awakening of the people. Re cently an" anti-alcohol congress and an anti-tuberculosis congress were held In Milan. In Belgium there is a dramshop for every forty-four persons. There are also 8000 defective children whose fathers are drinking men. Next to Belgium comes France as a drinking nation; and there the birth rate is yearly decreasing. In Russia only 3 per cent of the population can read. They make a kind "of whisky from po tatoes which they call vodka and near ly all drink. The peasants are miser ably poor. In Denmark the Socialists are strong and the condition of the people improving. Iceland now has total prohibition. Holland is a drink ing country where they manufacture Holland gin, which is 50 per cent al cohol. . Queen. Wllhelmlna .never touches liquors of any kind. In Swit zerland temperance Is taught in the schools. In Japan no student of any age in the schools of that empire is allowed to use tobacco. The W. C. T. U. Is strong and Influential. In Tur key none are allowed to drink. All saloons are run by Christians and the liquor is used by them. The Moham medans have many refreshing non alcoholic drinks. Mrs. Viola Norman, the W. C. T.

LONGWORTH MAY BE COMPROMISE Republican Delegates and Lead ers Assembled for the Ohio Convention EXPECT TAFT INDORSEMENT Senator Burton Declares That Nomination for Governor Is Anybody's (As-octal*- Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio. July Pro vided with little more than an opinion as to the head of the ticket and fac ing a reasonable certainty of a light over the platform, all but two of the party leaders and a good half of the delegates are already gathered here for the Ohio republican convention which opens Tuesday afternoon. James It. Garfield, head of the "pro gressives," and Walter Brown, leader of the Toledo Delegation, are still absent. Senators Burton and Dick, however, with George H. Cox of Cin cinnati, Wade ii. Ellis, chairman of the state executive committee; Carmi Thompson, secretary of state and one of the candidates for governor and other leaders were in conference with their followers all day. As to tho governorship, Senator Burton voiced the general opinion to day, when he said the contest was anybody's ' fight. He added that it was improbable that he would take no part in the fight. • . Warren G. Harding, who arrived to night, gave out a statement in which he declared that " he was the candi date of no element, individual or faction." "I recognize," he added, "that sev eral so-called leaders aro for anybody else." Wade H. Ellis, chairman of the state executive committee, told tonight what he believed should be incorporated in the platform. He says that it should contain "an unqualified indorsement" of President Taft and his administra tion and that it "should approve the Payne bill, not because it is perfect, but because it removes excessive duties under tho Dingley law." The active cAdldates for governor are Judge Brown, Warren G. Harding of Marion, former lieutenant gover nor, and Cartnl Thompson, secretary of state. In addition to these it is be lieved that James R. Garfield will be placed In nomination, providing the platform to be adopted Wednesday is sufficiently progressive." The name of Nicholas Long worth Is prominently mentioned as a compro mise candidate. He will deliver the keynote speech Tuesday afternoon and it is pointed out that a successful ef fort would bring him to the fore in case of a deadlock. ROOSEVELT INTERESTED IN OTHER CANDIDATES With Kinkade Out of Race, Long worth and Garfield Are "Dark Horses" OYSTER BAY, July News that Judge Reynold S. Kinkade of Toledo has declined to be considered as a can didate for governor of Ohio on the Re publican ticket brought forth no com ment today from Theodore Roosevelt. Two other men In whom Colonel Roose velt has a deep personal interest are also mentioned for this nomination. They are James R. Garfield, his close friend, who was his secretary of the Interior, and his son-in-law, Repre sentative Nicholas Longworth. When they last met Colonel Roose velt let it be seen that his warm per sonal regard for Garfield has not been affected by the latter's attitude toward the Taft administration, but he is un willing to express any opinion, under present circumsances, as to Garfield's stand in Ohio politics. He frankly ad mits his deep interest in the situation in Ohio, but will let no further state ment be drawn from him. \ There were no visitors at Sagamore Hill today. Colonel Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and Archie went to church in the morning. The remainder of the day the colonel spent quietly.

He sustained a fractured left wrist and several abrasions of the face. Morris and several other boys In the neighborhood had been amusing them selves by shooting arrows. The sport came to an abrupt ending when one of Morris' arrows lodged on the roof of the house. Despite the warnings of his playmates not to attempt to get it, Morris procured a ladder and climbed to the roof. Catching hold of loose shingles and working his way down the roof to the eaves, he finally was within reach of the arrow. As he reached for it he sipped and fell to the ground. He was taken to the receiving hos pital, where his injuries were treated by Assistant Police Surgeon Carter.

I WORK ON LIND LEASE SHOWS RAPID PROGRESS GOLDFIELD, July 24.—Development on the Lind lease on the Booth is pro gressing energetically with a great deal of encouragement in the character of the vein that is being followed by the drift on the 260 level. The drift has been driven on the vein about 160 feet, and is now out in the neighborhood of the dividing line between the Booth ana Oro. There is from two to three feet of low grade ore in sight, a por tion of which is highly oxidized and the balance shows sulphides in liberal quantities. Recent assays give an av erage of about $4 a ton. While this lacks considerable of being "pay," it is encouraging as evidence of miner alization which may open into good values at any time. The problem of finding a persistent ore shoot in this territory has long attracted attention and search by mining men, and although the effort has not yet been crowned with suc cess, their faith in the final outcome of development on the east slope of Columbia mountain remains strong. A station has been cut at the 250 level of the Weber lease on the south end of the Booth, and a crosscut will be driven to open the vein which was cut and developed on the 150 level, where several small bunches of good ore were found, but-, not in sufficient quantity to make a commercial prop osition.

PLANS TO ERECT CITY STOREHOUSE Supply Committee Asks $10,000 Appropriation to Begin Work on Municipal Warehouse A municipal storehouse is to be con structed on property belonging to the city and facing on Avenue Eighteen, if the supply committee can induce the finance committee to set aside some money in the budget for this purpose. The supply committee has asked for $10,000 to begin- this work, although Councilman George Williams, chair man of the committee, believes that $15,000 should be apropriated. The committee looked over the ground last week and found that in the V •formed by Downey avenue, the Buena Vista bridge and Avenue Eighteen there are two pieces of prop erty that came Into possession of the city when land was condemned for the bridge. One piece especially, at the corner of Downey and Avenue Eighteen, has four lots and is regarded as the most suitable location for the proposed storehouse. It is the plan of the supply commit tee to construct a large building on this property that will serve the double purpose of municipal storehouse and machine shop. When the storehouse is completed supplies that the city is constantly purchasing will be bought in large quantities and delivered to the various departments as needed. By purchasing in large quantities the city can buy its supplies at a cheaper rate and a uniform quality is assured. The municipal storehouse has been talked of by previous councils, and the one preceding the present body went as far as to set aside $5000 in last year's budget to begin the work. But the amount was insufficient to accomplish anything, and the money was turned back into the general fund July 1, If the present council will vote $10,000 for the purpose the supply committee believes something can be done for the storehouse as well as the machine shop. The machine shop is intended to repair the city's automobiles, patrol wagons, fire engines and other machinery that it now costs thousands of dollars a year to keep in repair.
