rasche testimony
. labi? eye witness of the
crime. . Bard?s is nlso under lock and
koy, detained as a material witness",
- for his story is of such, importance
that i the authorities feared that an
attempt might be made to get him out
of the jurisdiction of tho New York
courts. , '
Bardes story', briefly'told, is this:
At 7:30 o'clock on the night of the
murder, Bardes said, h? determined to
visit Dr. Carman to have him dress a
minor Injury. He walked to the phy
sician's home.' Arriving, h? decided
he could dress the injury himself a';d
thereby save a. doctor's fee. - So Ue
walked past the house and then turned
around td begin his journey home.
At that Instant he heard an ex
. plosion. Mo thought it was caused by
an automobile tire, but When he look
ed for the machine ho could not find
iL. He looked toward the lawn at the
side of- Dr. Carman's home. A wo
man, tall, well hullt, hat less, wearing
a light shirt waist -\nd a dark skirt,
was moving ' awa^ from nn? of the
windows at the slle of the physician's
office toward the rear of the house.
She was walking "In a hurry." the
witness swore: '.
Bordes was discovered yesterday.
11(8 story might still remain untold
had he not mentioned it,' first to a wo
man who telephoned the district at
torney, and then to a priest he visited
' for advice. The priest urged Bar
des to make bis story known. But be
fore ah opportunity presented itself,
he was taken into Custody by order ol
the district attorney.
Bardes testified today after Mrs
Carman's 12-year-old daughter, Eliza
beth, bed tried to strengthen her
. mother's alibi, and representatives of
the manufacturers of the telephonic
Instrument told of selling the device
to the physicjan's wife Sud of:1nstoll
ing it in her home.
' Coroner...Norton, after, spending an
hour studying-;.ihe testimony, wrote
out his charge, Slating that he "does
- on his oath any'that Louise .Bailey
. came to her death by criminal means,
by rearfbn of a bullet fired .Into her
body with a roVolver held by Florence
. Carman." Ile Vit en ordered Mrs. Car
. man's arrest. -.

"It would be- particularly unfair
to-the Democratic party and to the
Benate itself to regard.it a* the en
emy to big business; big or little.
I am sure that it doeB'.not regard a|
man as an object of suspicion mere
ly because he has been connected with I
great bustnerr enterprises. It also I
knows that the business of the coun

recent years by the enterprises or-1

thoughtful men that those who have !
tried to make big business what It
ought to be, arc men to be encouraged
and honored, whenever they respond
without reserve to the call of public
service. '
Prenldcnt Expresses Confidence
. "I" predict with the greatest, confi
dence that nothing done by the-Dem
ocratic party majority of the senate j
of the United States will bo of a sort
to throw suspicion upon suclr men.

in our development to recognize abil
ity and character, wherever It may be
displayed and imite every force for
the upbuilding of legitimate business
along the new lines are now clearly
indicated for (he future."

that it was but a temporary truce
The breab has had a disorganizing ef

I manifest in Mexican circles here,
j Reports from the border today said
I one of the conditions of the agreement
! between. Carranza. and Villa was that
Zuburan be retired from his post as
I head of the Constitutionalists here.
; Zuburan and Cabrera have worked
I hard to bring .about informal confer
ences with the Huerta delegates.
Despite the Carranza^Villa spilt,
it is evident, one common purpose of
all the Constitutionalists factions now
seems to be to force the conquest of
Mexico City-and rule the country by
martial law. That neither the Uni
ted States nor Argentina, Brazil or
Chile would recognize a military gov
ernment is'the opinion of many South
American diplomats.
In view of the lack of definite infor
mation not only 00 tue v>?fT?iiitii-v 11- i
la .agreement but the purposes of the
Constitutionalist generals as to the
peace conferences, a definite expres
sion by the Washington government
Is not likely for a few days.
Should the Constitutionalists defi
nitely reject parleys on the Internal
question, the Niagara protocols be
come nullified. Everything agreed to,
thiere was conditioned on. the estab- !
lishmcnt of a provisional government |
set up by two Mexican factions. It j
Is believed that Hderta delegates in
a few days will announce the posi
tion of tho Hu _rta government and
leave for Mexico.
Whether mediation would termi
nate then, ending the armistice be-1
tween American and ' Mexican forces |
at Vera Crus Is another complication.
The general impression is that the
United States will continue to exert1
pressure to brhfg the factions into
conferences and that In the meantime
some arrangement with the Huerta
government. for the maintenance of j
the .military status quo at Vera Cruz |
will be effected.

marked by a Beige of the most per
sistent interrupt inns of speakers that
has occurred since the campaign open
ed. Three of the four speakers were
subjected to grilling remarks by a
small, but noisy group.that harangued
the speakers and kept up a rapid fire
throughout the apecchos of both
Messrs. Jennings and Pollock and fur
Into that of Scuutor Smith.
For the first time tho governor's
friends stayed today aftor the chief
executive, who wus the first speaker,
had finished. They heard Messrs Jen
nings and Folluck apply the gaff to
the record of the governor. Senator
Smith, however, completely refrained
from any discussion of the charges
nroforr?d by tho governor nU? utterly
ignored the governor's record. This
is the second time that the senator
has bad to face a hostile audience in
the beginning and then cmergo In uu
unimous chorus of pleas to colinue.
Mr. Pollock added a feature when
he held up for the audience to inspect
the lied, Spread Eagle Republican
ticket of the CJarfie|(l-A3*thMr cam
paign of 1880. It contained the names
of several ..egro republican electors
from different districts of the state,
and that of J. Preston Qlbson, a can
didate from Marlboro county for the
house of representatives, ''and ap
pointed a member of the governor's
staff."
. Mr. Jennings launched into a vigor
farmer, the question was asked:- "Are
there any negroes over there?"
"Oh, yes," the speaker replied,
"Borne tho governor pardoned. One
whipped -a little child to death, along
with a lot of other."
Governor Blease charged that the
.new rules passed by the state demo
cratic convention were made only to
"deceive our crowd. Tho rules are
wrong." he continued," otherwise they
would not be defending them."
When the governor defended his
don record on the petition plea one
enthusiastic fellow told the speaker,
"You haven't pardoned them alt yet.
Open the doors and turn them all out."
Tho speaker assured the audience that
as long as petitions properly signed
and properly drawn up come In par
dons would be granted.
