FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1011. HOM E (4TH) EDITION PRICE: Claremont Courier Says That Political Tide Is Against • Clark and Folk. PRINCETONIAN WILL WIN Thinks Progressive Republicans Will Join Democrats in Vot ing for New Jersey Man. The following 1« from Tho Clare- more (Mo.) Courier: It begins to look very much like Woodrow Wilson, .the ex- president of Princeton universi ty and the present governor of New Jersey, seems to be the “man of the hour.” We are as patriotic as any Missourian on earth, and would give anything within our means to see Champ Clark or Joseph W. Folk nomi nated, but it looks foolish to us to be traipsing around in pri maries and conventions and tear ing our clothes off when the po litical tide is all against us. We do not profess to be a po litical sage, but we have kept one eye on Wilson ever since he was elected to the high position he now fills, and we must say in our opinion he has made good. His first fight against the corrupt interest for a United States sena tor who was clean and above re proach and suspicion was an act which attracted the attention and admiration of the whole country. His official life has been consistent and conservative. He is safe and sane on all ques tions of government. If the Re publicans nominate Taft and the Democrats Wilson, both of which look like sure shots, the Demo cratic ticket will receive the largest popular vote and the larg est electoral vote ever cast for a president. Even Pennsylvania will be in doubt. All the pro gressive Republicans will flock to the Democratic ticket, and we will witness Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado, Ne vada and all the solid South and half the East casting -their elec toral vote for a Democratic pres ident. Such a sight will certain ly bring joy to the hearts of all those who believe in honest and upright methods in politics and government.

It may reach that stage today, as when court convened there were prac tically eleven men In the Jury box who had been passed "for cause" and two men remaining of the last venire from which to select the twelfth Juror. To be sure, two of the eleven men are under challenges by the defense that nave not been finally determined, but Apparently the defendant’s lawyers have Kiven up hope that their challenges will be decided In their favor. There also Is one talesman of the Eleven who has not yet been interro gated by the prosecution, but District Attorney Fredericks expected to pass to,s mor nlng. Both the district at- a nd LeCompte Davis, of the de- counsel, said this morning aat they expected to begin on their wremptorles today. The defense has twenty peremptorles, he st a t e ten.

While advices received here from Shanghai and other southern centers today were contradictory on many points, all Indicated that a terrible massacre had been precipitated by General Chang Pao’s government forces in the Hankow district. In which thou sands have already fallen, and declared the slaughter Is still proceeding with frightful ferocity In more remote sec tions. Venting their rage at defeat by the rebel army under General Ll Yuan Chang, Imperialist troops are visiting a vengeance of blood upon all native Chi nese families that have not already fied to the safety of the Insurrectionary flag The lives of the foreign residents In the foreign concessions at Hankow are in greater danger than they have been at any other time since the rebellion broke out. Their chief menace lies In the fact that a number of Manchu families and native Chinese have taken refuge in the concessions from the at tacks of rebel soldiers on one hand and by the Imperialist troops on the other. Foreigners have been armed and are assisting the marines from the twelve warships In the harbor to patrol the concessions and prevent the Ingress of armed hordes of soldiers. Even the missionaries still there arc under arms prepared to fight If necessary. Nin nations are represented In the inter national police force of marines which guards all the approaches to the con cessions occupied by foreigners.

Coleman Dead. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 3.—Norman J. Coleman, first secretary of agricul ture. died on the train en route to 6t.i Louis at 2 o'clock this morning. 1 Aged William W. Martin's wish that his recent summer romance come to an end and that he bo permitted to go back home to his four daughters, will be gratified. Mrs. Margaret Martin, his nurse bride, will make no fight to keop him. She will offer no opposition to the granting of the writ of habeas corpus, taken out by Miss Hattie Martin, eldest daughter of the bed-ridden old man. which will tear her husband from her. This means that the writ will be granted by Judge Ellis when It comes up for hearing Saturday morning. Mrs. Martin Informed a Georgian re porter Friday momlnr that she has de. elded on thla course. While, of course, I hate to give up my husband,” said Mrs. Martin, "still If he desires to leave me and go back to hla daughters, I will offer no opposi tion. He can do as he pleases.' Ths aged man. who has been In cus tody nearly all of this week, pending the outcome of the habeas corpus pro ceedings. will be released from the Tower Saturday morning and again take up his abode In his former home In Capitol View. In announcing that sho will make no fight to retain her husband, Mrs. Mar tin asserts that Dr. Thomas J. Moss, of Riverside, a friend of tho Martin family, has come between her and her husband and poisoned his mind against her. in answer to the charges of the aged bridegroom that she has mistreated him. Mrs. Martin also says some other peppery things. ”1 dislike to say anything against Mr Martin, as he is my husband." she says, "but I can not rest under his false accusations without defending myself. "There has been a lot of unpleasant ness because Mr. Martin Is an Infidel and has no religious belief. Ho Is one of the moat wicked men I have ever soon, and has frequently cursed me ter ribly—whenever I would not obey hla commands just as soon as he thought I ought to. It was simply awful. But I have tried to bear up under It all and do the best I could for him.” As to Dr. Moss, she says: "This msn. Dr. Moss, would come to the house, csrrylng messages between Mr. Martin and his daughters, and has poisoned my husband's mind ngainst me. Mrs. Jennie Mertln Sudan, the married daughter, has also come to the house and done all she could to break up our relations. If these people hao only let us alone we could have gotten along all right." Asked If she would sue for a divorce, Mrs. Martin replied: "No, I'm a Catholic. We don't sue for divorce. If a divorce Is asked It will come from the other side. "When Mr. Martin goes back to his daughters he will be absolutely free from me," she added. “I assure him I will never cross his path again and will never molest him In the slightest. And If the daughters will only leave me alone they need never worry about me at all." And thus ends the remarkable ro mance and secret marriage on July 18 laat of an 81-year-old bed-ridden man and hie nurse. A broken roll caused Southern fast mall No. 14, fron, Cincinnati to Jack sonville, to leave the track In a deep cut nenr Chattahoochee'about 11 o'clock Thursday night Two men were known to bo killed 2nd a number of passengers were badly hurt and shaken up as the coaches left tho rails and crashed Into each other.

Laurie Green Jackson, a bride of little more than a year, followed the lead of Mr*. Marlon Speer Jack»on, now Mrs. Charles Creclman, of New York, Mr. Jackson'* first wife, and brought suit for total divorce in the superior court. Charging that Jackson, since her marriage to him on June 9, 1909, has been in a continual state of intoxlca- tlon, and that he deserted her and her slx-months-old baby, falling to provide for their support, Mrs. Jackson asks for a total divorce and temporary and per manent alimony. The general character of the allega tions recited In the petition. In which no specific charge Is made, lead* to some doubt as to whether Jackson will file a cross-bill and fight his wife’* suit. James Anderson, of Anderson, Felder, Rountree A Wilson, who has been en gaged an his attorney, .-.ild Friday morning that as his client had not been served “with a notice of the suit his fu ture notion had not been determined.

Because of this Mrs. Jackson Hnk8 tin* court to restrain and enjoin the defendane from disposing of the property until the suit Is settled. Jackson's recent advent In the Fulton courts recalls the sensation of four years ago, when hla first wife, who was Miss Marian Speer. of Griffin, n very beautiful young woman, eloped with Charles Creelman, of Chicago, who at that time was engaged In the lumber business here. For several days after her departure her disappearance could'not bo ac counted for. Later she turned up In a Washington hotel with Creelman, and following that she filed suit for divorce against Jackson In the local courtn. Upon the removal of her disabilities she married Creelman.
