While "Wilson avoids discussing Coi Roosevelt, as he avoids all personalities, his Democratic callers do not hesitate to pay their respects to the third-term candidate.

Bell of California said: "The nomination of Gov. Wilson seems to have taken all the wind out of the Roosevelt sails. I don't believe he would cut a great figure in California If he ran, now that Wilson Is nominated." Senator Ollie James remarked. "Mr. T.

R. will be well taken care of In ood time; don't you worry about that; he will be answered." Besides the letter from Congressman Underwood, there came one of wain congratulation today from Senator Bankhead of Alabama, manager of th Underwood campaign. Another that pleased Gov.

SISTER FLED WITH HIM Girl Killed Herself While With Salt Lake Man, Liverpool Court Is Told. Special Cable to the Font-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright.

1912. by Press Publishing Co. (New York World.) LIVERPOOL, July 6. Amazing revelations of Mormon methods were made in the Police Court here today, when Mrs. Emily Doughty, a respectable looking woman of middle age, was put to trial charged with attempting "to procure for unlawful purposes" her own 17-year-old daughter, Mabel, for Samuel David Lee of Salt Lake City, la America.

The prosecuting counsel made these allegations In a statement to the court: "Lee became acquainted with the de fendant's family after her husband's death, seven years ago. Mrs. Dough- ty'r elder daughter, Alice, a few days after meeting Lee, left here for London on the way to Salt Lake City. They were not married. In letters Alice men tioned Lee's next door neighbor, Mrs-N Kelly, to whom, some years later, Mrs.

Doughty, not hearing fropi Alice, wrote. Mrs. Kelly in replying Inclosed a clipping from a local paper detailing Alice's suicide, which Mrs. Kelly's letter suggested, was due to Lee's drinking habit. Corresponded With Mother.

"Early In March, 1912, Lee was corre sponding with Mrs. Doughty affection- tely and also with her daughter Ma bel very intimately, anticipating hopefully meeting the 17-year-old girl. Lee's age apparently is between S6 and 64. During the correspondence Mrs. Doughty learned from a newspaper cutting that Lee had married another woman 24 Vears old.

"Despite the fact that her first daugh ter had gone away unmarried with this man and committed suicide, despite also that in March of this year she had heard that Lee had married another she endeavored, for a monetary consid eration I think $125 to send her daughter, Mabel, to Salt Lake City so that she might beco'me the third wife of this man. "Mabel will tell the court that she became suspicious of Lee's bona fides when he made a suggestion to her of fering 1000. Early this year he visited Liverpool, staying at a hotel where the mother allowed her daughter to visit him." The first witness, Laura, testified that Mrs. Doughty received $100 from Lee when Alice left with him and that Lee sent $100 toward the expenses of Mrs. Dcughty's daughter, Mabel, going to Salt.

Lake City this year. Mabel Doughty, a pretty girl, descrlb-irg Lee's first visit, swore: "I know Alice asked mother's consent to marry this man, but mother refused, ordering him out of the house. Alice ran away with Lee." She Tore t'p HI Check. Mabel testified further that when Lee came here this year she accom panied him every day shopping, to picture shows and theaters, and that she refused Lee's offer of marriage, but afterward consented, and then refused again. Lee produced a $5000 check, she said, but she tore it up, threw the pieces in his face and ex claimed: "If you make it $250,000 I won't marry you." Lee went away, Mabel told the Court hut returned, offering to give her mother $20,000 when she produced the girl In Salt Lake City.

Her moth er, she testified, then threatened to "cut the girl's head off if she didn't do what was right" Mabel's brother told her the life of one of his sisters had been spoiled by Lee who would spoil hers, too. The brother promised to stands by her. OLYMPIC DELAYED IN HARBOR FOR REPAIRS Liner Proceeds on Voyage After Hour and Half Wait for Arranging Steering Gear. NEW YORK, July I.

Free Golf Course in Forest Park Opened to Public Continued From Pago One. C. Scanlan, then Park Commissioner, welcomed the idea enthusiastically, and stated: "The Post-Dispatch has done a public service In advocating free golf links." The impossibility of obtaining the necessary appropriation for establishing the links caused the plan to fall for a time Into abeyance. But when Dwight F. Davl succeeded Scanlan he revived the proposition with much vigor and spirit He converted the City Comp troller to the cause, and recently the Municipal Assembly voted a sum of money for providing golf and other sports for the public In Forest Park.

Besides the lS-hole links, it is planned to establish 30 tennis courts, eight base ball diamonds, a football gridiron and croquet course and archery ranges for women, should these be desired. Davis estimates that the golf course can provide entertainment for S00 player dally, and that four persons can start on the links at three-minute intervals. Estimates as to the future popu larity of the pubUo link have been based on statistics from other cities. In one year in Chicago 400,000 person obtained permits to play golf on the two free course In Jackson Park. The two links In FrankUn Park, Boston, afford outdoor sport for 60,000 persons each year.

Cleve land's nine-hole course accommodates an average of 225 players every Sunday. In Buffalo 100 players regular ly use the city' free links. About 2300 annual permits are leaned for the use of the two courses in Cortlandt Park, New York. Kansas City on course proved so popular that a second haa been con structed.

A young man by the name of Skinner, who was formerly asqualnted with Schafer, saw him on the 6100 block on Easton avenue, recognized him and oalled him by name. Schafer responded, and while Skinner engaged him In conversation, he looked about for a policeman.

When he saw one, he called him, and Schafer made no objection to going to the Page Boulevard Station. Skinner telephoned at the first opportunity to W. J. Hughes, Schafer's fa ther-in-law, and Hughes, with Dr. William Foster of 3653 Caroline street and Clalrmont Daniels, In Daniels' automobile, went to tbe station.

Dr. Foster warned the others not to question Schafer about his wanderings of the last week, and this advice was followed, although Schaefer seemed to be fairly calm when they accosted him. He had just been reading a newspaper account of his disappearance, and spoke with some show of amusement of the various theories. All he told tbe police about his wanderings was that he had been, earlier In the day, at St.

Charles, and had just come from there when Skinner met him. In his general appearance, he showed traces of a week of hardship. His face was thinner than when he went away, his clothes were muddy and his collar loosened. He had not had a shave since he left. Talks of Examination.

Ilotnlllated by Failure. Dr.

Foster told yesterday of the mental strain under which Schafer had been since his failure to win a diploma. Schafer boarded at Dr. Foster's home before his marriage, and borrowed $50 from him about three weeks ago. He spent $25, Dr. Foster said, and had kept the rest in the Grand Avenue Bank.

When he learned. May that he had not passed his examination, Schafer said to Dr. Foster: "I am either going to kill myself or hide myself where nobody will ever find me. I am humiliated. I cannot face my friends." Bride la Country, Prostrated.

Before the marriage. Miss Hughes was extremely popular In the social circle in which the medical students moved.

Schafer Is from Moberly, and owns farm land the Income from which has helped to pay his school expenses. He was pressed for ready money after his marriage, and his failure in the ex arainatlons seemed to be too much for his nervous system to endure. The Interruption made in his studies by his courtship and marriage, and by the death of his wife's brother in an automobile accident, was believed to have caused his failure. Previously he had ranked high in his classes. KILLING IS SEQUEL OF INSULT TO WIFE Guilford Williams, of Sailor Springs, 11L, Fatally Shot by Delbert Levitt CLAY CITT.

She quotes him as saying that she had embezzled $5000 of his money, that she had embezzled his $5000 check, and that she and her mother and sister had conspired to emtfezzle the check, or, as stated in another way. "to keep the money." Fifteen sentences are quoted, differing slight ly in wording, as embodying the main statement by which Miss Bo-hannon alleges, Cabot slandered her.

The petition then proceeds to quote the statement which, it is charged. Cabot made to Jones, explaining the entire matter. This statement, which purports to be in Cabot's language throughout. Is In quotation marks, and is as follows: "I was subpenaed to appear In Houts' office here on Oct 23, 1911. in connection with the Investigation of the E.

G. Lewis affairs. I arrived In St Louis, Oct 22, and spent the entire day of Oct 23 in Houts' office undergoing examination. "I had been drinking for some days. I do not remember where I was Monday night.

Oct 23. I was obesessed with the idea that the Government was going to make an effort to attach, my property and money. I supposed I was being followed and watched, and therefore. Instead of going to my own home in University City, I went to Mrs. Bo- hannon's house.

Feared Attachment of Property. "I told her and her daughters that the Government was going to make an effort to attach my property and money. The suggestion was made that I had better make out a check for $5000 in favor of one of the daughters and date it back a few days, so that if any trouble came, as I was sure it would come, I'd telegraph and advise her to cash the check for me, so that I would be able to save that much. This was early on Oct 24. "I was in such bad shape, mentally and physically, that I could not appear In Houts' office.

Mrs. Bohan-non had one of her daughters phone my wife to come and bring a doctor. Dr. Paquin and my wife came. I told them that I had just given Helen a check for-45000.

I remember nothing for the rest of the day. For some days I was In pretty bad shape. I wento Sturgeon Bay, and after a few days I. stopped drinking and regained my right senses. "I saw then that I was foolishly worried, and that there was no reason to believe that my property or money would be attached, so I wrote my niece, Helen, to tear the check In half and send me that part carrying my signature.

"A few days later I was dumfound-ed to receive a letter from her thanking me for my "wedding gift. Of course, I came home at once. We went to their home and asked an explanation and demanded the money. They said I had given it to Helen to do as she wished with and dared me to sue. "On account of th notoriety of th Investigation of th E.

O. Lewi affairs at that time, I thought It best to defer action, but now that that matter has blown oyer and since they have shown a disposition to hold onto this money, I am determined to prosecute. There Is a conspiracy between the mother and the two sisters to keep the money, the mother and Helen being dominated by Irene M. Bohan-non." Declares Statements Are False. Th petition then proceeds to say that the statements quoted are false and slanderous, and were wantonly and maliciously made, with the de sign and Intention "to prostitute the machinery of the criminal branch ef the Circuit Court to th uses and purposes ef a oouectlen agency, and mr mt purpsn v.

Taft, that he deems the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt a reasonable safeguard against a national danger and disgrace." Wilson Is tnnt Foe, Declares Depew.

LONDON, July 6. Former Senator Chauncey Dep'w discussed with the Post-Dispatch correspondent the Democratic nomination of a university professor and admitted that In Woodrow Wilson the Republican party has a most formidable opponent "Having had the Idea that if a compromise was effected at Chicago the candidate should be the president of Yale. Arthur T. Hadley. I can't criticise the drafting of a college professor into politics," said Depew.

"It Is an experiment and the only trouble a seasoned politician has is how a professor's theories, developed In lectures to his class, will work out when he meets practical problems of government "I have studied careers all my Ufa, some very spectacular and starting accidentally, but certainly Wilson by sheer hard knocks and hard work and the test of discussion upon the platform has advanced further and faster than any man la my time with his party." Clark Declares He Is Loyally Supporting Wilson. WASHINGTON, July 6. Democrat throughout the country are urging Speaker Clark to forget the Baltimore Bryan-Clark Incidents and go to work for Wilson. It 1 feared that Clark attitude toward Bryan 1 hurting the party. Clark gave out a statement tonight declaring his loyal support of Wilson and urging his friends to stand by the nominee.

This statement was mad at the instance of Missouri Congressmen1 who have heard that President Taft Is profiting In Missouri by the Clark "sore" toe. Clark shows none of the bitterness of previous statement In the one he made tonight.

James "had a little secret to tell him on Aug. 7." "So I understand," he said. "I hear that he is to make a speech telling me that I have been nominated. I suppose I shall have to look surprised and say something about a little speech somebody or other has written for me, and let them have the speech." The notifi cation ceremonies' will be on the lawn of the "Little White House." After three breakdowns on the way, the four Missouri men who notified the Governor yesterday they would be here this afternoon, reached the "Little White House" tonight.

BONAPARTE'S 2d CHOICE IS WILSON Will Vote for Democratic Nominee if Roosevelt's Name Is Not on the Ballot p.cll to the Post-Dispatch. BALTIMORE, July 6. In a statement made today over his signature, Charles J. Bonaparte, who was Attorney General In Roosevelt's cabinet, ays: "It were futile to deny that the nomination of Gov. Wilson haa rendered the choice of CoU Roosevelt next November less probable, and his candidacy less obviously needful in the public Interest than would have been the case If the same Influences had triumphed here which controlled the Chicago convention.

"But It seem to the writer little less than absurd for any one to question that Roosevelt's candidacy will make the President's defeat even more nearly assured than It Is at present. "Some good people In Maryland may find It hard to understand how many hundreds of thousand of voter among the millions are alarmed, dlsausted and Indignant at the outrage on free gorernment at Chicago, yet cannot nuke up their mind to vot for a Democrat, even if he be such a Democrat as Wilson. These citizen may not be philosopher 1 tew of are. But they include many true patriots, many men who love justice and hate Iniquity, who despise from the bottom ot their heart the men who did the work don at Chicago and who, nevertheless, hesitate to help In placing a Democrat In the White House er the nation's prosperity, safety and honor in the keeping of the Democratic! party.
