True bills on these Indictments were returned by the grund Jury at !i:tu o'clock, immediate application was made for warrants, and the police at once uifested Hie Bradlcys and All McCall. The latter declared his Inno cence anil George Kradley refused to talk. Sheriff's olllcers arrested lan McCall and his daughter at their homes in the outskirts of the town.

He told the grand jury that a man railed at his office and said he was there on behalf of a man he described as his friend. He asked Dr. Williams If he would perform an operation on a girl and the doetor emphatically said no, but If he would send the girl to his office in company with a respectable woman he would make an examination. The next day the girl of the photograph culled and told her story, and requeste'd him to perform an operation, which he promptly refused. The doctor was called Into an adjoining room, and when he returned the girl was gone. Dr. Williams was directed Wednesday to a pool room In Hendersonville where "Boney" Bradley was. He en deavored to engage Bradley In con versation, hut without success. He Is not positive, hut thinks Bradley is the man who called at his office. The man now wears a beard, and Dr. WiH linms would be able to say for certain whether he is the man if this were removed, he says. A Stubborn Cum. ' Since the, discovery of the decom poned body, later Identified by her brother as flint of Myrtle Hawkins, in Osceola lake on Sunday, September 10, an enormous amount of effort has been expended In searching out evi dence that would eonrieet these per sons with the girl's death. To llnd objects for the linger of suspicion proved an easy task; the discovery of tangible evidence was another matter. A professional and presumably a skilled detective was culled Into the case ami;' made some discoveries, but nothing conclusive. Inciil jind visit ing newspaper men. went over the rase piece by pliice .'Solicitor. A-.- Hall Johnson attended life inquest and as sisted in the endeavor to unearth Its mysteries. The local olllcers of the law- hnve been constantly alert for In formation.; Slowly, bit by bit, enough evidence lias accumulated to enable the grand jury to lind true bills. Jt has been a stubborn case. The sus pects, If guilty, have evidenced steady nerves or remarkable lack of imagina tion. Tlie Coroner's Inquiries. . '. What the coroner's Jury empaneled the day following the discovery of the body may have suspected, or what detinite Information it may have re ceived is not known. At any rate, it returned u verdict that "the deceased came to her death by means unknown to the jury." Soon thereafter newspaper reports declared the existence of evidence of a crime. Rumor becume rife; public opinion clamorous. On September 13 a second inquest was convened, and on the twentieth a second verdict, es sentially the same us the llrst, was returned. Facts were developed that thu girl and George Bradley had been friends; that the father of the girl previous to her disappearance, the Thursday be fore the body was found, hud ques tioned her and secured from her a promise to write her mother, telling of her condition; that she hud done so, saying she was going away; that she and Mrs.. Beatrice Mi-Call were in t'mate friends: and that she died as the result of a criminal operation. - All the persons arrested yesterday. President's Manager's Refusal to Accept Primary Test Aids HE DEFIES PRESIDENT Roosevelt. TO VETO TARIFF BILLS Gazette-News Bureau. Wyatt Building, Washington, March 9. The progressive pressure for popu lar primary tests of public opinion and the Taft manager's Insistent re fusal to accept any such guage of sentiment, has already rushed the Tuft campaign to the point of a col lapse. While Chairman Dixon of the pu- tional Koosevelt committee Is fore Ing his demand upon the Taft organ Izatlon, and while the Tale people are sparring for wind and ' time, the Koosevelt tide Is rising so high that machines, committees, office holding organizations, state and local bosses, are loosing their moorings. In a statement yesterday Chairman Dixon called attention to this situa tion and accused the Taft organiza tion of a rule or. ruin policy that pro. poses to run the party or wreck It. Happy Over (Jrccnsboro Message. Senator Dixon was more than happy when he received a telegram frotn Greensboro saying 80 per cent of thi district leaders In North Carolina were lor Colonel Koosevelt. The crisis In this situation has been precipitated by the Taft organization's repudiation of the remarkable pri mary held in Kansas City. - The regu lar organization planned the primary amV the Taft people made no protest against It until It was over, and House velt had polled 15 votes to Tuft's one. Then the Taft bureau announced that It would not accept the result; would irgard the primary as illegal and un authorized, and would send a contest ing delegation to Chicago. To thlr Senator Dixon retorted with his rule or ruin bulletin. Dixon's Statement. .."The attitude of .the .T'lXt manngiers inward the presidential preference primaries has not been more boldly end unblushiugly indicated than in (omieelion with the primaries held Thursday In the Fifth Missouri dis tiict" (Kansas City), said Dixon. "The regular republican organization pro iiled for the primary in a perfectly regular way. Over .linen votes were last on presidential preference iiml Mr. Koosevelt received a trifle more than 13 to Mr. Tuft's I. Immediately I he Taft managers announced that the primary was Illegal and would be eon tested at the national convention They will hold a rump convention and select Taft delegates from the same district "This can only he construed as deli nite announcement of a purpose to contest wherever Taft delegates are defeated and' ; Roosevelt delegates chosen. There will be Just us much justlllcation for contesting the House .tit delegation, who are certain to he chosen in every state that has a presi dential preference primary law there Is for a contest In the Fifth dis trlct of Missouri. "This sort of procedure makes per feetly plain the rule or ruin policy of the administration managers. They seem obsessed with the idea that be tween the federal officeholders and the expected acquiescence of the Ha tional committee, they can select and seat their own sort of Says This Issue and That of Trust Control Insure Re publican Def ea,' in Com ing Election. Frankfort, March S. Speaker ( hump Clark was a guest In the capi tul of -his native state today. He re counted to the Kentucky legislature the record mude by the democratic party in congress. ; "We have absolutely kept faith with the people," he declared. "W huve redeemed or are redeeming ev ery promise mude to win the elections." Declaring the tariff and the ques- tion of trust control will overshadow other Issues of the coming presidential campaign. Clark said: resident rati, .1 is said, proposes to veto any tariff bills we pass. We welcome the Issue. We do not believe it can lie blinked at, postponed, min Imized or shunted out of the way. The present tariff laws raise $330,- 1X10,1100 annually and it is estimated that every time one dollar goes Into I'ncle Sam's coffers under the high protective tariff system, about S3 goes into the pockets of the tariff barons, This boing true, then a high protec live tariff costS; thtji people of this country a billion dollars and a half yearly. It is a gross outrage and cruelty upon the taxpayers." Clark said that on the strength of this condition ha hoped for Indepen dent support of the democratic candi date this year. Clark declared the republicans undoubtedly would at tempt ti cloud inuifjidliitt Issues and lure us-away Trnjh the tariff, and trust question because .they realize that on these issues we will defeat them most' decisively." y.

The application was re- the second inquest and all stoutly de sisted by the solicitor and by Stuton navmg any Knowieuge m or com Kector for the private prosecution, Judge Ewart representing the McCalls and W. A. Bmlth the ftradlCys. It was act forth that llrst degree murder could not be charged; that the defen dants had been under suspicion for a long while as a result of the inquest and hud not left the community ami it was absurd to think they would do so. The nature of the case considered, It was argued that Incarceration would be an unwarrantable hardship. The. motion was refused as to each of the defendant, and all were remanded to jail to await trlul at the May term " of Superior court. The prosecution stated to the court that for obvious reasons the defendunts had been con fined seuuratelv. and that It was deemed necessary that such separate confinement bo continued. Owing to the crowded condition of the Hender son jail It, would be necessary to semi two of them to the Buncombe jail. This was ordered, and It was left to the defendants to agree who would be sent to Asheville. It Is understood the Kradleys will be sent, probably reaching Asheville on the Carollnu tqicclal at 7:20 this evening. The defendants appeared hi court looking' haggard, but perfectly com posed. The arguments as to ball con sumed nearly two hours. It Is believed that none of them would have any ilUTIculty in making bond. All Hendersonville is of course deeply Interested In the developments In this much discussed case. The at titude of neighbors, however, s might be expected.

President raft spoke here last night upon the recall of Judges and the recall of judi cial decisions. His remarks could be- interpreted as a reply to the recent .speech of Colonel Theodore Koosevelt at Columbus, at which the colonel ad vocated those policies, although the president did not refer to Colonel Koosevelt or his speech, by word or inference. I'ttetiy without merit or utility, and reactionary instead of progressive; crude, revolutionary, titl'ul und un stable were the terms In which the president referred to the recall meth od of reversing judicial constructions of the constitution. . "I have examined this proposed method of reversing judicial decisions on constitutional questions with care," President Taft said. "1 do not hesi tate to say that It lays the axe at the foot of the tree of well ordered free dom and subjects the guaranties of life, liberty and property without rem edy to the fitful impulse of a tempo rary majority of an electorate." The president began with a refer ence to. the development of represen tative government In the 1'nlted States. The best government, he said. iml that which was most certain provide for anil protect the rights of every class, was that government in whieh e.verv elasj had a voice. '( lot eminent "by 'unanimous "vote' f the electorate," he said, "Is impos idle nnd therefore the majority of the Ipctonite must rule. We find that government by the people, is there lore, under our present system, gov rmnent by a majority of one-fourth if those whose rights and happiness ire to lie affected hy the course ana induct of the government. This Is Hie nearest to a government by the whole people we ever had. Women's suffrage will change this and it is doubtless coming as soon as the elec torato can be certain that fnust wo men desire it and will assume Its bur- Ion and responsibility. Minority Must l I'rotceled. it was long ago recognized that direct action of a temporary majority of the existing electorate must be limited by fundamental law; that is by a constitution intended to protect CMnul. the Individual and the minority ol tne lectorate and the non-voting major itv of the people against the unjust or the arbitrary action of the majority of the electorate. President Taft quoted at length from Daniel Webster s speeches on the necessity of maintaining checks and balances in a constitution to se tt re the guaranty of individual' rights and well ordered liberty: and then leu up to his discussion of the Judiciary, It is a complete misunderstanding of our form of government," the pres ident said, "or any kind of govern ment that exalts justice and righteous nesa. to assume that Judges are bound to follow the will of a majority of an electorate In respect of the Issue tor their decision.' The Judiciary, he said, was not rep resentative In the sense that the ex eclitive and the legislators were, whether judges lie appointed or elect Columbia. March Allegations that Governor Cob; K. lilease before and since his election to the govern orship had been in closei association and full sympathy withl dispensary grafters und statements tlhat charges by him against the Ansel dispensary winding-up board were "fa.lse and out rageous." were features otf the testi mony-given by Dr. W. J. Murray of Columbia and J. Steele Bryce of York ville yesterday before true legislative committee which is inveiltigaling the manner In which the liquidation of the former state dispensary has boon conducted hy two successive hoards. Dr. Murray was chairman and Mr. Bryce, a member of the first or Ansel winding up commission, summarily dismissed by Governor Blettsc. for "in competency." Mr. Bryce denied charges made by the governor in messages to the gen eral assembly that the Ansel board was "incompetent and hatf benefited unlawfully from its work." He de manded to be confronted by his ac cuser. Senator Wharton of the in vestigating committee said Governor tlease had been asked to appear, but hud refused.
