TAFT IN OHIO.

Taft today. He talked from Cincin

aker's stronghold, with a portion of
the territory Democratic. The can
didate was listened to by large
crowds.
In Zanesvllle the speech of Taft
went after both Bryan and Oompers.
"Bryan goes about the country say
ing I am the father of Injunctions,"
declared Taft. "It Is not true. I do
not Invent injunctions In labor dis
putes. But It Is quite natural Bryan
should make the mistake, because In
a letter he wrote to the district at
torney of Belmont, 0., he said he had
not read my decisions."

"THE CLANSMAN.
The Portland Baptist Ministers Want
Play Suppressed,
PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 13. That
the play of "The Clansman," adver
tised to be produced In this city. Is
a detriment to the colored people of
the city and prejudicial to the best
Interests ot the community and that
it should be prohibited by the mayor
and council, Is the sense of the min
isterial alliance of the Baptist
churches of the city, as expressed In
their meeting yesterday.
The motion was Introduced by the
Rev. B. B. Johnson, the colored
preacher and pastor ot Mount Olivet
church, who said that wherever this
play has been produced it has been
attended with bad results; that It
stirs up animosity toward the colored
race, and leads to deeds of violence.
Rev. Mr. Barr, a visiting minister.
alBO of the colored race, spoke in
support of the motion, showing that
the play had been produced In I
Springfield, III., but four weeks be
fore the bloody race riot In which
many persons lost their lives.
Rev. W. T. Jordan said that the
author, Tom Dixon, is a personal
friend of his, and that though he be
lieved that the events of that period
covered by the play and the book,
the reconstruction days In the south,
could never be exaggerated, still he
regretted that the book had been
written and that a play had been
from It. He expressed the opinion
that we are far enough from those
days to let them die and said that he
would vote for the motion. There
was no dissenting voice when the
motion was put.
SOCIALIST LIE NAILED.
Story of Starving School Children Is
Grossly Exaggerated.
CHICAGO. Oct. 13. The Social
ists received an awful wallop today
when city officials and charitable or
ganizations began an investigation
of tbe charge that 15,000 school chil
dren are on the verge of starvation in
this city. This story has been seised
upon as a fine line of ammunition
wherewith to bombard the existing
order of things. The Investigation,
however, shows that In a great ma
jority of cases the children are hun
gry because one or both of their par
ents are drunkards.
The fathers, In most cases, are
loafers who work only long enough
to get drinking money, leaving their
families to shift for themselves while
they make Socialist speeches In sa
loons. Instead of 15,000 cases, tbe
Investigators cannot find one-eighth
of that number.
In some cases the fathers are mak
ing good wages, but spending their
money in paying walking delegates,
buying drinks for gangs of loafers
and wind up the week by beating
their wives and children and break
ing furniture that has not been
pawned.
FOR AUTO HIRE.
Hearst Sued for Drayage Daring the
Big Quake Fire.
8 AN FRANCISCO, Oct 15. With
in five days William R. Hearst must
answer the summons that he has In
his possession today. Issued against
him in a suit for $10,000 for automo
bile hire. The action was brought
before Judge Morgan by Sol J. Levy,
who alleges that he removed valu
able papers and files from the office
of the Examiner during the fire of
1906. Two automobiles were used in
the transportation of Examiner prop
erty and Levy considers the amount
a fair compensation.
The bill was presented to the Ex
aminer two weeks ago and payment
was refused. Hearst was served
with the summons after leaving the
Central theater last night. He re
fused to discuss the matter.

ELKINS MAKES STATEMENT.
Denies In Vigorous Terms Engage
ment of Daughter and Auruszl.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 13. In an au
thoritative statement to the Associ
ated Press today. United States Sen
ator Elklns ot West Virginia branded
as untrue an alleged Interview ac
credited to his wife to the effect that
there was no engagement between
Miss Katherlne Elklns and Duke
d'Abrussl.
In an emphatic manner. Senator
Elkins said that neither his wife nor
himself could give such Interview,
for the simple reason that it was Im
possible to deny something that did
not exist.
Senator Elkins talked to tbe As
sociated Press over the long-distance
telephone from Elklns, W. Va , and
was much exercised over the numer
ous wild reports, published from
time to time, concerning the alleged
engagement ot his daughter to the
Italian duke.
"There Is no foundation for the
many reports," he said. "Neither In
Europe nor In America has any an
nouncement of an engagement been
made. There Is no engagement."
