BITTER SPEECH IN OKLAHOMA
Commoner Defends Proposed
State Constitution.
ATTACKS REVISION POLICY
Says Republicans Always Find Ex
cuse fop Delay Argues for Phil
ippine Independence and Con
trasts Fate With Negro's.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. o.-Ten
thousand persona, heard William J. Bryan
here tonight reply to the recent address
of Secretary of War Taft upon the Oklahoma-Indian
Territory political situation
in Convention Hall, and 3000 persons who
were unable to secure admittance to the
auditorium attended an overflow meeting
nearby. Mr. Bryan was enthusiastically
received.
In addition to scoring Mr. Taft roundly
for placing: his personal ambitions above
the welfare of the people of Oklahoma,
and attacking- the views of Mr. Taft on
National policies. Mr. Bryan declared
that the constitution of the proposed new
state was even better than that of the
United States. Mr. Bryan said: .
Secretary Taft In his npeerh made In thi
territory a few days ago advised the peo
ple to reject the proposed constitution and
postpone statehood until another enabling
act can be secured. At first blush one.
might suspect that the Secretary's adVlca
was due to his personal interost In the next
election. lie might he accused of advising
the postponement of statehood with a view
to keeping seven electoral votes out of the
Democratic cilumn. but the more generous
view to take of the matter Is that his ad
vice resulted from his hah'ts of thought.
Calls Taft Great Postponer.
Ho Is Inclined to postpone everything.
He promises to acquire the- iltle o -tn
"Great Postponer."""
In a speech made not long ago at Co
lumbus, o.. he announced himself as. In fa
vor of tariff reform, but he would postpone
It until after the next election. He also
made an elaborate argument In favor of the
Income tax. but he would postpone It ' in
definitely. He agreed with the President
In regard to the wisdom of an Inheritance
tax. but that, too, he would postpone until
a more convenient season. He did not se
riously object to valuation of railroads, but
he did not declare for It Immediately. He
Is on the way to the Philippines to tell the
Filipinos that, while h? thinks they ought
to have elf -government - after awhile.- -he
wants It postponed for the present. It Is
not strange, therefore, that he should yield
to his ruling spirit In the matter of state
hood and tell you to put It off.
Mr. Bryan took up, one by one, Mr.
Taffs objections to the Oklahoma con
stitution and argued against the sound
ness of the Secretary's contentions. Mr.
Bryan continued:
Postpones Tariff Revision.
Have ycu read his Columbus speech?
If so. you will find in It an arraignment of
protection as we have It today an app-al
for a revision of the tariff, but he para
lyzed the force of his own speech by post
poning the tariff reform until after the
election. Tariff reform Is never undertaken
by the Republicans Just after a Republican
victory, because the victory is taken as au
indorsement of the policy, and is never un
dertaken before an election for fear It will
Interfere with another Republican victoiy.
' Th people of Oklahoma have no Interest in
the maintenance of a purely protective tar
iff. Secretary Taft did not discuss the trust
question; he wisely avoided It. because he
favors taking a backward step on that ques
tion. Rights of the Filipinos.
Secretary Taft also made a plea In favor
of Imperialism. Well, the people of Okla
homa have had enough experience with carpet-bag
government to know something
about a colonial policy. If officers ap
pointed by the Federal Government are so
unsatisfactory, what must be the feeling of
the Filipinos against officers of another race
sent across the ocean to administer a gov
ernment? I am glad that Secretary Taft
has referred to the Philippine question, for
his discussion shows that he believes In a
colonial policy and that he disputes the doc
trines set forth In the Declaration of in
dependence. While he, himself, seems dis
posed to acquiesce in the suffrage amend
ments adopted in the South, he overlooks
the fact that the black man of the South
has the protection of living under laws
which the white man makes for himself,
while the Filipino lives under the laws
which the white man makes for the Fili
pino, laws under which the white man
would not himself be willing to live.
Different From the Negro.
Then. too. the Secretary confuses two
questions that are entirely distinct. The
question la the South is not whether the
black man Is capable of self-government:
it Is whether he Is capable of conducting a
government under which the white man as
. well as the black man must live; In other
words, whether he Is capable of governing
the white man: while the question of the
Philippines is whether the brown man is
capable of governiag himself. " For the
' white man of the South to insist as a mat
ter of self-preservation on administering
the government under which both he and
the black man must live is one thing: for
the white man to cross the Pacific Ocean
and fa-slen a government on an alien peo
ple Is entirely another proposition, and the
Secretary is confused on fundamental prin
ciples If he cannot see the distinction. Im
perialism costs us more than one hundred
millions a year: weakens us by exposing
us to foreign attack and lays us open to sus
picion of having abandoned the Idea of self
government. Mr. Bryan spoke today at Vlnita,
Sapulpa, Tulsa, Brlstow and Chandler,
Oklahoma.

SHOOTS WIFE AND
KILLS HER CHILD
Drunken Husband then
Commits Suicide.
TEAMSTER'S TERRIBLE GRIME
Little Rhoda Bradley Dead,
Mrs. Charles Bailey. Dying.
NONE WITNESSES TRAGEDY
Last Quarrel , Between Estranged
Couple Results In Bloodshed 12-Year-Old
Stepdaughter Prob
ably Slain by Accident.
In a fit of drunken race. Charles
Bailey, a teamfiter. last night at about
6:30 o'clock shot and fatally wounded
Katie Bailey, his wife, killed his 12-year-old
step-daughter. Rhoda Bradley, then
turned h's revolver on himself, and with
two bullets ended his own life. Bailey
and his wife had been separated for
several weeks and the bloody deed was
committed fn the wife's lodgings In a pri
vate houee at 253 Giant street, where
she had been living with her daughter
since the separation. There were no eye
witnesses to tha tragedy. Neighbors who
hurried to the scene on hearing the shots
found Mrs. Bailey lying mortally wound
ed and speechless on the porch and the
man and child ln.sirie the house, dead.
Wife Warns Neighbors.
Bailey was seen by neighbors return
ing home with his wife about 6 o'clock
last night. The woman went Into the
house, and began preparing the evening
meal, while her husband and Tils step
daughter, Rhoda.walked down the street
to a grocery store, where they purchased
groceries and meat for dinner. While
Bailey was absent his wife went Into the
room occupied by her landlady, Mrs. Lula
McCully, and told her that she feared
BalleynMsht cum -trouble, as lie had
been drinking all day. Mrs. McCully
promised to remain l ear and to interfere
should Bailey commence to abuse his
wife. Mrs. Bailey seemed satisfied and
returned to her rooms.
Bailey and the little girl were next
seen on their way from the store. Xo
loud words had been heard and there was
no indication of lmprrdlr.g trouble, when
suddenly a number, of pistol shots rag
out. Persons who were near did not
count the reports and It is not known
definitely how many shots Bailey fired.
Child Accidentally Shot.
Tt Is thought by Coroner Finley and
others that Mrs. Bailey, seeing the
man draw the revolver, seized the child
to protect here and thereby brought her
to her death, as the first bullet evidently
hit the woman in the arm. passed
through it and lodged In the little girl's
brain. Mrs. Bailey then dashed out
the door. It is surmised, and was hit
in the temple by a sece--! bullet Then,
it Is inferred, Bailey, seeing that his
murderous work had been well done,
placed the revolver to his abdomen and
fired. Finding that the shot was not
fatal. It appears that Bailey, wounded
as he was, reloaded the revolver with
three shells and coolly blew out his
own brains.
Three empty cartridges were found
on the floor of the room and three
shells one of which waa exploded,
were found in the revolver. The
weapon Is a 38-callber gun, apparently
brand new.
Fireman First on Scene.
The first to reach the scene of the
shooting was J. H. Williams, a fireman.
He was sitting In front of his home,
at the corner of Second and Grant
streets, and ran to the house on hear
ing the shots. Mrs. Bailey's room was
on the first floor of the McCully house,
near the front door, and Williams
found her, apparently dying, on the
front porch. Stopping a moment to see
how hadly the woman was Injured.
FEW OF THE INTERESTING THINGS OREGON HAS
The I'blqultotin Gent Who Deals In
Advice Won't Overlook the Occasion.
Williams next ran into the front room.
There, on the floor, lay the corpseof
the little girl, her brown curls a mass
of blood, and beside It the body of the
stepfather. Williams hastened back to
the street, haled a passing automobile
and ordered the driver to bring of
ficers and a physician. By this time
Dr. Axelrood, a physician residing in
the vicinity, attracted by the shots,
had arrived, and found Mrs. Bailey still
alive. He did his best to revive her,
but found that she was beyond hope.
Auto Driver's Good Work.
In the meantime, the automobile, driven
by E. M. Norcross and owned by W. H.
Moore, was tearing down Seventh street
toward the police station. Before Nor
cross arrived, however, neighbors had
telephoned headquarters and a squad of
officers In command of Sergeant Cole
were on their way to the scene. Nor
cross hailed the passing patrol wagon.

and asked the police to get .Into the auto.
They did so and were taken to the McCul
ly house at breakneck speed.
Taken to the Hospital.
When the police arrived and found the
man and child dead and the woman mor
tally wounded a stretcher was devised,
and the Injured woman placed on It. The
stretcher was arranged In the automobile
and the machine headed for St. Vln-N
cent's Hospital. Again Norcross drove
north with all speed and reached the hos
pital In a few minutes' time. He received
due praise for his good work. Coroner
Finley was then notified and on his arri
val removed the bodies of Bailey and
Rhoda Bradley to the morgue. . -
Bailey ahd hia wife were incrrlel about
three years ago, but had never lived
happily together on account of Bailey's
intemperance. Iast Fall Bailey's habits
drove the woman from him. They lived
apart for a few months, then on his prom
ise to reform, they began housekeeping
together once more. Continual abuse
again drove the woman away, but the
breach was healed over In a short time
and the couple were again reunited for
a time. During her entire married life
Mrs. Bailey had been forced to support
herself and at the time of her death was
working In the Union Iaundry as an
ironer.
Leaves Him tor Last Time.
The last quarrel between the Baileys
was about four weeks ago, when they
were living In a flat down town. Bailey
returning home one night drunk, choked
and beat his wife and but for the timely
Intervention of a neighbor, might have
killed the woman. Mrs. Bailey then left,
as she said, for good and all, and fearing
for her safety and that of her daughter,
took lodgings at 253 Grant street. She
had often told Mrs. McCully - and others
of her fear that Bailey would kill her.
Three Children Remain.
Besides the murdered 'child,' Rhoda,
Mra. Bailey has three children, all by
a first husband. Two sons, William
Bradley, aged 17, and Gerald Bradley,
aged 14, reside with their father at
Goble, and a daughter, . Florence, 7
years old, is with Mrs. Bailey's mother
at the latter's home,' 773' Multnomah
avenue. Mrs. Bailey's mother is Mrs.
H. J. Bevis. Three brothers. U H., Sam
and John W. Bevis, live in this city,
and there are four lsters:. Mrs. Mary
Taylor, of Dufur; Mrs.' Maybelle Eng
lish, of Deer Island, and Mrs. Annie
Nichols and Mrs. Jennie Nichol, both
of this city.
Mrs. Bailey was. born. in. Portland 37.
years ago, and Is the daughter of John
Bevis. a pioneer of 1862. She was
married to John Bradley in 1887. Four

MAY BE CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Congress Will Probably Debate Sale
to Japan or Some Other Nation.
Might Help to. Prevent a
War With Nippon.
ORBGONIAN NEWS Bl'RKAV, Wash
ington, Sept. 6. There are indications
that the Philippine Islands may again ba
made a political issue, and it is not un
likely that the issue will be' raised in
Congress next Winter. If the issue is
met and disposed of, the Philippine ques
tion will then be allowed to rest for a
period, but, if there Is no action, It is
quite probable that an effort will be
made to inject a Philippine Issue into
the next Presidential compaign.
The agitators who have stirred up the
Philippine question In the East are not
demanding that the islands be turned
loose and that the people be thrown on
their own responsibility, as was de
manded by the Democrats In recent years.
The present question Is, shall the United
States retain possession of the Island.s,
or shall it sell them to Japan? True,
this question was discussed at some
length shortly after the Spanish War, at
the time the Democratic party feared that
the United Sates was going to its doom
because it was entering upon a so-called
"colonial policy." But the question of
the sale of the Islands never took definite
shape, and that problem was never
seriously com.idiered by Congress. The
Republican party decided to hold the
Islands until their people were capable of
self-government, and that settled all
correlative questions.
No Good as Investment.
During the years the United States
Government has administered the affairs
of the Philippine Islands it has been
demonstrated that the care of Insular
possessions Is quite coBtly, excessively so
when compared to the monetary benefits
derived. There ,are not a few men In
public life, Republicans among them,
who think It would be good business pol
icy for the United States to dispose of
the archipelago by some honorable means
and thus rid Itself of the heavy drain on
the Federal treasury.
Viewed purely from the standpoint of
dollars and cents, there is a very strong
argument in favor of the sale of the
Philippines, but the United States did not
acquire the Islands as an Investment; in
deed, it had no expectation of .acquiring
them when it went to war with Spain.
When hostilities were concluded, how
ever, conditions were such that the
United States was morally bound to take
the Islands from Spain and, onee having
taken them, It was morally bound to see
that their condition was improved.
'.May Be Debated in Congress.
When the old Philippine Issue was sub
mitted to the voters, they unhesitatingly
rejected the Democratic "scuttle" policy
and refused to turn the islands adrift to
become the prey of other nations, or, at
beet, again to fall Into the control of the
lawless bands of natives which were once
supreme. That Issue will -not again be
raised, for to raise It would be useless.
The only way that the United States can
get rid of the Islands at the present time,
if it is decided to dispose of them, is
by sale to some nation, and the natural
purchaser would be Japan, i
There is much to be said for and
against the proposal to sell the Philip
pines, and it Is probable that it will all
be said after Congress assembles In De
cember. From a business standpoint the
retention of the Islands cannot be de

fended, except as to the possibilities of
future development. The time may come
when the islands will not only cease to
be a drain upon the United States treas
ury, but will actually become revenue
producers, but that time is probably re
mote and, when it arrives, the United
States, under present policies, would
probably be ready to turn the islands
over to their own people. From this it
will be argued that the United States
will shoulder all the expense of civilizing
and modernizing and educating the-Filipino
people, while the natives derive all
the benefits.
No Glory In Selling Islands.
Viewed in a patriotic light, howeVer,
the new issue appears differently.
There would be no particular honor
attaching to the sale of the islands,
though. It' Is equally true, there would
be no disgrace. Yet the sale would be
repulsive to a great number of the
American people, who like to see a

thing carried to a successful conclu
sion once it is undertaken. The sale
of the Philippines would be far more
honorable and much more highly com
mended among the Nations of the
world than would their outright re
lease. Nevertheless that spirit which
manifested itself when it was pro
posed to release the islands would un
questionably reassert Itself If their
sale should be seriously proposed, for
the question of our duty to the
Philippines is as great today as it was
when they first entered our possession.
They are not ready for self-government;
the education of the people Is
far from complete; the subjugation of
tho. lawless tribes is not completed.
Much remains to be done. If objec
tion to the sale should be made on
these grounds it could only be met by
positive assurances from the purchas
ing nation that the work of education
and improvement would be continued
as faithfully by the new owners as it
has been conducted by this Govern
ment. Might Arouse IH-Fcellng.
Then there is the possibility of interna
tional complications. Could the United
States make an outright sale of the
Philippines to Japan without arousing un
friendly feeling on the part of Great
Britain and Germany? Both those nations
have large holdings In the Orient, and
they would undoubtedly feel that they
should have the refusal of the Philip
pines before they are offered to Japan.
The entire group might be put up at
public auction, to be sold to the highest
bidder, in which event one of the Euro
pean powers might outbid Japan. That
would cause hard feeling on the part of
the Japs.
Assuming the United States decided to
sell to Japan, what guarantee should we
have that the Filipinos would be given
the same opportunities for advancement
that are afforded them under American
rule? If Japan gave a guarantee and
failed to live up to it, this country would
have to resort to war in order to see
that the Filipinos got a square deal, and
such a war would hardly be sustained by
popular sentiment, once the Islands passed
from the control of the United States.
Avert War With Japan.
Advocates of sale point out that the
United States is soon to have a large
battleship fleet in' the Pacific, and the
very presence of the fleet would serve as
notice to the world that we are ready
to protect our insular possessions any
time It may become necessary to resort" to
force. These advocates believe that the
United States could drive a "good bargain
by selling the islands white the fleet is
in the Pacific. Moreover they argue that,

ADD NEW LAURELS OF PEACE
Not Satisfied With Results
Gained at The Hague.
BRITAIN IS CHIEF SUPPORT
French and German Ambassadors
Will Join Several Important
Questions to Be Settled Xc.tft
Message Will Be Greatest.
WASHINGTON, Sept. o.-( Special.)
The latest rumor affecting Rooseveltian
activity is to the effect that the Presi
dent intends to call a "Peace Congress"
of his own to embrace the Ambassadors
of the powers accredited to Washington
as soon as they return from their Sum- .
mer haunts.
An anonymous diplomat, who is held
responsible for the novel move, explains
that the President is not at all satisfied
with the results of The Hague Peace Con
ference, and Is determined to add an
other WTeath of laurels to his crown of
peace before he leaves the White House.
It is stated that Ambassador Jusserand
of France and Ambassador von Stern
oerg of Germany have signified their
willingness to participate In such a con
ference. Britain Will Co-operate.
James Bryce, the British Ambassador,
Is to be Mr. Roosevelt's chief support
during the meeting, according to the ru
mor, and, if the reports are to he be
lieved, he has already received authority
from King Edward to co-operate with
the President as far as possible, the pos
sibility being left entirely to ths Am
bassador's discretion.
The information is added that not only
will the future peace of the world be
generally discussed, but that several
other International matters, such as Chi
nese affairs, the Pacific question, Corea's
future, the Drago and Monroe doctrines.
South African territories and any other
questions which Interest two or more
nations In divers ways will, be taken up.
M-vsage Will Be His Longest.
Announcement from Oyster Bay that
the President will return to Washington
several days before he leaves on his trip
to the West Instead of going West di
rectly from his Summer home, has filled
the capital with surmises as to what may
be In the wind. It Is taken for granted
that something Important is on the tapis,
which the President wants to get started
before he starts out on his last speech
making expedition prior to the next Con
gress. There probably will be a Cabinet
meeting before the President leaves town
on September 29, and trust matters are
regarded as likely to form the subject
of a long discussion. Plans for the Fall
and Winter campaign, with respect to
railroads and corporations generally
probably will be discussed, and some at
tention will be devoted to the annual
message to Congress, which, according
to present rumor, will be the longest as
well as the most important of the Pres
ident's career fn tho White House.
THE! MUST PLAY FAIR
MAYOR BUSSE SO NOTIFIES CHI
CAGO LIQUOR DEALERS.
Charter Campaign Must Not Be In
terfered With by False Cry of
Puritanical Interests.
CHICAGO. Sept. 5. (Special.)
Mayor Busse. standing for the entire
city as against one of its component
factors, served notice on the liquor
interests of- Chicago today that they
must play fair in the charter cam
paign. The Mayor personally served
notice on Austin J. Doyle, manager of
the Brewers' Exchange, representing
the allied brewers of Chicago and Mil
waukee, that the saloon Interests of
the city shall no longer be permitted to
raise the false issue of "Blue Laws,"
a "Puritanical Sabbath" and "Restrict
ed Personal Liberty" in connection with
the anti-charter campaign.
In his conversation the Mayor hinted
that there might be sucn a thing as
the closing of the saloons on Sunday,
which would continue during his ad
ministration, unless the saloon inter
ests changed their attitude toward the
new charter.
"You are playing the dog-in-the-manger
act." said Mayor Busse to Mr.
Doyle. "You are angered because you
cannot do what you want and the way
you want to do it. By a systematic
campaign of falsity and misrepresen
tation, you have injected the saloon
issue, into the charter contest. I have
been fair with the saloon Interests, to
say the least. Now I propose to maka
you play fair with the rest of the city
of Chicago."
