FDRAKER REJECTS
RULES FOR VOTING
Declares Conditions of Ohio
Direct Primary Un
reasonable. TOO MANY SIGNATURES
Says Call for Convention Requires
Excessive Number or Names on
Nominating Petition and
Also Is Illegal.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 3. A flat refusal to
be bound by the conditions of the call
for the Republican state convention which
Is to name a state ticket and select dele-ffates-at-large
to the National convention
la the conclusion reached by United
States Senator J. B. Foraker and an
nounced in a statement given to the
press here tonight Primaries for a test
of strength between W. H. Taft and Mr.
Foraker as Presidential candidates were
provided for in the official call, and the
method provided is sharply criticised by
Senator Foraker. The statement. In part,
follows:
Given Stone Instead of Bread.
I am not sure I understand the call, al
though I have read It several times. H I
do. It la another case of asking- for bread
and settln a stone. My idea in requesting
primaries was to have the election ot dele
gates brought home to the people, so that
In each ward, for Instance, we could select
cur Immediate representatives. This call
makes ell that Impossible.
Jn addition, it prescribes requirements not
authorized by the statute and not withlu
the power of the State Central Committee.
Some ot them are very burdensome. One
In particular Is the requirement that before
there can be a Taft ticket or a Foraker
tickot there must be a petition signed by
20 times the number of candidates for dele
gates and alternates. That would mean In
this county aoout 4000 signers or petition
ers. , ,
The unreasonableness of the requirement
that there shall be 4000 petitioners to
authorize a ticket is shown not only by the
fact that the law makes no. such require
ment, but that In cases where the law
authorizes county and city officers to be
nominated by petition only 800 names are
necessary to nominate any county officer
and only 50 names are necessary to nominate
any municipal officer.
Will Ignore Conditions.
If. In the contemplation of the law. 50
signers are enough to authorize placing a
man's name on the ticket for Mayor of
Cincinnati or Cleveland, certainly It la be
yond nnythln? contemplated by the law
that 4000 signers should be necessary to
nominate a lot of delegates and alternates
merely to attend the state convention. Such
a condition Is unnecessary as well as burden
some. It should be enough for each party
to select its own ticket and then let the
people vote their preference..
The counties are not bound to follow the
order of the State Central Committee, but
' whether they will do so or not I am not
advised. So far as I am personally con
cerned. I shall make no effort to comply
with such uncalled for. Illegal and arbi
trary conditions.
DEFENDS COMMITTEE'S ACTION
Vory's and Attorney-General Says
Call Is Fair and Legal.
.. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 3. When shown
Senator Foraker's statement. Arthur I.
Vorys, Secretary Taft's campaign man
ager, made the following statement:
"I . believe the call is fair, reasonable,
sensible and legal. We shall comply with
It and abide, by the results."
Attorney-General Waddell made the
following statement:
The call is easily understood. It provides
a direct primary for the selection of dele
gates to the state convention by counties,
and an opportunity for every Republican
elector to express at the polls his choice
for President and for the candidate for the
Presidency to have his own ticket in each
county with his own name at the head of
it. It seems to have been very carefully
prepared under the primary election law of
Ohio, and appears to be fair to all.
In the Judgment of the State Central Com-
' mlttee a provision requiring that tickets
shall be proposed by petitioners to the num
ber of four per cent of the Republican vote
in a county Is not unreasonable, the pur
pose of the restriction being to avoid burden
ing the ballot with tickets not supported
by sentiment substantial enough to Justify
recognition.
Beyond any question the State Central
Committee has power to call a state con
vention, the delegates to which shall be se
lected In any manner the committee may
deem best. as. for example, by primary elec
tions. In the various counties under the
provisions ot the primary election law.
DICK FOR FORAKER TO LAST
Not Climbing Into Bandwagon De
nounces Primary Call.
AKRON. O., Jan. S. "J am for For
aker first, last and all the time, united
States Senator Dick said today. "Re
ports that I desire to climb Into some
one else s bandwagon is false.
"1 think the time set for the pri
maries and the convention is entirely
too early." said Mr. Dick. "AH of the
conditions of the call are arbitrary and
hard to comply with. This is excep
tionally truo of the feature which pro
vides for the nomination of delegates
by petition.

WORKED ENDLESS CHAIN
How Walsh and His Gang Bled Bank
and Railroads.
CHICAGO. Jan. 3. Substantiation of
the "endless chain" system which figured
in the Government's case against John R.
Walsh was given today by J. N. Faith
orn. ex-vice-president of the Chicago &
Alton Railroad, a witness for the defense.
Mr. Falthorn and Walsh formed a syndi
cate in 1900 to take over the Wisconsin
& Michigan Railroad.
On cross-examination Mr. FaithQrn ad
mitted that he secured certificates of
stock in the syndicate, but that he did
not pay any money therefor. Instead he
gave a note for 350.000 to the Chicago Na
tional Bank. When the note felflue it
was cancelled and paid with another note.
It was brought out through this witness
that first mortgage bonds of the rail
road to the extent of 3905.000 were bought
up by the syndicate at 25 cents on the dol
lar and that some of them were sold to
the Chicago National Bank at 95 cents on
the dollar.
Arthur Thatcher, a mining engineer,
testified that the Missouri extension
of the Illinois Southern Railway,
which Walsh has promoted, was a
reasonable and proper proceeding, since
it enabled the road to enter the lead
fields of Missouri.
W. R. Borders, a private banker, of
Sparta, 111., was called to. substantiate
charges made by the defense that C. H.
Foreman, one of the witnesses for the
Government, was prejudiced against
Walsh. He was asked if,-1n a telephone
conversation. Foreman had said to him:
"What we want to do Is to railroad the
old man to the penitentiary, for that
will mean another receivership and a
good thing for us."
The witness declared that was the sub
stances of the conversation, although he
did not believe that Foreman used the
word railroad.

DETERMINED TO FIX PRICE
Conference Follows Raid in Which
e
Three Men Are Shot and Build
ings Dynamited No Call
for Troops.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. fl. Although
all Is apparently quiet tonight in the war
between the tobacco-growers of Kentucky
and Tennessee and the American Tobacco
Company, the developments of the day
have given great uneasiness. Tha town
of Russell ville, which was raided by night
riders early this morning, was quiet to
night, but the Sheriff and his deputies,
the police and the citizens were on the
alert to prevent any repetition of the
outrages. It was decided by the peace
officers and the leading citizens tolay, in
view of the improbability of another rais,
that - the Governor should not be asked
for troops.
. Fall to Agree on Price.
The most disturbing news of the day
was the failure of the Burley - Tobacco
Society at Winchester, Ky., and tne chief
buyers for the American Tobacco Com
pany to agree regarding the marketing of
the 1907 crop, held by the society. Tne
society offeree) 60,000 hogsheads, but the
buyers would bid on only 10,000. To this
the society Anally agreed, but demanded
15 cents a pound for It. The buyers re
fused to give more than 12 cents. Tho
Burley Society issued a statement tonight
after the failure of the conference, de
claring that, after making the conces
sion In regard to the amount to be bought
and failing to agree on the prl're for the
smaller amount proposed by the com
pany, the growers asked the buyers If
they would consider further compromise
propositions. The buyers, according to
the statement, declared that further
propositions were useless. The statement
concludes
Trust Dictates Terms.
"The attitude taken by the buyers to
day demonstrates conclusively that the
American Tobacco Company is the only
buyer left for our tobacco, and that it Is
determined to fix its own price."
A further conference between the buy
ers and the Burley Society has been
called for Frankfort tomorrow In a final
effort to reach a settlement, but it is
feared the failure of today's negotiations
may increase the friction in the tobacco
districts.
NIGHT RAID ON RCSSELDVtLLE
Riders Blow Up Warehouses and
Shoot Three Prying Citizens.
RUSSELLVILLE. Ky.,' Jan. 3. Night
riders. 100 strong, swooped down on Rus-
senville, Logan County, early this morn
lng and after overpowering the three po
licemen and providing against the giving
of an alarm, dynamited and burned the
two independent tobacco concerns in the
city and several other establishments and
rode away out the Hopkinsvllle and
Clarksvllle pike.
Three men were wounded and "the tele
phone girls and police were held prison
ers for nearly three hours.
The following buildings were destroyed:
Frank G. Work, tobacco warehouse,
building and contents: loss 315.000.
American Snuff Company, factory and
contents; loss, 315,000.
Roberts & Brown, planing mill; loss,
Sli.OO.
Alfred Underwood, grocery; loss, 32000.
King & Procter, stable.
Joshua Knowles, house.
Captain W. B. Bruce, the Chief of Po
lice, as soon as he heard the noises, hast
ened to the fire, where he attempted to
sound: the alarm, but was overpowered
by four of the masked night riders.
Two merchants, J. R. McLean, nronrl
etor of a grocery store, and J. Henry
Moseley, proprietor of a dry goods store.
did not hurry Into their homes as fast
as the night riders desired, and were
shot.
Tho most seriously injured was Dr.
Roberts, who was a guest at the Forest
House. He was wounded about the head
and face by a charge of buckshot fired
as the night riders were leaving town. He
heard the confusion, and, thinking that
IJ) e riders had departed, ran out to see
what had happened. He came face to
face with a group of the de"parting mob
and as be started to run was shot.
It was said that the mob came to
Ruseellvllle from the direction of Cave
Springs, near where the members "are
said to have had their rendezvous. The
mob seemed to be well organized, with
a head and lieutenant. All the men
were mounted and wore whits cans,
false beards and masks. Except for
the shots at those who appeared on the
streets, there was little shooting, the
chief business of the mob seeming to
be the destruction of the two, tobacco
houses.
This is the third raid, which has
been made in Western Kentucky, and
comes In the face of the announcement
of th3 Governor that disorder must
cease. At this time a court Is In
progress at Hopkinsvllle, investigating
a similar raid which was made on that
city several weeks ago. Troope are
now on guard at Hopkinsvllle.
The night riders are attempting to In
fluence or intimidate certain tobacco
growers into holding their crops for high
er prices. The situation is particularly
acute at this time, as many of the grow
ers have two years crop on hand.
Warehousemen have been notified from
time to time to refrain from buying any
tobacco and many of them who defied the
notice have had their houses destroyed by
f.re. Nearly all the- tobacco-growers are
members of the Tobacco-Growers' Protec
tive Association, but this organization
discountenances such acts as have been
cretMted to the night riders.
READS BROWN'S LETTERS
Assistant District Attorney Discov

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. J. Dalzell
Brown, former general manager of the
California Safe Deposit & Trust Com
pany, now in jail charged with embezzle
ment, today asked for permission from
Judge Dunne to secure certain personal
papers from his box In the vaults of the
Safe Deposit Company. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney William Hoff Cook ac
companied Brown to the bank building.
When Brown opened the box Cook took
possession of . everything it contained.
Among the papers were 15 letters written
by Walter J. Bartnett to Brown. At-
tnrnav Orwik aftae rasilffip thA lottwrs ts
elded that they clearly showed that
Bartnett was fully aware that the Colton
Securities had been sold and the proceeds
used to brace up the shaky condition of
the bank. Cook said the correspondence
gave indisputable evidence that Bartnett
was well informed concerning all of the
questionable operations of the institu
tion's officials.
YEAR'S BUSINESS OF BANKS
Large Aggregate Increase, Largest
Percentage Being in West.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3. Bank clearings
for the year at nearly all cities in the
United States -as reported by R. G. Dun
& Co.. reflected larger settlements-
through the banks than in any preceding
year, notwithstanding the restriction in
payments during the last three months.
Omitting New York City, wnere tne
smaller value of stock market operations
reduced the volume of bank settlements
very materially, total exchanges for the
year are 357,588,711,972, an increase of 4.2
per cent compared with 1906 and 14.8 per
cent over the figures of 1905. There is
a small loss in New England andp'the
Middle Atlantic states, due almost wholly
to losses at Boston and Philadelphia, but
in all other sections of the country an
Increase is shown. '
The. West leads in the percentage ot
gain, but there is a' small Increase in the
South and at Pacific Coast points. At
Chicago there Is a considerable gain;
also at' Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit,
Milwaukee and other leading centers.
In thA Far West. Kansas City, Minne
apolis, St. Paul and Denver show much
larger clearings than in any preceding
year. St. Louis reports an Increase and
Baltimore a small gain, but at Louisville
and New Orleans there is a decrease. The
nrozress of events during the year is
quite clearly reflected in the average
daily figures for each quarter.

CONFESSES FALSE ENTRIES
Bookkeeper in California Sate Bank
Receives Orders From Brown.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan 3 Another
sensational chapter was " added to the
California Safe Deposit & Trust Company
scandal yesterday when H. L. Storrs,
one of the bookkeepers of tne concern,
broke down under a merciless cross-examination
and confessed that the false
entries in the books were in his hand
writing, and had been made under or
ders from J. Dalzell Brown, the impris
oned manager, and J. D. Robertson, the
fugitive assistant secretary.
The confession made by Storrs was
complete in every respect, and established
the fact that nearly $1,000,000 had been
falsely added to the assets of the bank
in order to deceive the State Commis
sioners. More than 3500,000 had been
fraudulently added to the account , of
Brown, Walter J. Bartnett and the San
Francisco & San Joaquin Coal Company
alone. In order to balance the books,
Storrs said that a like sum had been
charged against depositors in the bank.
The confession of Storrs was made in
the bank building at California and Mont
gomery streets, after he had been sub
jected to a searching examination by As
sistant District Attorney William Hoff
Cook and Theodore Kytka, the handwrit
ing expert.

BONFILS-PATTERSON CASE
Doubt as to Who Struck B'lrst Blow
in Encounter.
DENVER, Colo., Jan. 3. In the trial
of Fred G. Bonflls, of the Denver Post,
on the charge of assaulting Thomas
M., Patterson, principal owner of the
Rocky . Mountain News and the Denver
Times, the cross-examination of Mr.
Patterson was concluded today. He
denied positively that he had urged
Mr. Bonflls to run for Congress and
offered his candidacy in return for as
sistance from the Post In his campaign
for election to the United States Sen
ate, or for any other reason.
Four witnesses of the encounter be
tween the two men testified that Mr.
Bonflls kicked Mr. Patterson down artd
struck him after he was down, break
ing his spectacles. . These witnesses
were unable to describe exactly the
relative positions of the two men when
the first blow was struck. Mr. Pat
terson had testified that Mr. Bonflls
struck him from" behind and on behalf
of Bonflls it is contended that they
were facing each other when he struck
Mr. Patterson. .
The witnesses corroborated Mr. Pat
terson's statement that Mr. Bonflls
threatened to kill him if Mr. Bonflls'
name was used again in Mr. Patter
son's' newspapers.

FINED AND JAILED
Butte Labor Leaders Are Sen
tenced for Contempt.
JUDGE HUNT STATES LAW
Man Has Inalienable Right to Work,
Union or Nonunion No Man,
Rich or Poor, Is Super
ior to the Law.
HELENA, Mont. Jan. 3. Judge Wil
liam H. Hunt, in the Federal Court,
late today gave a verdict of guilty
against three of the four Butte labor
leaders on the charge of contempt of
court in violating; the injunction of the
court restraining them from interfer
ence with the operations of the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Company.
Joseph Shannon received a sentence of
90 days Imprisonment In the county
Jail. William Cutts was sentenced to
90 days' Imprisonment and a fine of
$250, while A. E. Edwards was given a
sentence of 90 days' imprisonment and
$100 fine. R. C. Scott, the fourth ae2
fendant, was discharged..
During the day s session the defense
continued Its efforts to prove an alibi
for the accused men. Among those
who occupied the stand were Joseph
Shannon and William Cutts, who testi
fied in their own behalf.
Right of Man to Work.
In rendering his decision on the case,
Judge Hunt spoke In part as follows:
God gave man his hands, his back and the
right to use them as he pleases. It Is an
Inalienable right. No power can take It
away from a man. No cower can compel
him to work. No power can compel him to
stop work if he desires to work. When a
man or any set ot men take it upon them
selves to say that they are the law and to
defy the process of the courts, to defyh
police authority of the land, to usurp the
authority of established government, to
upset the very base of society in which we
all live, there Is a power which will come to
the rescue of the man who Is wronged In
that way. and that power is that which pro
tects you and protects me. and must con
tinue to afforq us all protection, -else all pro
tection, ail government is destroyed.
Limit to Unions' Power.
After declaring that a non-union
man has as much right to labor as has
a member of a religious creed or of a
political party, and that the defendants
would have been no more Justified In
abducting a laborer because of his be
ing a Christian, a Jew, a Democrat
or a Republican, Judge Hunt con
tinued: The function of a labor organization is
usually to elevate the standards for men
to raise to higher levels men who labor. It
Is a noble aim. It has accomplished an in
estimable amount of good. I don't believe
there is a Judge or a student in the land
who would decry the organization of labor
ing men. But the great principle that men
lose sight of Is that the rich as well as the
poor must always move, circumscribed by
the limitations- of the law. No corporation,
be it the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company or any other. Is superior to the
law, and. on the other hand, no man who
works for it or any one elBe is superior to
the law. .
Shannon was a member of the first
Legislature and Is "now president of the
Montana branch of the Western Fed
eration of Mlacrs. Cutts is business
agent for the Carpenters' Union.
Shannon's Excuse Rejected.
Shannon admitted having escorted
one Woodmancy from the telepone
building to the Miners' Union Hall,
where his photograph was taken. He
justified this on the ground that
Woodmancy was an employe of a con
struction company rather than of the
telephone company, whereupon Judge
Hunt remarked that he would have to
show under the law his right to seize
a man on the streets and take his pic
ture, adding that the hearing was on
the violation of an Injunction and the
laws of the land rather than union
rules.
