CINCINNATI, July 27. Two important
events, politically, resulted from the
meetings and conferences in the final no
tinration day preparations today.
William H. Taft addressed a Joint meet
ing of the Ohio State Central and Execu
tive Committees, Identifying himself
closely with the state campaign and mak
ing it plain that whatever had been done
by Arthur I. Vorys and other state lead
ers had been recognized and approved by
him.
Just what is to be the status of Sen
ator Foraker at the opening of the cam
paign on September 6 is to be decided by
a special committee of the State Execu
tive Committee, appointed today. The
duty of this committee is to de
ride on . a speakers' programme, with
particular Instructions to report on the
advisability of Inviting the senior Ohio
Senator to make an address. It was
stated that the committee woud consider
the Foraker matter in three aspects;
Three Horns of Dilemma. , -
Whether, to invite the Senator to
pprak unconditionally, to Invite him on
condition that he Indicate in advance
the position he is to take or not to
Invite him. No prediction could be ob
tained as to which of these courses will
be pursued, or as to the probable re
port the committee will make.
The State Central Committee settled
the three county contests in favor of
"What Is termed the "simon-pure Taft
men.' Under the state law, each county
committee certifies an election judge to
the Secretary of State. When there is
doubt as to the validity of the certify
ing committee, the state official Is re
Quired to refer the matter to the State
Central Committee. The Meigs county
contest was decided in favor of T.
Erwin and against the Lindsey commit
tee; that In Gallia County was In favor
of tho Swltzer and against the Eagle
committee, and the Vinton County con
test was given to the Coultrap instead
f the Vallenweider committee.
Leaders Talk on State Campaign.
The joint session of the state com
mittee and executive committee, held
In the rooms of the Hotel Vinton, was
largely attended. In calling the meet
ing to order State Chairman W. F.
Brown referred to the resolutions of
the committee on Its organization, de
claring that the Republicans of the
etate are in favor of Taft for Presi
dent, and said that the present meeting
was a fruition of that action. Chair
man Williams, of the executive com
mittee, followed with an exhortation to
earnest work during the campaign.
Oovernor Harris followed with em
phasis on the value of thorough or
ganization for political effectiveness.
ana Armur l v orys spoke for some
minutes on the splendid ticket the
state nad to work for. With the state
organization perfected he saw no rea
son why an effective fight should not
be waged.
Judge Taft s speech concluded the
meeting. It was received with en
thusiasm and was greatly applauded.
He said:
Taft Inspires Party Workers.
My friends, before I set through with you
tomorrow you will understand the Importance
that I attach to the Information which haa
Wen hinted today and of which I shall re
ceive a full account tomorrow. I am not
liere to make a speech. I am here only to
have a friendly talk and to Identify myself
as far as possible with the Ohio campaign.
Knpublloann of this country have been in the
habit of electing to office their Ohio candi

If there wai to be an exception to that rule.
tut we should be very unwise to loee a con
troversy like this through over-confidence. Ve

that we are meeting: a large, strong party,
hfaded by an able, forceful and experienced
vanriUinte. and we should be exceedingly lm-IM-utUnt
if we belittled the force behind him

est in our cause requires. Orjcani nation in
such affairs In absolutely necessary.
It is necessary that we should bring out
the t-ote. It is necessary, therefore, that
the Issues, of which there are manv in
this campaign, should be clearly explained
to the voters. The men who are to bring
about these result in Ohio for the Repub
lican cause I am now addressing.
tiood Cause for Enthusiasm.
We have, as I shall hop to explain to
you. too, a just cause that may well arouse
our enthusiasm. We follow and hope to
continue an administration than which
there is no one which hai done more for
the country and than which there la no
one that ought to call out more enthuslastio
support. We have a state ticket every can

experience sufficient to Insure the proper
and competent discharge of his duties. We

proud of and whom it is a pleasure to
follow. 1
I shall have the close and personal and
useful assistance and aid of our friend
whom you and 1 know as "Jake" Vorys, He
has a faculty for telling you things you
ought not to do and that makes him one
of the most valuable adviser I know. And
he has nn energy for doing things that
makes a. lazy man like me admire him In
tensely. Democrats AVIn In August.
. Now. gentlemen, as I nay, I did not come
here to make a political speech. I only came
here to assure you that I hoped in this
campaign In Ohio to pull my weight In the
boat and to be on the ground to assist in
the carrying to victory of that banner
which Republicans of Ohio have always
r carried on a Presidential campaign. Our
ike canm la looking u um Xr-v
quently happens, to Ohio as doubtful battle
ground. If that person will withdraw his
energies from other parts of the United
States, we ought to welcome that hopeful
ness on his part, because I am confident
that the Republicans of Ohio will organize
as they ought to organize and will not al
low the state to go by default. As Mr.
Vorys has aald. the Democrats only carry
Ohio in August and that has usually helped
us to carry this and other states in No
vember. I thank you. my friends, for coming here.
I unnrenlate the opportunity of meeting you.
and I wish you to understand that every
one of you is a man whom 1 feel to be In
a common enterprise with me. If any one
of you thinks there is anything I ought to
know, I hope you will address me directly,
because I shall be glad to hear It. Any as
sistance that I can render you in the com
mon cause can be certainly counted upon. I
thank you.

breakfasted at the Taft residence, then
walked down Fourth street to the Hotel
Vinton, where he had an appointment
to review the programme for notification

"As I have sat for pictures in nearly
every city tn the country, he explained.
"I can hardly refuse a request in my
own city."
The purchase of a pair of spectacles
was the next task, and then Mr. Taft
wended his way with many salutes and
greetings, to the Taft residence. Again

REPLIES T0 SULLIVAN
President Congratulates Olympic
Game Team on Success.
OYSTER BAT. N. Y., July 27. When
the President received his telegrams
Aid mail this morning he found the
cablegram, mentioned Saturday, from
James E. Sullivan, United States Com
missioner at the Olympic games in
London, informing him of the splendid
showing of the American participants
in the contest.
The President immediately " sent a
cable reply to Commissioner Sullivan
saying:
"Heartiest congratulations to you
and team. Wish I could shake hands
with each man."
That the President will gratify this de
sire to grasp the hand of each of the
athletes there is no doubt. Secretary Loeb,
.when asked today whether the President
would go to New York when the victors
of the American team arrived there and
take part In the ovation planned for on
their arrival, said it was too early yet to
say in just what way the President would
extend his welcome.
He asked how many there are in the
team, and It Is thought that he had in
mind plans for a reception for the ath
letes at Sagamore Hill. It is expected
that when more definite information is re
ceived as to when the athletes will ar
rive, the President will announce whether
he will go to New York or ask the men
to come to Oyster Bay so that he may
meet and talk with them.

INTO SEWER FOR A DOG
Tenderhearted Rescuer Goes Down
at the End of a Rope.
New York Times.
A friendly little cur dog owned by
wandering ice cream peddler caused
nearly ail of Bloomneld, N. J., to become
excited.
In chasing- a cat the dog was meanly
tricked. The cat shot as if straight for
the mouth of a sewer at the curb of the
avenue, the dog close behind. But instead
of jumping into the opening, the eat skim
med over it and the dog dived In.
The peddler was ladling out slabs of
ice cream to a group of children just then,
and he and his little patrons saw the dog
disappear. They whistled down the hole.
and could hear the little dog splashing
about and) moaning pitifully for help.
With rushlights held in the sewer open
ing, the ice cream man finally made out
that his pet had managed to crawl Into a
pipe just above the level of the sewage.
There he kept howling for help. The ped
dler was distressed. Many of the children
began to cry. Then grown folks began to
gather, until there was such a crowd
that the police had to take a hand.
A nearby manhole was lifted, and it
was found that the pipe into which the
rog had crawled was connected with the
manhole. Whistles brought the dog to
this end of the pipe. He stuck his head
out and howled the louder at the sound
of his masters voice.
Citizens called to the superintendent of
publicworks by telephone to have the
street torn up to save the dog's life, but
before he agreed, Frank McConnell, Jr., a
driver, halloed from his wagon to know
what was the matter. He was told and
clambered down.
"The poor mutt," said he. "Get a rope,
quick.
The rope was easily found. McConnell
tied it under his arms, and with a hand
kerchief around his face to protect him
from the foul gases, he was lowered by
stout and willing arms into the manhole.
At a signal he was pulled up, the little
dog in his arms, wriggling in gratitude
and trying to lick the face of his rescuer.
The ice cream man offered McConnell all
his cream, and wept besides.
"Aw, that's nuthiny said McConnell.
"Giddap."
But as he drove away he received from
Bloomfleld's citizens three cheers, which
would have warmed the heart of any well
doer. TAKE UP OIL CASE

ABERDEEN. Wash., July 27. (Special.)
The lumber market shows signs of Im

fening of prices at Sen Francisco. Stocks
are much broken and depleted.
This is the opinion of C. C. Quacken-
bush, who went to San Francisco recently
with Al Coats, of the American Mill Com
pany, to investigate conditions.
We found, said Mr. Quackenbush
this morning, "a much better feeling than
was anticipated, and we look for a change
for the' better right away. While there is
no big prospect, the signs are really en
couraging, ,and that is something to con.

When Deal Is Completed Gould's
Return From Europe Will

CHICAGO,
the railroad
wrought up
the extreme
July 28. Wall street and
and financial world are
to the highest pitch over
possibility of the elimina
tion of George J. Gould from the galaxy
of railroad magnates and the substitu
tion of Edward H. Harrlman In his
stead. The matter became acute yes
terday, when It was stated that Mr.
Gould would return from Europe Tues
day and seek aid of . Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. In the refinancing and reorganiza
tion, of his railroad properties. There
are strong intimations that the bank
ing Interests will insist that Mr. Harrl
man be given control.
May Eliminate Gould.
Negotiations have been carried on for
several months between Mr. Gould. Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. and the Harrlman interests
concerning the Gould properties. As the
negotiations now stand, there is a fair
probability that thi will go through and
that the result will mean an entire
change and reorganization of all the
Gould lines in the East and the elimina
tion of Georgo J. Gould as autocrat of
the Gould system.
It is recognized In Wall street and even
in circles closely associated with Mr.
Gould that he cannot continue to stand
alone. Before he sailed abroad, Mbr.
Gould had many conferences on the Gould
situation In the East with E. H. Harri
man and also with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and,
while as yet nothing has been definitely
done, the matter will be taken up again
on Mr. Gould's return and there is a fair
probability that the idea will be car
ried through. The position of the Gould
lines in the East, as all know. Is pre
carious. The lines are in urgent need
of relief and most of them will get it
through reorganization.
Harrlman Greatest Railroad King.
The deal will make Mr. Harrlman the
greatest railroad king in history. He will be
in absolute control of vast systems from
ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes
to the Gulf. He will have power to dom

formidable competitor will be James J.

FAST WITH "PHOEBE SNOW
Chorus Trained and "Props" Made
Ready in Two Days.
(New York Globe.)
One of the novel surprises of the theat
rical season was not forthcoming until
the hot weather was well under way. And
then it remained for "The Mimic World,'
the new Shubert-Lew Fields review,
which is now running at the Casino The
ater, to produce it. Two days before the
production opened a song entitled
"Phoebe Snow" was submitted to the pro
ducers. It struck their fancy immediate'
ly, and they called in Ned Wayburn, the
stage director, and turned it over to him
with instructions to have it ready for the
opening night.
It was a good-sized contract the six feet
and some odd Inches that Mr. Wayburn
boasts of had in hand, but he went ahead,
and getting the suggestions for the "busi
ness from the verses or the piece, or
dered the stage carpenter and .property
man to get busy at once and construct
the "props" that were to be used in ex
ploiting Lotta Faust, who sings the song.
together with a group of handsome show
girls and agile chorus Johnnies. Mr. Way-
burn handed Miss Faust her copy of the
song and took the supporting people in
hand and kept at them steadily all day
Wednesday, with only short intervals for
eating. Right through Wednesday even
ing, and then on the job bright and early
Thursday morning, Mr. Wayburn gath
ered his "Phoebe Snow" forces and drilled
and drilled them until they had the steps
and "business" down so well that they
could go through the evolutions with their
eyes shut.
Meanwhile, the carpenter and the prop-
erty men were anything but idle. They,
the job, too, and when the eventful Thurs-
day evening came the finishing touches
were just being put on the last mechan
ical devices that were expected to make
the song a "go."
In the second act of "The Mimic
World" the orchestra started in on the
introductory music of "Phoebe Snow,
and Lotta Faust, dressed in dazzling
white, from hat to her slippers, came on,
followed by her background of assistants,
all carrying suitcases. The tune proved
catchy, and the audience found it a very
easy matter to start tapping feet in time
with the chorus, which invited Phoebe
Snow to go on a honeymoon, "where
there'd be lots of chance to spoon." But
it was not until the second chorus that
the surprise novelty of the song was in
troduced. Then, in a half minute, the
suitcases were quickly transposed into
one side of the interior of a Pullman
diner, complete with tables and furnish
ings. A ripple of applause started in the
auditorium and quickly grew Into a dem
onstration, which was redoubled when,
through a clever arrangement of lanterns,
the landscape seemed to fly past the win
dows of the mimic Pullman, giving the
effect of express speed.
All this time the lilting melody of the
chorus kept on, and Miss Faust and her
dancers hadto respond to encores until
nearly exhausted. The finish of the spe
cialty was Just as clever and unique as
the setting up of the dining car. At a
signal the sides and tables of the car
doubled up, and at the close of the final
chorus the suitcases were the only evi
dence that a minute before the audience
had been speeding at 60 miles an hour
through green valleys and wooded dells.

Senators Beveridge and Depew.
New York Tribune.
Beverldge. then a new Senator, had lust
made his famous speech on the Philip
pines, which had been praised by the
press throughout the land. He sat down
beside Depew, saying: "Senator, you have
heard me speak; you were a public speak
er before I was born. Now, please give
me the best advice you can as to my fu
ture. Mr. Depew complimented the Indiana
Senator on his fluency, brilliancy of ex
pression and care of delivery and con
gratulated him on his great success, but
Mr. Beveridge protested.
That is all very well, senator, no
said, "but It is not what I want. I want
your candid advice as how best to perfect
myself as a public speaker, and especially
as a debater in the Senate."
"Well, my boy," replied Mr. Depew,
the only advice' I have to give is this:
Speak seldom. Thoroughly master your
subject before you speak. Shun the aca
demic. Observe those few ruled, and with
your fluency and fine delivery you will
make one of the great debaters of this
body."
Senator Beveridge regarded the older
man with an expression of disapproval.
and then replied: "Senator Depew. I
have my faults, but, thank God, jealousy
Is not one of them."
