OPINION OF CLOSE OBSERVER
Church Questions. Play Great
- Part in Campaign.
CATHOLICS FAVOR TAFT
Grateful for Fair Treatment In Phil
ippines Protectant Incline to
Bryan, Animated by Suspicion
of Taft'a Orthodoxy.
NBW TORK. Aug. 17. (Special.) "If
the Republican bosses, with President
Rnoseveut at their head, defeat Governor
Hughes for renomlnatlon. the chances are
they will at the same time defeat Taft
for the Presidency."
The foregoing- remark was made by a
Republican, a man of wide observation
and excellent Judgment. I quote his state
ment without indorsing it, for the pur
pose of Introducing the highly Interesting
reasons which he brought forward In
support of his prediction. In fact, he of
fered a new view of the Presidential cam
paignone which has up to this tune
been largely Ignored, but which. In my
opinion, must from now on command a
share of the public attention.
Church Will Play Great Part.
In many parts of the country and from
a great variety of men I have heard
hints of the importance of church or re
ligious factors in this year's campaign,
some helping the Republicans and some
helping the Democrats, but It remained
for this New Yorker to point them out in
a most Impressive way.
"Whether we like It or not. and most
of us do not like it." said he. "church
questions are going to play an Important
and perhaps a determining part In this
year's National campaign. What we may
broadly call the church Issue has been
precipitated most sharply here In New
Tork by the opposition of President
Roosevelt and nearly all the Republican
leaders to the renomination, of Governor
Kughes.
Dlviding Line Among Churches.
"First, It Is no secret to any one that
the Catholic people feel quite friendly
to Taft. as they have a perfect right to
feel, out of gratitude for the fair and
Impartial manner In which he treated
them In performing his official duties
in the Philippines. That Is a perfectly
proper and natural feeling.
Second. It is undeniable that Catho
lic friendliness to Taft has produced a
little reaction of lukewarmness among
some of the members of Protestant
churches. This, also. Is quite natural,
and not to be criticised, because we
must taken human nature as we find it.
Question Taft's Orthodoxy.
'Third, what we may call a small
drift of Catholic sentiment toward
Taft and of Protestant sentiment
toward Bryan ts helped along by cer
tain other factors which rightly or
wrongly are playing their part.
"Conspicuous among these is a be
lief which has gained currency In some
parts of the country that Judge Taft,
as a Unitarian, is not altogether or
thodox In his religious views. Some
go so far as to believe that he la an
agnostic Whisperings to this effect,
which no doubt do him great wrong,
are already heard In many circles."
HTXJHES OR DEFEAT TAFT
Schurman Says w Tork Bosses
BsTe Alternative.
NEW TORK. Aug. 17. In reply to
newspaper comments and inquiries
about his attitude toward the Repub
lican nomination for Governor, in con
nection with which his name has been
mentioned. President Jacob G. Schur
man. of Cornell University, furnished
a statement today, in which he says:
"In my judgment there is only one
man for the Republican party to nom
inate for Governor this year, and that
man ts Charles E. Hughes."
After reviewing Governor Hughes'
administration. Dr. Schurman alludes
to the opposition to nls renomlnatlon
on the part of certain leaders in the
state and says:
"If they are sagacious politicians,
they will consider not their own in
jured feelings, but the character of
the political forces by which the re
sults of the elections are to be deter
mined. So doing, they will perceive
that to reject Governor Hughes In
favor of any person whatever would
be to repudiate the reform policies to
which the Republican party, not only
in New Tork State, but, thanks to
President Roosevelt, throughout the
Union, is today committed; and this
great betrayal would provoke resent
ment and Indignation that might easily
cause Mr. Taft the loss of the electoral
voto of New Tork. to say nothing of
its effect on the doubtful states In
which Republicans are vigorously do
ing reform and opposing reaction."

NEW TORK, Aug. 17. Of far more in

F, Arm la. advertising agent of a maga
zine, on Saturday at the Bayside Yacht

men who sought to prevent the tragedy,
was evidence which came into the hands
of District Attorney Darrln, bearing upon
the motive for the shooting.
Hains Gave Bail for Annis.
It was established that Captain Hams
and Mr. Annis were on such friendly
terms that they went automoblllng to
gether as recently as May 29 last. Two
women were'in the party, and the police
believe the women were Mra Halns and
Mrs. Annis. A motor cycle policeman ar
rested the party for speeding on Ocean

court and Is still on the calendar.
The party was In Annls' automobile

Enmity Aroused by Brother.
"I have also been told by friends of
Captain Halns and Mr. Annis that this
friendship ceased after a talk Captain
Halns had with his brother, T. Jenkins
Hains,-" said the District Attorney. "I
Intend to have T. Jenkins Halns tried
as an accessory before and during the
fact, as I believe he Is as guilty as his
brother. It was a letter to Captain
Halns that made the latter hurry home
from the Philippines and question his
wife regarding her alleged conduct with
Mr. Annls. and it was T. Jenkins Halns
who prevented anyone from stopping
Captain Hains from shooting Mr. Annls."

ACCIDENT, JURY'S VERDICT
Same Place Scene Three Tears? Ago
of Suicide of Young Man, Who,
in Fit of Jealousy, Threat
ened Wood's Jjife.
HTLiSBORO, Or., Aug. 17. (Special.)
With a hole in his heart, evidently made
by some blunt instrument, Robert M
Wood was found dead early this morning
near the barn of H. D. Jennings, at Gas
ton. 12 miles .south of here. Beside the
body was a sharpened stick, bloody at
the point.
Deep mystery envelopes the case. A
Coroner's Jury, after examining the prem
ises and taking the testimony of H. D.
Jennings and wife, at whose house Wood
had been making his home for three
years, returned a verdict of accidental
death.
His Idfe Ono Attempted.
Wood lived with the Jennings family.
Three years ago an attempt upon his life
was made by Allen George McDonald,
who believed Mrs. Jennings, of whom he
was enamored, was In love with .Wood.
McDonald killed himself when he found
his attempt at murder was a failure and
he himself was facing arrest.
Notwithstanding this former tragedy
and its unfavorable implication as re
gards Mrs. Jennings, her husband de
clares his relations with Wood were
friendly and that there was no Jealousy
between them. In this statement Jen
nings is Joined by his wife.
Testimony Secured at Inquest.
According to Jennings, he and Wood
arose about the same hour this morn
ing. Wood went to the barn to do the
milking, while Jennings, whose wife la
an Invalid, remained to prepare break
fast After a few minutes Jennings went to
the barn to get the milk, when he found
Wood's body, so he says, prostrate In
front of the barn door. Some blunt in
strument had pierced Wood's heart,
breaking one rib, and according to the
doctors' evidence, penetrating nearly
through the vital organ. The only thing
on. which blood was found was a piece
of manger grating made of wood, about
three feet in length. On the sharpened
point of this was .blood, extending a dis
tance of an inch and a half.

If Courts Decide Against Them,
They May Recover Damagea
From Municipality.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17r (Special.) While
it Is not believed that much of the prop
erty burned by the mobs at Springfield
was insured, all of the insurance com
panies so far heard from say they cannot
be held liable for losses sustained through
such causes.
Their policies contain a standard provis
ion exempting them from liability when
the loss is caused by riots, mobs or civil
insurrection. This exemption has almost
universally been upheld by the courts, a
few exceptions being the recent decisions
in Kentucky growing out of the night
rider cases, where warehouses and Btocks
of tobacco were burned.
If for any reason the companies should
be held responsible for the losses at
Springfield, In spite of the riot clause con
tained in their standard policies, they
could pay and take subrogation of the
owners' right to collect from the munici
pality, should the law hold the latter
liable in such cases. The situation Is cer
tain to result in a great number of dam
age suits being filed against the munici
pality, whichever way the courts "decide
in the insurance eases.

Political Prisoner.
TEHERAN, Aug. 17. A state of ex

dents of Ispahan closed the bazaars and
sent out an armed posse, which over
took the Shah's men having Nurulla in
charge. They released the prisoner
and returned to the city with him in
triumph.
It is feared by the adherents of the
