CHEERING NEWS FOR TAFT Visitors From North Dakota, Illi nois and Minnesota Confident of Republican Victory In Those States. MOT SPRINGS, Va. Aug. X. While the announcement cannot be definitely mafle, Mr. Taft today gave It aa hie be lief that "Wade H. Ellle. Attorney-General of Ohio, will accept the position aa assistant to the Attorney-General,' to succeed Milton D. Purdy. who had been promoted to a Federal judgeship in Min nesota. This opinion was expressed after a conference between Mr. Ellis and Mr. Taft today. Optimistic political information was brought to Mr. Taft from several sources today. Though he participated In sev eral conferences, none of them, he said, was at his Initiative. Want Taft to Visit North Dakota. 6enator P. J. McCumber, of North Dakota, bringing with him James Ken nedy, Republican National committee man from the state, were unannounced visitors. Mr. Taft was Informed that North Dakota wanted to be included in any speech-making Itinerary that might be arranged for him. Speaking for his own state, as well aa Minnesota and South Dakota.

"But," added Senator Hopkins, "my opinion la that Bryan's record as a Ire trader will more than offset the votes he will get front Gompers." TALKS INTO PHONOGRAPH Judge Taft Speaks of Good Work of Foreign Missions. HOT SPRING Va., Aug. 28. "A lit tle sermon in a phonograph." is what one of the phonographic records recently made by Judge Taft is called. The gen erally expressed curiosity' to know what he said to the talking machine was grati fied today by this reproduction: "I have known a good many people who were opposed to foreign missions. I have known a good many regular at tendant at church consistent members that religiously, if you choose to use that term, refused to contribute to for eign missions. I confess that there was a time when I was enjoying a snug pro vincialism, that I hope has left me now, when I rather sympathized with that view. Until I went to the Orient, until there was thrust upon me that responsi bility with reference to the extension of civilization in those far-distant lands, I did not realize the Immense Importance of foreign missions. The truth is, we have got to wake up in this country; we are not all there is In the world. There are lots besides and there are lots of people besides us that are entitled to our effort and our money and our sacri fice to help them on in the world. No man ean study the movement of modern civilisation from an Impartial standpoint and not realize that Christianity and the' spread of Christianity are the only batris for hope of modern civilization in the growth of popular self-government. The spirit of Christianity is pure democracy. It is the equality of man before God the equality of man before the law, which la as I understand It, the most Godlike manifestation that man has been able to make. "I speak not of foreign missions from a purely religious standpoint. That has been and will be done. I speak of them from the standpoint of political govern mental advancement, the advancement of modern civilization, and I think I have had some opportunity to know how dependent we are on the spread of Christianity for auy hope wo may have nf uplifting the peoples whom Provi dence has thrust upon us for our guid ance." HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE Kan Francisco Woman Accnsed Importing English Girl. of SAX FT5ANCI3CO. Aug. 26. Deputy Cnlted States Marhals Towle and Nolan bave arrested Jessie Hay man, keeper of a disorderly resort In this city, on a charge of having In her control Ethel May Southwood, a native of England, brought to this country for Immoral pur poses. The woman was later released on bonds In the sum of $10,000. The arrest follows the crusade of the Government against the Importation of women into this country for immoral purposes. The Immigration department has a number of agents gathering evi dence and it is anticipated that a num ber of other arrests for the same offense will be made soon. A treaty has recently been made be tween the United States and a number of other countries whereby the importation of women for immoral purposes is made an extraditable offense. TAFT IS TRULY MODEST Declines to Attend Campaign Open on Novel Grounds. TOUNGSTOWN. O., Aug. X. Congress man James Kennedy, who went to Hot Springs to try to persuade William H. Taft to attend the National Republican campaign opening here September 6, quoted the Republican candidate as saying that he would not attend aa he could not bear to hear himself praised.

Rear-Admiral Sperry, commander of the American fleet, and the other Admirals, returned to the ships yestprday. Arrangements are now being completed for the departure for Melbourne early tomorrow morning. The British cruisers Powerful and Challenger sailed this morning for Mel bourne. One hundred of the officers and men made an excursion today to Parramatta for the purpose of receiv ing an illuminated address which the residents desired to present. They re mained there for some time, enjoying a view of the district and points of historical interest. After the recent reception on board the battleship Connecticut, it was found that a large number of the spoons and forks Inscribed with the name of the flagship were missing. They were probably taken as mementos, but the officers, accustomed to such things, charitably suggested that they were eaten with the Ices and cakes. PASTOR ENDS HIS LIFE LEAVES 1 1iETTER DECLARING CHTRCH IXSIXCERE. Could Never Worship "America's Trinity Success, Pleasure and Gold." NEW YORK. Aug. 28. 111. half blind, criticising the church on the score of un truthfulness and Insincerity and declar ing he could not worship "America's trinity success, pleasure and gold." Rev. Albert H. Trick killed himself in a room In Mills" Hotel today. He was once pas tor of a Presbyterian aiiurch in Chicago and later had a charge at Saratoga, N. T. The former pastor lift a letter to Charles N. Dowd of this city, which in part fol lows: "I have never been able to conquer an inborn contempt for the place money has in this world, though knowing so well how absolutely a fair amount of it at least is necessary to all of us. I could never adapt myself, in view of my early ideas, to the methods by which money is made. These are so transparently selfish and more or less unscrupulous, whether used by the church or the so-called 'world.' I could never worship America's trinity succes, pleasure and gold. "I rejoice in the better day dawning when society, with its superstitions and errors, like all the other religions of men, shall have passed away and religion it self, free and simple, religion that has a passion for truth. Justice, love and lib erty, purity and humanity shall prevail. Ye gods, what does the church care for these things for truth, etc.? It twists all the facts, philosophy and expressions of liberty, to make them square with their petty traditions and systems of a day. The day will soon come when the world will prove that, sacred as the place that Jesus holds In the world's es teem, they are no more bound by what he taught, did, and thought, than they are by the precepts of Robert IngersolU and the modern churon more nearly fol low this exemplary, kindly and honest American than they do the Oriental." CAPTAIN LANDS IN JAIL Master of American Bark Charmer Accused of Conspiracy. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. Captain H. C. Kill am, of the American bark Charmer, which arrived yesterday from New castle. Is facing a serious charge and the probability of having to go to Alaska to stand trial. He was arrested upon his arrival in port today by United States Marshal Towle. and charged with con- West Coast Commercial Company, to de fraud the United States Government out of a license tax in 1905. At the time the offense Is alleged to have been committed Captain Killman was master of the ship Agenor, and it is claimed that he applied for a license to permit him to salt and ship salmon. He went with his ship to Blind Point, Alaska, and loaded on 15,000 barrels of salted salmon and sailed away to Yoko hama with the load without having paid for the license, it is alleged. Captain Killman was about to go to the hospital to undergo a serious opera tion, but now will be compelled to forego this and appear heOTe the United States Court at Juneau. FENCES PROTECT RANGE Save Sheep in Eastern Oregon From Wild Animals. O R EGO NI AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 25. Fencing the range to protect sheep from the attacks of pre datory animals hag met with excellent results in the Wallowa National Forest, Oregon. The problem was to find a strong fence that would make the sheep secure, even without the care of a herder. The chosen fence, which Is built of woven wire with barbed wire on the top, has kept out all the minor animals suoh as wildcats, lynxes, and coyotes, but hae not withstood the at tacks of the bears, which are apparent ly able to pass through It with little trouble. Sheep numbering 2200 were placed in the enclosure, with their lambs, on June 20, and have been allowed to graze at their free will, with no attention what ever from any herder. They have done splendidly, and as far as the observa tion of those in charge of the experi ment goes, a given area grazed by sheep under such conditions will carry more sheep on an acre than one grazed under the charge of a herder. Tracks along the fence show that predatory animals come to the fenca constantly and follow It around, but, with the ex ception of the toears, do not seem able to enter. The hunter employed by the service for hunting predatory animals in -the vicinity of this fenced enclosure has killed no less than six large grizzlies this season, besides numerous other an imals of the predatory class. The results of this experiment are so satisfactory thus far that private in dividuals are profiting by It. J. W. Em mons, of Troy, Oregon, has a large area of private land fenced with a special wire fence, 'in which he has this season lambed a herd of 670 ewes without a herder's care, and with very little at tention and great success. Mr. Emmons is extending his fence, for he finds that It pays. Careful record will be kept of the weights of lambs raised inside thle fence, with a view of comparing them with the same grade of lambs raised outside the fence on the same class of range, so that any gains or losses -p weight and growth may be determined.

HAGEERTY Keepers in New York Zoo Teach Monkeys to Talk. HARVARD EXPERT OUTDONE LaUer's Efforts Are Devoted to In vestigating Simian Psychology. Practical Men Go Step Fur ther In Their Investigation. NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The investiga tions of Melvin Haggerty along the gen eral lines of monkey psychology at the Bronx Park Zoo, have spurred the keep ers of the Central Park Zoo to unwonted activity of late. Two of them are now busy with an experiment by which they say they hope to beat the Harvard ex pert at his own game. While Mr. Haggerty has devoted ' all his energies to trying to teach the mon keys new tricks, thereby creating an op portunity to see Just how Important a part suggestion and imitation play in their dally life, the keepers at the Cen tral Park Zoo have gone further. They are trying in a modest way to teach the monkeys under their care to realize the significance of spoken words. They say that the results of their ex periments have been surprising. One of the monkeys haa not only learned the sig nificance of several words, but has de veloped a limited vocabulary of his own, apparently realizing what the words mean. Patrick Canan. keeper of the Central Park monkey-house. Is the leading spirit in these irecent experiments. He has been assisted by Keeper Robert Hurtin. Baldy Brightest Pupii. The most likely ot all the monkeys in the Central Park monkey - house is Baldy. There is also a Baldy In the Bronx Park Zoo on which Mr. Hag gerty has experimented a little. But the Bronx Park 'Baldy is a chimpanzee of the black-faced species. The Central Park Baldy Is a ring-tailed monkey and got his name from a tendency to bald ness on his pate. Baldy is a noisy little chap. His chattering is louder than that of all the other monkeys. Keeper Canan had noticed that several of the ring-tailed monkeys In their chat tering almost always used sounds1 which seemed to end in ."ch." Most of the sounds made by the monkey tribe sound ed, in fact, like "each." They made that sound when excited or when the keepers appeared with food. They made it at play ahd sometimes when in deep mood. There was a different intonation, but nearly always the sounch "ech" was no ticed by Canan and Hurtin. "Why not teach the monkeys the sig nificance of English words ending with 'ch?' " said Canan to his fellow keeper.' Hurtin said he saw no reason why they couldn't, with a little painstaking effort. That was a month or more ago. The words selected by the two keepers were "peach," "reach" and "screech." With these words they set to work. The first few lessons were' devoted to trying to teach Baldy the significance of peach. And this way they worked: Canan would take a nice ripe peach to the cage where Baldy was kept. He would stand In front of him and, holding out the peach, would say "peach", many times. It was days before Baldy seemed to realize what the keeper was driving at. He would make a grab for the fruit. Canan would quickly withdraw his hand, and Baldy would Jump about the cage, making grimaoes and saying something which ended with "ch," but was cer tainly not "peach." Learns to Say "Peach. But one morning, after repeating the name of the fruit many times, Canan says he thought he detected a sound like "peach" from Baldy. He kept up his repetition of the word, and after a while, he says. Baldy made a sound which was as much like "peach" as a monkey could be expected to make. Then Baldy got the peach and ate it with relish. Later- in the day Canan offered an other peach. Baldy appeared delighted and grabbed for it. But the keeper withdrew his arm and said "peach." Baldy, he says, seemed to understand, and after a little wait the keeper heard the sound which, he says, was near enough' to "peach." . so again he gave htm the fruit. After that, says Canan, it was not necessary to speak at all when he offered Baldy a peach, for the monkey upon seeing the fruit always hastened to say what the keeper ex pected , htm to say, and he always got the peach. Screech was the next lesson word se lected by the keeper. And with this he had more trouble. And with this he UBed a banana, which, by the way, is an impossible word for a monkey. Canan began the new lesson by offering the fruit, withdrawing It when Baldy grabbed and then saying "screech." And there was no doubt that Baldy did as told, whether he knew what he was do ing or not. Canan' kept on saying "screech." Finally, he says, the monkey made a sound which sounded like some foreign way ' of saying the word "screech." Every time Baldy said what Canan is sure was "screech" the keeper would say: "Well, screech, then," and Baldy would do some screeching which could be heard all over the zoo. POSTPONE FAIR AT T0KI0 Government Urges Opening Exposi tion in 1917, Not 1912. TOKIO, Aug. 26. The postponement of the Tokio International Exposition, which is now scheduled for 1912, is be ing agitated in government circles here and seriously discussed on the ground that the appropriation set aside for this purpose is inadequate and that the time Intervening is insufficient for the amount of preparatory work that must be done. No decision has been reached, however, pending the opinion of Count Komura, the new minister of foreign affairs, who returned from ' London tonight. The members of the home department of the cabinet are urging the appropria tion of 30,000,000 yen (about tl5,000,000) for the exposition, and also that the date of the opening be postponed until 1917. In supporting their contentions these officials point out the fact that the Chicago and the Paris expositions were both postponed beyond the original time set for the opening. Other members of the cabinet insist that in view of the present financial situation in Japan and of the avowed determination of the present ministry to reorganize the appropriation of 30,000,000 yen would be inconsistent unless the. ex position Is postponed. ANSWERS COURT'S CRITICS Grosscup's Colleague Says Oil Trust Was Not on Trial. GOSHEN. Ind.. Aug. 26, Judge Francis E. Baker, of the United States Court of Judge Landis fining the Standard Oil Company $29,000,000, replied yesterday to the criticism of his court. "In the first place." he said, "it ra not the Standard Oil Company Incorpo rated under the laws of New Jersey, the parent concern, that was on trial, but the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, an offspring-, undoubtedly, but a much weaker organization. "But when It came to pass Judgment it was on the offenses of the parent com pany that the Indiana offspring was found guilty, and it was on the property and revenues of the parent company that the fine of the offspring was gauged. If it was the desire and purpose of the court to punish the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, that company should have been indicted, either Jointly or separate ly, and have been brought into court. "Every corporation has exaotly the same rights as an individual, no more, no less. The parent company is, of course, more or less responsible for the acts of the Indiana Company. The peo ple will sooner or later realize that the courts are not swayed by any other in fluence than law and precedent. What any one man may say in regard to the decision of a court counts for no more than his opinion. All I know in reality about the case is that a common thins has occurred a motion for a rehearing has been filed." KEEPS UP ORDER OF ARMY LIFE WHILE IX JAIL. Marches In Front of Cell About Dress Parade Time and Re tires at "Taps." NEW YORK. Aug. 26. Captain P. C. Hains, Jr., who shot and killed W. E.

Jenkins Hains that prevented him from going to Annis' aid when Captain Hains shot and killed Annis." Mr. Darrin said he would oppose ac ceptance of bail for the prisoners.
