NEGRO MUST WIN HIS WAY
Candidate Refuses to Make Answer
to Bryan's Latest Attack Says
. Maine ' Election Was ' Fought
Solely on Prohibition Issue.
CINCINNATI. O., Sept.' 15. W. H. Taft
today declined to go farther with W. J.
Bryan in a newspaper controversy over
the Issues of the campaign.
"There Is nothing In Mr. Bryan's state
ment of today which .seems to require an
answer. Should It appear so later, I will
take up the subject In my public
speeches."
This was Mr. Taft's ultimatum as he
expressed a willingness that Mr. Bryan
should have the last word of comment
on President Roosevelt's Taft letter.
This, the 61st anniversary of Mr. Taft's
birth, proved to be the busiest day he
hes had since his arrival here a week
ago. He delivered an address tonight to
an audience of ministers composing the
Ohio conference of the African Metho
dist Episcopal Church, the first speech of
his campaign to negroes. The address
was not political, but gave a clear out
line of the sympathetic understanding and
feeling entertained for the struggles of
the race possessed by the candidate.
His Sympathy With Negro.
"Sympathy." he said, "I have had from
the time I was a small boy, for I lh
b ,lted it from my father, Alphonso Taft,
than whom the colored race never had a
better friend."
This, interest, Mr. Taft said, had been
stimulated through his experience In the
Philippine Islands. He reviewed the
struggle of the race ' from the time of
slavery. It had made the most progress
In agricultural pursuits and In this line
he believed it should continue, although
he spent considerable time In his comment
on the value of education, which, he said,
had increased from 5 to 50 per cent in
the past 40 years.
Mr. Taft strongly condemned race
prejudice and mob violence, and said:
Punish Lynching Mobs.

Absorbed by Stock Guarantee System
Says Uncontradicted Wall
Street Rumor.
CHICAGO. Sept. 15. (Special.) A
report from Wall street of a traffic
agreement between the Union Pacific
and the Chicago & Northwestern,
amounting to complete control of the
latter road by the 'former, gained
strength today in financial circles on
the refusal of Marvin Hughltt, presi
dent of the Northwestern, to discuss
statements made in the Wall Street
Summary under the head of "Harriman
Properties." .' .
The report is that the Harriman In
terests have absorbed the Chicago &
Northwestern by the simple device of
a guarantee on the stocksof the latter
company. . It Is pointed out In the arti
cle, which appears to be Inspired, that
tho strategetlc position of the Chicago
& Northwestern Is such that It will not
come within the meaning of the law
that prohibits merging or single con
trol of parallel competing railways, al
though an . extension of the Chicago
& Northwestern has been carried
through "Nebraska and the central part
of Wyoming parallel to the Union Pa

CHANLER FOR GOVERNOR
Signs Point to Nomination Against
Hughes State Convention at
Rochester Will Give Bryan
Great Reception Tonight.
ROCHESTER, N.- T.. Sept. 16. Subordi
nating all personal animosities and heed
ing the .earnest . plea . of the National
chairman for harmony In the interest of
eucbess for the Presidential ticket at the
polls In November, the warring factions
of the New Tork State Democracy tonight
agreed to pull together and all chances
of friction in the state convention have
been swept away. Charles F. Murphy,
leader tf Tammany' Hall, when told that
W. J. Bryan himself was anxious that
peace be established, agreed to withdraw
all opposition to Senator Patrick H. Mc
Carren's delegates In the contested
Brooklyn district. The up-state leaders in
their scattering contested districts also
agreed to compromise matters, pending
the November election, and the threaten
ing clouds of discord gave way to a pro
gramme of harmony which will pave the
way for what la planned to be a notable
welcome to the Presidential candidate,
who will address the convention tomor
row night.
Signs Point to Chanler.
The question of the nomination for Gov
ernor "is still unsettled. The leaders de
voted all the day to a straightening out of
the contests, and gave little or no heed
to the probable head of the ticket. Sur
face Indications continue to point to Lieutenant-Governor
Lewie Stuyvesant Chan
ler. Mr. Murphy continues to state that
the Tammany delegation is promised to
no one. Mr.- Murphy- is anxious to get
the opinion of the up-state leaders as to
the strength of Mr. Chanler as a cam
paigner against Governor Hughes. If he
can be convinced on this point, the
friends of Mr. Chanler believe that the
latter's nomination will be beyond the
question of a doubt.
State Chairman Conners said tonight
that there had been no change from this
morning, when he predicted Mr. Chanler's

thos, tenderness, fiery resolution and

most remarkable rebukes ever ad
dressed to a student body today, when
Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, president of
the Armour Institute of Technology,
expressed at chapel exercises his views
on the class rush last night, which cul-

minated in the arrest of 70 sophomores
and freshmen.
Gradually reaching a climax in his
address. Dr. Gunsaulus delivered an
ultimatum that a repetition of the dis
orderly conduct of last night would
probably result In his resignation.
The immediate expulsion of leaders of
any future disturbances was an
nounced as the programme of the in
stitute. Declaring that the principle of self
government was at stake In such out
breaks as a battle between "freshles"
and "sophs," 1. Gunsaulus said:
"If you outiVge the honor of educa
tional Institutes, you break the very
hearts of those in charge of them.
What have you to expect of a ragged
mob; what right to complain of the
bloody streets of Springfield?"

sharp lookout was kept throughout the
entire trip. '
