WILL TALK TO TAFT
Hitchcock Awaits Candidate in
Chicago.
TAFT'S STRONG POINTS
May Err In Tactics, Says "agel,.but
Direct Man Always Understood.
Taft's Platform Built
on Record.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22. Chairman Hitch
cock, of the National Republican Com
mittee, this afternoon changed his plan
of leaving Chicago this afternoon. He
decided to wait over here in order to
confer with W. H. Taft, who will ad
dress an organization of railroad men
here tomorrow night. With the For
aker incident apparently closed and
arrangements completed for Mr. Taft's
speaking tour, which begins tomorrow,
Mr. Hitchcock had planned to spend the
remainder of the week at the Eastern
headquarter.
Judge Charles A. Kagel, a member of
the Western executive committee, said
today concerning Mr. Taft's speaking
trip:
Honest Man bate With Teoplc.
It cannot be denied that in every cam
pft!frn the chanre of a blunder Is not to be
overlooked- A baaty speech may become a
serious, if not controlling. fArtor. It 1. of
course, to be remembered that Mr. Taft Is
rot rea!ly trained to puollc speaking and
therefore some apprehension has been ex -prexed
that the campaign may suffer
through some Inadvertent remark. I don't
hare that feeling. In my Judgment. Mr.
Taft Is Incapable of serious mistakes. A
man of clear mind and stoat heart Is gen
erally safe from bis fellowmen. Stirh a man
may be guilty of an error In tactics. That
Is the common fate of honest
men. rho always refuse to be
misunderstood by any one upon any jubject.
But the American people don't measure
men by such errors. Only shrewd and de
signing men are true adherents to tactics
and this the people know. The direct man.
for himself and his fellowman. always suc
ceeds In having the true purpose of hie
convictions recognized.
Platform Built on Record.
I don't believe thst eny man has ever
been nominated for President whose plat
form la built so squarely upon his official
record and who has been at such pains be
fore be was nominated to make clear his
position upon every question of public In
terest. It has generally been accepted that
men of long political reoords are unavailable
as esndldates before a convention. The party
tribute to Mr. Taft is correspondingly great
and the guaranty for Intelligent popular
government le equally strong.
Organize First Voters.
Colonel Cecil A. Lyon, member of the
National Committee from Texas, ar
rived here today to organize the "First
Voters" Bureau at the Western head
quarters. He plans to hold conventions
of "first voters" in the various West
ern States.
Announcement was made today that
James T. Williams, Jr., secretary to Mr.
Hitchcock, will accompany Mr. Taft on
his speaking tours, and accompany him
until the end of his trip, as the repre
sentative of the National chairman and
the executive committee. Mr. Williams
will be succeeded as secretary to the
chairman by Jackson Elliott, of Boston.
HANGED BUT NOT KILLED
Rope Slips and Lynched Negro Is

EL. PASO, Texas. Sept. 22. George
Clark, a negro, shot Constable W. H.
Taylor, who attempted to arrest him at
Shero, Texas, last night, and a mob

be still alive and was taken to a Jail,
where a second mob Is now threatening
to take him and finish the work of the
first. Clark had created a disturbance at ti
mer. Texas, and when Constable Taylor
ttempted to arrest him, he ran away.
Taylor overtook the negro after chasing
Dim two miles. Clark felled Taylor with
a blow and after a struggle took from the
nonstable his revolver and shot him In
the thigh.
The negro escaped into the woods where
he was captured by a citizens' posse.
They strung him up to a tree after he had
confessed shooting the officer. After the
rrowd had dispersed the rope with which
the negro had been hanged had slipped

ground. His hands were tied behind him
and he could not move.
He became unconscious but when cut
Sown this morning he revived In a short
time.

RUSSIANS DIE BY HUNDREDS
OFFICIAL REPORTS DOST AC
COUNT FOR ALL DEAD.
Nearly as Marry Burled at One Cem
etery as St. Petersburg Of
ficials Find In City.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22. Up to
noon today the municipal hospitals re
ported for the preceding 24 hours 417
cholera cases and 170 deaths. There
Is a total of 1587 patients in the vari
ous hospitals.
That the municipal statistics are In
complete is conclusively proved by the
number of Interments. At one ceme
tery they aggregated 424 for the last
three days, or within 20 of the total
number of deaths reported.
The cholera dead are being interred
at Preobrazhenskoe. which is about
one hour distance on the railroad. A
train of several coaches, carrying the
mourners and a dozen freight cars
with the dead in rude coffins, goes
dally to the place. The scenes are
heart-rending In the chapel where
service 1b conducted uninterruptedly
night and day.
, The scarcity of gravedlggers has
caused a painful delay in the past few
days, 160 coffins containing bodies now
being stored in the adjoining wood
shed. Some of the mourners have been
waiting their turn for several days.
CVHB CHOLERA IX MANILA
Authorities Believe Vigorous Meth
ods' Have Checked Disease.
MANILA. Sept. 22. The vigorous cam
paign for the eradication of cholera Is
believed to be preventing any appreciable
increase in the spread of the disease.
There is an average of about 50 new
cases dally, although today promises to
show a record materially lower. In of
ficial circles it -Is maintained that there
is still a possibility that the city may
be ridded of the cholera before the ar
rival of the American battleship fleet.
Governor General Smith stated today that
while the time intervening was short
he still had considerable hope that Manila
will be clean when the fleet comes.
The campaign instituted by the authori
ties against the plague proceeds with In
creasing vigor. Although the Filipinos
continue to conceal stricken patients
through ignorance and fear, a house to
house Inspection now In progress is dis
closing practically all the cases. Four
chemical engines and a dozen big street
sprinklers are being used with good effect
In a general disinfection of all tainted
zones.
Many persons have heroically volun
teered their services as nurses or In
spectors. A number of firms have offered
to fit up temporary hospitals for the ac
commodation of patients and a ward of
the Mary Johnson Memorial Hospital is
being prepared for the reception of chol
era victims. The Roman Cathollo au
thorities have authorized the use of a
large convent within the walled city for
the same purpose.
The prospect of Interference with the
festivities arranged In honor of the fleet's
visit or postponement of its arrival has
stirred the popular Interest immensely.
While there Is no danger of an epidemic
it Is still feared that Rear Admiral
S perry will refuse to permit the men to
land if even a few cases of cholera re
main. Harry Clrsttns, an American policeman,
was one of those stricken today. There
is a possibility of his recovery. Alfred
McVeigh Low and the other Americans
are reported as holding their own today.
DISEASE ABATES IX MANILA
Smallest Number of New Cases Since
Cholera Broke Out.
MANILA.- Sept. 22. The cholera
epidemic in this city Is receding. Judg
ing from official reports today, which
give only 11 deaths and 36 new cases
for the 24 hours ending -at 8 o'clock,
which is the smallest gain made by the
plague In several days. Encouraged
by this first sign of victory, the Fed
eral and ' municipal authorities are
pressing the campaign to thoroughly
cleanse the city with unabated vigor,
confident of stamping out the disease
in a short time.
No additional cases of Americans
being stricken with cholera are re
ported, and those now ill with the dis
ease are holding their own with good
chances of recovery.

tice and took charge of his father's old
home farm where he met his tragic aeatn
