BARBECUE AT LATTER CITY
Ohloan Makes IS Addresses During
Day In Minnesota and North Da
kota, Discussing Labor, Tar
Iff and Rooseyeltism.
FAB GO. JT. D.. Sept. M. Big crowds,
manifesting both interest and enthusiasm,
have surrounded the Tart party wherever
it stopped today In its course over the
Great Northern up through Minnesota
and North Dakota. The 14 speeches
which Mr. Taft delivered during the day
and evening worked sad havoc with the
splendid voice he started out with this
morning and tonight it Is again In bad
condition.
The day had two features, the Grand
Forks. N. D., meeting and the Fargo
rally tonight. In both places tremendous
crowds were out and In each city the
candidate had to make three speeches.
The Fargo meeting was made unique by
the striking feature of a huge barbecue.
Ten steers and 20 sleep furnished food
for the multitude. The feast was partic
ipated in by thousands of excursionists,
some of whom had come from as far as
460 miles distant.
Big Welcome at Fargo.
It was Just dark when the Taft special
reached the end of Its day's run and the
people of Fargo were out in force to ex
tend a welcome. A torchlight procession.
enlivened by the music of H bands, and
made picturesque by a squad of mounted
cowboys, with their characteristic yells,
- escorted the Ohioan through 4he town
and out of the forest, where the barbe
cue was ready to serve.
The speaking here was done in a nat
ural amphitheater. In a cleared place in
the woods. Log flres had been lighted
around the circle where the great audi
ence stood and thousands of torches
which remained lighted threw a weird
glare over the crowd.
While Mr. Taft today discussed labor,
tariff and the Roosevelt policies at the
various points along his route, he made
new combinations In his speeches and
threw in many touches of local color
and human Interest.
Local Republicans on Train.
Before the North Dakota line was
reached, a large delegation was taken
aboard from that state. Mr. Hans
brough. .who has Just been defeated for
re-election and who represents one
faction. Joined the party and let It be
known that he was for the National
ticket. Senator McCumber, who Is
credited In aiding- in the defeat of his
colleague, was also very much In evi
dence on the train as was National
Committeeman Kennedy.
At Grand Forks, Mr. Taft was escorted
through the town to the steps of the T.
M. C. A. building, where he talked to
an Immense audience. He was then hur
ried away to a large skating rink, where
he made another speech, and then he ad
dressed a crowd which filled the local
Opera-House.
Speeches were made during the day st
St. Cloud. Alexandria, Fergus Falls.
Barnesville. Ada and Crookston, Minn.
The weather was cold, and light fails of
snow were encountered. Mr. Taft will
campaign in South Dakota tomorrow,
having left here tonight for a night run
to Webster, where the day's work will
begin. An extended meeting is on the'
programme for Mitchell at 1 P. M., and
a big rally at Sioux City, la.
WOMAN INDORSES TAFT'S VIEWS
Prompt Answer From Audience
Amuses Fergus Falls Crowd.
FERGI'S FALLS. Minn.. Sept. The
people of Sauk Center are making merry
over what they regard as a fine Joke
on Judge Taft. He told them that the
question for the voters to determine was
whether they wanted to continue a party
of action in power or place at the bead
of the Government, a party which had
done nothing but make misleading proph
ecies regarding economic questions.
"We don't want to try it," vsald a
somewhat elderly woman in the audi
ence.
"I hope not. Madam; I have no doubt
that you are the head of a family of
sturdy men. whom you control, and I
rely on such intelligent ladies as you
to carry out your views," was Mr. Taft's
smiling rejoinder.
When the train started. Mr. Taft was
informed by one of the local statesmen
aboard that it was Miss Sylvia Towns
end with whom he had the colloquy.
The Taft special plunged Into real cold
weather as it rushed northward and
enow was falling lightly, when Mr. Taft
was making a speech at Alexandria.
At Alexandria the candidate paid his
respects to Mr. Bryan. He said in part:
I am Quite sure that, when yon come to
think of rfhe results of Democratic control,
the lark of prosperity. Indeed the business
disasters and the low prices for farm prod
ucts and the general business depression
which we hsd under four years of Demo

said he did not know he had lost the pass.
but said the Big Four, for which he said
he had appeared as counsel in several
damage suits, had sent him a pass.

Mr. Kern had the pass when the Federal
law is so sweeping against the issue of
such passes, said Mr. Kern was the com
pany's regularly employed attorney, and
therefore could be given free transporta

FIRST ACTION AT CONVENTION
Savings Bank Section Almos
United on Issue.
HERRICK STARTS DEBATE
Small Minority Headed by Wlscon
sin Man Makes Hard Fight.
Committee's Many Objections
to Postal Savings Banks.
DENVER, Sept. 28. The most important
discussion in the savings bank section of
the American Bankers' Association oc
curred at (he afterno.m session, when the
questions of postal savings banks and the
guaranty of bank deposits were taken up.
While if was evident that the sentiment
was practically unanimous against postal
savings and overwhelmingly against the
guaranty idea, a respectable minority
tried to prevent action on the latter ques
tion, contending that it was a matter for
the convention of all the members of the
association to decide upon and not for a
single section.
John Schuette, of Wisconsin, was the
only speaker in favor of the guaranty of
bank deposits. He opposed the establish
ment of postal savings banks on the
ground that it would establish 18.000 banks
to compete with the other banks of the
country. He favored the guaranty bank
deposit plan In order to avert the estab
llshment of the postal savings banks, and
declared that the bankers of the country
would have to face one or the other of
these issues.
Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio,
then offered the following resolution:
..Aeal"st Guaranty Scheme.
Whereas. This sarins bank section of the
American Bankers' Association represents the
savings of 'the people of the United States, and
w hereas, The record of these banks for con
rvatlsm. stability and unselfish devotion to
the interest of their depositors la unparal
leled in any country in the world, and
Whereas, The loss to their depositors has
been so small as to be absolutely a negligible
quantity; therefore, be it
Resolved. That, Inasmuch as any plan
or scheme to make each of these banks re
sponsible by taxation or assessment for the
acts of one another or to connect them with
the National banking system Is economically
unsound in principle, confiscatory hi form and
inimical to the best Interests of Its depositors,
stockholders and borrowers. It would dis
courage Individual lnitlaive, the best product
of the American mind. It is a specious form
of paternalism and socialism. It would tend
to encourage speculation and an undue ex
pansion of credit.
Resolved. That we enter the most solemn
protest against enaction into law. either by
states or Nation, of any principles so sub
versive to sound economics and so revolution
ary in character.
Oppose Postal Banks.
After a heated debate, C. R. Brecken-
ridge, of Fort Smith, Ark., offered a sub
stitute to the effect that action on the
resolution be deferred until after the
question came up before the general con
vention. This substitute was voted down
32 to 49. and Mr. Herrick's resolution was
then adopted.
After a discussion of postal savings
banks, a motion was carried placing the
savings bank section in opposition to the !

"Unless Otherwise Stipulated"

CHICAGO, Sept. 28. (Special.) While
William J. Bryan, In letter and speech,
ie promising the full publicity of contri
butions to the Democratic National cam
paign fund, his confidential representa
tives secretly are promising Immunity
from publicity to such donors as may de
sire. Documentary proofs of this fact
have been secured. By a cleverly devised
scheme the Democratic campaign treas
urer can "publish" the "names of all
donors" to the campaign fund and at the
same time conceal names of members of
corporations who desire to help Mr. Bry
an's canvass.
How Funds Are Solicited
A glimpse of the convenient arrange
ment is given in a series of letters sent
broadcast through the State of Michigan
by F. H. Pulte, who writes that he has
been "commissioned by the National Com
mlttee to solicit funds in that state." F.
E. Pulte is president of the Pulte Plumb
ing & Heating Company, of Grand Rap
ids.
Governor C. N. Haskell, treasurer of
the National Committee," he writes after
making & 'fervid appeal for funds, "will
ipail to each contributor a lithographed
souvenir report. A complete list of all
contributors (unless otherwise stipulated)
In the State of Michigan, containing their
addresses and the amount contributed,
will be published In pamphlet form,
copy of which will De mauea to eacn
subscriber."
Cunning Scheme of Evasion,
TTnlesa otherwise stipulated." It will
be observed Is the cunningly devised eva
sion which makes ft possible for Mr. Bry
an's financial agents to gather In large
contributions from questionable sources
without giving the publicity which the
candidate promises in his speeches. AH
prospective donor who shrinks from
publicity, like the Standard Oil Company,
has to do Is to take the hint from the
letters sent out on behalf of the Nation
al Committee and "stipulate" a suppres
sion of his contribution.
Most of the appeals for funds being
sent out by the Democratic managers
contain blank pledges of J5, $10, $25 and
$100 each. The prospective contributor
is required to sign one of as large a de
nomination as possible and return it to
C. N- Haskell. Ten days after
date
payment is required.

ST. PAtTLv Sept. 2S. (Special.) A
station employe in the St. Paul Union
Depot who didn't know James J. Hill
when the latter was leading a person
ally conducted search for the Taft spe
clal In the Great Northern yards, had
a bad quarter of an hour today. While
Taft waited to board his special car
and Senator Moses E. Clapp poked fun
at the head of the Great Northern
road, Jim Hill opened up a line of re
marks about railroad employes In gen
eral which made several of the Union
Depot officials step lively in the pres
ence of the "Old Man."
Taft and his party returned from the
St. Paul auditorium to the Union Depot
before the special train had been
brought back under the shed. They
found no train. President Hill started
out In search and soon lost himself In
the maze of sidings and interlocking
switches. Finally he came upon
yardman.
"Where's that Taft special train?"
demanded Hill.
"What business is it of yours where
the train Is?" asked the station em
ploye, who still did not recognize the
"Old Man."
'1 am James J. Hill," said the build
er of railroads, stepping up closer.
"Where's that special?" Then the sta
tlon agent "tumbled," and begun the
most active exhibition of train hunting
which the St. Paul depot had ever af
forded. The special was finally located
and was soon under the sheds, where

Long Island the gale blew for two days
and the towns are practically obliterated.

'The government schooner Sarah E.
Douglas was blown from her anchorage
at Long Bay and was driven ashore on
Long Island. Many other boats were
lost, but It will be weeks before the full
accounts will reach Nassau. There i no
doubt that the loss of life is heavy. The
whole countryside, even as far as Cat
Island, is scalded and burned as If with
fire, from the terrible driving of the salt
water across the land.
The Government has taken relief meas

patched, .laden with foodstuffs, lumber
and nails.
The recent gale Is said to have ex
ceeded In fury the hurricane of 1866,
which has always been the standard of
comparison.

LAWYERS GET TOGETHER
Move of Washington Legal Talent to
Keep Oregon Fishermen OTf River
Is Checkmated and Fishing
Sow Stands as Before.
By a restraining order issued yesterday
afternoon by Judge Wolverton in the Uni
ted States Court, the lone-drawn con
troversy over salmon fishing in the Col
umbia River between the Washington and
Oregon salmon fishers is at an end until
such time as the United States Supreme
Court has decided the. Chris Neilson case,
which will be some time in Decembes.
This means that fishing for salmon on
the Columbia River Is thrown wide open
to regularly licensed fishermen, and it
sets at rest all of 'the turmoil and strife
caused by the conflicting laws thathave
occasioned Master .Fish Warden McAl
lister so many sleepless nights and legal
entanglements.
Washington Move Checkmated.
The date set for the hearing of the in
junction prayed for by the Washington
fishermen was yesterday morning. E. C.
MacDonald, of Spokane, Assistant Attor
ney-General of Washington, came armed
with a petition which, had It been grant
ed, would have excluded the Oregon fish
ermen from fishing in the Columbia
River, while the Washington fishermen
could have fished unmolested.
The petition for Injunction was adroitly
drawn, but Attorney-General Andrew M.
Crawford, who has been looking after the
legal end of the matter for Master Fish
Warden McAllister and Oregon, was not
to be caught.
Fishing Stands as Before.
When the legal talent anDeared in the
United States Court yesterday morninz
and the matter was -presented, it was in
timated to Assistant Attorney-General
MacDonald, of Washingon. that if he
would amend his petition so as to exenint
the entire river, the matter would not be
submitted to argument and that it could
be settled by -mutual agreement and no
opposition to the restraining order would
be made.
The matter was taken over until the
afternoon and the Washington netitinn
was so amended that it included fishing
over the entire river. Then, when tha
case was presented to Judge Wolverton.
the injunction prevailed.
Under the restraining order Lssnpd hv
Judge Wolverton, fishing in the Colum
bia River now stands as it did before the
two conflicting laws became effective, but
uie restraining order only holds until the
United States Supreme Court ehall have
handed down its decision in tho TJnnn
case. The restraining order in full fol

fishing controversy hinges, was arrested
so long ago that only salmon fishermen
remember. He was a Washington fisher
man and used a purse seine, a fishing ap
pliance permitted by the laws of Wash
ington, but prohibited by the laws of
Oregon. He was arrested by the Oregon
authorities and convicted in the lower
courts. The case was carried to the
State Supreme Court and Judge- Bean
sustained the decision of the lower court,
but the Washington authorities agreed
to carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court, which was done after a
long delay and where it now rests.
