Mountain precincts are in the mountains,

bar and to sea. It would have been ebb
tide when the bar was reached so orders
were given for the schooners to anchor
until the next day and the tug put back
to Aberdeen. No notice was taken by
the tugboat people of the schooners, but
hardly had they anchored when the wea

MADE Nq HOSTILE SPEECH
Seattle Comes Out About $400
Behind Too Many Salaries.
Floods Lose for Bntte.
6 RATTLE. Wash., Oct. S. (Special.
Only two teams in the Northwestern
League made money this season. Van-
couver and Spokane being the lucky ones.
Four out of the six lost, Seattle faring
worse than the others. Dugdale and his
associates came out some HwO behind, due
to the fact that Seattle had too large
salary list. Nearly 60 players were signed,
large sums having been paid for some half
dosen players to Eastern teams, uwm
to the poor showing of the team. Interest
and attendance fell off badly in the clos
ing weeks.
Aberdeen lost and Tacoma and Butte
are also small losers.
The attendance at Butte was so poor
that the schedule was revised in mid-sea
son and the Butte team has been on the
road the greater part of the season. Bad
weather and the floods were responsible
for the failure In Butte.
It was tne poorest season the ortn
western League has known. The accounts
were audited at the annual meeting of the
league today. The pennant was awardd
to Vancouver and committees appointed to
care for various matters connected with
plans for next season, chief of which is
a change in the mak-un of the league.
Butte, it Is practically certain, will not be
In the league next year.

Other Opinions.
SAN FRAXCI9CO. Oct. .-Among the
13 opinions which were handed down to
day In- the Vnlted States Circuit Court
of Appeals, which met for the October
term, were the following.:
W. J. Hills, as Clerk of the District
Ctmrt for the Pwtrlct of Alaska, plaintiff
in error against iinery Valentine, de
fendant In error Opinion by Circuit
Judge Gilbert. This was an action at
law to recover from the plaintiff In error
JSs. which it was alleged had been appro
priated by him to his own use after It
had been deposited wtth him as clerk
of the court as a part of a larger sum
to be held In trust. The Appellate Court
says that the record of the case clearly
shows that the defendant appropriated
to h!s own ue the sum mentioned and
to which the plaintiff. Valentine, was en
titled, and the case is remanded to the
court below, with instruction to strtke
from the Judrment the erroneous official
decision of Hilis. With this modification
the judxment Is affirmed. It is apparent
that Hl!s was not clerk of the court
at the time the action was brought and
at no time since.
hi I. tiaudetta against A. R. Graham,
trustee of a bankrupt shingle company.
of a man by my side, one who is In every
way a worthy American, a man wnose
historv Is known to you. Tou saw what
we got here last week through his liber.
alltv when he was Secretary of War
(having reference to the recent military
tournament in St. Joseph). I am not an
office-seeker and never have been, and no
office within the gift of this country or
state would I have. If this man Is elect
ed I promise that if he calls uson me for
any special duty I will quit anytning
have in hand and go to him In a minute.
Crowds Brave Drizzle.
Rain began falling before the special
had made its second stop, and throughout
the day the crowds which came to the
railroad stations and to the meeting
places braved a steady drizxle.
The day s Itinerary began with an ex
tra meeting held on the steps of the pub-
llo library at Kansas City, Kan. The
crowd here was composed of thousands
and the enthusiasm was marked. At
Leavenworth. Mr. Taft had opportunity
to talk to many old soldiers from the
Veterans' Home there and also to work
men. He Improved ootn opportunities.
Atchison was the last stop In Kansas and
gave the candidate a rousing farewell
from the state to which he promised to
come again.
The entrance into Missouri was made
at noon at St. Joseph. The stockyards
meeting was followed by a talk to the
employes of the Burlington shops, an
address to thousands at the Union sta
tion, an antomoblle ride to the opera-
house, which was packed and the en
trances lammed with people. Here Mr.
Taft made a general speech. In review
of what his party had done in compari
son with what the opposition had accom
plished. The enthusiasm was marked
and his utterances were well received.
Many Stops Added.
Then telegrams began coming in from
towns along the route, and the requests
for stops were acceded to. At stanbury,
which has but a small population, there
was a big crowd, which was explained
by the hundreds of farmers' conveyances
hitched along the road. Darlington,
McFall. Pallonsburg. Gallatin. Savannah,
Rosedale. Blockow and Barnard were all
added places of call.
The Marysville meeting was held In
front of the courthouse, which was
reached from the train in automobiles.
Here were lined up hundreds of school
children, each bearing a small flag,
which the crowd massed around, pre
senting one of the most attractive pic
tures of the trip. Mr. Taft here made a
most happy speech, in which he again
referred to Missouri having an inclina
tion to return to the Republican column.
There were many In the audience from
Iowa, and the candidate took occasion
not only to advocate the election of
Hadley for Governor of Missouri, but of
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, -to suc
ceed himself.
Kisses Young Baby.
When the arty reached the train
there was a crowd to say good-bye. and
a young mother presented her baby to
the Judge, who took the Infant In his
arms and kissed It on the forehead, while
the crowd went wild over the demon
stration. The Chllllcothe demonstration
came after nightfall, but was none the
lesa enthuslasx:e.
The residents of Macon were assem
bled in their hall when the candidate
reached this place, although many times
more people were on the street to give
a welcome.
Mr. Taft will make a speech tomorrow
In St. Louis and In the evening appear
for a few minutes at the Rex ball, a
part of the carnival to be held there. He
will speak at Moberly. Mexico. Mont
gomery. Warrenton and St. Charles be
fore reaching St, Louis.
Taft's Election Certain.
NEW TORK. Oct. S. Chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican National
committee, said that he expected, on
his return from his campaign trip to
Chicago, to be able to give out In
formation that would show conclusive
ly, as he believed, that the election of
Taft and Sherman was certain.
I'r.ited States Senator Guggenheim,
of Colorado, made the prediction to Mr.
Hitchcock today, that Colorado would
give at least 10.000 majority for the
Republican ticket.
Congress "ot in Session on Date
Mentioned In Rumor Sever
Wrote Editorial Opposing
Liberality to 'Veterans.
FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 6. In
an Interview given out late today. Wil
liam J. Bryan denies that he ever made
a speech or wrote an editorial against
the granting of pensions to soldiers, as
has been alleged. On the contrary, he
declares that all of his platforms have
Indorsed pensions and that he favors
liberal pension policy. He bays:
Did "ot Condemn Pensions.
My attention has been called to a clipping
from a Republican paper which purports to
be an extract from a speech on the subject
or- pensions, delivered by me in congress.
and the date of the speech Is fixed at Nov.
vember 18. 18112. In tha Duroorted speech
1 am accused of criticising the appropriations
lor pensions ana am cnarged wltn using
language unfriendly to the pensioner. I de
sire to say that I never used the language
attributed to me. either In Congress jr any
where else. On the contrary, my record
shows that I fe.vored liberal pensions to ths
surviving soldiers and to their dependents.
Congress was not in session on November
18. lwl as anv one can ascertain by exam-
lntng the records. The first session of Con
gress adjourned in the Summer of 1802 and
the. second sessioa did not assemble until
December of that year.
o Editorial Against Them.
I think that tha lanruaee 'Quoted Is th
earns that has been used at other times when
It was charged that 1 had used the language
in an editorial of a naoer of which I was
at one time editor. It was claimed that the
editorial appeared in 1892. This was nearly
two yesrs before I became connected with
that paper, but I was not connected with ths
paper until long slier tne date on wniea
ths editorial Is said to have appeared and I
know that I never wrote an editorial for that
paper or any other paper or ever said in
speech or otherwise anything unfriendly
the soldier and hie pension. As this mis
representation was brouaht to my attention.
I take this means of answering it. Ail of
my platform have Indorsed pensions and I

the President.
DECIDE THREE RATE CASES
Appellate Judgef Hand Down De
cisions Affecting Lumbermen.
SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. Three rate
cases involving lumber interests In Wash
ington and in the Flathead country in
Montana were decided In the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals today, decisions
being handed down by Circuit Judges Gil
bert. Ross and Morrow. In each case the
original suit was brought by a dozen or
more lumbering concerns, protesting
against the rates established by the rail
road companies, alleging that they were
so high as to be disastrous to the lumber
ing business.
In the appeal of the Harriman and Hill
lines from the decision of the trial court In
favor of the lumbering associations of
Washington, numbering a dozen or more.
Circuit Judge Gilbert handed down an
opinion affirming the decree of the trial
court, in which Judge Morrow concurred.
A similar case came up on the appeal of
the Hill and Harriman lines from the de
cision of the District Court of Oregon In
favor of the lumber associations of that
state. Circuit Judge Gilbert writing the
opinion afurmlng the order of the District
Court and Circuit Judge Morrow concur
ring, in both these cases. Circuit Judge
Ross filed a dissenting opinion, holding
that the remedy of the lumbering concerns
wss with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and not with the courts as an
Initiative.
In appeal of the Great Northern Rail
road Company taken alone against certain
lumbering concerns In the Flathead coun
try in Montana, Circuit Judge Gilbert
handed dowa an opinion reversing the or
der of injunction of the District Court of
Montana, and in this Circuit Judges Ross
and Morrow concurred.
In this case, however, the majority of
the appellate court based its opinion on
the fact that suit was not begun by the
umbering concerns until after the rate
had been established. It held that a court
had no right to chani-e a rate once fixed,
that being the province of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

MOB FIGHTS FOR NEGRO
ASSAIIiAXT OF WHITE WOMAN
GETS LIFE SENTENCE.
Angry Crowd Tries to Get Prisoner
to Lynch Him. but Is Driven
Backed by Policemen's CInbs.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Oct. 5. Follow
ing scans of riotous disorder today. In
which several persons were alighUy In
jured In an attempt to take him from
the police and lynch him. Edward Mar
tin, the ngro who last Friday night as
saulted Miss Edith Ralston, a concert
singer, at Colegrove. was spirited to the
courtroom of Superior Judge Curtis D.
Wilbur, where he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to the maximum punishment
life Imprisonment. He will be taken to
Folsom penitentiary tomorrow night.
Less than an hour and a half elapsed
between the time that the negro was
brought into court for his preliminary
hearing and tho time that Judge Wilbur
pronounced the penalty of life Imprison
ment. Martin Is said to be a deserter
from the Navy.
The riotous demonstration occurred
this morning In Justice H. Q. Austin's
courtroom, immediately after Martin had
been held to the Superior Court.
Justice Austin had been warned that
serious trouble might occur when the
negro was brought Into court, and re
quested that a sufficient police force be
assigned to maintain order. Fourteen pa
trolmen were detailed.
Martin was brought In handcuffed to
Patrolman Stevens, a colored officer. A
large crowd completely packed the small
courtroom and filled the corridors out
side. The hearing was brief and after
Miss Ralston had related he circum
stances of the attack and positively ideiv
tlfied Martin, the court ordered him
bound over to the Superior Court under
$5000 ball.
As Officer Stevens was-taking Martin
through a rear door to return him to Jail,
W. F. Debell. a friend of Miss Kalston.
rushed at the negro and attempted to
strike him. He was prevented by the of
ficer and the crowd surged In large num
bers with cries of "Lynch the nigger!"
"Hang him!" "Get a rope!" Others at
tempted to strike Martin, but Stevens,
brandishing his club, held the crowd back.
Other officers rushed to the rescue and
were compelled to use their clubs freely.
The crowd was frantic in its endeavor
to get Martin and fought with the offi
cers Indiscriminately. The negro, almost
overcome by fear, cowered close to his
protectors.
Finally the police forced an entrance
through the crowd and landed ths pris
oner safely In Jail, but not until two or
three persons In the crowd had been hurt.
P. R. Sweight was struck across the fore
head with a policeman's club and a lares
gash laid open. H. P. Bryan, 60 years of
age. a spectator, was caught In the door
way and severely crushed.
No arrests were made among the crowd,
which congested the vicinity of the police
station for some time afterwards. Feel
ing continued to run high against the ne
gro and more demands for a lynching
were heard.
Martin says he does not know why he
did It.
