Krrn Owes Nomination to
Tujt;irl, Ills Attorney.
I.rS AXOELKf. 0t. 5 The spech of
VM!:am R. Hearst . delivend at the
Hhriix- Auditorium tonid'.t was devoted
almost entirely to an attack upon John
V. K'-rn. Democratic candidate for Vice
l'residnt. He referred 10 the recent finding of a
pass on the Big Four Railroad, made out
in the namo of Mr. Kern, and pointed
out that the Bin Four w branch of
the Vanderbllt system, which he said had
been successfully prosectitod by the Fed
eral Government for araiittnii rebate to
the American Refining Company and
fined J11S.M.
He also devoted much attention to Mr.
Kern'a employment by Thomas Taaftart
a a Ma attorney and discussed In deiail
the alleged Rambling at French Licit
Springs. Ind.
Mr. Hearst rend affidavits from two
newspaper men who were in attendance
at the Iemocratlc National Convention,
at Denver, who stated that Mr. Kern
said to them that he was Indebted for
his nomination to Mr. Taggart.
Mr. Hearst read only one Standard Oil
Company letter during his address to
night. This was addressed to United
Plates Senator Chauncey Pepew by John
D. Archbold and waa as follows:
Broadway. New Tors. February 10.
to2. My Dear henatnr: Permit me to
thank yrm mint cordially for your kind note
of the 5'h with the accompanying- compli
mentary pass. Believe me that I appreciate
your kind eprelnn in connection with this
rotirtecy very highly Indeed and only hope
that opportuntiea may offer for such re
rlrprooatlon as will lve evidence to yod and
vour areat corporation of the friendly senti
ments I entertain. Very truly yours.
JOHN D. ARCH BOLD.
To the Hon. Chauncey M. Uepew. Orand
Central Depot. New York.
The railroad pass, the receipt of which
the latter purported to acknewledee. Mr.
Hearst stated was over the New York
Central lines, of which system, he said.
Mr. Depew was "the representative In trie
I ntted States Senate."
Mr. Hearst referred to the "resignations,
retirements, and withdrawals of public
men." seeming to be much In vogue at
present and continuing, said:
"Mr. Kern, who has achieved fame as
the railroad pass candidate, and who as
pires to represent ttie Big Four Railroad
In the government of the United States,
seems eligible for the retired list, on the
face of these returns and without the pre
sentation of any further facts."
Mr. Hearst's speech against Mr. Kern
was received by the audience with but
little evidence of approval. Before he had
spoken five minutes, the crowd began to
leave tn large numbers, resulting in such
confusion that Mr. Hearst was compelled
to cease speaking for some minutes.
About half the audience remained -until
the close of Mr. Hearst's address. He was
In poor voice and was unable to make
himself heard at any distance from the
platform. His entrance on the stage be
fore the beginning of his speech waa
marked with much enthusiasm.

Bryan was received here tonight in a
delirium of enthusiasm. His arrival from
Uncoln ihortly before 9 o'clock In-a spe
cial trolley car, accompanied by 100 mem
bers of the Lincoln Home Guards, waa
the signal for the great demonstration.
The carriage In which he rode to the
City Park, where he spoke to a big
audience composed mostly of workmen
in the railroad shops, ran a gauntlet of
red fire and Roman candles, while the
throngs on the sidewalks vociferously
cheered him.

Senators by direct vote of the people
and the labor planks in the Denver plat
form. He waa unsparing In his attacks
on Speaker Cannon, Mr. Sherman, the
Republican Vice-Presidential candidate,
and Mr. Taft.
Taking up the labor question, Mr
Bryan denounced the Speaker as an
enemy to legislation favorable to labor
and said that so long aa he was in the
Speaker"a chair nothing In the way of
reform could be secured. Even If Mr.
Taft were elected and favored labor leg
islation, -which he aaid the Republican
candidate did not. the Speaker and Mr.
Taft would be In complete agreement
The Democratic party, he Insisted, waa
pledged to legislation for which labor
had been pleading.

Inquires How Many Trusts Prose
cuted, How Many Officials Im
prisoned, What, Done to Pre
- vent Repetition of Offense.
CHICAGO. Oct. 6. Addressing an open
letter to Attorney-General Bonaparte to
night. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
publicity bureau of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, asserts that the Attorney-General,
in his recent reply to the
Inquiry for a statement showing how
many trusts doing business In the United
States had been prosecuted by the De
partment of Justice, did not furnish the
Information desired, but Instead confused
the prosecutions under the Sherman anti
trust law with the prosecutions of rail
roads and Individuals under contracts.
Mr. Daniels submits to the Attorney
General four questions, as followa:
First How many of the 3s7 trusts giv
ing names, doing business In the United
States, have been prosecuted by the pres
ent administration?
Second How many of these trusts, nam
ing them separately. hav been' fined and
the separate amounts?
Third After a trust has been fined, what
other steps have been taken to prevent
Its continuing Illegal practices tor which
It was forced to pay the penalty?
Fourth How many of the otTicials of
these 2ST trusts have been criminally prose
cuted and how man have been convicted
and the terms of lmVrisonment giving the
name of each person who has been im
prisoned for violating the law?
In concluding, Mr. Daniels declares
that, even where the Administration has
successfully consummated prosecutions,
the guilty trusts have continued their il
legal operations and that the penalties
Imposed are analogous to police fines
that are regarded as a license to continue.
CUT A N Q SNAKE 119 FIGHT
SEATTLE WATERFRONT TREAT
ED TO NOVEL SIGHT.
Cat Called "Crocodile" Tries to Eat
30-Inch Garter Snake, but Xeeds
Help With -Killing.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 6. (Special.)
A pale grey, hungry tomcat and a
garter snake 30 Inches long- debated
the question as to which should eat the
other on pier 4 this morning, and while
it lasted, it was one of the hottest
fights ever pulled off on the water
front The cat Is known along the shore as
"Crocodile" and is a large sized combi
nation of yowls and appetite. As he
was stealing along looking for his dally
brfcad, or whatever corresponds to that,
he met up with the garter snake and
sailed into It
The snake was shifty and after the
first attack It got so busy with the
tomcat that all visions of a yard of
meat was given up to the one thought
of getting away from the animated
breakfast food. The whole pier was
needed for the sidesteps of the cat,
and the snake made him look like a
new ring-tailed species of feline. Fi
nally a longshoreman butted in and
batted the snake on the head with a
hammer.
Then "Crocodile" squared away for
the funeral arrangements, which were
quickly and satisfactorily accomplished.

NATURE'S
PERFECT TONIC
There Is scarcely any one, no matter how vigorous and healthy, who
does not need a tonic sometimes. Little physical irregularities npset the
system, the appetite fails, digestion is poor, the body feels tired and worn
out, and other unpleasant symptoms give warning that the system is disor
dered and needs assistance to ward off, perhaps, some serious sickness or
ailment. S. S. S. is recognized everywhere as the best of all tonics, nature's
medicine, made entirely of healing, cleansing, invigorating roots and herbs,
a systemic remedy without an equal. S. S. S. has the additional value of
being the greatest of all blood purifiers. It re-establishes the healthy circu
lation of the blood, rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling, improves the
appetite and digestion, and brings about a return of health to those whose
systems have been weakened or depleted. S. S. S. acts more promptly and
pleasantly than any other medicine, and those who are run down in health
should commence its use at once. It will thoroughly purify the blood and
tone np the system. S. S. S. is admirably 6uited for a systemic remedy
because it is free from minerals ; it may be used without harmful results by
cersons of anv ae, and no unpleasant effects ever follow.
