In the middle of the ste. and iron district of Cleveland. William H. Taft today commanded the closest attention of an trnmenfte audience. A half hour before Tie reached, the city the Immense tent In which the meeting was held was filled and the audience patiently waited dur ing the half-hour delay caused by the La ten ens of the randtrfate's train. When Mr. Taft appeared he was warmly welcomed. He bfan at once to talk with an rarnestness which ciufH closest attention. He showed from his viewpoint why It was that the Jt m erica n workman needed the protec tion of the tariff and what had been the result whe-n lie had not had that pro tection. Mr. Taft followed this with a detailed account of his own personal experiences with the labor world. He explained that the decisions he had rendered while on the bench and for which he was now condemned by W. J. Bryan and Samuel (Jompers were lb reality the lepal basis of labor orsan Izations of the preesnt day, and upon that basis they had arrown and pros pered until today they were stronger than ever.

The boat, how evt-r. could not reach us as we were being dragged through the waves at the rate of 15 or : miles an hour. Thn the boatmen shouted to us to jump overboard, which we did. C ouldn't Save Balloon. "I tried to save the St. Louis club's balloon by ripping it up. but the rope was Jerked out of my hands.

The wind shifted and we returned In the direction of Herlln. which we ob served last night. We then traveled northward in a thick fog and were un able to read the maps. Suddenly we discovered tnat we were over water and decided to descend. This was ac complished with some dtmculty and we lunded n a treetop near Wismer. on the shores of the Haiti.-. . "We were within 10 yards of the steep oMITs. but we climbed out of our dangerous position with .the assistance of fishermen. We were obliged to cut down the trees in order to save the balloon.

Edna Wallace Hopper, the actress, today told Charles E. Llttlefleld, receiver of the failed brok erage firm of A. O. Brown & Co.. that the head of that firm and aha are engaged to be married. The receiver was inquiring Into the cir cumstances under which A. O. Brown gave Miss Hopper a 17500 automobile and transferred to her an Insurance policy on his life for 125.000. Miss Hopper, who had been called as a witness, declared that the transfers were made long before the brokerage firm got Into trouble. "Mr. Brown gave me the car on March 2." she said, "knowing that of all things I most wanted, I had never received a motor car. . He knew I would enjoy it. The young woman then stated that at the time of the transactions In question, there existed and still exists an engage ment of marriage between her and Mr. Brown. She Paid Chauffeur After Failure. Miss Hopper said that ' after the gift and nearly up to the time of the failure. Mr. Brown had paid the garage bill. but. when she went on a tour with a theatrical company and took the car with her, she paid the garage bills her self. Mr. Brown also had paid the chauffeur up to within three weeks of the failure, said Miss Hopper, and then she paid him herself. The insur ance policy was given her two weeks after she received the automobile, she said. Mr. Brown's deceased wife had beesi the beneficiary," went on the witness, "and he wanted me to be the benefi ciary the same as she had been. He told me to give It to my attorney and have the transfer made." A formal demand that the automobile and the Insurance policy be turned over to the receiver was then made. Before Miss Hopper could reply to the request Mr. Lauterbach. special counsel for the firm of A. O. Brown & Co., asked: They Are Still Engaged. "Was there any engagement of mar riage between you and Mr. Brown?" "Yes." replied Mlsa Hopper. "It be gan on the day the car was presented to me." "And there was an engagement ring, which you still have?" continued Mr. Lauterbach. "Yes." answered Miss Hopper, smiling and Mushing. "Yes, I still have It." "You are still engaged?" "We are." "Now. Miss Hopper, you have said there was no consideration in return for these gifts?" "Yes." 'You repeat that?" "Well, there was no consideration other than my engagement to marry Mr. Brown." Refuses to Give Up Property. . "That Is sufficient under the Federal statutes," said Mr. Lauterbach. Then turning to the counsel for the receiver, he said: "Do you make a demand for the ring? Because If you do, we refuse to accede to the demands of the receiver." "Yes. certainly we will refuse." said Miss Hopper, firmly. "You don't get that ring." "Don't want it," exclaimed counsel for the receiver, tersely. Miss Hopper also formally declined to give up the automobile or the in surance policy. She also testified to having received a gift of money from Mr. Brown after returning from an automobile tour which she took alone. The money was "Just a gift, to do with as I pleased." This concluded her tes timony. The hearing was adjourned to Friday next. SAYS SENATE IS CORRUPT Folk Declares It Needs Reform More Than Missouri. ST. LOlTIS, Oct. 13. A special to the Republic from Golden City, Mo., says that Governor Joseph W. Folk In a campaign speech there tonight said that the United States Senate is more corrupt, than ever the Missouri Legris lature or the St. Louis Assembly, in both of which Mr. Folk, when Circuit Attorney of St. Louis, unearthed ex tensive bribery. Mr. Folk said in part: The treat work of the next few years in the battle of the people against the ene mies of the peop'e will be upon the field of the Senate of the United States. There Is no place In all this world where there Is more to be' done for the people against graft, (treed and lawlessness than there. While there are. no doubt, many good men in the Senate, there is undoubtedly more rottenness there than there ever was in the Legislature of Missouri or even in the As sembly of St. Louis. At least half a doaen Senators have be-n exposed during the last year or two. Instead of being Senators of the people, too many of them have been subsidized by special interests to represent thm Instead of the people. If the Democrats of Missouri wish me to continue in the United States Senate the work commenced as Circuit Atttorney of St. Louis and as Governor of Missouri. I shall do so. The reforms that I have worked In St. Louis and in Missouri mut be fought for in the United States Senate. If the referm work lm to continue.

ON TRAIL OF TAFT Bryan Tries to Undo Rival's Work in Nebraska. HAS CARLOAD OF ORATORS Accuses Opponent of Dropping Guar antee Discussion and Claiming Credit for Good Crops Due ' Only to Almighty. WAHOO, Neb.. Oct. 13. Accompanied by all Democratic candidates for state offices with the exception 6f one or two, W. J. Bryan today campaigned in his own state and tonight at this place completed the first of the three dajV Nebraska tour. Big crowds greeted him at. every point, and when his day's work was over lie had delivered 21 speeches varying in length from five minutes to one hour. His arguments were confined mostly to answering the statements of W. H. Taft and Governor Hughes, who but recently visited Nebraska. The audi ences were mostly farmers and the Democratic candidate frequently moved them to loud applause. The road was through numerous Republican strong holds. A carload of speakers was brought alonjr out of Omaha, and at each place visited by Mr. .Bryan one was dropped off to complete the work of expounding Democratic doctrine. Says Taft Shifts Ground. Mr. Bryan accused Mr. Taft of not making the speech in Nebraska that he had been making in other parts of the country. "He did not discuss the guarantee of bank deposits," he said, "doubtless be cause he was informed that the people of Nebraska are in favor of the guar antee of bank deposits. His appeal was to the farmers, and it was based upon the fact that the farmers have had good crops and fair prices, but did the Reupbllcan party give you good crops? All who think the Republican party is responsible for good, crops should thank the Republican party. Those who believe, as we do, that the good crops are due to the fertility of the soil, to seasonable rains and to the warmth of the sunshine, should thank the Almighty." Hughes and 2-Cent Fare. Mr. Bryan sailed into Mr. Hughes because of his criticisms of the trust Dlank of the Democratic platform and held him up as the enemy of the 2-cent- a-mile rate fares, "while all over tnis Western country Republican Governors signed bills asking for snch a fate." No little amusement was created at Pender when an old man in the audi ence who said he was a Prohibition-Republican interrupted Mr. Bryan and de clared that "we don't care where the money comes from." The candidate re torted that that seemed to be the pol icy of the Republican party. MORE HARRIMAN BONDS Union Paciric Stockholders Autho- rlxe Increase. SAL.T LAKE CITY. Oct. 13.
