CANDIDATE'S READY WIT
Tarns Collapse of Chair TTnder Him
Into Argument Against Bryan
Lands Tried and True Re
publicans of Kentucky.
. ' LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Oct. 15. Acting
on his declaration that "the South is a
part of the Union and aa such entitled
to be considered in the National elec
tion." W. H. Taft spent the day talking
in towns and cltlt-a In Kentucky.
He la the first Republican Presiden
tial candidate who came to the Blue
grass State. He will be the first Re
publican Presidential candidate to
carry his campaign into North Caror
Una and Virginia, which he Intends
visiting In the next two' days. His
reception has been typical of Southern
hospitality. The .attention he received
while expounding Republican doctrines
was such as to indicate more than
passing Interest.! The candidate made
many references to his reception dur
ing the day.
For the second time since his work
on the stump began. Mr. Taft made
reference to the Government guaranty
of bank" deposits." which Mr. Bryan is
urging upon the West. On that sub
ject, at Lexington, he paid his respects
to his opponent as follows:
Rips Vp Bryan's Pet Doll.
Mr. Bryan "has another proposition that Is
golna to be a panacea for everything, and that
ki th guaranty of bank Aepaalta. By that
proposition ho la going to make every respect
able, honest banker become the security, of
anybody that drslres to go Into the banking
buslnesa with the Idea of getting a large line
of depositors with a very small capital, and
the result or that I don't think It take a
clear-headed business man to see.
In Oklahoma, the place where they try out
the experiments, they are finding that banka
are being organised with a capital of SIO.OUO
by persona who have failed In the banking
business before, by men that axe under
chargea of embeszlement. but who are able to
get deposits by saying to depositors:
"I am a good fellow and want you to help
me out. Put your money In my bank, because
this million-dollar bank up here of Mr.
Fmlth'a Is my security that you will get your
deposits back."
Now. that la not a Joke: that la a real, gen
uine atatement of the condition that is to be
produced by that guaranty of bank deposits
proposition.
Hailed by Cheering Thousands.
The work of the day for Mr. Taft was
begun early this, morning at Hunting
ton, W. Va.', where he was taken from
the train to a rink and received by
thousands.
Mr. Taft talked of the policy of pro
tection and said it had been the maktng
of West Virginia and had put the state
in the Republican column as permanently
as Pennslyvania, and .Okip.. .
At Ashland the crowd was big and the
cheera of the sipping variety. The
thousands of people who gathered at the
station were enthusiastic and responsive
to the highest degree.
When the candidate appeared on the
rear platform and declared that "the
people of Ashland ought to pray for the
continuance of the Republican party in
power." a mighty shout went up: "We
will!"
At East Kentucky Junction he told the
crowd that he believed that Kentucky
Republicans were, almost better than
other Republicans, because they had to
fight.
At Olive Hill he was again met by an
enthusiastic crowd.
" At Salt I-ick the candidate told his
audience that he had been looking
through the crowd and felt both pleas
ure and pride at his reception from such
n,en, and then added:
"The Republicanism of Kentucky Is
tried and true. It took something to be
a Republican in the past."
Mishap Points Moral for Him.
The Lexington meeting had been ar
ranged with great care and the theater
where the meeting was held was packed
an hour before the special arrived.
When he arrived at the theater, the big
candidate made a decided hit by sitting
on a chair which crumbled to the floor
under him. Later, when speaking, the
Judge made a lesson of the Incident by
stating that "when It comes to affirma
tive policies, the Democratic party falls
between two chairs Just as I have done,"
Frankfort turned out enormous masses
to see and hear the candidate. He spoke
from the steps of the old capltol. An
enthusiast tore three buttons from the
candidate's vest in endeavoring to shake
hands.
Telling Rebuke to Partisans.
That Mr. Taft will not permit n
antagonistic partisan Interruption while
addressing an audience was illustrated at
Ehelhyvllle. where the special arrived
Just at dark. He spoke in a hall whioh
was crowded and. aa he proceeded there
were persistent cries of "Bryan."
Mr. Taft referred to the Interruption

Anna M. Nledt, who was literally scalped
yesterday when her hair became entan
gled in the cog wheels of a small tread
mill used for pumping water In the yard

her screams only made the animal add to
Its speed.
When she freed herself from the ma
chinery her hair had been entirely
stripped from her head, and .blood was
streaming down her face as she fell faint
ing Into the arms of her mother.

Dictator Returns to Prepare Re

United States and France
to Stand Behind Dutcb.
CARACAS. Venezuela, Oct. 15. That
the members of any revolutionary
movement Initiated during the pros
pective blockade of the Venezuelan
ports will be Immdiately shot as trait
ors to the country, if captured, is re
ported to be the present determination
of President Castro. This is his an
swer to the rumors and newspaper re
ports circulated to the effect that under
the cover of Dutch guns a revolution
ary movement Is about to be under
taken to overthrow the Castro govern
ment. Castro's Health Restored.
President Castro arrived in Caracas
from his tour of the Interior provinces
a very sick man, and his physicians
were in a state of real anxiety for
several days. The president's good
constitution came to his aid once more,
and his recovery was so rapid that on
Friday he drove up to the Yellow House
early in the morning to transact state
business, which had been accumulating
for two months. He was again in his
office at 7 o'clock this .morning, and
now all fears as to his recovery have
been dispelled.
The one topic of conversation in
Caracas today ia . the coming answer
to Holland's second note, which has
been reported to have set November 1
aa the date for the annulment 'of Cas
tro's trans-shipment decree, which has
beep so obnoxious to the people of
Curacao.
Venezuela's answer is being prepared
with great care. It is believed that in
It will be act forth the' reason why the
Dutch demand cannot and will not
be accepted or acceded to.
Holland Would Have Aid. -
.The danger to Venezuela today is not
In the strength of Holland's cause,
because It is. conceded that the Nether
lands government has no. casus belli.
On the contrary, Holland, it is assert
ed, has the weakest case of any of
those nations now at outs with Presi
dent Castro, but there are several na
tions, especially the United States and
France, it is said, who would be glad
to see Holland pull their chestnuts out
of the fire, arid these countries would
probably stand by Holland.

Unwarranted Meddling of Royal
Family Responsible for De

ROME. Oct.-, 15. (Special.) Through a
friend of Duke of Abruzzl, a correspond
ent has ascertained the following facts in
regard to the circumstances which pro
voked .the ElkinB denial that any ' en
gagement existed between the Duke and
Miss Katherlne Elklns:
Several members of the royal family
were- opposed to the match from the be
ginning. After the - King's consent had
been obtained this opposition was
silenced, only to appear again when the
recent breach of promise case Involving
Miss Elklns' brother came to light. Pres
sure was then brought to bear upon the
Duke to abandon the match, and Sena
tor Elkins was approached Indirectly
with a view to getting him to dissuade
his daughter from marrying the Duke,
thereby risking a cool reception at the
Italian court
Senator Elklns. who resented the inter
ference, denied that any engagement ever
existed. This made the Duke furious and
he expressed" a determination to marry
Miss ElkinB at all costs. Including even
his rank and title, which he said he
would abandon, if need be. -

With one of the largest and most bril

that was ever gathered together in at
tendance at both the afternoon matinee
and the evening programmes, the Port
land Hunt Club yesterday opened its
second annual Horse Show
The stately Oriental building, with Its
brilliant lights and handsome grounds,
and Its exceptionally fine display of
equine excellence, was a picture that will
linger long In the minds of thofc who
were seated in the building. j
Witli everything favorable but the wea
ther, -he judging began at' 2 o'olock In
the afternoon and promptly at 8' o'clock
in the evening. While the attendance at
the matinee was riot as large as might
have been expected. It was the weather
that kept them away. Long before the
time for judging the evening programme
began, the. entrance to the Oriental build
ing was lined with automobiles and car
riages. Show Fine as Any.
It looked as though every available
automobile and carriage in Portland was
In use and it was almost 9 o'clock be

Miss Leon a Davis Plants Blow in
Theatrical Man's Face and Then
Turns Him Over to Policeman.
A would-be "masher" felt the sudden
impact of two firm little fists on his
copntenance last night, and before he
Lfound himself in the hands of a burly
found himself in th6 hands of a buryl
policeman, who hurried him off to the
City Jail, there to spend the night and
to' explain to Judge Van Zante this
morning how he happened to be break
ing the ordinance framed by Council
man George Baker to fit just such
cases as this.
Eugene Wilson, who says he Is the
representative of the "Honeymooners,"
was standing in a doorway on West
Park street, ogling the women who
passed. Miss Leon a Davis, living at
190 West Park street, came along and
Wilson seized her by the arm and at
tempted to force her to go with him.
rtiat Is the story she told to Acting
rtJaptaln Golts. Wilson said he mis
took the young woman for a friend
of his. The acting captain weighed the
stories of the two, and then ordered
that Wilson be confined in the Jail that
he might explain the matter to the Po
lice Judge this morning.
Miss Davis Is a pretty, plucky yfcung
girl, and the fact that she used her fists
with good effect before turning over
her annoyer to an officer created a
sympathy for her. Wilson appears a
typical young sport, and his story that
he was a theatrical man did not miti
gate at. all. In his favor at the police
station. Miss Davis says she will ap
pear In Police Court this morning to
press the charge against Wilson. Dur
ing the night he succeeded in getting
ball and was released.
CREW FINDS CAT; DESERTS
Fishing Schooner Delayed in Sail
ing Because of Feline.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 15. (Special.)
Deserted by her crew at the very moment
of sailing for the North, the fishing
schooner Edrlc, due to leave at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, still lies at . her
moorings and all because of a cross-eyed
black cat.
Yesterday the members of the crew
were making final arrangements to sail,
when a, yell resounded' out of the hold.
A sailor burst through the hatch, scram
bled over the side and made off . before
anyone could stop him. While the others
were gazing after his retreating form, a
yowl' resounded from the darkness below
and a black cat sprang on the deck.
One look at the otub-tailed green-eyed
grimalkin was enough. Every man jack
of the crew picked up his bundle and si
lently departed. Nor. can the captain by
any means lure one of them back on
board.

Secretary Handled Money.
NEW TORK, Oct. 15. In the case of
Charles Morse, the banker and promoter
who came to grief In the financial panic
of last year, and Alfred H. Curtis, ex
presldent of the National Bank of North
America, which began today before Judge
Hough and a Federal Jury, It developed
that the Jury will be locked up each night
and placed under the guard of six United
8tates Deputy Marshals, and that all of
the Government's material witnesses have
been under the surveillance of secret
service operatives and that they will ba
closely watched during the trial.
The lawyers for the defense expressed
indignation at the locking up of the Jury
and shadowing of witnesses, saying such
a procedure was without precedent in this
city in cases similar to that on trial, and
that It reflected upon the lawyers for
the defense.
Jurors Dislike Prospect.
While the Jurors did not express
dissatisfaction at the order which pre
vented them from going to their homes,
they were evidently displeased, for the
trial "will drag along for at least six
weeks, according to lawyers for both
sides.

brought out today. The introduction
in, .e-vidence of a power ' of attorney
from Morse to his secretary- Miss

tant "By the prosecutlbn. A check for
J10O.O00 credited to the bank and
charged to the account of Morse was
also put in evidence.
Immediately after the Jury had been
sworn, Morse and Curtis pleaded not
guilty to the indictments, which charge
them with a violation of the National
banking laws and conspiracy, and Dis
