rol. at a Mir political meeting in the

the personal fitness of Judge Taft for

when he told the story of how he had
heard William McKlnley. as President,

President. It was at the' time that
Juilfte Taft was on the Ohio bench that
McKinley sent for him and told him
that he proposed to appoint him Gover

srreat opportunity to serve your race
and your generation, and if you do as
I want you to do. you will one day be
President of the United States. For if

President of his country as the father

PIT BRANDENBURG IX JAIL
Democrats Take Extreme) Action.
Writer Says lie Had Authority.
PATTON. O., Oct. 22 As he was board
ing a train for New Tork City here this
afternoon. Broughton Brandenburg was
arrested by local detecti-es on the charge
of forgery and grand larceny. A tele
gram from tlie New York City Folic. De
partment advised the local department to
held him. He is alleged to have sold to
the New York Times a letter which he
alleged to have been written by the late
Grover Cleveland. In which the states
man predicted the election of Taft and
which letter is now declared to have been
a forgery.
Brandenburg was locked up. as the
amount of his ball was not fixed.
In a statement issued tonight Branden
burg says he had the proper authority
from Mrs. Cleveland and from Mr.
llastir.gs. co-executor of the Cleveland
estate, before he sold the article to the
Times, and furthermore asks if it Is
reasonable to suppose that any sane man
mould falsify the utterances of an ex
President of the United States for 120.
At the time be was arrested he said he
was on his way to New Tork City to give
District Attorney Jerome additional evi
dence. He says the arrest was made by
those Interested In offsetting Mr. Cleve
land's utterances, the object being "to
secure a dramatic climax Just before
the election."
Through his attorney, Brandenburg
issued the following statement:
"It appears that I am to be the Cap
tain Dreyfus of the campaign of 1908. I
have been peculiarly alone and am still
alone In my fight and. though ready to
welcome the great body of support which
the facts warrant me. If it does not
come, I shall go on alone.
The entire matter Is all fitting nicely
with colonel Wattersoti's plan, announced
before the article was published, that It
must be discredited by any means. It
remains to be seen If the American public
is to be bulldozed on one hand while I
am victimized on the other."
Habeas corpus proceedings are being
brought.
-YlLIi DEMAXD HEAVY BAIL
Jerome Send9 Request, Though

NEW YORK, Oct. 22. A telegram was
received at headquarters tonight from
Chief of Police P. J. Alaback. of Day
ton. O., saving that Brandenburg had
expressed his willingness to return to
New York without requisition papers.
Later another telegram was received that
an effort would probably be made by
friends of Brandenburg to obtain his re
lease tomorrow on bail.'
Upon this second message the District
Attorney's office requested the Dayton
authorities to demand large bail. Detec
tive Norman Fitzslmmons. of the Dis
trict Attorney's office will leave for Day

NEW YORK. Oct. 22. An audacious

Snow has blown into the railway cuts
and In many cases is over ten feet deep.
Snowplows are clearing the Canadian
Pacific tracks, but little progress can
be made until the snow ceases to fall.
The expresses from Vancouver and
other Western points are completely
stalled and westbound trains are held
up. No trains from tne East have
reached the city today, and It is un
certain when -they will get through.

train was sent to pull it -out.

If you happen to meet a man with

room. To .begin with there was Judge
Robert C. Morrow, who was master of
the fun making and, in the language
of the street poet, "he delivered the
goods. "
The big lodge room was crowded with
eager stags when Judge Morrow began
naming his committee to serve the ap
ples, cider, buttermilk and sandwiches,
and the audience was just as hungry
as thirsty, and each entertainer, as the
fun progressed, was received with a
real ovation. It was long after mid
night before the happy gathering broke
up.

RATE STRIFE IS CLEVELAND
MAY BE RE.XEWED.
Majority of Citizens Vote Against
City Service Has Been
Unsatisfactory.
CLEVELAND O., Oct. 22. The fran
chise under which the Municipal Traction
Company is operating the local street rail
way lines on a 3-cent fare basis, the re
sult 'of consolidation of all the lines of the
city, was defeated by a majority of S79
in the referendum vote here today. The
total vote cast was more than 75,000.
The defeat of the franchise may mean
that the railway property will revert to its
original owners and that the old rate of
fare strife- which lasted seven years, will
be renewed. The only alternative will be
for the City Council at once to gTant a
new franchise which will save the prop
erty to the Municipal Traction Company.
It is stated by unprejudiced observers
that the franchise was defeated not so
much upon the issue involved as upon the
general dissatisfaction of the public with
the service given by the operating com
pany, which was greatly curtailed in order
to place the property on a paying basis
at the lower rate of fare.
DRAGGED FROM OBSCURITY
New French Minister of Marine
Knows Nothing of Ships.
PARIS, Oct. 22. (Special.) The -new
Minister of Marine, AlfAd Picard, had
been forgotten by most Parisians since
the exposition of 1D0O, of which he was
chief commissioner. Long noted for high
administrative capacity, he was, though
not more than 64 years of age, generally
considered to have finished his career,
since he had received the highest honors
due to a man of his particular talents.
None of his occupations had anything to
do with the sea, but he has long been
known as a successful practical railway
man, as well as a writer of unusual
strength on the subject of railways in
general. Because a clean sweep is wanted
in the Marine Department, some of Prem
ier Clemenceau's colleagues object to M.
Plcard's lack of experience in the navy,
but it is almost certain that he will be ac
cepted. Little sympathy Is expressed anywhere
for M. Thomson, the retiring Minister of
Marine.
