FINDS SO PAXIO IS KANSAS
Taft Received With Joy by Farmers.
Talks of Prosperity.
HUTCHINSON. Kan.. Oct. 3. That
the political significance of the Taft
special, with Its heavy load of state
inrt National political leaders, which
passed today Uirough Southern Kan
sas, was fully appreciated, there could
be no doubt. The crowds at every ta
tlon were large and enthusiastic. The
speakers, including-, besides the can
didate. Senator Dolliver, Mr. Stubbs.
candidate for Governor. J. L Bristow.
candidate for Senator, and others, were
applauded with vigor.
"The interest and enthusiasm sur
passes even our most sanquine expec
tat:ons." declared Senator Curtis to the
candidate. "Judue Taft. you will car
ry Kansas by from 36.000 to 36,000
majority."
Mr. Taft left no doubt as to his care
ful study of economic conditions per
taining; to Kansas. He told his audi
ences that on the one Item of corn tha
farmers of the state received 140,000,000
In 1907 more than they would have re
ceived under Democratic rule, which
brought the price of corn to 18 cents
a bushel Instead of 44 cents, the pres
ent price. The crop of oats, barley, po
tatoes and hay, under Republican rule
the same year added $18,000,000 to the
income of Kansas farmers, while the
difference between 816.000.000 and 896.
000.000 had been added in the value of
horses and the price of mules.
At Stafford, a voice interrupted Mr.
Taft to ask:
"How about the panic?"
"Are you suffering; from a panic
here?" was the retort, and tremendous
app'ause seemed to be the answer, but
the candidate added:
"If you think Mn Bryan's election
will avoid panics, then I advise you to
vote for him."

NEW YORK, Oct. S. Chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican National
Committee, has postponed his depar

understood that the cause of Mr.
Hitchcock's detention here is the con
tinuation of the plan for obtaining
money from the various state mana
gers for the National campalgrn.
He was asked if he had received any
reports from Illinois that that state
was in doubt. He said there was local
disaffection here and there in Illnols.
but there was no reason why it should
affect the National ticket.

GUY OF COERCION
Mack Says Employers Threat
en Their Workmen.
WILL CAUSE PUNISHMENT
i
Democratic Chairman Says Threats
of Dismissal Are Bribery Talks
of Exposing Employers Who
Vse Terrorism.
NEW YORK. Oct. 8. Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional committee, said today before
leaving for the West that a special
fund of 85000 had been appropriated
and set apart for the purpose of pun
ishing any person or corporation which
endeavors to coerce employes in the
National election. Mr. Mack explained
that numerous complaints had been
received by the National committee
from employes throughout the coun
try that they had been threatened with
dismissal If they persisted in support
of the Democratic ticket. Mr. Mack
continued:
"This is attempted bribery, and is
punishable as such. Threats of dis
missal or to reduce wages of employes
if they vote for Mr. Bryan or prom
ises of higher wages if they vote for
Mr. Taft are plain bribery. We are
not afraid of the effect of such tactics
in this election, because the laboring
man cannot be bribed or scared Into
submission to the will of his master
In a matter as sacred as the ballot,
but I think It Is the duty of this com
mittee to protect the American work
ingraan from such methods.
"It ia not advisable at the present
time to give the names of these em
ployes. That would be an injustice to
them. But the name of every guilty
employer will be published and full
publicity given to his case, both be
fore and after election. The "slip in
the pay envelope a few days before
election advising how to vote will not
be permitted this year, as In former
campaigns."

The jury pays its respects to Briggs,

Is also called to the fact that the num

rockpile does not tally with the num
ber sent out by the county. For exam
ple, it Is shown that 23 were sent out
by Sheriff Stevens and that but 18 could
be accounted for when the County
Court's man, Briggs, had gotten charge
of them. Briggs is not accused of hav

No serious abuses have been in prac

Horror Is expressed by the Jurors at

wherein girls from 5 to 8 years of age

One Indictment Is Made.
One indictment and two dismissals
were provided in minor criminal cases.

a few minutes before 6 o'clock. It
was received by Presiding Judge Gan

who took occasion to compliment the
Jurors upon their earnest and con

to the fact that they had served at a
considerable sacrifice to themselves,
that they were to be commended upon
having faithfully discharged all their
obligations fully, freely and without
complaint at the valuable time con
sumed. The Jury, during its month's career,
returned 42 true bills and 19 not true

ASK PRIMARY CONVENTION
Walla Walla Republicans Decide
Move Is Unnecessary.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.)
Fearing that the direct primary law
might be declared Illegal and that they
would thus be out of the political race,
the Walla Walla Republican County can
didates today met and discussed calling
upon the county central committee to or
der an old-fashioned primary convention
to again place them In nomination.

Licit to Her Fate.

of the lost vessel, that all of the 111
men who lost their lives might have
been saved had F. Farrar and, P. Ham
ilton, the captains of the tugs Kayak
and Hattle Gage, displayed more liero
ism and not left them to their fate. It
was developed that Just before the
tugs cut louse from the Star of Bengal
they seemed to be pulling in opposite
directions, as though their commanders
were not acting in harmony. The cap
tains of the tugs will be given a hear
ing before a decision is reached by the
inspectors.
Captain Nicholas Wagner, Mate Vic
tor Johanson and several members of
the crew testified before a Federal In
spector that the blame of the loss of
the vessel and 111 lives rested upon
the towboat captains. Their testimony
was to the effect that the tugs had
made no effort to save the lives on the
Bengal, but had remained away a
period of iff hours, during which time
the ship was driven ashore. Captain
Wagner affirmed that there was a
period of two hours after the Bengal
had been cut adrift during which every
life might have been saved. Alt Olsen,
a seaman, testified that the towline of
the Hattle Gage had been cut on board
the tug.
Captain Wagner has been directed
to swear his charges before the proper
Inspector at Washington. The accused
towboat captains will tben be prose
cuted for manslaughter.

mystery. The prisoners, Lock Jong

Wash., today by Customs Inspector
