ted Part of Taft'a Record.
riTTSBURO, Oct. 27-H. R. Ful
ler, of Beaver Fall, Fa., national ex
ecutive of the Rational Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen
and Railway Trainmen, gave the As
sociated l'rts tonight a copy of the
letter mailed yesterday to President
Rooievett commenting on the Pres
ident's letter to P. II. Crace, finan
cier of Lodge No. 36, Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, who in behalf
of himself and associates wrote to
the President asking how they could
best serve their interests in the pres
ent campaign. The president in re
ply urged the support of Taft and
discussed at length the questions af
fecting labor., Fuller says he is at a
loss to understand why Grace
should have sought the President'!
counsel, when ' Taft's attitude has
been fully and impartialy set forth
in Brotherhood publications. Fuller
says had Grace done this he would
have found Taft's complete labor
record and would be in possession
of facts rather than in the position
of having been misled by the Presi
dent of the United States. Fuller
tells the President that the most im
portant part of Taft's labor, record
Is omitted by the President and this
letter for object supplying that de-
ficiency. ' , ,. ' ,.' . '.; ;
Fuller then refers to the decision j
by Taft in 1904 refusing to a petition

ludes to a further decision by Taft In
th same case few weeks later in
which he refused to pay overtime to

the order so that they received it

unjust to make employes work over-

Taft stated in refusing the petition
that if the time is only 35 minute
late the trainmen would purposely
delay them. '

A.SIUIUR CASE HOW
Court Also Holds That a Writ of '.Review In This Cass Would Hm
Afforded the Plaintiff a Legal Remedy for tha
Injury It Had Sustained.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 27. Supreme
Justice Moore holds valid the pro
visions of the charter of the City of
Medford exempting the regulation
of saloons and liquor traffic in that
municipality from the operation of
the liquor law. This opinion is giv
en in the case of J. C. Hall, respond
ent vs. George W. Dunn, County
Judge of Jackson County, and the
County Court of that county, appel-
lantj and is an affirmation of the de
cree of Judge H. K. Hanna of the
First Judicial District.
The Supreme Court holds that
though a general statue will not im
pliedly repeal a special law previous
ly enacted, the rule is well settled
that if the special statute is the later
inactmcnt, it necessarily operates to
circumscribe the effect of the prev
ious general act from which it dif
fers. This opinion practically opens the
way. for every incorporated town in
the state to revise its charter so as
to exempt the regulation of liquor
traffic within its limits from the op
eration of the local prohibition law,
no matter if the entire state be voted
dry. A similar case is pending de
cision of the Supreme Court involv
ing the question of local option in
the City of Dallas.. ,
"Wljere a general local option law
has by a majority 'vote," continues
the court, "been made applicable to
specified territory, of which a cky
formed a part, a subsequent amend

HEARST ACCUSES CHANLER.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. W. R.
Hearst tonight varied his " program
of reading so-called Standard Oil
letters by centering his attack on
Lieutenant-Governor Chanler the
Democratic candidate fro governor.
In short he accused Chanler of em
ploying a press agent who gave out
notices ridiculing Bryan's candidacy
while Chanler's qualifications were
extolled. With this as a basis Hearst
attempted to show that Chanler's
present attitude toward Bryan was
one of hypocricy and that Chanler is
a "Traitor and a turncoat."
PEACE APPEARING.
SOFIA. Oct. 27.-The' Bulgarian
.government informed the represen-
PEiiDiHG AT DALLAS
thorizing the Council to license the
sale of intoxicating liquors impliedly
repealed the prior local option law
so far as the city was concerned. ;
"The amendment of section 2 of
article 11 of the Oregon law, empow
ering the legal voters of every city
and town to enact and amend their
municipal charters, subject to the
constitution and the criminal laws of
the state, is not self-executing, and
operates prospectively only, so that
the adoption of such an amendment
(the clause in the Medford charter
empowering the Council to regulate
the liquor traffic, irrespective of any
general law of the state on the sub
ject enacted by the Legislature or
by the people at large) did not alter
the charter of the city of Medford,
as enacted by the Legislative Assem
bly, February 7, 1905.
"The amended charter having re
pealed the provisions of the local
option liquor law, so far as the city
of Medford is concerned, no error
was committed in overruling the de
murrer and in granting the relief,
awarded. , ,. . -
"The court also, holds irf this case
that a writ of review would have
afforded the plaintiff a legal remedy
for the injury he might have sustain
ed in 'the manner indicated (the re
covery of damages to stock and
trade). A court of equity, according
to the facts alleged in the complaint,
also had concurrent jurisdicion of
he subject matter of the suit and
was authorized to grant a temporary
injunction."

FREDERICKSCItAFEN, Oct. 27.
Prince Henry of Prussia spent sev
eral hours in the air today as a guest
of Count Zeppelin who made an as
cension in his remodeled airship. Not
only did the Prince thoroughly enjoy
the trip, but he sat at the steering
gear for many miles and guided the
movements of the craft, compelling
it to execute all kinds of complicated
maneuvers.- . The Prince's satisfac
tion was unbounded and he gave an
expression to it in a telegram which
he sent to the Emperor:. .
"Under Zeppelin's guidance, I felt
just as safe as on my own flag

MADE COMPLETE CONFESSION
In Course of His Confession Burton
Gives Names of Forty Members of
the Band of Whom Many Ar
Now Under Arrest,
TIPTONVILLE, Oct. 27.-"Rcd"
Burton, the self-confessed night rid
er, told a remarkable story today of
the night rider operations in the
vicinity of Reel Root Lake, confess
ing to the part he had played in the
outrages which reached a culmina
tion in putting, to death Captain
Quentin Rankin and implied men
prominent in this section. Of those
who he declared had a part in the
killing of Captain Rankin, more than
half are now in custody at Camp
Nemo.
A confession was made in the jail
to Sheriff JIaines of this county. It
wis maTe voluntarily. While Bur
ton denied he was present when
Rankin was killed he admits it was
through information given by him
that the band congregated and seiz
ed the attorney while he stopped at
the hotel at Walnut Log. Accord
ing 4o Burton, Tom and Garrett
Johnson, under arrest and William
Watson, under bond in connection
with another raid were the leaders
of the lake band.
Coming to the killing of Rankin,
Burton declared the night before the
lynching he met James J. Carpenter
at Walnut Log from whom he learn
ed that Rankin and Judge Taylor
were to be there to inquire in a tim
ber deal. Burton says he com
cunicated this fact to the night rid
ers. He says he saw two men at
the hotel the next night but left
Walnut Log early in the night. In
the course of his confession Burton
gave the names of no less than 40
members of the night riders. Car

feet and moving rapidly against a
strong wind he disappeared behind a
bank of clouds. Soon messages be
gan to arrive from towns in the
Rhine Valley announcing trie pas
sage of the airship. About 2 o'clock
in the afternoon a sonorous sound
from the sky indicated the craft was
returning. Soon it appeared above
the thronged streets of Constance,
where the Prince saluted acknowl
edgment from the cheering crowd
below. After maneuvering? above
Kale Lake, near Constance, for some
time, the airship, made its way to
