DONNELLI RETURNS.
He Tells About the Bacon-Shakes-
peare Theory in England.

New YoRK, August 20-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEEl-Ignatius Donnelly, who
went to London to get his book on the Bacon
Shakespeare theory copyrighted, returned
yesterday on the Aurania. He said many
Englishmen had been converted to his
famous theory, and among the converts was
England's bright statesman, John Bright.
Donnely said that generally the English
press was against him and attempted to rid.
icuie his book. Since he appeared at the
universities of Oxford and Cambridge, where
he lectured before the students, many men
of cultured minds had taken an interest in
his work. After q debate at Oxford vote
was taken, and there We're 127 in
favor of Shakespeare . and thirty-seven
in favor Of Bacon. At Cambridge the
vote was l0l for Bacon and 12l for Shakes
peare. The question under debate was
ibid Francis Bacon write Shakespeare's
plays?" "We had it hot and heavy for four
hours" said Donnelly, "but gave them as
good as they sent" Mr. Donnelly said he
visited the British museum and examined
Shakespeare upon the record there, and he
is more convinced than ever that Bacon
wrote Shakespeares plays. Donnelly says
he is not going into politics, but will con tnue
his work on the Shakespeare subject.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, August 20-ISpecial
Telegram to The BEE. The ST. Pauls took
another game from the Corn Huskers to-day
because of the poor throwing to second OF

during the game. The visitors had got but
four hits in as many different innings off
Duryea up to the eighth, when two singles
and double gave them two earned runs.
In the ninth, after two hands were out,
Sneed hit for two bases and scored
on Reccius' single. Everybody ex-
pected to see repetition of Saturdays

imposed on the consumer which amounts in
effect TO nearly or quite as much as the orig
iaal cost of the goods. There are men auua-
cious enough to say that n high protective
tariff is for the benefit of the laboring man.
Why, in the name of all that is common
sense and reason, how can laboring man
be aided by a tax that begins at the crown
of his head and extends TO the soles
of his feet and taxes cvcrythingl How IN
the name of heaven, can il be tnat the laboring
man is benefited by such tax. OF all the
humbugs by which men were attempted to
be deceived, this ls the greatest I ever heard
of. But, SAYS some one, it enables the manu-
facturers TO pay higher wages, and therefore
is Il benefit to the laborng men, Did YOU
ever know any manufacturer that paid higher
wages to his hands because of an increase of
the tariff There Is man named Barnum in
this country-a man who has gathered to-
gethcr in his show more curiosities
than perhaps can be found in any other
single place on earth, but among all
his curiosties he has never found such
curiosity as the manufacturer who paid
higher wages TO his hands because of q raise
in the tariff. Another of the deceptons of
these tariff orators or high protection orators
is to say that the consumer does not pay the
tax. If he don't pay it who doesi A man
who stands far in your community, and who
has u face that would license him as a
preacher of the gospel, will get up before his
fellow citizens and tell them that the tariff
lessons the price of commodities. If so, why
of a high tariff DO they want
to reduce the price of their
own goodst These people come before you
and draw glowing picture of the wealth
and prosperity of our country. That is all
very well, indeed, although it would be
little fairer if they would give the other side
of the picture and show how the agricultural
interests and the value Of agriculture has so
wonderfully decreased since they had this
high tariff in operation. How can a country
be made rich by the government taxing its
people far beyond any necessity that the
government has for taxationi How can it be
that you can be made rich by Uncle Sam
thrusting his hands in your pockets and TAX
ing from you more than is necessary for the
support of the governments There are now
Sll5,O0O, 900 locked up in the treasury, beyond
the amount that the government needed for
its expenditures. If it were in the pockets of
the people, where it belongs it could be used
in business and for other necessities, which
would make tens of thousands comfortable
who are now in dcstitution. But it is
time for me to stop | am to be followed by
a gentleman whom | commend to your ear
nest and careful attention. | have the pleas
ure of presenting Hon Joseph IL. Outhwaite

you for your kind attention.
At the conclusion of Judge Thurman's

Billy Cranston, the South Omaha pugilist,
who is to meet Jimmy Lindsay in six-round
contest for the middeweight medal on the
evening of September Sd, called at THE BEE
Office yesterday. He said that it was
being noised about that the contest was to be

the amount. He said further that Lindsay
told him. Cranston, that he would stop him
before the termination of the stipulated num-
Der of rounds, and he is particularly anxious
that Jimmy covers his half century. Gran
ston is confident that he can best Lindsay in

INCIDENT TO THE WAR
Two Men With Histories in the Late
Railroad Fight.

The whirligig Of time makes many turns.
The changes are SO vast and varied that It
need not seem strange to find a linguist with
twenty-five languages at his tongues end
bossing gang of Italian laborers in the
streets of Omaha. Such a case was one of
the incidents of Sundays struggle between
the street car companies.
Among the men employed to dig and shovel
for DR.. Mercers motor line on Douglas street
was party of thirty dagoes. They under
stood little or no English, and young man
named Higginson was employed to act as in
terpreter and director Higgnson is a
Rhode Islander and a nephew of the
writer, Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
son. His mother was French, but
he prides himself on the Irish blood of his
father. Higgnson spent eight years at Rome
attending the school of the propaganda.
This is where he acquired his numerous
languages. This school, named Col
legium Urbauum after Pope Urban
is intended to take the select young
men of all countries and races, and give
them the highest education without cost and
send them out in the world armed and
equipped to be apostles of the Roman Cath
olic religion.
There were 800 members in Higginsons
class, and he passed third in standing, no
table achevment of itself The man who
took second place was an Abyssinian negro
as black as coal.
The linguistic scope of the school may be
measured from an account of one of the au-
nual exhibitions given before the pope.
The students recited poetical compositions in
forty-nine languages. Twcnty-one Asiatic
and African dialects were used. There were
songs in Chaldc, Arabic Kurd, Cngalesc,
Armenian and Syriac. Twenty-eight Euro
peIn languages were represented in songs
and recItations.
Higginson had a modest fortune of S35, 600
He dropped the last of it, about Si00, in the
Diamond pool room He has had ups and
downs, but says he usually lands on his feet.
His engagement on the streets of Omaha In
charge of gang of maccaroni eaters was a
makeshift to tide him over a temporary
stringency in his financial resources.
But Father Times whrlgig had another
turn incident to the street car work of Sun
day. The head boss for DR.. Mercer was a
Mr. Cooper He was n man of eXecu-
tive force, and it was evident that
he was accustomed to handling laborers.
Mr.. Cooper helped to construct the Broad
way surface track in New York. which
hatched a brood of booders and led to Jake
Sharp's disgrace and death. Mr.. Cooper had
charge of the section between Chambers and
Tenth streets. twas put down in five days
by working nights. Afterwards he went to
Chilli, in South America, to establish plant
for the Edison Electric Light company. He
came to Omaha two years ago, and travelled
for an eastern concern until recently.

PREPARING FOR THE FRAY.
Des Moines Rapidly Filling Up With
Republican Candidates.
A NEW ELEMENT IN THE FIELD.
Indications That the Farmers viii
Play au Important Part i'm the
Coming State Convention
Iowa Notes.


DEs MONIES, Ia, August 90 Special Tel
egram to THE BEE. The advance guard of
politicians to the republican state convention
is putting in an appearance tonight. AL
though the convention does not meet till
Wednesday, nearly all Of the candidates are
here and have opened headquarters. There
is large sprlnkling of rural members and SO
many new faces are seen as to suggest that
new element is attending the convention this
year. This is largely due TO the interest in
the railroad question, the farmers alliances
in many localities having organized the
county conventions and sent delegations of
their own to the state convention. So it re-
sembles the days before the opening of the
legislature, and many things suggest one of
the old-time granger Legislatures, where the
anti-monopoly spirit was particularly Wig
orous.
1t seems to be practically settled that Rail
road Commissioners Smith and Campbell
will be renominated. The farmers alliance
are for them and many delegates come
pledged to them, though there are so many
candidates ostensibly for the third place that
possibly one of the first two named may get
lost in the struggle. A number OF candi-
dates for commissioner are backward in
coming in. Only part are here, while all
the candidates for attorney general are on
the ground hard at work OF these John Y.
Stone of Glenwood seems to be in the lead =,
while Milton Remley, Judge Winslow and
Attorney General Baker follow in the order
named. So far each has kept out of the
combination, though it is reported that Gen
eral Baker has tied his fortunes to Commits
soners Smith and Campbell and hopes to go
through on the ground that he has been
fighting their battles and ought to be left
to see the fight through.
The three candidates for supreme Judge,
Sewers, the incumbent, Judge Granger, of
Allamakee county, and Judge Given, of this
city, are nearly evenly balanced. with Given,
possibly, in the lead. IL is rather expected
that the convention will be pretty radical on
the railroad question, as many of the old
time leaders are absent and the machinery
will be largely in he hands of new men.

Some More Old Relics,

DEs MONIES, Ia, August 20.-lSpecial
to THE BEE. The presidential campaign so
far has been very successful in bringing out
venerable relics of other campaigns and
other times. Tippecanoe emblems are the
most common, and badges and flags and
handkerchiefs of the 1910 brand are very
numerous. A relic of another kind was
iished out of the chimney corner by resi-
dent of this county recently. 1t is a roll of
money issued in good old democratic free
trade days that lost its value years ago. The
bills were issued by state or local banks in 1856
One of them, a IS bill of the Agricultural
bank of Tennessee, is stamped 81. Stevens,
banker, Fort Des Moines. Ia" The money
was received by the owner in payment for
hogs sold in this place at a cent and half
pound, and while he was holding it to get
enough to buy q piece of land the bank that
issued it failed, and the bills became worth
less paper.

IOwa's Dairy Interests,

TIE BEE Iowa dairy products have be-
como famous the world over But Dairy
Commissioner Sherman says that of late the
Iowa butter makers are not doing the best
they can, and that their products are not
holding up with eastern competition. His
warning may stimulate them to do better,
and Iowa has too good a record in this line to
lower ii in any respect. The first creamery
in this state was started fourteen years ago.
There are now 495 creameries in Iowa, be-
side iifty-six cheese factories, and 50, 900, 900
