Has no Effect on john
sons Meetings.
THREE CENT FARES
Discussed BY Mayor Tom--
Would Not Affect Wages
Of Traetieu EN-
pIoyecs.

Cleveland, Oct. 80. - The very cold
weather last night had no appreciable
effect upon Mayor Johnson's two tent
meetings. Both gatherings we're very
we'll attended and of a lively character.
The mayor. made several new points
in his two speeches and answered a
number Of questions of an interesting
nature. 1.t
The meetings were held at the corner
of Burton and Woodbridge streets and
at the corner of Siblcy and Hayward
streets. At the Burton street meeting
there was not single question and
the mayor made a speech that called
forth enough enthusiasm to percept-
IDLY warm the shivering spectators.
Hanna last night said that he is
camping on my TRAIL" said Mayor
johnson, II am very glad to hear it.
Now, II the old man will only hurry
up little will go slow, and perhaps
he will overtake me. That would be
most satisfactory. There are a great
many things which would like to
discuss with him, and 1t is very pleas
ing to know that he is camping on
my trail But, seriously, do not be-
lieve he will get much further than
camping on my trail. ! believe that
he has no wish TO overtake me. This
Is not because Mr.. Hanna is afraid.
He Is not coward. But there are ?
number of questions which he kn0xf
/ would ask him, and he does not dare
face these propositions. He is not a
liar. He would have to run or ans
wer, and he would not answer false
ly. And Mr.. Hanna is not the kind OF
q man who enjoys running away. so
] fear that his camping on my tratl
will not bring about the meeting which
we have all SO greatly desired"
At the Sibley street meeting there
was no lack OF interesting features.
The mayor was not allowed to make
any set speech, but was kept busy
from the start answering questions.
One was presented to him in writing
before he began to talk. 1t was:
e "Will 3-cent fare impair the service
and reduce the wages Of the street
railway employees
~" The mayor replied in the negative.
He said that improvements in machin-
cry render it possible now to carry
passengers for 8 cents at greater
profit than could be made from a D.
cent fare five years ago. He said that
the large motors greatly increased the
number of passengers that could be
carried by each car under the care of
two men. Wages, he declared, made
up more than half the total expense
of conducting a street railroad, and
the more passengers who could be
cared for by two men the less were the
operating expenses of the company.
He explained that as the fare was
reduced people would ride for shorter
distances and ride oftener. and point
ed to- instances In the past history of
Cleveland street railroads when the
reduction of fare had caused an In
crease in profit to the company. Mr..
johnson admitted that there Is q
point below which passengers could
not be carried with profit, but insist
ed that this point was below 8 cents.

Nothing has been done toward the

Mrs. Kate b. Aultman. The women
to whom the trust has been assigned
are anxious to begin the work as soon
as possible, but the amount of money
they receive is contingent upon how
the estate turns out after all other be-
quests have been paid. A specific
amount has been given and then what
ever is left over after all the other

months he will be able to pay all

of Mrs. Aultman. g.
This home was her pet scheme and
she selected those to carry out her

kind of charitable work II has been
reported that the Auitman home on
North Market street would be utilized
for the home, but there has been no
provision for this either in the deed
or the will. 1t is thought that this

secured so toward an endowment fund

TO RESTRAIN SALE.
The First National Workingmen's
Building and Loan association of
Canton has taken out an injunction in
common pleas court against the Ohio
Steam Pump company to restrain it
from selling some of it's real estate.
The petition sets forth that the
| plaintiff has a mortgage upon the
pump plant for $4,000, which en-
braces five lots and the buildings and
such machinery as is set in masonry
foundations. 1t is alleged that the
Pump company is about to sell por-
tion of this property, ana that IL 1t
does so there will not be sufficient
left to pay the mortgage, and for that
reason the injunction is asked.
The court allowed a temporary in
junction. which the plaintiff asks to be
made perpetual when the case is f.
nally heard. p. j, Collins Is attorney
for the plaintiff.

Estate Left Him by Captain
 Thomas G. COrbin.
Governor Jelks and Attorney Gen. eral Brown Are in Correspond ence With Pennsylvania Off, cials to Effect Settle
 ment.

It developed yesterday that Governor w. D. Jelks and Hon. Charles G. Brown. Attorney General of Alabama. are quiet ly at work. endeavoring to collect the claim of the State of Alabama against Frank C. Randolph, formerly Judge Of Probate of Montgomery County. Judge Randolph is one of the heirs of large estate in Philadelphia and the State off cials hope to secure a settlement of the State debt from this estate.
 In official circles there is a strong feel ing of confidence that the State will se- cure from the Pennsylvania estate the money to liquidate the balance due by Judge Randolph.
 The settlement of the estate has been held up at the instance and upon the representation of the Alabama officials. It is understood that the Philadelphia prop erty will not be divided among the heirs until January 1, 1908, in order that proofs of the claim of the State of Alabama against Judge Randolph may be prepared and filed.
 The estate in question is that of Cap tain Thomas G. Corbin, a retired officer of the United States navy who died in testate. Its value has been placed al sSGO 900. The estate, it is said, will be divided into five parts. Judge Randolph

Hudson Maxim Predicts the End of
 Their Usefulness in Warfare.

Hudson Maxim. in Chicago Chronicle.
 If the United States were at war with any foreign power today. our ships and our army could successfully penetrate with high explosives the stoutest arma- ment of the enemy. On the other hand, the projectiles of no other army or navy thick armor. The best that has yet been accomplished abroad is to shoot lyddite into four inches of steel. Maximite, the new high explosive invented by the writer, and which has been adopted by the United States Government. will pene- trate any armor. and it would seem it is destined to play an important, if not a revolutionary, part in future warfares.
 There is very little doubt in the minds of naval architects and scientists gener- ally that the heavy armor-clad vessel must go and be replaced by some form of craft which shall embody in the high est degree great speed and ease of man agement with the most powerful weapons for the destruction of the warships and Notifications of the enemy.
 With the advent of Ericsson's Monitor and the Confederate Merrimac armored protection for war vessels had it's real birth, and the conflict between those two ironsides sounded the death knell of all the worlds wooden warships. The Mer- rimac, when il destroyed the wooden ships of the Federal fleet at Hampden roads. but repeated the lesson of the ar mored Roman soldier hewing down the naked barbarans of the north.
 Since the American civil war there has been a race for supremacy between guns and armor plate. between penetration and resistance, between offense and defense, and the gun has won. So rapid and com plete has been the transformation we can hardly realize that all the mighty armaments of the present time are but the work of more than thirty-five years
 It has always been received as a truism that if a high explosive could be pro- duced sufficiently insensitive to enable it's employment as bursting charge for armor- piercing projsctiles, and if high explosive of the power of ordinary dy- namite could be successfully fired through armor plate carried through by a shell which would withstand the impact. then explode on the inside of a warship the victory of the gun would be complete This problem has been solved by the in. ! with a proposed torpedo cruiser. designed

Opelika. Aug. 7.-(Special. )-The follow ing address has been issued by the chair man of the Jelks Campaign Committee for Leo County.
 Monday. August 25, occurs one of the most important elections. ever held in Alabama. It is one that deeply and vitally affects every white man in the Stat". Our homes. our firesides and the best interest of our families are involved. The future of our civilization will largely depeni on the result of the contest in which we are now engaged. At the close of the war. when thousands of our best and bravest men had been shot to death in defense of Southern rights. and mill lions ot dollars of our property destroyed. Alatama was readmitted to the Union. Then came all the infamous horrors of re- conStruction. and to still further morttry and humiliate Southern white men, Northern Republicans. at the point of Federal bayonets. conferred the right of suffrage on ignorant, corn-fleld negroes, attempting to put them on an equality with the remnant of the gallant band lowed where dauntless Stonewali led. For over thirty years the white men of Alabama have been struggling with this infamous outrage, and last November, they rose in their might and jesty. lighted a great wrong and disfranchised the ignorant, purchasable. negro vote over the bitter opposition of Joseph F. Johnston. He was the most deadly and

 We must judge a man by his record. Actions speak louder than words. If you favor white supremacy and the new con- stitution vote against him. It is not wha: he will do, but what he has done that should make every white man fear him. Alabama today is white State and Lee is a white county.
 Out of 175.000 registered voters in the State less than 2,000 are negroes. Out of 2,3S2 registered in Lee County four are negroes and these cannot vote.
 Had Johnston been successful every negro in Lee County could' vote and the blackest one of them would be on a poll tical equality with you today. We have had a desperate struggle on this question and we cannot aorffd to surrender our glorious victory.
 Stand by your principles and convic- tiong Rally around the white mans flag. That glorious flag in this contest is carriei by Governor William D. Jeiks. Every act of his administration-one of the bes: Alabama has ever had-has been for white supremacy and the new consti- tuition.
 Go to the polls and do your duty as white men. Johnston's record is known.

JELKS MEN ARE BUSY
INTEREST IN MONTGOMERY
 COUNTY IS QUICKENING.
Both Campaign Managers Are at Work But Chairman Teasley Says Chief Interest is in
 Governors Majority.

The work of the Jelks Campaign Com mittee in Montgomery County, following the announcement of the personnel Of the county committee became more aggres- sive and vigorous. There was percep- tible quickening of political interest in Montgomery.
 The members of the committee had been working quietly, but effectively for the past month. The situation had been thoroughly canvassed and the places where work for Governor Jelks was need ed had been marked out and located. The committee now finds it's work ut out for it and themembers have taken up their task actively and with energy.
 The work of organizing the Jelks Club goes steadily on and the prom oters say that they are meeting with great encour- agement The date for the formal or ganization meeting of the club, at which there will be a big political rally, ad- dressed by some eloquent speaker of State reputation, has not yet hoen nxeo but it will probably take place some night in next week.
 Chairman Teasley of the Jelks Cam paign Committee said yesterday:
 Tn Montgomery County, the result Of the primary is only question Of ma jority for Jelks. The supporters or ex- Governor Johnston realize this and their entire campaign is an eoffrt to keep down the majority. We are daily receiving reports from all sections of the county and reports are uniformly encouraging
 While Chairman Bibb Graves or the Johnston committe has made no an nouncement as to the personnel or ms committee it is understood that a large number of the members of the committee have been selected and they are quietly at work.
 Hon. Terry Richardson of Montgomery will speak tomorrow morning at Pinck- ard in support of the candidacy of Gov ernor Jelks.

 The effort to secure for the State the remaining amount was begun by Cover nor Jelks He learned of the death of Captain Corbin and of the fact that Judge Randolph was one of his heirs. Ihe Governor called the attention of Attor- ney General Brown to the matter. The latter immediately went actively but quietly to work to secure the settlement
