AN EXCITING DEBATE
Tom Johnson Worsted a Leading
Republican Before a Delighted
Audience at Cleveland.

Cleveland. o.. Oct 2S.-Mayor Tom
Johnson and w. r. Hopkins. the lat
ter an attorney and eX-chairman of
the Republican county committee. de-
bated for three hours tonight in Gray's
armOry upon the respective issues
which are prominent in the pending
campaign. Four thousand people
crowded the armory and listened with
eagerness. The large stage was given
over equally 10 partisans of the re-
spective speakers. but the audience
was evidently in sympathy with the
mayor and his statements.
The conditions were that Mr. Hopkins
was free TO ask any questions that he
choose. The debate covered such ques-
tions as home rule" and lust taxa
ton" The mayors principal points
We're that the system Of taxation in
Ohio is not just TO all property owners
alike, While Mr.. Hopkins sought to
prove that under the present laws and
present circums tances the laws are as
equal as they could be.
The question whether franchises are
taxable in the state of Ohio was the
subject of warm discussion by the two
men. the mayor asserting that fran
chises, as ne understood the meaning
of the word, are taxable, while his
opponent held the contrary view, and
cited the opinion of the supreme court
judges 10 uphold him.
The difference of taxation imposed
upon small property owners and the
! larger corporations of the city and
state also took a large part Of the
/ discussion.
There were numerous Interruptions
and political cries from the supporters
/ OF both sides, but there was greater
applause when the mayor made hit
| than when his opponent did.

.FOUR-FIFTHS AT WORK
Men Being Taken on Rapidly al
the Scranton Mines-0utput
Is increasing.

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 2S.-Official figures
from the five big companies having
their main offices in Scranton show
tfat 80 per cent of their collieries are
in operation, and that their output is
now more than three-quarters of what
ii is normally.
Today's output is estimated TO be
20 600 tons, the Delaware q Hudson
company having started up the Latin
and Boston and all the companies hav-
ing put on more men. Fully so per
cent OF the old hands are now back
at work. The 20 per cent still idle in
cludes those who were employed at the
twelve places that have not yet made
a start.
Much complaint is heard at the Of
fees of the companies concerning the
idleness that will ensue tomorrow by
reason of the observance of Mitchell
day. The companies have received no
notice from the men that they will not
work tomorrow other than the an
nouncements in the newspapers of the
parade arrangements. Each company
has instructed its superintendent 20
blow the whistles as usual and work
the mines If possible. IL is almost a
certainty that the whistles will bring
no responses, as every mining ce1r4-
in the valley has arranged a Mitchell
day celebration.

VICTIM OF INJUSTICE
British Have Dropped Proceed
ings Against J. c. Taylor, AC-
cused of Enforcement.

Boston, Oct. 2S.-Joseph c. Taylor,
whose extradition for alleged embez-
element in South Africa was sought by
the British government. was freed to-
day A habeas corpus directing the
marshal to liberate the prisoner was
issued by Judge Lowell of the United
States court, who has had the case un-
der consideration for some time. The
British government has for three
months been pressing the case. The
alleged embeZZlement was committed
in 1860. The British government
claimed jurisdiction and contended that
under the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain the man could
be extradited. After consultation with
the state department, Judge Lowell
ruled that it was a question OF extra
dition between the United States and
South Africa. and that no eXtraditiOn
treaty existed.
A communication from the British
embassy at Washington has been re-
ceived directing that all action In the
Taylor prosecution should be dropped
forthwith. 1t is said that during Tay-
lor's three months in jail, on charges
which have been proved groundless, his
wife and three children were almost
driven to starvation.
