FARMERS AGAINST THE CANAL.
ChautauQua County Convention Opposes
the GlOI 900 600 Scheme.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Sept. 22.-At mass
meeting of Chautauqua county farmers
held here this afternoon to oppose canal
enlargement, vigorous address was made
by j. Samuel Fowler, and these resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas we, the citizens of Chautauqua
county In convention assembled believe
that the best interests OF the people OF the
State of New York demand the defeat of
the proposed appropriation OF the enormous
sum of SOL 900. 900 for the purpose of building
a 900 ton. barge canal from Buffalo to Albany.
Resoired. That we shall do all within our
power in legitimate way toward the ac-
complshing Of this purpose.
Whereas we believe that the expenditure
of this large sum for such a purpose would
so burden the taxpayers of this State that
we would feel the distressing effect for many
years thus precluding the possibility of
securing needed appropriations for many
worthy objects. and we believe it is our duty
to not only cast our ballots against such
appropriation. but to urge others to do the
same,
Resolrcd That we hereby empower a
campaign committee composed OF repre-
sentative citizens in every city and town in
Chautauaua county to represent us In doing
their utmost to see that the voters OF
the county irrespective OF political party.
come to the polls in their respective election
districts and cast their ballots against the
unjust and unwise measure.

in l773. when he covered the distance Of 1914

interesting diary. however, discloses the fact
that nc not only came within an ace of losing
the match, but it was only by exercising the

SALOON MEN .ANTI-REPUBLICAN
Resolve to Work For Democratic Legis-
lature.

HesOINe 10 WOrh rOr hchOeTs'U AeSis-
Iature.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y. Sept. 22,-The
annual report of President Hugh Dolan Of
the Wine, Liquor and Beer Dealers Assoc
citation Of the State OF New York, read
to-day, had this to say OF the 50 per cent
increase in the tax on retailers:
without word of warning or the slightest
excuse for such action the party in power
in the State. acting upon the advice and urgent
nsstence of the Govcrnorof their own choice.
signalized their absolute control of the Legis-
lature by fpacting law. amendatory OF the
Raines law, increasing the retailers tax
for the conduct of his business by so per
cent.
There was no reason for imposing this
increased exaction upon our already griev-
ously overhalrdened trade, nor was there any
popular demand for it.
just at that point, however, the Governor
entered the field as most influential factor.
Former Legislatures. actuated by patriotic
motives, sought the reduction OF general
taxation to Il point where it was no longer
burdensome nor the occasion of any clamor
But right there Gov. Odell conceived the
s w ,S aect mobodS bas the liquor d
no other source, while its financial bene-
fits would inure exclusively TO- the, benefit
OF the Republican party which only could
enact it. And 80 the vast power ana IN
fiuence of his exalted office were brought INTO
operation to secure the passage OF such
law despite the best efforts OF your president
and your legislative committee to defeat it.
The report refers to the hitherto nom
partisan attitude of the State association
and then continues.
But submit to you that this hostile action
Of the last Republican Governor and Legis-
lature absolves us from further relations,
direct or indirect. We can. in honor, treat
them as political enemies. and We cannot
adopt that policy any too soon.
Lengthy resolutions were adopted in
dorsing the Presidents report, and saying:
That the experience Of the last winter at
Albany shows that we can no longer maintain
a non partisan relationship to the Republic
can party, which, on that occasion under the
direction of its chief in this State and sup
Legislature, deliberately anita gonized lis.
and by it's enactment Of the liquor tax propo-
sition intentionally notified us that they no
longer wanted our political influence or sup
port either directly or indirectly.
Rosoircd. That We appeal to every liquor
merchant in the State, whether Il member OF
our association or not, to use his vote at the
coming election and whatever influence ne
can command for the defeat Of any. and all
Republican candidates for the Legislature,
and to secure by all Legitimate means the
experience has taught us we can ever re- y
upon as friends commonly committed TO
those principles of popular liberty ana equal
rights so dear TO us all.

Day Was Going Against Time for
Five Miles in Racing Automobile.
On the Last Mile When Accident
Occurred-Many Women Saw Dare

The Machine Was Totally De-
strOyed-Cause of Accident.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 12.-Frank
Day, formerly of California, but of
late living in Detroit, was killed in
an automobile accident at the State
Fair Grounds late this afternoon, while
driving Barney Oldfield's record break
ing machine in a five mile race against
time.
Day had covered just about four
miles of the distance when upon reach
ing the head of the home stretch the
powerful machine swerved, ran into
the fence and toppled over. AS the
machine upset Day received terrific
knock on the back of the head which
rendered him unconscious and he lay
on the track without moving a mus
Gle.
The PROSTATE form was quickly re-
moved and medical aid summoned, but
the injured man died in fifteen min
utes after he was struck. He did not
regain consciousness.
The accident was witnessed by 5000
persons, among whom were many Wom-
en-. Several of the women tainted.
The automobile was running at about
a mile a minute when the accident oc-
CURED. The machine is total
wreck.
The accident came so quickly no one
is able to explain it's cause. The the
ory of machine owners is that the track
was in bad condition, and that the
wheels struck post, throwing the hap
less chauffeur, mangled and dying to the
ground.
Some of the spectators who went over
the ground carefully held the theory
that the right front tire became loose
as the machine rounded at the curve.
They say the tire came off, and the dis
abled wheel plowed a furrow three
inches deep for eight feet in the smooth
surface of the track and then turned n
somersault, crushing Day and alight-
ing right side up, smashing the fence
for a distance of twelve feet.
The machine took its fatal leap a
short distance west of the curve at the
! three quarters post, a portion of the
track that the automobile men de-
| clare is dangerous. Attention wa:
called tor the condition of the track By
Edward Huff, the expert chauffeur, who
rode Friday afternoon. Huff refused
to take the machine on the track to-

Beckham's PardOninG Weakness
Scored by Republican Candidate.
Munfordville, Ky, Sept. 12.-In the
presence of several thousand people the
Republican state campaign was open
ed here to-day by Col. Morris b. Belk-
nap, candidate for Governor. Col.
Belknaps speech dealt mainly with the
pardon record of Gov. Beckham, which
he asserted was largely responsible for
the lawless conditions prevailing in
Breathitt and other counties.
Referring to one of the more noted
of the Breathitt county pardons, Col.
Bel<nap said:
perhaps Raleigh was innocent of
having voted any other than the DEM
ocratic ticket. Raleigh was the man
convicted of killing a little girl in
Breathitt county. and who was par
doned by Mr.. Beckham. Your Govern
or, by pardoning this miscreant, has
shown that he thinks the brute who
would Improperly accost' your daugh-
ters and then shoot them like dogs was
fit, after a few years punishment, to
enjoy the full privileges of citizenship
THE table of pardons granted dur
ing the last three administrations shows
that at least 1.125 convicts have been
set free in eleven years. Those paroled
and not counted would easily carry the
number to 1000.
"Mr. Beckham has asked me in the
event of my election If l would pardon
! Howard or Powers. or either of them.
l answer in the words of Lord Coke:
| When the case happens l shall do that
which shall be fit for a judge to do. "

UNION BEING SUED.
Connecticut Hat Manufacturing
Concern Claims Big Damages.

Connecticut Hat Manufacturing
Concern Claims Big Damages.
Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 12.-In the
United States District Court to-day
D. f. Loewe & Co., of Danbury, hat
manufacturers instituted suit against
the national officers of the American
Federation of Labor, the national of
ficers of the United Hatters of North
America and against $50 members OF
these organizations, residents of Dam
bury who were formerly in the en-
ploy of the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs allege that because
they refused to employ only union
labor in their factory, upon demand
of the union in 1901, their goods were
boycotted both in the United States
and in Canada, and in 1902 the union
men employed by the plaintiffs were
called out on strike. Damages of
$240 900 are asked for under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The plaintiffs claim further that
the trade mark of the United Hat
tiers of North America is employed
by the defendants to further the sale
of hats made by union labor to the
detriment of the employers of non
union hatters, and that the journals
of the American Federation of Labor
and of the United Hatters of
North America have been used to de-
nounce goods of Loewe & Co.
A similar suit has been instituted
in the Superior Court of Fairfield
county against the same parties. In
this suit damages of 100000 are
claimed and an Injunction restraining
the defendants from prosecuting the
boycott is sought

Newport News, Va, Sept. 1.-THE
United States, $4,000 ton armored
cruiser Maryland was launched at the
yard of the Newport News Shipbuild
ing Company to-day. An unimpor
tant accident attended the launching,
marring, but little, however, the sue
cess of the event.
The intensity of the sun rays
caused the melting of the tallow with
which the ways were creased and the
big keel instead of gliding evenly
down to the water, chung to her
cradle. When she was finally releas-
ed the warship dipped her stern heav-
lily, and grounded in the mud.
The ship was so skilfully handled
by the experts in charge of the work
that no injury was sustained by the
Maryland. The cruiser will probably
be safely af1Oat in the morning.
More than 10000 people witnessed
the Launching. Miss Jennie Scott
Waters, Of Baltimore. was the ships
sponsor. The ceremonies were brief
and simple. Il christen thee Mary

bottle of champagne as the ship
started down the ways.

crate post launching luncheon was
held, Gov. Smith, of Maryland and
