Then when Attorney Wertz, Tor Captain
Taggart, offered the signed statement OF
Charles Huiburd Of Chicago. Mrs. Taggart's
business agent. the alimony question was
mentioned for the first time. Smyser, for tho
defense, assumed that Mrs. Taggart might
ask for aiimony. because the agents state.

ser argued that Mrs. Taggart could not be
ordered to pay the captain aiimony, as It
was not specifically mentioned in the plead

THE DENVER BANK RUN
300 DEPOSITORs WERE IN LINE
THIS MORNING.

DENVER. Col. August 0.-The run on
the Denver Savings Bank which began
yesterday was resumed today There were
about 300 people in line when the bank
opened at 10 o'clock. The bank continued
paying 10 per cent of deposits.
Vice President F. p Jones made the fol-
lowing announcement:
The public is assured. on the honor of
the management of this bank, that there
Is absolutely no occasion for any uneasi-
ness as to the banks condition.
The Denver Savings Bank has cash on
hand to pay to it's depositors every cent
due on commercial deposits, and all that
the savings depositors can call for up to
the full limit"
Up to IL o'clock no statement was made

yesterday afternoon. With the addition of
the nine cases from the Freedmen's Hospi-
tai 1t would seem that there are thirteen
new cases to be added to today's totals.
Officially there only III cases under
treatment, the discrepancy between this
figure and previous totals published being
shown in the number of deaths-twenty-
two-which. added to the number under
treatment. shows the same official totals
as is contained in the health ONCE record
of cases reported since July 1. namely, 1919.
Since January 1. 1905, there have been 361
cases reported. as compared with 1896 during
the same period last year. Last year at
this time there were 1874 cases under treat
ment. Between July and August o, 1904.
there were eighteen deaths, or four less
than this year.
Whether a greater spread Of typhoid Is
to be feared this year than last year can
not even be surmised by the health officer
because 1t cannot be told until afterward.
when the epidemic will have reached its
maximum. Last year this maximum was
reached on September 25 when a total Of
~ cases were under treatment, but for a
considerable period, both before and after
that date more than $50 patients were con-
tinuouusly under treatment for the disease
SO far this year the ratio of increase has
been greater than 1t was in 1904.
-Four recoveries yesterday, about the
same number today, and one death are to
be balanced against the total increase for
the last two days.

PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS
MUST BE STARTED OUTSIDE THE
CANDIDATES STATE.

That "a candidate Is not without pros
pect save in his own state" Is political
adaptation Of an old saying which many Of
the presidential aspirants are beginning to
take home unto themselves. All Of the men
who are popularity credited with having
presidential boomiets are looking elsewhere
than to their home shires for field where
in to fly their kites. There are reasons for
II in some cases.
Secretary Shaw. for example. goes to Vir-
ginia for a favoring broeze. Virginia has
twenty-four votes in q national convention
of republicans. Press reports indicate that
Secretary Shaw had good flyer with his
presidential kite. II Mr.. Shaw had at
tempted 1t in his own state Governor Cum
mings might have cut the string and some
ether wicked lowans might have thrown
rocks at its delicate structure The theory
is that when Iowa sees the acclaim which
greets her son in other communities she
may be prouder of him thaa she might be
with the claims of other sons clamoring in
her ears
vice President Fairbanks apparently will
have to fall upon Indiana like a thousand
o brick with showing of force from other
states before he can make all impression
upon the jealous Hoosierites and cause them
to acknowledge his rising sun as he sees
1t on the political horizon. There Is no
question that he must look beyond the bor-
ders of his own state for start. His I'M
friends are after him in determined fash
ion. So he goes to North Carolina. to Ore
son, Washington and Michigan to talk over
the questions of the day with the men who
will elect delegates to the nsxt republican
national convention.
Senator Foraker will have 10 dig out of
Ohio and hustle up some influence some
where else before he can get his boomlet
on the wings Of favoring gale. The Dick
men are sitting up O. nights with search-
lights to watch for the first sign Of that
Foraker kite. They will try to fill 1t so
full of holes that it won't contain a cap
full of breeze. Senator Foraker has not
sprung his campaign yet, but his friends
say he is not asleep.
Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois does not worry
about his state. Just at present there Is
no republican in Illinois who has the te-
merity to stack up his pile of chips against
Mr. Cannos and wager them on one dash
out of the box. Mr.. Cannon thinks Illinois
is safe and will come up when the time
arrives, SO he is not exertfng himself much
in other sections.
If Mr.. Root determines to enter the lists
he will have to get his start outside OF
New York. The factional troubles among
the republicans of New York are SO In
tense that a presidential candidate will
have to make very fine showing OF out
side strength before he can expect 10 get
New York at his back. He will have to
show the New Workers there Is something
in IL.

Trying to Settle Differences Regarding

Interest In official quarters Is manifested
In the negotiations that are in progress be-
tween the Chinese government and the
American owners of the Canton and Han
kow railroad in China The United States
government is simply using Its good Offices
to bring about satisfactory settlement of
the dispute between the Chinese govern
ment and the railroad. The concession
specified that the ownership of the road
should continue In the hands of Americans
Subsequently Belgian interests purchased a
majority OF the stock of the road and the
Chinese government asserted that that was
violation of the terms of the concession.
The American owners then bought back
enough stock to give them a controlling in
terest. Ii Is now the contention of the Chi
nese government that as only short dis
stance Of road has been built. the conces-
sion has been practically forfeited. The re-
cent conferences at Oyster Bay were for the
purpose of adjusting these differences.
