Ensy Victory for Kentucky Todd in
 TwO-Year Old Division.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 4.-The easy vic- tory of Kentucky Todd In the two- year-old division of the Kentucky Fu- turity and the defeat of Mainsheef in the 2:O6 trot were the features at the Kentucky Trotting Horse association meeting to-day. Kentucky Todd de- feated the crack New England colt Blue Hill Lucille Marlowe and others with much ease.
 Kentucky Todd is owned by Miss Katherine l.. Wilkes, of Gait, Ontario who Is the only woman to win A tro+- ting futurity and the only foreigner to win Kentucky futurity. This victory was due partly to bad breaks by Iu- cille Marlowe and Blue Hill.
 In the 2:06 trot Mainsheet was never dangerous factor. The race was be- tween Norman B. and Snyder McGree- or, and the last two heats, which were won by Norman B., resulted in the most exciting finishes ever seen here.

TRIBUTE TO BRYAN
High-Minded Says Beveridge but I'm.
 practical Ideulisf.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 4.-Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana spoke tonight to crowd which filled Oliver theater, in the interest of republican congress sional and state tickets. He paid a tribute to William J. Bryan, saying that he has no sympathy with those who abuse the democratic leader. Mir Bryan, he characterized as sincere and high minded but an impractical ideal ist. Senator Beveridge discussed the tariff revision, government ownership of railroads and Cuban annexation.
 MT. Beveridge said Tn the pulpit Mir. Bryan would have been greater and nobler Beecher In the presidents chair he would have been a more ruth less and arbitrary Johnson. But such have never been, nor ever can be, the statesmen of a people.
 Always among the people there should be the voice of protests. MT. Bryan is superbly that. He is right eous, but not right. Our radical Bry- ans and our reactionary Parkers are useful; but 1t takes a man who dreams
  even more loftily than the one, but who dreams practically. And such a man is he who in five years has got more things done for the peoples good than even MT. Bryans fertile brain ever thought of. It is just the difference be- tween the dreamer and the achiever. Both are necessary, both pure, both devoted to the republic. But one is the administrator, the other Is the ob- jector.
 Government ownership will never be an issue until the government regula- tion shall fail It will never be an is- sue until the American people them selves shall fail-never until they con fess that they can no longer manage their business and shackle their crirni- nals."

F., october 4, was the first intimation of the whereabouts of the sender and his young bride since last June when they departed on their honeymoon. The message addressed to the Philadelphia office of the Associat- ed Press conveys the intelligence in addition to the fact that MT and Mrs. Tasker are safe and well, that they have also performed the almost impos- sble feat of crossing the wastes of Labrador at Hudson bay.
 For several weeks Tasker's mother, who lives in this city, has been a nerv- ous wreck because of her failure to hear from her son and his bride. Tack CT is thirty-one years of age, He Is a marine engineer in the United States navy.
 Starting from this city four months ago the Taskers went to the Hudson bay shore at Labrador and there, or ganizing a pack train with dogs, sled and provisions, began their journey, After travelling many days they lost their way and their food supply ran short. For sustenance they were oblig- ed to kill their sledge dogs. After their last dog had been eaten they reached small settlement where they were cared for by the natives.

PRES. PALMA PLEADED
 FOR J. s. INTERVENTION
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE LEADING UP TO THIS STEP
 MADE PUPLIC.

As Early as September s the Cuban Government Had Requested the Washington Administration to Step In-President Roosevelt Very Re | Iuctant to Do So-Sent Word That Palma Must First Do Everything in | His Power to Reach Agreement With Rebels or QuelI the Uprising.
 Washington, Oct 4.-Secretary Root tonight made public the correspond ence leading up to the intervention in Cuba. The correspondence took place between Consul General Steinhardt at Havana and Acting Secretary Bacon, of the state department. An important feature developed in the dispatches was that intervention was asked by the Gu ban government as early as September s, and that as long ago as September 14 President Palma had determined to re- sign as president of the republic, and that the vice. president and cabinet ministers had also determined not to continue in office. It also shows that intervention by the United States had long been planned by the Palma gov- ernment and was communicated to the state department in a letter by Consul General Steihhardt as early as Septem- Der ,.
 The correspondence follows;

Fathered Some of Them.
 Washington, Oct. 1.-The National Association of Insurance Commissioners to-day adopted a resolution against the So-called rebate evil, from which it was stated the public had suffered even at the hands of some of the biggest conn panies' It was explained that many insurance companies run regular get rich-quick schemes under the guise of oHerlng enormous dividends that are wholly impossible of realization. It was shown that frequently some wealthy and influential man in a com mnnity is offered a secret or special contract, reducing the cost of the in- surance to him on the promise that he Will work for the company in his To- callty, It was represented that many people who take the chance of getting large dividends are induced to insure beyond their capacity to pay, but that these dividends, which, it was stated are really secret rebates, go to the rich CT members of the community. who if was alleged do not need them.
