BOB. TAYLOR SAYS
 FIGHT IS COMING
SENATOR DECLARES STATES MUST ASSERT THEM SELVES AGAINST ENCROACH- MENT OF THE RAILROADS.

Chattanooga. August LA special to the Times from Lincoln, Neb., says:
 Tonight while seated in the home of William J. Bryan, Senator Bob Taylor de- clared that Bryan was the choice of the democracy of Tennessee and of the south, and that it was a foregone conclusion that he would be nominated next year. He de- 'elared that the national government had been steadily encroaching upon rights of states and denounced the action of Judge Pritchard in North Carolina in vigor ,uS trems.
 But what's the use to prate about state sovereignty?" he asked. Tt passed long ago on the field of glory at Appomattox. Whats the use to hold up our constitu- ton as a chart of safety? There Is but one way to restore the equilibrium 1t must be done at the ballot box"
 He said democracy stood for putting the bit in the mouth of aggregated capital, a thorough overhauling of the robber tariff system, and said the country needed a man who would treat officials of corpor- ations who violate the law the same as he would the humblest citizen-not by fin- ing them. put by giving the ma free pass to prison.
 'The struggle Is coming in the voluu- teer state," said Mr. Taylor. Tt will be fercer and more vigorous than ever. Ger tain railroads are up to their eyes in pol tiles in Tennessee and are striving to con- trol it's policies and to dictate its nomi- nees We have a national law prohibit ing free passes, but that law does not pro- hibit it in Tennessee, and the railroads are showering free passes everywhere over the state, and it Is all for political req gons'

YOUNG MAN INJURED
 IN FRATERNITY HAVING

Montgomery, Aug. 1.-(Special.) bitterly miserable in body and in mind from haz- ing practiced on him by the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn, young Cor don McGehee of this city returned home after a few days stay at the college.
 As a result of the pranks inflicted upon him by the Greek letter men, whom he joined, McGehee is severely injured in the chest three front teeth hay been forcd up-into his gums and he is other wise bruised. His injuries necessltated the services of physician and a dentist.
 The incident of the young mans entry into college life as a freshman, he says, occurred Tuesday night, when he was about to be initiated into the mysteries of the fraternity. He was met by frat. committee for escort to the club house. On the journey to the club he was sud- denly seized his hands were tied behind him and he was blindfolded and ordered to run, so he claims.

THE MAN OF MODERATE MEANS
Sets Forth Briefly Why, Though Poor,
 He Travels In Parlor Cars

From tho Washington Post.
 No" said the man of moderate means, "1 don't take a parlor car when I travel because the fine cars are more strongly built, and so safer, nor do I take 1t to avoid the crowd, for l don't think Pm any better nan anybody else, and, as matter of fact. l might not find any better company in a parlor car than would find in a. sit-up; and a strong req son for my not taking parlor car would be found in my limited resources. which would prompt me always to take an or dinary eoach but really take 2. seat in a parlor car simply to avoid beilg crowd ed It is like this:
 When l rode in the sit-ups IS I used to do, I always got to the station early, so that l could get seat in Il e middle of car and a place by the window, where l could lean my elbow on the win- dow sill and look out of the window com fortably. Then, having thus secured the best seat in if, I watched the car fill up, always with the hope that 1t would turn out that I might keep that seat all to my self but always in more or less trepida tion or fear, not so much that somebody would want to sit with ne, as that per son would be somebody, who was very, very stout; for I am in body, like my purse, rather lean, and so l leave beside me in the seat a considerable vacant space, which is likely to prove attractive to persons of generous dimensions.
 50. when l caught q glimpse of q stout person coming along the aisle and I saw that stout person pass me by looking for a seat alone was grateful, and I thought to myself there's a chance for me yet: but more often this stout person would pause at my seat and look at me and say:
 Is this seat taken?' and ], as in honor bound, would reply:
 No, sir or No, madame, as the case might be, and then the stout person would prepare to crowd in. The bulky gentle

Labor Candidate Elected.

London, August 1.-The by election for a member of parliament for the Northwest division of Staffordshire has resulted in the return of Albert Stan ley, liberal labor candidate, with the substantial majority of 2349 over the unionist candidate.

FATE OF AERONAUTS.
Bodies of Officers Found Floating In
 the Baltic Sea.

St. Petersburg, August 1.-The body of another officer who went up In the mil itary balloon from the aeronautic park at Tsarskoe-Celo July 1s, has been picked up at sea. There were four officers in the balloon when it ascended. Four days later the balloon itself was found empty and waterlogged at sea and one body was found floating in the Gulf of Finland on July 25. Evidence in the possession of General Kovauk, in command at the aeronautic park, shows that the four of ficers drew lots and successively threw themselves from the balloon into the wa ter in order to reduce the weight of the airship and keep it up as long as possible. This explains why the bodies are being picked up so far apart.

Alias Was Ills Real Name.
From Law Notes.

In the South Orange, N. J., police court recently a prisoner on being asked his name responded, Alias Shaheen."
 Aliases don't so in this court" said Justice Roll. with some asperity. "What's $ your real name?'
 Alias Shaheen," reiterated the ac- cused.
 Of course no police justice would ever submit tamely to such foolishness as that, and the offender was standing face to face with trouble when a police officer explained taht he was d Syrian and told the literal truth about his name. Much modified, Justice Roll extracted & from Alias for peddling towels without a license and allowed him to go on his way rejoicing.

He ran and fell violently to the ground, injurng his chest seriously, and sustain ing bodily bruises.
 In intense pain, he was ordered to run again. He fell over an object apparently placed in his path. Three of his teeth were knocked into his gums, completely severing the nerves. Finally discovering that McGehee was in a serious conflson. the hazers carried him to physician and later to a dentist for attention.
 Thinking the rough treatment was regu- lar, McGehee did not complain to the col lege authorities, but wrote to his broth ers who directed him to come home im- mediately.
 A called meeting of Montgomery alumni chapter of the fraternity was held this afternoon and it was decided to demand a rigid investigation. The matter will be taken up with head officers os the fra ternity and with the trustees of the in stitution.

BOY FALLS 400 FEET.
Youthful Aeronaut's Balloon Bursts.
But Canvas Acts As Parachute.

Greenville, Ohio (Special) Earl
Hess, boy aeronaut, escaped death
seemingly by miracle, when his big
Knabenshue balloon burst 400 fee,
in the air, and he was precipitated to
the ground a mile and a half from
the crowd of 900 Drake County
Fair visitors, which witnessed the
plunge. The side OF the balloon rip
ped. and the airship started on
downward plunge at tremendous We
locity. The aeropaut contrived to
twist the balloon in such shape that
it formed a parachute, and he was
saved from death by the slackening
of the speed of his downward fall.
The ascent was the second of the
day. On the first descent the balloon
caught in tree near the fai'
grounds and it is supposed the silk
was rent. When the ship was 400
feet in the air and mile and a half
from the fair grounds, the bag was
seen to burst along one side: inn
mediately the ship plunged down
ward. The aeronaut could be seen
struggling and his success in turn
ing the balloon alone saved his life
