His death was discovered yesterday morning shortly after o'clock. His clenched fists and attacked the nervous organization of the man.
 The decision of City Physician Greil IS was that Roy died iron rom acute Sc aleoh3l- and consistent drinker. for years. and his debauches werS of such duration that he was finally picked up on the banks of the river in a pitiable state and taken to the police station on a charge of vagrancy.
 When his cell door was opened yes terday morning that he might receive his portion of the prison fare. the pie ture was one well calculated to cause revolt in the heart of man at the pos sible horrors of drink.
 The emaciated figure lay upon the contortion. The glassy eyes started from the sunken sockets. The un- kempt hair was matted over a pAllid forehead cheeks were blanched with fear. of the imaginary horrors that must have danced before the diseased fancy of the victim. The hands were clinched as if to fight off the grotesque monsters anu lne legs were OTdWu up as if to avoid nearer contact.
 But sad as was this scene of strong man robbed of his vitality and very life by demon rum there Is another which fate strangely enough has fur nished as a darker background for the picture. Out in West End there is a home around which child labor bill has not thrown its protecting in fuences, for there the. lives of several small children are being offered upon the altar of mans greed. These are the offspring of this man whose weak ness brought him tc an untimely end.
 There are ten children, all. with the exception of two, struggling with their widowed mother for existence by their daily toll in the cotton mill.

TAFT STRONG
 IN THE SOUTH So Think His Campaign
 Managers. A STRAW VOTE IS TAKEN War Secretary Receives Over Half
 of Entire Ballots. Recezt Developments, Which show That ForakeR Is Not So Strong
 With the Negroes, PIeases Taft Forces.
STRAW VOTE IS TAKEN
BY U. R. HORNADY.

sColumbus. Ohio, Sopt. 21--(Specia1.) )- The men behind the Taft Presidential boom in Ohio are delighted with the apparent strength of the Secretary of War in the Southern States, as shown by the straw vote of a Chicago news paper. Out of 607 ballots, 358 were favorable to Taft, and his friends take this to mean that the South is lining up strong behind the Ohioan. Fair banks. whose followers have for some time been more or less active in the South, received but fifty-one straw votes, while Foraker. landed forty-two, Hughes. forty-eight and Cannon, twen- ty-seven.
 Reports received at the Taft head quarters in this city indicate that the straw vote" gives a pretty good in- dex to the situation in the South, where the Republican machines are for the most part in the hands of administra- tfon men and are, therefore, supposed to be working in behalf of Taft, the administration candidate.
 The Taft forces have also been com. forted by recent developments which tend to show that the negroes are not going to be as troublesome as was at first thought. The way they threw Foraker down in this city has had a wonderfully cheering effect, and 1t ja confidently believed that they will also forsake him in the Cleveland fight. If the negroes WILL not stand by Foraker in municipal contests, 1t is argued. there is no reason to believe they will stick to him in the State and National contest At the same time. powerful efforts are being made to placate the colored brother and it is hoped and believed by the Taft managers that this element will be in line when the time comes for the election of delegates.
 There is, of course, much rejoicing among the Taftites over the various and sundry lambasting administered to Foraker of late. Every blow dealt the belligerent Ohio Senator is instantly re- ported to headquarters and the cheer ful information is kept going on as 1t will serve to damage that gentle mans political fences, The latest handful of hair yanked from the For aker political head was pulled out by the bakers at the meeting of the na- tional organization in Chicago. In formation has reached the Taft head quarters that the position of Foraker on ths pure food law was the subject of criticism before this body.
 Foraker. however, is not abashed by these things, so far as outward in dications go. He has practically a cinch on the Senatorial job, unless the Democrats wrest the State from the Republicans at the approaching elec- tion, and he is credited with knowing
