TAFT SPEAKS IN KENTUCKY
Heir Apparent Opens Republican
State Campaign and Discus
ses Race Problem.

Lexington, Ky. Aug. 22.-With a discus
sion of the race problem, general political
issues from the southern standpoint and
an appeal to Kentuckians and other
southerners to come to the aid of the Re
publican party in support of those prin-
ciples which he believed they favored,
Secretary of War William II. Taft today
opened the Republican state campaign in
this city, calling attention to what he
called the sOuJhs lack of representation
in the councils Of the nation. He declared
that this was true because one single issue
has made ii the perpetual tail of the Dem
ocratic party so that however small the
northern head, IL wags that tail. The
south has permitted the shadows of an
issue that circumstances ought long ago
TO have removed from any political con-
troversy to bind it sOlidly to the Demo-
cratic party. 70 matter what principles or
candidates that party has adopted. He
called attention to the prosperity of Ken
tucky's developing industries and agri-
cultural wealth and expressed the belief
that many KentuCkians who favored a
protective tariff had blindly voted the
Democratic ticket because of the feeling

Now they swarm there. One of the orig
inal trio was the Red Woman of Sa-

GOLD DUST IN MAIL POUCH
Alaska Robbers Reaping a Rich Har-
vest-Third Haul Inside Of
Thirty DAYS.

Portland, Ore. Aug PA special to
the Oregonian from Seattle says: What
is believed to be the biggest plot for rob
ing the United States mails ever discov-
cred is now in operation in Alaska. Only
yesterday word was received from the
coast that the third pouch missing in a
month has been reported at Skagway.
The sack contained Si5000 in gold dust
addressed to Seattle banks.
Postoffice inspectors already in the
north working on two former TObberies
have taken up the latest loss. 1t is al
most certain that the sacks were stolen
in transit on the Yukon river boats be
tween this point and Dawson.
Several men are under suspicion but
no arrests have been made.
Ever sinCe-gOld dust shippers decided to
use the mails in sending out the precious
metal instead of patronizing the express
companies as previously. because of in
creased tariff, trouble has existed. The
change necessitates the employment Of
guards by the government to watch the

NEGLIGENCE Of
THE DIRECTORS
Cashier Morris Not Alone to
Blame for Failure of Port
land Savings Bank.

Portland Ore, Aug. 22-The charge was
freely made today in connection with the
failure of the Oregon Trust and Savings
bank that certain officials of the company
let it become known to friends that the
bank was in bad shape and partial sub
sanitation of the report was in the al
legged fact that $4,000 in deposits were
withdrawn from the institution Monday
and Tuesday. Reports bearing upon al
legged questionable business methods of
the management aroused great indigna-
ton among 1900 depOsitors who were on
the concern s books, and demands for the
arrest of certain officials Of the bank to-
day led to the preparation of complaints
by the district attorneys office. War
rants. however, have not been issued
pending further investigation.
The failure of the bank caused conster-
nation among thousands of poor people
whose savings were deposited therein, and
a mass meeting of the unfortunateS was
called to devise ways and means for mu-
tual protection of their interests.
Many of the employees of the bank have
been discharged, only a sufficient number
being retained to assist Receiver Devlin
in handling the affairs of the concern.
While some of the directors freely
charge Cashier w. Cooper Morris with
violating banking rules in buying huge
blocks of bon Is and lOaning money to en-
terprises in which he is alleged to have
been interested, other bankers declare
that nothing but gross, II not criminal
negligence on the part of the directors
could have made such manipulation of de-
positors' money possible. Friends of Nor
ris warmly defend mis- course. The asser-
ton is openly made that the directors
were not kept in the dark regarding any
alleged questionable enterprises of the
cashier.
1t is understood Morris is now en- route
from the east where he went to dispose
of large blocks of securities in an en-
deavor to place the bank upon its feet
Receiver Deylin expressed the belief to-
day that depOsitors will be paid in full

GATES CLOSED

mer here, believes that the increase of
wealth in America is far surprising the
spread of religion The thoughtful man is
invited to carry the theory to its logical
conclusion for himself. His eminence. a
prince of the Holy Roman church, as well
as of the realm of thought, will go no fur

With his keen, far-seeing eyes looking
into the future, he said yesterday after
noon
The man of wealth no longer seeks the
kingdom of God. He finds his kingdom
and the joys thereof on this earth -

some rich men who are pious and devout

they heed not the hereafter They are
blinded to the truth"
1t is to the poor and the lowIy, Cardinal
Gibbons went on to say, that the church
looks for the maintenance of the true
