HEPBURN Is COMING
SPEAKS OF PROBABLE LEGISLA-
TON IN CONGRESS.

CLARINDA. Iowa. November 16.-Chaif-
man Hepburn Of the House committee ON
interstate and foreign commerce starts
for Washington tomorrow. Speaking to-
day Of possible congressional legislation
this winter he said:
Il regard 1t as extremely probable that
there will be enacted this winter legisla-
tion to procure the regulation Of the is
sues OF stock and bonds of corporations
doing interstate business. Certainly there
ought to be such legislation and control.
The President and the Attorney General
are satisfied that Congress has the neces-
sary power.
II also regard 1t as most desirable that
the taxing power OF the government
should be used to prevent gambling in
railway stocks by taxing all sales where
delivery Is not made within such reason
able time as to indicate that the trans
action was bona fide and not for specu-
lation. So long as there is buying and
selling on margins and without the inten-
ton Of actual delivery Of the stock spec
ulation Will absorb the resources OF the
banks and take money from legitimate
enterprises which need 1t. Stock specula-
tors pay high rates for money, and their
offers are SO attractive to the city banks
that the banks are induced to make loans
outside the channels of legitimate busi-
ness. This not only tends to involve the
banks in speculation, but IL withdraws
the money from legitimate business enter
prises.

NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN
COMEDIES HIS NOMINATION.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO. IL, November 16-Roger c.
Sullivan, democratic national committee
man. of Illinois returned from Philadel-
phia today and gave out a statement
which is interpreted as conceding William
Jennings Bryan's nomination by the dem
ocrats for President.
Mr.. Bryan is the only candidate for
President before the democratic party
that I know Of" said Mr. Sullivan so
far as l am concerned, I shall be with
whomever the democrats of Illinois want
for President
This statement issued Immediately after
a visit to the east. means that the DEM
ocratic leaders of the eastern states have
given up any thought of booming either
a southerner or Gov Johnson of NJ nne-
sofa or Gov. Folk of Missouri for Pres
ident. and that Mr.. Bryan will probably
be nominated without opposition.
1t was announced by a prominent Chi
cago democrat that both Gov. Folk and
Gov. Johnson had forbidden any further
mention of their names for President and
that while several southern newSpa pers
had followed the lead of the New York
publications that were trying to stir up
enthusiasm for a southern man, that sort
of sentiment had failed to crystalline on
any available cand date. Mr.. Bryan's an
nouncement will put stop to all tcnta-
tive southern booms according to the pre-
yailing Chicago opinion.

WOUNDS PROVE FATAL
RABID DOGS BITE CAUSES,
DEATH OF MRS. IDA SANDS.

A small scratch on the wrist made by a
ago is regarded responsible for the
death of Mrs Ida Sands. about forty
years years old. wife of H. E. Sands,
proprietor of the original Philadelphia
Oyster House. at 1924 14th street north
west. Mrs. Sands died of blood poison
ing in hospital in Baltimore early yes
terday morning, alter all efforts of the
Pasteur treatment experts in an effort to
save her life had been exhausted.
Mrs Sands body was removed from the
hospital TO the home of her parents In
Sacramento, Schuylkil county, Pa, and
the funeral will he held from that place
probably Monday.
The Newfoundland dog referred to has
been in the family for long time, and
was regarded as a great pet. About five
weeks ago. however. the animal was at
tackled on the street by vicious bulldog
and was severely bitten 1t was thought
at the time the bulldog was mad and
shortly afterward symptoms of the rabies
began to show in the Newfoundland.
Mrs. Sands was petting her dog. as
stated. about three weeks ago and she re-
ceived slight scratch on her wrist from
the dogs teeth. 1he wound seemed a
slight one at first. and little was thought
about 1t. Mr.. Sands was III in bed at
the time. and in caring for her husband
scratch on her wrist. She thought 1t
would heal UP In few days.
The dog was chloroformed shortly after
ward, the suspicion having become strong
that II was mad. and 1t developed from
the autopsy that the suspicious were en-
tirely correct
More attention was given at once to
Mrs. Sands injury. although at that time
quences course of the Pasteur treat
ment in the Baltimore hospital was de-
cided upon. To take that and still look
after her sick husband Mrs. Sands made
. trip to the Monumental city every day.
Wound Fails to Heal.
The wound. however. did not heal and
en- one OF her trips to the hospital 1t is
believed by her friends. she contracted
severe cold. and that complicated the
frouble. She became so Ill on her trip
to Baltimore last Monday that she was
unable to return to her home here and
she became a patient at the Baltimore
hospital Her condition grew rapidly
worse and her friends were told that
serious consequences might result.
Mrs Sands was visited at the hospital
by Mr.. Sands brother and his wife. who
are residents OF Baltimore. They re-
manned with her most Of the time during
the past week. and when her condition
became serious Mr.. Sands was notified.
He recovered sufficiently by Friday TO
be able TO go to Baltimore. He was told
that there We're no hopes for the recovery
OF his wife. and he remained at her bed
sire until her death early yesterday morn

forthcoming convention of one of the
great political parties of the country"
and has a weli-earned and wel,-deseryed

of American workingmen of segregating
countrymen. subjecting them to the

by Jury.
Regarded as "Wanton Affront."
1t is resolved that the American Fed

conviction that a great political party
could not more wanton,y affront and

presidency. Opposition to government by

OPPOSITION INSISTS ON MAX
ING TROUBLE ABROAD.

TOXIC, November 16.-The foreign Of
flee has notified the emigration companies
that 4O8 Japanese will be allowed to enter
Hawaii during this month and December.
1t Is understood that the government tn
tends to exercise a close supervision over
those going as students to San Francisco.
There is reason to believe that consider
able fraud had been practiced by regis
tering laborers as students. and that this
has escaped the scrutiny Of the emigra-
ton inspectors
American Ambassador OBrien has had
a conference on this subject with Minister
of Foreign Affairs Hayashi, who has is
sued most stringent instructions to the
inspectors, and 1t Is understood that fur
ther restrictions are under consideration.
The Japanese government is said to be
considering the advfsability of shutting off
all emigration to the United States and
Canada for the present on the ground
that economic conditions render 1t mad
visable for citizens of Japan to visit for
eign countries unless they are able to
show that they are amply self-supporting.
Watching Our Congress.
Among the leading statesmen and
business men, the Importance of the

arousing the Chauvfnists on account of
discrimination against Japan, which is
arording ammunition for the opposi-

view of the general election in 1908
Opposition Party.
AS an instance of the methods en-
ployed to raise the issue in behalf Of
the opposition, the Hochi organ of that
party, and supposed to represent the
views of Count Okuma, will tomor-
row contain an editorial entitled The
Deception Practiced by Diplomats" in
which 1t gives as an example the speech
OF Secretary Taft at the recent .uunici-
pal dinner In Toxic. The papers saw
that this address was nothing but a
piece of deception by which the secre-
tary sought to place himself in the
most favorable light.
The Hochi appeals to the Japanese
government to deal frankly with the
people. 1t insists that the administra- =
ton is tamely yielding to foreign DOW
erS, while at the same time CIeyerly
hiding the facts from the public of
Japan
The editorial concludes by saying that
the visit of Minister Lemiuex affords
the best opportunity of solving The i'm
migration question, once for all, if it
is frankly handled.
