Ohio In Line For Taft.
Recent developments at Cincinnati
make probable the unanimous indorse-
ment OF Secretary Taft for president
by the Republican party Of Ohio. This
was apparent from statement issued
by George Il. Cox, the Hamilton coun-
ty Republican leader, advising all Re
publicans TO support Taft for presi-
dent. Foraker for reelection to the
senate and Governor Harris to succeed
himself. Commenting on this state
ment, Senator Foraker said that IL the
advice Of Cox should meet with the APP
prevail Of the Ohio Republicans, no one
would support Secretary Taft for the
presidency more cordially than he
would. This was looked upon as Fo-
raker's withdrawal from the presiden-
tial race and means that Burton Is
eliminated frcD the senatorial contest.
Editor Taft, as the spokesman Of Sec
rotary Taft, said that Cox was evident
ly imbued with the ambition to add
another name TO the roll of presidents
from Ohio and that this plan was sat
isfactor- 10 his side. On the same day

sylvania lines west of Pittsburg con-
corning the effect of the new two
cent fare law on their business has
just been issued on behalf of the
Cleveland and Marietta, which Is en-
tirely in the state of Ohio. 1t shows
that during 1906 the passengers car
ried increased 1914 per cent and that
the number of miles travelled increased
1850, but that in. spite of this the
passenger earnings decreased $4,000,
or about 8 per cent The report hints
that before long the passenger service
will have to be curtailed II the two
cent rate remains.

Gyroscope MonoraiI Discovery.

Gyroscope Monorail Discovery.
Before a brilliant assemblage of sci
entists in London last week under the
auspices Of the Royal society Louis
Brennan. c. b., the well known in
ventor of the Brennan torpedo, gave a
demonstration with q miniature rail-
way car or locomotive running on
single rail with apparently nothing to
balance 1t, it being the first practical
application of the well known principle
of the gyroscope to railway locomo-
ton. 1t was demonstration which
foreshadowed another industrial revo-
luton, according to those who saw it.
The car, propelled by a petrol Gee
trio generating set, ran about the hall,
turned sharp corners at high speed.
crossed single strand wire cable in
lieu of bridge and climbed heavy in
clines, all with perfect stability. Some
times it was loaded and sometimes
empty, but there was no attempt to
balance the load, for the vehicle did
that Instantly and automatically. II
the load was piled on one side that
side rose IN proportion to the burden
and the empty side was depressed,
maintaining its stability whether stand
ing still or in motion.
This result was brought about by
an automatic stability mechanism Of
extreme simplicity carried by the We
hicle itself, consisting Of two fly wheels
rotated directly by electric motors In
opposite directions at high velocity
and mounted so that their gyroscopic
action and stored UP energy can be
utilized. These fly wheels are 50
mounted on fine bearings and placed
in exhausted cases, reducing air and
journal friction to minimum, that
very little power Is required to keep
them i'm motion. If the current Is cut
off. they will run at velocity sufficient
to impart stability to the vehicle for
several hours ard will not come to
rest for two or three days. The
mechanism occupies small space and
Is 5 per cent of the total load. The
wheels are placed In a single row be-
meath the center Of the car and are so
made as to permit of horizontal and
vertical curves In the track having less
radius than the length Of the vehicle
itself. thus the car can run over crook
ed rails or uneven ground without dan
ger of derailment. The motive power
may be either steam, petrol, oil, gas or
electricity. The vehicle Will have the
advantage of being always ready for
use, the gyro wheels being kept In
motion by current from small &C.

tons and delays. Representatives of
the press were OH hand from every
part of the nation, and the city was
filling up with people attracted out of
curiosity to the scene of the trial. In
anticipation of possible trouble the au-
thorities had surrounded all those con-
nected with the trial with special
guards, while the militia and two
troops of regulars were held in readi-
ness for the least sign of disturb
ance. This was probably due TO the
numerous threats received by Govern
or GoodiGg from sympGthiZers with
the accused. Special quarters had been
taken for the jury SO as to keep it
under constant guard, and Il special
order was issued by the mayor against
street speaking during the progress of
the trial
Judge Wood on the previous day had
denied the petition of counsel for the
defense for bill Of particulars con-
cerning the evidence to be advanced
by the state in support Of its charge
Of conspiracy. Lawyers barrow, Rich
ardson and Wilson, associated in the
defense with Murphy, the official coun-
sci of the Federation Of Miners, ar
gued for the petition on the ground
that the defendant had right to know
before the trial what the nature of the
evidence against him was, so that he
might have an opportunity 10 prepare
the evidence in rebuttal. The petition
was opposed for the state by United
States Senator Borah and Lawyers
Fawley and Van Duyn. Commenting
on the judges decision after the first
session of the court, Haywood said:
What does it matter? / am only
circumstance In the case anyhow. The
cause at stake in this trial goes beyond
me or a hundred like me; 1t is the fight
of the laboring man against oppres-
sion." 1t was expected that the choos-
ing of jury would occupy many days,
as 1t would be difficult to find men
whom one side or the other could not
successfully challenge on the score Of
having formed an opinion about the
case.
Black Handlers Found Guilty.
Eleven Of the thirteen men accused

being only the beginning Of sys-
tematic campaign of the authorities

He WON HIS CASE.
An Incident That illustrates che
Shrewdnees of Ben Butler.


A number of years ago General Ben
jamin f. Butler was q guest of friends
in Brooklyn. During his visit he noted
the rule of the street railway COM
panies compelling conductors to regis
ter fares rs soon as passengers entered
the cars and before the fares were ac-
tually collected. Two or three years
afterward lie represented the plaintiff
In damage suit for $4,000 in which
Brooklyn street railway company was
the defendant. The principal witness
for the company was the conductor Of
the car on which the accident occur
red, and his testimony was so strong
MS to make things look bad for Buffers
client. But Butler recalled the unusual
rule he had remarked years before and
On cross examination he said:
"Your company requires you to ring
up fares as soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn't it?'
yes"
Suppose passenger boards your
car and. then finds he Is on the wrong
line. Do you state that fact to your
superiors. and do they make allowance
on your returns for that fare?'
"No. / lose the nickel"
do you mean to say the company
won't take your word for cents?'
"No, they won't"
"fet." said the shrewd veteran, turn.
Ing to TIE jury. "the company asks you
to take this conductors word for $15.-

Denying Third Term Rumors.
President Roosevelt has been kept
pretty busy denying the various state
ments made by his friends looking to-
ward his acceptance OF third nomna-
ton. To one Massachusetts caller who
told the president that New England
would insist upon his denomination the
president replied: Nonsense! If
were to accept denomination after
what l have said on the subject,
would be historically disgraced."
Roosevelt Explains Further.
The committee of the New York Fed
Grated union returned from its call
upon President Roosevelt with a form
al letter from him repeating what he
had written to the attorney general on
March %, 1906. In that letter the pres
ldent said that they must see that ex-
act justice was done the accused men,
referring to Messrs. Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone. He said he would call
upon the district attorney Of Idaho for
any information of unfairness in the
conduct of the case, and, on the other
hand, he wanted to know whether
there was any sign of miscarriage Of
justice in their favor, referring to the
Incorporate violence of the socialistic
and labor agitators. The president also
says that If at any time any one can
submit to him evidence showing mis-
carriage Of justice he will bring such
evidence to the attention OF the attor-
ney general and have him take action
thereon.
