T|LLMAH IS SUSPICIOUS
South Carolina Believes the President
Is Using Taft as a Stalk
ing Horse.

Washington Court House, Ohio, Aug.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
who was in this city yesterday, was
not backward in expressing his views
on the subject of Republican presiden-
tial timber, In answer to a question,
Senator Tillman said:
u do not believe that the fact that
President Roosevelt is, on the face of
it, backing the effort to dominate Sec
rotary Taft for the presidency will
serve in any degree TO strengthen the
chances for the secretary's nomination.
In my opinion Taft will hurt his pros
poets if he attempts to stand as a stool
pigeon and personal representative of
the president If he stands as the rep
resentative Of Taft, rather than of
Roosevelt, he win be much stronger
before the people.
Really, however. I think that the
president is after the nomination him
self and that his present maneuvering
is for the purpose of getting the stu
alton so tied up that deadlock will re-
suit in the Republican national con-
vention, and that the president hopes
and expects it will be stampeded to
him-nominate him by reclamation
and hand the nomination 10 him on a
silver platter. with assurance from the
convention that he is the only man
who can lead the Republican party and
the country out of the wilderness The
president did not tell me this. for
never call on him, you know, but this
is what I think.
Whom do 1 think the Republicans
viii nominate for the presidency?
Well. Governor Hughes surely will get
the New York delegation to the ma
tional convention. He seems to have
made himself popular with the people
of his state and his chances of secur-
ing the nomination seems to me to be
better than those of any other man
now mentioned With such a state as
New York back of him, he will be a
power in the convention from the very
start"

"BuICK'S" PROVES
A FAVORITE
Salt Lakers Appreciate Popular Au-
tomobiles Proven by Sales.
Business in All Lines Good, Accord
ing to Statement From consoli-
dated Wagon G. Machine
Company Representative.

That the public of Salt Lake favors
popular prices is well demonstrated
when one notes the number of Buick
autos seen on the streets and boule-
wards daily. This machine has won
wonderful favor among the best
classes. 1t is not only well and simply
constructed, but it carries every ear
mark of a high-priced machine. The
Knox Waterless is no less popular,
having proven a machine that will
withstand more hard usage than prob
ably any other machine built. One of
these was sold only yesterday, and it's
proud possessor will be on the boule-
wards today giving it try out. a rep
resentative of the Consolidated Wagon
& Machine, when seen yesterday, said:
Business was never better than it
has been this year. Our records show
a vast increase in sales in the past
seven months over the same period
last year, and indications point to a
good trade the balance of the year, as
crops in nearly every district are very
heavy, with prices strong. Collections
are unusually good. This is probably
due to the prosperous conditions of the
country generally"

PRINCIPALS ARE DETERMINED
Promise to Make Demand on Board of
Education When Perfect
ly Organized.

Declarations from the members of the
board of education that its finances will
not permit an increase in the salaries of
the public school principals has not d.
minished the determination of the teach
ers, who are insisting that something be
done in their behalf or wholesale resigna-
tiOns will follow.
Yesterday it was the unanimous senti-
ment of the principals interviewed by
The Herald that something should be done
for the teachers at once. That the funds
will permit the raising of the maximum
salary, which is now 600 a year. is the
contention of the teachers. Although the
principals were willing to discuss the sit
uatiOn and TO explain their grie-
vances, all declared that they did not
want to appear as individuals at the pres
ent time.
ut would be as much as my job is
worth to allow my name to appear over
the complaints, just as they are" said
one, but when we are perfectly organ
lied we can take some action.
81 do not think il is the intention OF
any of the teachers to embarTass the
school board or the system" he con-
tinued, but something must be done, and
that soon"
1t is understood that a meeting Of sew
eral of the maximum principals will be
held this week to determine upon a con-
serted course of action.

This famous and somewhat touching
and rhythmic little ditty will be sung
today. The saloonman will tell his best
customer that there's nothing doing,
and his best customer will go to his
friends apartments and lick up" more
liquor than he would on three ordinary
week days, just because it's rebellion,
and the spirit of rebellion is always
present in the soul of the man who
drinks booze and can't get it on Sun
day.
The Sunday closing ordinance has
been in force to greater or lesser ex-
tent since its passage-mostly to a
lesser extent. There are places in this
town that do quite as much business
on Sunday as they do on Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday. There are
some equipped with every convenience
of a barroom, in miniature form, save
that the permission to sell on Sunday
is absent.
Yesterday Chief of Police Mckenzie
caused to be issued warnings to tns
salOOnkeepers that they must close
their places promptly at u o'clock
midnight, giving them this saving
grace, that if there is a crowd in the
place an additional half hour may be
taken to get rid of it, But at 1890
there must be nobody in the saloon ex-
cept the cat and the mouse.
If anyone is caught selling liquor tc-
day there is going to be the court 20
pay. That's what the city's new chief
of police says, and judging from the
carrying out of his sayings during the
last week, one is led to believe that
there will be no liquor sold in Salt
Lake today. All have been given fair
warning, and all must heed the high
sign, lest they have no licenses at all.
Pool and billiard rooms are included in
this edict

LIGHTNING AND
THUNDERSTORMS
An Average Of 500 People a
Year Killed in Various Parts
of the United States.
DANGEROUS BELT-IN NORTH
ONE OUT OF THREE PERSONS
STRUCK SURVIVES.

Washington, Aug. 24.-An average of
500 people are killed in the United
States each year by lightning, accord
ing 10 data collected by the weather
bureau. This means that about one
in each 100, 900 Of population is killed in
that manner.
The belt Of most numerous vista
tons includes all of Florida, except the
sOuthernmost tip, the lower edges of
Georgia and the southeastern corner of
Alabama In that belt an average of
forty-flve thunderstorms year is ex-
perienced.
The zone Of next greatest frequency
includes the more northern parts of
Georgia and Alabama, and its annual
average is forty storms.
Thirty-fiVe Storms Year.
Thirty-hve a year are experienced in
somewhat irregular belt north of
this. and including still more northern
parts Of the states last named, as we'll
as the whole of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, nearly all Of Tennessee, the ada
cent corners of Illinois and Kentucky.
the southern part of Arkansas and the
eastern central part of Texas.
Another belt of equal intensity ex-
tends throughout central Illinois and
adjacent sections of Indiana, Iowa and
Missouri.
The region from the Virginia capes
to Connecticut escapes with an aver
age of twenty-five such storms, while
Boston is visited by only twenty. The
frequency dininishes until the Rockies
and reached, and on the Pacific slope
there are practically no such storms.
Region of Greatest Danger.
The region of greatest danger from
lightning stroke does not coincide with
the zone of greatest thunderstorm fire.
quency, but includes southern Yer
mont, the whole of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indi-
ana, eastern Illinois, Virginia and the
greater part of Maryland. In this zone
more than five deaths to each 10000
square miles year are caused by
lightning.
Three in five deaths in 10000 is the
rule in a region including Chicago, St.
Paul, Des Moines, st. Louis, Memphis,
Atlanta and Norfolk
Between one and three fatalities per
10000 is the rule in a third zone, in
Guiding PASSPORT, Montreal, Duluth,
Bismarck, Huron, North Platte, Gal
weston. New Orleans and Jacksonville.
In the country westward less than one
death to 10000 occurs.
One Out of Three Survives.
Four times more persons of outdoor
pursuits than of indoor occupations are
struck Men, like animals, are more
apt TO be struck when collected in
groups than when alone. Out of every
three persons struck one survives, and
probably more than half would recover
if means were employed to induce ar
tificiaI respiration, as in cases of drown
ing. More than half the persons killed
by lightning are struck while standing
under trees.

COMMENT BY Mr.. BRYAN.
Roosevelt's Speech DiscIoses Scheme
for Capitalization.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 24-William j.
Bryan, commenting on Roosevelts speech
today, said: =
'At last the presiSent has disclosed his
scheme for Capitalization. Here is the
secret: The states are annoying the cor
porations and the corporations demand
federal protection from state legislatures.
The president thinks action most pressing
as regards these corporations which, be-
cause they are common carriers, exercise
quasi-public function. If it was the
people he wished to protect he'd recon-
mend federal remedies that would not in
terfere with state remedies But the
railroads, not the public, demand the re-
moval of authority to Washington. Dem
ocrats can be depended upon to oppose
with all their might this movement to-
ward Capitalization"
