other six defendants either obtained con-
tinuances or forfeited collateral.
Detective Kleindienst and Policeman
Fucher. who were among those detailed
to break up the throng, testified that Toll
bert refused to move on when ordered.
The officers were positive in their state
ments on this point, but said they did not
hear Tolbert use any threatening Ian
guage.
Tolbert told tale of being In the crowd
at the time of his arrest and being sim
gled out by both the policemen. He de-
MED he had been told to move. asserting
that when the order came he was trying to
get out of the throng as quickly as possible.
Before imposing sentence Judge MullOwny
expressed himself emphatically concerning
the conduct of Eangers-on when an ar
rest is made. The fine imposed was double
the amount TOlbert was compelled to de-
post at the station house for his appear

six weeks. according to the records
of the weather bureau. Incalculable dam
age resulted to late crops and in other
directions.
Prof. Edward B. Garriott, official fore
caster. said this afternoon that the rain
in this city is part of a general rain area
over the east and west. 1t was predicted
in the weekly forecast of the weather bu-
reau promulgated last Tuesday.
"The rain will continue here at inter-
walls tonight" the forecaster added. but
the storm clouds will clear away tomor-
row and seasonal weather will follow.
There will be a sharp fall in the tenn
perature which will cause frost to form
to the fortieth parallel.
Another West Indian hurricane is re-
ported from the vicinity Of the iWndward
channel. between Cuba and San Domingo.
Prof. Garriott said reports received to-
day indicated that the storm was recurv-
ing northward. It is the expectation that
it will pass up over the Bahamas.
The forecaster says the effects Of the
hurricane will hardly reach Washington.

GOATS ANO LAMBS GET MIXED
CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK'S CARD
INDEX SYSTEM GOES WRONG.
Somebody Is stringing Him and
Democrats Are Asked by Letter
to Aid Republican Cause.

BOSTON. September o. - Chairman
Hitchcock's x-hundred- thousand-dollar
card index Of voters seems to have gone
awry. Anyway. something has happened
to his lists for New England. and as a
result hundreds if not thousands of good
democrats in Maine and Connecticut are
getting personal appeals in the shape of
circular letters from the executive COM
mittee for them "as good republicans" to
ante up their little donation to the good
cause.
The letters started to come into the
state democratic headquarters about a
week ago. At first the democratic lead
ers thought there had been a little slip
up that did not amount to much, but to-
day it was announced that nearly a
thousand letters of this kind already had
been forwarded to the Massachusetts,,
Vermont and Maine leaders by good re-
publicans" who happened to be demo-
Gratis.
The general impression is that some of
Mr. Hitchcock's lieutenants in New Eng
land have been stringing him in good
shape, although the indignant republican
leaders point out that it would be just the
kind of trick that the 'rascally demo-
Gratis" would pull of.
Mr.. Hitchcock's plan was to have every
voter catalogued. the republican sheep in
one box, the democratic goats in another
and the Independence League lambs in
another with the prohibition. socialist
and populist rams off In another bunch.
1t would be an easy matter for any one
to Shift these indexes which have been
made by country leaders. the republicans
point out. and the net net result would be
that all the republicans would go down
as democrats and all democrats as re-
publcans. That something like this has
happened appears probable by the way
the letters are mixed.

SHOOTING NEAR CHURCH.
Crowd Of Drunken Men Fires Into
Worshipers and Kills Three.

JELLICO. Tenn. September 2s.-One Of
the bloodiest affairs in the history Of
east Tennessee occurred near the Ten
nessee-Kentucky line north Of Anthras post
office yesterday. The scene was a little
Baptist church within nifty yards of which

months. The services had closed and near
ly all the congregation had emerged from
the church when a crowd Of drunken men
who had visited the blind tiger" began
firing upon the worshipers with pistols.
John Bennett, ]. w. Mckinney and Ed
ward Thomas were shot down at the
church door and died almost instantly.
The preacher, Mr.. Kind. was MORALLY
wounded.
Another wOrshiper named Gibson was
also shot down in front Of the church,
but Is not dangerously wounded. An
thras is FIVE miles from a railroad and
has no telephone connection. Jellico Of

German Vote Nav Figure,


The German vote of Cincinnati is de-
clared to be for Bryan on the ground
Of the republican party's attitude on the
liquor question: 1t is proposition regard
ing personal liberty. But you want to
remember the reverse of this shield,
which Is the stalwart. conservative vote
of the country districts and which ap-
proves the course of the republican party
on this question.
The railroad men Of the state are largely
for Judge Harmon, the democratic candl-
date for governor. Labor is disanected In
many sections. In Cincinnati there Is not
the shadow of doubt that the republ1-
can ticket will be knitted by George Coxs
machine to some extent, II all reports be
true. The negro vote Is divided. and
cannot at this time be estimated. nor can
the effect of the Foraker episode. They
are still chewing 1t over in townships and
have not settled yet.
The information which 1 have at hand.
and which Is not derived from parti-
san sources. seems to bear out the claim
that Ohio is at this time for Taft and
that he will have at least 5000 plurality.
In Illinois there is rafting state cam
paign. National issues are being kept
in the playground to a large extent. There
is nothing In the way the cards are fall
ing to warrant Mr.. Bryan claiming 1llt-
nOs. Uncle Joe Cannon Is having the
fight Of his life. Reports are conflicting as
to his status. One thing is certain. how
ever, which is that he will be glad to skin
through on a much smaller vote IMAM
he has received heretofore.
Reasonable, But Not Rosy.
From Kansas and Nebraska come re-
ports which. while not rosy for the re-
publicans. still give them reasonable and
conservative ground for staying on the
earth. They are not quite ready to get
of the globe Let's pass up these two
states until Taft has gone through and
given them a chance to look him over.
/ have tried to give you a birdeye view
Of the situation In the middle west. taking
1t by and large. There Is no doubt the
republicans had occa sion for their scare
and neither is there doubt that they are
making rapid Roadway to overcome the
untoward conditions that confronted them.
1t was coming to them, they got it, and
1t was good thing for them. Now watch
them pull out!
Here is one suggestion would make to
you who desire to keep in touch with the
possible outcome Of this campaign:
Mark my word. that before election day
the great big so-called Issues will be
overlooked. the voters will not be worry
ing about trusts, nor tariff. nor campaign
contributions.
Men, Not Measures.
They will be sizing up the two men, Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Taft, in personality. rec
ord. mental process. stamina and ability.
and all-around availability as presidential
candidates. Republicanism and democ-
racy. In their respective motley garbs, will
be in the background. and the voters will
be considering the men.
1t Will be the verdict passed upon the
men and not the policies which will de-
eide this presidential election. N. o. NJ.

The nature Of these developments was

Rayner Has Hopes.
I'VE have the strongest hopes of being
able to carry the state of Maryland, and
the party Is putting forth every effort
Tor that purpose. Mr. Bryan had the
largest meeting we have ever had in our
state. Mr.. Kern has made a number of
addresses and has greatly strengthened
the cause by his temperate and conserva-

In the event that such incapacity Is the

If. however. the board finds that the

the ground that he was afflicted with

Col. Stewart has diseased heart and de-
fective eyesight.
The medical examination Of the officer

Officers Detained Here.
The postpOnement of the COrnman
