CANDIDATE TAFT
RESTS AWHILE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE is DOING
LITTLE FISHING IN THE WA
TIERS OF LAKE ERIE.

MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, O., Aug
William H. Taft and party arrived at
Middle Bass Club at o'clock this
morning. After a five-hour sleep the
candidate breakfasted and later at
tended services in the little. chapel.
He rested throughout the remainder
Of the day.
The fourteen speeches which Mr..
Taft delivered yesterday in the unex-
pected campaign he did on the trip
through his native State from Hot
Springs, Va, left their impression on
his voice today, but aside from the
hoarseness and his declaration that
he felt a little tired, he was little the
worse for wear.
While the week on the fishing
grounds is primarily for recreation, it
is understood several political confer
ences may be held. On Wednesday
Mr.. Taft will go to Toledo to address
the National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic. This
speech will not be political.
The small island on which Mr.. Taft
will finish his pre-campaign vacation
Is quiet and picturesque, one of a
group lying about twenty miles Off
shore, midway between Cleveland and
Toledo.

separation was contradictory of that
given by the defendant
There was intense interest mani
tested in the testimony of Mrs. Long,
the bereaved and heart-broken
mother. She had the sympathy of
every one in the audience and her
grief was most poignant whenever it
was necessary to refer to her son.
She shuddered with a mothers grief
and love when she spoke of the last
time that her dead son kissed her
just before leaving on the fatal night;
she never saw him again until he was
in his casket Mrs. Longs bearing

tleness and intense suffering. No
matter what others might think of
her dead boy, through the eyes of a
mothers love she beheld him as a
worthy son and wholly undeserving
his sad fate.
Mrs Longs testimony did not agree
with that of the defendant touching
the relations with his wife. She
stated that she had never seen 8the
defendant manifest the slightest af-
lection for either his wife or child
that she had never known him to kiss
or caress either; that when his wife
was sick it was plain that the defen- |
dant was irritated and he gave little
notice to her. In answer to a ques- |

the Woodland company and Il. G..
Eberhart, treasurer. The company
is IA big one in Chicago. having put
through many large land and irriga-
tion projects Henry asks that the
contract with Secretary Garfield be
cancelled and that he be given his
share of the profits and sale of the
part already sold to the irrigation
district.
I, C. Henry is well known because
of his connection with the Ross
Levin estate and other big interests
The origin of the story was years ago,
when George S. fIcnry. the son of A.
&C. Henry. took up for his mother
water rights on the Grand river, Just
above Grand Junction, which he con-
sidered would be in time worth a
great amount of money. His mother
advanced the money and owns the
title TO the water. Young Henry's
judgment was justified by the growth
in value of land around Grand juno
tion. He filed on 200 cubic feet
of water per second.
About one year ago the Chica go
pulJles names We're interested in the
development of the rights. The
Henrys transferred to the Woodland
company one-half their rights in ex-
change for half the stock in the COM
pany Just before this the residents
of that section Incorporated an irri-
CATION district under the state law
to irrigate the Orchard mesa, con-.
tanning tract of 10000 acres of
land. 1t was the intention to con-
struct canal and the Woodland
company entered into negotiations TO
sell part of the Henrys' water rights
to the district and construct the
canal.
The people were said TO be in favor
of the proposition but on the night
when a vote of stockholders of the
irrigation district was held. great
many of those in favor of the plan. it
is alleged, stayed away because they
did not know that the state law re-
quires that those stockholders staying
away from meeting where PROPOSE

question. Although the actual vote is

counted against it. the proposition

was transferred to Chicago and the
board of directors conveyed to Il. G.

of the l,20O. Eberhart then conveyed
this share to the Orchard Construc-
tion company, organized for the pur-
lpose of defrauding the Henrys, ii is
alleged. The Orchard company's Of

and the Henrys will never be able to
utilize its rights. IL is said, because
the reclamation service, with its own
plans. will block any effort of the
Henrys to use the water.
The district has voted 100000 in
bonds TO purchase the $50 cubic feet
of water and construct the canal. and
S130.000 is to be paid over TO the
Orchard Construction company to-
morrow The Henrys ask that the
contract to construct the canal and
the proceeds that have been realized
from sale of water rights so far, be
held in trust for the parent company
and the proceeds be divided as the
stock of that company provides.

est woman in the world, has decided
to share her fortune of 100000, 900

fought for it in 1906 in the Phila-

the least possible cloud from her
coming happiness, she probably will
do so before the ceremony that will

unlikely.

MAKE WAR ON
GRAIN GAMBLERS

WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 11.-Man-
itoba wheat-growers have initiated a
movement that is designed to wipe
out of existence the Board of Trade
of Chicago, which fixes the price OF
grain in the United States and Can
ada.
There are 5000 farmers in this
movement. They have declared war
on the Winnipeg Grain Exchange,
through which is handled the bulk of
the annual wheat production of ap-
proximately 1O0,OOO,000 bushels in
the Northwest country. If they win
in their demands it probably will
mean the dissolution of the exchange
and the wiping out of grain gambling
in this tremendously productive dis
trict. Prices for this district are
fixed by Chicago.
