HACK AND AUTOMOBILE
NEAR IN COLLISION

Running at high speed and with
out giving a warning signal, an au-
tomobile dashed around the corner
at the Y NJ A A building last
night barely escaping collision with
a hack coming from the opposite di-
rection. The fault was wholly that
of the auto driver, but in the event
crash had resulted people in the
hack might, unfortunately, have been
killed or manned. 1t is only ques-
ton of time ere a fatal accident oc-
ours through reckless carelessness at
that corner.

MAINE RESULT NOT
FAVORABLE TO TAFT

New York Times.)

1t was polite and polite for Mr.
Bryan to congratulate the Democratic
Chairman in Maine on the result of
the State election, and natural that
he should be "gratified at the re-
turns" On the other hand it was
but prudent for Mr.. Taft to remark
that he had predicted the result
and that it had no National signifi-
cance On the one hand and the
other, these are but the ways of
candidates, the most dignified of
whom always try to make things
look as bright as possible.
The real significance of the Maine
elction, we should say, is not very
great as bearing on the National
election, but what it has is not fav-
orable to Mr.. Taft. The issue of pro-
hibition was practically local and
the Democrats had a candidate very
popular with the farmers, so that
the decided change in the voting
was in the country districts. How
far it was due to the anti-prohibi-
ton sentiment, and how far to the
clannishness of the farmers, it is
not easy to say. The fact remains
that sundry thousands of rural vot-
ers, who have hitherto stood fast by
the Republican Party voted the Demo-
cratic ticket That may not show
that they will vote for Bryan ana
Kern in November, but it shows that
they are not so enthusiastic over
Taft in Maine that they feel COM
PEELED to deny themselves the luxury
of voting against the party on local
issues. If like conditions prevail
in other States the Republicans would
do well to attend to them as prompt
ly and efficiently as pUssibIe.
Looking over the whole field and
noting such signs of public feel
ing as there are at this point in
the campaign, it is reasonable to
say that there is no evidence of a
strong popular sweep toward Taft,
while there is evidence that Bryan
is stronger than he has been in
his two preceding campaigns. In
other words, as things now look, Mr.
Taft is safe because he has a very
wide margain to depend on, and Mr.
Bryan's prospects are not substan-
TALLY encouraging because he has so
large margain to overcome

COFFEE DRINKING

"In my opinion" says a we'll

coffee, is an injurious, poisonous

who year ago was respected as one
( Of the most astute fnanciers in Wall
Street, and who, though small of
stature, was considered a giant in
schemes of finance Morse was seized
the instant he was within State juris-
diction and held.
District Attorney Jerome would
not yield point to Morse's counsel,
and the indicted man was compelled
to go through the regular routine of
the person charged with crime. Ar
rested on the steamship, he was taken
through streets in his own automo-
bile and had to give bail before he
had the privilege of meeting his son
and his wife in privacy. Greater HUI
initiation, except Imprisonment, hard
ly could be imagined for man whose
wealth a year ago was estimated at
$40, 1000, and who is now consid-
cred hardly able to pay his debts.
The arrest was a severe blow upon
Morse, gambler in stocks, man
ready for any daring in business
venture. Though he knew ne had
been indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury twice on different phases of the
same transaction, he had not expected
to be arrested. His counsel had tried
hard to obtain the consent of Jerome
to present their client in court and
thus permit him to land in peace and
without notoriety, but Jerome had
replied that the public interests de-
manded that Morse be arrested.
Though Morse had schooled himself
to take every success and every fail
ure without culver, the unexpected
ness of his arrest for few moments
sunnerved him. He fumbled the war
rant that Lieutenant Berry put in his
hand. 1t seemed he would be taken
from the ship before it reached its
dock. Freed of that doubt he began
to regain his assurance and his old
air of sternness.
