LET OUT FOR HAZlNG.
High School Students Branded Their
Fellows on the Forehead.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct 29.-Two stu
dents of the Polytechnic high school
have been suspended and three others
are in danger of sharing the same fate
today because they had branded the
foreheadS of two students of the Los
Angeles high school with nitrate of
silver during the initiation ceremonies
of the Kappa Delta fraternity for
hidden high school secret society. The
boys who were branded and whose
condition for time alarmed their
parents, are Frank Rouse and Edgar
Lusk. On Lusk's forehead the letters
tx. D." were branded. On Rouse's
forehead were the figures "09." Ugly
red scars were made, but 1t is not be-
lieved they will be permanently dis
figured.
1t was learned from the authorities
that the beginning of the initiation
was at the home of one of the stu
dents where there was a pleasant
gathering. This was followed by
visit to Westlake park, where Rouse
and. Lusk were stripped and thrown
into the lake. They were taken to
vacant field where thev were bound
with wire shackles, branded upon the
forehead and left to shift for them
selves. They were finally able to free
themselves sufficiently to make their
way to a neighboring house, where
they secured help in removing the
wires which bound them

HEIR TO LARGE ESTATE.
junction City Man Hears He Is Left
100000 Acres in Mexico.

Junction City. Oct 29.-William L.
Abbott, who for the past year has
made his home in this city, and lives
at 100 North Jefferson street. has re-
ceived word from a Kansas City at
torney to go with him to Old Mexico
to fix up an estate left by a DR.. Fish,
who died several years ago.
Mr.. Abbott was seen this morning
and gave out the following statement:
Ten years ago 1 was in the real es-
tate business in my old home town in
Wisconsin. 1 married Miss Liver
more. but four years ago she died.
She came from well to do people and
several of her relatives were very
me that she had an uncle in Mexico.
She being his nearest blood relative
would fall heir to a share of the es-
tate. After the death of my wife I
came west and located in Kansas.
1.-TWO years ago an advertisement
inquiring for William Abbott. and L
saw the advertisement in the Kansas
City papers and answered it. and was
surprised to find that 1 was the party
wanted. 1t seems that shortly after
the death of my wife DR.. Fish, her
uncle, died, and in his will he gave
my wife large portion of the estate.
Not knowing my whereabouts and the
fact that my wife was an heir before
her death, and the will never being
CHdHSeu, gave me HeI IlSHlS. anu al
ter I made the facts known I was in
formed to wait. Since that time L
have heard but little until two weeks
ago, when 1 received a copy of the
will, papers and copies of deeds. and
a request that 1 go at once to Kan
sas City, and from there go to Mexi-
CO to straighten up the estate"
The copy of the will shows that
Abbott is heir to about 100000 acres
of Mexico land, located a few miles
from the coast and about 20 miles
south of Brownsville. Tex. With the
papers is a plat on a blue print
showing the 26O, 900 acres of land and
the location.
He will leave here on the 18th of
November for Mexico. and when he
returns will be better able to tell
about his unexpected legacy.

Letter in Defense of Spanish War
Veterans Organization.

washington, Oct 29.-Repudiating
any efforts to use the United Spanish
war veterans organization for political
purposes, Commander-in-Ch Chief Chas.
w. Newton of that body in a letter
received today by J. Walter Mitchell,
the national historian, says that the
organization can not afford to be mis-
represented in a matter of such vital
Importance. The letter grows out of
reports of organization of league of
veterans to support one of the party
candidates. Commander-in-Chie New
ton says that the fact that it is gen.
orally known that the organization in
common with other prominent veteran
organizations is absolutely nonpartisan
should refute any statement made by
political managers which is contrary
to those principles.
ANY comrades who combine to use
the organization for political pur-
poses" he added, "are acting in def
ance of our laws and subject to the
severest penalties in our power to in
flict"

IN PRAISE OF TAFT.
President Roosevelt Gives the Candi-
date Another Endorsement.

New York, Oct. 29.-President
Roosevelt has sent to c. B. Wolfram,
editor of the New York Herald. let
ter praising William H. Taft and
success of Taft and the governors re-
election. The letter is as follows:
Washington, Oct. 81, 1908.
MY Dear Mr.. Wolfram: 1 thank
you for your remembrance of my
birthday. Will you let me take this
opportunity to thank you in return
for the admirable work you are do
ing for clean and honest government
by your support of Taft and Hughes.
l have profound faith in the good
sense and conscientious devotion to
duty and to high ideals of my fellow
Americans of German birth or. Ger
man parentage. I am certain that
they will go right If only the facts can
be clearly presented TO them; and
thanks largely to your efforts, the
facts are thus being clearly presented.
Mr.. Taft stands in the nation and
Mr.. Hughes stands in the state for
that high order of governmental
efficiency and that high standard of
governmental honesty, the union of
which is absolutely essential in order
to secure good government.
Each adheres and has always
adhered, in public and private life to
the most infiexible standard of hon
esty and fair dealing as between man
and man. Each represents what is
best in American citizenship. Not one
word of any kind can be truthfully
said against the private or public
character of either.
Each has the broadest sympathies
for his fellow citizens-for 1 hardly
need say that the accusation that
Governor Hughes is narrow and
illiberal man is preposterously false.
I believe that the victory of the one
in the nation and the other in the
state is assured by overwhelming ma
jorities. and 1 thank you for the way
in which by your efforts you have
contributed to bring about this re-
suit.
with all regards, believe, me
Sincerely yours.

TAFT Is MODEST.
Speaks for Hughes and Sherman But
Not Himself.

Canandaigua. N Y, Oct. 20
William H. Taft was cheered enthu-
siastically when he commended Gov
ernor Hughes and James S. Sherman
in his speech here today.
OF the governor he said:
You have a great man in New
York to be elected your governor.
Prophesies were made of the impos-
sibility of electing him. These prop
hesies seem to be born of a mistaken
idea of the judgment of the people.
They know a good man. They know
courageous man. They know an
intelligent man when they see him
and when he represents a moral is
sue and when he speaks and has
moral convictions the inference that
he is going to be successful is ordin-
arily a certain one, especially when
it is predicted of a people like the
people of the state of New York. The
whole state ticket 1 understand to be
of such character that it is most sat
isfactory to the Republicans and l
hope to Democrats as well to vote.
Now with respect to the personel of
the national ticket 1 can not speak
except with reference to the vice
presidential candidate with whom I
am delighted to be associated your
own Honorable James S. Sherman"

and who are trying to touch the con-
science of the nation. Republican lead
ers no longer led the people In the
right direction; these leaders nave De-
trayed the sentiment even In their own
party and misrepresented the wishes OF
the rank and file of the Republicans.
Taking up the question of publicity
of campaign contributions Mr.. Bryan
asked those present if they were will
ing to endorse a plan that contem-
plates the purchase of elections.
Il warn you now" he said, that the
crusade we have commenced for honest
politics will go on until we have law
that will compel the Republican leaders
to open their books and let the people
know what is going on
Mr.. Bryan charged that the United
States senate was the bulwark of pre-
datory wealth and that corporations
had controlled the actions of senators
who were chosen to represent the peo-
pie. Speaking of the trusts, he assert
ed that Mr.. Taft had not attacked
single trust, because. he said every
trust magnate was supporting him and
"out of the funds the Republicans are
preparing to buy every vote that can be
bought"
Mr.. Bryan vehemently declared that
the Republican party was going back
ward instead of forward with respect to
labor. He characterized the promise of
a revision of the tariff as an attempt to
perpetrate a fraud on the people. His
audience appeared to be practically un-
animous for the law to guarantee bank
deposits as indicated by the number of
hands raised when he put the matter
to a vote.
From Cohoes Mr.. Bryan proceeded
via Albany where he is to speak late
in the afternoon. After a considerable
stop in Utica, the home of Mr.. Sher-
man, the Republican vice presidential
candidate, Mr.. Bryan will go to Rome,
Oneida, Canastoa and Syracuse.

al nominee in this district and for the
Democratic state candidates, Mr..
Bryan predicted his election to the

Mr.. Bryan said that before the Den
yer convention the Republicans were
very silent. They said If the Demo-
Gratis would only nominate me they
would have a walkover. Well. at this
