Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-14
WILL MAKE CRUSADE
AGAINST DICE GAMES

The prosecuting attorney has placed
ban on shaking dice for cigars or for
checks calling for cigars, and tobacco
dealers who permit this form of gam
bling at their counters or in their es-
Establishments will be liable to arrest
on charges of conducting a gambling
game.
The recent war on gum slot ma
chimes has hastened the campaign on
this method of gambling, and the ac-
ton of the prosecutor and his assist
ants to rid the town of games of chance.
''It is a we'll known fact that dice
games at cigar stands are carried on
openly" said Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Guy Eddie yesterday. 1--WE have
planned a line of action against this
kind of gambling and will take steps to
have it abolished or the offenders pros
ecuted. 1 will see the police officials
tomorrow and make arrangements for
raids upon such places. Shaking dice
for cigars, or checks in equivalent, is
gambling and will be suppressed. At
almost every cigar stand in the down
town districts one can see persons
throwing dice. Because of other i'm
portant business we have not been able
to commence this crusade before this
time"

Revenge
Jsoecial to The Herald. I


INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-Thomas
Taggart, former chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, speaking of
Hearst's fight on him, said tonight
that it all grew out C. his refusal to
support Hearst at the st. Louis con-
vention.
At that time Taggart was for Judge
Parker and had assisted the New York
er's friends in organizing the state for
him. Not only that, he had helped
to secure instructions at the state con-
vention which made the delegation
solid for Parker.
Continuing, Mr.. Taggart said:
"At the st. Louis convention John
Eastman, former Indiana man who
was Hearst's representative. and who
then lived in Chicago, came to me and
said that Hearst was depending upon
him to deliver Indiana to him and
he wanted me to help him out. I
laughed at him and told him 1 was
for Parker, as he well knew, and had
helped secure instructions for him in
Indiana and proposed to stand by him
10 Lne ldSls
Eastman intimated that if I didn't
turn around and support Hearst, the
latter would put me out of business.
"You know I was running the Sem
tinel at that time and the threat re-
lated to that publication, as that was
the only way that Hearst could have
had any influence in putting me out
of business. l told him to go ahead
with his putting, that 1 was for Par
ker and proposed to stand by him to
the last.
1.-THE Hearst people had been to my
managing editor and wanted him to
turn the Sentinel to the support of
Hearst and threatened if it was not
done they would put me in Jail.
haven't been in Jail yet, and so 1 sup
pose they did not carry out the threat.
"The trouble all began with my re-
fusal to countenance the Hearst move
ment and because 1 would not sup
port him for the presidential nomina-
tion."

HAVE FADED
IBy Associated Press.1

SOFIA, Oct. 13-"There is no cloud
q the bulgarian horizon" sums up the
official view in Sofia of the events tna'
have transpired since the proclamation
of Bulgarian independence by Prince
Ferdinand October b.
The government is convinced tnat
the chancellories of Europe will swing
TO a more favorable view of Bulgaria S
action as soon as the danger or gen.
eral confiagration is over.
The troops now under arms. includ-
ing the reserves recently called out,
reached a total of 100000 men.
They will be kept to the colors Tor
another month pending a settlement oil
the existing situation.
The guards on the frontier have been
given stringent instructions to keep
:. ell within the territory limits of the
new kingdom and to avoid clashine
with the Turks.
The illness of Prince Boris, eldest
son of King Ferdinand, is the reason
why the members of the royal family
were not present at the festivities IN
Sofia yesterday in connection with the
kings triumphal entry into his capitol
Prince Boris goes under the title in
Bulgaria of "czarevitch."
The assumption by Prince Ferdinand
of the ancient Bulgarian title of czar
appealed to the sentiment of the peo-
pie and added vastly to his popularity
Socialist Press Discordant
The only discordant note is found in
the Socialist organ, which dwells on
the unconstitutionality of the Decla-
ration of Independence and persists in
calling the king prince Ferdinand"
The representatives of the Associated
Press had an interview today with
General Pepenikoff the present min
lister of foreign affairs.
The general said:
Before the dawn of the constitution
in Turkey, Bulgaria was arming her.
self in preparation for war for the
liberation of Macedonia, but with the
attainment of their aims by the Young
Turks the situation was reversed.
"Our government recognized imme-
diately that it had the most to gain
bv the cultivation of sincere frinedship
and cooperation with the liberal
regime in Turkey.
"The proposed Turko- Bulgarian en-
tente is dictated by lutual interests
1--WE are neighboring states and each
can be of powerful assistance to the
other. Guided by such motives, the
Bulgarian government declared it's in
dependence as the sole means OF
with Turkey
1--WE cut the bond of fictitious vas
salage, which in the past was RESPONSE
BILE for so many disagreeable Incidents
1--WE wish solemnly to declare that we
harbor no hostile designs on Turkey
in fact the act of Tirnovo signalizes
so far as Bulgaria is concerned the
fading of the specter of the Balkan
war"

ination should be attached to some of
the stool pigeon leg-pullers who had
been filling him full of hot air and
pulling down his good hard cash. While
the friends of Mr.. Parker and the
other delegates had organized and
were paying hourly visits to the head
quarters of the other state delegations,
Mr.. Hearst's managers entertained
themselves by changing their clothes
at least two or three times a day,
walking up and down the corridor of
the hotel and looking wise.
early in the fight it could be seen
plainly that Hearsts paid men were
crucifying him. They repeatedly made
the statement that it would be suicide
to his cause to have him appear in
person. Nevertheless, the pride and
dignity of many of the delegates of
the old state of California prevailed,
and a final rail- ywas made tn, was a
redeeming feature. Whether We are
at the present time proud, or Y 1ether

Mr.. Simons said that while he went
to Taggart several times he did not
use any threats. He is not surprised
at Taggart's declaration that the
Hearst ''ieg-pullers" resorted to intimi-
dation, for he says they seemed to
know no higher methods.

BRYAN ON TOUR
OF HOME STATE
ERv Aeaociated Press.I

WAHOO, Neb., Oct. 13.-Accompanied
by all the Democratic candidates fol-
state offices, with the exception Of one
or two, w. ]. Bryan today campaigned
in his own state, and tonight at this
place completed the first of the three
days Nebraska tour
| Big crowds greeted him at every
point, and when his days work was
over he had delivered twenty-one
speeches, varying in length from hVe
minutes to one hour.
His arguments were confined mostly
to answering the statements of Mr..
Taft and Governor Hughes, who but
recently visited Nebraska. The audi
ences were mostly farmers, and the
Democratic candidate frequently moved
them to loud applause.
Through Republican Camps
The route traVersed was through
numerous Republican strongholds. The
carload of speakers was brought along
out of Omaha, and at each place Wis
tied by Mr.. Bryan one was dropped on
to complete the work of expoundlng
Democratic doctrine.
Mr.. BRYAN accused Mr.. Taft of not
making the speech in Nebraska that
he had been making in other parts OF
the country.
.'He did not discuss the guarantee OF
bank deposits" he said, doubtless be-
cause he was informed that the people
of Nebraska are in favor of guarantee
ing of bank deposits"
His appeal was to the farmers, and II
was based on the fact that the farm
ers had good crops and fair prices, but
did the Republican party give you goot
crops?" he asked
"All who think the Republican part,
is responsible for good crops should
thank the Republican party. Thos'
who believe as we do. that the gooC
crops are due to the fertility of th'
soil, TO seasonable rains and to th
warmth of the sunshine, should thanl
the Almighty"
