ROOSEVELT IN
TIGHT CORNER

The principal point made by
Theodore Bell in his speech here
Saturday night was the position
Taft was left in by the disclosure
of Foraker's relations to Standard
Oil. He pointed out that the Taft
letter, made public by Roosevelt,
repudiating Foraker was written a
year ago, whereas last July at the
G.. A. r. in Toledo Taft consented
to public reconciliation with For
aker in order to get the benefit of
the latter's strength in Ohio.
When Hearst read his letters
later showing Foraker to be a paid
ally of Standard Oil, Foraker
dropped out of the republican cam
paign and Roosevelt published the

w. Murray was born in 1858.
After leaving school he worked his
way through the paper mills. Later
on he served two years as lieuten-
ant governor and three years as
governor. He has been in the
United States senate since 1904.
Because of the business relations
between Cranes company and the
government, he had to sever his
connection with the former when
he began drawing pay at Washing
ton. 1t is generally believed that
he will be able to get back into
the paper company when he leaves
the senate.

that he considered Negroes 10 be

using the ballot either for their own

are "a step in the right direction. /"
While seeking to inveigle Negro DO

blushingly declares that he stands
squarely with his party ON that plank
which demands the enforcement
without reservation, in letter and
spirit, Of the three War Amendments.
Not only is Mr.. Taft seriously involv-
ing himself by attempting to assume,
for political effect, such widely op-
posite positions. but he is now going
against what the public knows to be
his own convictions, and declaring
himself in harmony with q plank

Of seeing enforced. To what extent

There is yet a question as to whether
the Negroes of the q. s. viii support

or not. The Negroes have been

to be $4,000. That is more than twice

MAY FLY BY SOUND
Or. OWEN HAS NEW THEORY FOR
AERIAL NAVIGATION.
First Airship Smashed by Vibrations
He Is Busy Constructing An
other-Says Principle Was
Used by the Ancients.

Detroit.--Dr. Orville w. Owen Is ex
periencing the troubled life of an in
ventor Years ago he got an idea
Months ago he was on the point of
realizing it, To-day he is mournfully
watching the repeated deferment Of
the hour when the idea will be en-
bodied in practical form.
Owen is the man who believes he
can make noise like top and fly
to the uttermost parts of the world.
Flying is nothing but applied harmony,
according to his theory. and If he can
produce the correct tones he can go
anywhere and do most anything.
The vibratory theory is his pet
hobby just now He knows all the old
school book stories about the effect
of vibrations, and a lot more that have
been printed in books that few peo
pie read. The phenomenon that
bridge can be thrown down by sound
ing the proper note on violin is mere
kindergarten talk to Owen. He tells
of Jericho that way, when he ordered
the blast from the rams horns, fol-
lowed by mighty shout.
Also the doctor is sure that this
same vibratory theory was put to prac-
teal use by the ancients. The pyr
amids were built in this way, he says,
and the sphinx was moved into its
present position by the same agency.
The Moabite stone tells of an
ariel which the Israelites possessed"
says the doctor, and which gave them
victories until the Assyrians took it
away from them The ariel was fly
ing machine, worked by vibrations,
and it could move any weight"
This ancient knowledge of the
earth's inhabitants has been redis-
covered, DR.. owen believes, and he is
the re-discoverer. He has invented
and patented flying machine, con-
trolled by vibratory action, produced
by means of revolving tops on the
