HARD RAPS FOR TAFT

At this meeting MIR. Bryan in his
short speech took several hard raps
at the Republican party generally
and at William H. Taft in particular.
"There are several good reasons, +"
he said, why we can expect the
support of many of the thinking in
dependent republicans this fall.
am going to illustrate some of these
reasons. When man of property
dies If he has any offspring the
property goes to his children. The
republican party is about through
and when it comes to reforms the
democratic parry Is rightly entitled
to inherit the powers of government.
But | think we have even a better
right than this to expect success this
fall. When man dies without heirs
his property goes to his parents.
That being the Case, | do not see
Why the Democratic party is not
entitled to inherit the right of gov
ment this fall There certainly can
be no question but that the Demo-
cratic party is the parent of these re-
form measures projected by the
president.

Taft on Guaranty Plan
Saws National Banks Should
not Guarantee DepoSitors

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 26.-"It
puts premium on reckless banking
and is an inducement to reckless
banking" Thus did Mr.. Taft this
afternoon, in response to question,
state what is, in his opinion, the Wit
al objection to the proposed plan to
guarantee deposits in national banks
ssThat is the fundamental objec-
tion," he said. "Relieyed Of the
responsibility to and the fear of his
depositors, the tendency would be
to induce exploitation, manipulation
and the use of assets of banks in a
speculative way. 1t would promote
speculation at the expense of the
fellow bankers. Any proposition as
to the amount of the tax that should
be assessed as based on the present
rate Of loss is on an erroneous basis,
as the danger of loss of deposits is
increased vastly by the proposed
system, so that the per centage OF
the tax would have to be vastly in
creased. The Democratic platform
provides for an enforced insurance
which compels all national banks to
contribute TO the insurance funds to
meet the defaults of the spectators. ;"

MADE FOUR SPEECHES

Mr.. Bryan made four speeches in
Topeka yesterday and last night and
then the crowd did not have enough.
He spoke from the balcony of the
Troop hotel at q O'Clock to a crowd
that completely filled Kansas avenue
within hearing distance. Later he
spoke to larger crowd at Garfield
park. The Knights of Pythias were
holding a celebration there and had
invited him to make an address.
He is member of that organization
and years ago made speeches over
the C. .untry in Its behalf. He talked
no politics there, His subject was
"Fraternity."
The big meeting in the Auditor
ium began at 8 O'Clock last night.
This was the one in which the peo-
pie were interested, for it was here
tLat he talked issues. He devoted
himself almost entirely to the dis
cussion of his famous bank guaranty
Issue. He added few remarks d.
rected at the republican party coun-
Gil which adopted bank guaranty
plank in its platform Tuesday. that
were not part of his set speech.
After that he addressed an overflow
meeting. The Auditorium holds
nearly 5000 people and hundreds
were unable to get in. Whether or
not Mr.. Bryan has much of a politi-
cal following in Kansas it was fully
demonstrated yesterday that he has
great personal following.
When Bryan stepped off the train
at ths Rock Island depot there was
a crowd running into the thousands
waiting for him. His hat was off
and when the crowd caught sight of
that familiar crown mighty cheer
went up. Three policemen forced
way through the crowd TO the wait
ing automobiles. All along the
platform tn e Democratic leader
shook hands right and left.
The car in which Mr.. Bryan rode
from the depot to the Throop was
driven by DR.. Anton Smith, because
the union men in the crowd objected
to the non-union man who was at

Met With Hearty Welcome at
Depot When Train Arrived
ADDRESSED KNIGHTS OF PY1H|AS
Held Council With the Party
Leaders in Kansas
From the Topeka Capital, Aug. Fl.

Yesterday was great day with
Democrats of Kansas. 1t was the
beginning of the national campaign
so far as this state is concerned and
was appropriately marked as such by
the four speeches Of the Democratic
candidate for the presidency, Will
liam Jennings Bryan, in the capital
of Kansas. There was more Demo
cratic enthusiasm evident in Topeka
yesterday and last night than there
has been before in four years. With
out regard to party afiliation the
people of Topeka turned out to see
and hear the peerless leader of Dem
ocracy.
Bryan and his party arrived in
Topeka just before one O'Clock yes
terday, over the Rock Island. His
party consists of Theodore A. Bell,
of California, temporary chairman
of the Democratic convention at
Denver; Frank Herring, young
democrat of Indiana; Robert F.
Rose, his private secretary, and four
newspaper correspondents. Hend-
erson Martin, chairman of the dem
ocratic state central committee, met
Mr.. Bryan in Kansas City and came
to Topeka with him.

FORCED WAY THROUGH CROWD
The crowd followed the machines
to the Throop and there another
great crowd had gathered. 1t was
again necessary for the police to
force way for Mr.. Bryan through
the crowd. He succeeded in get
ting into the hotel and as far as the
the stairway where he was stalled by
handshakers. H stopped and
shook hands with every one in sight
and was then allowed to go on up
stairs.
In the meantime the crowd that
had gathered outside was calling for
Bryan. Frank Thomas took one
look out of the window and told Mr..
Bryan he would simply have to
speak.
'It's too hot out there, said MIR.
Bryan. Turning to Mr.. Botkin he
said, 81 wish you would go out there
and tell those people that 1 will de-
liver short address here at 400
O'Clock this afternoon"
Mr.. Botkin made the announce
ment, but it didn't serve the pur-
pose. ri suppose 1 will have to go
out there" said Mr.. Bryan. The
instant he appeared on the balcony
there were cheers.
''It's too hot out here for me to
talk now," he said, ''and it's too
hot for you to listen. You will have
plenty of opportunity to hear me
today. This evening l will speak
at the Auditorium and besides, will
speak at an overflow meeting, if
there is any overflow. 1 will make
a short address from this balcony at
a O'Clock and later in the afternoon
will speak at Garfield park. You
are all invited to attend these meet
ings.
With that Mr.. Bryan went back
inside and took lunch. Afterwards
he held conferences with the party
leaders and the situation in the state
was talked over. Promptly at 400
O'Clock there was another immense
crowd gathered in front of the
Throop. 1t blocked traffic but the
crowd didn't mind that so long as it
heard Bryan. He talked for an
hour.
At the meeting held from the bal
cony of the Throop hotel Mr.. Bryan
was preceded by Theodore A. Bell,
temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic national convention at Den
yer, and was followed by Frank
Herring of Indiana. Mr.. Bell is a
California man. They made short
talks based on democracy in gener-
al.

SPOKANE RACE MADE
AND DOOMED KELLY
INJURED TENDON IN LEG,
WHICH CANNOT BE HEALED,
PREVENTS HIM FROM DOING
100 YARDS IN BETTER THAN
TEN SECONDS.

PHILADELPHIA. June 24.-Dan
Kelly, the Oregon sprinting wonder,
opposite whose name in athletic
almanacs appears the records of
9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yard dash,
may never again be seen In an inn
portant foot race.
Although the world of amateur
sports has never been cosnizant OF
tho fact, the truth Is that Kelly
strained a tendon in his right leg
in the famous 8 3-5 second race.
and has been handicapped ever
since.
Fate dealt Kelly a cruel blow In
the one race-run at Spokane,
Wash. June %. 1906--the black
smiths son won the most coveted
title known to amateur sport, and
suddenly became famous in college
athletic circles all over the world.
But while winning this recognition
he lost forever the ability to sus-
tain his reputation as holder OF the
worlds record for the nationally
popular 100-yard dash.
Nelly himself realizes, dllDOuSn
he does not like to admit II, that
the strained ami weakened tendon,
and not change Of climate, was re-
sponsible for his failure to finish
"one-two-three" at jamestown last
year.
Kelly has tried every way
imaginable to restore strength to
the injured tendon, bu. the strain
seems permanent. The westerner,
probably could not now do the 100
in 10 seconds.
Because of the injured leg, Kelly
will not start In the 100meter race
in the Olympic games to be held ip
London next month.
The Oregon boy must still be
classified as great athlete. how.
ever. He will go to London to COM
pete in the running broad jump.
and stands a fair chance of captur-
ing the honors in that event.
Kelly Is now I'm training here
under the critical eye of Mike Muir

entire charge of the American team

COLLLNWOOD SCHOOL HORROR LEADS
TO NOVEL CEMENT CITADEL SCHEME

Following the recent Collinwood
o., school fire horror, in which 1863
children lost their lives, an unusual
type of cement construction for
school buildings is proposed in the
Cement Age. Use of the new con-
struction, it Is insisted, will alb
solutely guard against perils of fire
and panic, such as occurred at Col
linwood
The main feature of the new type
Is a circular, central citadel, eX-
tending from basement to roof, an
independent structure around which
school rooms can be built. These
are connected with the citidal by
FIRE doors.
Inside the citidal, which is to be
flreproof. are stairways of sufficient
capacity to provide for the ready
exit of the children. Once inside
the citadel, the children can take
their time in leaving, as it is heat
and smoke proof.
A standpipe, running from the
water mains to the roof, gives fire.
men an opportunity to work in a
protected position, the walls being
punctured with numerous loop
holes through which the hose can
be operated.

TAKING CANDY
FROM BABIES

A discouraged lot Of Black Cats
were trounced at Recreation park
yesterday by the Indians, IL to J.
in the most embarrassing game OF
the season. Rasty Wright started
out to pitch in a serious manner,
but after five innings the Aber-
deem team showed no signs of
either ability or effort to win he
too got as lazy as Southern
''nigger" and tossed them over.
The big crowd Of fans took It good
humoredly at first, but no one likes
20 see hOrseplay at a bali game, so
they tried to ginger Rasty up. but
he wouldn't ginger worth a cent.
He couldn't see the use.
1t was a story Of hard luck. Dad
Brown. the red-haired (auburn. beg
pardon) captain-manager of the
team hurt his hand and took to
center field, where he nailed few
flies, nevertheless. The old boss
didn't give up. When he came to
the bench after the fireworks he
declared that that was about all
the runs Spokane would make the
rest Of the series. Tommy Doyle.
pitcher, who can't bat worth a
cent. was playing second base:
Boettiger catcher. was In right
field Brown was sick himself. and
Califf, pitcher, wasn't In shape and
, there was no one to relieve him..
ITS the toughest story Of ill-fortune
in the league this year. But aside
from that, Dode Brinker, the Cats
best pitcher. Is laid up with a
, sprained ankle; Moore, the fast
right fielder, Is having in Portland.
However. the Indians We're ready
for anything and would have won
anyway. 1t was different from that
first week.
Seven errors are charged to the
Cats. They couldn't field any bet,
ter than they could bat. After
Spokane secured its big lead Rasty
let up and 10 hits were scored off
him. Aberdeen got three hits in
succession In one inning. But
when necessary with men on bases
and danger Of runs, the elongated
one would pitch in form again. He
struck out six and walked three.
Califf gave 10 hits, struck out two
and walked three.
An unfortunate accident befell
Catcher Rogers that will lay him
APP for some time. A foul tip
caught him on the right hand and
split 1t between the first two
fingers. A physician Is looking
after 1t. Sailor Roberts, signed
from the City league, went in in
Rogers place. He secured a cork.
ing single after two strikes were
on him.

competition at Charlottesville, Va,

run hundred yards in 2-5 sec.

If Rector can sustain even a
8 -5 second reputation he will
have proven the athletic find of the
century. He is also working here
under Murphy.
Look out for this boy Rector"
says Murphy. 'He ran rs yards for
me the other day in 3-5 seconds,
and was going like horse at the
finish. That's equal to 9 As seconds
