Statement Pleases Bryan,

Lincoln. Neb.. July 21.-The state. ment of Judge Taft Saturday that the Republican national committee would not accept any contributions from cor porations in his campaign was viewed with more than ordinary interest. MT. Bryan dictated the following:

Monnett For Democratic Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., July 2l.-Late Sunday night Frank S. Monnett, former Repub. lican attorney general of Ohio who conducted the prosecutions in that state against the Standard oil com. pany, and later was employed by the interstate commerce commission to gather material upon which to base the government suits, arrivedhere and had a lengthy conference with MT Bryan. MT. Monnett announced that 1t is his purpose to actively support MT. Bryan in Ohio in the campaign and he will make numerous speeches in behalf of the Democratic ticket.
 MT. Monnett said that he was au thorized by MT. Bryan to state that be. caues of tie governments dereliction In prosecuting the alleged wool com bine. whose headquarters he claims are in Ohio. MT. Bryan had announced that If elected to the presidency he would at once put all the machinery of the government at work to destroy any combination that may exist.
 Tt will be his policy" said MT. Monnett, to destroy the wool monop- oily that prevents competition as promptly as the courts and himself can do it. The American Woolen com. pany has destroyed, so far as the pro- ducer is concerned. the entire benefit supposed to enure from the pay of wool"
 Mr. Bryan and MT. Monnett agreed that the Sherman antitrust law, as it stands today, is sufficient for any anti trust action necessary, but that the government. for some unknown req. son. refused to act.

Reasons For Removing Brown.

Atlanta, July Ex-Governor Smith has sent to the Georgia legislature a special message giving his reasons for removing Joseph Brown as a member of the state railroad commission in 1907. Brown recently defeated Smith in the Democratic primary. The gov. ernor reviews the act of the railroad commission in reducing rates in Geor. gia, this action having been opposed by Brown.
 While I concede the right of any commissioner to disagree to the action of the majority in reducing freight or passenger rates or fixing obligations upon railroad companies, deny his right to remain upon the commission and furnish arguments and evidence for railroad companies to attack the action of the commission in the courts This, he charges Brown with having done.

HORROR AT HACKENsACK
George Eberhardt Accused of
 Murdering Aunt.
ALSO SHOOTING HISCOUSIN
TakinS His Recently Arrived Austrian kinfolks to Lonely Section of New Jersey City Young Man Chorsed With Killing Relative For Her Money.

Hackensack. N. J., July 21.-The body of Mrs. Ottillie Eberhardt, well-to-do Viennese widow, was found on railroad track in lonely section of Hackensack, N. J., early Monday.
 At first it was believed the woman had been struck by a train and killed. Subsequent investigation, however, re- veaied that she had been murdered and her body placed upon the track. As a result of that investigation the police are now searching for August Eberhardt, the dead woman's nephew. who fmportuned Mrs. Eberhardt to come to this country and bring with her her little fortune of $2,600 and twenty-year-old daughter, whom Aug ust promised to marry.
 On Saturday Eberhardt his aunt and her niece took a trolley ride into New Jersey and after leaving the car Eberhardt told them he had lost his way. A storm broke and during the crash of thunder the woman stumbled and fell, crying: q have been struck by lightning" AS she fell by the side of the track, Miss Eberhardt says she saw pistol flash coming from be- hind car on siding nearby and then second and third. Several other shots were fired, one striking the girl on the bridge of the nose, the blood from the wound half blinding her. The girl ran down the track until a cottage was reached and she was taken in and cared for.

Depends Upon Eoraker.

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.--According to Democratic leaders who have been at Fairview and conferred with MT. Bryan, the ability of the Democratic party to secure the negro w,te of Ohio will depend largely on the atti- tude of Senator Foraker. So long as he remains outside the Republican breastworks, at least as regards Judge Taft, Democrats feel assured of large negro support from that state. Hold. ing, as they do, the balance of political power, there being. something like 6O,. 900 of them. the negroes in the Ohio campaign will be the most important factor.
