TAFT STANDS BY
PLANK ON TARIFF
Republican Nominee if Elected
Will Call Special Session
of Congress
Declaration Is Based Upon the
Pledge Made by Party at
National Convention

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 22.-Judge
Taft's views regarding the revision OF
the tariff were incidentally expressed
by him today.
"If elected he said, 81 shall call the
sixty-first congress together in extraor-
binary session to revise the tariff at
the very earliest moment 1 have au-
thority to do so. I consider such ac-
tion to be my obligation under the
tariff plank Of the republican plat
form"
Bryan's recent tariff speech has not
reached here, and the above statement
was made without reference to what
the democratic nominee has said on the
subject, but in answer to query as to
how Taft interpreted the republican
tariff plank.
Taft made it known here today that
he will stop for two hours at Athens.
Ohio, next Saturday on his way to Mid
die Bass island, where he is to fish for
a week.
TAFT TO ADDRESS VETERANS
The Athens visit is at the urgent in
vitation of former Representative Gros-
venor, whose guest Mr.. and Mrs. Taft
will be for luncheon. Opportunity also
will be taken to present the candidate
to the members of the county organiza-
tions of veterons of the Civil war and
the Spanish American war, who will
be in session at Athens on that day.
II shall probably make a speech to
the veterans said Taft, but it will
not be political speech; simply an adj
dress of courtesy, such as the occasion
warrants"
PRESIDENT FAvoRS HUGHES
Postmaster General Meyer came here
today for a week end visit with Taft
and allowed himself to be quoted In
this statement:
II believe Governor Hughes will be
renominated."
Meyer, who was at the recent Oyster
Bay conference on the New York situa-
ton, indicated that he based his opinion
on information gathered there, although
he said President Roosevelt's intention
was to take no action in the matter.
1T is a political situation which 1 be-
lieve will work itself out naturally
he said.
PINCHOTcS REPORT HOPEFUL
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the govern
ment forestry bureau. made a report to
Taft on conditions in the west. He
said for publication that he had
brought to the Virginia mountains a
I fine collection of rainbows.
Theodore P. Shonts, president of the
ugh-Metropolitan railway sys-
tenn of New York and president of the
Chicago and Alton, came here today on
| his way west. Before he left New York
Shonts placed an order for 500 freight
cars for the Alton, news Of which was
stated as an indication of his views OF

.LONGWORTH VOICES
ROAST FOR BRYAN
Presidents Son in Law Declares
Nebraskan Gropes in Dark
for Issue to Land Votes
Senator William Allen Smith
Asserts COmmOner Has For
feited Public Confidence

CLEVELAND. O., Aug. Congress
or the president, and Senator William
Allen Smith were speakers at meet
ing OF the league of republican clubs
OF Cuyahoga county here tonight. Sen
ator Smith said in part:
rms is not the hour for tariff tinker
ing, such as Mr.. Bryan indulged In
when last in public office; leaving a
Mucous trail behind which time has not
obliterated and which more than any
thlng else in his political life has kept
MIN from further promotion.
Free trade, free silver and govern
ment ownership of railroads has oper-
ated against him, to be sure, but his
vote In congress in favor Of the Will
son Dill with its ruinous results, for
fe1ted forever the confidence of the
american people in his economic judg-
ment and the soundness of his views
upon this fundamental principle of the
settled American policy"
LONGWORTH SCORES BRYAN
Congressman Longworth said:
The democratic candidate for vice
president, Mr.. John w. Kern, has not
yet been told that he was nominated;
the Importance of this lies in the fact
that until Mr.. Kern has officially spoken
will not know, except in the vaguest
way, that the gentleman really is in
existence
The democratic candidate for presi-
dent needs no introduction to the
American people. He has introduced
himself twice already, and they have
failed to return the call. His sup
porters tell you that he has improved
with age. that he has broadened by
Of Ho+ nd
by much travel.
They tell you that he is more con-
servative-toned down from his for
mer state of violent and aggressive
radicalism. They explain that abun-
dant prosperity has weaned him away
from his former enthusiasm for the
doctrine Of despair.
DO not be misled, he is the same; he
is the same old Bryan. Today he is
no better and no worse than he was in
96. If he was unfit to be president
then, he is unfit now. He has no more
deeply settled convictions upon mat
ters of national Importance now than
he had then. He is still cropping in the
dark for an issue that he thinks may
land him votes.
TAFIvS ELECTION PREDICTED
"The republican platform, on the
contrary, breathes hope and patriotism
in every line. Our candidate is pre-
eminently fit to stand upon this plat
form. He is pre-eminently fit to be
president. From the day that he, fol
whom the American people would glad
ly have broken the third term rule, the
best beloved and most popular presi-
dent this country has known, declared
solemnly that he would not accept a
denomination, 1t was inevitable that
his successor should be William How
ard Taft"
The occasion OF the speech making
was the annual picnic of the Cuyahoga
county league of republican clubs
Longworth was the central figure al
the outing. Mrs. Longworth. the presi-
dents daughter, was not present to
share the honor given her husband. The
presidents son in law, besides making
a speech, also presided in the afternoon
as judge of a pretty baby contest. He
said this was the most embarrassing
and difficult task he ever attempted

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Congressman D.
E. McKinlay of California visited re-
publican national headquarters today
on his way to Vermont, where he will
deliver a number of speeches.
He has been selected to address east
ern voters because of his familiarity
with the trade conditions in the orient,

pected to emphasize in his speeches the
necessity of an extension of American

Desires Cancellation of Conces-

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. ga dis
patch received here from Constants

the Turkish ambassadors at London and
Paris to enter into negotiations with
the French and British owners of con-
cessions recently granted by Turkey,
with the idea of bringing about the an
nulment Of these privileges by mutual
consent
The present Turkish cabinet considers
that these concessions, secured under
the old regime through bribery and in
roundabout ways, are invalid. In case
the owners of the concessions in ques-
tion refuse to relinquish. the matter
win be submitted to The Hague.

NATIONAL FORESTS
YIELD BIG REVENUE
New Law Giving States rs Per
Cent of Gross Receipts
Brings Good Income

Figures just made public by the
forest service show that under the new
law requiring 25 per cent of the gross
proceeds of national forest business to
be paid over to the states and terri
tories in which the forests are located,
to be used for public schools and roads.
the last fiscal year will yield these
states $447,06S.79.
The amounts which go to each vary
from $313.6S for Arkansas to more
than $4,000 for Montana The small
amount for Arkansas is because the
two national forests in that state were
created so recently that they have not
yet got fairly under way. Oklahoma,
with one small national forest, receives
1854; Kansas, $644, and the next small
est after these is Nebraska with S2,350
Since the forests In these last two
states were set aside from land nat
urally destitute of trees that the gov
ernment might try forest planting on
them 1t will probably surprise most
people that they should yield any reve-
nue. at ALL
National forest business is chiefly of
three kinds, grazing, timber sales and
special uses, the latter comprising the
use of the lesser resources of the
forests and the permits involving the
development of water power.
Montana, California and Colorado
Montana and California this fact is
mainly due to the accessibility of the
timber in the national forests. The
fact that the timber can be readily
reached and quickly transported to
market has created a heavy demand
which Is reflected in the volume of
business. Colorado is almost absolute-
ly dependent upon the national forest
timber for its mining operations Each
n OF al WI
$4,000 from the proceeds of the for
ests.
Idaho. Utah and Oregon head the list
of the states in grazing business The
causes in this case are several. Tn
the first place these states are supplied
with more abundant forage, largely. on
account of more plentiful precipita
ton. In some cases the ranges will
support sheep to the acre. whereas
the ranges elsewhere will often sun
port no more than one sheep to from
four to six acres.
The grazing methods are, as rule
more intensive in these states, a higher
class OF herders is employed and a
better grade of stock is kept. Man
agement is also more intensive. sheen
are handled in small bands and the
herders in running them are able to
keep them in scattered order SO that
they do not do so much damage to the
range as does the large band which can
be controlled only when closely herded
Idaho's share of the receipts is more
than $4,000.
California leads in special use busi
ness, partly because Of the large
amount of water power developed and
partly because of the larger population
adjacent to the forests and drawinp
upon their resources. The state will
receive as It's share of the national
forest proceeds about $4,000.

John Jenesik Is
Held on Three
Charges.
SCALP WOUNDS

A street row in which three men
were hurt with a blackjack occurred
last night and, 'as a result, John
Jenesik is under $500 bonds on
three charges of atrocious assault.
Patrolman Calvin met two men at
Smith and Prospect streets at 1920
O'Clock and both were bleeding from
scalp wounds. He started to take
them to see physician, when he
met Patrolman Durham with an
other man who gave his name as
John Bassarial. He said that a man
named John Jenesik and another
whom he did not know had assault
ed him and the two whom Calvin
had In tow. The latter turned the
injured men over to Durham, and
Calvin went with Bassarial to the
home OF Jenesik, at 613 Fayette
street. Jenesik was not at home
and they went back at 10 O'Clock and
found him in bed. The wounded
men were attended by DR.. M. S.
Meinzer.
Roundsman Morris and Patrolman
MCGOWAN were with Calvin when he
went to Jenesik's house the second
time.
Jenesik was held in $500 bail on
each, of three charges of atrocious
assault, this m orning, preferred by
Charles and John Bassarial, of 272
Fayette street, this city, and John
Bassarial, their cousin, from Dunel-

jail in default of bail.

OVER FIRE IN
TRANSFORMER

An accident that came near running
the clothes of several pedestrians in
Smith street and which kept about a
dozen workmen busy Saturday night
yesterday and last night until noon to-
day, occurred Saturday night on Smith
street, in front of the Scheuer building,
when one of the large transformers of
the Public Service Corporation took
fire on top of pole.
The fire was not to be seen, but the
oil in the transformer burned, running
down the sides of the pole and the lights
in the business section of the city be-
came dim. This occurred about 10
o clock Saturday night, when Christmas
shoppers were thick along Smith street.
1t is a miracle that no passers-by were
either burned or had their clothes ruin
ed by the dripping oil.
Superintendent Hufnagle was quickly
on the scene and the ruined transformer
was removed from the pole. A direct
connection was made temporarily.
Last night, Mr.. Hufnagle and his men
put up new pole in front Of the
Scheuer building, with the aid of sew
eral search lights, because the old pole
was rotten from age and would not have
carried a new transformer.
Mr.. Hufnagle attributes the accident
to the great tax on the current Satur-
day night, when an unusually large
number of lights were in use, because
of the Christmas shopping.
The sight of the men working under
an are and several search lights, in
Smith street, last night attracted con-
attention.
