OBJECT TO TAFT BANNER
Lincoln Democrats Want En-.
bIem Removed

LINCOLN, Neb., July 26.-Lincoln
democrats VIII make an effort to have
the Taft banner which is hung over
the main street taken down on Au-
gust. u, when Bryan is TO be formally
notified OF his nomination. The ban
ner, which proclaims that Taft will
carry Nebraska, has been an eye sore
TO local democrats since il was hung
A week after it was placed, when 1t
was the subject OF much discussion,
the banner was burned and partially
destroyed. It has since been rehung,
without however, any unfaYorable
comment on the part Of the Bryan
men.
Chairman Hayward Of the republican
state committee IS now IN Ohio apd
has not been asked If he Will take
DOWN the banner. He said before the
banner was burned that he would con-
sent TO its removal on notification day,
but since the day IL was taken down
he has not said he would adhere to this
promise.
Extensive preparations are being
made in Lincoln for Bryan's notifca-
ton. The speeches are TO be made
from a platform in the state capitol
grounds and after the notification is
completed marching clubs will form

HFRRINITE RINGS
DESPERATE MOVE
Alameda County Machine, Fac
ing Defeat, Raises Cry of
False Registration

OAKLAND, July 26.-Desperate in
the sure signs of defeat which stare
them in the face. Herrinite members
of the county ring started a roorback
today by which they attempted to
ward off the impending downfall OF
the gang in the seventh ward. En-
ployes OF the county government, un-
der orders from the machine, started
cry of false registration" and tried
to involve the Lincoln Roosevelt re-
publican league. Earl S. Bingham, a
leader in the league In the seventh
ward, was bullied in an effort to induce
him to make admissions concerning
one Ed Hinkel, whose name was given
out by the county ring of politicians.
Bingham said tonight: THE talk OF
false registration comes with poor
grace from the men who have manipu-
lated seventh ward politics as long as
Cook, Pierce, Aitken and that crowd
have handled things over there. They
are attempting to check the wave of
public sentiment that Is surely over
whelming them. I was informed to-
night that through publicity channels
available to the Herrin machine In
Oakland efforts to injure the lincoln
Roosevelt movement would be made.
/ know nothing Of any false registra-
tion.
THE league countenances nothing of
that sort. The people of Oakland know
it, and especially will the people of
the fifty-f1rst assembly district know
the purpose of any such charges. 1t
is merely an attempt to divert atten-
ton from the main issue-the defeat
of the county clerks machine In that
district. He and his following have
controlled political affairs there long
enough We purpose to end that con-
troll on primary day. I was told to-
night that this alleged false registra-
ton yarn was to be circulated in an
attempt also TO offset the charges made
by Frank Jacinto, fireman, against
Councilman Aitken, VINO is the Herrin
candidate for supervisor from that dis

CHINA TO WELCOME
WARSH|PS AT Annoy
Plans of United States Govern
ment Do Not Receive Un-
qualified Approval

PEKING, July 2e.-The Chinese gov
ernment is completing its prepara-
tions for the entertainment Of the off,
GERS and crew Of the feet Of American
battleships at Annoy in the latter part
Of October. The original sum of 400, 900
taels appropriated by China for the
purpose OF welcome and entertainment
Will be augmented by another 100000
taels. This has been necessary by the
isolation and comparative inaccessi-
bility Of Annoy, the Chinese port Sc
lected by the Washington government
for the feet to call at.
There are practically no facilities at
Annoy for the entertainment of such a
large body Of men, and China has given
no evidence OF being gratifed that
this out of the way and unsatis-
call. Furthermore China has been
placed in a position of considerable
embarrassment and difficulty in this
matter and she is disposed to keep as
secret as possible her preparations as
well as her determination to give a be-
fitting welcome TO the American war
ships.
This arises from the humiliation
China experiences from the fact that
only part of the feet will visit China
as compared to the calling of all the
vessels in Japan; the criticism that the
government is extravagant in appro-
priating 100000 taels for entertainment
and also because the proposal that the
feet come to a port on or north of the
Yangtze river was vetoed for fear
that Japan or China or both countries
would misinterpret the true meaning
of the visit.
Still the authorities show great pride
IN what they are undertaking for the
entertainment of the Americans and
they are determined that the visitors
shall have no doubt whatever as to the
genuineness OF their welcome.
George Mark. the China commissioner
on arrangements. has left here already
for Annoy, where he will superintend
the construction OF proper landing
facilities, the details of the proposed
street parade, the arrangements for
theatrical entertainments and the ade-
quate lighting OF the city.
The program includes banquets to the
officers and men, who will be enter
tanned in two big parties. Three thou
sand American sailors and marines will
be dined at one time They will be
given souvenirs of their visit and there
Will be a series Of sports on shore and
continuous performances in the the
aters and the pavilions. The charges
made by the foreign press of China
that the American legation had op-
posed the coming of the fleet to China
were denied at the legation today with
emphasis.

DIES SUDDENLY IN
MASSEUSF'S PARLOR
William Hale, Well Known Real
Estate Man, Succumbs to
Heart Failure
Friends Unable to Locate Wallet
With Large Sum Usually
Carried by Dead Man

William Hale, one of the most promi-
nent real estate man in San Francisco,
died suddenly yesterday afternoon IN
the parlors of Mrs. Nina Williams, a
French masseuse, at 707 Van Ness ave-
nue., of an attack of valvular disease Of
the heart.
Hale had lived in this city for 45
years and was 63 years old. He was
a son of the late Superior Judge Will
liam Hale, and a direct descendant from
the family of Nathan Hale, the revolu-
tionary war patriot. He was probably
the best judge of titles in California,
his work in that connection having
brought him into intimate relations
with every real estate dealer in the
city.
No reason is known by his family
why Hale should have been in the par
lors of the masseuse. According to the
statement of Mrs. Williams he had
come to take massage treatment for
the relief of severe headache, as she
says he had done on two previous oc-
casions within the last four months.
His son in law, Captain V. Gambont
Massetelli of the Italian army, at pres
ent visiting with his wife at Hale's
home at 1927 Sutter street. and J. H.
Bloomfield, for nine years his conf
uSHIldl dQNlS6Ip expressed deep sur
prise last night to learn that he had
ever taken treatments at the woman's
place.
A rather peculiar phase OF the case
is the disappearance Of black wallet
in which Hale usually carried from
800 to $500 in currency with him. Only
$1.25 in silver was found In his clothes
when the coroner took charge Of the
body and the missing wallet has not
been found in his home.
Hale left for drive yesterday to be
gone while his son in law and daugh-
ter visited on board the Italian cruiser
Puglia. Mrs Williams says that he
appeared at her parlors about 1890
o'clock, saying he was sick and be-
lieved a treatment would benefit him.
While she was In another room she
heard him call, "Oh, I am feeling so
sick-can't you come to me?'
Running into the room she found
him sinking face down on the floor.
After slipping a pillow under his head
she called DR.. A. S. Tuchler from next
door. Despite powerful injections
administered by the physician Hale
died within few moments.
Mrs. Williams did not call the coro-
ner at once in her efforts to identify
the body, according to her statement,
and it was not until 2:30 o'clock that
the morgue officials were notified.
These various delays and the unusual
circumstances OF the case led to an
autopsy by Dr. ]. R. Clark, at which
chronic valvular heart disease was de-
termined as the cause of death.
Hale had among other holdings valu-
able properties in the Potrero. Before
the fire his Office was at $50 Pine street.
Besides his daughter and son in law he
had two sisters, Miss Susan Hale of
1927 Sutter street and Mrs. James Cum
ningham. For some time he had been
under the care of a physician. The
stomach will be sent to the city chem
ist for examination despite the autopsy.
