WOMEN, WINE AND AUTOS
Cause of the Downfall of Gay
Young Chicago Man.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Chorus girls,
wine suppers, and automobiles are the
causes of the downfall of young man
of many names who last night
changed his abode from a downtown
MOTEL to the central police station.
The name by which the prisoner is
booked on a charge of passing bogus
checks is Perry It. Marquette. He also
is known as Bert Maerker, Robert
Maucher, Robert Mercher, and
various other eognomens
His arrest was caused by c. w.
Motley. proprietor of an automobile
livery. Last Tuesday Marquette en-
gagged am automobile with chauffeur
from the Motley company for three
days. He rendered in payment a
check forS$12O drawn on Philadel-
pf1ia bank.
The Philadelphia bank was asked
by wire If Marquette had an account
with the institution, and q negative
reply was received.
Detectives found Marquette at a
downtown cafe surrounded by a num-
her of young women who are appear
ing at a West Side theater.
The prisoner is % years old. He
told Inspector LAWN that his real
name was Marquette. His father, he
said, was Herman Marquette, for
merly wealthy lumberman of Mil
waukee, but now living at Big Timber,

I'm a graduate of the Culver mill
tary academy" he said, land was as

A check book of the Girard Trust
company of Philadelphia was found in

has an account of $9,72O. but In
spector LAWN believes it is bogus.

BRYAN MOVING PICTURES
VIII Be Shown at Eighth and Kansas
Avenue Tonight.

The exhibition this evening of the
moving picture view of the great
Bryan day in Chicago will be worth
seeing as the film is one of the largest
and requiring nearly 40 minutes to
pass. This exhibition is greatly sought
after by all cities and should have
been given here about week ago but
Topeka got tidetracked- Mr.. Frank
S. Thomas, chairman of the Demo-
cratic county central committee, was
in Chicago and went to the company
that control this film and succeeded in
sidetracking another city and getting
this entertaining exhibition. Mr..
Thomas also secured a cut or rather
the plate itself of cartoon that has
been used with great effect in New
York entitled, He is good enough for
u.s." and the state central committee
has had $4,000 of these cartoon print
ed and distributed all over the state.
There are other cartoons that will be
thrown on the canvas which is 1Sx20
feet that illustrate POLITICAL subjects. 1t
is expected that Eighth street from
Quincy to Kansas avenue will crowded
end Chief of Police Eaton has agreed
to see that the street is not occupied
by teams or carriages, thus allowing
it to. be used by the crowd that may
assemble.
The management of the Novelty
theater offered the use of their theater
free but Mr. Thomas Thought that the
crowd would be entirely too large to
get into the theater, as it will only
hold about 1000. The crowd the day
that Mr.. Bryan was in Chicago was
estimated to be $4,000 people and
the great parade and the crowds that
heard his speech at Forest park are
illustrated by the moving picture ma
chine with great perfection. 1t was
political demonstration that has prob
ably never been edualed.e Mr.. Bryan
on that day was the guest of organized
labor of Chicago

OBJECT TO TRANSFORMING.
National Ball Commission Takes Up
Washington's Case.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Actions on the
cases of the players of the Washington
American league team who took part
in transforming trip hereabouts this
fall probably will be taken by the ma
tional commission at a meeting to be
held in this city tomorrow. At the same
time a petition from Chicago baseball
patrons calling for an investigation of
the sale of tickets for the recent world's
series games here will be considered.
The Washington players subjected
themselves to investigation by playing
games here after their season closed in
violation of one of the rules of the
commission. The Minneapolis players,
who also offended against the same
rule. will be treated by the Minor
league governing board before their
cases are taken up by the commission.
President Johnson of the American
league and a national commission
member returned from Detroit yester-
day and, in discussing the commission
meeting. said he expected President
Pulliam of the National league to ar
rive here today, and that Chairman
Hermann of the commission would be
here tomorrow for the meeting.

GOD MADE THE TRUSTS.
Queer Declaration of Senator Dolliver
in a Nevada Speech.

Reno, New, Oct 16.-Senator Dolli-
yer of Iowa. declared last night be-
fore an audience here. that God made
the trusts, not man, and that God
would be responsible for their regula-
ton. Senator Dolliver said in part:
Trusts are governed not by any
statute but by the laws God made for
the protection of his own people. The
laws of God are equal to the task of
regulating the growth of the trusts. :"
Citing the law of maximum con-
sumption Dolliver said that it was to
the interest of the trusts to make
prices low so that consumption would
Increase; that postage stamp revenue
increased in proportion as the price of
stamps was reduced by law; that
sugar sales increased and the profits
thereof with the reduction of the
price ard fell with its advance.
1.-THE sugar trust" he said, "is in
the hands of the author of the
universe"

FLEET STILL AT SEA.
Rough Weather Has Made 1t In
advisable to Land.

Toxic, Oct. 16.-1o p. NIP to
this hour there has been received no
additional intelligence of the pro-
gress or position of the American bat
tleship fleet and 1t is believed that the
first message of welcome sent yester-
day by Vice Admiral Saito, minister
of the navy was not received
The Associated Press has been in
formed that q published report to the
effect that one of the vessels of the
fleet became separated from the
others in the storm is absolutely UNI
true, as the navy department here
has been unable to communicate with
the American warships since this
morning. 1t is supposed that the
rough weather has compelled Adj
miral Sperry to take the fleet away
from the dangers of the coast and far
out to sea where they would be be-
yond the sphere of the wireless.
The escorting squadron consisting
of the cruiser Soiya, the scout cruiser
Magami and the torpedo gunboat
Tatsuta, under command of Rear
Admiral Murakami, will leave
Yokohama tomorrow afternoon to
meet the American warships.

HORSE HAIR NOT AS SILK.
Court Decision Cuts Down Tariff on
Imported Braids.

New York. Oct. 16.-John A. Patterson &c
Co.. dealers in braids. received some time
ago a consignment of horse hair braids
from abroad upon which the board of
general appraisers assessed duty of six
ty per cent advalorem, CHASING the
merchandise as silk braids by similitude-
The firm appealed to the United States
circuit court, which affirmed the decision.
Then Paterson Sc Co. carried the matter
to the circuit court of appeals in brief
submitted by counsel for the importers,
which in part read as follows:
There is nothing meritorious in the sug-
gestion that because horse hair comes
from an animal 1t assimilates more to silk
than chip, grass, etc. AS matter of fact
1t is oftener said that hair is really a
vegetable growth rather than an animal
substance. which is indicated by its con-
tinued growth in many cases after death. -
Should the court of appeals find that
horse hair is vegetable like straw and
rattan. the duty collectable on such mer-
chandise will be only fifteen per cent ad
valorem, which would mean a big saving
to merchants who are now required to
pay the sixty per cent duty.

Brings BACK Stories About Strong Taft
Sentiment.

Samuel T. Howe. chairman of the

from his trip to Toronto. He stopped
off day on his way home to visit his
old home in Toledo, Ohio.
1T is my judgment" said Mr.. Howe,
from what the delegates to that tax
conference said. that all of the west
ern states will go for Taft in the COM
ing election. Indiana will be the
closest of the lot, but think Indiana
will be all right. New York is almost
sure for Taft

LATE ARRIVAL OF FLEET
Caused a Change of Programme at
Toxic and Yokohama.

Toxic, Oct. 16.-The announcement of
a days delay in arrival of the Ameri-
can battleship fleet, made in special
editions of all the daily papers, has
caused something akin to CONSERVATION
in Toxic and Yokohama, because of the
necessity for wide departures from
the programme of entertainment,
which had been arranged up to the
last minute detail. officers of the jap
anese navy who have taken active part
in the preparations have been in con-
slant consultation with Commander
John A. Dougherty, the naval attache
at the American embassy.
It has been. decided to postpone the
