IBy Associated Press. ]

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 20.
The statement of Judge William
II. Taft at Hot Springs Saturday, that
the republican national committee
would not accept any contributions
from corporations, was viewed here
with more than ordinary interest.
Mr.. Bryan gave it especial attention.
In fact, so impressed was he with
the announcement that he broke his
usual silence and discussed the mat
ter as follows:
1--WE welcome him to this advanced
ground and bid him to go further
and announce that all contributions
above a reasonable maximum shall
be refused"
Yesterday being Sunday did not
deter great many persons from
coming to Fairview.
The stream of visitors began while
Mr.. Bryan was at church. His most
important caller was Mayor Dahlman
of Omaha, who was closeted with Mr..
Bryan for some time; but neither of
them would discuss the subject mat
ter of the conversation.
Mayor Dahlman, who came down
on an early train. returned to Omaha
in the afternoon.
Late last night Frank S. Monett.
of Ohio, who conducted the prosecu-
tons in that state against the Stand
ard Oil Company, and later was en-
ployed by the interstate commerce
commission to gather information on
which to base the government suits,
arrived here and held leSthy con-
ference with Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Monett announced that it is
his purpose to actively support Mr.
Bryan in Ohio during the campaign,
and that he will make numerous
speeches in behalf of the democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Monett said that he was au-
thoriZed by Mr.. Bryan to state that
because of the governments derelic-
tion in prosecuting the alleged wool
combine, whose headquarters are in
Ohio, Mr. 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.
"It will be his policy" said Mr..
Monet, ''to destroy the wool monop-
oily that prevents competition as
promptly as the courts and himself
can do So The American Wool Com
pany has destroyed, so far as the pro-
ducer is concerned, the entire bene-
fit supposed to inure from the pro-
lection of wool. They have driven
up the difference between the price
paid by the producer and the price
paid by the consumer 100 per cent.
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Monett were
agreed that the Sherman antitrust
law is sufficient for any legal action
necessary; but that the government.
for some unknown reason, refused
to act.
Mr.. Monett returned to Lincoln at
at late hour. and departed for his
home early today.

CONFESSION FROM
ALA ON RECORD
Warden Ceghom Sends Alias Confession to Acting Cover
nor Harper Father Eusebus, Father Heinrichs
Most Devoted Friend Acknowledges
Confession But Denies Charge

Inasmuch as the confession of
Giuseppe ALA is now on file in the
state house at Denver, sent there by
Warden Cleghorn of the state PEN
itentiary at Canon City, through
Acting Governor Harper, II is un-
necessary for The Sentinel to make
answer at length to the statements
made in tlm morning sheet. d
The article regarding the alleged
confession of Giuseppe ALA was pub
lished the same as any other mat
ter. Ii was a news item, and il
would have found publication In the
same way had the charges been
made against a Methodist or Bap-
tist minister or the minister of any
other denomination, as many times
such charges have been made aaginst
ministers of other denominations
throughout the country, and which
found publication in this paper.
The alleged confession of ALA ap-
peared in many other papers in the
state as well as The Sentinel, the
Chieftain and the Post. No COM
ment was made on the truth or falsi-
ty of the confession, simply the state
ment made by ALA and which has
not been disprOved as false.
But the testimony in the matter
is the following dispatch from Cam
on City regarding the confession,
which ought to hold the Grand june
ton Yellow for the time being. The
best evidence of the truth or falsity
of the confession is to ascertain il
the signature attached to the con-
fession is that of Ala.
Other evidence most conclusive in
regard to the confession is the state
mcnt of Father Eusebius, the best
friend of Father Leo, the martyred
priest. He acknowledges that ALA
did leave confession.

SEEKS SCALPS
GERMAN NAVAL PA
PERS DISCUSS THE
BATTLE FLEET
Especial to The sentinel.)

London, July 2O.-Reports re-
ceived here regarding the magnifi-
cent preparations that are being
made in Australian and New Zealand
ports for the entertainment of the
American fleet are provoking great
deal of comment.
The expenditure of such vast sums
by the colonial cities in entertaining e
the fleet of a foreign power is con-
demned by the London papers
An undercurrent of jealousy of the
United States runs through many of
these editorial articles, and the
cruise of the Yankee vessels is Sc
verely criticised by some naval au-
thorities.
On the continent, however, and es-
pecially in Germany. the political
aspects of the cruise are considered
in a more favorable light
The Marine Rundschau, which is
the subsidized organ of the German
imperial marine department, con-
siders that the concentration of the
American fleet in the Pacific" marks
the beginning of the new epoch in
the worlds history which was fore
shadowed by Count Yorck Won War
tenburg, Count Waljersee's chief of
staff in China in 1900, when ne ex-
pressed the opinion that the trend
of events lay in the direction of a
union on the part of the continental
and Atlantic powers against the Pa
cific hemisphere 1t is added that
Americas political wishes will only
be recognized if they are backed by
the guns of her fleet, but the scope
of her desires will be bounded by the
navy's radius of action"
The conservative KreuZ Zeitung
indorses these observations with the
remark that the American navy
must not only be ready to strike. but
"ready to strike where strategy de-
mands." General Won ZEPPELIN then
proceeds to consider the lines of
communication and the harbor ac-
commodation on the west coast of
America and in the Pacific, which he
pronounces to be inadequate and in
secure for a fleet designed for Of
fensive purposes"

Melbourne, Aus, July 20.-The
stars and stripes have witnessed
sights and achievements in by-gone
times and that wide and lonely ocean,
the Southern Pacific, will be readily
revived in the general mind by the
cruise to the antipodes of the Ameri-
can battleship fleet. American ships
are getting less infrequent i'm that
ocean, but some prestige remains for
this sea in the coming of the large
fleet.
The fleet will proceed from Honolu-
lu to Sydney. Only some of the fleet
auxiliaries will stop at Samoan coal
ing points. From Honolulu to Auck-
land the distance is 3,764 miles,
from Auckland to Sydney and Tas-
mania the distance is 1,2S1 miles,
from Sydney to this city, the metrop-
oils of Victoria, through Bass strait,
is 567 miles, and from Melbourne to
Albany, West Australia. across the
great Australian bay, it is 1,34N
miles.
Admiral Sperry's command is due
at Auckland August 10, and is to-
spend four days with the New Zea-
landers. 1t is due at Sydney August
IA, where it will stay week. On
August 20 it will reach here for an
other weeks sojourn, and on Septem-
ber it will leave for Manila. STOP
ping at Albany only long enough to-
coal.
On July 10 Vice Admiral Sir Rich
ard Poore, commander in chief of
the Australian station, left Sydney
for Suva, the capital of the Fiji is
lands, and thence he will intercept
the American fleet with two British
warships and officially greet the
Americans prior to their arrival in
Australian waters.
At Auckland the Americans will
be further welcomed by the Austral-
ian squadron, with the armored cruis-
er Powerful.
The zealanders have made elabor-
ate progress for entertaining the
Americans, short though their time
will be. The city will be decorated
with flags and Illuminated with 'myr-
lads of Lights by night There win
be state ball attended by upwards
of 500 persons. A beautiful easket
will be presented to Admiral Sperry
a golden key.
AT Auckland Admiral Sperry will
meet Thomas T. Ewing, minister OF
defense of the Australian common
wealth. who will consult with him
about the commemorative protec-
tion.
The program at Sydney includes
a federal and state reception to Ad-
miral Sperry and his brother officers,
a big review at Centennial market
IN which Australian and British SOL
diers will participate, special excur-
sions and entertainments for both Of
icers and men, and a variety of 9TH
er gaities.

tainment will be as big as the one at

rive at 1 O'Clock on August %, and
will be met by ministers. members
