Gus.
Bernor had made his calculations
with the expectation Of landing at
Gard island, but a storm came up
about four o'clock in the afternoon,
and the binding snow was so confus-
ing that he lost his way, and when he
finally did reach shore it was at
Presque isle, directly across the bay
from the point he started for.
Bernor's trip across the ice was
fraught with many perils. Time after
time he stumbled into air holes and
found himself in water up to his waist,
but the brave fellow was undaunted.
The week of horror alone with his
dead friend had prepared him for al
most any emergency, and he proved
equal to the occasion.
Onward he stumbled through the
storm and darkness which enveloped
the icy bosom of Lake Erie. Now and
then he took his bearings from a
pocket compass, his only guide. He
knew not but what each succeeding
step would take him to watery grave,
but on he went, with dogged persist
ency, and his steps finally brought him
to shore more dead than alive.

HEARST MAKES CHARGES
Says Foraker Received Money From
the OIL Trust.

Columbus, o., Sept. 18.-Thomas l..
Hisgen, candidate of the Independence
party for president, and William R.
Hearst addressed meeting at Memo
rial hall under the auspices of the To-
cal party. Mr.. Hearst read letters
which he said had been written by
John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
company to Senator j. B. Foraker Of
Ohio, referring to legislation pending
in congress and mentioning two en-
closures of checks, one for $4,000 and
another for $14,500. Mr.. Hearst said:
I'VE claim that the Republican party
has been for long time the benefi-
ciary of the trust corporations and
that the Democratic party has only
waited an opportunity to share its Sis
ter's profitable infamy.
I'VE claim that the Democrats are
today eagerly competing with the Re-
publicans for trust favor.
1--WE claim that when Theodore
Roosevelt whipped the Standard Oil
company out of the Republican party
the Democratic party welcomed that
convicted criminal with open arms.
We claim that the Democratic party
killed for Mr.. Rockefeller the fatted
calf and that there Is more rejoicing
over this one sinner who has joined
over the hundreds of thousands OF
honest, faithful citizens who consti.
tute the Democratic masses"

JUMPS INTO FRAY.
President Takes Hand In Fora
keT-HedrSt Affair.
SCORES THE Ohio SENATOR
Interests Back of Him, he As
serts, Are Opposed to the
Election of Taft.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Secre-
tery Loeb gave to representatives OF
the press a formal statement by the
president which was called forth by
the recent exchanges between Will
lam r. Hearst and Senator Foraker
of Ohio. Mr.. Hearst, in public ut
terances, had accused the senator OF
relations with the Standard Oil COM
pany inconsistent with his duties as
a senator and his attitude as repre-
sentative of Republican policies and
professions. In the statement Presi-
dent Roosevelt makes another appeal
for the support of Mr.. Taft and de-
clares that his defeat would bring
Tasting satisfaction to but one set OF
men, namely, TO those men who, as
shown in the correspondence pub
lished by Mr. Hearst, were behind Mr..
Foraker, the opponent of Mr. Taft,
within his own party, and who now
are behind Governor Haskell and his
associates, the opponents OF Mr.. TAFT
in the opposition party"
The statement embodies letter
written by Mr.. Taft to friend In
Ohio on July 20, 1907, in which the
present Republican candidate for the
presidency refused to acquiesce in the
plan of the Ohio state central COM
mittee to endorse Mr.. Taft for the
/ presidency and Mr.. Foraker for re-
election to the senate in single
resolution. The president points out
that Mr. Taft's attitude has always
been directly opposed to that charged
against Senator Foraker by Mr.
Hearst regarding the moneyed inter
ests. The president cites the Browns
vile affair as a case whore the agita-
ton was phase OF the effort "by the
representatives of certain law defyine
corporations to bring discredit upon
the administration" 1t was, he says
in large part, mot genuine agita
ton on behalf of colored men at all :
