cane deck directly under the seat oc
cupied by the presidential candidate
was struck in the, face and breast by
number of small shot. She was not
seriously injured.
Few of those on the steamer knew
of the occurrence and Judge Taft was
not told. A shotgun was used, being
fired by man from a shanty boat
moored to the Ohio side of the river.
The identity of the shooter is un.
known.
The Island Queen had steamed
slowly around the bend at Dayton
river when persons leaning on the
larboard rail saw a man emerge from
the cabin of shanty boat moored on
the Ohio balk and fire a shotgun
He was in his shirt sleeves and wore
a straw hat.
Mrs. Russell gave a scream and de-
clared she had been shot. She was
hurried into the cabin, where it was
found she was not seriously injured.
One of the shots had penetrated the
skin over her left eye and another
had struck her on the chin.
The distance from the shore was SO
great that the charge of shot had al
most spent itself when it reached the
boat. A number of the pellets pierced
her dress. A young man standing by
Mrs. Russell's chair was also hit by
one of the shot, but he was not hurt.
The officers of the boat stated that
they would make an investigation in
order to learn the identity of the mis-
creant who fired the gun.

This morning as the editor OF The

and the ex-mayor, stepped into the

whereat the ex-mayor, with some

Mr.. Orr, that you secure copy of

ROOSEVELT APPROVES.
Gives His Endorsement to World Wide
Missionary Movement.

New York. Aug. 20.-A foreign mis-
sionary conference composed of mis-
sionaries and missionary workers from
all parts of the world will be held in
Edinburgh. Scotland, in June, 1910. The
forthcoming conference which is the
largest of it's kind. has received the
endorsement of President Roosevelt,
w. H. Taft James Bryce, the British
ambassador to the United States. DR..
Silas McBee of New York and DIR. j. L.
Barton of Boston are at present in
Europe engaged in arranging for gen.
eral committees to consider branches
of church work.
President Roosevelt in his letter of
endorsement sent to the Rev. Arthur
j. Brown, DR.. J. L. Barton, John r.
Mott and DR.. Silas McBee says in part:
1T seems to me that this effort to
bring together missionaries from all
parts of the world and from everybody
of Christians represents a movement
of deep Importance and singular i'm
pressiveness. The purpose of the con-
ference is first to concentrate the at
tention of the entire Christian world
upon the vast mass of human beings
who have never yet heard the gospel;
and second to permit free consultation
on the best methods of obeying the
command to preach the gospel to all
the world. Surely we have a right to
expect that the capacity, forethought
to look ahead and to unite to accom-
plish objects seen from afar-one OF
those high powers peculiar to civiliza-
tion-shall be exhibited to a peculiar
degree among those who preach the
common salvation which comes
through the word of the Lord.
In past history it has ever been true
that all enterprises, whether of gov
eminent or private individuals. have
needed the awakening and controlling
power of that high and self-sacrifice
morally which accompanies the Chris
tan religion and nowadays it is need
ed more. than ever because of the
marvellous ways in which both the
good and bad of the civilized nations
are being carried to the utmost parts
of the earth. The forces of evil are
more mighty than ever before but so
are the forces for good. 1t is an age
of combination and If we are to ac-
complish anything of value we must
all strive together for a common end
If your committee can lay the founda-
tions broad enough and deep enough
to induce representatives of all Chris
tan bodies to take part in this great
conference at Edinburgh far reaching
good can not fail to result.
with heartiest wishes for your sue
cess. believe me.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

FLEET AT SYDNEY.
American Battleships at Anchor i'm

Sydney, N 5. w, Aug. 20.-S:30 p.
m.-The first day of the sojourn of
the American battleships at Sydney
has passed, and while there have been
comparatively few functions. the
spirit of cordially and whole hearted
welcome which fills the people of
this city. has found opportunity for
expression in several ways. Num-
berless harbor crafts have circled all
day long around the white battleships
anchored in the bay. and the shores
and headlands were crowded until
late this afternoon by thousands of
interested spectators. This afternoon
the admirals of the fleet and the cap
tains of the various battleships came
ashore and called officially upon Lord
Northcott, governor general of Aus
tralia and Sir Harry Rawson. COVER
nor of New South Wales. The Ameri-
can officers were saluted upon land
ing. Later the government paid his
official call and was in turn saluted by
the American fleet.
This evening Lord Northcott gave a
dinner in honor of the American Off
GERS. There were present sc Ameri-
cans including the admiralS and the
captains as well as Sir Harry Rawson,
the. British admiral, ministers of state
and of the commonwealth and numer-
Gus other officers of high rank.
AS darkness came down this even
ing the fleet was brilliantly Illuminated
and the city and harbor were also
Illuminated. but not as completely as
they will be later.
The entire population is given over
to holiday making. Fleet paymasters
today drew 100000 from the Sydney
banks. The store ship Glacier came
into port this evening.

NOTED RACE TRACK GOES.
The Brighton Beach Park Will Be
Made Into a City.

New York, Aug. 20.-The Brighton
Beach Racing association plan has
been sold to a land developing COM
pany and within a week laborers will
be at work cutting the famous race
course into streets and building lots.
Among the large and small business
men to whom the annual revenues de-
rived from the free spending crowds
that frequented the course were an
important factor in the success of their
enterprises there is evidence of much
gloom. The staggering blow which
racing received by the passage of the
anti-gambling bills was hard one for
the local hoteikeepers and merchants.
mate return of the old brisk days and
revival of racing interest at Brigh-
ton. With the abandonment of the
course and its transformation into a
home center, alishope of racing ever
again getting a foothold near the sea
has vanished.

The campaign Senator Long will

or not"
This is the way w. Y Morgan dis
cusses the proposed selection Of J. N
Dolley for chairman Of the Republican
state central committee:
I'VE notice that the Garden City
Telegram is somewhat worried over
the fact that the selection of Joe Dol
ley as chairman of the state central
committee will be an evasion of the
primary election law The Telegram
Is exactly right from a moral and tech
meal standpoint. The provision Of the
law requiring that chairman must
be selected from the membership of a
central committee was put in for the
avowed purpose of preventing the can
dldates naming chairman and making
1T so that the committeeman elected
by the people should do the business.
The intention was to keep men like
Mort Albaugh, Dave Mulvane and Joe
Dolley from being chairmen by request
campaigns they had managed.
But the prompt action of Mr.. Stubs
and Mr.. Dolley shows that a law drawn
for a purpose can be easily evaded
when 1t is advisable to lay that pur-
pose aside. There is no trouble at all
to sneak Mr.. Dolley under the canvas
and get him into the big show. Any
body who wants to evade the law on
this point in the future will have no
difficulty in doing so and in pointing
to this excellent authority as prece-
dent.
THE fact is that the provision re-
quiring the selection Of a chairman
from the membership of the committee
is a fool one and always was. Mr..
Stubs and Mr.. Dolley are entitled to
credit for having promptly shown how
easy it is not to obey the law when
you don't want to. Mr.. Dolley is nat
urally the right man to head the COM
mittee. He has a touch on the situa-
ton which no new man could get. His
loyalty to the ticket cannot be ques-
toned and as it is the duty of the
central committee to elect the ticket
the organization should be headed by
the chairman that the ticket wants.
The Telegram should understand
that while it may be wicked for old
style machine men to evade a law it is
all right for reformers to do so. Tor
they can do no wrong"

 THE DOG CATcHER-Nobody
 seems to hold a very high regard for the office of dog catcher or for any body who fills it, yet 1t should be re- membered by all that the dog catcher is a very necessary evil and that the functions of his office and his methods of administration have the warrant of regal SdHCtlOn ana ne IS personally clothed with authority and operates under the protection of the law A great many people imagine that he is simply licensed to kill and is turned loose to prey upon a worse evil which is of course, not my dog but the other fellows. It is a popular belief by a great many that so long as a dog is kept onr private premises it is mo- body's business and many who wish to evade the law keep their dogs locked up during the day and turn them loose at night to forage and bay at the moon. The fact is the dog catcher has no right to invade private premises and forcefully possess himself of fam fly canines. Nevertheless if he knows that dog is kept in a certain place and has no tag he can procure a war rant for the arrest of. the keeper on the charge of harboring an untagged dog. This will incur most likely some additional expense beside the buying of tag. The proper thing for dog owners to do is to obey the law and buy tags or dispose of the dog. By vigilance during the summer they may escape the tax but they are constantly liable to a fine and costs that would buy several dog tags.
