SWIISHER READY
TO AID THE PARTY
Comes 10 Headquarters and
Offers Freely His
Services.

Hon. Charles w. Swisher. secretnry
Of state, and who Withdrew as the
Republican candidate for governor.
that his party might be, harmonized
and united to make victorious fight
against the common enemy, has arr
rived at Republican state i1eadauar-
tiers in this city, and offered his serv-
Ices to the committee in rounding up
his following and cementing the party
organization.
Mr., Swisher, however, did not walt
TO begin work until he arrived here.
but started last week. when at big
meeting or the Taft Club in Charles
ton last Saturday night, lie delivered
n speech In which he pledged his
active support and'>co-operation for
the success of the ticket Those who
witnessed the ovation given him Mt
that meeting and heard his patriotic
address. say that 1t was one OF the
most impressive and dramatic Incl
dents they have ever witnessed at a
political meeting.
From now on till the close OF
the campaign" said Mr.. Swisher to
reporter today. my services are at
the disposal of the state committee.
No work that they may demand of
me will be too hard for me to per-
form, and no campaign journeys that
may be required of me will be too
long or hard for me to undertake.
There is work for me to do for the
good of the party. as there is work
for every individual party patriot to
perform that reunited and har-
monious party may be brought about
and a triumphant victory for the par
ty at the polls in November assured.
Now is the time. and now Is the OPP
portunity at hand. for every loyal,
patriotic party man, no matter what
may have been his alliapces in the
past. to stand up valiantly for the
party's principles and candidates, and
give of his time. his money and his
ability for the good Of the great po-
ltical organization which they love.
Political parties. like governments
and armies, require sacrifices of its
citizens and soldiers at crucial times.
and this is one of the times when the
Republican party demands and ex-
poets personal sacrifices of Its mem
hers in West Virginia. That this
mandate OF the party will be cheer
fully complied with 1 feel sure, and I
feel absolutely certain and sure that
there will be sweeping Republican
victory in West Virginia on the third
day of November next"

DAKOTA
VOTERS UNITED
On the Candidacy Of William
Howard Taft for
President.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Sept. 2s-
Both factions presenting united front
to the opposition. Republican leaders
here scoff at the Democratic claim
that South Dakota Will, this fall
swing into the Democratic column.
Bryan carried South Dakota in 1896
by less than 200 majority, but he lost
In 1900 by majority of 1900.
In 1904 South Dakota with all the
other states in the West was engulf-
ed in the Roosevelt tidal wave.
South Dakota Republicans have
engaged in fractional strife for several
years. but for all practical purposes
they are united today. The so-called
'insnrgent" wing of the party. or as
its leaders term It. the progressive
wing of the party. led by Governor
Crawford and Senator Robert j.
Gamble. are Loyalty supporting the
ticket of Taft and Sherman. The
sam ething is true OF the StalS
warts. who acknowledge the leader
ship of such men as. Senator Albert
B. Kittredge and former Representa-
tives Eben w. Martin and Charles
H. Burke.
It should be pointed out in this
connection that both factions are
represented on the state ticket and
that both are loyalty supporting the
national ticket.
In the primaries held in June. Gov
ernor Crawford was successful in
his fight against Senator Kittredge.
Should the Republicans, carry. the
Legislature. Crawford will succeed
Kittredge in the upper house of con-
gress. On the other hand. Messrs.
Martin and Burke, who were defeat
ed in the primaries in 1906, were
successful this year. While the Pro-
gressives captured first place on the
state ticket the Stalwarts have rep
resentatives on 1t. The battle be-
tween the two .facti@ns in the pri-
maries in June was drawn one, in
a measure. inasmuch as each OF
them captured share of the nomin=
atoms.
Friends OF Senator Kittredge en-
phatically deny the reports that have
been circulated that he is sulking in
his tent and is Indifferent as to the
outcome in South Dakota so far as
the state ticket Is concerned. His
supporters declare that under no cir
cumstances will the Senator permit
anyone to knife the state ticket, and
that there never has been any ground
to questiin his loyalty as a party
man.
Furthermore. the friends of Gov
ernor Crawford resent the imputa-
ton that he is disloyal to Taft be-
cause of his advocacy of bank depos-
its guaranty proposition. or that there
is any danger of any of his following
deserving to the Bryan standard in
November.

A milkman whose name the police could
not learn was driving past the six story
apartment house occupied by twenty-five
families at SO7 and 800 South Third street,
Williamsburg, early yesterday morning
when he saw that it was on fire. He tried
to enter the building and found the halls
filed with smoke, but he made his way
up the stairs shouting al the TOP OF his
voice Many Of the ICONS had become
filled with smoke and the tenants became
panicky.
On the third floor the milkman found
the wife and five children Of Jacob Kirchner
nearly overcome by smoke and after help
ing them down through the smoke filed
hall and stairs to the street he returned
TO the same floor and assisted the wife and
three children OF Macmillan Rothman.
With the aid Of several citizens he helped
out other tenants.
In the rear on the ground floor Harris
Zimmerman, a rabbi; his wife, Rosie, and
their three children were found unconscious
by fremen, who carried them 10 the street.
The iremen also took down from an upper
floor two children who had measles.
The fire was soon eXtinguished and an
investigation showed that it had started
near the airshaft and a wood bin. II was
considered 80 suspicious that Fire Marshal
Beers was notified. Within two months
there have been several suspicious fires

FOUND SOME BALLOTS LOOSE
In storage, -Four Of which Appeared TO
Have been Voted Others Blank.


John T. Dooling, who succeeded John r
Voorhis as president Of the Board Of Flee
lions on January 1, 1907, was the chief wit
ness yesterday at the trial before Justice
Lambert and a jury Of the suit brought by
Attorney-General Jackson to Dust Mayor
Mcclellan and install William r., Hearst as
Mayor. MIR. Dooling, who was a lawyer
employed in the Office Of Alton b. Parker
NlcClellan's personal counsel in the pre-
liminary recount proceedings, until he got
John II. yoorhis's job, testified that he and
Eugene Lamb Richards, who Ia conducting
the trial for Mcclellan, went in January
last TO the warehouse where the Manhattan
ballot boxes have been stored.
He identified a couple Of photographs Of
the loft. One Of these showed several tiers
Of boxes stacked up against the walls and
a lot Of papers lying on the floor in front Of
the boVes.
Dooling testified that he had found the
floor Of the loft, which has been under his
charge as president Of the board and under
the seal OF the Board Of Elections, strewn
with what appeared TO be voted ballots,
some torn and crumpled, others merely
lOlded ana dirty, some, ne SAID, were
Republican, but most appeared to be Demo
cratic ballots, and one Of the latter he found
under the steam radiator. Others he found
In a barrel.
Under cross-eXamination by Deputy
Attorney-General Dolson he admitted that
he couldn't swear to seeing more than four
voted ballots, two Of which he thought were
Democratic, one Republican and one lnde-
pendent. He had no idea how they ca me
to be living on the floor and couldn't give
any definite information concerning them.
He thought that a good many Of the papers
lying around the floor we're unvoted ballots.
The floor In the warehouse where the boxes
we're stored was also used for storing away
unused and emergency p%araphernalia OF
the elections bureau, including extra or un-
voted ballots.
The other witnesses Of the day included
Policemen Hughes and Quinn, who told Of
the removal OF the ballot boxes 20 the ware
house. They we're both certain that the
boxes we're in good shape and practically
intact, unless In some Isolated instances
where the gummed labels had dried loose.
These labels we're regummed, but in no in
stance, they said. were there any boxes
in such shape that ballots could be removed
from them or others inserted. John W.
Noble, clerk Of the board in Manhattan.

Prof. Burgess Would Have England, Ger
many and the United states Leagued.
Prof. John W. Burgess OF Columbia Uni
Versity, Roosevelt professor to Germany,
made an address at the celebration Of
Shakespeare's birthday at the Arion So
ciety in Park avenue last night on The
Principal Questions Of Present Day Ameri-
can Politics.
Prof. Burgess made the chief feature Of
his address an appeal for a new triple ALI
ance between the United States, England
and Germany for the preservation Of the
worlds peace and the peaceful settlement
Of the Far Eastern question.
-Such an alliance said Prof. Burgess,
would unite the three great Teutonic
peoples, which are the richest and most ad-
vanced in civilization in the world and pro-
vide a combination which could guarantee
the peace Of the world and the orderly
progress Of civilization for years to come.
England, with her position in Asia, her
navy and her alliance with japan. Germany
with her army, the United States with it's
newly acquired and growing prestige as
one Of the great nations-no stronger or
more rational alliance Of nations could be
made-nor one which could exert a stronger
and more continuous influence for the
orderly yet steady progress Of civilization. >
Prof. Burgess devoted the remainder OF
his talk TO a discussion Of internal questions
Of American politics. He approved OF the
tendency toward national Capitalization
and advocated liberal Interpretation Of
tho Constitution in the powers given TO
the central government. The judiciary,
declared lrof. burgess, was properly
placed above the legislative and executive
branches Of the Government. He declared
for Federal regulation Of the trusts.

Some Odd Romances of Millions
How Famous Steel Kings Made Their
Enormous Fortunes.

I ed, Why not first burn out all the
| carbon, and then pour back the exact
| quantity that you need?' This was a
simple device. but no one had thought
of it before
The man who took the invention of
Kelly and Bessemer into his hands
developed it into one of the wonders
of the world, and made the Carnegie
millions. was Captain William r.
Jones-''Bilr' Jones, as he was known
who seemed to live with the sole
desire of topping over the idea that
England owned the steel trade. He
could have been a millionaire many
times over, but he cared little for
money. When he was offered a part
nership, he replied:
mo, Mr.. Carnegie, don't know any
thing about business and I don't want
to be bothered with it. I've got trouble
enough here in these works. I'll tell
you what you can do"-these We're his
exact words-'you can give me a
laundering big salary
After this, captain" replied Car
negie, you shall have the salary of
the President of the United States
$25, 000'
The famous scrap heap policy was
originated by Jones. He did not be-
lieve in waiting until his machinery
was worn out. The moment that an
Improvement was invented, old ma
chinery was dragged to the scrap heap,
and the latest devices put in its place.
He made the shareholders gasp on sew
eral occasions by asking permission to
smash up 100000 worth of machinery
that was as good as new but outgrown.
Jones died, as he had lived, in the
midst of an industrial battle at the
head of his men. He was killed in an
accident in the company's works.
Carnegie, looking upon poor Jones as
he lay in the hospital, sobbed like a
child"

partners was Charles NJ. Schwab. His
