PLEASURE At HEADQUARTERS

Chicago, Sept 22.-President Roose-
velt will make trip through the West
in the interest of the republican ma
tional ticket, similar in respect and ex-
tent to that which Mr. Taft began last
night.
Official announcement to this effect
came from the national headquarters
tonight following a short conference.
in which Mr.. Taft Chairman Hitch
cock. Secretary Hayward and other in
huential members of the republican ma
tional committee We're participants
Chairman Hitchcock did not affirm
nor deny the strongly grounded report
that the President was to take the
stump and make a whirlwind tour of
the Missis sippi Valley and states fur
ther west, but the general impression
here prevailed so strongly among the
republican leaders who were in Chicago
tonight that it became an accepted
fact that the presidential hike"
through the West will begin shortly
after Mr.. Taft returns from his speak
ing tour.
With such news as this republican
headquarters tingled with business and
interest. The approach of the presiden-
tial nominee and the visit of President
Roos evelt sent an entirely new spirit
through the campaign mana cement and
when Mr.. Taft came into the head
quarters door. with a genial smile of
recognition, the smile broadened into
a regular grin as he gazed around upon
the battalion of clerks and stenograph-
ers who were cording up a stack of
campaign ammunition.
Fred w. Upham. assistant treasurer
of the national committee, was called
into the conference between the nom
inee, the national chairman and Secre-
tary Hayward. What transpired there
in was not discussed subsequently.
Nebraska appears to be the dark
and bloody ground" of the present cam
paign. There was an ill-concealed feel
ing of worry at the headquarters over
the reports which came from the Ne
braska state convention Tuesday.
where there was more or less narrow
escape from approval of the bank guar
antee ideas of Mr.. Bryan.

Ean Howard Taft, the republican can
dldate for the presidency of the United
States addressed about 1,20O citizens
of lake county here yesterday after
moon from the platform of his special
and confidence of every member of the
vast assembly. His assurances of sue
cess at the polls were numerous and in
all, his appearance was the signal for
such an Outburst of republican and
democratic enthusiasm alike as has
never before been witnessed in this
city. Men of national reputation have
visited Indiana Harbor and have Wis

impressed with the cOrdIaIity of the
people. Mr.. Taft did still more, he
spoke for but seven minutes and
won the heart and votes of the repre-
sentative men of this section of the
county.
CROWD IS VERY LARGE.
The Taft special train drew around
the Harbor bend at exactly 3:46 o'clock.
1t was gayly decorated with pennants
and American flags, while large litho-
graphs of Taft and Sherman adorned
the pilots. Owing to the uncertainty
that Taft would speak, it had not been

The city's attorneys contend that the

appropriation equal in amount to the
cost of the furniture, had been passed
through the council records. This has
been done, they declare, and bids asked
for the furniture contracts Although
Andrews bid was much higher than
some of the others, the councilmen, af-

was signed and has been approved by

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 24-The
friends of county local option won
their first big fight in the state Iegis-
lature yesterday afternoon when the
measure advocated by Governor HanIy
and the Anti-SaIoon league, and intro
duced by Senator Linton A. Cox of
Marion county, passed the upper house
by vote of 81 to IL.
The democrats to man voted against
the bill. Three republican joined the
democrats and the senate chamber
echoed with the word mo- when their
names were called The republicans
who voted against the bill, as forecast
ed several days ago, were:
Martin NJ. Hugg, Marion county
Edgar Durre, vanderburg county
William Gonnermann, Gibson and
Posey counties.
Crucial Test Expected.
The crucial test for county option
is expected to come today Before an
other nightfall the outcome of the
battle between the temperance and
liquor forces, which has been waged
with intense heat since last Friday,
may become definitely known.
The House of Representatives is now
the theater of conflict, and the fight is
so close that a majority of more than
two either for or against. the bill would
surprise close observers who are
watching the influences at work in the
lower branch of the assembly.
1t is now a hand-to-hand struggle.
with the brewery lobby surprising all
records for industry and nervy per-
formances. With the lobby's increased
activities there has come an outcrop-
ping of ugly rumors. fortified by evi-
dence of more or less eircumstantiaI
character. A corps of detectives was
busy yesterday shadowing the prin-
cipal actors in the brewery combine.
and every rumor that promises to yield
pay dirt is being investigated
Among the stories being investigated
is one to the effect that a certain rep
resentative wrote to a member of the
brewers lobby arranging the prelim-
inaries for deal" This representa-
tive is now lined up for county local
option. Information from seemingly
direct sources leads to the belief that
several members of the legislature
have been playing with fire, so to
speak.
Policy Brewers Hope VIII Win.
The brewers and their allies pin their
faith on being able to administer a
death blow TO county local option in
the House today by securing the adop-
ton of report indefinitely postponing
this legislation. Their program in de-
tail is as follows:
Observation-Disclosures to postpone
the bill and prevent a record vote on
it's merits.

WAS Determined
TO GET killed
Japanese Run Over By
HaIeiwa Special
At Kaena

After making two attempts to COM
nit suicide by being run over by one
of the o. X. & l.. Co. S trains, Mayeda
Nikichi. Japanese, last night finally
succeeded in losing his life under the
wheels of the locomotive. Deputy
Sheriff Gilliand of Waianae, who has
charge Of the case, came to town this
morning and gave the facts as fol-
lows:
The accident took place near the
Kaena Point, on the other side of Ma
kua. When the Haleiwa Limited
| train was on its run down to Hale
iva to get its load of excursionists
Engineer Lee noticed a Japanese ly-
ing on the track near Kaena Point.
He stopped the train, and the crew
hurriedly hustled the man out of the
way, wherein the train proceeded to
Haleiwa.
On the return trip the engineer,
! thinking that the man might make
another attempt, kept sharp look
'h's pu' " VI lhlh
him from seeing very far ahead As
consequence the engine ran over
the japanese, who this time had chos-
en- place nearer the point than on
the former occasion, and before the
accident could be averted he was kill
ed.
The mans head was crushed and
his arms and legs badly lacerated.
The train stopped and the remains
were taken on board and carried ia
Waianae, whore they were turned
over to the police. Gilliland found
in the dead mans pocket papers
which showed that his name was
Mayeda Nikichl, and that he had at
one time worked at the Eva planta-
ton. Nothing further has been
learned about him SO far. A cOro-
ner's inquest will be held at Waianac
tomorrow.

BUTTE POWER COMPANY.

John D. Ryan, managing director 0. the Amalgamated Copper company and presumed to represent H. H. Rog- CTS, the Rockefellers and associates, has purchased $500 acres additions land between Great Falls and the falls of the Missouri river where they as quired nearly all of the water and power rights some time ago This last purchase gives the Ryan people complete ownership of the river front ana tremendous power. They will build two immense dams on the river and furnish electric power for yers large portion of the industries and mines of Montana. Two power lines will be built to Butte, and electric power furnished all of the Anal gamated and other mines that Gas, be supplied. Contracts have already been made for furnishing electric pow CT to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, which will operate its trains over the Rocky mountain coun- try by electricity as soon as the power can be furnished and the road electri- fled. Electricity will be used by the St. Paul road over large port oI Western Montana and through Idaho.
 The power company owned by MT. Ryan and his associates is one of the most important in the west, and they are investing several million dollars in it. The company was formerly owned by James J. Hill, the railway magnate, but it was taken off his hands by the Ryan-Rogers-Ro people.
