The big bridge across the Savannah
river went down In the rush Of waters
and the dam at the locks seven miles
above the city collapsed, adding to
the flood.
The Associated Press correspondent

three deaths. two white persons and
one negro, but could not give any

McAlister, Okla, Aug. 2G.-More
than thirty miners were suffocated in
Haily-Ola coal mines No. / at Hally-
Vile, fourteen miles east of Meal
ester, this morning when fire destroyed
the hosting shaft and airshaft and
cut off the air from the men below.
Twenty eight dead bodies were
brought out tonight following a sue
cessful three hours battle with the
flames. 1t is believed that one or
two more win be found. Twenty
five mules were suffocated and some
of their bodies were burned,
Explorations IN the channels this
afternoon revealed the fact that none
of the men met death by burning, but
that all of them were suffocated. 1t
is impossible yet for the rescuefs to
get far from the base of the mine
shaft and it viii probably be twenty
four hours before a thorough search
of the entire mine can be made. Some
of the channels are three-quarters of
mile long.
After the entombed miners had
gone down on the cage, a fire broke
out. occasioned by the ignition of a
barrel OF oil whgh Il miner was try
ting to divide. 'ta%faames spread M
once to the hostlng shaft and the ali
shaft and all communication with the
shaft was at once cut off. With the
first intimation the people on top of
the ground had of the trouble was
smoke and flames coming out of the
top of the shaft Hundreds of the
miners rushed to the scene and tried
to get into the air shaft, but this
was impossible, as flames and smoke
were coming up that way with such
force as to drive them back. Then
an effort was made to operate the
cages running up and down the hoist
ing shaft, but 1t was found that the
cages, the cables and the guides had
been burned. There was absolutely
no help for the imprisoned miners.
The Haily-Ola is owned by James
Elliot and DR.. O. ID. Haily and num-
Der of Chicago and st. Louis capital
lists, among whom are several of the
directors of the Rock Island-FriscO
road. The property loss may reach
$50, 900 The mine Is one of the most
valuable in the southwest.

FINANCE
TAFT'S OPINION OF BANK
GUARANTY PROPOSITION
Would Promote Speculation
and Heavy Loss, All of Which
DepOSitors Would Ultimately
Pay Says Candidate.

IBy Morning journal Special Leased WIreI
Hot Springs. Va. Aug. 26.-"It puts
a premium ON reckless banking and
is an inducement to reckless banking"
Thus did Mr.. Taft this afternoon.
in response to a direct question, state
what was, in his opinion, the vital
objection to the proposed plan to
guarantee deposits in national banks.
THAT is the fundamental objec-
tion," he said. Relieved of the re-
sponsibility to and the fear of his de-
positors. the tendency would be to
induce exploitation. manipulation and
the use of assets of banks I'm a specu-
atve way. II would promote special
low bankers and that ultimately
means at the expense Of the deposit
ors. Any proposition as to the
amount of the tax that should be as
sessed, as based on the present rate
of loss Is on an erroneous basis, as
the danger Of loss OF deposits Is in
creased vastly by the proposed sys-
tenn, so thar the percentage of the
tax would have TO he vastly Increased
Mr.. Bryan did favor guaranty,
the government to raise the funds by
taxing the banks, but the democratic
platform provides for an enforced in
surance which compels all national
banks to contribute to the insurance
funds to meet the defaults Of the spec
ulators. | ann told that such a law
was in force in New York and that
the result was that when a panic en-
sued, the tax having been Improperly
calculated, there was not sufficient
funds to pay the loss but this have
only on the authority Of well known
writer on the subject"
There was some discussion here to-
day OF the position alleged TO have
been taken by senator Hopkins of IL
inois. that the policies OF presiden-
! tial candidate, so fak as they are not
contained in the party platform, are
not binding on the party Judge Taft
declined to mako the matter a contro-
versial one. II may be said, however.
that attention was called to the fact
that the rate bin that was recon-
mended to congress by Mr.. Roosevelt
was not specifically approved by the
republican platform of 1904, but that
II was adopted by republican con-
gress on his recommendation.
Colonel John McInerny, formerly
OF California and a colonel In the con-
federate army, who was a democratic
delegate at large from New Jersey in
1883, today gave out an interview
here, declaring that he will support
Mr. Taft in the campaign.
Congressman Slemp and National
Committeeman A. II. Martin of Vir-
ginia conferred with Mr. Taft today
about securing republican speakers to
stump the state of Virginia. They left
tonight for New York to further pur-
sue the matter with General Dupont.

HUGHES MUST FIGHT
HIS OWN BATTLE IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 26.-Chalrman +
II. Hitchcock OF the republican ma
tlonal committee declined today to
discuss the New York state primaries
with respect to any possible effect
they might have on the governorshlp
nomination and later on the national
ticket in New York. He insisted that
he had not committed himself In any
manner on the governorship and said
he did not think he was called upon
to do so. In regard TO the recent con-
ference at Oyster Pay. which gather
Ing was followed by statement from
James $. sherman, republican vice
presidential candidate. that the pre-
ponderance Of opinion there was IA
vorable to Mr.. Hughes, Mr. Hitchcock
said:
Mr.. sherman stated explicitly that
no determination of the cove. E hip
matter was affected.
1T Is not expected that the views
OF any OF the republican leaders who
participated in the discussion at the
presidents summer home win be al
tered by the fact that number OF
counties In the primaries expressed
themselves In opposition to the gov
ernor.
Thus far the republican national
committee has taken no stand IN the
Hughes matter. The governor has not
been Invited to speak In the national
campaign, and II Is said that no lnvi-
taiion viii be extended to him until
after the New York state convention.

Hughes has TO speak at Youngstown.

rupt, and 1t was a good thing TO have
a change. His remarks have a larger
application than he made of them
that day, and If party in a state will
get in a position where a change is
necessary, or even desirable, l want to
say to you that when you apply it to
a national party. the reason for a
change is still greater; for the farth-
er many get away from home, the
more apt they are to forget the peO-
pie at home and these republicans
in national offices have been serving
far away from home and they have
forgotten the struggling masses at
home.
TN our platform we declared that
the overshadowing issue was shall
the people ruler Mr. Taft says that
they do rule. That is a question about
which there is a difference of opinion.
All who think they do not rule will
differe from Mr.. Taft; all who think
they do rule will differ from me.
Mr.. Sherman said that the people do
rule. He ought to know better for
he has been one of the fellows who
has kept them from ruling In the
house of Representatives he has been
one of the men responsible for the
thwarting of the will of the people,
l lay down the proposition that the
American people do not rule. They
do not conduct their own govern
ment and a government conducted
by others is not responsible to the
will of the people. Now, if | am
right, Mr.. Taft is wrong, and Mr..
Sherman is wrong. When they say
that the people do rule they admit
that the people ought to rule and IL
they admit that the people ought to
rule, IL l can convince the country
that the people do not rule, then we
are entitled to a verdict at this elec-
tion and l am willing to meet the
issue'
Mr.. Bryan then discussed the pub
licity of campaign contribution planks
contained in the democratic platform
saying that the contributions from
the great favor seeking corporations
had been used to put into power peo-
pie, who when in power, were obli-
gated and mortgaged to the men who
helped them.
There are men in this audience
today" he said, who have learned
within five years that the money they
were paying to insurance companies
was in part given to the republican
campaign fund to help carry elec-
tions.
Mr.. Bryan also said that the pres
ent rule of the house of representa-
tiyes destroys the opportunity of the
people controlling their own govern
ment and charged that they had con-
verted that popular branch of the
government into a despotism. He
also discussed the tariff and trust
questions, outlining his remedies Civ
en- in the Des Moines and Indianapo-
lis speeches. He left at $3.50 o'clock
