HOT SPRINGS. Va. July IS--In Hot
Springs. William Howard Taft has
struck an orthodox mountain resort. II
has bear story. Unless a mountain
resort in Virginia has a bear story. It
is safe bet that it is not worth the
price OF admission. It is considered
neither sufficiently mountain nor ade-
quately wild and rugged without a
blood-curdling, heart-depresing story of
bear adventure.
Mr. Taft has heard the story, and has
been greatly pleased with it, He now
has the pleasurable feeling that comes
from the anticipation OF a bear romping
UP and down his form while he is
chasing .,Of balls on the links. He also
is pleased because he known this is a
strictly orthodox resort. It has bears.
Another pleasant feature OF this par
ucular bear story is that ii IL laid
neither in the garish light OF the ball
room nor IN the softer glamour 6hat
suffuses the pool room. The bear neither
waltzed through a two-step, nor did il
balance itself picnlresquely on the bill
lard tables. This is a real bear story,
and it happened on top Of a real
mountain.
Hero Breaks Stiffness.
In fact. "a. Taft has It on high au-
thority thet Il happened on tip of q
mountain which, until the hero Of the
story appeared, had never been desc
Grated by the tread OF any living Ching
but the beasts Of the forests and that
noble Indian cfdeftain, Powhatan. Pow
hatah is the old fellow VINO narrowly
escaped killing one John Smith. and,
in spite of his failure to canse death,
originated what has como to be known
as the ''unWritten law"
According TO Virginia histoE, the
only other important thing Powhatan
ever did, in addition to establishing che
''unwritten law" was 10 skip merrily,
with tomahawk in hand and wigwams
on the back of his squaw, from noun
tain top TO mountain top. SO that Al.
Virginians OF future generations might
point TO any old mountain and Say:
'Powhatan once lived UP there"
Thus, II Is not 20 be gainsaid that
the virginia. stiffness of this mountain
has been trOd by no foot other than
those OF the beasts and the father of
trial without jury
Like the story. its hero was a fasci-
mating individual. He spent most of mis-
money on Decent puzzles. and used most
OF his time memOrizIng the wall paper

officials Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture today expressed ignorance Of any
dissatisfaction among the clerks in the
Bureau OF Statistics over the manner
o. keeping the efficiency records IN the
domestic crop report section, as has
been reported
Victor II. OImstead. chief Of the Bu-
reau OF Statistics. said today that there
had been no change in the efficiency
records used by the Department Of Az
riculture during his connection OF sew
eral yearE with the bureau
Il was also said in the Office OF the
chief CLERK OF the department that no
complaint had been presented by any
OF The clerks over the manner in which
their records were being rated. and that
no applications for transfers from the
Bureau OF Statistics had been received as
a result Of discomfort or revolt against
the manner in which the work IS being
conducted
c c. Clark. associate statisticisn,
who takes charge in the absence OF NJ
Olmsted. stated today that the only cx-
PLANTATION. so far as he was advised. for
the report, IS that some clerk may have
been confused about the purpose Of a
system installed several months ago.
BY which IL IS possible FOR the officials
OF the bureau 70 know every day the
status OF the work in hand.
This system IL Is said. is to prevent
any part OF the tabulation from get

TO HEARST
TO SUPPORT BRYAN
Nathan Straus, Friend of
Both, Said to Be
EmiSsary.

From Democratic sources comes the
tip that Nathan Streus. of New York
mutual and intimate friend OF both
Hearst and Bryan, has been entrusted
with the effort to convince the New
York publisher that he ought TO stand
by Bryan. Mr.. Straus. accord to
the story, undertook to see Mr. sarst
In France. to press the matter upon
him with the greatest vigor.
In the Hearst gubernatorial campaign
Mr.. straus wrote a vigorous letter in
favor OF the election of Mr.. Hearst.
which proved to Re only second to the
Root speech as an effective campaign
document For this and other reasons,
both political and personal, he was re-
garded as just the right man 70 make
the appeal to Mr.. Hearst.
Despite the utteraDoes Mr.. Hearst
has delivered. there is vet considerable
hope In inner Democratic circles that
Hearst viii ultimately be induced to
adopt such a course as will minimize
the injury the Independence ticket will
do Bryan; possibly even 20 secure the
Hearst Endorsement for the Bryan cam
paign. basing IL on the developments Of
the speeches and letters of accordance
from the two candidates. II is said 20 be
in large part because OF this pending ne
gotiations that the labor leaders are
making such special efforts TO keep the
labor vote from giving encouragement
TO the Independence movement at this
time.
Underneath the political surface.
therefore, a big tight IS now going on.
which is expected largely 20 determine
the character and effectiveness OF the
Independence League convention at
Chicago July y.
The Chicago League convention re-
ceIved little consideration at the hands
Of the Democratic delegates at Den
yer, but at Lincoln IL has been the sub
ject Of much concern. It is reported on
the authority OF people who spent some
time az Lincoln, both before and after
the Democratic convention. that the
Bryan people have not given up hope
OF getting Hearst TO modify his pro-
gram.
