NEW CURRENCY Bill {!
Wall Street Hears Report That
Chairman OF Commission Has
Changed His Attitude
WOULD AMEND PRESENT LAWS
AIdrich Declared to Be in Favor Of
Some Changes in Aldrich- vreeIand
Measure - Monetary Commission
Preparing to Start on Tour Of In
vestisation in Europe.

New York, Aug. 1.-For several days
members of the national monetary
commission appointed at the last ses-
sion of congress to devise plans for
currency legislation and composed of
nine senator's and nine congressman,
have been in the city making prepara-
tions1for their trip to Europe to study
foreign banking conditions and confer
with bankers there.
As a result it become known in Wall
street that Senator Aldrich, at the
head of the commission, has come to
hold the opinion that the upshot' of the
commissions studies will be not to
promulgate a new currency measure
entirely, bat simply to make additions
and improvements to the present So
called Aldrich- Vreeland law. In bank
ing circles the news of this opinion
has been received with great lnteress.
for it is recognized that as the head
of the commission and sponsor for the
currency bill, his words will have greas :
weight. There is, of course, disap-
pointment of the extreme kind among
many leading bankers over the outlook
as limited by this situation, but the
hope is still entertained that as re-
suit of Aldrich's investigation of Eu-
ropean banking methods and its cur
rency system, he may experience a
change of heart.

-n1issiofler Proudfit, of the general land

land offices at Cass Lake and at Du-
luth, for the opening at a. M, Sept.
49, of 1925 acres of land formerly
included in the Cass Lake, the Chip
pewaslof Mississippi, the Fond du Lac.
the Leech Lake, the Red Lake and the
Winnibigashish reservations. Part Of
these lands were classed as agricultural
under the terms of the Nelson and
Morris acts and part of the lands were
formerly included in the Minnesota
forest reservation and restored to en-
try under the acr of tho last session Of
congress.
All of these lands are subject to en-
try under the homestead laws, and
settlers will be required to pay $1.25 an
acre in five annual installments. Entry
men will have to pay the usual fees
and commissions, and those who enter
land in the former Red Lake reserva-
ton will have to pay, in addition, three
cents an acre to cover the cost of
drainage survey made by the govern
ment several years ago.
Lands in the Fond du Lac and the
Red Lake reservation will not be sub
ject to settlement prior to the hour of
opening, named above, and the claims
of "sooners" will not be recognized,
The Northern Pacific right-of-way ex-
tends over the Fond du Lac reservation
and entries for tracts over which 1t
passes will be subject thereto.
Printed lists Of lands to be opened
are being prepared and when ready
may be obtained from local officers at
Cass Lake and Duluth or from the gen.
eral land office here.
An important provision to be in
Guided in patents to be issued is one

tional committee as the basis OF the

mated, it will cost the curious voters
$3.50 for a course of instruction in

The members of the national com
mittee are jubilant over the scheme
seeing in 1t prospects of a campaign,

unless the public does not go to the
meetings. This contingency, in the
opinion of the committee, ihag--been
provided for ably.

Taken From Jail at Russell
vile and Strung Up ina
Row
APPROVED KILLING OF WHITES
Negroes Were Members Of colered
Lodge Which Had Expressed PIeas-
sure Because Negro Tenant Killed
His LandIord-offic Surprised and
Offer no Resistance.

Russellville, KY, Aug. -Four N.Y.
groes, Virgil, Tom and Robert Jones,
and Joe Riley, were taken from the
Jail here early today and hanged to =
tree on the edge of town.
No shots were fired, by the mob.
which was composed Of about fifty
men. The people of the town knew
nothing of the affair until daylight re-
vealed the four bodies dangling from
a tree. The following note was found
pinned on one of the bodies:
Let this be a warning to you nig-
gers to let the white people alone or
you will go the same way. Hugh
Rogers better shut up or quit"
The negroes lynched were members
of a lodge and at a meeting recently.
it is said, they approved the murder Of
James Cunningham, white farmer,
lby his negro tenant.
Lynehing Was Unexpected.
The negroes had been in jail several
days, and while there had been con-
siderable unrest since the attempt on
the part Of the mob to take the slayer
of Cunningham from Jail some nights
ago, no real trouble was anticipated
and there was no guard around the
prison. The mob came into town SO
quietly that not one of the residents
was awakened from slumber. Pro-
ceeding at once toAthe county Jail.
Jai1er Jack Butts was summoned to-
the door. When he made his appear
ance he found himself covered by rifles
and shot guns and was given the
command to turn over the keys Of the
jail or be shot down. After a short
parley with the members OF the mob,
in which he tried to persuade them to-
go away without doing any violence.
he finally was forced to hand over the
keys.
Strung Up in Row.
The mob then entered the Jail and
finding the four negroes, forced them
to go with them. Two of them, not be-
ing given time to dress. were taken
along in their night shirts, and the
whole party proceeded at once to a
tree at the outskirts of the city, where
the negroes were strung ZIP in row..
The mob dispersed as soon as it had
finished its work. There is no clue
to the members Of the band, as the
jailer was the only person who saw
them and he could not recognize them.

1t really looks like the Hearst party
would be third in the running this
year, nationally, and if SO, it may hold
race between Taft and Bryan should
be close i'll several of the so-called
pivotal states where Hearst has a
strong following.
Bryan Saw 1t Coming.
Tho Hearst newspapers in New
York, Chicago. Boston, San Francisco
and Los Angeles, will make an aggres-
sive tight against both Taft and Bry-
an. and all the time they will be
pointing out that the Taft people are
the conservatives of the country, and
that the Bryan people are feeble im1-
tators of them. For the purposes of
the independence league campaign,
that was a happy phrase which Mr.
Hearst struck off in his keynote speech.
when he referred to the republicans
as being merely obstructive and to
the democratic party as being mere
ly destructive. He will claim that his
party will be neither but will occupy
the safe. middle ground between these
two extremes.
1t thus seems likely that Bryan has
much more to fear from the Hearst
movement. which will seek out the
advanced" members of the demo-
cratic party than Taft has to fear in
a loss of conservative republicans to
the Hearst movement No doubt II
was this thought that was in MI
Bryans mind when, thru the Com
moner and in other ways, for months
prior to the Denver convention, ne
was doing his level best to persuade
the Hearst people to come once more
to the support of the democratic pres
idential ticket.

"B,LL" TAFT LICKED AN EDITOR.
When Young, Thrashed Publisher Who
SIandered His Father.

Cincinnati, Aug. 1.-One of the hrSt
things the people Of Cincinnati tell you
about William H. Tafts younger days
is how he whipped an editor who SLAM
dered his father. They will give you
all the details and poipt out the very
spot where the encounter occurred.
And it is an interesting story, even
if it has been told many times, for 1T
shows that despite his prominence IN
governmental affairs, and the success
he has won on the bench and in the
public service, Taft, after all, is but
a real, -blooded man. just like
other men with the faults and short
comings of the average person.
This fight occurred many years ago,
back about 1880, when Will Taft was
the law reporter on the Cinclnnatl
Commercial. AT that time there -four
ished in this state several weekly pub
lications of the most depraved type,
papers that long since have been put
under the ban of the governments s
prohibition and debarred from the
mails. and whose editors, at least some
of them. have served deserved terms
in the penal institutions of the state.
They were not newspapers, but puo-
LEGATIONS that dealt only in filth. filled
their columns with the dirtlest ana
most repugnant scandal, some OF IL
true. but most of it the imaginings
of a disordered brain.
A man named Rose published one OF
these papers in Cincinnati under the
title of the Night Hawk. In one issue
he published a scandal rejecting upon
the personal character OF Alphonso
Taft, former attorney general OF the
United States, and the father OF Will
lam H. Taft. The sons of Alphonso
knew very we'll that this was not
case for the courts, that Rose was an
irresponsible person, and to get a
judgment against him would have no
effect whatever. The only way to deal
with snakes of this type was by me
use of physical force, and Bill Taft had
that. He. and his brother Charles r.
went hunting for Rose and they found
him at the now historic corner or Fifth
and Vine streets.
There were few preliminaries Bill
shed his coat and handed it to Charles
to hold and then sailed into the editor
man. History does not state whether
Rose put up a fight or not, but 1t Is
probable that he did, and that this
brought down upon him an even sever
er beating than he otherwise would
have received. At all events, he got the
worst thrashing that any man ever had
on the streets of Cincinnati Bill Taft
literally pounded him to a pulp, beat
him to a jelly, knocked him down and
pushed his face into the dirt Of the
street. 1t was complete job, and
when Taft had finished there remained
nothing more to be done in the way OF
punishment unless it was to be capital
punishment.
Rose recovered, but the career of the
might Hawk" ended there. Never
again was it issued, and the people Of
Cincinnati have felt that they owed a
debt Of deep gratitude to young Taft
for Kidding them Of this pest. 1t is
quite probable however, that Taft him
self had no thought of doing public
service when he whipped Rose.
