BAILEY TO MEXICO
Junior Senator of Texas Side
steps Hearing of Pierce
Oil Case.
DECLINES TO BE COUNSEL.

Galveston, Texas, Oct, Ex-senator
Bailey of Texas, who served as attor-
ney for the Waters Pierce Oil Company
when it was re-admitted to operate in
Texas, after having been ousted as a
member of the oil trust, will not repre-
sent Clay Pierce when he is brought
back to Texas to stand trial for false
swearing in connection with the re-
admission. 1t is reported that for good
and sufficient reasons the senator has
planned a hunting trip to Mexico in or
DER to be out of the state when the
head of the Waters-Pierce branch OF
the Standard Oil Company is on trial.
Senator Bailey claims to have been
planning for this big game hunt for
two years and had completed his ar
rangements before the supreme court
announced its decision. which forces
Pierce to come to Texas. 1t is under
stood in state political circles that the
junior senator has other reasons for
declining to serve as counsel for
Pierce.

New York, Oct. 24-Overdrafts by

the former Ice Trust head and Alfred
H. Curtis in the federal court. Edward

developments in Morse's financial sys-

Charles M. Schwab, who had been di-
rector of the concern, and Morgan J.
O'Brien, Morse counsel, waited their
turn on the witness stand. Mr.. Schwab
when finally called, admitted during
the time he was on the board of the
bank, he only attended four or FIVE
meetings. When asked if he ever know,
prior to October Is, 1907, that Morse
had overdrawn his account, strenuous
objection was made by the attorneys
for the defense and after a long fight
was decided. Mr.. Schwab must reap

Bryan says the people shall rule" said
the speaker. well don't they rule
every place except in those states
where he expects to win the largest
part of the electoral vote?" was asked.
Mr.. Griffths continued:
Democracy comes forward this
year with what it conceives to be a
new proposal-the guarantee Of bank
deposits But 1t is not new proposal
at all. New York state had the same
system of guarantees from 1926 to
1912. In that period, under the very
law that Mr.. Bryan proposes now as
final cure, SO many banks failed that
the state had to advance 81, ZOO, 900 to
make restitution and the solvent banks
of the state were engaged for twenty
years In paying back to the state the
money thus advanced. The Republican
party believes that initiative, honest,
business foresight and acumen and the
confidence Of the public in individuals
| is the best guarantee of a bank stabfl-
ity. The banker is the man, after all,
and not the law behind him. The Dem
ocratic law would put a premium upon
the fraudulent and reckless bankers
who engaged in business with the as
surance that If their banks failed their
losses would be paid. When it comes
to a. point where the whole United
States must take lesson from Oklahoma
in methods of government, isn't it time
that the country go out Of the state
making business? Already men in
Oklahoma who are disqualified in other
states are starting banks with the as
surance that if they fail or get away
with the proceeds their losses will be
made good by other banks in the state.
am informed by man who lives in
Oklahoma that within the last few
weeks a bank has been established
there by two former convicts with a
capital of $1,000.
THE Republican party believes In
postal savings banks. and it believes
further that wherever possible, and
this will be possible in practically
every case. the funds from a given
neighborhood shall be deposited in that
neighborhood, thereby giving the peo-
pie who deposit the money the benefit
of it's earning power and its presence"
"All antitrust legislation is due to
the republicans" proclaimed Mr.. Crit
fiths. Many trusts have been dis
solved and many others forced to re-
organize under the limitations of
their power The democratic attorney
general declared the Sherman anti
trust law unconstitutional 1t was be-
lieved the constitution would have to
be amended before the trust problem
could be remedied. 1t was proposed
to submit the subject to the will of
the people and every republican voted
for the measure and every democrat
against it. Do the democratic remed-
les satisfy the judgment of men? Are
they real, are they just and do they
mean a greater danger than what
they try to correct?"

Denver, July 7-Tammany has out.
Bryaned Bryan. 1t has decided tc
present to the resolutions committee
the most radical platform ever sug'
gested from the east.
The sub committee of the New
York delegation, named to confer on
the plan6s New York desires, favored
practically all the suggestions made
by the American Federation of La
Dor, and especially those favoring
the anti-injunction.
Bryan's friends are furious, and
openly assert Tammany is trying to
embarrass him. He does not desire
to go so far as to prohibit the use Of
injuncti0ns, but he does want to regu-
yate II.
The Tammany men let the cat Out

and we need the labor vote. If Bry-
ans friends oppose us We will put

San Francisco, July 7.-Between
shore lines banked with thousands of
cheering people and to martial ac-

which belched forth their deafening
farewells from Fort Baker and Fort

through Golden Gate this afternoon
and stood out to sea in a magnificent
ly Imposing line on its course toward
Hololulu and the distant seas of the
far east.
The passing of the battleship fleet
through the Golden Gate witnessed
not only the beginning of the last
long leg of its circumnavigating
cruise, but is also the first of a series
of movements of the nations war yes

Chances Good for Riot.
(By Henry z. Eland. Correspondent
United Press,)


(By Henry E. Eland. Correspondent
United PressO
At ii appears today the chances
are good that there will be regular
old democratic rioting over the nam
ing of the vice presidential candi-
date. OF the half hundred aspirants
and receptive" candidates, the two
most prominently mentioned are
Representative Ollie James of Ken
lucky, and Charles A. Towne, former
ly of Minnesota and now of New
York
There are one or two absolute facts
connected with the situation. One
is that if the delegates from New York
will, or can, unite upon a candidate
that man will be nominated. If New
York does not desire to avail itself
of this privilege, Bryan will indicate
a choice, and whoever he names will
be nominated. Another fact is that
even many radicals are desirous Of
naming conservative for the place.
George Fred Williams of Massa-
chusetts, responsible for James be-
cause he would cinch the southern
vote and is a great orator.
There is a strong suspicion that
Murphy of Tammany, has an under
standing with Bryan on the vice pres
idency. There is even a stronger sus-
picion that Bryan favors Towne. 1t
is reported that Thomas F. Grady, the
orator has been selected
to place Towne in nomination.
Forcing Exclusion Plank.
An attempt to force the coast de-
fense and anti-Japanese planks into
the platform is being made by Thomas
]. Casey, secretary of the Bryan vol
unteers in Seattle.
Casey has prepared two resolu-
tons which the Washington delega-
ton may bring before the committee |
on resolutions, one says, Oriental la
borers are employed by the thousands |
in every branch of labor on the coast, |
thereby reducing wages and depriv-
ing American citizens of means of |
a livelihood.
The resolution favors the enactment
of law preventing the immigration |
If Oriental laborers.
The other resolution says it Is i'm
