Democratic Candidate Says the Tide
Is Strong His Way.

Chicago, Oct. 8.--Plans for the final
weeks of the Democratic campaign
were outlined and discussed at a con-
ference between William j. Bryan and
Norman E. Mack, chairman of the
Democratic national committee. The
conference was held in Mr. Bryan's
room, where he rested for a couple of
hours on his arrival here from Iowa.
Mr.. Bryan said that he felt convinced
that the tide was still running strong
for the Democratic ticket. In a state
ment regarding conditions in the West,
where he had been speaking for the
last two weeks, Mr.. Bryan said
There is no state in the West
where the changes are not in favor of
our party and the reports that we get
are not only encouraging but they are
increasingly encouraging. That is,
the reports are more favorable now
than they were one month ago and
one month ago they were more favor
able than they were two months ago
Everything we heard from the East
increases the confidence that the Dem
ocrats feel In the success Of the
ticket"

TAFT IS ONE OF

Deep Waterways Convention
Opens at Chicago.

In General, Naming the Deepening
of Waterways as a Factor in the
Scheme-Taft and Bryan Guests at
Banquet in the Evening.

Scheme-I art and Bryan Guests at
Banquet in the Evening.
Chicago, Oct. S.-With William III.
Taft as the principal speaker the
Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways
convention got under way and com
pleted the first session with great
promptitude and success.
Judge Taft entered on the heels of
Governor Deneen of Illinois amid the
music of many instruments and the
cheering of delegates and visitors,
each one of whom waved a small
American flag till the whole Audi
torium became a ripping sea of red,
white and blue.
The convention was called to order
by President William X. kavanaugh
of st. Louis. The body of the Audi
torium theater was not quite filled,
but as many more delegates and Wis
itors, easily distinguishable by their
badges, filled the lobbies of nearby
hotels. AS the routine business of
the meeting, including the address of
the president, the report of Secretary
Saunders and the appointment of com
mittees proceeded, however, the va
cant seats became filled and it was a
large audis snce which greeted the Re
publican standard bearer.
'The United States have longer
haul to the seaboard than any other
country competing for foreign trade, ="
said Judge Taft. I'VE must overcome
the disadvantage of the longer haul
by the lesser freight rate, for which
VIC must look to the waterways, nav
igable all the year round" This and
many other statements made by the
speaker provoked applause.
Judge Taft spoke of the conserva-
tion Of our natural resources in gen.
eral, naming the deepening of water
ways as a factor in the scheme 1t
was a policy, he said, and not a
project.
At the conclusion of his speech
Judge Taft departed for Galesburg,
where he was scheduled to deliver the
principal address at the Lincoln
Douglas celebration.
In the evening Judge Taft and Will
lam j. Bryan were guests at the ban
quet given by the Chicago Associa-
tion of Commerce.

CAUSED SENSATION
IN PHILADELPHIA
killing Of J. Clayton Erb, Prom
inent Politician.

Philadelphia, Oct. 8.--The killing at
Red Gables, his country home near
here, of Captain j. Clayton Erb, trust
ed lieutenant and confidential man of
Israel w. Durham, former leader of
the local Republican organization,
caused a sensation in this city. Cap
tain Erb was shot dead by his sister
inlaw, Mrs. Katherine Beisel, during
a quarrel over domestic affairs. He
was extremely well known in all walks
of life in this city and had many
friends throughout the state.
Captain Erb and his wife had had
considerable domestic trouble of late
their differences becoming so serious
that they finally reached the Delaware
county courts. Each accused the
other of unbecoming conduct and it
was expected that divorce proceedings
would ultimately be instituted by one
or the other. Notwithstanding their
troubles they continued to live at Red
Gables and quarrels were frequent.
Tells Story Of Tragedy.
According to Mrs. Beisel she heard
an exchange of angry words on the
second floor and on going up the stairs
found Erb beating his wife. Whether
Mrs. Beisel had the revolver with her
at the time or ran into her bedroom
and got 1t was not disclosed. Accord
ing to her story, as related to the Off
cials on the case, Erb turned from his
wife and started to attack her and,
fearing for her life, she pointed the
revolver at him and fired. She emp
tied every bullet in the chambers into
Erb's body and he staggered and fell
in his tracks
"Clayt" Erb, as he was familiarly
known, had been prominent figure
in the Republican political affairs Of
this city and state since the ascend
anoy Of his friend, Israel w. Durham
Later Mrs. Beisel repudiated her
confession OF the shooting and the
authorities caused the arrest OF Mrs
Erb. 1t was the lat.er's pistol that
was used in the shooting and the
weapon was found In Mrs. Erb's room
after the tragedy.
