HUGHES TALKS OF REFORMS
He Recognizes Need Of Their Accom-
plishment in Nation.
NO HOPE FROM BRYAN's SCHEMES
New York's Governor Thinks They
should Come from Enforcement
Of -Law-speech at La
crosse.

. LACROSSE, Wis, oct. 6.-opening a
speaking tour which in the present week
is to take him through Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois, Governor Charles E.
Hughes OF New York in a speech here to-
day told why he had taken the stump in
support OF william H.. TAFT for president.
Despite the earliness OF his arrival here, a
large crowd greeted him and the Auditor
ium, where he spoke at 500 a. m, was filled
to overlooking.
Governor Hughes presence west of Chi
cago caused widespread interest and every
where provoked the exclamation, He looks
better than his pictures"
Still suffering from an affection in his
throat, the governor explained that mas
much az he was scheduled to deliver fifteen
addresse today he would not be able to talk
as loud as he desired.
1.-THE issue Of this campaign is primarily
the question of an election Of an
administration hat will represent the
popular WILL" said Governor Hughes.
Now 1 tell you the American peo-
pie realize now more than in any other
campaign that reforms are necessary, but
all Of US, I believe, agree that they shall
be achieved rather by the enforcement Of
the law than by any revolutionary schemes.
The checking Of abuses and the regulation
OF the trusts are vital questions that must
be accomplished by men of experience.
Not Personal MATTER.
II have no feeling personally against Mr..
Bryan, but l consider It beyond question
that II he we're to be in a position to enact
into law any of his fRnciful schemes to
curb the trusts the country would be in
volved in financial and Industrial disaster.
None of his schemes has been tried. Theo-
r~etically and visionary they seem to have
no place in American Institutions. or in
any institution which to endure must rest
on a foundation of solid intelligence and
experience.
o the other hand, Mr.. Taft, I believe,
represents all that is best in American
ideals; he stands for purity in politics and,
what is more, for purity in the enforce
ment Of law. It has been said that when
he was a Judge Mr.. Taft dealt harshly with
the laboring man. 1 tell you what he did
do: He dealt honestly with the laboring
man, and there is nothing which works for
the interest of the laboring man more than
honesty and justice administered from the
judiciary. Mr.. Taft is tried. experienced
and absolutely ~incorruptible and It is for
this reason that ] am speaking In his behalf
here today"

TEN DEATHS CAUSED BY FIRE
I~ncendiary BIaEe In Mulberry Street
Results in FRtAlities-Fire rs
capes ClOEBed.

NEW YORK, Oct. Stem persons were
killed, more than a dozen injured and thirty
moro escaped death by the narrowest mar
gin in an incendiary fire which wrecked
the tenement house at M Mulberry street
early today. That a deliberate attempt was
made TO destroy the house and its occu-
pants as well the police and firemen do not
doubt. Three barrels stuffed with rubbish
soaked with oil were blazing fiercely in the
lower hall, cutting off the escape Of the
fifty or more persons who were sleeping on
the upper floors. Some Of these died in
their beds. overcome by smoke and then
caught by the flames. Others who had
been aroused too late fell unconscious be-
fore they could reach a window and were
burned to death scarcely an arms length
from safety. Many were injured by jump
ing from upper windows to the street or
by being crushed as they fought for posi-
lions OF safety on the choked fire escapes.
The dead:
MINECHILLo FURIcILLo, his wife,
ANTONlELLA, and their THREE chill

hospitals are in a critical condition. That
so many persons were killed and seriously
injured was in part due to the carelessness
OF the tenants OF the house themselves and
their disregard OF the rule that fire escapes
must be kept clear Of distractions at all
times. When the frightened men and
women rushed from their rooms ahead OF
the flames they found the wells of the fire
escape platforms covered with boards
which could not be quickly removed. Elk
cited mothers and fathers with children in
their arms and the smoke pouring out OF
the windows behind them and the cracking
of the flames in their ears became panic
stricken and tossed their children to friends
In the street. Fully a dozen children were
tossed from the second and third floors and
were caught by men standing In the street
The men and women were later carrieC
down by firemen on ladders

TO CRAB HOMESTEADS
Seven Registrations in Twenty
Minutes.
CROWDS HASTEN TO FRONTIER
Immense ThrOnRs Pass Through the
Gateway to secure Filing for
Some of the Trip
County Land.

The rush for the 100000 acres Of land
Uncle Sam is to almost give away is on
and for the next two weeks Union station
will be a busy sight. Five places OF regis
tration rave been arranged for by the
government. three OF which are reached by
the Northwestern through Omaha.
The days OF registration are October 8 to
II, with the drawing at Dallas, October
10. Some idea of the rush that is now on
may be gained from the report that has
come in tina $50 were registered in the first
twenty minutes at Dallas, with other regis
tration points all doing rushing business.
To accommodate all the people who de-
sire to go to the opening, the northwestern
has made elaborate preparations. All the
available coaches of the Northwestern sys-
tenn are being pressed into this service
and officials Of the road say they will
be able to take care of all who come this
way. Eastern roads will turn over large
numbers Of people at Omaha, and the
Northwestern has assembled large numbers
Of engines and coaches to care for the
rush. The crowds will be taken in special
trains of ten coaches each, and rs soon as
one train is loaded and sent on ito way
another train can be made up in twenty
minutes. Valentine and Gregory are also
doing a rushing business, although Dallas,
as the place of drawing. seems to be get
ting the larger crowds.
This land, which is said to be worth
from s35 to $40 an acre at present and
which Uncle Sam Will sell to the lucky
number at $6 an acre, is a magnet which
will draw perhaps 10000 people to South
Dakota.
Registration Heavy at o'NetI
O'NEILL, Neb., Oct. ~b.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The registration at this point today
exceeded all expectations for the first day.
s,l97 aving registered at s p. m. 1t is ex-
pected that fully 1000 more will register

loud voice. which cried; Three cheers for
Old Bill TAFT, for he looks good to me-"
When the Ohioap had finished his re-
marks he was presented with a big bunch
OF American Beauty roses by the county
chairman Of Wyandotte county, who said 1t
represented the friendliness of the labor
unions Of the county, and an earnest dec
lsration that Gompers was not delivering
the vote of that county to the opposition.
Asks "BiIl" to Return.
Come back to us again, Bill" was the
rousing plea of an old veteran in uniform
as the Taft special pulled out of Leaven-
worth, the next stop, where the audience
listened with patience under good cheer
In the rain to the Taft labor speech.
1--WE have at least broken the drouth in
Kansas" said Senator Warner Of Missouri,
and the dampness don't make the slightest
difference in the patriotism of the crowd"
The Leavenworth audience, which was
large, was made up Of old soldiers from
the veterans home nearby, and of laboring
men.
To the soldiers the candidate first paid
his respects and complimented them on
their interest; to the laboring men he told
Of the record OF each party in their be-
half, with the conclusion that under the
Roosevelt administration more labor leg
islation had been enacted than previously.
The travelling companions OF Mr.. Taft
in Kansas included Candidate w. r. Stubs,
state Chairman Dolley, Joseph l.. Bristow
and Congressman Anthony. Representing
Missouri were Senator Warner, State Chair
man Dickey and a large local committee.

in its present attitude.
Varna and other Bulgarian towns are
placarded today with declarations that the
moment has now arrived to proclaim in
dependence, as otherwise Turkey, on the
strength of the treaty of Berlin, viii de-
mand the restitution of eastern Rumelia.
France Hopes to Prevent War.
PARIS, Oct. 6.-France has decided to
enact the role of mediator with the object
of preventing war between Turkey and
Bulgaria. Foreign Minister Pichon al
ready has begun a series of conferences
with the diplomatic representatives Of the
powers with the idea of reaching an un-
Outstanding, the purpose of which should
be the maintenance Of peace. when the Off
coal news of Prince Ferdinand's proclama-
ton at Tirnovo arrived.
The foreign minister conferred this morn
Ing with M. Iswolsky, the Russian minister
Of foreign affairs. and Naoum Yacha, the
Turkish ambassador. This afternoon he
will meet the Austro-Hungarian, British
and American ambassadors. as we'll as the
Bulgarian diplomatic agent, M. Stancioff.
The situation is considered most grave.
Inc prOCldTndIlOn OF the independence OF
Bulgaria actually has been made. and 1t
probably would be useless to attempt to
induce Prince Ferdinand to withdraw 1t.
bulgarian Troops MObilizing.
1t is known that the Bulgarian cavalry
already is modifying on the frontier and
Prince Ferdinand is determined to stick to
his guns. On the other hand, 1t probably
would be equally difficult to persuade Tur-
key to accept Bulgaria's act, while the
sympathies of the powers arc IN favor OF
the maintenance of the integrity of Euro
pean Turkey under a regime of liberty.
The diplomatic representatives of the
powers generally believe that war would
Turkey and the sultan would use war as
a pretext for Withdrawing the constitution.
This would be a repetition of his course in
1876, when he withdrew this same consti-
tuition prior to the outbreak of the Russo
Turkish war.
Germany for Mediation.
BERLIN, Oct. 5.-News was received az
the foreign office last night that Turkey
had been informed that Bulgaria was de-
termlned to proclaim it's Independence at
Tirnovo today.
Should the Turkish government seek the
advice Of the power regarding the ad-
visibility Of asserting its supremacy over
Bulgaria by military force, Germany would
not be able to advise the porte to so to
work. The Turkish army is not prepared
the Bulgarian is ready.

Electrical decorations for the Ak-sar-Ben
festivities and thousands Of other electric
lights will blaze in the streets of Omaha
during the National Corn exposition, which
Is now but sixty days off.
1t has been decided to leave up all lights
for the big corn show, including those on
the city hall and street as we'll as other
buildings. The colored lights at street in
tersections will be taken down temporarily,
as they are colored with dyes and the color
would wash off in early storms. but they
will go up again and the city will show
even more lights than during Ak-Sar-Ben.
In colors of corn and festoons represent
ing ears of the yellow grain which has made
the west famous, the electrical decorations

IndianE's Trophy.
g. /. Christie, secretary, announces that
"at the meeting Of the special agents and
the commission appointed for the National
Corn exposition to be held at Omaha in
December, a movement was started TO OBJ
tain funds to purchase a trophy to be
awarded annually for the best ten ears Of
corn exhibited at the National Corn EXPOSE
ton. The value of the trophy Is to be 81, 1000.
Through the winnings OF Indiana corn
growers at the National Corn exposition
held at Chicago last October, and those
made at other national shows, Indiana has
placed itself in the front rank of the corn
states. The offering of this trophy at this
time gives the state another opportunity to
maintain the lead In all movement for bet
ter corn. Already the best artists and
designers of the country have been put to
work on this corn trophy and 1t is hoped
to get one which will eclipse all trophies
OF the kind ever offered. 1t is intended that
this trophy will bring much advertising and
glory not only to the state, but to the corn
growers. The special agents of the counties
Of the state ave each agreed to contribute
80 toward the trophy. This means that
the interest In this trophy will be state
wide and that it is we'll termed an Indiana
corn trophy.
THE interest among Indiana corn growers
for the National Corn exposition is running
high at this time and it is felt by those
interested that a mammoth exhibit will be
made by this state at the exposition in
December"
