Bryan in Letter Shows
He Has Had No Proof
Of the Haskell CHARGES

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 2S.-Defend-
ing his knowledge of Governor Haskell
against the charges which have been
brought against him until the charges
can be examined in some courts where
partisanship does not bias" Bryan last
night gave out for publication his re-
ply to President Roosevelt's recent
letter in response to his telegram on
the subject.
Bryan speaks of the election of Has
kell as governor of Oklahoma and says
that "The constitution was adopted
and Haskell elected in spite of the eff
forts of your administration and in
spite of the speech made in Oklahoma
by Taft" Bryan charges among other
things that the steel trust, with your
express consent" purchased one of it's
largest rivals and thus obtained con-
troll of more than so per cent of the
totai output. He asks the president if
he will insist that in permitting this
you showed less favor TO monopolistic
corporations than | do in opposing it,
Is Trust beneficiary.
Bryan abruptly charges that Cover
nor Hughes quoted by Roosevelt as
having "riddled the democratic trust
I remedy" is himself a beneficiary OF
trusts. and cites the campaign contri
buttons to the Hughes election fund
two years ago Among these are ]. P
Morgan, who says he gave $4,000:
John d. Rockefeller, $4,000; Andrew
Carnegie, $4,000, and William Nelson
tCromwell, $1,000.
| Voluntarily Resigned.
| Pursuing this subject further, Bryan
says that as the president quotes
Hughes he takes it for granted Taf
has not expressed himself satisfactor
lily ON the trust question. Bryan say:
Haskell voluntarily resigned from the
committee that he might be more free

trusty thermometer begins to ring that
bell in the farmers bedroom and
keeps on ringing it until be comes out
into the orchard and turns it off.
Scattered around here and there are
covered pots. These pots are filled
with crude petroleum, and once alarm
ed by the glass, the fruitgrower simply
goes rapidly from pot to pot with a
handful of matches. and it's all up
with Jack Frost. In a moment the
trees are enveloped III a thick, black
smoke and the fruit crop is saved. the
tops go back on the pots and the fires
go out.
A fruit inspector says that orchards
thus supplied with smudge pots can be
kept eight degrees warmer than those
without them, and many have been
saved with them where smudge- potless
ranches adjoining suffered total losses.
Smudge pots are used in many places.
Probably the Chinese invented them,
but new era dawned with the ap-
peaIance of the thermo. electric indi-
Gator which unfailingly gives the
warning when to smudge.

PURE MILK THEIR SLOGAN
PendletOn is Shaken By War on
Diseased Herds.

Pendleton is being stirred from GEN.
ter to circumference Ey the agitation
started recently for puIer milk sup
ply. 1t was started almost inadver-
tently by City Physician Cole, who
declared that large percentage of
tins dairy COWS which supply Pendleton
with milk are infected with tubercu-
lOsis and that the disease is transmits
able from the bovine to the human.
AS result of this statement and the
agitation and crusade which is follow
ing in its wake the council will be ask
ed to pass an ordinance providing for
the inspection of all dairy herds, the
tests to be made by the bureau of an
imal industry without expense to the
city or the owners of cattle. and for
the killing of all COWS found to be in
fected.
he measure will also prescribe san
itary regulations, which the dairymen
will observe. Among these will be a
provision for the soalding of milk cans.
1t Will also provide that milk bottles
belonging to the dairies and used
generally by the public shall NOT be
left at houses where there are cases of
infectious diseases. An inspection of
stables and oorrals will be ordered and
the methods used in milking COWS will
be investigated.

Waitsburg Must Pay Tax.

WaitsbuIg citizens must pay the

to a decision of the supreme court just
rendered in the case of E. M. Denton

brought to enjoin the county from en-

Rain RetIYeS IHe Side;
 Another Baron Defeat

aged Breitenstein, with arms that grated in their hinges, with shoulders bowed with the weight of increasing years, grumbled through a warming up process. Robertaille busted himself with the de- livery of few twisters, and announced his eagerness for the fray. Manager Molesworth. falling in the mud, offered a prayer. Charlie Frank, satisfied with his two successive and easily gained vic tories, made no movement whatever. Had he done so perhaps the rain would have ceased
 The prospects were good Seated in tine grandstand were 1S boys. h the smok- CTS reclined "Rooter' Brown. In the bleaehers were a bakers dozen of drenched individuals, shouting Down with the Pelicans'' and Up with the Barons" Doorkeeper Bennie the faith full, was on his perch, having nothing to do, and being we'll pleased Dad Walker stalked into the field with can vass, and no complaint passed his grim set lips. The pennant pole looked bare in centerfield. The grass lifted it's voice in thankfulness. Silence, in the outfield, predominated.
 But the rain continued to pour. First there was a flood; then gradual shower Then peep of the sun, Then a down. pour. For two hours Jupiter continued his teasing, and Molesworth his prayers Harry Matthews, escaping the eye of his lord and master slipped from the park. Ginger" Clark followed with cus- tomary alacrity. Tom Raub crawled | through a crack in the fence. Downey by way of Smiths shoulders, entered the grandstand, thence departing. Meek went after ball over the fence and rpver eerurned. Molesworth and Frank, ere long, were left alone. When they re- tired J. P. was in full possession and the diamond was a puddle. And a pud- dle it remains.

dope he has made only four errors this year. Daubert is the only first baseman who appears to have chance of attract ing major league notice. He is batting .256 and fielding 1856. The other stars are too old.
 Charley Babb is clearly the best of the third basemen in percentages. Rohe of New Orleans is his only competitor. AIc- Elveen tof Nashville is the best fielder of the lot, but he is batting only 23S.
 The real stars of the league this year are the outfielders. In left field Per sons of Montgomery is the best batter, .2S0, but he is fielding only .936, and the call is given to Daly, who is batting only .OO7 worse, and fielding 051 better. Moran of Atlanta has creditable averages.
 There are more good center fielders than you can shake a stick at. Speaker, be- cause of his .3H batting, is easily first Molesworth, batting .320 and fielding .9e0, is a nice second, and Lord, batting .319 and fielding .955, is an impressive third.
 Winters. Thornton, Seigle and Donahue are allsdoing nice work in center. Speak CT and Lord will doubtless go back to the big league clubs that own them next spring for another trial.
 Right field offers two stars. Becker of Little Rock, who is batting .33S and field ing 1892, and BaeTwald of Memphis. The ldlter IS gwen Ine cnOlce DeCduSo or Ills good fielding and becausa the Little Rock man has not yet played in enough games to make it possible to get a line on him.
 Baerwald, who was tried out by the New York Americans this spring, Is cer- tainly entitled on the records at another shot at a major league job.
 The five pitchers picked are all star men. Chappelle, J. Duggan and Castle ton will get major league trials. So. no douht will Rartley of New Orleans Per due of Nashville, Ford of Atlanta, Tor rey of Mobile and Robinson of Birming- ham.
 Judged from all angles, it is doubtful if the Southern league will send quite as many men to the big leagues as in years past. but a larger proportion of those sent is likely to stick.
 Big league scouts who have been through Atlanta this year all say that the material this year is very scanty, and any player who has shown any ability at all is likely to get call up higher.
