TAFT OUTLINES His
CAMPAIGN POLICY
Republican Presidential Candidate Meets
Issues Clearly and Plainly.

Hot Springs, Va, July 1S.-""The ma
tional republican committee will &C
cept no contributions from corpora
TONS" said Judge William H. Taft,
presidential candidate Of the republic
can party, today. In an interview he
also referred to labor, prohibition and.
other questions. H
Mr.. Taft said that not only would
the law Of New York state. providing
for the publicity of campaign con-
tributions, be obeyed by the national
republican committee, but the federal
law prohibiting such contributions BY
corporations in connection with the
election of president. vice president,
representatives and senators would be
observed. Answering questions as to
the application Of the national law
to contributions for the election OF
presidential electors, Mr.. Taft declar-
ed that the law would be obeyed ex-
actly as # was passed by congress.
AS to the right of a labor leader to
attempt to influence the votes Of mem
bers Of the organization Of which he
Is the head, Nj. Taft at first laughed
and said that that was a question Of
propriety, upon which he was not suf-
iiciently informed to discuss. When
asked as to his idea Of the power Of
the leader OF a labor organization
to throw Its vote to one party or an
other, he declared that in his opinion
1t could be predicted that there is no
so-called class OF the American cleo
torate whose votes would be deter
mined by It's leaders.
He said that after eliminating mem
bers Of both political parties from a
labor organization, the expression Of
a leader might indicate how the re-

that just as is the case generally n
dealing with any class Of citizens, he

the nature Of their votes, It would he

of one or the other political parties.
The question that called forth this
statement referred to President sam
uel Gompers OF the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor, but Mr.. Taft avoided
making any personal reference to Mr..
Gompers or any other leader Of or
sganized labor.
Asked whether he would have any
new remedy to offer for the so-called
trust problem in his speech Of accept
ance, he replied that ne did not know
OF anything new that he could add
to a question that had been so widely
discussed and stated that he would
have nothing to say on that matter
outside OF what he had said atvariious
times in his public u~tterances. Mr..
Taft's attention was called today to
assertions Of some journals represent.
ing the liquor interests that he is op-
posed to prohibition. He explained
that he had never publicly discussed
the ethical side OF prohibition, and
he took the view, a he understood Mr..
Bryan had done, that the prohibition
issue was not involved in the national
campaign. From what had come to
his attention in respect to the repre-
sensations Of these Journals, he ~
ferred that they had based their
statements on speeches he had made
in which he criticized the action Of
some legislators IN passing prohibi-
ton and other laws without prrsov1id-
ing the machinery for enforcing them.

MINERS UNIONS TO
WORK TOGETHER
CLOSER AFFlLIATIoN BETWEEN
COAL AND METALLIFERoUs.

Denver, July 18.-The question of
a closer working agreement with the
United Mine Workers Of America was
brought o~ficially before the conven-
ton of the Western Federation OF Min.
ers this afternoon.
The matter came up during the con-
sideration Of President Meyers an.
nual report. in which he advocated
signing an agreement. The discus
sion brought out the fact that many
Of the members felt that a union
might force the Western Federation
men to adopt the check system. The
latter organization does not make
contracts OF any kind. The fight
against an afhliation Of any sort was
led by George Hutchinson, but he was
badly defeated, and the president was
instructed to appoint q committee Of
five to devise ways and means where.
by q working agreement can be OBJ
tanned.
At this juncture Mother Jones, who
lis known from n end OF the country
to the other among miners, entered
the hall. She was given q great ova-
ton and addressed the convention for
over an hour, advocating 2 closer
union among all members Of organised
labor.
The morning session was consumed
in the consideration OF q case OF al.
legged graft on the part Of . Tonopah.

INSANE WOMAN KILLS
!. CHILDREN AND SELF
GIVES LITTLE ONES POISON AND
THEN sTRANGLEs THEM.

Buffalo. N. y, July 1S.-Mrs. Isa-
bella Sahlen fed poison to her three
small children today and then strang-
led each with a handkerchief to make
her work ure Then she sent to the
grocery store for more poison, which
she took herself. The three children
were dead when their mother was dis
covered and Mrs. Sahlen was dying.
Physicians did what they could for her,
but 1t is thought she cannot survive.
In a statement which Mrs. Sahlen
made to the police and the medical ex-
aminers, the woman blamed her
s~isterinlaw. who she said, had caus-
ed her much trouble. This noon. when
Sahlen was home for his midday meal,
his wife, Sahlen says, said az he vent
out the door:
IF this keeps up this afternoon.
there will be something happen here
before tonight"
Sahlen took his wife's remark hight
" and went to work. He is a team
ster. He did not learn Of his wife's
deed until night. Just after four
o'clock Mrs. sahlen went out Into her
doorway and screamed to her next
door neighbor, Mrs. Brown, that she
had poisoned her three children and
herself. Mrs. Brown rushed into the
Sahlen yard and Mrs. sahlen met her
q bread knife. The frantic mother
made . thrust at Mrs. Brown. who
retreated and called for help. Physi-
clans and police found the three child
rem dead and Mrs. shalen under the
first effects Of the poison.
Frank, the il months old baby. was
dead II his go-cart in the dining room
with a handkerchief stuffed into his
throat. Elizabeth the three year old
girl, was evidently killed first and
Mrs. sahlen took the five year old
boy. Charles out Of bed from the dead
body Of his sister and placed him on
the floor.
Then she laid beside the. lad, fed
him the poison and strangled him.
The crazed woman had no more poi
son left, 90 che nailed her neighbors
boy and sent him for more. Then she
returned and put her house in order
while she waited. When the boy re-
turned she took the poison and called
her neighbor.
The medical examiners say the
children had died probably an hour or
more before the mother took the pol
son herself.
