TRIP FOR
TAFT BEFORE WORK
Candidate Will Pass Week on
Great Lakes and Then
Begin Campaign
Thousands of Virginians Will
Pour Into Hot Springs to
Hear Leader Speak

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 16.-Wil-
liam II. Taft and party viii leave Vir-
ginia Hot Springs Friday, August 2S.
September or he will go to Gin
cinnati to remain until election day.
The announcement of the itinerary
which is to include the candidates pre-
campaign vacation, was made today
Mr.. and Mrs Taft will be the guests
of the Middle Bass club, the headquar-
ters of which are the Middle Bass ISL
and short distance out in Lake Erie
from Putin bay. The club claims dis
tinetion for having had as members
Presidents Hayes, Garfield and McKin-
ley and being host on a number of oc-
casions to President Cleveland. The
visit Of the Taft party was arranged by
Charles 7. Lewis of Toledo, president
of the club, and Representative j. War
rem Keifer, member of the club. Judge
Taft is fond of fishing and has been in
dueed to believe that the change for
a week from the mountains to the lake
will put just the proper edge on his
condition of fitness for the front porch
work he is to do in his native city.
Arrangements are nearing compile
tion for the one political event in
which Taft is to participate before
leaving here, the rally of Virginia re-
publicans next Friday. John A. Noon
and H. T. Voorhees, of Staunton, Va, in
charge of the arrangements, have in
formed Taft that the railroad excur-
sions will bring 5000 Virginians to the
mountains to hear him speak.
Three trainloads are expected from
Charlottesville, but the Shenandoah val
| ley is expected to furnish most of the
visitors, who will come from Augusta,
Highland, Bath Rockingham, Shenan-
doah, Page, Rockbridge and Botetourt
counties.
The famous StonewalI brigade band,
organized in 1857, will come from
Staunton. Two of the charter mem
bers, Charles E. Hayes and Robert e.
Hamilton, are still with the band and
will be here Friday. This band made a
pilgrimage to Canton, O., in 1896 and
attended the Inauguration of President
Mckinley afterward.
The certainty of a large attendance
has made a change in the plans neces-
sary. Instead of speaking from the
clubhouse bandstand a platform is to
be built in the ball grounds, where the
accommodations will be more ample.
The speech of Judge Taft will be the
feature Of the program. He will be in
troduced by Colonel S. Brown Allen,
and short speech may be made by
Representative Slemp
Following the usual custom Taft
| transacted no business nor held no
political conferences today. With Mrs.
Taft he attended services at St Luke's S
| Episcopal church.

BRYAN WOULD GIVE
DEPOSITS SAFETY
Commoner Will Urge Plank
Guaranteeing Protection
to Bank Customers

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. l5.-
A suggestion novel in its character and
regarded by democratic leaders as one
calculated to strengthen the party in
the campaign will be acted upon by
the democratic national committee
upon the occasion of the visit of Will
liam j. Bryan to Chicago next week.
Much stress is being laid by the
democratic nominee on the plank in the
Denver platform relating to the guar
antee of bank deposits, and this topic
will be discussed quite fully by him in
his speech at Topeka, August 27 If
the suggestion is followed, and there is
reason to believe that 1t will be, every
community in which bank has failed
during the past year or more will be
given especial attention by the literary
bureau. The sufferers from the fail
ures will be sought out and provided
with arguments through which ii is
hoped to convince them of the sound
ness of the guaranty plank.
Bryan today, as usual. attended
morning services at the little Methodist
church in Fairview. In the afternoon
a number of automobilists from Lin
coin, among them Mayor Frank w.
Brown, rode out and paid neighborly
visits to the Bryan family. When the
party arrived Bryan was out on his
farm, but he was notified of the pres
ence of his callers and quickly re-
turned to the house. Matters political
were not touched upon.
AS his visitors were leaving some
one suggested to him that he had room
enough for full golf course. but he
expressed prefenrece for baseball, re-
marking that the national game was a
golf one had to "go it" more or less
alone.

SHOWS THATBRYAN
HAS SMALL CHANCE
Cincinnati Enquirer Declares
Republicans Are United on
Policies of Roosevelt
Believes Solid Front Presented
by Party Insures Election
of Taft
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-THE Cincin-
natl Enquirer published this morning q
striking editorial comment on the ma
tional political situation, in which 1t
makes clear its belief that Bryan has
small chance of election to the presi-
dency.
The Enquirer bases its argument
upon the fact that the republican par
ty has coalesced its various factions of
radicals and conservatives to present a
solid front for the election of Taft. The
editorial. in part, follows:
News from the west, from all the
country west of the Ohio river, gives
ample evidence that in every state of
that vast region the republican party
has divorced itself from the element in
its ranks that opposed or failed to
heartily approve of the policies of
President Roosevelt.
What has been termed radicalism is
now the orthodox faith in each of the
states of that section, and the national
convention Endorsement of that admin
istration and its policies is rapidly be-
ing ratified by the party in county, dis
trict and state primaries.
THE anti Roosevelt forces of the
country today in no state of the union
have any political standing or hold
upon the voters of the party.
1T is difficult for an oniooker to see
how the democrats can gain republican
votes in the west under these eondi-
tions. Their chance was there three
months ago, but the republican new
alignment surely is now a barrier.
Mr.. Bryan can offer no greater in
dueements than are now offered upon
the bargain counter of the republican
party in the west. Not an important
radical republican leader has bolted
his party. Why should he under such
favorable conditions to radical ideas?
Not an important conservative repub-
lican can leave, for all other doors
are closed to him.
TT does not look so favorable to the
democrats in the west as it did one
month ago, a fortnight ago or a week
ago. The last few days the western
republicans Seem to have cancelled such
decree"

see the two on the ground on account
of the cut. and he too went over Col

for assistance. An automobile was
sent to the scene of the accident. When

conscious and he was hurried TO

GOES TO RENO FOR DYNAMITE
Gallagher was ever fearful of an
other attempt on his life and changed
his dwelling place frequently. But he
had been located in the Bon Air apart
ments by Peter The situation was re-
ported to Ruef's friend, Pauduveris.
Then Peter was sent out of town on
another mission to Reno. He had been
in Reno twice before and for the sole
purpose of buying dynamite with which
to make his diabolical attacks on the
former supervisor. whose life stood
between Abe Ruef and ultimate free
dom.
He had not time to fulfill his third
mission. His brother confessed and he
had to flee. From Reno he went by
hidden ways to Chicago. There he
came in contact with his western ac-
completes. He was sent out to May
wood. ILL.,, to stay in hiding. But ex-
pected communications did not arrive
and he slipped back into Chicago
where he was promptly nabbed by
George Burns and Jack Mccarthy
HUNTS FOR PAUDUvERIs
Special Agent Burns is still on the
hunt for Pauduveris. He believes that
the capture of the man who seems to
be the connecting link between the
prisoners and the higher ups will fol-
low soon.
Ruef's name was never mentioned to
Peter Claudianes by Pauduveris, ac-
cording to the prisoner. He gave the
desperate to understand, however, that
some one with plenty of money was be-
hind the terrible plot. His promise of
the ready bail money. which seems
about to appear, and his statement that
a defense fund of $1,000,000 was avail
able indicated to the young Greek that
wealthy interests would profit by the
assassination of Gallagher and would
pay generously for the profit. When
ever any delicate question came up
Pauduveris would not decide ii, but
would tell Peter to wait while he dis
cussed it with his parties"
During this time Pauduveris was in
frequent conference with Abe Ruef
At the Temple Israel, where Ruef was
or trial, and at the Fillmore street
house where Ruef was a prisoner.
Felix was a constant visitor until Jack
Mccarthy, the deputy elisor, refused to
permit him to see Ruef When visiting
Ruef, Felix and the boss would hold
long whispered conferences. Mccarthy
acutely concluded that there was little
good brewing in those undertones and
shut the door on Abe Ruefs associate
and Peter Claudianes accomplice.
Then Ruef was removed to the county
jail, where visitors could go more
freely.

attach this name. Greens so dark as to
look black are varied with stripes of brown,
gray and yellow.
Waistcosts made Of this material look as
II they might be Intended for winter wear
until they are taken in the land and one
appreciates their real lightness Of texture.
They are primarily intended for the cooler
days Of summer when the need Of wool Is
felt by the prudent dresser. The so-called
two-piece suits are now so popular that
but for these fancy waistcoats the average
man would be without such a garment.
One feature of the waistcoats of the
summer is the absolute disappearance OF
the collar. None OF them made by the
tailors this spring have this ornament.
The waistcoats made for the ordinary sack
suits are also this year without any collar.
A return to the former style, which was
much overdone in its time, is the restora-
ton Of braid, which is seen on a number
of the new waistcoats. The sort of braid
is unlike its predecessor and is more often
made of a material of a color contrasting
with the goods used in the body Of the
waistcoat. A linen for instance which has
a blue design over 1t will have the pockets
and the edge outlined with a material in .
slmilsr color. When the rage for braid led
the haberdashers and tailors to ornament
the waistcoats in this way the regular
knit braids were used for his purpose.
Now they are not seen except in some Of

the white duck and heavy linen waistcoats
which are quite destitute Of color. They
are finished about the edges and pockets
with the white braid.
Piques, with a line of color, either black,
blue or brown, are this year popular ma
terials for wsistcoats, and they are with
out ornament of any kind, unless It be
indeed the monogram on the waistcoat
pocket. Among the new waistcoats which
are OF such freakish origin that It seems
dangerous even to mention them is the
so-cAlled alligator waistcoat.
1t is made of cloth which initiates ex-
actly alligator leather in a shade Of bronze.
No heresy in fashion ever seemed quite as
bad as that, but its terrors are oven
greater when 1t is added that a hat band
of the same material. This style of waist
coat will not, It may be added. ever be-
come a familiar scene OF the landscape in
New York.
There are pretty pique waistcoats In
pastel shades of mauve, bird's-egg blue,
champagne color and biscuit that are fin
ished merely with a cord OF harmonizing
tint down the edges and about the pock-
cts. These are sometimes made without
buttons that the wearer may put in his
own, and they are often of a kind that
contrasts with the material. If the buttons
are supplied with the waistcoat, they are
mother Of pearl.
