FAMOUS BELLS IN CHURCHES.

The famous old clock tower Torre de Oro1ogia stands in. the north side of the Piazzo San Marco, overlooking the waters of the Adriatic. A huge bell surmounts the tower, on each side of which stands two bronze fig- ures which strike the hours with ponderous hammers in obedience to the works of the gold clock in the tower just beneath. The great bells in the old church of St Nicholas of Blois and of Giotto's tower, in Flor ence, served as study for the artist Blansfleld for his beautiful painting of the three angels in the belfry, ringing the ,bells that the joyous mes sage might be sent forth.
 In England for ages past church bells have been connected with ev- erything sacred in life. Here the bells are loved for their old associa- tions. Who has not heard of the famous Bow church chimes of Cheap side, London? They date from 1761 and are a fine peal of twelve bells in c, their total weight being nearly eleven tons.
 The whole bell tower is swayed by their ringing, and their rich tones vibrate throughout the entire city, as 1t is said those of the bells in the lofty tower of St Ivan's do in Mos COW.
 The Bowbells are famous in Lon don as the traditional chimes which rang out the melody of hope to the

 As loud as Tom of Lincoln" be- came a proverb in England, although this bell is far from being as heavy as Mighty Tom," of Oxford. But Great Tom," of Lincoln cathedral, was more widely Known and became more popular. It originally weighed five and one-half tons, but when 1t was fecast in 1885 another ton of metal was added.
 The college youths of 1915 took great delight in the science of bell ringing, and 1t is recorded that on Easter Monday of that year, at New college, 10.008 Grandsire Bob Caters were rung by them. Those were the red-letter days of change ringing in England, when the church bells were put through wonderful revolution and somersaults and whirled upon their gudgeons and rung in time.- Chicago Inter Ocean.

the Republican scene as chief lad visor" of Chairman Hitchcock in tho management of Mir. Taft's campaign, is regarded as further unmistakable evidence Of the alliance of the Re publican party with the trust interests for the election of Taft Senator Crane may not be very we'll known by the farmers and laboring men of the west, but he has very extensive and intimate acquaintance in Wall street and with the trust protected interests of the east. He belongs to that little coterie of men whe rMfe the United States senate. He iS Me principal ad- visor of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, who stands at the head of the Standard Oil list of senators. Senator Crane is second in command.
 The failure of Chairman Hitch cocks campaign for Taft made it necessary for the Republicans to form a closer relationship with the trusts In order tc procure funds with which to carry on their propaganda. No man is better suited to do the cement ing than is Senator Crane. He is ! Republican of high standing and is a trust magnate. His interests lie with those who are monopolists and with the trusts.

THE. WEST COOL TO TAFT
Forgery of Ex-President Cleveland's
 Name by Republicans
Nr. Taft Carries ThSee Press Agents on Luxurious Train and Has to Send Ont Postal Cards to Get People to Greet Him
 in the Cities.

Chicago, H.. Oct 1.-Special-Con- gressman Ollie James, of Kentucky. who made the speech of the Denver convention in seconding the nomina- ton of MT. Bryan. has arranged epeakins dates in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and Nebraska. Mir. 1anss is popular speaker, and there are as many demands for his appear anee on the stump as any other cam paisn orator. While visitor at Dem ocratic National headquarters this week, he said:
 Bryan will be elected president in November by the greatest land slide the country has ever known. The record breaking crowds that greeted MT. Bryan in Judge Taft's home city and state bespoke the sentiment of voters throughout the nation"
 Ex-President cIeveiand's Name
 Forgery.
 ''The dishonest and corrupt method the Republican party is resorting to in its desperation to defeat MT. Bryan should cause all honest men to re- buke it," continued MT. James. "The circulation of the pretended article by Grover Cleveland against MT. Bryan shows to what extent the Republican party is willing to go fin order to en- trench in power for four years longer the agents of monopoly and the serv- ants of plutocracy. They were will ing not only to desecrate the mem ory of MT. Cleveland, but to forge his name to an assault upon MT. Bryan as well as an arraignment of the Dem- ocratic party. A party that is willing to desecrate the dead and prostitute the memory of a great ex-president will hesitate at nothing that is neces- sary. We may expect them again to invade the trust funds of widows and orphans held by insurance companies; we may expect them again to write other letters to My dear Harriman,' who was a director in thirty railroad corporations. corporations that had created a trust upon transportation and monopolized the highways of commerce, telling Hartman we arc practical men and asking him to gath CT up . quarter of e million dollars 0 bs used to elect the Republican norey. what dfa1rnnas can the peo-

pie distinguish between the Stand. ard oil comraay sending S5o,0oo to Senator Foraker to buy up newspapers and further the cause of the Rspub- iican party. and Hartman, who at the behest of President Roosevelt got the trusts and monopolies to contribute $250.0oo to be used directly on the voters, except that in the first in- stance Senator Foraker returned the money to the Standard oil when he found out he could not purchase the newspapers? But Roosevelt allowed the Republican party to use the money that Hartman contributed to aid in his election. If the President desires in some way to make amends he should at least see that his party re- turns the money which Hartman con. tTfbuted, to the widows and orphans of the insurance companies whose funds were depleted by a conscience less band of pirates in the interest of the Republican party.
 Republican Treasurer Trust Maenats.
 "The treasurer of the Republican campaign fund is we'll known trust magnate, director in many monopo. lies; he is force and power in Wall street. Mir. Wm. Nelson Crom- we'll who. we are informed, contribut- ed $50, ,0oo to the Republican campaign fund, is also director in many trusts that the Roosevelt party should have before the courts answering indict- ments for violating the antitrust law rather than contributing to the Re publican campaign fund.
 "MT. DuPont has resigned, the papers tell us, from the chairmanship of the Speakers Bureau. I presume he resigned from the Speakers Bureau so he could give more time to the preparation of his defense for the violation of the antitrust law"
 The fact that the alleged letter from Ex-President Cleveland, published originally in the New York Times, is , forgery, created no surprise at Dem- ocratic headquarters. From the very first the publication of this letter in one of the most partisan papers sup porting Judge Taft was regarded as a campaign trick After exploiting the forgery in Republican papers, cam paign managers of that party had this misrepresentation of the dead presi- dent circulated as a campaign docu- ment The New York Times has been forced to admit that 1t defamed Mir. Clevelands' memory when 1t pub lished the fake interview. Very nat urally. Mrs. Cleveland and the execu- tor of the late Ex-Presidents' estate have come forward and exposed this most villainous misrepresentation of the memory of a dead president with in the history of the nation.
 Speaking of the exposure of the Times story. Ar. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the Press Bureau, said:
 T was in New York when the Times printed the fraudulent Cleveland let ter. To my mind. it bore upon its face the evidence that it was a crude forgery, doing violence to the known sentiments of Mir. Cleveland. I found that most of MT. Cleveland's friends and nearly all the newspaper men be- lieved it to be fake. Mrs. Cleveland has protected the memory of her dis tinguished husband by her course in
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-09

the matter, for the letter, as pub lished, did violence to his utterances and to his uublic career. I was in- formed at the time that the forged letter was offered to the New York Herald and to the New York World, but they refused to touch 1t. The New York Times has a good motto "A1l the news that's fit to print. Tt would do we'll to add-"no fake stor- les printed that other journals refuse" Those Republicans who have been spending money derived from trusts to circulate the fraudulent Cleveland letter must, if honest, spend as much money to circulate pamphlets saying that the letter they circulated was . clumsy fraud"
 Post Card System.
 When MT. Taft learned that the mountain would not come to Mahomet, he decided that Mahomet must go to the mountain. When he found that the people would not come to him and listen to his speeches from the golf links at Hot Springs and from the front porch of Brother Charlie's pala- tial residence in Cincinnati, he deter mined to go out among the people.
 Apparently, however, there is grave fear among the Republican leaders that their candidate will not be gladly received by the people. In order to overcome this difficulty and in an ef- fort to bring out crowd to greet MT. Taft, the Chicago managers have found 1t necessary to send out postal card notices to the faithful, begging them to go to the railroad station and give the distinguished visitor "a cor dial welcome" During the past few days prominent Republicans have re- ceived the following notice from Fred W. Upham, assistant treasurer of the Republican National Committee:
 Chicago, September 21, 1908.
 Hon. Wm. H. Taft, the Republt
 can party's candidate for president
 and the peoples choice, will arrive
 in Chicago. Wednesday (september
 23) evening at o'clock. at the La
 Sale Street station of the L. S. &
 M. s. Ky. Please be at the station
 with your friends and give him .
 cordial welcome. It will be MT.
 Taft's first visit since the famous
 convention which nominated him
 for president Very truly yours.
 Fred. W, Upham.
 Small Hall for Taft.
 To give MT. Taft an opportunity to explain his attitude toward labor and his injunction record, in . city where hundreds of thousands of laborins men are interested in what he has to say, the Republicans selected a hall with . capacity of less than 1000 and pro vided for admission by card only, in order than none but those who agree with him might be allowed to enter. This hall was selected in the heart of the business section after an option on a hall with 15.ooo capacity in the center of the working mems district had been refused. The inference is plain that the Republican managers feared to have their candidate appear in a distinctively laboring district where all who would might come and hear, lest the great welcome planned for might bs turned into demonstxar tioa far. his polif1cal cnpenent or that

MT. Taft might be asked embarrassing questions.
 stumping Falls Flat.
 The fact of the matter Is that MT. Taft's stumping experiment has fallen fiat; he has produced absolutely no enthusiasm among the voters, and he has said or done nothing which will improve his chances Republicans are unable to conceal their feelings of dis appointment over the poor showing which their candidate has made. Mr. Taft's progress thus far, and the man. ner in which he has been received is complete vindication of those Repub- lican leaders who from the first op- posed the plan of having him take to the rear platform. They advocated a front porch campaign wherein the can .didate should be kept in the back ground, and others allowed to make his canvass upon Roosevelts record. The advocates of stumping cam paign prevailed, however. and now they are sorry 1t was ever begun.
 Elegance vs. Simplicity.
 The contrast between the Demo cratic simplicity with which MT Bryan has travelled and the elegance of the Taft accommodations on rail, Is as marked as the contrast between the size and enthusiasm of the audiences which have greeted the Democratic candidate. and those which MT. Taft has addressed. While one great New York newspaper which is supporting MT. Taft and which maintains a press association service has refused to have a correspondent with Mir. Bryan, ample accommodation are afforded aboard the Taft special for the special correspondents of all the large papers. In addition, for the first time in the history of any campaign. MT. Taft is carrying with him three press agents paid by the national committee for the purpose of influencing public opinion.
 Hired Press Agents.
 Notwithstanding all this, the reports come from all along the line that MT. Taft's receptions have been remark. ably chilly, and that the audience have been indifferent to his speeches and involved explanations of his attitude upon public questions. At George Ade's Indiana farm large crowd was gathered because a harvest festival had been advertised. The people sx. pected free feast from the full dinner pail" but were disappointed when they were charged 25 cents for dinner while they waited for the ap- pearance of the candidate. When he did come before them he talked about a larger navy, . stronger army and coast defences. something in which they had little interest. while he ig- nored the live issues of tariff revision, injunctions. guarantee of bank depos- its. publicity of campaign funds. and other questions about which they de sired to hear his views. The result was that Mir. Taft's speech was re ceived with fnattention and lack of anything which approached enthusi- asm.

ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGE
FILED AGAINST BROKER
Mixed Up Case Holds Attention OF
Superior court-Woman Sues
for Return of Mining
Stock

William Coleman, a dealer in ROOM
ing houses, was arraigned yesterday
before Justice Summerfield, charged
by ]. p. Laboucherie with the embez-
element of the furniture of the Ra-
mona lodging house, 33Oh South Spring
street.
A suit filed by Laboucherie against
u. S. G. Todd, p. d. Olivera and Mrs.
Ada Harris is also pending in the SUI
perior court, and yesterdays action is
an outgrowth of that suit.
/ In his suit filed in the superior court
Laboucherie says he was induced by
Todd and Olivera to exchange the fur
nishings of the lodging house for stock
of the Cincinnati, Columbus & Toledo
railroad and the Stephens-Johnnie
Mining company, which he declares is
without value. Todd acted for Mrs,
Harris, and following the close OF the
contract the woman took charge OF the
place.
Coleman, who has a lease on the
premises, says Mrs. Harris failed In
paying the rent and caused her eject
ment, turning the place over to an
other woman, who is now in possession.
Laboucherie's complaint is based on
this action, he claiming that Coleman
committed embezzlement in retaining
the property. Mrs. Harris files an an
swer to the original complaint, de-
manding that Laboucherie return the
stock to her. Coleman was released
under $4,000 cash bond and his exam
ination was set for April 16.

FORMER OFFICIAL TO BE
SENTENCED APRIL 10
Clyde M. Sage VIII Appear on Charges
of EmbezzIlng Diamond Ring
from Olga Miller, Girl
Suicide

On request of p. J. Mccormick,
deputy district attorney, Judge Conrey
yesterday continued until April 10 at
2 o'clock the sentence of Clyde M. Sage,
formerly coroner's clerk under DIR.
Lanterman.
The trial Of Sage on charge of en-
bezzling a diamond ring from the es-
tate of olga Miller was set for the
same date.
There is a probability that an appli-
cation will be made to place Sage on
probation when he appears for sem
tence after having pleaded guilty to a
charge of rendering a false statement
to the county treasurer.
The bill was for 1925, paid March 20,
1907. and contained items showing ex-
penditures for railroad fares which, 1t
is charged, Sage had never paid.
The trial of r. S. Lanterman. is set
for 10 o'clock this morning. He is also
charged with having, while coroner,
rendered false statements of expenses
to the county.
A subpoena has been served upon
Sage, who, as coroner's clerk, is be-
lieved to have had a full knowledge
of the official acts of his superior, and
it is expected he will take the stand
and give important testimony.

ANOTHER SUIT FILED
BY ELECTRIC COMPANY
Regular Monthly Complaint Against
Amalgamated Oil Company Is
Filed in Superior
Court

Another suit was added yesterday to
the large number already filed in the
superior court by the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company against the
Amalgamated Oil company, in which
the plaintiff seeks to recover $1O,66'
because of alleged violation of contract
The two companies entered INTO q
contract February 1, 1906, by which the
oil company agreed to deliver crude OIL
TO the gas company each month suffi-
Gent for its needs.
The same month the Amalgamated
company transferred the contract to
the Associated Oil company, according
20 the complaint, and the latter com
pany fulfilled its terms until the follow
ing December, when it notified the gas
coInpanv it would no longer do so.
since that time suit has been filed
each month by the gas company, ask
ing for the difference between the
amount paid for oil bought from other
companies and the sum it would have
aid had the alleged contract been kept.
