AN AUSTRIAN MINER
KING IS At WEDDINGBREAKI IN SOUTH
Three States Will Surely Vote
For Taft at the Fall
Election

BALTIMORE, Md, June 23--E. C..
Duncan, one of the receivers of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company,
is in Baltimore to attend a meeting
of the receivers OF that property.
bringing prediction that Taft win
carry three Southern states.
Mr.. Duncan is one OF the leading
Republican politicians of North Caro-
lima, being the member OF the Re
publican National, committee from the
Tar Heel State. He was delegate
to the Chicago convection, and one OF
the members of the committee to con-
fer with the Presidential nominee
relative to the new chairman of the
Republican National committee.
There Is perhaps no man in the
South, who is better posted on poll
teal conditions in that section of the
country than is Mr.. Duncan.
Asked as to Taft's chances of car
ryfng any of the states south of Ma
son and Dlxon's line, Mr.. Duncan
said:
."I firmly believe that Mr.. Taft will
have the electoral votes of North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
/ base my belief upon the fact that
the Bryan element is in. control of
those states. and that as a result
there is growing dissension In the
Democratic party amounting now to
almost open revolt.
II have talked with leading busI-
ness men, bankers and men promiu-
ent in professional life. who have
never voted other than a Democratic
ticket. who declare their purpose of
voting for and aiding in every legiti-
mate way In the election of Mr.. Taft.
In taking this stand they are in
auenced solely by business reasons.
They think Bryan Is too radical. and
that to put him in the executive
chair would deal the business inter-
ests Of the country staggering
blow"

John Gavin With Loathesome
Disease May Have Start
ed an Epidemic.
LODGES AT CITY HOME
County Court Appealed to TO
Take Charge of the
Afflicted Man.

The most perplexlng problem to
confront Mayor Wood thus far in his
administration presented itself Tues
day morning. and well may 1t be said
II caused him the most vexation, not
because the circumstances were such
as to prevent him from presiding at
a trial. but because of the delicacy of
the disposition of the case in hand.
no not exactly in hand as all shied
far away, sofar in fact that the hand
was not given.
Startling was the discovery made
Tuesday morning that officers of the
city had given lodging In the cage OF
horrors to stranger. who applied for
the same Monday night, who was af-
fiicted with the itch. The affliction
was not discovered until morning,
when 1t was observed that the strang-
er's feet were raw all over, in fact
his whole body was raw. The sight
, was not one to inspire the mayor to
arraign the man as vagrant and the
police officers themselves displayed
an. equally wise caution in steering
clear of the fellow and standing at a
safe distance.
May Cause Epidemic.
As luck had 1t there were no other
occupants of the cage of horrors and
thus the loathesome disease was not
impaired IN that manner, though
there is no estimate of how many
people the man came in contact with
before he went to the city home for
lodging. Whether thare is to be an
itch epidemic remains to be seen.
Mayor Wood Immediately consult
ed with the county court. Sheriff
Flanagan, ffowned. when the intima-
tlon was made that the fellow might
be placed In the county bastile. The
county pest house built several years
ago, when the smaiipox ragged. was
finally recalled by the august mem
bers of the court. and the idea was
at once advanced that that was the
proper place for the man with the
itch.
The question of disposition was
one of moment and entered into the
considerations of the court period
OF some length. 1t was almost con-
cluded that the county had no other
place for the stranger and prepara-
tions were begun for his removal to
.Iat isolated house.
Coroner Camp was pressed into
service to confer with hospital au-
thorities about taking care of the
man short time. as physician stat
ed he could cure him in week, and,
it is likely he will not be taken to
the pest house as that would incur
heavy cost to the county.
The fellow gives his name as John
Gavin and says his home is in Char
lesion.
