TAFT SHOWS FEAR
Of STATE FIGHTS
Will Plan With Hitchcock to
Unite Factions on Ma
tional Ticket.
BY JAMES HAY, Jr.

MIDDLE BASS ISLAND. Ohio. sept E
When Frank h. Hitchcock, charmed
Of the national committee. arrives here
tomorrow morning. Taft Will take up
with him in detafl the program OF what
steps shall be taken TO prevent the na-
tiOnaI ticket suffering losses as a result
Of the bitter factional fights which are
being waged between Republicans in
many States.
From the discussion, there viii be
evolved some definite plan for appeal
ing to the leaders Of factions TO forget
their personal differences and. at least,
TO unite in supporting the candidates
for President and Vice President
with the election only sixty dsys
away. Taft and MS advisers have come
To realize most keeuly that something
must be done TO secure every vote pos
sible. Mr.. Hitchcock and other MEM
bcrs Of the national committee take the
same view
Messengers probably viii be use6 to
visit such troubled States as West Nir-
ginia. Indiana. and Iowa These mes
sengers viii be men high up in the coun-
cils OF the party, and they VIII carry
messages from Hitchcock asking that
they unite on the national ticket.
After Solid Vote.
While Taft is sticking 10 his purpose
of having the national ticket involved
in no factional fight, he and his friends
Will do everything in their power TO
pile up the solid Republican vote OF
every State for the national candidates.
This policy IS considered necessary.
because the Republicans are convinc-
ed that they have hard fight on their
hands. The Democrats are working as
they have not worked for many years
They seem TO ne forgetting their tao
tional troubles, and 10 be standing to-
gether in a way unprecedented in the
political history of the party.
Barriers to Party.
On the other hand. the Republican
ticket faces such difficulties rs the
liquor fight on Governor Harris In Ohio
the Swisher-Scherr fight in West Vir-
ginia, and similar imbroglios in other
States. Frankly speaking. they realize
that they have a serious situation 10
eaeet. and it must he met by DarIeying
and peacemaking in the party as well
as by OratOry and literature to catch
stragglers.
This is the reason that in the next
Two weeks the party diplomats will be
hard at work.
TAFT did not go fishing today. Instead
he stayed in his cottage and cleared up
his accumulated correspondence.
Want Presidents Approval.
What will Roosevelt say2
The Taft party is anXiously waiting
the Presidential OK" on the Taft
Foraker incident at Toledo. Roosevelt s
approval would help Taft a great deal
in the West
Tafts advisers fear that a wrong con-
structiOn might be placed on the Lin
coin meeting and are reiteratiug with
considerable emphasis the statement
that Taft knew nothing about the pro-
gram and was committed in no way
to a deal
Foraker's declaration for Taft. some
of Taft's supporters believe, Will create
a bad situation IN The Western States

PAYS $4,000 FINE
IN HARD, COLD CASH
Victor @. Bloede Pleads
Guilty on Two Counts
of Conspiracy.

The largest fine TO be paid in cash in
open court in the District was that OF
5000 imposed on Victor G. Bloede. pres
ident Of the Victor C. Bloede Company
Of Baltimore. who last January was in
dicted with Edwin NJ Van Dyck. form
er chemist and inknaker at the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing. on four
counts Of conspiracy to defraud the
Government
Bloede appeared before Judge Gould
IN Criminal Court, No 1, and changed
his former plea Of not guilty to one Of
guilty on the second and third counts.
At the suggestion Of United States Dis
trlct Attorney Baker, the fine of 5000
was imposed and the money was paid
10 Marshal Robinson at once in five
bills of $1,000 denomination.
Technical Guilt.
MIR. Baker made his suggestion on the
grounds that BlOede was guilty. of a
fraud in law, but that the evidence
failed to show fraudulent intent. and so
made 1t a technical violation. II is
probable that Bloede will be tried on the
first and fourth counts of the indict-
ment at an early date during the fall
term of the court, at the same time that
Van Dyck is tried
1t Will be remembered that last fan
the charges of alleged fraud against
Van DyclI and Bloede caused q sensa-
tion in Government circles. After an
investigation conducted by the director
OF the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and officials of the Treasury De
partment, the grand jury returned true
bills against both Bloede and Van Dvck.
charging them with conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States Government
Charges in Bill.
In the bill. it alleged that Van Dyck
as chemist and inkmaker. caused the
Victor G. Bloede Company to submit
bids on dry black" a preparation used
in making a special kind Of ink, It
was Van Dyck's duty to make tests Of
the samples sent in with bids of dif-
ferent companies, rate the samples. and
to suggest which bids were the best.
It was further charged that for every
pound of dry black bought by the
United States from the Bloede Com
pany at g. cents a pound. Van Dyck was
to receive 10 cents until he had re-
ceiVed the amount of $40
Subsequently. as agreed upOn so the
bill charges, this rate was lowered to
6Iz cents a pound. the amount Van
Dyck was to receive for every pound
of dry black sold to the Govern
nnent by the Bloede firm, at IS cents a
pound.

RENO. Dec ! In a lengthy COM
plant filed late Saturday afternoon
Warren A. Miller asked that re-
ceiyer be appointed to take charge
of the affairs of the Nat c. Goodwin
Co. and bring the company into
court of equity and ask judgment
against Nat G. Goodwin and George
Graham Rice in the sum of $780,
90. alleging that by reason of their
fraudulent representations to him
he has been injured financially TO
that amount
The suit is based on the alleged
transactions of the brokerage com
pany in regard to the purchase and
sale of 100000 shares of stock of
the Rawhide Coalition Co Miller al
leges that the stock was purchased
at Is cents per share under a ,
months option. The plaintiff alleges
that one million shares of the stock
were sold by the company at profit
of from 10 cents to $1.15 per share
and that a deal has been actually
closed for the sale of the remainder
of the block at large profit.
Miller then alleges that he was for
merly the owner of 5000 shares of
stock of the company but that by
reason of Goodwin and Rice repre-
senting to him that the company was
insolvent and that they wished to re-
organize they induced him to resign
as secretary of the company and de-
post his stock with the Scheeline
Banking & Trust Co. until a new
company was organized. He al
leges that by reason of the purchase
of the Coalition stock the value of
his 5000 shares of Nat c. Goodwin
Co. stock is now worth 100000.
Miller also asks for an order of the
court compelling the Seheeline Bank
ing & Trust Co. to return him his
stock.
