COCKTAILS is ExoNERATED.
Alleged Panama Canal Scandal Proved
to Be Thin Air.

Washington. Oct. 2S.--Ins rector
General Darlington of the army, in a
report made public yesterday. exoner-
ated Chairman Goethal of the isthmus
canal commission of the charges made
by President Brothers of the Balanced
Crane Cable company of New York,
who claimed that unfair treatment was
accorded him in the award for fur
nislling and erecting cable ways at
Gatun on the isthmus. General Gar
lington holds that there was no collu-
sion, that the award was made in good
faith, and recommends that the .con-
tract with the Lidgerwood company
was proceeded with. The award was
approved by the secretary of war.
The report says the device of the
Brothers company was not suitable for
work at Gatun plant. and there was
nothing adduced in the investigation
to indicate any other motive than to
put Brothers in charge with technical
scientific engineers who could prob
ably perfect the device so as to make
it practicable for work in the Pedro
Miguel and Mira Flores locks.

Nicholas Tschaikovsky Released
From Prison After Months
OF Confinement
BRITISH PROTESTS ARE NEEDED
Petitions Against Incarceration of Aged
Man Literally Signed in Both Eng
land and United States England
Raises Sum Sufficient to Supply
Necessary Bail.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2S.-Nicholas
Tschaikovsky an aged Russian pa
triot. who has been imprisoned for
nearly year, was released this after
noon. A fund was subscribed in Eng
land to cover the bail demanded by the
Russian government for his release,
and was deposited in the Imperial
bank today
Nicholas Tschaikovsky was the first
leader in the reform movement of
Russia, and was known as "the father
Of the Russian revolution" He was
arrested on the Russian frontier Nov.
90, 1907, and at once confined to the
fortress SIS. Peter and Paul. There
were no specific charges against him.
Tschaikovsky is well known in the
United States and England, having
resided in each country long periods.
His arrest aroused protests from both
Great Britain and the United States,
and petitions signed by many promin-
ent men for his release were sent TO
Russia from London and New YORK
1t chiefly was on account of these ef-
forts that the prisoner finally was set
at liberty today.

TAMMANY TO KNIFE BRYANT
Augustus Thomas, 1t is Said, Will
Make CHARGE Friday Night.

New York, oct. 2S.-A man close to
William j. Bryan says that personally
he felt convinced Tammany Hall is be-
traying Mr.. Bryan and the democratic
party. and that there will be wholesale
knitting of the Nebraskan by the
Tainmanyites on election day.
Moreover. it was stated, the griev-
ances of Bryan's friends would be aired
at meeting of the Progressive Demo-
cratic league at Cooper Union on FRI
day evening. .
Augustus Thomas, the playwright. is
staunch friend of Mr.. Bryan. He is
president, of the Progressive Democratic
league. Mr. Thomas, it was announced
today, would be the principal speaker
at Cooper Union. He is expected to
make u sensational charge against
Tammany Hail. and it's leaders in par

sHowEREp WITH TAFT BUTTONS
Bryan Crowd Gets a Surprise as Taft
Snecial Whizzes Ry.

Hastings on Hudson, N. z, Oct. Is
A shower of Taft campaign buttons
rained among the crowd which had as
sembled here to hear William Jennings
Bryan speak today. The Bryan train
had just come to a halt as the Taft
special whizzed by on its way from
Troy to New York City. Taft was in
his stateroom, but several members
of his party were on the rear platform
of his car, and besides surprising the
crowd with buttons, gave a lusty yell
for the Ohioan. Bryan quickly saw the
identity of the train and waved his
hand in answer to the salutation, and
also threw broad smile at the dis
appearing train,
Bryan hero today charged the re-
publicans had abandoned argument.
"and now attempt to win this election
by use of campaign fund, the source
of which they refuse to disclose. They
are trying to win the election by coer-
cfon, threatening employees with loss
of employment if the democrats win.
and threatening the business world
with panic if the republicans are not
successful" Bryan's audience was
largely made up of railroad men. and
they accorded him \ cordial greeting.

began early in the summer to warn tho
coal dealers of that region to prepare
for winter Circulars were issued and
sent broadcast urging the dealers to
buy their winters supply during tho
summer and fall and not to wait un-
til the winter months.
In addition to the circulars the rail-
roads sent travelling freight agents all
thru the northwest trying to arouse
sentiment with respect to an early sup
ply of coal. TIE dealers were told
that coal could be transported during
the slacl~months and stored for WIN
ters use. Many of the dealers insisted
that they had no storage facilities am

their coal on the ground. Ii the rail-
roads desired to haul the coal into the
northwest and stand a loss by storing

ers chose TO take their chances on late
deliveries. The famine talk did not
alarm the dealers generally, for famine
brings famine prices. and famines
brings famine prices. and famine
prices bring larger profits.
The railroad managers were there
fore compelled to abandon their at
tempt to induce an early ordering OF
coal supplies. The best they could do
was to see that their own supplies were
stored ahead of consumption. so that
if famine threatened they would he in
better position to hurry coal into the
northwest In connection with the coal
supply problem it is stated that less
than 1O.OOO.00O tons of coal will be
shipped from the Pittsburg district TO

SAYS TAFT TIDE is RISING.
Chairman Hitchcock Gets Optimistic
Reports From All Directions.

Reports From All Directions.
New York, Oct. 2S-Chairman Hitch
cock of the republican national COM
mittee said at headquarters yesterday
that the information on which he is to
base the forecast of the electoral vote
which he will give out at the end Of
the week is reaching him rapidly and
that already it is sufficient to convince
him that many surprises are in store
for election day.
From the leaders of the party in Mis-
souri, the reports are far more optlmls-
tic than they have been hitherto, he
said, and in consequence he was almost
tempted to expect that state to show
up in the republican column. He did
not expect to carry Kentucky, but be-
lieved there was promise Of a few elec-
toral votes there for the republican
ticket: and Mr. Hitchcock added that
Tennessee also apparently is prepar-
ing some surprises.
AS to Ohio there was declared to be
no worry 1t was described as abso-
lutely safe Nor was Indiana giving
the republican chairman any concern,
but he was not so hopeful he said, of
Montana and Nevada. However, these
latter two were the only states west
Of the Mississippi that We're in doubt,
according to his way of thinking. New
York was declared to be like Ohio, alb
solutely safe Both Mr.. Taft for the
presidency, and Governor Hughes, for
reelection, We're said to be assured of
victory.

funerals at night" he said, "and there
should be no Sunday funerals, either
day or night. Funerals nowadays are
too extravagant. Too much money is
spent for flowers and carriages, and
there is entirely too much display.
From an extremely solemn function the
funeral has developed .7lto an occa-
sion for vulgar show"
Mr. Eitelgeorge also said there should
be radical reform in funeral sermons.
He thinks there is too much promis-
cuous eulogiZing.
"The safe thing to do would be to
preach gospel sermon" he said. Il
would say nothing good about the de-
ceased unless it were justified by the
facts. Even then I would make it very
brief"
