 The immense tent in which the meeting was held was reached by a four mile auto ride through Cleve- land. When Mir. Taft appeared he was warmly welcomed. He showed from his viewpoint why 1t was that the American workman needed the pro- lection of the tariff and what had been the result when he had not had that with detailed account of his own personal experience with the labor world. He explained that the decis- ions he has rendered while on the bench and for which he was now con- demned by Bryan and GompeFs. were in reality the legal basis of labor or- ganizations of the present day and upon that basis they had grown and prospered until today they were stronger than before.
 While fourteen audiences were ad- dressed by the candidate today. his big meetings were at Wadsworth. Elcria. Lorain. Cleveland and East LlVerpooi.
 At Lorain. cheer for Debs inspir- ed Mr. Taft to say:
 Mir. Debs Is a socialist" He said when the applause died out. "Mr. Debs Is logical. He is opposed to the institutions of this country as they have been established by the constitution. He has a right to be If he chooses rovided he accomplishes his methods by legal and non violent ways. Therefore I am not going tc criticize MT. Debs' In Cleveland, Mir. Taft said fin part.

Edna Wallace Hopper Tells of the Gift
 of Auto.
 New York, Oct. 13.-Edna Wallace Hopper. tls, actress, today told Charles E. Littlefleld. receiver of the failed brokerage firm of A. O. Brown and Company. that the head of that firm and she are engaged to be married
 The receiver was inquiring into the circulation under which A. O. Brown gave Mss Hopper a $75OO automobile and transferred to her an insurance policy on his life for 5000.
 Miss Hopper, who had been called as witness declared that the transfers were made long before the big brok- craze firm got into trouble.
 MT. Brown gave me these In March" said she, Knowing that of all things I most wanted. I had never re- ceived motor car. He knew I would enjoy it.''
 The young woman then stated that at the time of the transactions fin question there existed and there still exists an engagement of marriage be- tween her and MT. Brown. It was in consideration of this engagement, she sald' in reply to- questions by Mir. SroWn's lawyers that the automobile was given and the life insurance policy transferred to her.
 Miss Hopper said that after the gift aud nearly up 10 the time of the fail ure Mr. Brown had paid the garage oill but when she went on tour with a theatrical company and took the car with her, she paid the garage bills herself. Mir. Brown also had paid the chauffeur up to within three weeks of the failure. said Miss Hopper, and then she paid him herself The insurance policy was given her two weeks af- ter she received the auto. she said.
 MT. Browns deceased wife had been the beneficiary" went on the wit ness, and he wanted me to be the beneficiary the same as she had been. He told me to give 1t to my attorney and have the transfer made
 A formal demand that the autamo- bile and the insurance policy be t.Irn- ed over to the receiver was then made. Before Miss Hopper could reply to the request Attorney Laurtrbach, special counsel off the firm of A. O. Brown & Co.,, asked, Was there any engage ment of marriage between you and Mir Brown?"
 "Yes," replied Miss Hopper. "It be- gan on the day the car was presented to me.
 And there was an engagement ring which you still have?' continued Lau- terbach.
 ing and blushing. "Yes. still have it."
 You are still engaged"
 We are"
 'Now. Miss Hopper you have said there was no consideration in return for these gifts?"
 Yes
 You repeat that?''
 ''Weu, there was no consideration other than my engagement to marry Mir. Brown"

THE SUPREME COURT
MANY IMPORTANT CASES ARE ON
 DOCKET.
Highest Tribunal of the Land Begins Sitting Railroad Cases cnd oil Company Cases To
 He DOcketed.

Washington. Oct. 13--Beginning at 12 o'clock today the call of the docket in the Supreme Court of the United Staes for the 190S-09 term was begun.
 Among the matters of interest many important railroad questions will re- ceive the courts attention. and of these, the appeal from the decision of the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on the commodities clause" of the inter state commerce law as affecting the anthracite coal roads, will probably occupy first place with the public.
 An important case near the head of the call Is that of the Waters-Pierce oil Company, of St. Louis. This is an appeal by the company. from decisions of the Texas State courts busting tho company from doing business in that State and imposing fine of over $l.~ 600, 900 against it on the charge of vio- lating the antitrust laws of t,.e com monwealth.
 The waters-Pierce Company Is ideu tified with the Standard oil Company and on that account as we'll as the fact that Senator Bailey has been charged with giving assistance to the com pany in it's controversy. the suit has attracted Lluch attention.
 case recently docketed will teSt the validity of the Haskell bank gusr- anty law of Oklahoma. and another in- stituted by one of the negro soldiers discharged on account of the BrownS- vile riot will deal with the right of the President to summarily dismiss an enlisted man before the expiration os his term,
 StilI another case deals with New York's eighty cents gas law, the con- stitutionality of which is attacked.

 Berlin. Oct, 13-A wireless message received today from Arnold, the con ductor of the St. Louis balloon in the Gordon Bennett race says: Lost everything in the North sea last night."t}
 Another dispatch received here says that the St. Louis sank In the North sea and that it's occupants were rescued by schooner.
 It is believed here that the fog pre- vented Mr. Arnold and Mir. Hewitt, who accompanied him, from seeing the water and that they were blown out to sea without knowing where they were going.
 The Belgian balloon Utopia landed at g o'clock yesterday evening near Cuxhayen, within 500 yards of the head.
 The German Koelen landed at 1 o'clock this morning on the Island of Norrstrand and the German. Pegnitz. came down at dawn today about 200 yards from the water near Bremen haven.
 These airships left Berlin yesterday in their endurance contest in the fourth class. A half a dozen others have come down close to the sea.
 The balloon St. Louis, in charge of M. Henry Arnold, left Berlin Sunday in the international cup contest. It was sighted Monday morning at 10:50 o'clock from Caiau, moving in a south westernly direction.
 It is the second American balloon to meet with an accident. The Con- dueror blew up at an altitude of 1000 feet immediately after the start and the two occupants had a miraculous escape from death.
 The Spanish balloon Montanes, an- other contestant came to grief yes- terday morning over Saxonia. but the pilot and his assistant reached the ground without injury.
 The wireless message from Arnold was sent from the iightship off Heligo- land. zs
 The schooner that picked up the ball. loonists Is the pilot boat Wangsr0g. So far as is known, the two men have not yet been landed.
 The America II with Captain Mccoy and MT. Vogahmani on board. landed safely near Cuxhaven this afternoon. The Princess. Victoria's German bal loon dropped in the harbor of otterm- dorf at o'clock this morning. The occupants. Milarsh and Won Roedert. swan ashore.

That is sufficient under the Fed eral statutes" said Mir. LAuterbach. Then, turning to tbe counsel for the receiver. he continued:
 Do you make a demand for the ring? Because if you do we refuse to accede to the demands of the re- ceiver."
 Miss Hopper firmly, You don't get that ring.
 Don't want it," exclaimed counsel for the receiver tersely.
 Miss Hopper also formally declined to give up either the automobile or the insurance policy. She also testi- fled to having received a gift of money from Mir. Brown after returning from an automobile tour which she took alone. The money was Just a gift to do with as I pGased." This con c1uded her testimony.

 Springfield, O.. Oct. 13.-Judge AL ton B. Parker addressed meeting or Democrats here today and reused an audience which practically filled the Grand opera House to an unusual pitch of enthusiasm.
 In his address Judge Parker paid narticular attention to the tariff and to the publicity of campaign contribu- tfons. He bitterly scored President Roosevelt for what he charged was his insult to Mir. Bryan in connec- ton with the Haskell episode and for his stand on the question of mak- ing public the subscriptions. He charged the Republican party with being hand in glove with the posses sors of swollen fortunes made possi- ble by Republican tariff legislation. and said the party despite the state ment of It's leaders had no intention of severing its connection with cor porate interests.
 Judge Parker left this evening for Nashville. Tenn.
