attended the gathering, notably John
Trotwood Moore, of Nashville, who
contributed short address that was
pronounced a gem by all who heard it.

of the Republican State Committee;
]. s. Beasley, the Republican leader in

accessories and condiments were a.!
there. After the feast of good things
for the inner man had been finished
John Trotwood Moore was called OH
for a speech. In the coures of his
remarks Mr.. Moore aroused applause
when he spoke of the duty which citi-
zens owe their country. He declared
that the good citizen owed loyalty
to his country above that which he
should give to any party or machine
and he was especially severe in his
remarks anent the Patterson machine,
saying that he would not support that

CALEB POWERS
WILL NOT SPEAK
INDIANA CHAUTAUQUA CANCELS
HIS ADDRESS, FEARING TRoU-
BILE MIGHT ENSUE.

MADISON, Ind, July 23.-Owing
to protests from patrons of the Madi
son Chautauqua on both sides of the
river the Programme Committee has
cancelled the engagement of Caleb
Powers to address next months as
sembly on Right Upon the Scaffold
and Wrong Upon the Throne
The committee was advised that
while Powers address might have at
tracted the largest crowd they have
ever had, it might cause the flames of
passion to be famed to such an ex.
tent among the Kentucky visitors that
some unpleasant scenes might occur.
To prevent the semblance of riot
the committee unanimously decided to
cancel Powers engagement.

NO CHANGE In
Villas CONDITION
HE is STILL UNCONSCIOUS AND
PHYSICIANS SAY HE MAY RE-
MAIN so SEVERAL DAYS.

MADISON, Wis, July 23-"There
is no change in the condition of Col
William F. Villas" said DR.. Philip R.
Fox this afternoon. 'The patient
drank considerable water during the
morning He is still unconscious and
we cannot interrogate him regarding
the affliction. Sometimes he has
shown indications Of consciousness
but not sufficient so that We could
understand anything. There has
been no increase in the fever in the
past twelve hours, and am sure from
the easy breathing Of the patient that
there has been no increase in the size
of the blood clot on the brain during
the twenty-four hours. The patient
is resting quietly and breathing easier.
The rupture is on the left side and is
so situated that in all probability it
will not interfere with any of the vital
organs. He is liable 10 remain in
this condition for several days"

MAKE APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
CINCINNATI SHIPPERS WRITE TO
Mr.. ROOSEVELT AT oYs-
TER BAY.

CINCINNATI. o.. July 24.-Brush-
ing aside all intermediate processes
and modes OF action, the Receivers
and Shippers Association Of Cincin-
natl has carried its war against q
general increase in railway freight
rates directly TO the President Of the
United States. In general effect a
communication forwarded TO Presi-
dent Roosevelt last Saturday at Oys'
ter Bay and made public here tonight,
asks the Chief Executive whether or
not he intends TO enforce a decree
issued some years ago against certain
railroads. If so, he is asked at once
to cause the Attorney General to
bring proceedings for contempt
against the Missouri Pacific railway
and the Chicago, Rock and Pacific
railroad.
Denying that politics had anything
to do. with the letter at this time, 1t
is explained that because of the fact
that certain general increases in
freight rates are to become effective
August 10 by certain roads, prompt
and positive action becomes neces-
sary.
In conclusion the letter says:
This association stands for a
square deal for the carriers. 1t be-
lieves that their property rights
should be protected the same as the
property rights of individuals; but
we are unalterably opposed to any
policy of the carriers which has for
its purpose the ignoring of our courts
and the placing of themselves above
the law of the law If they expect
the protection of the law and the
courts they must show a wholesome
regard for the law and respect the
DEGREES of the courts. If the Missouri
Pacific and the Rock Island delib-
erately ignore this solemn mandate
of the courts and continue in an I'M
lawful manner to burden trade and
commerce among the States by con-
tinually increasing rates, the ques-
ton arises, Is there no power in this
land sufficiently strong to reach rail
road companied that recklessly brush
aside the DEGREES of our courts?"
"This association believes you will,
In carrying our your policy for the
strict enforcement of the law, see to
it that these two railroad companies
are required in the future to observe
this decree"
