TAFT HAS CONFERENCE
Works AND FISHES.
Secretary Garfeld's Viezo of Cam
p@gn Issues.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Middle Bass Island, Ohio. Sept 4.-Mr. Taft
devoted the greater part of the forenoon to his
correspondence, which for the last two days had
remained unanswered. He then had long
conference on the general political situation with
Secretary Garfield, and late this afternoon hav-
ing accomplished a great amount of work, ne
sought the fishing grounds. in company with
General Corbn and Ted Miller.
The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Gar
field left here this afternoon on the Cleveland
boat for their home at Mentor. Before going
Mr. Garfield discussed the political situation at
some length
There are so many issues local to the differ
ont states, he said, that any big national issue
that could be termed the centre of the campaign
has not vet assumed prominence. But in the
West the chief proposition is the continuance of
the present policy of the development of the
public lands and their resources and the pre-
venton of their monopolization' by single In
terests In the East the conviction is that on
the money question the Republican party is the
safe party to be intrusted with the development
of a sound and logical money system for the
country, and that seems to be the issue which
the East regards as the most important. Ihere
Is also great interest there in the upbudng of
the merchant marine, and the belief prevails
there that the Republican. party is the only party
~SNO-A-
In spots in the East the tariff comes in for much
discussion but this appears to be purely local.
In the Middle West tariff revision is the topic
well in the foreground. A thorough revision is
demanded by the manufacturing interests, and
this demand Is not that all schedules be reduced.
but that many may be lowered and few raised
The principle involved is the which was so
clearly set forth in the Ohio platform and re-
written in the Republican national platform
such adjustment of the schedules as will equal
the difference between the cost of production at
home and the cost of production abroad. That
is the basic principle upon which the revision
can be wisely accomplished.
1.-THE general expression through the country
botF1 East and West is of satisfaction with
general conditions which 1t is desired to con-
tinue, without the slightest intention to coun-
tenance return to the old industrial conditions
which have been exposed and ameliorated under
the Roosevelt administration"
Mr.sTaft and his party will leave Middle Bass
Island for Sandusky4 on Monday evening He
will remain overnight, and leave there on the
following day for Cincinnati. Half of the news
paper correspondents with Mr.. Taft left here
to day for Youngstown, where the national
campaign will be opened by Governor Hughes
ton morrow. They will return Sunday morning.

BYSTANDERS HIT BY FLYING BULLETS.
Miners Wives Hurt In Coal
 Strike Riot.

Scranton, Pa., Sept. 3.-In strike riot at Dunmore Mrs. Adam Kavalko and Mrs. Anna Kordlach were shot while the women were standing on the back porch of the Kavalko home.
 There is strike on at the No. col fiery of the Erie company, and Super intendent Edward Gerwin and some nonunion miners were attacked going to the mine. General Superintendent W. W. Inglish, Superintendent Gerwin and the state police, who had been summoned from the Rockville bar racks, were escorting the nonunionists home when they were accosted by a crowd of the strikers in field near the mine. Stones, it is alleged, were hurled at the nonunionists, whereupon the police charged the crowd.
 The strikers scattered, and many of them ran to the rear of the row of miners houses, where the two women were watching the excitement from a rear porch. Mrs. Kavalko held an in- fant in her arms. Shooting began, and Mrs. Kavalho was struck in the thigh Mrs. Kordlach, who stood beside her was turning to run into the house evi. dently when a bullet struck her in the back. Neither wound is serious.

BALLOON|ST FALLS
 FIVE HUNDRED FEET,
Gas Bag Ignites From Motor
 and Fatal Drop Follows.

Waterville, Me. Sept 3. - In full view of 25,000 mortified spectators, as- sembled on the Central Maine Fair grounds here, Charles Oliver Jones, a well known aeronaut of Hammonds- port, N. r., fell distance of 800 feet to his death. Among the witnesses of the frightful plunge was Mrs. Jones and child. and they were almost the first to reach the side of the dying man. The aeronaut expired about ah hour and half after the accident.
 Jones had been at the fair grounds with his dirigible balloon Boomerang, known as StrObel airship, since Mon- day, the opening day of the big show. He arranged to make flight, but high wind prevailed, and delay was necessary When conditions had modi- fled to some extent he gave the word to have the machine released.
 Wien the aeronaut reached height of more than 300 feet the spectators were amazed to see small tongues of flame issuing from under the gas bag in front of the motor. At this time the balloon had passed out of the fair grounds. Many persons in the great crowd endeavored to apprise Jones of his danger, but several minutes elapsed before he noticed the fire. Then he grasped the rip cord and by letting out gas endeavored to reach the earth. The machine had descended but short distance when sudden burst of flame enveloped the gas bag, the framework immediately separating from the bag.
 Jones fell with the frame of his mo- tor and when the spectators reached him he was lying under it about a quarter of mile from the fair grounds. The gas bag. which fell near by, was completely destroyed.
 The physicians who were in the crowd found that Jones had no chance to survive. as he was injured internal ly, and his spine was broken. Jones was forty years old and leaves a wife and child. It is thought that a leak from the gas bag ignited by sparks from the motor caused the disaster,

 Paris, Sept. 3.--Germany has caused consternation in Paris by notifying the international signatories to the AL geciras agreement that she thinks the present situation in Morocco demands that Mulai Hafid be immediately rec ognized as sultan. It was over Elm peror Williams interference in Mo- rocco that France and Germany came near clash about three years ago, actual hostilities being averted by a conference of the powers at Algeciras.

The stork appeared here during an exciting scene resulting from the efforts of Mary Morovich to hasten slow kitch- on fire at her home in Charlottesville, near here, with kerosene oil. The screams of the girl attracted her moth- CT, Mrs. Andrew Morovich. and the latter fought the flames until her arms and face were burned almost to a crisp. She was assisted to neigh bor's house, and there before doctors arrived she gave birth to child. The young woman who started the fire, the infant and the mother of both were brought to hospital here, where it is said all will probably survive. The Morovich home and four other houses were destroyed.

turned from his trip to this city to review the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 But the grand parade of the Grand Army of the Republic, with its at- tendant throngs, served merely as the background, the scenery of as dramat- ic an incident as has enlivened a po- litical campaign in some years-name- ly. the public meeting of William H. Taft and his erstwhile rival, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker.
 The Republican leader and his antag. onist politically of the preconvention canvass met in the official reviewing stand, shook hands, smiled and ex- changed greetings, while from thou sands of throats came cheer after cheer as the significance of the incl dent dawned upon the beholders.
 That Taft and Foraker are political ly together is not only the public ad- mission of both Taft and Foraker here, but also the political sensation of Ohio
 Senator to Make Speeches.
 Senator Foraker is an avowed candi. date for the United States senate to succeed himself, and his services in the national campaign have been sought by National Chairman Hitch. cock. and the senator has promised to take the stump.
 This rapid composition of political differences. attested by enthusiastic expressions of singleness of purpose by each, makes story" in politics which contains all the elements and phases of the science.
 The conflicting ambitions of both principals, as attested by the precon. veption strife, has constituted not only the official record but the general i'm. pression in the public mind. Both this record and impression were swept out of existence by the recent events.
 When Taft and Foraker met, as re corded on the reviewing stand, they sat down together and remained in earnest conversation for more than an hour, incidentally together receiving the plaudits of the marching veterans Senator Foraker left to keep a busl- ness engagement and Mir. Taft re- mained till the four hour parade had passed.

BRYAN TALKS ON TRUSTS.
Managers Of Rivals Fight Among
 Monopolists, He Declares.

Sioux City, h.. Sept. 3.-Addresslng Democratic rally here. William j.. Bryan, Democratic candidate for the presidency, denounced T. Coleman Du Pont of Delaware, and Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, members of the Republican executive committee, as not being expected to become reform CTS, because, as he charged, all of their affiliation was with the trusts.
 Discussing the question of reforms, MT. Bryan declared that the Republic an party was not in poshitlon to re- form anything. "Why?' he asked. Because its conspicuous members are connected with the very things that need reform, and the Republican party cannot prosecute the guilty without disgracing It's most prominent mem- bers." As an illustration he cited the fact that the Republican national com mittee had selected chairman and that that chairman had selected his executive committee. If" he said, you will read the names of the mem- bers of the executive committee that are now carrying on this campaign you will find that a majority of them are conspicuous for their connection with the very corporations that need regulation. One of them, MT. Du Pont of Delaware, is today the defendant in suit for conspiracy in violation of the antitrust law brought by the Unit ed States government and which is still pending. Mir. Du Pont is defend ant in the action, and yet he is on the executive committee to carry on the Republican campaign and the chair man of the speakers bureau of that committee"
 MT. Bryan asserted that there were more trusts now in the United States than there were eleven years ago. Not only this" he said. but with the most strenuous Republican you ever have had in the. White House he has not succeeded in putting one trust mag nate in the penitentiary."

WANTS AL|MONY
 FROM SUING WIFE,
Says Her Temper Has Kept Him From Working.

Cincinnati. Sept. 3.-In answer to his wife's suit for divorce Ernest Drewitz filed a cross petition, in which he says he wants alimony because his wife's temper has given him nervous prostra- tion and disabled him from doing work.
 Recently Drewitz sued to have set aside a contract he made with his wife by the terms of which he ceded to her in return for her love and affec- ton all claim to her property. Later Mrs. Drewitz sued Drewitz for divorce.
 Mrs. Drewitz is the widow of Frank M Ogden and is sister-in-law of Mrs. Ogden Armour of Chicago. She is one of the wealthiest women in Ohio. Her husband was formerly a preacher and later a piano salesman. This is the fourth time since their romantic we'd ding. April 6. 1903. that their marital troubles have been brought up in court.
