Cooper. heretofore alleged to have
been shot by Carmack, was In fact
wounded by bullets from his fathers
revolver, intended for Carmack. is
the startling statement made by Will
A. Percy, well known attorney.
Mr.. Percy says that the son was
behind Carmack. and the father In
front, each so near their victim that
the son was powder burned by the
fathers fire. That two chambers of
Carmack's pistol had been fred. the
lawyer says, means nothing. for the
weapon was in the hands of his en-
emies two hours before It was turned
over to the officers. and besides Car

Government to Assist Holland
in Chastising Obnoxious
Little Republic
HAS ANY GRIEVANCES TOO
British Official Declare. His Govern
mont Would Have Taken Over the
Job Had 1t Not Been Undisnified
and Looked Like Bullying a Weaker
Power.

London, Aug. 29.-"It would not be
safe to say that Great Britain will
not take some action to assist Holland
in her dispute with President Castro.
OF Venezuela, as there is yet no telling
what turn the matter may take" were
the carefully weighed words of an Of
ticial of the foreign office when ques-
toned today regarding the Rome dis
patch setting forth that the powers OF
Europe are in communication with
each other on this subject and that
there were some references to Vene-
zuela between British and American
diplomatic representatives.
No decision, however, the Rome dis
patch said, had yet been reached as
to the action, If any, that would be
taken. Great Britain is in much the
same position as the United States, the
official went on. She has many griev-
ances against Castro, but she is re-
luctant to take action, now that q
smaller power is likely ito bring him
to account. Great Britain feels she
can support Holland without being ac-
cused of bullying the little state. which
probably would be the case if she acted
individually.

sons for the return toward normal con-
ditions. 1t is the opinion af the ex-
perts that the country has sweathered
the storm which broke last October
with exceptional good luck and that
there Is nothing In sight to indicate
any distress ahead. Extreme optimism
is the rule today in Washington circles.
Customs receipts during. the last ten
days have approached normal condi-
tions. The receipts for the last week
show an average of more than $1,000
900 day, which is up to the regular
average. The response of internal rev.
enue receipts has not been, quite so
active, but these, too, show an aWak-
ening that was not anticipated.
One Of the principal reasons for the
rapid increase of customs receipts, 1t
was pointed out, has been the taking
out of bonded warehouses of goods held
there awaiting the demand of the job
bers. The retailers, it is explained. de-
ferred tying UP their money by tax
ing goods out Of bond when there was
no active demand. Now that the as
sortment of goods is very .ueh pr oxen
and the quantity very small on the
shelves of the retailer, the latter is
making calls for the goods to meet
the new demand owing to the revival
of business and the largeness OF the
crops.

TAFT broke away from his schedule to-
day and delivered an impromptu po-
liticai speech from the back platform
Of the train, with Mrs. Taft by his
side. In which he pitched the campaign
spn the single issue:
(which party by its works and not.
by It's promises has earned the conf
dence not only of capitalists. but wage
earners and farmers?''
The speech was cheered by a crowd
OF 1000, being residents of Gallipolis.
where the Taft trains stopped five
minutes shortly after. this morning.
Athens gave Taft rousing welcome
ana when he later reached that place
several thousand OF her citizens made
themselves part Of the reunion of vet
erans Of the county now being held
and listened with interest to a short
speech by THE candidate. in which he
eschewed politics and devoted himself
to the human interest of the life of the
veteran. Because of freight wreck
near Dyersville, on the Ohio Central,
the Taft train detoured at Gallipolis
over the Hooking Valley road, causing
a delay Of more than an hour. Toledo

Glad to Note Welcome Given Spanish,
and Philippine Soldiers.


Athens, o., Aug. 29.-In an address
to che war veterans, here today, Judge
Taft said, among other things: Meet
ings Of this kind evoke expressions Of
the deepest patriotism. as recollections
of our country's perils and the sacri-
( lices that were made to save her, are
revived in memory" He said he was
glad to note that the veterans Of the
civil war welcome the association with
them, OF the veterans Of the Spanish
and Philippine wars. and he wished to
emphasize that life or health lost in
the Philippine war, entitled the loser
to exactly the same gratitude that the
country feels to those who lost their
lives or health in the civil war. MANY
4 valuable lives" he said, were lost on
those islands. but as they were lost
iii an effort by this country to dis
charge its highest duty toward an un-
fortunate people providence htd thrust
upon It, they were discharging the duty
owed by fellow citizens Of the world
and they are entitled equally with
other soldiers of the republic who
fought to uphold the flag to a place
upon Its roll Of honor"

FANS" CROWD PARK
Extraordinary interest in Chicago New
York Ball Game-Thousands Early
Before the Gates, Bringing Lunches.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-At 9 o'clock this
morning, six and one-half hours before
the scheduled hour for opening of the
game, small lines of men and boys
stood before the various entrances to
the west side base ball park, waiting
for tickets for the second of the cru
cial games between the New York and
Chicago teams of the National League.
BY noon, as many business firms dur
ing the summer give half holidays on
Saturday the hundreds of the early
morning had become thousands, and
squads of policemen were required to
preserve order
Many persons brought lunches with
them and sat munching food long be-
fore the first uniformed figure appeared
at the club house. The superheated in
terest manifested in the game is due
not only to its important bearing on
the pennant race between New York
and Pittsburg, Chicago being within
striking distance, but to the report that
Pitchers Matthewson, Of New York,
and Brown, of Chicago, would oppose
each other.
When the gates were opened, the
crowd was so great that traffic on the
streets about the park was greatly i'm
peded. The grand stand was soon filled,
and before 1 o'clock, the crowd was
pouring into the field. The large
,,r,,,hor of oor,p fhof ncirn1ed
the outfield wee soon occupied AS
the Chicago team appeared for prac-
tice, there was tremendous cheering.
A Gordon of police kept the crowd from
encroaching On tlls diamond.

The flood came upon Folsom without

It was learned today that Mrs. RookA
had ample warning to escape. A resi-
dent of the hills telephoned her that
the waters were rising rapidly, and
that she would be flooded out In an
hour If she did not leave. Instead OF
needing the warning, the woman set
herself about saving others. More
than forty residents seen today said
they had received warning from the
central Office, and prepared for the
emergency. Apparently. Mrs. Rookie
had not finished with the list Of SUBJ
scribers when the waters reached her.
