LYMAN F. GAGE AND OTHERS APPROVE
 PLAN IF GUARANTEE BANK DEPOSITS

Lady-like Game" might afford an ap- propriate title for a chapter on MT. Taft's recent campaign trip. It now develops that one of the chief reasons why Mir. Taft took to the rear plat form was. to tell the farmers of the Northwest about goh and to show them that he is not a dude. Mir. Taft emphasized that fact in his speech at Fargo, North Dakota. By infer ence, at least, it was apparent that Mir. Taft wanted to inform his hear CTS that if by any chance he should be elected President there would be no more Tennis Cabinets, such as President Roosevelt maintains, but that he would proceed to organize d Golf Cabinet and play the game on the White lot. He might invite that other distinguished golfer, Jonn D. Rockefeller to play with him, but John D. is not so popular with the farmers and laboring men as he is with the republican party, so Mir. Taft did not mention him.
 Instead of telling the people what he thought about the guarantee U. bank deposits. publicity of campaign
  ators, physical relation of railroads, inunctions and other subects in which . they are interested, Mir. Taft dis cussed golf.
 Here is a record of what he said on the subject, as transcribed from tn stennographer's notes:
 'I want to make a little personal explanation. 1 got an intimation that I ought to go out to North Dakota and convince the people that am not an aristocrat and above the people. They said that had been playing golI this summer, that that is an eastern game and it indicated that l was out of sympathy with the plain people. Well, now, I want to state my case in order to satisfy public opinion on that game of golf. In Scotland, golI is the game of the poor, and in this country where you can get a place to play it, it is the game of the people that are not active enough to play baseball and tennis-that have too much weight to carry around And yet when a man weighs 295 pounds you have got to give him some oppor tunity. It may be that it is a game of rich men, but I beg to assuhe you that I am personally advised of the fact that very poor man can play it . But somehow, or other my friends were certain that if could only come | out here and show you the kind of . man I am in appearance that you would get over the impression that there is anything about me that re 4 sembIes a dude. So, am here and am glad to be here"
 After setting himself right on tlIt all important golf question, NIT. Taft proceeded to explain why it was that two gentlemen" as he characterized them who had violated the antitrust law, and who were presidents of twC subsidiary concerns of the Tobaccc Trust, had not been put in jail, wheI they had confessed their guilt.

bit ladylike after she met him on West Forty-fourth street a short dis tance from Broadway. Neatly dressed and demure looking, Mir. McClaVe sus- pected nothing wrong. His story in court was that she asked him to di- rect her to another street, and as he half turned his mead to reply her pow erful right arm went about his neck in the most approved style of strangle hold.
 Vita his head thrown back by a grip that almost paralyzed him, his assailant's other hand ripped open. his waistcoat, deftly lifted the wallet in the inside pocket, and then went through every pocket with lightning like rapidity.
 In not more than a second she had stripped the pockets bare and then ssc let go of her victim for a moment, emptied his wallet and cast 1t int the street.
 A crowd collected, but it's sympathy went with the woman. The pair was still struggling when a cab stopped near the curb. The woman broke away and jumped into it. But Mo. Claye. who was covered with blood torn and senTaged, rushed upon her again and dragged her from the vehicle.

D. ". McCIave, wio had a meteoric career in Yavspai county, first aS manager of the Easy Boss mine at Mayer. and later as publisher of the Arizona Mining Review, now defunct, is in trouble in New York. Or rather, to be more explicit, he was in trouble. He claims that he was held up by a female footpad and parted with $16S as a result of his passing acquaintance with pretty Nellie Brown of the bright light district. All of the New York papers, following the day of the ai- legged hold-up, contained articles lucid iy descriptive of the sanguinary en- counter, and two papers published pictures of his brunette assailant. The New York Telegraph thus describes it:
 Nellie Brown, remarkably pretty and also remarkably muscular for her sex, made a relentless enemy out oi Edward ". McClaye, a mine ownei and engineer of Prescott, Ariz. Nellie was held in S1 1,500 bail for examina ton on Wednesday on charges ol having garroted, beaten and robbed him of $16S on West Forty-fourtt street early yesterday morning. Just for that Mir. McClaye, who Is a so1 of former Police Commissioner Mo CIave. who held office in the early ees says he'll drop all his other business and attend strictly to the prosecution of the pretty but powerful Nellie, wih a view of having her sent up state t an institution where she can develoI her muscle some more at the expens' of the state.

Special to Review,

CHICAGO. Oct. so.-The proposi ton to guarantee bank deposits which h advocated in the democratic plat form is not without support from emi nent republican authority. Refer ence to tae hearings which were had in congress last winter before the House committee on Banking and Currency shows that the plan of guar anteeing bank deposits was cordially , endorsed by so high a repgbllcan fin ancier as the Hon. Lyman J. Gage, ex-Secretary of the Treasury and by the Professor French Johnson. Dean of tae New York University School Of Commerce.
 The committee had under consider ation the Fowler Currency bill. one provision Of which was for a guaranty of bank deposits. Discussing the sub Iect MT. Gage. according to the off cial report of the hearing, said: "The stumbling block in the bill to most everybody. at first blush, is the guar. antee of deposits. It stumbled me. fell right down over that 1 said hcFCAs ACfCs NuhI "Oh AOs put T reflected on this. I studied this bill and I am persuaded that it is just equitable. wise and right that the creditors Of the banks which come under the provisions of this bill should have their deposits guaranteed to them as will be the banks circulat ing notes held by the general public
 There is no difference in priuci ple."
 At another hearing on the same bill Professor Johnson said: At first baked at the guaranteeing of depos it's. That seemed to me too much like praying to the Lord that He would let us drink all the champagne WI want and give some other fellow the headache. But when I considered thu nature of the guarantee was won over to what seemed at frs an unscientific and dangerous prop osition- If one of the district com mittees provided for in this bill dis covers that any bank is transgressinl the laws of sound banking. the com n1ittee will have power to compel { conservative policy The Canadian banks possess similar power at thi! time Canadian banks art tied together by a common gGarant! fund for the protection of note holder I regard it a most excellen feature of the Fowler bill that 1t VII compel the bankers of the Unitet States to keep a sharp eye upon on' another. I do not believe the guar anteeing of bank deposits would re suit in bad banking, or that anybod. would deposit in any ofd nationa bank People would select their banks as they do now I an inclined to think there would be les unsound banking than there is now
