TAFT WILL SPEAK
TO WAR VETERANS
Republican Nominee to Deliver
Address at National Encamp=
ment of Grand Army

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 2S.--Willam
Howard Taft, Mrs. Taft and Master
Charles left here tonight for Middle
Bass island in Lake Erie. Taft will ad-
dress a gathering of veterans of the
civil and Spanish-Amerrcan wars at
Athens, o., tomorrow. The party will
then proceed to Toledo, where a
steamer will be taken for the home OF
the Middle Bass fishing club, which is
to be the host during the week. Taft
will return TO Toledo September to
deliver a nonpolitical speech to the
national encanlpment of the G. A. r.
His address tomorrow will be devoid
of politics.
The end of the summer vacation of
the republican candidate was the occa-
sion tonight of a rousing farewell by
the several hundred guests of the
Homestead hotel, where the Taft party
lived during the last two months When
the train pulled out at $40 rousin9
cheer was given and many well wishes
were expressed during the few min
utes the party mingled with the crowd
on the station platform.
Mrs. Taft was the guest of honor at
a tea given this afternoon at the cl,if,
house of the hotel, at which many of
the women guests of the hotel par
ticipated.s Mrs. Lelie Hickock of Louisi-
ana was the hostess.
Judge Tafts universal expression
in bidding his southern friends goodby
was that he had enjoyed every minute
of his stay in the Virginia mountains
and that his health and vigor which
he sought In coming here had been
amply supplied
Taft expressed himself as gratified
at the news of the Iowa compromises
which resulted in an amendment to the
primary law at the next session of the
legislature, and also in the counting of
only republican votes at the next cleo
tion on the question of the successor
OF Senator Allison. In Taft's opinion
this arrangement is satisfactory and
relieves the national situation in Iowa
from any complication as a result of
the local contest for the senatorshin.

the members of his party returned here
late this afternoon. after an absence of
over a week. during which Bryan de-
hvered speeches in Iowa, Illinois. In
diana and Kansas. and held political
conferences in Chicago, St Louis and
Kansas City.
The journey from Topeka to Lin
coin, begun early in the morning. con-
sumed the entire day. The route Of
travel carried Bryan through sparsely
settled sections of Missouri and Ne
braska, and in consequence he found
opportunity to transact considerable
business aboard the train and at the
same time secure a much needed rest.
No speeches were made at any point.
Bryan's stay at Fairview will be
brief, as he will start again Sunday
afternoon on a three days speaking
tour, commencing at the fair grounds
between St. Paul and Minneapolis
Monday. From there he will proceed

the workers. seeing him getting the
hose ready, concluded there was a fire

and hustle of machinery. The next in
stant every bench was deserted and the
workers were struggling and fighting
to get out of the building So great
was the panic that even though no one
was injured and the workers were sat
isfed that there was no fire, it took
two hours before the pleading foreman
