gates of the Hamilton Chamber Of

OF the Treasure state. as well as all of
the western states, and that Montana

AMERICAN GUNS.
Tess Ornamental Than Those Of Eu.
rop and Sold at Half the Price.

The weapons of continental Eu-
rope, England and America are con-
structed on similar lines, Of Identical
quality of steel and wood, have the
same systems of choking and boring
and the character of workmanship is
not essentially different.
There are minor variations, OF
course, dictated by taste and habit.
Europe tends to multiplicity OF lock-
ing devices. America to simplicity.
But the one American rotary bolt. is
stronger and more lasting than the
quintuple fastening of foreign arms.
American and English guns are
alike noted for their perfection OF
balance, beauty of outline and severe
simplicity of scroll engraving. Cont
mental Europe tends to horidity #
namentation with the most artistic
pictorial effects in engraving and
wood cutting.
One thing the American manufac-;;
turer can and does do, says outings
he can give you as much gun for 500
as Europe can for 5000. Grade for
grade it will be found on examination
that there is very little to choose be-.
tween an American gun costing $50.
and an imported arm at 500. IL
money is no object then exercise your
fancy in absolute confidence that a
beautiful and satisfactory arm can be
obtained either at home or abroad.

Remarkable STORY OF A PLOT AGAINST ROCKEFELLER

|, up a railroad track near the church
and stopped when I heard some one
talking in a dark shed. One voice
said:
81 don't see why we came here
from Pittsburg. We might have
waited until TOMORROW and gone to
Canton to meet Bill. We might as
well get our money for killing old
John D. We will get what is coming
to us, whether we kill him o. kidnap
| him. Bill and the other fellow have
| plenty of money and are willing to
pay well for putting old Rockefeller
out of the way
AZ sneaked around to head the fell
lows off, to get a good look at them.
1 stumbled as I was getting away, be-
cause it was dark. They saw me, but
I hurried along and headed. them of
around the next block. I had a good
look at both Of them. They recog-
nized me and remarked that they had
seen me before, but I hurried along
and paid no attention.
Monday I went to Canton and told
Chief of Police H. w. Smith. I eI-
pected to come to Cleveland Monday,
and Chief Smith insisted that 1 tell
Chief Kohler. I saw him Monday
night. He took the matter up with
Chief Stamberger, in East Cleveland.
He was greatly interested.
"Stamberger insisted that / accom-
pany him to Forest Hill to tell John
D. just what I heard. I did not like
Ito, but consented when he insisted.
4 told John d. just what I heard and
Rockefeller told me he believed me
and asked thatfI remain in Cleveland
Tuesday to max Identification in
case arrests were made. I told him
I was doing this for principle and re-
fused when he offered to pay my ex.
penses while In Cleveland. I am a
responsible man and did not come
here with an imaginary story for the
sake Of ~notoriety or gain. I would
not have come here except that my
business called me here anyway. l
preferred to leave the matter in the
hands of the Canton police"
Bears a Good Reputation.
] Canton, Ohio. = Harold Sawyer
| Smith bears a good reputation in Min
erva and Canton. Here he is known
to several lawyers and physicians who
vouch for his integrity. He is a man
of family, the son-in-law of Edward
Tillett, well-known lumber dealer,
with whom he lives one and one-half
miles east of Minerva.
William II. Smith, foreman in the
Morgan Engineering Works, i'll ALI
ance, is the brother Smith was visit
ing Sunday. He also has a brother
in-law in Alliance, Montgomery Til
lett, proprietor of a shooting gallery.
Chief Smith, of the Canton police,
has complete faith that Smith is tell
ing the truth. HE vas recommended
to me by A. H. Elliott. an attorney OF
this city. He told his story in a
straightforward manner. In detail
it has not varied since it was first re-
lated, although he has repeated II a
number of times. / am convinced he
is not drawing on his imagination"
Smith returned to Canton full OF
praise for Rockefeller. HE is one Of
the finest men I ever had the pleasure
Of meeting" he said.

Cleveland, Ohio.-A remarkable
story of a plot to kidnap or assas-
sinate John D. Rockefeller was made
public here.
The story seems incredible, but
thorough investigation by the New
York Americans correspondent
shows:
That Harold Sawyer Smith, the
man who revealed the alleged plot, is
a mill owner OF Minerva, Stark Coun-
ty. Ohio, a man Of means and whose
responsibility is vouched for by Chief
of Police W. H. Smith, Of Canton.
That the police chiefs Of several
I: Ohio cities have taken Mr.. Smiths
story seriously.
: That, according to Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Rockefeller himself declared his be-
lief in Mr.. Smiths narration.
One Principal, Two Hirelings.
The alleged plotters are three in
number, so far as known, n prin-
cipal and two %hirelings. Mr.. Smith
says he overheard a conversation be-
tween the hirelings at Alliance on
Sunday night and that they referred
to the man who hired them as Bill"
a man Of money.
Mr.. Smith, accompanied by James
Stamberger, chief of the East Cleve-
land police, told the story Of the al
legged plot to the master Of the Stand
ard Oil in the Forest Hill living room.
Guards about the estate were doubled
and plans were made for what ap-
pears to be q. basty departure for
Pocantico Hills.
Mr.. Rockefeller was Scheduled to
speak that night at the banquet OF
the Mems Club Of the Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church, known as Rockefel-
ler's church. He had accepted the
invitation only laBt Friday. He failed
to appear, but sent word that he must
pack for his intended departure for
the East.
Mrs. Rockefeller, whose illness has
delayed the usual October start for
the East, was willing to attempt the
Journey. She Is in better health than
for several months. When the party
of three-Mr. Rockefeller, Mrs.
Rockefeller and the formers secre-
tary-boarded the private car Brook
line at the EGSI iUoIu oIASSI S1s.eAoH
of the New York Central Line at 3.45
o'clock this afternoon the little group
at the depot was half made up of de-
tectives in plain clothes. The rest
of the Rockefeller party, contrary to
custom, had been sent to the Union
station.
Dodges Camera at Depot.
Mr.. Rockefeller alighted from his
motor car for a moment. A photog-
rapher aimed a camera at him, and
he jumped iuto the auto and ordered
it kept moving down the street at a
swift pace until the trains arrival.
Meanwhile a police search is being
made for the men described by Mr..
Szith. He told the story first to the
Canton police chief, was sent to Chief
Kohler, of Cleveland, and then to
Chief Stamberger, Of East Cleveland,

English Lords Do Unprecedented Act.

London, By Cable.-In the scdate,
detached manner characteristic of
proceedings in the gilded chamber,
and in direct disregard Of the advice
of some of its ablest and oldest mem
beers, such as Rosebery, Morley, Lord
James Of Hartford, Lord Cromer,
Lord Balfour Of Burleigh, the Earl of
Lyileton, Lord Courtney and the
archbishops of Canterbury and York,
the House of Lords Tuesday created
a situation unprecedented in English
history, at least in three hundred
years, by refusing formal assent to
the budget bill and referring it to the
country itself for judgment, thereby
in theory, making it Illegal to collect
taxes to carry on the Kings govern
ment.
After six days. debate, notable for
the high standards of the oratoryy as
well as for the able and convincing
arguments arrayed on both sides for
and against the budget, and placing
in every possible light the aspects of
the great constitutional questions in
volved. the House Of Lords cleared
for division at half past eleven
o'clock Tuesday night. The secene
was impressive but in no ex-
citing. None would have supposed
that the event proceeding was destin-
ed not only to prove memorable in
the annals Of British history, but Fos-
sibly also involving far-reaching
changes in the British constitution.
