stop the horse at the time of the ac-

Defends the Action of Pres.
Taft in His Winona
Speech.
HE DENOUNCES THE PRESS
SAYS REVENUE BILL CANNOT BE
MADE WITHOUT A COMPROMISE
AND THAT LoG-RoLLING CAN'T
be STOPPED.

Elgin, ILL.,, Oct. 2O.-Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon appeared ip the role of the
defender OF the Payne tariff bill and OF
President Taft's Winona speech in an
address at the opening of the annual
convention of the Mayors Association
Of Illinois, here last night
He depicted Senator Cummins of
Iowa, as the ally of William Jennings
Bryan, while he declared that the Ne.
braska leader was advocating tariff re-
vision to force an issue in the presi.
Dental campaign of 1912.
He insisted that the Payne tariff bill
is the best tariff bill that has ever
been enacted in the history of the re-
public. pointing out the turning wheels
OF industry as his proof 1t presented,
he averred. the will of the majority in
congress who supported the rules un-
der which it was passed.
He questioned the truth of newspa-
per correspondence reporting an alli-
ance of six republican senators of H.
linois to defeat him. and denounced
the press of the country.
I'VE passed the Payne tariff BILL" he
said. speaking of the tariff 1T didn':
suit me in every respect It protects
all existing industries, but did not
found any new industries. hoped
that it would.
"A majority of the members of the
house were in favor of that bill, and
bowed to the consensus OF opinion and
voted for it. and am ready to say with
Taft in his Winona speech, that it is
the best tariff bill for protection and
in every other particular that has ever
been enacted in the history of the re-
public.
I've, in Illinois, wanted free lumber,
as did the South and the-Pacific Coast.
The house asked for free lumber. but
the senate, representing the South.
held out for duty.
You can't make a revenue bill ex-
cept by compromise. Some say we
ought to quit log rolling. but it will!
never be so until Jehovah himself takes
command of legislation.
"William Jennings Bryan attacks
that bill and denounces it as fraud
and says he wants the people who to 80
to congress pledged to another revision
so that he can get an issue in 1912
Such agitation within 60 days after the
bill passes, when factories are going,
is little premature.
II was in Iowa last week. 1t is an
open secret there that Senator Cum
Minis practically proposes to join hands
with Bryan. I will not say that he is
going to join Bryan's party. He says
he will not stop until the tariff is re-
vised according to his notion. 1t is
an open secret that Senator Cummins
is out in a campaign to defeat every
congressman in his state who voted
for that BILL

E. E. Cartwright, C. B. Walker
And John Unthank Bruised
But Not Seriously.
ENGINEER BURGESS DIES
PlTTSBURG SPECIAL DUE HERE
At 1855 A. NJ, RUNS INTO OPEN
SWITCH At EFFiNGHAM, ILL.,,
LAST NIGHT.

The Pittsburg Special, which arrives
at the Pennsylvania depot at 1855 in
the morning was wrecked at Effing
ham, ILL.,, last night and Elmer E. Cart
wright. c. B. Walker and John Un-
thank, mail clerks, residing in this
city. were injured. Engineer Lewis
Burgess of Terre Haute, was sa ser
tously injured that he died today at his
home. The wreck was due to the
train running into an open switch.
The three local men were brought to
this city and taken to their homes
where their injuries were examined
and reported not serious. However,
they were suffering from the shock of
the affair and numerous bruises which
may result more seriously than antici-
pated. Mr.. Cartwright lives at 325
South First street, Mr.. Unthank at 1Os
Lincoln street and the address Of Mr..
Walker is not known. All of the men
are married.
According to accounts of the wreck,
the train was passing through Effing-
ham at a fast rate of speed, when it
ran into an open switch and tore up
several hundred feet of track. The
engine and two mail cars were over
turned. the occupants of the same be-
ing thrown around and suffering nu-
merous injuries. Engineer Burgess
was buried underneath the engine and
had the flesh from both legs torn OF.
to the bone. He suffered other inju-
ries. and died soon after his arrival at
Terre Haute.
The train was remade and arrived
here several hours late. The damage
done to the yards at Effingham was
very great and required many hours
work to clear the wreckage.

TAG DAY TOMORROW
Local Doctors Have Issued
Communication Approx
ing Movement.
BE SURE AND BE TAGGED

Tomorrow is Tag Day for the Reid
Memorial hospital and members of the
Ladies Aid society will endeavor to
tie a tag on practically everyone in
the city. The proceeds of the day will
go toward purchasing a conveyance
for the transportation of persons to
and from the institution. It is hoped
a large donation will be made by the
citizens of Richmond who are primar-
lily interested in the welfare of the
hospital and who realize the urgent
need of suitable conveyance to take
visitors to and from the place. The
following communication has been re-
ceived at this office:
I'VE, as members of the medical
profession and as members of the
school board of the Reid Memorial
hospital, wish to express our hearty
approval of the annual hospital tag
day, next Thursday, to receive funds
for the purchasing of conveyance
to take people to and from the hospit-
al. Much inconvenience has been ex-
perienced by the sick and by their
friends who wish to visit them be-
cause there is no special or regular
way of reaching the hospital.
"A week ago the superintendent was
asked to keep a record of the number
OF visitors and the result showed that
there were about four a day for each
patient. This is proof of the need of
some ready method of reaching there
1t is earnestly hoped that tag day will
result in generous contribution"

Children in Case Attempt
To Break the Will.
JUDGE FOX APPROVES WILL

distribution of her estate that in case
any of her children are dissatisfied
with the provisions made, and attempt

which Mrs. Swisher made the unusual
provision. 1t is as follows:
Il expressly will that in case any of
my said children shall even attempt
to set aside or attack the provisions OF
my last will and testament, that child
or those children shall have no part o.
parcel whatever of the property that I
may have at my decease"
The estate which she left is not a
large one. in the usual sense. 1t is
shown in the last will that she pos
sessed 40 acre farm which she listed
at $40 an acre. After all debts. either
of her own or of her husband. who
died before her. are paid. tombstones
erected over each Of their graves. and
provision made for her children for her
care during illness. the estate is di-
vided equally among Richard. Arthur

J. w. Lees, Cashier of Bank,
Was Ordered to Hold Up
His Hands, Yesterday Aft
ernOOn.
ROBBERS frightened;
PURSUED BY A POSSE
Men Escaped After Several
Shots Were Exchanged
With Posse, by Wading the
River-BIoodhound Failed.

Two hold-up men, said to be from
this city, attempted about o'clock
yesterday afternoon to hold up ]. War
rem Lees cashier of the bank at West
Manchester, Ohio, about twenty-five
miles northeast of here. The men
were frustrated in their attempt by a
shot from Mr.. Lees's revolver. A
posse of twenty-five or thirty angry
stockholders Of the institution was
formed, and several shots were ex-
changed between the two parties, in A
field just outside Of West Manchester.
The Dayton bloodhounds were put on
the trails of the hold-up men. The
dogs tracked them to the river, where
the trail was lost. The men evident
ly waded In the stream for more than
a mile or more as the trail was never
recovered by the bloodhounds after it
had been lost at the point where the
men are supposed to have entered the
stream.
Mr.. Lees stated today over the long
distance telephone. that he could iden-
tify the men If they were captured. A
detailed description Of the two has
been sent to every county and city Of
ficial within several miles of West
Manchester and the apprehension of
the two is expected at almost any time.
Officials in this city were notified bv
telephone Immediately, as the West
Manchester authorities are certain
that the men live either in Richmond
or near by.
Shortly after the noon hour the two
men drove into West Manchester from
the southwest and on the road which
leads to this city. They hitched their
horse and hung around the town with
seemingly no purpose. Because OF
their dress and their suspicious ac-
tions, the men attracted the attention
of everyone with whom they came in
contact. No cause for their arrest
was offered during the afternoon. The
two men seemed to be paying close at
tention to the bank and other business
houses. About O'Clock, just at the
closing Of the bank and at which time,
West Manchester was practically dead
yesterday. the two men opened the
bank door and Immediately leveled
their revolvers and ordered Mr.. Lees
to hold up his hands. He responded
with q revolver shot, which frightened
the men away. and at the same time
summoned aid from other business
houses.
The men took to their heels, follow
ed by a few frenzied citizens, who.
however. gave up when the men secur-
ed the advantage by jumping into their
buggy and driving rapidly away. The
constable, accompanied by several 9TH
er citizens, heavily armed, secured an
automobile and gave chase. The men
deserted the rig and started on cross
country run, when they were in DANCE
Of being overtaken. A running fire
was kept up by them as they crossed
the field, which was returned by the
posse.
1t was believed that one of them was
hit, but an investigation afterwards.
failed to prove such. Several in the
posse narrowly missed being shot and
were induced to give up the chase as
the pursued sent back their missives.

rectly over their heads.
