DELAY IS CoUNs:uED Br LEADERS
influential Members Of Senate Think
Matter Should be Considered In
Connection with Report Of Monetary
Commission-Mr. Taft Opposes
Guarantee.
(By Associated Press,

BEVERLY, MASS. Aug. 25.-Pres-
ident Tart indicatec ia talks with
callers today that in his message 10
congress next December he Will
strongly urge the establishment OF
postal savings bank system.
The President realizes that there Is
strong opposition % such legislation
at this time. and while ne does not
propose TO rush congress on too many
matters at once. he viii ask that the
platform declaration OF the kepubli-
can party in favor of postal hanks be
fulfilled as speedily as possible.
influential members Of both the SEN
ate and house are urging that the
matter be left over until the none
tary commission has made its report
and ensuing financial Legislation has
been disposed of. II has even been
said that the relation between the
subjects to be dealt with by the mone-
tary commission and the postal banks
is so close that the two should be
handled together.
Would Bring in Millions.
President Taft believed that several
hundreds Of millions would be placed
at the disposal of the government
through postal savings banks. IL is
suggested that this money might well
be employed in taking up the $780,
600, 900 or 500 1890. 900 of government
two per cent bonds. which are out
standing and which have given much
concern to the treasury department
officials
Already the two per cent bonds are
selling below par. and there is fear
of further depreciation in view Of :
per cent issues. which have been au-
thorized and which soon may DC
placed on the market
Appeal Only to Tinid Hearts
The President believes that the pos
tai banks would appeal only to those
tim.d hearts who are afraid TO trust
the ordinary banks and who would
rather get the per cent or less IN
terest which she government would
give NudH W pidCt tht hicAtF IA NH'
regular savings banks where ii would
draw from to per cent interest
each year.
BY placing the interest to be allow
ed by the postal banks at less than
per cent. Mr. Taft is convinced tha'
no harm would be done TO the ordi
nary banks CT commerce.
Oppose to Bank Guarantee.
President Taft expressed himself
again today as he did so often during
the campaign OF year ago, as unai'
terably opposed to guarantee o
bank deposits.
As TO thee barge CT paternalism re
fiectcd in the postal bank idea. Presi
dent Taft. in stating his position To
day declared that he thought IL rather
far-fetched.

Minority in This State-No Liquor
Legislation.
Especial to the Daily Press).

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 25.-Rich-
ard Evelyn Byrd, speaker Of the
house. and che OF the conferees OIL
the Democratic leaders in this city
today, tonight, in an interesting inter-
view, outlined the policy of the Demo-
cratic party in the impending CAM
paign, and foretold what the next leg
isIature is expected to do with the
liquor question.
The conference today, the speaker
said, was not intended TO be III any
sense a secret conference, except mas
much as it was necessarily a private
meeting The meeting. he said, was
for the sole purpose of outlining a
plan Of campaign and to formulate
plans for bringing out the stay-at-
home Democratic vote. The speaker
is confident that the entire vote OF
the state will be polled at the Novem-
Der election.
Vigorous Campaign of Oratory.
A vigorous campaign of oratory is
to be launched in ever section of the
state. Among the prominent speak
ers who will be sent out IN the in
terests of the party will be Harry St
George Tucker, the defeated Demo-
cratic candidate, and Henry Stuart,
who withdrew from the race on ac-
count of the illness of his wife.
Other speakers will be named later.
Particular stress was laid upon the
fact that the proposed vigorous cam
paign is launched, not through any
fear Of Republican supremacy in the
state, for it is a foregone conclusion
tnat the Democratic nominees, will De
elected, but to put stop once for all
to the nearly boast of the Republican5
that they have a fighting chance to
carry the state because OF the apathy

The Republicans are to be shown
once and for all that Democracy Is
supreme in Virginia Inc ambition OF
President Taft to break the Solid
South" as a political factor, will not

There are between thirty and tor
ty thousand Democrats in Virginia.
the speaker said. who stay away
from the polls because they know be-
forehand that the Democratic ticket
will be elected without their assist
ance. These forty thousand votes are
to be polled at the November eiec-
ton. The best orators in the state
are to be pressed into service. No
stone will be left unturned to show
the Republicans that they are over
wheimingly in the minority in Vir-
ginia.'
The toasts of Republican gains ann
chance for that party to win. Byrd
saws is the most iu.e Of idle talk.
Speaking of the legislature which
will assemble in this city in January,
and the work which will confront II,
the speaker was emphatic in the
statement that there will be no al
tempt TO go into ;hc liquor question
further than to change in some I'M
material points anu perfect the Byrd
bill. which is now a law. II Is not
anticipated that the liquor question.

[ RlED TO
APPEAL
HAD BEEN CAUGHT MAPPING BY
JUDGE HORN.
Famous Richards Case Is Kicked Out
Of Court-One Of the Libel Actions
Against the Standard.

The case of Alice Lewis Richards
VS.. The Standard and William Glas-
mann was called up before Judge
Chidester this morning at 1870
o'clock for the purpose Of settling the
bill of exceptions and preparing the
case for an appeal to the supreme
court. This Is the case in which the
jury little over year ago rendered
a verdict Of no cause Of action in favor
of The Standard and Mr.. Glasmann
1t will be remembered that this Is
the case in which The Standard did a
little growing because OF its victory
over c. G. Richards, Arthur Pratt and
J. D. Skeen, the attorneys against The
Standard, and In which The Standards g
attorneys were highly congratulated
upon the splendid victory; which re-
suited In Richards. Skeen and Pratt
each filing a suit against The Stand
ard for $4,000 damages.
Attorney a. G. Horn, for The Stand
ard and Mr.. Glasmann. objected to the
court taking any action in the case
for the reason that Mrs. Richards and
her attorneys had been negligent and
had allowed the time TO pass In which
to take an appeal In said case. Her at
torney responded that no notice of the
decision had ever been served on the
plaintiffs attorneys and that the six
months time did not run until such
notice was given. ....
Attorney Horn then called the
courts attention to the court records,
showing that such notice was filed and
served February II, 1908.
The court then decided that proper
notice had been given and that the
time for appeal had elapsed and re-
fused to allow the proposed bill OF ex-
ceptions.
This finally disposes Of another Of
the famous Richards cases In favor OF
this paper. There are several other
cases still pending which, 1t Is hoped,
also will be disposed Of soon.
