ELECT BY POPULAR VOTE
SUGGESTION MADE BY BRYAN To
PRESIDENT TAFT.
Would Like to Have Two Amend
ments Attended to By the
States; the Senators.

Lincoln, Neb., July l4.-William j
Bryan today addressed letter to
President Taft asking the president
to allow the people to vote on popu'
lar election of senator's. Mr.. Bryan
says:
president Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the rati-
fication of the amendmet specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them a chance to vote an amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by popular
vote?
"In your speech of acceptance you
said that you were personally inclin-
ed to favor such change in the con.
stitution. Would this not be an op.
perfume time to present the subject
to congress? Two constitutional amend
ments one authorizing income tax
and the other providing for the popu
lar election of senators would make
your administration memorable, and
L pledge you whatever assistance
can render in securing the ratification
of these amendments. With great re,
spect, l am, Yours truly, VIM. j

CUT FLoATERS ARMY
CALL OF THE HARVEST FIELD IS
REDUCING NUMBER IDLE.
Not So Many Boarders at the NUM-
cipal and Ten Cent Lodging
Houses in Chicago.

Chicago July l4.-Harvest and rail
road work has reduced the army of
"hoaters" at the municipal and 10
cent lodging houses of Chicago more
radically than usual and indications
show that more than common is being
squeezed out of them. Rights of way
of all railroads are dotted with camp
fires of hobos but great immigra-
tion of workers is reported from Kan
sas to states further north, particular
ly North Dakota and its wheat fields.
Later they will probably turn up in
Nebraska and Iowa corn fields. There
is said to be a larger sprinkling of
young fellows, students in high schools
and college than in previous years, all
out for ''the experience" but acquiring
blisters, sunburn and "wonderlust''
they'll not soon forget. The gent from
Chicago lodging houses, after a hectic
and expensive stay in some city, will
head next for the lumber camps and
still later for the ice fields unless they
let themselves be shipped out on some
railway job. The typical foater, how
ever, is too wise usually to 60 Qua
on railroad work.

preliminary examination of Mrs. Grace
Ledbeter, Mrs. Golde Schwandt and
William Schwandt, charged in connec-
ton with Frank Smith with the muir
der of Holley j. Ledbeter. Before nine
o'clock, the hour set for the hearing,
the room was packed as it never was
before, large proportion of the spec
tators being ladies.
The appearance of the three defend
ants in court was the signal for pro-
ceedings to begin and Judge Comstock
did not waste any time with prelimi
naries He warned the audience that
any disturbance or disorder would lead
to his ordering the court room cleared.
Occupying seats beside the three de-
PENDANTS were the uncle and aunt of
Mesdames Ledbeter and Schwandt, Mr..

WILL PASS UP ST. PAUL
GLIDDENERS NOT TO SPEND ANY
TIME IN THAT CITY.
AutoistS of Capital Town Do Not Seem
to Care; Leave Minneapolis to
Entertain Visitors.

st. Paul, July 1.-THE ST. Paul Au-
tomobile club will make no effort to
entertain the Glidden tourists, who are
expected in this city some time next
Saturday morning. This was the state
ment made by Reuben Warner, one Of
st. Pauls enthusiastic autoists, when
asked what plans had been made to
entertain the Gliddenites.
''No, the entire burden of entertain-
ing the tourists will fall to Minneapo-
lis,' declared Mr.. Warner. "The auto.
mobiles will enter st. Paul over the
high bridge some time Saturday MORN
ing, think, but the property of the
Automobile club is away out at Lake
st. CroiX, and the time which the
Gliddenites will spend in the city. is so
short that we would not be able to
take them out there, and so we have
decided not to make any effort to en-
terrain the visitors at all. | do not
think that any of tine st. Paul autoists
will even go out to meet the tourists.
"When the course of the tour was
being laid out, Minneapolis went after
the terminal, and st. Paul, thinking
that the matter would be treated as
Twin City project, kept in the back
ground and did not make any effort to
get the terminal for herself. Well,
Minneapolis landed it, and now she is
taking the matter of entertaining the
tourists all upon herself. She will en-.
terrain the tourists on Saturday even.
ing at some special performance. The
visitors will remain in Minneapolis all
day Sunday and probably the greater
part of Monday.
''No, I wouldn't say that st. Paul
feels that she has been cheated in the
deal, but we do not care to exert our
selves after what has happened. That's
about all there is to it,"
