of $69,3 % and expenditures. exclusive

the salary of n deputy, Sl,SOO for stem
ogra pher's salary and 5000 for incl

Victim Of Death Fast
Pact Formerly a
Clergyman

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-From a
story of many threads, secured from
Alice Griffin, Is years old, the authort-
ties have discovered that John Irving
O'Neil, who died today as the result of
religious death fast pact, was for
merly a Baptist minister Of Dallas, Tex.
O'Nei1 first met Mrs. Nellie E. Boyle,
City. He conTerted her to the Holy
Roller faith. AS a result of the pro-
longed fast her condition is serious.
The woman bears traces of refinement
The condition of the girl is the most
grave of the four persons found in a
bungalow in Arroyo Seco yesterday,
and as a result it is difficult to secure
connected story. She refers to her
father as a detective for one of the
eastern railroads. and it is evident that
she had been with the couple since
aving the east.
George A. Griffin. a Brooklyn, optician,
is an uncle of Alice Griffin.
With ]. E. Butler, an old man, also
party to the pact and very i'll, the
three occupied a bungalow in what has
been discovered to be Holy Roller
colony.
The members of this colony have
assumed an attitude which hampers the
authorities in learning much about
o'Neil and his companions. 1t is ad-
mitted, however, that much fasting has
been indulged in, but this is the first
case where death has been invited
O'Neil refused to partake of food
and died with smile on his face The
others are more pliable TO the wishes
of the authorities, but recovery in any
of the cases is doubtful.

The strong opposition on the part of

CHICAGO. Aug. 2O.-President Taft
the national administration and the na-
tionaI congressional committee are re-
ported to have surrendered to the in
surgents The information of The Call
correspondent comes from a trustwor-
thy source.
Any insurgent republican candidate
for congress can have the aid OF both
the national administration and the
congressional campaign managers by
asking for it. The regulars will be
accorded the same treatment.
The surrender to the insurgents ap-
pears to be complete. This is indi-
Gated by official confirmation of the re-
port that the forthcoming campaign
text book will not even carry the ia
nous Winona speech of the president.
In this celebrated pronouncement the
president declared that the tariff law
was the best OF the kind ever passed
by congress. This declaration will not
be found in the congressional book as
it was penned a few weeks ago by
leaders in Washington
The significant information is also
secured that the president is preparing
an. exhaustive statement for the cam.
paign book to take the place OF the
winona speech. IL will deal exclu-
sively with. the work of the last con-
gress.
This is what is holding up the text
book. according to reliable information
The book is also being held up to await
the completion OF the presidents new
foreword on the republican situation
in this country at this time.
OF little less sensational Significance
than the expunging of the winona
speech from the text book is the de-
cision to incorporate speeches from
some of the insurgents.
