Taft to Keep Hands Of Ohio State
poIi$iee

Beverly, Mass. July 19.-There will
be no Beverly label on the Ohio repub-
lican political situation. This was de-
cided upon yesterday, when. just previ-
Gus to his departure on his ten days
cruise along the coast of Maine, Presi-
ident Taft had as his guests Senators
Burton and Dick and former Attorney
General Wade Ellis, now chairman of
the executive committee of the repub-
lican state central committee of Ohio.
1t Is understood that none of the
three Ohio visitors urged upon the
president the preferences of any one
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for governor. While it is known
that the president may have some per-
sonal preference, he will not declare in
favor of any of the three or four can
didates named. preferring to let the
convention take care of the matter.
Neither Senator Dick nor Mr.. Ellis
had much to say regarding the con-
ference. Both agreed that the meeting
was entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Ellis
said his call on the president was con-
cerned with the platform to be drawn
up for the Ohio convention rather
than with any candidate for the nomx.
nation for governor.

Washington, July 20.-The worlds

Tahiti, In the South Seas, ACCORDING TO
a vivid description of the business of
collecting mother-of-pearl shells given
in report by Consul julius D. Dreber
of Tahiti.
From six to 120 feet, these divers
go down into the sea in quest of the
shells from the sale of which thew

water a minute and a half for the
average man, two to two and one-ha,r

beginning OF each season the nose and
ears of the diver bleed when he comes

tween the ages of 20 and 25 After 30,
he begins to decline and is able to dive
less and less as he grows older Half
a dozen men lose their lives each year
by staying down too long and giving
out before they can reach the surface.

defined than on the preceding day.
Many buyers We're here from Pennsyl-
vania, New York and Detroit, and they
gave local dealers strong opposition in
bidding for the better class OF stock,
being particularly anxious to secure a
liberal quota of good heavy drafters
and blocky, young feeders. Plain, light
and blemished animals We're not Mt

sales of common, workworn animals
being made as low as s15@20. Feeding
colts, on the other hand, were in urgent
request at s200m275, while prime,
heavy stall-fed drafters made $3.50

Of midsummer" fair-fleshed draft
chunks at s170@215. Expressers found
a ready outlet at s165@215, and there
was steady call for medium to good

Fair profits are made by the skilled
divers. The finding Of yearls in the
mollusks adds a singular fascination to
the hard work of the toilers of the
deep. Occasionally the rare black

$4,000 is paid for pearls In season.
The hours for diving are from nine
to two. A basket to hold the shells
is let dowr from the boat Of the diver
On the end of another small rope, also
tied to the canoe, is a piece of lead
weighing fifteen to twenty pounds.
After yelling several times to empty
his lungs and then reflling them
quickly with fresh air, the diver de-
sends on the rope, fills his basket and
comes to the surface. He goes down
twenty to twenty-five times in the five
diving hours If a good diver After
each ascent. he dries himself with a
towel and rests and warns himself ten

harpoon to spear fine fish which pay no
attention to him in the water.

ST. Louis, July 20.-The labor war
over the Bucks Stove and Range Com
pany has been settled.
Samuel Gompers at Cincinnati sue
ceeded in bringing the long struggle to
"a close. The Bucks plant hereafter
will be a union shop.
The settle ment of the Differences be-
tween the Bucks company and the la
Dor unions marks the finale of the most
spectacular and bitter labor war ever
waged.
The fight began in difference be-
tween the metal polishers In the plant
and the owners as to whether the men
should work nine or ten hours a day.
The Differences arose on Aug 26, 1906.
The Bucks company. Of which Van
Cleave was president, held firm against
the demands of the polishers for
nine hour day and the Stove Founders
National Defense Association backed
Van Cleaye, whose company was a
member OF the national deefnse body.
Van Cleave declared for an "open

an open breach between the shop and
the unions and a boycott was de-
clared."

Folk Adherents About the Busiest
Bunch of Men on the Political Job
Cause Reaches Into Now England
States - After Support Of Former
Bryan Adherentse in the East.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, July 20.-The presi-
Dental campaign of former Governor
Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri, is grow
ing to proportions that are giving the
friends of aspirants like Harmon and
Gaynor some apprehension
It will not do to assume that the
Folk candidacy is just coming UP
spontaneously. Far from it. 1t is like
plant that is being carefully watched,
watered and murtured and there are
those who say it is responding well to
this sort of treatment.
Without much question, the Folk ad-
herents are about the busiest persons
to be found just now in the list of pro-
moters Of democratic candidates for
president. 1t is true the Harmon lieu
tenants have been busy but it is doubt
full if they have done any more work
than the Folk people and probably not
as much.
From New England. come advices
that President Lon Sanders, of the
democratic league of Missouri, has been
in that part of the country stirring up
sentiment for Folk and taking steps
to organize it. Mr.. Sanders has had
helpers, in the New England region.
Other members of the democratic
league of Missouri have been meeting
prominent democratic editors and
prominent democrats thru New Eng
land and getting them interested in the
Folk candidacy. Mr.. Sanders has been
active in Boston. The evil
dent purpose of Mr.. Sanders and other
men who are promoting Folks
cause in New England Is to turn the
support of the old Bryan adherents and
the old Bryan organizations to Folk
The whole New England situation is
being carefully canvassed.
More than this. there is reason to
suppose the Folk boomers have been
active in the west and south. They
have been working for months. Re-
ports Of their activity seeped thru to
from time to time last
winter. But they were given less at
tention then than the new reports Of
activity would seem to indicate they
nerited.
The Folk campaign for the nom ina
ton is going to be made in such a
manner to appeal. If possible, to the
more radical elements or the party II
IS quite likely that William j. Bryan
will be found giving the Polk move
ment aid and comfort. At any rtae, he
IS not expected to frown upon It,
Bryan, as Is well known, is hostile to
The Harmon movement. While Bryan
would doubtless not seek to hamper
iaynor, he would doubtless be willing
% foster the Folk movement if by so
doing he felt he could lessen the
chances of the nomination of Harmon
AS Missouri man, the Folk supporters
hink to get strong hold on the dem
,crats of the south. The utmost Is to
De made of Folks fight against the
,rafters in Missouri and he is to be
leralded as a champion of clean gov
,rnment, the foe of graft and the ad-
,ocate of progressive PRINCIPLES,
