TAGGART ON hJNT
FOR A CANDIDATE
Gov. MarShalI's Friends Fear
He's After Fastener.

Indianapolis. Sept n.-Friends OF Gov.
Marshall are looking with good deal OF
diStrust on the frequent visits Of National
Committeeman Taggart to the East. and
some OF them are openly charging that
the Indiana politician is consulting with
various Eastern politicians In the in
terest OF President Woodrow Wilson. OF
Princeton University. Though there is no
contest in any way between Taggart and
Marshall now, Taggart is said to feel
that the governor will renew the fight as
soon as the election is over. and Is certain
that Marshall would crush him If he
we're elected President.
II IS said by the governors friends that
Taggart wants an Eastern man nomi-
mated in 1912. and that he is joining with
friends Of President Wilson in frequent
conferences preparatory 10 trying TO line
up number OF Western States
Taggart is said to believe that ne would
not be consistent IL he opposed Mar
shall and favored Gov Harmon. Of Ohio,
for In location and everything the claims
OF both are Identical. but he could pre-
sent an Eastern man, especially Presi-
dent Wilson, and not necessarily seem to
be moved by hostility 10 the governor.
What is apparently disturbing the gov
ernor's friends more, however, is the
fact that several members OF the State
committee are in line with Taggart in
respect to President Wilson. and 1t is
admitted that in contest for delegates
to the national convention there are dis
tricts which Taggart could control against
the home candidate.

New York. Sept 11.-Herman Ridder,

bile. said he was glad that Mayor Cay

mayor al ne strongest and best Caudi-

candidate Of the Democratic party for

men here and abroad the party will be

Mr.. Ridder expressed surprise az the
popularity OF Roosevelt, and declared
frankly that ne did not like the colonel
and his methods.
He said: by his wild talk Mr.. ROose-

business community OF the country and
Of the world. and the longer he keeps at

AN ACOUSTIC MYSTERY.
BnrisnI Gun Has Puzzled BenEnIers
for 400 Years.

From the New York Press
The Barisal Gun is the name given that
acoustic marvel which has puzzled so
many scientists, and which is associated
with the town of Barlsal, on the western
bank Of the Barisal River. sixty-flve
miles north OF the Bay Of Bengal This
mystery Of nature consists OF a series Of
detonations that sound as If caused by
the discharge of heavy artillery The
sounds come booming through the air at
irregular intervals, rising from where no
one can say and caused by what no one
can determine. 1t Is said that these
sounds have been heard during at least
400 years. as attested by the local annals,
and oral tradition places no limit TO the
time they have been so heard. Although
the name "Barisal" is so closely assoc
ciated with the phenomenon. the noises
are also familiar to the people of Dacca,
seventy-hve miles 70 the north. Then.
too, they sometimes occur at Chittagong,
one hundred miles eastward. and at
times startle the natives at equally great
distances away toward the west and the
south. They have even been heard with
