HE NAMES The MAN.
Col. Brady Talks Further of the De-
struction of the Maine.

Kansas City. Nov. 3.-That Jose
Zavaldo, a Spanish electrician, work
ing in Morro castle, probably q fan
attic, was responsible for the destruc-
ton of the battleship Maine. is the
statement made here by Colonel Jas
per F. Brady. Colonel Brady was
one of a committee of four men who
investigated the explosion and report
ed their findings to President McKin-
ley.
"Of course. did not see this man
turn on the switch which set free the
powerful mines that caused the dis
dence in the case pointed directly to
his guilt. Three other army officers.
whose names I do not care to give. and
myself. reported to the president that,
in our belief ZaValdo was responsible.
He was later executed upon the COM
mand of General Blanco. No one,
however. was ever able to learn for
wha: reason"
Colonel Brady, in an address in st.
Georges church here, discussed the
Maine disaster and attributed it to a
submarine mine explosion. His state
ment brought forth denials from
Washington. among other things being
that no military board had been ap-
onel Brady explains that the board
never convened to make the report but
reported individually to the president
and it is possible that no record of its
work il left.
Colonel Brady was quoted as saying
in his address that Cubans were re-
sponsible for the disaster. He denies
that he made such a statement.

council of the United Garment Makers
of America stated today that he had
reason to believe that Chicago tailors,
against whom there is strike, are

The number of police reserved for
riot duty was doubled today owing to
the turbulence of yesterday.
''The strikers seem to be gaining at
every hand" said Inspector Healy,
land we have found it a great task to
send enough policemen to handle the
mobs. The method of the strikers is
a clever one and we have found it i'm
possible to prevent pickets from get

policemen were ordered on guard duty
at the shops while two hundred more

OLDFIELD is BARRED.
He Will Not Be Permitted to Enter
Atlanta Races.

Atlanta, Nov. 3.-Barney Oldfeld
will not be permitted to enter the three
days automobile races here beginning
today, according to court de-
cision last night. He has filed suit
for $4,000 damages.
Oldfeld's attorneys claimed that he
had been disqualified by the American
Automobile association without hear
ing and that the disqualification of his
200 horsepower Benz racer amounted
to confscation of property. The at
torneys argued that his race with Jack
Johnson which caused the disqualified
ton, was justifia BILE, because it would
tend to discourage Johnson from fu-
ture competition with white sports
men.
The opposition counsel replied that
Oldields disbarment was automatic

Judge Bell, after three hours and Is
minutes argument, ruled that he had
no jurisdiction.
The three days racing begins on the
Atlanta two-mile speedway today, with
eight events ranging from time trials
to a 100-mile race for a trophy and a
cash prize Of $1,000.

NAMES HIS DOG TAFT.
General VaIladares Is Laying a Foun-
dation for Trouble.

New Orleans, Nov. 3.-Telegrams
have been received by representatives
of American interests in Honduras con-
firming reports of the revolutionary
outbreak at Amapala. That the United
States will within the next few days
take an active part in ousting General
Jose ValIadares, leader of the rebel
lion from his entrenched position on
the little island of Amapala, is the be-
lief generally of business men of New
Orleans, who. are more or less inter-
ested in Central American trade.
The Honduran government has a
small army and as Valladares has sew
eral hundred armed followers and is
reported to have several modern ma
chine guns, it is thought that Presi-
dent Davila will ask the assistance of
this government in its efforts to get
rid of the trouble maker of Amapala.
The friends here of former President
Manuel Bonila assert that he has no
connection with the revolt of Valla-
dares.
Noted for his hatred of foreigners,
Valladares recently publicly announced
he had named his dog Taft" in order
to show his contempt for the American

REPLIES TO DIX.
Roosevelt Promises More When He
Returns to New York

Alliance, O., Nov. 3.-Theodore Roose-
welt, en- route to Chicago today gave
out a statement on the train in reply
to the speech made by John A Dix
Democratic candidate for governor OF
New York, in New York last night.
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Mr.. Dix becomes exceedingly valor.
Gus about me the moment l leave the
state. III answer him when / get back
I call the attention OF all wage work
ers to the fact that having in effect
defended the bake shop decision which
forbade New York state to interfere
to prevent working men laboring an
excessive number of hours under un-
hygienic conditions is now in effect,
defends a decision declaring working
mems compensation also unconstitu-
tional.
'It is of course mere nonsense for
Mr.. Dix to assert that he is for the
principle either of limiting excessive
hours of labor under unhealthful con-
ditions or of establishing the right OF
the worknen to be compensated for the
loss of life or limb when working at
their trades for he is now implicitly
upholding the judges who have decided
against these principles and is con-
demning the more numerous judges who
have taken the opposite view and have
upheld the rights of the laboring man
instead of adhering to outworn and
purely technical legal doctrines which
in their working do the working man
cruel wrong and injustice.
IF Mr.. Dix is right in his champion
ship of Judge Baldwin's decision and
if Judge Baldwin was right in that de-
cision then it is unconstitutional for the
nation and the states to grant any real
relief to the working men in the shape
of compensation acts. The decision of
Judge Baldwin which Mr.. Dix upholds
will not, 1 am confident, prove to be
the law of the land either in nation
or state but to uphold it is entirely
Incompatible with any man as candi-
date, saying he is in favor of any real
or effective workers compensation act.
My answer to Judge Baldwin was die
tated yesterday.
'T call attention to the fact that
Mr.. Dix does not dare deal with Mr..
Stimson nor to meet one fact that Mr..
Stimson has stated about him, still less
in any shape or way aggressiveIy or
defensively to measure himself with
Mr. Stimson''

the history of the electrician proved
futile said Colonel Brady.
''All that We know is that he was
in charge of the wires which operated
the mines" he said. IF the govern
ment had desired to blow up the bat
tleships he would have been ordered
to turn on the current and release
the explosives. AS nearly as we could
learn, he acted on impulse while near
the electrical apparatus and turned
the switch that killed the 207 men.

washington, Nov, 3.-Charged with
pernicious political activity half
dozen postmasters at small places in
Missouri are under investigation by the
department on telegraphic complaints
made by Representative Champ Clark,
Democratic leader of the house.
The situation wherein a prospective
Democratic candidate for speakership

for the presidential nomination at the
next national convention is having his
allegations investigated under the di-
rectlon of the virtual head of the Re-
publican national committee was pre-

tion.
Postmaster General Hitchcock i'm

New York, Nov. 3.-The doors Of
the supreme criminal court room were
taken down this afternoon and a big
sixty. horse power automobile, the
front badly battered and bent, was
pushed inside. A wrecked buggy was
next carried through the door, and
when these two unusual exhibits had

this line to draperies. Some indeed
suggest the panniers of a few years
ago. Flounces of soft chiffon are seen,
placed from the knees down, and are
always banded on so that the narrow
effect is preserved. Much lace and
heavy embroidery of silk. gold and
silver are seen in the list of trim

hobble skirt, which is regarded by the
majority as freak, has resolved itself
into deep, plain band of the material

NY0T is not surprising that dur
EE ing the last few years the
- cult of the tailor made suit
EgSgE should have increased by
leaps and bounds. for there
is nothing in the modistic line so well
suited to the climatic requirements of
this country as the cloth coat and
skirt. Another reason for this in
creased interest is the fact that Amer
lean women are waking to the knowI-
edge that while Paris may lay down
the law as to the general style of our
clothes, il is to the American tailor
that we must look for the adaptation
of these styles to the American figure;
and nowhere is the tailored suit
brought to such perfection, nowhere
is the strictly mannish English line
and the softly feminine French style
80 skillfuIly blended, as in our own
country.
Rough materials have been decided
upon to lead the way in everyday
wear. Scotch and English homespuns.
coarsely woven serges, tweed mix
lures and heavy basket weaves all vie
for first place Dark shades predomi-
nate, and in the mixtures black and
white and heather mixtures in indis-
tinct, faky designs are we'll to the
fore The latter materials are esoe-
cially good for the long. coat, which
now has a distinct place in my lady's
wardrobe. Broadcloth for the more
elaborate suits still holds sway, and
velvel bids fair to hold a prominent
place in the winter fashion scheme
of things. AS to style-the close sill
houette is adhered to very distinctly.
Skillful goring. and in some cases a
