TAST is TOLD HOW HIS PARTY
MAY WIN ELECTION IN OHIO

"The tariff" came the quick re-
sponse.
Judge Woodmansee declared that ev-
cry man and woman affected by the
high cost of living is blaming the tariff
and that 1t will take a lot of work to
dispeI the idea from their minds.
There was an amusing episode on the
lawn of the Presidents cottage this af-
ternoon following the second arrest OF
the summer. A mild hammered old
man drifted along the driveway leading
to the cottage until he was stopped
by Secret Service Agent Sloan. When
asked his mission, the old fellow re-
piled that, he wanted to see the Presi-
dent regarding a message. Sloan told
the visitor that he had better apply tc
the executive office in the city and
was about to dismiss him when the
man wheeled around and said: II am
also the man who Is responsible for
the stories that have been sent out OF
Beverly about the Reorganization OF
the republicon party"
Sloan Immediately took tho man into
custody. When examined he was found
to be J. F., OConnor, former patient
at the state farm for the mentally In
firm. He was released soma time ago
as harmless.

Brussels. August 15.--It will take many
days to place the Belgian exposition in a
fit condition for reopening, although a
tact. The known loss caused by the fire,
which swept through the white City"
yesterday is between 100000 and 10000
000 This is chiefly confined to the Bel
gian and British sections, but the dam
age by smoke and water has been general
and will add materially to the total loss.
The American section escaped the fire.
The art exhibit was in a building two
miles distant from the fire.
French loss is confined to the building
in which various foods were displayed
and the pavilion of the city of Paris,
containing Industrial exhibits and models
from the schools of art.
The recovery of valuable collections of
jewels helped to reduce the first estimates
of the loss. The magnificent collection of
precious stones owned by Belgians and
valued at $S.0OO.0oO was unearthed from
the ruins unharmed.
There was considerable pillage after and
during the fire and thieves made a heavy
haul. Gendarmes caught number of the
looters who had scores of rings and
bracelets from the French jewel exhibit
in their possession.
1t is believed that parliament will vote
extra credits for the clearing away of
the ruins and new buildings.
The entire Belgian and British sections,
the whole Kermesse of Brussels, the
Coney Island of the exposition, with
water chutes, toboggah sides and other
special entertainments. and everything
west of the Avenues des Nations were de-
stroyed but by heroic work OF the firemen
and troops in the early hours of the
morning, and by the use OF dynamite in
blowing up buildings In the paths of the
flames the flames were checked.
Practically everything in the Amer

VENEZUELA MAKES
CHANGE In ORDER

Washington, August 15.-As the result
of diplomatic changes, Venezuela has
modified it's attitude recently assumed,
which threatened to keep American food
products out of that country. Regula-
tions were issued by the Venezuelan au-
thorities in May and July which required
that sanitary certificates of importation
OF food products must be issued at the
point of origin and properly authenti-
Gated The state department took the
position that this was impracticable, In
this country, in variety Of food prod
ucts exported to Venezuela and the wide
ly separated sections In the United States
whence the products are shipped.
Secretary Knox suggested to the Vene-
zuelan government that certifcation at
points of origin was unnecessary, in view
OF the stringent nature of the federal
pure food law of 1905. under which all
food manufacturers are required to regis
ter with the department of agriculture
under guarantee that the labels describing
the products shall contain truthful state
ments.
Advices we're received at the state de-
partment today from the American lega-
ton at Caracas stating that the Vene-
zuelan minister of finance had accepted
this view, L

Beverly Mass, August 15-This was
the one off day in what promises to
be a big week politically in Beverly.
President Taft had but two engage
ments and Secretary Norton was out of
town. Tomorrow Senator Crane, who
has been on an automobile tour through
New Hampshire and Vermont, will be
here.
The President told Leonard Osorios,
former governor of one of the Philip
pine4@provinces, that he might visit the
Philippines during his term of office.
Mr.. Osorios asked the President when
he thought independence would be
granted to the Filipinos. Mr.. Taft, II
is said, made answer in the same way
he spoke while in the islands. He said
independence would not come with the
present generation, nor with the next,
but that the third generation might
enjoy 1t.
Judge d. d. Woodmansee. of Gin
cinnati. an old friend of the Taft fam
ily. was the Presidents second caller.
Judge Woodmansee said he felt sure
the republicans were going to win in
Ohio, but 1t would take thorough
ca mpaign of education to bring success.
Education as to what?" he was
asked.

OF HIS TALK WITH GRISCOM

for the present at least definite endorse
ment of the Taft administration.
Mr.. Griscom was not anxious to make 1t
appear that he had come to Sycamore
Hill as an embassy of the President. He
not only said he had not sent him but
added that Mr.. Taft did not know today 5
conference was to be held.
How do the views of President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt coincide, in refer
ence to national politics?" Mr.. Griscom
was asked
The county chairman paused for some
time before he replied:
II did not discuss national politics to
any great length with Pesident Taft
Are they agreed as to the New York
state stuation?''
Yes; / have discussed candidates and
platforms and the whole New York state
situation with both of them and their
views coincide"

Nashville, Tenn, August 15.-The re-
publican state convention meets here to-
morrow and tonight 1t looks like the old
Evans-Brownlow lineup again. Newell
Sanders. chairman of the republican state
committee, favors Robert S. Sharp of
Chattanooga for governor. Tonight his
vote, as committee chairman, named Hon.
A. A. Taylor of Washington county for
temporary chairman of the convention.
The vote was tie between Taylor and
H. B. Anderson of Memphis, and the
chairman was called on. G. NJ Henderson
of Granger county. is mentioned for
permanent chairman.
The convention will be the largest as
well as the most important held by the
republicans of Tennessee In many years.
The nominee for governor will receive
the support of the Independent demo-
Gratis, republican leaders claim, in addi-
ton to the republican strength. and lead
ers profess confidence of electing the
next governor of Tennessee. The COM
bnation recently elected a state judicial
ticket by majority in excess of 10000
votes, despite the fact that Gov. M. R.
Patterson stumped the state for the reg
ular democratic nominee. Patterson is a
candidate to succeed himself as governor
In November and is preparing to make
an aggressive campaign. His friends ex-
press confidence in the outcome and it
is certain that, whoever wins, the bat
tie will be a fierce one. Tonight the
state committee passed on three county
contests, all of which will be appealed
to the credentials committee tomorrow.
Other contests were compromised.
A number of names are mentioned for
the gubernatorIal nomination tonight, the
most prominent one being Robert S.

forth from Sycamore Hill today at the
conclusion of the conference between.
Theodore Roosevelt and Lloyd c. Girls
com, chairman of the New York repub-

BALLINGER TALKS
ON CONSERVATION

klamath Fallas. August 15.-In speech
at a dinner given in his honor at Eagle
Ridge yesterday Secretary Ballinger said
that fidelity and economy in the conduct
Of business and common sense in the
handling of the country's resources con-
stituted conservation.
Mr.. Ballinger said in part:
every acre of agricultural land in the
United States is bound to be needed to
raise food products for our own people.
The time is past in this country when we
can skim the cream and ignore system
for making the best use of everything we
have
while in the past we may have SEEM
ed wasteful we have also been progress
sive. The time has now come when we
have got to be economical and we must
use common sense in the handling OF
the resources we have. That is all there

The independent democratic league is,

said, is casting his influence for Sharp,
while it is claimed that Lindsey is back

as influential. The Beverly conference,

prevail It is reported tonight, however,
that Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been heard from and that the Washington
influence is being thrown to Sharp and
the inspectors stock has advanced sew
eral points in consequence.
The negro question was brought to
the front In some of the contests tonight
and in each instance the colored man
was the loser. The negro vote In the re-
cent election went largely, 1t is said, for
the regular democratic ticket. The ne
gro leaders are expressing themselves
tonight as greatly incensed over the
treatment received and are preparing
to hold big convention to protest tomor-
row. ]. C. Napier, a colored member of
the state committee, and prospective reg
istrar of the treasury, fought bitterly the
action taken by the committee In ignor-
ing the negro delegates from Montgomery
county. Napier was an active champion
of the independent judiciary ticket In the
recent election.
The platform will, 1t is reported tonight,
contain plank demanding that no back
ward step be taken in the matter of pro-
hibition legislation.

pede the delegates for an Endorsement of

many Mitchell, after his few words this

Thomas l.. Lewis announced that he
would take the floor In the morning and

session, were about equally divided on
their stand toward the actions of the
international executive board. wyoming
when their contract expires at the end
of this month, but were willing to stand

District President Roll, in speaking for
Kentucky, made plea for harmony, and

In the Belgian and British sections
the flames spread with such rapidity
that nothing was saved but the plan OF

cred a miracle that the panic stricken
masses were gotten out with loss no
greater than two killed and thirty in

The British loss is heavy. 1t includes
Tudor panelings from the Toronto mu-
scum, costly Mortaix tapestries and
priceless furniture from the collections
