GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
 ON JAPANESE STEAMER

 Have Been Saved.

Tokio. July 24.-The Tetsurei Maru. plying between Kobe and Dairen, was sunk last night off Chindo. Korea. She had 246 passengers aboard, of whom 40 were saved.
 Warshaps have been sent to the rescue.
 Direct reports from Chindo state that two of the lTetsurei's lifeboats landed forty passengers. who tell of narrowing scenes when the befogged vessel sunk Six lifeboats were launched, filled with passengers. There was no panic, everything be- ing carried off in an orderly manner. The captain and majority of the crew refused to leave the steamer.
 Six first-class passengers were saved, including w. Cunningham, British vice-consul at osaka, as well as thirteen second-class passengers.

THE SUNDAY SPEECH
 OF SENATOR CUMM|NS
1t Contained enunciation of Both Car
 neeie and Rockefeller Only.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July "A Senator Cummins spoke here today at the Chase county Chautauqua. He stat ed that he chose to deliver a sermon on Justice" rather than to talk of political interests because it was the Sabbath He then proceeded to attack the Steel and Oil trusts, and particu- larly to flay Rockefeller and Carnegie.
 Both of these gigantic financiers are opponents of grave injustice in this country" declared the speaker. "The millions they give to the public for building libraries and for educational institutions are nothing more than re turning part of the great profits to the American people by way of atone ment However, that sort of atonement will never expiate the wrongs they have done in the field of industry"
 The senator avoided politics, as he declared he would do, until near the close of his address, when he paid a glowing tribute to Senator Bristow. "A braver. truer man than Bristow never has been on the senate floor," said Cummins.

BIG TEMPTATION
 CLERK YIELDED
AND STOLE BONDS TO AMOUNT
 OF s7o,Ooo.
The Russo Chinese Bank in Way to
 Get Them Back.

New York, July 24.-Counsel for Erwin Wider. formally charged by officials of the Chinese bank with stealing $7O,OOO worth of bonds, admitted today that they knew where their client was, and intimated that Wider and the bank are now in touch. The bonds have not been negotiated. although it is strongly hinted that they have been hypothecated with various Wall street brokers Neither had the case been reported to the police.
 Wider's lawyer hopes that if the bonds be restored to the bank there will be no prosecution. Under the rule of the stock exchange, if broker accepts collateral from a client who does not own it. and if the client loses in speculation, the broker must restore the collateral to it's ,rightful owners and accept the clients losses, or forfeit the right to do business.
 There is much curiosity as to the identity of the brokerage firm with which Wider traded and what meas ure of responsibility it will be forced to assume either by the courts or by the stock exchange.
 -Widers salary was $1,200 year. He owned an automobile and paid $S5 month for a house in the Bronx.

 4 SEATTLE PROBLEM
Charred Body of Woman Found in
 Funeral Pyre.

Seattle, Wash. July 24 - The find ing of the badly burned body of Mrs. Hannah Reynolds in the midst of the smOuldering embers of a funeral pyre this morning revealed horrible case of suicide, and possibly murder. The body of Mrs. Reynolds. who was sixty-five years of age. and who lived with her two sons, was found in the woods near a park by a searching party that had been out all night. lying face down in the midst of the smoking remnants of a huge fire. The body was charred almost beyond recognition.
 Although the evidence. according to the police. points to suicide. the cor oner is not entirely satisfied tonight and asked the detective bureau. to make a thorough investigation.
 It is said there are some points that are not clear, and it is hinted that the woman may have been mur- dered and her body thrown into the fire to destroy the evidence.
 The strongest evidence of the sui eide theory is the assertion that Mrs Reynolds suffered mental derange- ment at different times. It is thought she might have been seized with sudden fit of insanity and set out to destroy herself.

HIS SOUTHWARK JOURNEY
His Visit Yesterday With Senator Hale-His Re covery From An Injury Which Stops the Golfing Feature of His Trip

Bar Harbor, Me, July 24-President Taft is once more on the water. He left Ellsworth this afternoon after a visit with Senator Hale. He went on a special train to Mount Desert ferry, where he boarded the Mayflower His course lies southward. and a slow run will take the president to Isles boro, where he is due to land at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
 President Taffs sprained ankle, after a night in congresses, was greatly improved today and was seem ingly less painful All dangerous consequences from the injury appear to have passed. While the president will have to give up golf for several days. the plans of the cruise will not otherwise be interferred with At Ellsworth the president and his en- tire party attended the Congrega- tional church
 The chief of police of Ellsworth was busy last night and today, re- cOrding the complaints of the town ship of losses of pocketbooks. watches and articles of jewelry. It seems that a band of pickpockets. four men and a woman, arrived in Ellsworth just before the president, and that they piled their trade with unusual success.
 Crowds thronged the streets the streets to hear the president, and they pushed eagerly forward to shake hands with him when the reception began. This opportunity was taken advantage of by the pickpockets
 It is estimated that the thieves got several hundred dollars.

Gathered For Republican
 Convention Tomorrow Sis \ - UNCERTAINTY IN HE AIR
Fight for Gubernatorial Nomination Is Anybody's. It Is Believed That There Will Be An Unqualified Endorsement of Taft.

Columbus, ohio, July 24. - Provided with little more than an opinion as to the head of the ticket, and facing with reasonable certainty a fight over the platform. all but two of the party leaders and good half of the delegates are already gathered for the Ohio re- publican convention on Tuesday. James R Garfield, head of the Progress sives," and Walter Brown, leader of the Toledo delegation, are still absent
 Senators Burton and Dick, however with George Cox of Cincinnati, Wade Ellis chairman of the executive com mittee: Carmi Thompson, secretary of state and one of the candidates for governor and other leaders were in conference with their followers all day
 As to the governorship. Senator Bur ton voiced the general opinion when he said the contest was anybodys fight
 Ellis told tonight what he believed should be incorporated in the platform. He says it should contain an 'unquali- fled endorsement of the Taft adminis- traitor and should approve the Payne bill, not because it is perfect. but be- cause it removes the excessive duties under the Dingley law"
 The active candidates for governor are Judge Brown of Warren county. Harding of Marion, former lieutenant governor, and Carmi Thompson, secre- tary of state. In addition, it is believed that Garfield will be placed in nomina ton providing the platform, which will be adopted on Wednesday, is suffi- ciently progressive.
 The name of Nicholas Longworth is mise candidate.
 President Taft has made it plain that he will keep his hands entirely off in the matter of selecting a candidate for governor Neither will he have a personal representative" in ohio or any other stated uring the campaign He purposes that the states shall man. age their own affairs. In platform dec larations affecting the national admin istratiOn and forming the plan of campaign all along the line" he will continue to feel a personal and party interest
 Senator Dick is to be chairman of the committee on resolutions at the convention, and it is understood that he has submitted to the president most of the blanks from which the ohio platform is to be constructed The platform promises to be a voluminous affair from the present outlook, but undoubtedly it will experience some more trimming down before it is finaly made public It will be progressive. it is stated, based on the legislation of the last session of congress. On the subject of conservation, it will prob ably endorse Senator Taft's plan as assuring the accomplishment in a legal way of all that was contemplated when the scheme of conservation first swept the country by storm. It is purposed by those in charge that the form of endorsement written into the platform shall serve as a model for other states that intend standing Loyalty by MT Taft
