very pleasing remarks that were
well received. The senator express
ed delight at once more being among
the citizens of this great state, aud
especially this city as 1t had been
two years since he had been In this
state. Last year when congress adj
iourned he went abroad to familiar
lie himself with certain things In
other countries that would be of help
TO him In the senate.
After the senator had concluded
his brief remarks he was introduced
to many people who were glad of the
opportunity Of meeting and shaking
hands with one of the United States
leading law makers.
The assembly also listened to a
number OF excellently rendered must
cal numbers. the FIRST being the
singing of oh. That We Might
Wander by Mrs w. II. Frye and
Mr.. J, D. McFall. which was follow
ed by Mr.. MeFall's ably singing
"Gipsy John" Mrs. Fry In a pleas
Ing manner sang MY Little Irish

General Political Talk.

The mention of the New York sit
uatlon was incidental to talk on
general politics between the presi-
dent and Mr.. Loeb. They were to-
gether in the morning before the
president went to the Myopia links
for a game OF golf with Henry G,
Frick, who lives near here, and they
lunched together at John Hays Ham
mond's cottage In Gloucester After
the luncheon the talk continued. MIR.
Taft was anxious 10 hear something
OF the situation as viewed by some
one outside the Immediate admins
tration circles.
Mr.. TAFT Is not interfering In the
New York situation in any way. He
and Mr.. Loeb are close friends and
whenever Mr.. Loeb's name has beer
mentioned to the president In con
nection with the New York governor,
ship he always has enthusiastically
approved the suggestion. Mr., Loci
has known this for some time. HI
has known that as far as he eoulC
legItimately do so the president
would bring all his influence TO sup
port Loeb He has counted so con
fidently on this support that h
was rather inclined to resent th,
rumors that 1t was necessary for hin
to come to Mr.. Taft to ask for hi
Endorsement.
The collector discussed New Yorl
politics with the president and made
no attempt to conceal the more serl
GUS aspects of the situation from th'
republican point of view. He ex

Germans Become InsoIent.

BERLIN, Germany, July 12.-
Germany threw down the gauntlet
to the United States today by giving
out a notice that she intends to do
as she pleases in Central and South
American republics shortly after
handing the United Press concilia-
tory statement for publication. 1t is
learned that high officials of the
German government held secret
conference and decided upon siren
uous action and after it's close gave
out the second statement saying that
1t is now the German attitude toward
matters in the western hemisphere:
Germany refuses to recognize any
right on the part of the United States
to supervise her diplomatic relations
with other countries in Central or
South America, in general, and Mica
ragua in particular Germany's rec
ognition of Madriz is a matter con-
corning only herself and Nicaragua
and she comedies to a third power
no rights whatever to interfere. >
Many construe the second statement
as Germany's first step toward refus-
ing to further recognize the Monroe
! doctrine.

BRADY TRIES TO PLEASE
ALL AND PLEASES none
O'NGiRS Position on Liquor Question Known
and People Trust Him

BOISE, Idaho, July 12.-The po-
litical game In Boise and Southern
Idaho goes merrily on, and now that
the securing of petitions has been
very nearly completed the people are
beginning to acquaint themselves
with the situation, and are sizing up
the qualifications of the two candi-
dates on the republican ticket. B.
f. O'Neil has stated his position on
the liquor question and has satisfied
all fair-minded people on this point.
The impression is peFmeating the po-
litical atmosphere that there are
many other matters of more vital
importance to the people of the state
than the liquor question and that 1t
should not take up the time of the
candidates.
The great irrigation projects of
the south, and score of other equal
ly momentous and all-important
problems must needs be discussed
and remedies supplied.
Brady's Stand Ridiculous.
There has been a great deal of
comment on the interview recently
given the Capital News by Brady on
the liquor question. His point on the
local option law is not only pointed
out as ridiculous, but far-fetched. He
states that to come out for local OPP
ton means nothing, and that eandi-
date must either be wet" or dry. +"
or must either want a county wet
or dry"
0'Neil stated when he was here
the last time that he was in favor Of
the present local option law as it
now stands on the statute books. and
that it should be given a fair trial,
and that no attempt to secure any
legislation at this time looking to-
ward the same end would be unwise.
People Agree With O'Neil.
The people of the state who think,
and who are ayowed local optionists.
agree with Mr.. o'Neil. They worked
hard for local option, and secured it.

ONE AVIATOR DEAD
and ONE INJURED
ROLES Crushed Under Engine When
Machine TumbIes to the
Ground.

LONDON. England, July a..
Charles Stewart ROLES, the million
aire aviator who made the first round
trip across the English channel in an
aeroplane, fell from his machine to-
day at Bournemouth and was killed
by the fall Thousands of people
who we're attending the meet wit
messed the accident and stood horri-
fed as the aeronaut came to earth.
He was gliding earthward with the
machine and when about forty feet
high the machine crashed downward
and when the wreckage was removed
ROLES was found crushed under the
engine. In the meantime Aviator
Audumars became confused and fell
to the earth also and is seriously In
jured. The accidents coming togeth-
er caused a panic and hundreds OF
people fed from the grand stands.
ROLES was one of the best known
English aviators In the world.

May War With Germany.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
Germany's declaration regarding the
Nicaraguan situation and Central
and South American affairs in gen.
eral, 1t is believed here approaches a
definite defiance of the Monroe doc
trine and If it is carried out serious
trouble can hardly be avoided. 1t is
believed that the German foreign
office acted hastily, nevertheless 1t
is sure to attract official attention
from the United States. Germany
evidently believes that Secretary
Knox published the Madriz letter,
but the friends of Madriz really did
so with a view to giving 1t the great
est publicity. Many believe that the
sudden change of front by Germany
may be the result of successful ne
gotiations between Germany, Japan
and Italy for an offensive and defen-
sive alliance. This is given color by
the report that Japan expects to
withdraw from Its alliance with Great
Britain and is reported to have sue
cessfully negotiated the triple al
lance of the three powers. The sit
uation is critical.

DEFIANCE OF MONROE
DOCTRINE is ATTITUDE
aShinQtOn Looks For Trouble Unless
Germany Backs Down

BERLIN. Germany. July 12.-The
German mailed fist today became a
gloyed hand when the imperial
foreign Office authorized the United
Press to transmit officially the fol-
lowing statement
THE emperor is most careful to
avoid wounding the susceptibilities Of
the American people regarding affairs
in Central and South American
countries. Germanys aims on the
western continent are purely com
merciaI. She does not dream of Sc
curing coaling stations or making any
new world policies" The Kaiser's
letter to Madriz was inoffensive, but
it caused suspicion that Germany de-
sired to create trouble between the
United States and the Central Am
erican republics. The Nicaraguan
situation is very delicate, the action
of foreign powers being watched
closely.
