TAFT EULOG|ST|C IN
SPEECH To KANSAS
STATE FAIR THRONG
Drops Politics for Historical
Talk and Praise of
Judge Madison.

HUTCHINSON. Kan. Sept. 2S.-There
was nothing political about President
Tafts speech at the Kansas State fair
here today. A dissertation on the his
tory of Kansas and a brief appreciation
of Representative E. NJ. Madison. whose
death last week seriously oppressed the
President, was his message to the in
surgency Of Kansas in the biggest
speech he was scheduled to deliver dur
ing his visit here.
None Of the big issues of the day was
mentioned, and an academic discussion
Of the troubles of Bleeding Kansas"
in the turbulent times of the slavery
struggle. occupied practically all the
Presidents address.
In expressing his grief at the death Of
Judge Madison, the President said:
His death was a great shock to me.
i hal not known him long, nor can ]
say that knew him intimately, but !
knew him we'll enough to know the
strong qualities of his mind and heart.
his judicial instinct, his intense desiie Z
to be fair, his clear perception OF the
law as jurist, and his level-headednes
as legislator. l extend to his family
and 10 his friends my profound sympa-
thy IN their deep sorrow, and hope the
memory Of his high starding among his
fellow-oitizens and the value of the
service that he rendered to them may
in time mitigate the blow which has
fallen upoE them
The President proceeded to lengthy
discussion of the circumstances under
which Kansas entered the Union, the
bloody guerrilla warfare that racked
her just prior to the civil war, and her
economic history up 10 the present time.
He then made a detailed statistical re-
view Of the advance of the States pros
perity.
The trials through which the State
has come undoubtedly have given a
character to its inhabitants" he de-
clared. They are bold and original
in thought, courageous in execution.
One may differ from them on their con-
clusions either upon politics or upon
other issues. but he must respect their
sincerity and the energy, indepen-
dence. and courage with which they
support their conclusions and carry
them to their logical results"
This was the nearest the President
came to mentioning the insurgency of
Kansas.

MISS BERENS WERE
CLEAREDOF CHARGE

Complete Vindication of
Capital Women.

Edward s. Crockett, attorney-at-
law, of Boston. and counsel for Mrs.
Grace Dodd Brawner, who. with Miss
Helen Berens, was detained by the

to The Times.
The Washington papers recently
contained accounts Of the case Of Mrs.
Grace Dodd Brawner. involving not
only her good name, but also the rep
utation of Miss Helen Berens. both
of Washington, D. C. This case
was called for a hearing before the
United States commissioner at Boston.
and not one particle OF evidence was
given against either girl, whereupon
the case was summarily dismissed.
There was at the court. ready to
testify in favor of Miss Berens and
Mrs. Brawner, all three lodging-hou
keepers, women of unimpeachable
character, with whom the girls lived
while in Boston: Numerous men and
women with whom both girls were
employed also were present with
naught but good to say of them.
"a thorough investigation of the
lives Of both Mrs. Brawner and Miss
Berens during all the time of their
absence from home, discloses their
innocence of wrong doing; and the
story of a brave and successful strug-
gle as working girls to earn for
themselves an honest and respect
able living, and the regard of all
with whom they came in contact.
This letter is a challenge to all
their acquaintances who may honestly
doubt them, to investigate the facts
of the case and satisfy themselves
of the complete vindication of both +;
not alone in the eyes of the law.
but also in the minds OF all who
are In possession Ct the facts
