lice today by H. w. Haskell, proprietor

,riedly in the opposite direction. He
was tall. well dressed and wore a dark
mustache. In taking up this clew for
investigation, the police said that
though the hour at which DR.. Knabe
was slain apparently had been 1910
o'clock, there was possibility the man
Haskell saw was the murderer, and
that he lurkcd about the neighborhood
awaiting his opportunity to enter the
apartment unseen.
Coroner G. o. Durham today an
nounced that examination of the many
surgical instruments in DR.. Knabe's
apartment showed that none OF them

brotherhood of nations.
Strong in the sense Of our own
right and inspired by as strong sense
OF the rights of others, we live In
peace and harmony with the world.
Rich in the priceless possession Of
abundant resources wherewith the
unstinted bounty Of God has en-
dowed us, we are unselfshly glad
when other people pass onward to
prosperity and peace. That the great
privileges we enjoy may contine and
that each coming year may see our
country more firmly established in the
regard and esteem OF our fellow ma
lions, Is the prayer that should arise
in every thankful heart.
Wherefore, /, William Howard Taft.

100000 visitors attended the second an
nual Omaha land show. which closed
Saturday evening. The exposition was

was remarkable to note that a ma

cause they wanted to learn these facts

TAFT WILL CONTINUE
HIS FIGHT ON TRUSTS

Chicago, Oct. 30.-In a speech here
last night. which was regarded as
having a direct bearing upon the gov
ernment's latest trust prosecution
against the United States Steel corpor-
alton, President Taft denied in Vigor-
Gus language that the administration
was being influenced by political mo-
tives.
II would rather cut off my right
hand" he exclaimed. than to do any
thing to disturb the business Of this
country. especially with motive Of
cultivating political success"
The president said he wanted 1t to
be understood for all time that he in
tended to enforce the antitrust law
to the letter.
Statements as to what I may be
responsible for in bringing about bust
ness troubles, however regretfuI may
be that it Is so. cannot turn me from
the duty that lies straight before me-"
continued Mr.. Taft.
He spoke to an immense throng, in
the First Regiment armory, and his
antitrust declaration called out q
storm of applause and cheering. There
was no doubt as to what was in the
presidents mind when he said:
II come to the subject of the trusts
at time when the matter Is boiling"
He was in part delivering his Water
loo, Ia, speech on the relation Of the
government to business and mad de-
clared that he believed the railroads
of the country had brought themselves
within the law and were conscientiously
trying to keep within 1t.
