WlCKERSHAM TO FIGHT
 FOR NEGRO ASSISTANT
Attends Meeting of Bar Association ts
 Champion His Cause.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 26.-'T deny the right of the American Bar assoCia- tion, after it has once seated 8 mem Der, to Oust him on the ground that it has been discovered that he is a ne- gro,' said Attorney General George A. Wickershan,, who arrived today to ali tend the opening here tomorrow of the associations 35th annual meeting
 MT. Wickersham came to defend the title of William H. Lewis to a seat in the association. Lewis is an assistant to the attorney general His member ship was revoked by the executive committee on the ground that the committee elected him without know ing he was a negro.
 Two other negro members are simi- | larly affected. They are Butler R. Wilson, Boston, and William R. Nor ris, Minneapolis.
 The executive committee, headed by $. $. Gregory, Chicago, president of the association, has prepared a special report declaring that it has been against the policy of the association | to admit negro members and saying that Lewis, Wilson and Morris were seated on recommendation of local councils without the fact that they were negroes being made generally known. The report asserts that the eligibility Of Che men to membership Is not affected by the report and leaves open the question whether the association wants to admit negroes hereafter.
 MT. Wickersham made it known that he would fight any attempt to oust the negro members.
 Whether the association wants hereafter to admit negro membe is another question" he said. Out there Is no doubt that the present executive committee exceeded its power when it undertook to rescind it's action

President Taft was on his pri- vate car bound for Beverly and va cation which he expects will be broken but little until December. The White house tonight was practically de- serted, for Maj. Thomas l.. Rhoads, the presidents personal aide, Assistant Secretaries Forster and Brahany and most of the office employees left with the president. Summer offices will be opened there at once and probably most of the force will stay in Beverly until late in October,
 The president left tired but happy. Although he will have only 24 hours of vacation before he leaves to fulfil an Ohio engagement, he expected to have a long morning on the golf links at Myopia and several motor rides. The president will return to Washing tt6n for one day early in September and once again later in that month to keep engagements made long aga, but he did not expect to spend many days in the White house until election time, He probably will receive the returns in the White house. Later he plans te spend few weeks at H6t Springs, Va,

New Milford, Conn, Aug. 26.-Dam- age estimated from S80,000 to $1Oo,0OO was done. to full grown tobacco in the fields in Q series of severe hail storms that swept over the Housaton1c valley in this vicinity late this afternoon. The storms covered an area of 36 square miles, the principal damage be- ing done in the towns of Kent, North vile, Gaylordsvllle and Sherman.
 Short Crop This Season.
 Owing to the short crop this season, practically all of the tobacco had been purchased as it stood in the fields. About one-quarter of the crop had been cut and placed in the sheds to cure. Nearly a half of the remaining tobacco is ruined.
 Ground White With Haistones.
 The storms were accompanied by sharp thunder and lightning, but as far as can be learned no houses were struck by lightning. After the hail storm had passed the ground was lit orally white with the hailstones. One stone picked ID in HaWleyville meas ured two inches in diameter. In many instances the tobacco leaves were per forated as if done by a shotgun.

PROPOSED METHOD OF STAMP
 ING OUT VICE.
WALDO PREPARES LIST
Will Make Public Names of Owners and Agents of Buildings Rented for Illegal Purposes, He Announces.

New York, Aug 26.-The gambling house on Forty second street formerly run by 'Brldgie" Webber, where the Rosenthal murder Is believed to have been planned, was ralded tonight by Police Inspector Cornelius ]. Hayes, recently reduced to the rank of cap tain by Commissioner Waldo. Al- though Webber, confessed acoomplice in the murder, is In Jail, the place has been running for some weeks as an incorporated poker club" by some of ''Bridgie's" friends. it Is said.
 Went Over Head of Captain.
 After two policemen had entered the place day or two ago and found a poker game in progress. warrants were secured and tonight the new inspector went over the heads of the police cap- tain of the precinct and led the raid himself. A man describing himself as Kirk Brown, a clerk. was arrested, and many decks of cards, poker chips and card tables, were conhsoated.
 Police Commissioner Waldo prom ised tonight to. make public a list of the names of the owners and agents of buildings rented for gambling purposes or houses of i'll repute, and which he has had prepared for the use of the
 
 ceedings before Justice Golf to expose police corruption. This list accord ing to information obtained at police headduarters today, contains the names of men high in social and finan- cial circles of the city.
 High Rents Charged.
 That the district attorney would use the list for purposes of prosecution after the ownership of the illegally used property had been established by testimony before Justice Golf, was made known today by a representative of the district attorney
 Commissioner Waldo's statistics show, it is said, that rents charged are in cases fifty per cent, higher than for property used for other purposes in the same block.
 Effective Method of Suppressins Vice.
 This proposed prosecution of owners of illegal places is said to have been suggested by Justice Golf as enc of the most effective weapons that could be employed to clean up vice in New York city. 4 few such prosecutions with the accompanying publicity would in the opinion of the justice put fear of similar exposure in the hearts of other Peputedly respectable property owners, with the result that the num- Der of illegal resorts able to find shell ter would be greatly reduced.
 eehePPs Complains of Treatment.
 The hearing of the vagraney charge against Sam Sehepps. entered against him in order to hold him as a material witness against Becker and his alleged teels, was today put over until next Tuesday with his counseIs consent.
 Schepps, who was brought into court from the West Side prison, com platned that he was not getting the comforts of life" due a states wit ness. He was assured that arrange ments for alleviating his unhappy lot as far as was in the power of the dis tr1ct attorney would be immediately made.

LAFoLLETTE WINS OUT.
Senate Passes Penrose Resolution
 After a Three Days Fight.

Washington, Aug. 26.-At the end of a three days fight in which Senator LaFollette's threat of a continued fili- buster hung over the senate to force consideration, that body today passed the Penrose resolution, calling for a complete investigation of the cam paign contributions of John D. Arch bold and George W. Perkins, and of all financial transactions and corTe- spondence relating thereto' between the two financiers and "Col. Theodore Roosevelt, representatives in congress and members of the senate of the United States"
 The objections to the resolution died out in the final hours of the session. When the senate met at noon it had been mutually agreed that no opposi- ton would be made to Senator LaFol- lette's request for action. Based on the charges made by Senator Penrose that the Standard on company had contributed S1O0,000 to the Roosevelt fund in 1904. the resolution had been amended by Senators Poindexter and Penrose, to cover all the activities of Mir Archbold and MT. Perkins of a political nature.

ARMY MAY REINFORCE
 NAVY AT NICARAGUA
In Event of Serious Trouble, Tenth
 Infantry May Be ssnt.


 Washington, Aug. 2s.-The navy's resources on the Pacific coast have been drawn upon to such an extent that should further trouble be eucoun- tered in Nicaragua beyond the power of the present protective forces to cope with. or should some of the Am erieen lives CT interests in other Cen tral or South American countries be jeopardized, the army would be called upon to assist the marines. The Tenth infantry now on the Panama canal zene, would be the first called upon to answer the cali. This branch of the service Is said to be much better equipped than the marines for land- ing parties.
 The accident to the Vtclesburg, re- ported today, Is serious, because 1t takes practically the last available vessel for duty on the Pacific coast. The state department says 1t must have vessel for the Mexican coast. The navy has none except the cruiser Cleveland. which has just been taken out of reserve and ordered to Nica- ragua. These orders have been re- sctnded and the Cleveland is now or dered to overtake the Vicksburg at Magdalena bay and escort her back to Mare island for repairs. This will take three days. The Cleveland will then proceed to carry out the Vicksburg's s orders.
 The Vicksburg when last heard from today was about 160 miles from Mag dalena bay, slowly making her way by sail. She Is believed by the navy de- partment to be in no immediate dan ger.

DECLARES ENGINEERS
 ARE LITERALLY PAID
Railroad Attorney Argues Against
 Granting Demand for Increase.

Granting Demand for Increase
 New York. Aug. 26.-WilIiam Mo Kinley Duncan, attorney for the gifty two railroads east of Chicago, today presented a lengthy brief to the arbi- tration board that recently heard the testimony of officials of the companies and of their engineers on the demands of the engineers for an increase in pay and changes in conditions of their work. The brief Is an exhaustive ar gument against granting the engi- neers increased compensation, con tending that their wages at present are full, fair and liberal. It says also that standardization of rules is i'm practicable.
 MT. Duncan says the engineers of the lines involved received in 1910 and 1911 an increase in pay of S4444, ,290, or 10.S per cent, and that If their present demands had been granted and applied against the year 1911 1t would have increased their compensation $7,172,545 or 17.71 per cent. This would not mean, he adds, that ell the 52 railroads would have been called upon to increase their payrolls r per cent, but the increases would have varied from 10.4 per cent. on the Bessemer and Lake Erie to 56.36 per cent. on the coal and ooker ailroads.
 The brief says that the granting of the engineers demand for a standard ization of pay and of rules would be impracticable on so many railroads op- erating in territory so extensive be- cause of the dissimilar physical char acteristics of the roads, their varying traffic conditions and the marked va riations in their earning capacities.
