Some of the more indirect advan

readily seen. 1t deepens the interest
of the donors in the school and leads
them to more frequent visitations

forming a constituency which greatly
assists the school board in its aim to

The various gifts from the organiza.

occasions representatives of such bod

assembly of the school to make a for.

Havana, Oct. 25.--A brisk battle be.

ing which several hundred shots were
fired and number Of people fatally
wounded, broke out after midnight in
Central park in the heart of the city
at the close of a meeting Of supporters
of Vice President Alfred Zayas, who
is candidate for the presidency.
The meeting was conducted peace
fully until the last speaker assembled
the platform, when several shots were
fired, apparently by a group Of con-
servatives gathered in front of a hotel.
Instantly the crowd began to disperse
and the fusillade became general, ex-
tending across the park and down the
prado. For ten minutes the firing was
brisk.
Strong forces Of mounted police
and cavalry charged repeatedly with
drawn machetes and firing revolvers.
The mob returned the fire.
A crowd of adherents of Zayas halt
ed in front of the Asbert club, firing
volleys at the windows. the shots be-

club by the supporters of General AS

GAINS FOR TAFT
SEEN BY STIMSON
Secretary Of War In Chicago Inter
view Says Presidents Supporters
Are Increasing Daily

Chicago, Oct 25.-The secretary OF
war, Henry L. Stimson, at Taft head
quarters here yesterday discussed the
political situation.
IT find the political situation dis
tinctly improved from the republican
standpoint since my last visit to Min
nesota about Z. month ago. he said.
"That was be 4ore the primaries, and
naturally the chief interest was CEN
tered upon the local candidates.
"Since the primaries the candidate
for governor and other republicans
Of prominence have come out for
Taft"
Director David w. Mulvane of the
Taft Headquarters has included Iowa
in the states recently placed in the
republican column by him.
"A poll of Iowa has been practically
completed" he said. 1T shows that
the vote for President Taft will ex-
ceed 100000, while the votes cast for
Roosevelt will be within 100000. VIII
son will not receive more than $4,000.
"There Is no need to feel any alarm
upon that score. To carry Illinois, for
instance, Roosevelt must get the votes
Of eight out OF every ten republicans,
and every one will agree this is not
within the range of possibility. A SINH
lar unattainable percentage prevails
generally. The Wilson managers are
trying to get votes by using Roosevelt
as togy man to scare republicans"

WRITE NAME IN
Chairman of California Re-
publican Committee Ad-
vises Voters Not to Use
"Stickers" at Election.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 25.-Sen-
ator Edward l. Wolfe, chairman OF the
Taft republican minority convention
published here today statement to
Taft republicans throughout the state
in which he warns them that they can
not use stickers to place the names OF
Taft electors on the ballot and that to
write in the names Of such electors
would do Mr.. Taft's candidacy no good.
In part the statement reads:
"There are no Taft electors nomi-
mated in the state OF California. The
thirteen republicans that walked out of
the progressive convention when by
a vote of 8S to 13 the convention
repudiated William Howard Taft, en-
deavored to get a supreme court de-
cision compelling the secretary of
state to place upon the ballot as re-
publicans the nominees Of their con-
vention. This the supreme court re-
fused to do.
consequently there are no Taft elec-
tors to vote for" a,.
In conclusion the statement says:
"As q result of this, for the first
time in the history of this state the
members Of the great republican party
of California are disfranchised. And
it is within the power Of republicans to
rebuke this action in no uncertain way
on November s."
