SCHREITER'S SAFE YIELDS

Alleged discriminating Papers

Additional evidence Of graft In the

by Detective Walter j. Brennon, Of
the Burns agency, and Assistant

The detective found several yellow
paper slips with the names OF the
aldermen printed thereon, tn same as
those used for roll-calls in the council.
After the names Of some OF the alder
men were written certain amounts OF
money. The roll-calls are supposed
TO represent separate cases of bribery

import will be inquired, into fully.
After the names of the aldermen and
amounts "Pd" was written in several
instances on each roll-call, indicating
that the money had been paid. What
became OF the money written after the
other names is conjectural, but the
detectives believe Schreiter, acting In

pay certain aldermen the amounts set
after their name. keeping that much
more for himself, and saving the roll

STEAMER KIRBY SINKS
LAUNCH OFF SANDWICH
Boat Appeared To Be Occupied
But No Trace of Body
Is Found

The steamer Frank e. Kirby, bound
for Sandusky, struck and sank a
launch in the Detroit river, opposite
the Pittsburgh coal dock, below Sand
wich, shortly after midnight. There
were no lights on the launch and its
presence was not known by the OFF,
GERS OF the Kirby until the crash oc-
Cured. The launch sank In an In
slant.
The officers of the Kirby were OF
the opinion that a man or a woman
was in the launch and they quickly
lowered a lifeboat. Members of the
crew rowed about the spot where the
little boat went down, but failed to
find any trace Of body, nor did any
Of the wreckage come up.
The Kirby left her dock in Detroit
about IL o'clock. She carried freight
and passengers. The collision didn't
damage the Kirby particle and she
steamed back to Detroit TO report the
accident.

On prayer meeting night, when the
minister asks those present to call
for their favorite hymns, how often
the choice falls on "Beulah Land"
II has been sung for 35 years. The
accompaniment has been played on
wheezy foot-pumped organs, discord-
ant blanos, squeaky violins and hesi-
tating cornets, but the tuns and the
words have ever deeply Impressed
those who sang. And few have ever
known the name and who wrote it.
Edgar Page Sites used only his
first two names when he published
the verses. He has lived in modest
retirement practically unknown, al
though he might visit any church in
the world where the hymn has been
sung, ana he welcomed as the author.
Sites is now 70 years old. He

Among the white men wounded are

STEAMERS PASSENGERS
IN PANIC IN STORM

Passengers on the White Star lines
steamer, Wauketa, returning from the
St Clair Flats, Sunday night, had a
bad scare when the sudden rain and
wind storm swept over Lake st. Clair.
The passengers gathered at one side
OF the boat to avoid the driving rain
which was blown in on the decks
from the other side, and, in so doing
they caused the boat TO list. The
high waves added to the danger and
some Of the passengers became hys-
terical. Many donned life-preservers,
believing the boat would capsize. The
captain finally got the passengers
evenly distributed on either side or
the ship and the gale soon wore of,
without any serious consequences.

GOV. WILSON'S SPEECH
WILL SPARKLE WITH
PROGRESSIVE DOCTRINE
Tariff For Revenue Only and No
Second Or Third Term To
Be Features
NOMINEE STILL AT WORK
Will Outline Plan To Place Guilt
Personally For Trust Law
Violations

SEAGIRT, n. j.. July 29.-Tariff
for revenue only; no second or third
term for president, and personal
guilt for corporation officials who vio-
late antitrust laws OF the United
| States will be three great issues dis
cussed by Gov. Wilson in his speech
accepting the Democratic presidential
nomination. The governor will re-
turn from his ocean trip tonight. Inn
mediately his speech will be sent TO
the printer, so that II can get TO the
newspapers we'll In advance OF the
date or publication. 1t can be stated
that the speech will be the most pro-
gressive the candidate ever delivered.
He takes advanced ground on every
progressive question and plainly de-
clares that he believes in rule by the
people and In permitting such rule by
simplication of existing laws.
Naturally the tariff section OF the
speech will attract the most atten-
ton. The governor expressed him
self In unequivocal terms in discuss
ing this subject with the very few
men he took into his confidence in
considering 1t. He stated that he
considered the Democratic platform
plank absolutely binding on him, and
in his speech he will follow that line,
departing only to assure the country
at large that the tariff reduction must
be scientific and so adjusted that the
country will be protected. He will
make II very plain, however, that lux
uries should be taxed to the limit.
Referring to the Democratic plat
form declaration against a second
term, the governor will state that
this meets with his approval. He will
point out that such rule absolutely
assures an independent conduct OF the
presidential office. The governor will
then carry the fight directly to Col.
Roosevelt, taking up his aspirations
for reelection, and answering some
OF his recent arguments.
Regarding the trusts, the governor
Will warn all business that it's active
participation In politics, whether In.
nocent or harmful, will always leave
II under suspicious" and he will de.
clare not only for direct primaries
bat also for a corrupt practices law
national in scope, which will pro-
vide for the adequate punishment OF
all who resort to election frauds or
bribery Of the elector or OF the off,
cial.
The governor will state that legiti-
mate, honestly conducted enterprises
should receive every protection un-
der the law and that the govern.
ment should carefully investigate the
entire business situation; that the
laws to be enacted to strengthen the
present antitrust laws should be so
there could be no doubt anywhere re-
garding their application.
The governor will go to Trenton
tomorrow to transact state business.
Beginning Wednesday he has many
conferences scheduled with party
leaders at which campaign plans will
be carefully outlined and determined.
Chief OF these is the financing OF the
campaign which the governor Is still
anxious shall be dono through the
medium of popular subscription.
