MAN AND DAUGHTER
 SERIOUSLY HURT Charge Against Negroes Made Highway Robbery GRAND JURY ON CASE Stated That MT. Daniels Skull May Be Fractured and His Daughters
 Shoulder Blade Is
 Broken
GRAND JURY ON CASE

The charge of burglary and grand larceny which was docketed against the names of George Harris, George Fulton. George Wilkins and Jackson Zigler, negroes, who were arrested by Officers Moser and Clements late Thursday evening, was yesterday morn ing changed to that of highway rob bery and at present they are not al- lowed bond. The four negroes are those who about o'clock Thursday evening held up and attempted to rob T. w. Daniel, proprietor of a grocery store at 3403 North Eleventh avenue. and beat his daughter and himself in at tempting to escape when locked in the store room.
 When the arrest was made Thurs day evening officers had not fully in- vestigated the case and the charge against the four negroes was booked at the city Jail as burglary and grand larceny.
 At the time of the arrest Thursday evening 1t was believed that MT. Daniel and his daughter, Miss Steada Daniel, were only slightly injured. Yesterday iboi iiii ioWtNCis IL DtCdnt hho VII dt police headquarters that the condition of both the man and his daughter was serious. Doctors fear that there has been a fracture inflicted in Daniels skull when one of the negroes was attempting to force his way through the front door and the old gentleman is confined in his home suffering ex- cruciating pains. Miss Daniel. who held the side door and prevented the escape of another of the gang until a boarder came to her assistance, is also in a serious condition. Although an examination has not yet been made it was stated yesterday at her home that the right shoulder blade had been broken and that she was severely bruised about the head. Both are un- der the care of physicians.
 Wilkins confessed to being the one who had ran from Daniel. After some persuasion by the two officers Zigler confessed to being the brains of the attempt to rob Daniel. Officers Moser and Clements say he stated that in formation had come to him through a negro woman that Daniel would have about 5000 on his person and in the store Thursday evening and that 1t would be easy to knock him in the head and get it." He told of how they had planned to go to the store. kill Daniel and get the money"
 It was stated at police headquarters yesterday morning that Zigler is ne gro who has been hunted by the de- partment for over a year on charge of having shot up several Italians at the corner of Twenty-e eighth street and Fifth avenue about year ago.
 The ease has already been brought to the notice of the grand jury, war rants for the four negroes will be is sued at once, and they will be trans ferred to the county jail.

Marshall Attacks Roosevelt

Grand Island, Neb., October N.-Gov- ernor Marshall. who stopped here this afternoon on his 7o0o-mile speaking trip to the Pacific coast was applauded when he attacked Colonel Roosevelts action in the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany's case declaring that J. P. Morgan threw "a fit into President Roosevelt, and thereupon President Roosevelt vio- lated his oath of office as chief execu- tive.'
 He also attacked republican tariff theo- ries at a big open air meeting. He tossed a large piece of English suiting goods into the crowd and with the figures of a New York importer as basis for his argument declared that such material could be bought in Nebraska for less than one-half the present price if the tariff were reduced

Inquiries About Victim

Milwaukee. October 1S.-Coonel Roose-
 velt's assailant, John Schrank, exhibited
 today for the first time an interest in
 Colonel Roosevelt's condition when J.
 Bailey. sentenced to 90 days was brought
 into the tier of cells where schrank is
 confined. Papers containing news of the
 attack have been denied the prisoner and
 for that reason he did not know the
 condition of his victim.
 'Is Roosevelt still alive?' he asked
 Bailey, who answered in the affirmative
 Schrank did not reply, and walked back
 to his cell.
 The prisoner spent very quiet day
 in the small enclosure to which he is
 confined, saying he was willing to take
 whatever is coming to him" Schrank has made his will, 1t was learned today through fellow prisoner One of it's provisions is that the missile which probably would have killed Colo nel Roosevelt but for the double manu- script and metallic spectacle case through which it passed be given to New York historical society and placed upon exhi-
 bition with the gun in the rotunda of the capitol building in Albany Schrank the deputy says. told one of his fellow prisoners that he desires the bullet and revolver to be a constant re- hinder to posterity of the danger of att tempting to violate the third term tradi- tion."
 Chicago, October 1S.-A man giving his name as Etienne LaTourelle went to the Mercy hospital today and asked that Colonel Roosevelt be measured that he wanted to send the nominee coat of armor which might be worn under his waistcoat and which would turn a pistol hulet of ordinary weapons much better than fhe steel plate the colonel wears. It appeared the man had overheard some say that Colonel Roosevelt always wore steel plate over his heart and he wanted to provide better defensive meas ures. When informed the steel plate story was a hoax the man disappeared.

GOVERNOR WILSON
 MAKES MERRY AS HE
 SPEAKS IN THE RAIN
sidered position of the democratic party with regard to the tariff
 States Tariff Position
(Continued from Page One)


 with regard to the tariff
 States Tariff Position
 "The democratic party does not pro- pose free trade or anything approach ing free trade. It proposes merely reconsideration of the tariff schedules such as will adjust them to actual bus mess conditions and interests of the country Every observant business man must have realized long ago that tariff schedules were constructed in such a way that business was not upon normal basis in the United States. They do not constitute system of we'll considered protection. On the contrary. they embody innumerable cunningly devised and carefully concealed spe- cial favors and particular groups of capitalists and manufacturers have taken advantage of these special ta- vors to build monopoly up in a way that Is threatening and dangerous to every new and independent enterprise.
 '1t is obvious that the country de- mands and will sooner or later obtain d thoroughly considered revision of tho tariff and the serious practical ques- tion now Is when and how shall 1t be brought about? It is practically out of the question that the republicans should control the majority of the next House of Representatives; it is evident that lnOSe MHO SldHu pat oll ilt ldi III will not control the next Senate the forces of reform will be dominant in both houses.
 ITO be held a standstll in such circum- stances by President entirely out of sympathy with Congress will be to gen. crate greater and greater uneasiness greater and greater restlessness, deeper and deeper discomfort.
 Should Better Present Conditions
 "In spite of all the obstacles of the existing tariff system. an inelastic cur rency, and uncertainties of politics, com mercial and industrial interests of the country are moving forward in an ire sistible stream. The argument is put forth, therefore, to let well enough alone The argument would be very im- pressive if we really thought present con- ditions are well enough, but we know they are not. They constantly involve the influences of monopoly, of manipula- tion, of private control. and even if they were we'll enough, 1t is not leaving them alone to elect MT. Taft President. to hold restless nation at standstill for four years and exasperate the very forces which may now, if properly guided and wisely moderated. remove every obstacle to free enterprise and unlimited business expansion. .
 ''There are more possibilities of panic ensuring upon abounding prosperity under the present system than there could be under any other and every dictate of prudence, every instinct of statesman ship. ought to point to those early re- forms which can be accomplished in good temper by common counsel and in moder- ate form. We cannot stand still, least of all when the opportunity of unbounded prosperity beckons us on.
 ''To retain our present endorsements would be to miss our chance"

him to be extremely careful to avoid over fatigue during the journey. They told him at the outset that if he returned home so soon he must keep strictly to himself during the trip and there ought to be no attempts at speaking.
 The colonel said he hoped the people at the towns along the line of travel would not come out with the expectation or hearing from him, for it would be inn possible for him even to leave his state room. Colonel Roosevelt will probably make the trip in regulation compart- ment car.
 Answers Telegrams
 Colonel Roosevelt today wrote replies to a few of the many telegrams that had come to him since he entered the hospl- tai His physicians. however. watched him carefully, and when they thought that he had exerted himself enough told him he must rest He spent several hours with his new books.
 Colonel Roosevelts condition was so satisfactory tonight that 1t was an- nounced at 1 o'clock that the usual night bulletins of the physicians would not he issued. Dr. Scurry paid a, brief visit to the colonel and found that he was resting easily. The clinical record show ed virtually no change.
 The clinical record taken at 9:30 D. m. showed that Colonel Roosevelt's tempera- ture had risen slightly from the sub normal point recorded in the physicians bulletin issued at 6:45 The change was attributed to the fast that after finish ing his dinner Colonel Roosevelt rested for a time. The record: Pulse S2, tenn perature 9S.2, respiration IS.
 The following official bulletin was issued at 6:4S D. m: Pulse 76, temperature 9s. respiration 20.

 'sHe upholds as just and right the con- tention of MT. Bryan that that which has happened to him. should not be allowed to stop or confuse this fight. He asks the democrats and the republicans 10 continue their campaign, but I ask you now to redouble your efforts that you may take on your own shoulders little part of the burden that he has borne so long,"

Every story is supposed to convey
moral; either expressed or Inn

obvious. The producers must stand
together and make the middlemen
their agents rather than their mas

cost Finally, home products should
be preferred to those raised under a

in proportion to their immediate
needs, thus serving the consumers, al

a moderate price. | wish the people
of the entire country could grasp the
significance of the work that is being
done by your two associations, as
shown by the result given in this re-

"The members of your organiza-

grateful that they have had a loss
of less than 81 in $4,000, thus CIV

returns, and too often loss through
ineiiiciency and dishonesty under the
ordinary plan of shipping to un-

The expense OF marketing fruit UNI

persons depend on this industry for
a living, in whole or in part, and the

anyone honestly holding such an

repeatedly fined for refusing 10 serve
as road supervisors; which is a no.

Is proposed to put roadwork in the

Judge Coad that there are over 1900
miles of roads in the county; about
325 miles of which are the main
travelled roads leading into the trade
centers Of Dallas, Independence,
Monmouth, Falls City, Perrydale, Nc
Coy, Ballston and other places.
Taking the total road mileage of
the county as basis, we find that
the road expenditures amount to less
than $2S; and the bridge expendi-
lures about 81 per mile, annually,
for such period Previous to that
time the expenditures were much
less, as may readily be seen from
the amount expended in 1906, which
was less than $11 per mile upon our
present road mileage.
Question: What would expert high
cost road builders accomplish with
$11 to $S7 per mile, annual expendi-
tures?
