Schepp Hiding.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 14.-While
it is practically certain that Sam
Schepps, held as a witness in the Ro-
senthal murder case is not far from
the business district here, he has not
been seen by newspaper men sipse
last night.
The return of Schepps in the cus-
tody of Fred Johnson was merely fof
precaution. Whitman's representatives
are expected here soon.
The train on which the represen-
tatiyes OF the district attorney Of
New York are expected to arrive is
reported late.
In the event conflicting efforts are
made to get Sohepps,it became known
today that Postmaster Fred Johnson
stands ready to file charge against
Sche.ps before a United States COM
missioner here. This woUld cause de-
lay which would permit the arrival
of the district attorneys men, cor
whom all concerned here say they are
holding Scherps.
The start of Bernard Sander, at
torney for Schepps, for Hot Springs
may, however, delay the delivery of
the prisoner to any person until Sand
Ter himself arrives. 1t is pointed ut
that Schepps is held without legal
process. He understands his position
and has repeatedly declared himself
satisfied with conditions

w. E. HAYES LOSES HIS LIFE
WHILE MAKING EFFORT TO
SAVE YOUNG LADY.
HIS BODY WAS RECOVERED
Miss Finch, Who Was in Surf With
the Young Man, Had Very Mar
row Escape, Being Saved by Leo
Arnold.

While endeavoring to save the life
of Miss Emma Finch of Atlanta, w. E.
Hawes, aged 21, also of Atlanta, lost
his life in the surf in front of the
Arnold House on St. Simon early yes
terday morning, while the young lady
was rescued by Leo Arnold.
Young Halves had an engagement
to take an early morning surf bath
with Miss Finch and another young
lazy, both of whom were stopping at
the Arnold House. Mr.. Hawes was
making the new hotel his headquar
ters, and he was late for the surf
bath. Just as he arrived the young
ladies' were preparing to return to
the bathhouse, having been in the
water for some little time, but the
young man insisted that Miss Finch
remain in for a short time longer,
which she di1.
There was practically no surf roll
ing and but few were in bathing. Un-
aware of the fact that they were
gradually venturing out a little too
far the young people were struck by
a wave, which separated them. 1t
was then that they both realized that
they had gone out too far, and, be-
fore they had recovered from the
first wave another came along, which
knocked both of them off their feet.
The young man made an effort to
reach the young lady, who was nearer
the beach, but he was unable to swim
and had never regained his fcothold
on the bottom after he was knocked
over by the wave. They both strug-
gled for their lives, the young lady
being able to touch the bottom at
times and saved herself from drown
ing.
Fortunately Leo Arnold, who is
connected with the Arnold House, was
standing on the beach and. ne rushed
into the surf in an effort to rescue
the young couple, but the young man
had gone down and did not appear
again until his body was recovered
yesterday afternoon, when the incom-
ing tide washed him ashore almost
in the identical spot where he had
lost his life.
Mr.. Arnold reached the side of the
young lady just in time to save her
life. She was carried to the hotel
in a very nervous and serious con-
dition. Medical aid was summoned
and she was soon all right. Miss
Finch came up to the city yesterday
afternoon and left for Atlanta last
night.
Young Hawes arrived at the Hotel
ST. Simons only a few days ago to
spend his vacation. He was conneot-
ed with the T. R. Lewis wholesale
cracker dealers of Atlanta, and was a
well known and popular young man
of that city.

Washington, Aug. 14.-William
Bruce MacMaster, American vice con-
sui at Cartagena, Colombia, has been

state department today reporting the
death do not say whether it was an
accident or a murderous assault. An
investigation is being made.
Mr.. MacMaster was killed last Sun
day while hunting" according to the
report of the state department. An
attack upon his life two years ago
and the strain imposed upon his re-
lations with the Colombian judicial
authorities because of his efforts to
punish the would-be assassins excites
the suspicion of officials here as to
the cause of his death.
About two years ago, because he
had killed a native in self-defense,
MacMaster was attacked by several
Colombians and dangerously wounded
He was arrested on the charge OF
murder, and though acquitted by a
lower court, was found guilty and SEN
fenced to imprisonment by an appel
late tribunal.
, The United States government n-
teryened and secured a new trial
which resulted in his acquitts' il
June, 1911, but he had ever since beer
fearful of further violence.
Mr.. MacMaster was born in Colon

ROOSEVELT DID KNOW OF HAR-
RTMAN CONTRIBUTORS BE-
FORE ELECTION.
THAT HARTMAN plphER
Sum of 100000 of the Amount Went
Into New York by Arrangement
Report Causes Much Surprise in Po-
IiticaI Circles.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Theodore
Roosevelt in 1904 invited Edward
Hartman TO the white house to talk
about political campaign funds, ind
a few days after this talk the rail-
way nnancier raised $240,000 and
turned it over to the republican ma
tional committee, according to de la
rations made today to the special
senate committee of inquiry, by Ben.
B. Odell, former governor of New
York.
Mr.. Odells story of the Hartman
contribution was so different from
that told by George R. Sheldon that
the committee asked for an explana-
tion. Odell replied that Cornelius
Bliss, republican treasurer in 1904,
might have told some white lies
to Mr. Sheldon with whom he was
unofficially associated. Mr.. Sheldon
became treasurer of the 1903 cam
paign. He had testified that Mr..
Bliss and Mr.. Hartman arranged for
the contribution and that President
Roosevelt did not know about it until
after the election.
Odell testified that of Hartman S
contribution 100000 was spent in the
New York state campaign.
Roosevelt Caused 1t.
''In October of 1904" began Odell
under questioning, Il was requested
by Mr.. Hartman to lunch with him.
During lunch Hartman showed me
letter from President Roosevelt ask
ing him to come to Washington l was
chairman of the state committee that
year. MI. Hartman asked me what
| supposed the president wanted.
Il told him my opinion was that
Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to consult with
him as to New York and the financial
condition of the national committee.
'Mr. Hartman said he did not want
to go, but after talking it over he
told me he would.
"Mr. Hartman came to Washington
and a few days afterwards again
lunched with him." continued Mr.
Odell
He told me that the president was
anxious about the financial condition
of the national committee and would
like to have Mr.. Harriman's help"
Mr.. Odell detailed the subsequent
transactions that led up to the actual
contribution of $240,000.
Mr.. Odell said that in 1904 an ar
rangement was reached between him
self and the national committee, rep
resented by Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr.
Bliss, which provided that the com
mittee was to give the New, York
state committee $5O0,000.
During the campaign he received
100000 of the amount. Then Mr.
Cortelyou told him the national com
mittee could not deliver the remand
er. Mr.. Odell said he was sure both
state and national tickets would win
"but what embarrassed" him was that
he had promised district chairmen
along the Hudson and in the Long
Island counties (2,300 districts, con-
tanning 100000 voters) the $f90,O0O
lowed" him by the national coTamit-
tee.
Mr.. Harriman's contribution solved
the dilemma.

STEEL BILL WAS
VETOED BECAUSE
NO PROTECTION
TAFT pISAPPROVED MEASURE
FOR ITS PROVISIONS FOR
REVENUE ONLY.
IS NO FAIR TO EITHER
Affects Millions in Stocks of Store
keepers and Distributors Says
More vetoes are Coming in Near
Future.

Washington, Aug 14.-Within three
back the steel tariff bill to congress
with a message of disapproval, the
house today passed it over his veto.
The vote was 173 to pass it, SO
against it, and one present and not
voting. 1t is not expected to repass
the senate
In message to congress the pres
ident said he disapproved the meas
ure, because it provided for revenues
only, and took no account of protec-
ton for American industries. He
condemned the ways and means COM
mittee for refusing public hearings on
the bill. His veto was expected.
Mir. Taft gave as another reason
for his veto that the bill affected not
only the iron and steel industry, but
fifty-nine allied industries, which, he
said, were worthy of separate classi-
fications.
Mr.. Taft wrote he was not prepared
to say there were no items in the
steel schedule which might not vel
be reduced, but he pointed out that
it's ad valorem rate of duty was an
apparent reduction of Is per cent
from the duties of the Wilson law.
Changes Not Explained.
"a bill for a complete revision of
this schedule was presented to me a
year ago in the extra session of this
congress- wrote the president. MANY
increases and decreases of rates are
now made from those named in the
former measure. The changes are not
explained and indicate the hasty
method pursued in the preparation in
both. Is it not fair to ask either on
the basis of protection or revenue
which was right?"
con the whole, therefore, I am not
willing to approve any legislation OF
this kind, which vitality affects not
only millions of the workingmen and
families dependent on them, but hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
stocks Of goods in the hands of store
keepers and distributors generally,
without first providing for a careful
and disinterested inquiry into the con-
ditions of the whole industry.

All the little meadow and forest people
who had come to attend Billy Mink's big
meeting at the big hickory tree on the
bank of the Smiling Pool were very. very
sober. Every one was there excepting
Reddy Fox and Granny Fox. They had
not been invited because it was all on
their account that the meeting had been
called. Now every one was thinking and
thinking how to stop Farmer Browns
boy from hunting with his gun on the
Green Meadows and through the Green
Forest. 1t really wasn't safe to step out
side your own door in daylight any more.
Right down in his heart each one Of the
little meadow and forest people was
thinking the same thing. but the thought
was so dreadful that no one wanted to
put 1t into words. Finally Unc' Billy
Possum coughed once or twice. wiped his
face with his bandanna handkerchief.
and then said:
"Mah friends, we-alls Is thinking the
same thing. Ah reckon. an no one wants
to say what it is. Pears like to me that
we-alls has got to do something right
smart soon or else move away. An doan
want to go back away down souf, but All
sho' will have to unless we-alls can stop
Farmer Browns boy from hunting with
his dreadful gun. EOallS know VINO ne
is hunting for. If he could shoot Reddy
Fox Everybody shivered when Cnc' Billy
said this) or find his home or be sure
that Reddy had left the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest he would stop hunt
ing. 1t seems to me that we-alls must
give Reddy Fox up to save our own
skins. What do yo'alls say?"
'.It is a dreadful thing to do. but I
think we'll have to do it," said Jimmy
Skunk.
I'VE can't all be killed just to save
Reddy Fox, especially when he brought
on all the trouble himself" said Digger
the Badger.
How can we tell Farmer Browns boy
where Reddy is hiding?" asked Johnny
Chuck.
..Or Mistah Buzzard knows where Red
dy Fox is hiding. Let him tell Peter
Rabbit. Tomorrow when Farmer Browns
boy comes with Bowser the Hound Pc
ter can show himself to Bowser and
Bowser will chase him. Then Peter can
lead Bowser right up to the door of the
house in which Reddy Fox is hiding.
When Bowser smells Reddy in there he'll
forget all about Peter Rabbit and will
make such q fuss that Farmer Browns
boy will hurry up to find out what the
matter is," said Bobby Coon.
Every one agreed that this was the
done--that is, every one but Peter Rabbit
agreed.
II won't do it!' said Peter Rabbit.
you're afraid.' sneered Billy Mink.
I'm not afraid!' replied Peter Rabbit.

thing that ! can't do it."
