BRYAN WAS CONSIDERABLE.
Reference to President Taft Left Out
of DenunciatiOn.

Helena. Mont.-A story of the
chivalry of William J. Bryan is told
by Robert F. Rose of this city for
merly private secretary to the Com
moner, who acted in the capacity of
his confidential stenographer at the
Baltimore convention
Before going to the convention"
said Mr.. Rose, Mr.. Bryan dictated
to me his now famous Ryan-Belmont-
Morgan resolution, and it contained
caustic reference to the steam-rol-
Ter methods of the republican ma
tional committee and to President
Taft as the recipient of favors of the
interests. On going to the hall Mr..
Bryan was informed that Mrs. Taft
was in the audience, and, out of con-
sideration of her feelings, he struck
from the resolution all reference to
the president. | went to him after
the resolution was adopted and
asked him is he had purposely omit
ted that part of the resolution die
tated to me, or if it was an over
sight.
" 1 purposely omitted it, he said.
Mrs. Taft occupied box and | de-
sired to do nothing which would sub
! ject her to humiliation.

RESISTS EXTRADITION.
Man Wanted in Ohio Loath to Leave
Oregon.

Salem, Ore.-Contending that one
OF the offenses was committed prior
to the time of a law being passed
making it a crime, and that the in
dictment in the other case did not
allege facts sufficient to constitute
a crime, attorneys for DR.. w. J. Sta
pish of Hermiston, wanted by Ohio
authorities on two indictments, made
a hard fight before Governor West
against eXtfsdition.
Stapish was treasurer of the In
diana Mining Company, and one of
the indictments charges him with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses by selling stock he represent
ed to be treasury stock, when in fact
it was his own. The attorneys con-
tend in this case the indictment does
not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute a crime.
The other indictment charges him
with publishing false reports as to
the condition of the company. His
attorneys take the position that the
law on this subject was passed in
1908, and the offense committed in
1906, when there was no law
against it.

BIG MINING DEAL,
Takilma Property Reported Sold to
San Francisco Parties.

A mining sale that is reported to
involve in the neighborhood of $780,
600 has just been negotiated through
which the well-known Takilma prop
erty, purported one of the richest
copper propositions in the west,
passes from the G. l.. Tutt estate to
j. o. B. Gum and associates of San
Francisco, the latter being already
known here as the Elder Copper
Mining Company.
This recent transfer from the Tut
estate includes 80 patented claims,
200 acres of patented ground, and
the townsite of Takilma, and added
to the other large holdings of the
Elder company makes it one of the
biggest mining propositions on the
coast, This company has Deen ship
ping ore for some time from the
Waldo and other properties, but it's
plans for the recent purchase have
not been made public. 1t is known,
however, that development will be
pressed, and that the smelter will
likely be put into immediate COM
mission.
Included in the Takilma group are
such noted mines as the Cowboy, the
Aytle and the Queen of Bronze, with
thousands of tons of ore in sight and
ready for the smelter.

small boy, whose name is not given.
The boy approached Mr.. Lager and
proudly counted out nickels and
dimes to the required amount and
when asked as to how he had secured
the money replied that he had
earned it all by having his face clean
at meals. He said he got cents a
day for coming to the table with a
clean face, and that although he
missed several days, sometimes as
many as three in succession, he be-
gan sufficiently early so that by the
opening of Chautauqua he had the

IF the germs should get into the
garden" said DR.. Gum, they would
be widely spread by garden truck.
All the ground in the vicinity will be
disinfected and policeman will be
stationed at the house, to see that
disease is not communicated to the
neighborhood.
+. "The sickness caused by the hook
worm is not contagious, but the min
ute the worm itself is freed from the
body of one wnom it infests, it will
work into the flesh of another. Bare
footed field workers are especially
liable to attack"

Namara cases were predicted by w.
j. Burns, head of the Burns National
Detective Agency, in the case of Clar-
ence S. Darrow, the Chicago attorney
on trial at Los Angeles on a charge
of jury bribing, should he decide to
make a complete confession of all he
knows, sparing no one.
Mr.. Burns arrived in Chicago re-
Gently from California, fresh from
the famous trial.
Il don't think that it would be
necessary to send any one to prison
in case the full facts could be made
known through a confession" he
said. Then the public would know
Just what men were connected with
this outrage, how they went about
their work and what they did. /
think that it would do more good in
cleansing the ranks of labor of
crooks than the mere sending of Dar-
row to prison. People would be
startled if they knew the names of
every one connected with the das-
tardly plot"
Yes, he does. He is smart enough
to realize the strength of the case
against him." said Burns. Il would
not be surprised if at any time he
confessed and threw himself on the
mercy of the court. He is being en-
couraged by his attorneys and
friends. E. n. Nockles, secretary of
the Chicago Federation of Labor. is
his constant companion in the court

CONGO HORRORS REPEATED.
State Department Sends -Deputation
Up Amazon.

Washington, d. ca repetition
of the horrors of the Congo rubber
industry among the native rubber
gatherers of Peru is the cause of
dangerous mission which the state
department has sent up the Amazon
river in the interests of humanity.
Acting Secretary Wilson received
information Friday that Captain
Stuart Fuller, one of the depart
ment's most trusted agents, had ar
rived at Iquitos, 1000 miles up the
Amazon, on his way to the wild
stretch of country to learn the facts.
Reports indicate the existence of
conditions below the equator that
parallel the outrages in the Congo
country, where natives were forced
by tortures and mutilations to collect
certain quantities of rubber for Bel
gian and other concessions.
The concessionaire in Peru is as
serted to be British corporation.
British representatives and the Brit
ish government disclosed the charges
against this corporation. The state
department, although no American
citizens are involved, consulted with
British officials and others interest
ed in the welfare of the natives and
made strong representations to the
Peruvian government. 1t secured
pledges from that government that
the obnoxious conditions would be
terminated
The government then dispatched
Captain Fuller to ascertain whether
the Peruvian pledge has been re-
deemed. Captain Fuller is an Iowan,
who rendered signal service to the
state department during the dis
turbed days in China.
