While the plans with reference to

road from Memphis south, on the

PARTY CRITICS
VIGOROUSLY WENT AFTER DR..
TRACTORS OF REPUBLICAN,
PARTY.
D EFEN DIS HIMSELF
Says He Gets Impatient When He Is
Criticised for Enforcing Sher.
man An thrust Law.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 30.-Presi-
dent Taft tonight took off his gloves
and went for the detractors Of the
Republican party as represented BY
his administration. This was the
most vigorous speech he has made
since he became President. He
was addressing the Columbus Glee
Club and he was pursuing further
his campaign plan outlined first in
Cleveland last night.
Also the President let it We
known beyond all question or doubt
that he believed the Republican party
will win the fight next November.
He said he had been misunderstood
once about that, but he would not
be again.
When the President jumped into
the critics of the administration who
have attacked him because of the en-
forcement of the Sherman anti
trust act, he said:
"These people make me impatient
Both party platforms in 1908 call FOR
a rigid enforcement of the anti
trust law. After ] was elected l got
some lawyers about me who knew
what the enforcement Of the law
means, enforcement in the courts
and net, in the newspapers. Now We
are told we have forfeited ali
rights to the support Of business be-
cause we enforce the laws. The Re-
publican party is not under any OBJ
legation to destroy business. We
will protect all business that squares
itself with the law. But, am moi
here to apologize for the enforce.
ment of the law and not here te
shake my CORY hands at you and sa,
what more I am going to do"
AS for the tariff, the President
said that only the Democrats ane
insurgents have been heard by the
country. The real Republican party
will be heard next.

BERT H. FRANKLIN, DETECTIvE,
HAS CONFESSED, FURTHER
MATCHMAKING BARROW.
M MYSTERIOUS MAN
Said To Be Friend Of barrow. Who
Has Been In Los Angeles Msu
Be Indicted.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 30.-De-
Velopments, sensational and rand.
Will follow the positive knowledge
today that Bert H. Franklin. Nc
Namara defense detective, awaiting
trial for jury bribing. has confessed.
thereby turning the prosecution ar
row at Clarence Darrow, chief coun-
sel for the dynamiters. 1t became
known tonight that Franklin had
made complete confession, telling
all the inside workings of the alleg-
ed plot to purchase prospective
jurors.
1t has developed that in his CON
fession, or rather exposure. Frank
lin not only implicated barrow, but
also connected a personal friend cf
barrow who came here from Chi.
cago for the alleged expressed pur.
pose OF assisting barrow. The lat
tenss friend was known about town
under an assumed name, and 1t is
understood that an indictment will
soon be returned against him for
completely In the alleged bribery con-
spiracy.
The part that Darrow's unnamed
friend Is alleged to have played in
the matter Will be exceedingly sinter-
esting, for 1t Is limited that he came
upon the scene at the very outset OF
the Mcnamara trial. His meetings
with barrow are said to have been
clandestine and he was not known TO
the persons who were in constant
touch with the attorneys for the de-
Tense. 1t is understood that this
man was even unknown to Darrow's
legal associates, LeCompte Davis,
Job Hartman and Joseph Scott Ac-
cording to- the information that
Franklin impaired to Ford, this mys-
ferrous man was k1>Yn to him and
Darrow alone.
Franklin, it is alleged, did not
know the real identity of Darrow's
friend, till some time after his ar
rest for jury tampering. There are
persistent rumors afloat tonight that
in order to bring about the arrest Of
Darrow's friend, Franklin will be re-
lieved of the $4,000 bond unde.
which he is. at present prohibited
from leaving the state.
narroxss Sfdfampnt
In answer to- many inquiries Clar-
ence barrow tonight gave out the
following statement:
/, ITO My Friends in Chicago and Else
where:
II am innocent of the charges that
have been brought against me and
hope that you will withhold

The charges that have been brought
against me are too serious to Urea
lightly. Doubtless the district at

end 1t will be- shown that . grav'
error and injustice has been perpe
trated and that am the victim"

resented Arkansas as one Of the dele
gates in the Adjourned Head Camp
meeting of the Modern Woodmen of
America, held for the purpose of re-
vising the rates of the order. The
convention lasted five days and was
addressed by the Insurance Commits
sioners of six or seven states and sew
eral actuaries relative to the import
ance of an increase of rates.
Judge KerWin said, in addition to
making the society one of the strong
est fraternal orders in the country,
the raise at this time was due to de-
sire to comply with the uniform in
surance bill which has passed the leg
islatures of thirteen states, known as
the Mobile Bill. He said further, that
the action of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, would in his opinion give an
endorsement to the Mobile Bill, and
actuata other fraternal orders in TAX
ing prslzpt action, either to aid the
pasagG As&he Mobile Insurance Bill
or against its passage.
With the rates adopted at Chicago.
.WhiQ u go sintogs effect January,
1918, or TO be. accurate Dec. 81, 1912,
each member is given the option Of
taking whole life insurance or term
insurance up to the ages of either so,
go or 70. The burden in the Modern
Woodmen, as in all fraternal organ
izations of It's kind, has been borne by
the younger members; that is from
the insurance they pay there is al
ways a surplus; and that which the
older men pay there comes defl-
cheney. This is due to the fact that.
quite naturally, the young man has a
larger expectancy than the old. The
rates have been equalized to distrib-
ute the burden heretofore borne by the
younger men, and to make every mans
certificate in the order worth dollar
for dollar.
ct will, until understood by the
membership" said Judge Kerwin,
meet considerable opposition" Ask
ed as to the weather and amusements
in Chicago at this time Judge Ker-
win replied. "The weather was de-
lightful. The cold WEATHER in the
North is not as penetrating as that in
our section; there Is no dampness at
tached to it. The air Is really brac-
ing and invigorating. AS to the amuse-
ments four very fine attractions were
on. The Woman presented by DAY.
