of 1,200 people, Senator Joseph B. For
aker at the auditorium tonight, deliv
ered an address in which ho defended
his action as a servant of the people of
Ohio and declared he is willing to abide
by their decision in the-future. The
occasion of this address was the annual
banquet of the Canton Board of Trade.
Senator Porakcr was down on the pro
pram to . deliver an address on '"Civic
Pride," but his speech was largely di
rected to his work as senator and a dec
laration that lie means to always do
best in his own way.- -
lie was received' with much cnthusi
asm as he stepped forward to speak.
.Senator Foraker; discussing pub
lished statements regarding the Presi
dent's attitude toward the senator's
speeches at this time, replied to a pub
lication mentioning him as one, of nn
anti-Roosevelt combination, reviewed
the investigation of the discharge - of
the negro soldiers on account -of the
trouble at Brownsville, Texas, reiterated
his views regarding recent railroad leg

Cincinnati, April 10. Congressman
NichouuT Longworth returned i homo
from Washington today. In ai inter
view he declared himself in favow-of the
nomination of Secrtary Taft as Re

said that his opinion was personal and
that he spoke for himself, but that he
believed that Taft in the eyes of the
people typified the Roosevelt adminis

Continuing, Mr. Longworth said:
"The great question before .the people
in the next presidential election will be,
in my opinion, t' approval or disap-'
proval of Republican policies as regis
tered by the legislative and executive
branches of this government for the
past eight years under the administra

It seems to me that after the Presi

so thoroughly typifies In the eyes of the
people the spirit of the Roosevelt ad
ministration as William II. Taft. There
is no one who can be better trusted to
carry out many of the great reforms

ASKS BRYAN TO
Editor Urges Nebraskan to Re
nominate President at Dem
ocratic Convention.
WAS REQUESTED NOT TO
MAKE THE ADDRESS
Chattanooga, Tenn., April 10. A sen
sational feature of the banquet given
here, tonight by the Bryan Anniversary
Club, at which W. J. 5 Bryan was the
guest of honor, was the letter and sub
sequent, speech of John Temple Graves,
editor of the Atlanta Georgian, who in
his letter refused to speak because the
toast master asked him not to talk about
bis (Graves') suggestion that Bryan
should nominate Roosevelt for reelec
tion. Later, Mr. Graves, after being per
suaded to take his place at the banquet
table, delivered his speech.
In beginning his address, Mr. Bryan
paid his respects to Mr. Graves and what
he had said. He complimented Mr.
Graves in the highest manner for his
honesty and his boldness, and said if
there was any place in the world where
absolute freedom of speech should pre
vail it ought to be in a Democratic gath
ering. ! He added that when he had
heard that Mr. Graves had retired from
the hall because there might be doubts
about the wisdom of what he had to
say, he had sent for the Georgian's edi
tor to return and insisted that the
speech should be delivered. Turning
directly to the subject of Mr. Graves'
recommendation, Mr. Bryan said :
"As at ' present advised, I shall not
present the name of Theodore Roosevelt
to the national Democratic convention.
Bear in mind, I say as at present ad
vised."' Mr.. Bryan contended that if after
mature consideration and reflection and
the presentation of the arguments in
the case, he should feel that his duty
lay in that direction, he would present
Mr. Roosevelt's name, even though it
should prove to be the last act of his. He
then went ou to say that if any Repub
lican was to be selected by the Demo
crats to head their national ticket the
man should be senator lAJJOiiette, or
Wisconsin. Mr. Bryan then proceeded
with his speech, presenting reasons why,
in his opinion, .Mr. Roosevelt was not
the proper man for the presidency.
Mr. Graves said:
"A gathering of Democrats in this
strenuous era may be always a feast of
fellowship, but it should be not less an
occasion for serious counsel and fearless
deliberation.
'The festival occasions of our modern
Democracy have in the main been feasts
of reason, but they nave very rarely
been followed bv any decisive flow of
the ballots in succeeding national cam
paiens. .
"We have always been right, 'but we
have rarely been Presidentonly once
in forty years. We bring out of the
turbulent years behind us a record of
high purposes, and hollow results, of
heroic advocacies and unavailing cam
paigns, of splendid enthusiasms, and
few victories, of radiant reform and
unrealized expectations, of unfailing loy
alties and a lamentable lack of the num
ber of ballots sufficient to entrench us
In the administration of the govern
ment. 1

NEGRO " LOWED TO GIT
CHARGE DROPPED AGAINST SALIS
BURY BLACK AND MAN WHO
THOUGHT HIM GUILELESS
Special to Daily Industrial News.
Salisbury, N. C, April 10. There was
an interesting small case in- the mayor's
court this morning when a sort of Mid
shipman Easy duel between the law and
two defendants was on.
Last night a fellow from New Lon
don giving his name aa Wlilliams went
into the money drawer of a restaurant
here and, taking $5 from it, gave it to
a negro named Arthur Barber, telling
him to take it somewhere and have it
changed into forms tangible enough to
aid a crao iranie.
Barber appears to be half-witted and
bears (he surname of "Paul," doing all
the bidding of the white- folks and gen
erally being no account. Williams told
him he would give- him $1 to get the
change. Paul started off and bought a
pair of shoes for a child, a second-hand
suit of clothes and appurtenances, spend
ing every cent of the $5.
A warrant was issued against .both
Williams and Paul, and' in the city
court this morning Paul got up aa his
defense: "I 'lowed to get my rake off."
Later the warrant was withdrawn on
the reeomn,ndation of the plaintiff, who
paid all cost and refused to iumL '.

Ward left his stove-working tools at ;

While the photograph received today
does not correspond very well with the
man who gave his name as "Briggs" a

from his conversation and manner,
those who saw the socalled Briggs are
convinced that he was either Vautare
himself or had been closely associated
with him.

Prisoner Hears Fearful Arraignment of
His Life and Character No Shred of
Delmas' Hero Being Left Four Ver
dicts Possible Under Instructions.
New York, April 10. Charged with
the responsibility of deciding the fate of
Harry Kendall Thaw, the jury which' .
since January 23 has been sitting in
judgment on the young slayer ot Man- ,
ford White, retired at 5.17 p. m. today
to begin the consideration of their ver
dict. "
Six hours later they had failed to .
reach an agreement and shortly fter 11 ..
p. m. were locked up for the night in
the juryroom- of the criminal court
building. Justice Fitzgerald, who had '
been waiting for some word from the
juryroom, became convinced at that hour
that he chances ot receiving a verdict
tonight were too remote to warrant his
remaining up any later. f
Justice. Fitzgerald had earlier in the
evening cone to his club uptown ana
had held an automobile in readiness to .
make a quick trip to the courthouse,
should he be needed. His instructions
regarding the locking up of the jury
were given by telephone.
It was said that when .lustice fitz-
gerald's message was received at the
courthouse the oflicers on duty thera
put the matter up to the jurors them
selves, asking if there was any possi
bility of their arriving at a Vermel
within the next few hours.
The reply from the juryroom was
strongly negative. The jury was said
to be almost hcnjelessly divided"tfnd none
of those connected with the case tonight
would venture the hope of anything bet
ter than a disagreement as the climax
of a long drawn out trial. . T
Harry Thaw sat in the prisoner's pen
adjoining the deserted courtroom during
the long hours of the jury's delibera
tions. By his side was his wife and nis
counsel who remained with him until all
hope of a verdict tonight was abandoned.
During the early evening all of the
Thaw family were with the prisoner
but before ten o'clock they made their
way uptown to their hotel.
In the life of Harry Thaw this dav
will go down as the most trying he has
ever experienced. From the opening of
court until the jury retired, the fates

ning with District-Attorney Jerome'i
final argument and throughout the
judge's charge, Thaw had to listen to a
scathing attack upon his character and
to a narrative drawn from the evidence,
which was meant to strip his deeds of
the halo of cliivalric glory 1 which his
own attorneys iiad thrown about them.
Four Verdicts Possible. .
The judge's charge, lasting about an
hour, was a concise outl;ne of the law,
and gave to the jury the alternative of
rendering any one of the following four
verdicts murder in the first degree;
murder in the second degree; man
slaughter in the first degree, or not
guilty on the ground of insanity.
The statute governing the plea of
insanity was defined clearly, much (tress
being laid on the fact thiit an irresisti

law. '. :."''
