UT ONE POLITICAL SPEECH FOR AUGUST $at Will Be Delivered at the Rally of Virginia Republicans That Will Be Held Sometime In August May At ( tend White Sulphur Horse Show. Hot Springs, Va., July 30. Candidate Yilliam H. Taft admitted this after- loon that he felt somewhat tired from he rapid evolutions he has been going hrough during the past eight days. He qnched the Homestead hotel, shortly be-m-o eleven o'clock today from Cincin lati, accompanied by Mrs. Taft and Jeneral and Mrs. Corbin. After passing on an accumulation of orrespondence, he went over the four nile golf course with Senator Bourne, f Oregon, as an opponent. Upon ro oming to the hotel, Judge Taft eas ily remarked that . he believed the hange from the heat of Cincinnati to he comparative cool of the mountains, irodtiecd a feeling of tiredness. At Covington, Va., where the car the sandidate's party occupied was switched ;o the branch line, Mr. Taft was greeted .y quite a crowd and shook hands and matted for some minutes through the lar window. The engagements during August are lo be very limited, if the wishes of the candidate can be realized. For next (Continued on Page Two.)

Har ris, of Dillsboro, has returned from Cin cinnati, where ho attended the ceremo nies of the notification to Mr. Taft, as the North Carolina member of the noti fication comittee. ' , Mr. Harris says Cincinnati observed the day as a general holiday, about 100, 000 persons being in the streets. Thero was a great procession and remarkable enthusiasm. Mr. Harris gathered that 5,000 to 10,000 Democratic Cincinnatians will vote for tho Republican nominee. He is held in very high esteom by his home folks. 1t Harris talked with Reoublicans from all over tho country and says that conceding to liryan Indiana, ivontucKy, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska and Col orado, Taft will be elected by a good majority. Mr. Harris thinks it a con servative estimate, however, that Taft will get half the aggregate electoral votes of these states. He was assured that Taft -vill carry Maryland as surely as Massachusetts. He has no doubt that Taft will carry Vatv ITnnrliiTul And fill thn eastern fitates. "Taft thinks much of North.

Orders have been issued that the battleship Jacob Van Heemskcrk be made ready to sail for the Caribbean Sen, and it is expected that she will start without delay. .,.-.'. It is explained officially that this bat tleship is the only reinforcement the government at present contemplates sending to the-West Indies. It is said that the main object of sending . the Jacob Van Heemskerk, to the West In dies is to have a second shin handy in case, for any reason, tho cruiser Gelder land, Which at present is in Venezuelan waters, should not be available at the moment wanted. Tho Gelderland is at present tlie only Dutch war vossol in the West Indies. . Tells Them They Should Vote for for Him as He Will Give Them Some of Their Reforms. CAN'T GET ALL, SO WHY WASTS BALLOTS Points Out General Similarity Between' Platform of the Hearstites and That of the Denver Convention and Urges the New Party To Follow Him. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 30. Al though the heat was most oppressive to day, Mr. Bryan was early at his office and at work. After reading the plat form adopted by the Independence party in Chicago he gave out the fol lowing statement: , . "It contains a number of planks which are identical with or substantially sim ilar to the planks of the Democratic plattorm. tor instance it demands the election of senators by direct vote of the people, as the Democratic platform does; its tariff plank is quite like our tariff plank; its plank on the trusts, while opposing private monopoly, is not as specific as ours; its railroad plani does not differ much from our3; its plank on Asiastic immigration is quits similar and its labor plank like ours contains a declaration in favor of trial by jury and in regard to the exemption of labor unions from the operation of the anti-trust laws. "Like our platform it condemns the extravagance of the Republican party and demands greater economy. It docs (Continued on Page Two.) T, E FATALLY BEFORE Desperate Fight Put Up by Sheriff and His Deputies at Pen sacola Jail. FOUR OF WOUNDED MAY DIE Pensacola, Fla., July 30. Two men killed and nine wounded, some of them !u tally, is the record of the clash be tween the mob bent upon lynching Lean der Shaw, a negro, and the sheriff and his forces in which the mob finally over powered the authorities. The lynching was carried out in the most prominent paric or tnis city. Shaw yesterday assaulted Mrs. Lil lian Davis, near this city, during the absence of her husband, and after cut ting her throat almost from ear to ear, clubbed her over the head with a re volver which he had taken from the house. During the afternoon when it became known that the negro had been arrested crowds began forming upon the streets and early in the night they were reinforced by large numbers of men from the country. The mob formed about eight o'clock last night and made an at tack On the county jail, where the negro was confined. The jail gate was broken down by the mob and the sheriff and his deputies opened fire. Three men dropped from the first vol ley of the sheriff's fire. Volley after volley wss then fired by the mob and the sheriff's force, but the mob was re pulsed. : About midnight another attack was made, the mob having increased to 1,000 determined men. The second attack was successful for the reason it was made upon all sides of the jail.

REPORT AN INFAMOUS LIE SAYS A. F. L. HEAD NHitlchcock Declares That Story That Personal Campaign Is to Be Waged Against Gompers Is Made of Whole Cloth And Is Utterly Without Truth. Washington, D. C, July 30. "The re port that I have ever said that I would or could deliver the labor vote to an'" political party is an infamous lie," said Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, todav. "Organized labor is not only honest, but intelligent enough to choose the party for its support which will best rep resent its interests. "It is possible that by lies, and mis representations the enemies of organ ized labor may injure me personally and even be successful in accomplishing my removal as president of the American Federation of Labor," said Mr. dompers, "but-that will never change mv course in battling for the principles for which I stand. "It is not a question of politics with me, I have no politics, wr it I have, they are the politics of the people. I fully expected when 1 took the stand which I have," said Mr. fiompers, that some would disagree with me. l don't expect the labor world to accept my conclusions in every instance. I ex pected to be criticized, too, in some quar ters, but I did not think that the criti cism would le so unjust as to be con temptible. I stand for the right of in dividual opinion. "I want no political office or honor. I have nothing for sale and don't propose to begin at this late day by selling my honor. ' "My editorial in the American Fetter ationist plainly and forcefully sets forth my position. Those who have taken issue wish the position therein set forth, not, understand me, with the position I am alleged to have assumed, are poli tical renegades and discredited outcasts of labor. I do not mean that those who differ with my opinion arc such, but those who have denounced me and claim that I have not set forth the facts as they are." Frank H. Hitchcock, Republican na tional chairman, when asked as to the truth of the report that a personal cam paign was to be w aged against Mr. Gom pers, replied: "Nothing of the kind has been ar ranged" ' GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO T Efforts Being Made to Reach Trouble Makers Through Ex tradition Laws. ARE NOT NOW EXTRADITABLE Washington, D. C, July 30. Inability to extradite offenders for socalled poli tical Offenses, but which, in the opinion of the administration; are really crimes that should be extraditable, is proving a source of great irritation- in the effort which the government of the United States is making to break up revolu tionary activity along the Mexican-Texas boundary. This, coupled with the difficulty in detecting and proving violations of the neutrality laws, makes it dillicult to convince fhe Mexicans of the sincerity of this government in its expressed de termination to punish the guilty, and this notwithstanding every possible bit of machinery at the disposal of the gov ernment is working to a common end. On his recent trip to Oyster Day, Am bassador Creel talked over the whole subject of the border trouble with Presi dent Hooscvelt, who manifested a lively interest and who is determined to put an end to the mischief making as far as lies in the government's power. The President, it is understood, fav ors, if necessary; the employment of spe cial counsel who may apply themselves to the question of neutrality violations and extradition, so that the law may be fulyy enforced. Officials contend tnere is no reason why persons on this side of the border, who foment revolutionary movements and cross into Mexico to en gage in raids and other operations of a criminal character, and then seek safety from arrest in this country, should have any exemption from extradition on the alleged ground that there acts were polit ical. On the contrary, the official view in that' they i should be extradited as felons. v CAPTAIN BALDWIN, M Zr " t f vl m Wfsl' !:A Jpf i' If- r Xmff J: i in s m Ne JjfT&AA ' PinTIIM n.inl!l'P ' . -mftwm; .

Pnissv. twenty miles from Paris. Mr. Sands was driving his fifty horse power car along at a terrific clip, in a desire to reach the chateau, where Mrs. Sands and her infant daughter were staying. He had always been known as a reckless driver, and, as he had been de layed at railroad crossings, he opened the throttle wide as he approached the trrounds. Almost immediately a tire j burst and tho machine crashed into a tree, turning turtle and burying Mr. I Sands under the forward part and pin Ining the chauffeur, . l'ickens, to the ground. An explosion followed and in a moment the car was in Humes. Peasants working in the adjoining fields n were the only witnesses to tho accident. They rushed to. the rescue, but fenring a 'further explosion of the gasoline tank, and deterred by the sweep of flames, they stood idly by, not know ing how to give assistance to the injured men. Finally they managed to raise the rear of the car and release the chauf feur, both of whose feet had been held tight, and a little Inter after beating down the (ire thev dramfd out the torn, bleeding and burned body of Sands. Help soon arrived from tlie chateau, which Is in the center of Mr. Vanderbilt's great breeding farm. The injured men were carried to the house, there it was found that Sands was beyond the hopo of recovery, but that -the .chauffeur was not seriously injured. The servants, fearing tho effect on Mrs. Sands, concealed from her the gravity of tho accident and persuaded her not to enter the room where her dying hus band had been placed. A doctor summoned from Poissy arrived soon afterwards, but Mr. Sands was beyond mortal aid. Never had be aeon, tha doctor said, such a pitiful human wreck.
