PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOUNDED TODAY

Secretary Taft at Notification Exercises Tells the Things Which G. 0. P. Will Stand For This Campaign. CINCINNATI EN FETE FOR THE BIG EVENT. Thousands of People From All Parts of the Country Gathered in Town on Ohio to Attend Ceremonies. SENATOR WARNER SPEAKS. TELL3 TAFT THAT HE WAS THE MAN WHO WAS CHOSEN TO BEAR STANDARD AT RECENT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. TAFT'S RESPONSE TIMELY. Says That He Fully Realizes the Obligations Which Have Been Placed Upon Him and Which Must Be Met. Cincinnati, O., July 28. The Republican campaign was formally opened today with the notification ceremonies officially apprising Wm. H. Taft of the result of the Chicago convention. It was more like a Fourth of July than notification day. Cannon boomed, flags fluttered and parades swept : through the streets with plenty of martial and stirring music. There ;wre speeches and bunting, and in fact nothing was lacking to make it jthe big event In the history of Cincinnati. In his speech this afternoon Taft outlined the policies and touched on the vital questions involved In the ; campaign. The big residence of Charles R. Taft this morning resembled the annex to a curio pavilion. A great stand had been built and the lawn was thrown open to the public. It was whispered that Mr. Taft has already ordered a carload of sod in anticipation of what his lawn will look like in the morning. This evening there will bo fireworks and Mr. Taft will witness the display. He will leave with his family tomorrow for Hot Springs, and Cincinnati may get back "into its accustomed groove of calmness. The crowds began to arrive early. The excursion trains brought many strangers to the city and by sun up the Taft mansion was the cynosure of quite a few strange eyes. Those folks who looked aloft saw a flag fluttering from thepcak of a flagstaff in the front yard. It was learned that in , the future the flag will be used to in- ' dicate the presence of Mr. Taft. When he is at home the flag will be flung aloft no matter whether it is rain or shine. Senator Warner was on hand with Ms notification speech eagerly waiting the hour to deliver it. The crowds began to get impatient, but they loosened their nerve by cheering and watching the marching clubs. Many, many times did Mr. Taft. cool, serene, smiling and stout, make his appearance on the piazza to bow to the sweltering, shouting populace. Many politicians called today, and It was announced after the morning conferences that the Ohio muddle Is a thing of the past. This was not announced officially, but was told plainly. This question has been worrying Mr. Taft quite a little, so now he can po back to Hot Springs and golf, resting easy. Political Jubilee. The official notification combined a political jubilee fo rthe city of Cin cinnati and its environs, a historical gathering of the national party leaders, and an occasion for the announcement by the candidate of his political tenets. The notification day broke through h customary haze and smoke to disrover the city in the flutter of the liveliest animation. The notification ceremonies at the historic Taft manlion in Pike street, were led up to by tnlnor displays in the program of the pay. The name of "Taft" was on every' Hp. and the "Taft smile" was commented on as being universally in evidence. It was half after nine o'clock when the crowds began to participate in the exercises. This constituted of simple expressions of neighborly affection. Chas. P. Taft was made custodian of ci huge American flag which was raised to the top of a slaty foot mast erected in the front yard of the Taft mansion a gift of the people of Cincinnati to the Taft family. The presentation was made by Bishop David H. Moore, with, an address by former ConContinued, on Page Nine.)

Fell in a bed of tar and had to be chopped out. That's the experience that befell well never mind what his name is. If it was published there would probably be move work for the hospital people. Last evening the party in question shipped such a heavy cargo of fire water that some of it would ooze out his ears whenever he lurched. In this condition he rambled up the alley in the rear of the Westcott hotel until he was opposite the rear entrance of the Richmond Dry Cleaning company. At that point was located the tar bed which caused all the trouble. The drunk tripp&d over said bed COUNTY FAIR BEGAN TODAY Hundreds of People Were at Hagerstown, Many Being From Richmond.

Judge Glances at Sheath Gown; "Indecent? No! Greatf He Says

Muncie. Ind., July "Now, that doesn't look so bad, does it?" asked' Miss Isabelle Turner of Justice Pierce. The pretty young actress was arrested for appearing on the streets in a directoire gown, and as she asked the question she exhibited a pretty calf and ankle through the slit in the garment. Justice fierce was hearing the case against the actress, and, of course, was unable to express an opinion, btit the fact that he acquitted her of the charge of public indecency was proof that he thought it did not "look bad." The courtroom of Justice Pierce was not large enough to accommodate the crowd when Miss Turner's trial was called this morning. A number of business men who lad witnessed her ramble on Walnut street last Saturday volunteered to testify in her behalf.

While our hero slumbered the tar cooled and this morning when Rollo awoke from his trance he was much mortified and alarmed to find he was encased by a hard layer of tar. His sobs and yelps soon aroused an employee of the cleaning company, who, after suppressing his mirth at the spectacle which greeted his astonished eyes, fell upon the tar with a hatchet and in a few minutes had our hero rescued.

NEGRO ASSAULTER NED AT STAKE Two Thousand People Cheer As Man Writhes. Dallas, Texas, July 2S. Ted Smith a negro was burned at the stake at Greenville at noon today for assaulting a sixteen year old white girl. Two thousand citizens participated in the burning and cheered as the man writhed in agony. However, a few witnesses were heard. Joe McCloskey, who filed the affidavit that resulted in her arrest, did not appear. His friends had made it so unpleasant for him that he was ashamed 'to press the charge in open court. Miss Turner was very indignant and used very plain language on the witness stand. She scored Dr. Clark Crawford of the High Street M. E. church. Dr. B. M. Nice of the First Presbyterian, and the Rev. Charles E. Watklns of the Seventeenth Street Baptist church for the part they took in the matter. The ministers appealed to Mayor Guthrie. The latter threatened to revoke the license of the Majestic theater, where Miss Turner is playing. After the trial Justice Pierce said: "The directoire gown Is modest In comparison to some of the Eights jau see on any rainy djr."

was in an uproar as he mounted the steps leading to the platform. He took no notice of the demonstration but after remaining on the rostrum for about three minutes in consultation with the secretary of the convention, descended into the body of the hall taking a seat with the New York delegation. His action was a signal for renewed cheering and the delegates shouting "Hearst, Hearst, Hearst," immediately started on a parade around the hall, chanting continuously name of the New York editor. the The parade continued for several minutes before quiet was restored. It was 35 minutes past the scheduled time when Milton W. Howard, of Alabama took the gavel and introduced Charles A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the provisional national committee who read the call for the convention. Father O'Callahan, of Chicago, delivered the invocation. Mr. Howard at the conclusion of the invocation announced the names of the temporary officers of the convention.

When quiet had been restored he began his address as temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. Hearst delivered his address with intense earnestness, driving home his points in an emphatic manner that carried the convention with him from the start to the close of his address.

WAS SEVERELY INJURED. ACCIDENT OCCURRED UNDER THE MAIN STREET BRIDGE WHERE CABLE SWINGS HAD BEEN PLACED BOY WILL RECOVER. Either through pure malice on the I art of boys, who cared not for the risk they took on the lives of companions, or with less probability through lure accident, Ernest Moore, aged sixteen, was precipitated a distance of fifty feet through the air, alighting on the ground beneath the Main street bridge yesterday afternoon. Young Moore is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Moore, 303 Pearl street. Astride a board thrust through a loop in a cable swing he launched himself into the air. He passed up and out into the air, when the board broke, and unable to retain his position merely by his hands and not expecting the sudden jerk, he was hurled out into space and fell with terrific momentum to the ground. Spectators expected his death to be instantaneous, but he alighted face downward Mid physicians state he is not hurt seriously. For some time boys have maintained the swing under the bridge and it has provided them with great sport. The element of danger adds to the enthusiasm which the youngsters display as they accept the risk. For two or three vears there have bf?en swings of the ous nature. Boys, who examined the board after it gave way with Moore, declared there was evidence that it had been whittled. Where the cable passed around the board the friction had worn a deep groove and the two together weakened the board. The Moore boy is of good size and weight for his years and he is believed to have been too much for the board to support. Some of the excited boys, who saw the fall j yesterday, claimed the board had been , whittled for the purpose of causing an accident. There was a shout of terror from companions who saw young Moore shoot forward into the air. He fell with great force and struck the ground beneath upon his stomach and shoulders. When picked up he was unconscious and remained in that condition for about an hour. He was bleeding from the face and mouth and it was feared at the time he had been injured internally. No bones were broken, but the bruises and severe Jolt to his system will keep him In bed for several days. The boy was. removed to the hospital and given attention as (Continued on Page Nine.)

Lover Forsakes Woman When the Irate Husband Arriveson Scene

"You get out of that rig and be d m quick doing it." Livid with anger and holding a large cobble stone in each hand a farmer named, it is understood, Arntin, yelled this command to an unknown man who sat in a phaeton by the side of Mrs. Arntin. This was the most melodramatic spectacle in a little domestic sketch entitled "The Erring Wife, or Caught in the Act." It was pulled off on North Tenth street, opposite the Westcott hotel, yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. It was witnessed by a small but very much astonished crowd. Who the man In the phaeton was is not known he made his exit too quickly after being ordered to disembark from the travel-stained phaeton. So kaleidoscopic were the events in this little domestic tragedy that when everything was over the onlookers had to pinch themselves to make certain they were net dreaming. The sketch started in this manner. Just as the phaeton containing Mrs. Arntin. the unknown man and some empty chicken coops, strapped on behind, rounded the corner of Tenth and Main streets there was a rattl of hoof a-and

VICE CHAIRMAN SEES VICTORY George Dinwiddie of Frankfort Predicts Republican Majority in Indiana. TAFT WILL SWEEP STATE. CLAIMED THAT OHIOAN WILL CARRY INDIANA BY AS LARGE A MAJORITY AS DID PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. George Dinwiddie, of Frankfort, Ind., republican vice chairman of the state, fails to see how even the most radical democrat can muster up enough nerve to claim a democratic victory in this state or to place In diana on the doubtful list. Mr. and Mrs. Dihwiddie arrived in the city last evening in their big touring car enroute to Dayton. They were the guests over night of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Ashley. Mr. Ashley is a democrat and last evening he drew for Mr. Dinwiddie such a luminous picture of a democratic victory in old Wayne that the vice chairman retired early with a sick headache. Early this morning he was around town to see if his host's tale would be verified. After questioning several people, Mr. Dinwiddie soon learned that Mr. Ash' ley had perpetrated a "bear" story. The Frankfort man said this morn ing before leaving for Dayton, that the state republicans would carry the country districts solidly and that the better element in the towns and cities would also support the republican ticket thus assuring a sturdy republi can majority. Taft Will Sweep State. As for the national ticket Mr. Din widdie predicts that Taft will sweep the state like a tidal wave and that his majority will be almost if not aa large as the one Indiana gave Roosevelt. He states that Taft is very pop ular with all classes. I understand that there is some feeling in Wayne county against Mr. Watson and that there is no particular reason for this opposition. However from what I have learned today, I will predict that Mr. Watson will receive a nice majority in this county. Wayne Is a rock-ribbed republican strong hold and I am confident that it will not go over to the enemy this time,' said Mr. Dinwiddle. The vice chairman searched high and low this morning for E. M. Haas republican district chairman, and final ly learned that his quarry had gone to Cincinnati to take part In the Taft celebration. YOUNG BRIDE DEAD. Drinks Poison, Mistaking It Brandy. For New York, July 2S. Mrs. Kather ine Kelley, the seven months' bride of a prominent jeweler, drank a cup of cyanide of potassium, mistaking it for brandy, and died almost Instantly at their home In Brooklyn today. a pursuing phaeton hove in sight. A very angry looking man vaulted out of this rig, grabbed two boulders and ran alongside the rig containing the fugatlves. Realizing that there would be something doing the innocent bystanders began to take notice. As Arntin made a threatening motion with the gobble stones and made his little "ten. twenty and thirty" speech the phaeton came to a sudden halt, Mrs. Arntin reached for the whip and in a perfectly composed voice said to the unknown at he? side "drive on in a hurry." Her words were wasted the unknown had fled. Aa he made his hurried departure the irate Mr. Arntin screamed after him "Yon will try to break np my home V then he climbed into the rig and seated himself by the side of his wife. Looking at her with cold fury he exclaimed "Now blankety-blank you. whip the horse." As the phaeton disappeared down Tenth street the bystanders looked around for the pursuing rig and for the fugative unknown. Both were conspicuous by their absence. "And she'll get all that's coming to her hummed a traveling man as he hurried into the hotel bar.

PLAN VIGOROUS

COUNTY

CAMPAIGN

Republicans Will Leave No Stones Unturned in Political Battle. CLUBS TO BE ORGANIZED. YOUNG MEN WILL BE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE BATTLE AND THEY WILL BE LEAGUED TOGETHER IN ORGANIZATION. Young men's republican clubs arevbe formed in each township of the county to cooperate with the local or ganization during the approaching campaign. At a meeting of the execu tive committer of the republican county central committee last evening. It was decided to promote interest among the young voters by means ot these organizations. It la heHev1 that there is a sufficient number of young republicans, or at lea6t men who regard themselves as young and claim allegiance to the republican party, to keep the clubs intact and at the same time make them aggressive1. A badge, button or other insignia will be adopted for the use of each member of the united clubs on the occasions of rallies or during marches. The executive committee believes everything in Wayne county will be favorable to the interests of the party and the same old time one sldedness will be shown when tho election re turns are received. It is expected the state committee will send some of Its best speaking material into this county just to show what is to be gained by a continuance of republicans in of fice. Indiana is to be a battle ground of three parties this year. The democrats and republicans will not fight It out alone, as the prohibitionists will concentrate their energies in the effort to line this state up for prohibition. The socialists have announced their Intention to make an aggressive campaign throughout the state. It is the belief of the executive com mittee that it is possible for republi cans to sing themselves into the hearts of their countrymen and also to influence votes. A glee club has been organized and assured of the support of the committee. The mem bers will not be uniformed but adopt wearing apparel that will bo distinc tive. The Glee club that assisted In the campaign four years ago rendared valuable service. There will be an abundance of drum corps" this season and practice has been taken up already by several ot these organizations. The committee's support will be accorded tho drum and bugle corps that is organized un der the auspices of the Young Men's Republican club of this city. A number of fife and drum outfits will be out for parades. One drum corps made its appearance on the street last evening. BUILDING BE 00NESEPTEMBER 1 Work on Y. M. C. A. Structure Progresses Rapidly. Work on the Y. M. C.

There is every reason to believe the building will be entirely completed liefore the first of September. . The third floor has now been finished and the fourth floor almost done, the roof not having yet been placed. All the furntiure for the building has been purchased of the Stlckley Brothers Furniture company. Grand Rapids. Mich. This la one of the beet known furniture manufacturing concerns in the world. The furniture, which is mission style, will not be shipped here until the building Is completed. But little work has been done toward a subscription to establish a Turkish bath in the Y. M. C. A. building, which work was to have been done by local business men, and it is probable that this feature will not be included.
