First Nominee For President Address of Notifica tion Made by Senator Warner of Missouri Speech of Judge Bronv well at Unfurling of Flag on the Taft Residence. Cincinnati, July 2S. Tills Is a mem orable day In Cincinnati, on occasion of the notification of William H. Taft by the committee of the Chicago con vention of his nomination for the pres Idoncy. The day had been made a public holiday and all classes of citi zens united In dolus; honor to the nominee. . . At seven o'clock In the morning there were salutes of twenty guns or. more fired from these four hilltops Price hill, Mt. Adams, Mt. Lookout and Kairvlew Heights, as a Welcome to Cincinnati's first candidate for the presidency. At 8 o'clock bands stationed In the parks, squares and at prominent cor ners began to make melody and kept at It all day. At 10 o'clock a flag was presented by the city of Cincinnati to Charles P. Taft, brother of the nominee, to be unfurled over the Taft residence on Pike street. This presentation was made ai the Taft residence, tho lawn of which, exclusive of walk and driveway, was covered with an Im mense platform. At 11 o'clock the notification com mittee was escorted to the Taft resi dence and, on the temporary platform, Judge Taft heard the formal word that he Is the Republican party's choice for president. There were but two speechesthat of Senator Warner of Missouri, notifying Mr. Taft, and that of acceptance by the nominee. Judge J. H. Bromwell of Cincinnati, In presenting the flag to Mr. Charles P. Taft, just prior to the notification ceremonies, spoke as follows: Fellow Citizens: A distinguished honor has been conferred upon our city by the selection of one of our towns men for nomination to the greatest office on the fece of the earth, the presidency of the United Slates. In appreciation of this high compli ment, and as a special tribute of our regard and respect for our neighbor and fellow citizen upon whom this honor has been bestowed, we have set apart this day to rest from our usual vocations and to celebrate an event unique In the history of our city. Ohio the Mother of Presidents. Ohio, the mother of presidents, has furnished other great and able men to All the office of chief executive of our nation, but on this occasion our own fair city offers, for the first time, one of its sons for that high station. This demonstration is In no sense partisan or political. For the time be ing we lay aside party lines and Ig nore national platforms. We are here as citizens of Cincinnati and as friends, neighbors and admirers of William Howard Taft. It would be unbecoming under such circumstances to enter upon any eulogism, however brief, of his ability or his fitness for the high office for which he has been named. That will come later, in the great battle of ora tory and argument which Is to follow the exercises of this day. How appropriate, then that the for mal ceremonies of this occasion should be opened by the function of raising the flag, in which all may freely par ticipate without sacrifice of party af filiations or political tenets. For the American flag belongs not, exclusively, to any man or body of men; not to any political party, re ligious sect or social organization. It Is the priceless heritage handed down by heroic ancestors to all the nation and to every one of Its people. It Is to us an emblem of the unity of our government and the wonderful progress and development It has made in the brief space of little more than a century. It has been hem aloft In the front rank of that steady, forward march which has transferred us from a hand ful of scattered colonies with rival in terests and little in common, save their need of protection from aggres sion by foreign powers, into a world power, the equal of any on earth, with a common purpose and a single In terest. Every great national achievement, whether in war or peace, has been wrought under Its beautiful folds, which ever have been, and ever will be, the glorious emblem of civil and religious liberty. It was with Washington at York- town, with Perry on Lake Erie and with Jackson at New Orleans; it was with Scott and Taylor In Mexico, with Grant at Apponiatox and with Dewey at Manilla, and jvith Sampson and Schley at Santiago. It saw (he birth of the nation In tho Revolutionary war; its redemption from unjust aggression In the war of 1812; the filling up and rounding out of our territory in the war with Mex ico; the emancipation of a race and the unification of our republic In the civil war; and the release from tyran ny of the Islands of the Sea In ihe war with Spain. Never Trailed In Dust of Dishonor. In every contest submitted to the arbitrament of the sword It has waved over victorious armies and unconquer able navies. It has never been trailed In the dusi of dishonor nor Iwored In the shame of defeat. Not alone in the bloody strife of battle has It led triumphant hosts to victory. It has floated above the great industrial army of development and civilization which has swept over our country from ocean to ocean and joined the Orient and the Occ'dnt; Which has crossed mountains mid plowed prairie, felled the forests, built school houses and churches, dug Into the earth for Its precious stores of mineral wealth and opened up the nat ural resources of a country. blessed be yond all others by divine providence; it. has been raised In the regions cl perpetual ice, In the glaciers of Alas ka and beneath tho tropical sun ol Porto lllco and the Philippines. Be neath it continents are being cut in twain for the commercial traffic ol the world. It floats over your school yards, an ever present object lesson in patriot ism to the generation to follow us; over your public edifices as a constant reminder that to be entitled to the blessings which it typifies we must ever hold public office to be a public trust; and In and over your churches to remind you that while church and state shall ever he held separate and apart, every proper religion shall have its protection without partiality or dls crimination. Webster's Hope More Than Fulfilled. The hope of Webster has been more than fulfilled, for Its thirteen stripes ot red and white and Its stars set in its azure field are not only still high ad vanced, with not a stripe erased or polluted or a single star obscured, but is field of blue has filled with new stars, as each succeeding state became a part of the Union, until the little constellation upon which Webster gaz ed has become a galuxy. ' Otboj' ajrV yet to be added, as the wards '.dr' the "nation now In tutelage shall become worthy of self-government; and among them some day shall come another star to take Its place to represent a state In our dis tant Asiatic possessions, and no name will be more honored In the ceremo nies of that day than that of the first governor of the Philippines, our own citizen and neighbor. From this day until the people ex press their choice at the ballot box In November this spot will be visited by many distinguished Americans. II will be the Mecca to which hundreds will make their pilgrimage to pay their respects to their great party leader. It has been thought by the good citi zens of this city that It would be em inently proper that, upon this spot, which will todav become historical, the glorious emblem of our country shall be raised to greet the eyes and welcome the steps of these, our com ing guests and visitors. To you, Mr. Charles P. Taft, as the representative of your distinguished brother. Is entrusted this loving tribute of your and his neighbors nnd fellow citizens, that It may float on high on every proper occasion to do honor to one who has made a record which will reflect luster upon himself and this, his home city, and who, If se lected by the American people as their president, will prove a worthy suc cessor to his predecessors in that ex alted station; so that In days to come, when our youth shall read the history of their country, one of the names which shall go down into its annals as representative of the highest type of official character and devotion to public duty will be that of William Howard Taft. GREAT SHOWING BY YANKEE ATHLETES, Scored 114 1-2 Points to 66 1-3 by Great Britain and Irelai i. Oyster Bay, July 28. When the president received his telegrams and mail he found a cablegram from the United States commissioner at the Olympic games In London Informing him of the splendid showing of the American participants in the contests. The message was as follows "London, July 23, 1908. "Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Oyster Bay, N. Y. "In the athletic section of the Olym pic games of lflf8 representing the world's championship track and field, the athletes representing the United States won fifteen first prizes out of a possible twenty-seven, scoring more firsts than the athletes of the entire world.

Three Members ot Pennsylvania National Guard Killed. Standard Oil Fine Reversed Mayflow er Sank Schooner Quebec's Ter centenary Governor Hughes Will Accept America Wins New York to Parle Race Remorse Drew Him to Scene of Crime. On the eve of their departure for their homes three men of the Pennsyl vania National Guard were struck dead in one of the most severe elec trical storms ever experienced on the historical battlefield of Gettysburg about 10 o'clock Thursday night. The dead are: Private Bnrbe, Eighteenth regiment. Private Morrison, Tenth regiment. Private Carver, Eighteenth regi ment. When the storm came up Governor Stuart was entertaining a few friends in his tent. The storm broke with such suddenness and fury that the oc cupants of the tent were entangled in the canvas and ropes but all escaped serious Injury. There were nearly fifty men in the regimental guard tent of the Tenth regiment when the storm broke and not one is believed to have escaped in Jury. The men of the Second brigade, whose tents were pitched In the low land, were forced to swim to snfety. When the storm swept down upon the camp there were hundreds of vis itors present. Scores of men and wo men sought shelter In the V. M. C. A. tent. This Immense sheet of canvas was tossed like a toy balloon In a gale of wind, but strangely enough not one person was injured. The greatest excitement prevailed and many troopers who were Injured could be located only by their cries for assistance, all the lights in the camp having been extinguished by the terrific wind. Standard Oil Fine Reversed. Following the unanimous decision on Wednesduy of Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Buker, composing the United States circuit court of ap peals, reversing aud remanding the case of the government against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, in which case Judge Landis in the dis trict court hud imposed a fine of f 29, 240,000, the federal attorneys an nounced that the government had thirty days within which to file a pe tition for a rehearing, and that it would be filed within the allotted per iod. In the case that was reversed the Standard Oil company of Indiana was found guilty of acceptlug rebates on shipments of oil from its refinery at Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, Ills. Judge Landis fined the compnny $20, 000 on each of 1,4(12 counts, each count representing a carload ship ment. The opinion of three judges of the higher court leaves little ot the con tention that each carload constituted a separate offense. Even the vari ous shipments, of which there were about 500, could not be considered as separate offenses under the ruling of the court of appeals. The fine should have been baaed up on settlements between the railroad and the oil company, the opinion holds. Of these there were just thlr- ty-slx. The maximum fine on this basis would amount to $720,000, and the minimum $.16,000. It Is said that $223,000 is the total amount which the Standard Oil com pany Is alleged to have received as rebates on the shipments In question. In the event that a rehearing Is de nied the government may go to trial on the original indictment containing 1,462 counts. Such an action District Attorney Sims could be ready to take within two weeks. There are also seven other indictments, containing 4,422 counts. Another move which may be made by the federal attorneys Is to trans fer the prosecution from this Jurisdic tion either to the Western New York district or to the Eastern Tennessee court. In these two districts, the gov ernment Investigation led to Indict ments containing about 2,000 counts against the Standard Oil company. Five Cars With Perfect Scores.
