Bryan on Bank Guaranty Salooni
Closed In Atlantic City Fleet al
Melbourne Seven Tons of Bad
Eggs Seized New British Patent
Act Want Timetables Published.
With a ceremony In which the presi
dent of the United States took a
part the .Tordnnville public library was
presented to the people of that com
munity, the donors being Douglas
Robinson of Mohawk and New
York, MrB. Robinson and Harriet D.
Wolryche Whltmore, Mr. Robinson's
sister, who had erected it in memory
of Mr. Robinson's father and mother,
Douglas and Fannie Monroe Robinson.
President Roosevelt, personally in
terested In the dedication, his sister,
Mrs. Douglas Robinson, being one of
the donors, honored the occasion with
his presonce, and although he had or
iginally contemplated talking but
briefly, pleased his audience of inter
ested townspeople and dwellers in the
nearby countryside by making an ad
dress of some length.
Secretary of State Root afterwards
mad a brief speech and was follow
ed by James S. Sherman, who also
spoke briefly.
The library is a pretty building, B0
by 100 feet, with large dorlc columns
and steps extending across the entire
width in front. In the center Is a
large double doorway at the right of
which Is a bronze tablet bearing In
raised letters the following:
"Erected In memory of Douglas Rob
inson and Fannie Monroe Robinson by
Douglas Robinson, Corinne Roosevelt
Robinson, Harriet D. -Wolryche Whit
more." The cost of the building was $5,000.
There are 1,600 volumes of books at
present in (the library.
Bryan on Bank Guaranty.
Before an audience which filled
the Auditorium at Topeka, Kan., to
overflowing, William J. Bryan spoke
on the subject of guaranty of bank de
posits. Previously he had delivered
three other addresses, two from the
veranda of his hotel and the third at
Garfield Park, where he attended a
picnic by the Knights of Pythias.
Mr. Bryan, in view of the action of
the Kansas Republican state council
which endorsed the guaranty of bank
deposits, made some remarks supple
mentary to his prepared speech on
that subject. He asked why the de
posits Bhould be left unsecured when
the national government demanded Fe
curlty of any bank with which it de
posited money.
He pointed out that the choice was
between the postal savings bank and
the guaranty plan and accused Mr.
Taft of favoring an unnecessary exten
sion of the sphere of government In
advocating the postal savings bank
instead of the bank guaranty. Mr.
Bryan declared that he preferred the
guaranty bank proposition, which
would allow the banks to attend to
the banking business and yet compel
them to give their depositors neces
sary security.
Upon the conclusion of his prepared
speech, Mr. Bryan said:
"I asked .Mr. Breldenthal, a banker
of Kansas City, to make inquiry among
the bankers of Kansas and ascertain
what proportion of them favored the
guaranty law. I learned that of the
bankers that had expressed themselves
on this subject, about three-fourths of
them favored a guaranty law and one
fourth opposed it. Among the deposi
tors there fs no opposition at all.
"I also inquired of Governor Has
kell of Oklahoma in regard to the
number of national banks that have
surrendered their charters and be
come state banks In order to have
the benefits of the gunranty system.
I have a telegram from him saying
that four national banks have already
made the change and are operating
under the state bank laws, and that
sixteen other national banks have ap
plied for state charters. This Is con
clusive proof that the Oklahoma law
Is a success."
Saloons Closed In Atlantic City.
A blue Sunday came to Atlantic City.
Many persons familiar with the his
tory of tills far-famed resort have been
inclined to doubt the possibility of
such a thing, but every one of the 220
saloons and hotel bars were closed.
They were closed alike to bona fide
guests as well as to strangers. It was
said that tola was the fourth time in
the fifty-four years of its existence
that a drlnkless day had been experi
enced In Atlantic City. A bulletin
posted at police headquarters stated:
"Saloons all closed. No troops In
town."
Another bulletin, officially signed
by the chief of police, consisted of a
card on which was printed:
"In 1861 it was 'hold the fort'; to
day it Is Fort holds you."
Governor Fort's proclamation of last
week containing his threat to send
troops to the seashore in the event of
a further violation of the Sunday clos
ing law had its effect.
' Death of General A. P. Stewart
General Alexander P. Stewart, one
of the last surviving lieutenant gen
erals of the Confederate army, died
at his home in Riloxi, Miss., on Sun
day. Although in his 87th year and
iuffering from the Infirmities of old
ige, General Stewart's death came as
a shock to his relatives and friends.

It was more like a triumphant march
than a parade of visiting sailormen;
the ferver of the Australians' weicomi

New British Patent Act.
The year of grace granted to for
elgners under the new British pat
ent act has expired, and henceforth,
foreign patents In this country may b
revoked by Great Britain after a rea
sonable interval, unless the patentee
article Is manufactured or the patent
process Is operated In the United King
dom to an adequate extent.
A great number of foreign firms al
ready have taken sites and started
works in Great Britain; many others
are making arrangements to do so
These are mainly German and Amerl
can firms.
Sir Alfred Joneshead of a promin
ent firm of ship owners, estimates that
$125,000,000 will thus be Invested here
for the manufacture of articles former
ly manufactured abroad, and a prom
inent expert In patent law thinks that
no fewer than 8,000 patents granted
to foreigners will come under the new
law.
8even Tons of Bad Eggs Seized.
Seven and one-half tons of eggs
everyone of which Is alleged by thf
United States pure food inspectors
to be absolutely bad, have been held
at a Detroit (.Mich.) cold storagt
warehouse since July 26, pending ar
Investigation as to what use it was
intended to make of them.
It is claimed that the eggs were
gathered In an already spoiled condi
tlon, In the vicinity of Cincinnati, and
that they were shipped to Detroit tc
be used In the manufacture of fancy
cookies and crackers.
The seizure was made under the
pure food and drugs act, which pro
hibits the shipment from one state
to another of "foodstuffs which con
sist In whole or In part of a filthy, de
composed, or putrid animal sub
stance."
Paying For Springfield Riots.
Springfield officials will try to shift
upon the state of Illinois liability for
the damage incurred in the recent riot.
The state's responsibility will be as
serted upon the ground that when
troops were called for they were sent
to the scene of the rioting without am
munition and were restrained, under
orders, from charging the mob with
their bayonets.
As all the depredations were com
mitted after the state militia had tak
en charge of the situation, it is con
tended that the municipality was not
responsible.
State's Attorney Hatch expects an
other batch of Indictments against the
rioters. The inquisitorial body was
busy with the case of Frank Bryant,
alias Sullivan, who confessed to the
killing of Thomas Bray.

HISGEN
NOTIFIED
Accepts Nomination of Indepen
dence Party For President.
Candidate Declared It Was Necessary
to Organize a New Party In Order
to Bring About Needed Reforms.
With Direct Primary Party Bosa Dis
appears Initiative and Referendum
With Right to Recall Constitute
Purest Popular Government
New York, Sept. 1. There was not
room enough in the new clubhouse of
the Independence league to hold the
large crowd that gathered last night
for the dual purpose of being present
at the notification of Thomas L. His
gen, Independence party candidate for
president, and the housewarming of
'.he club. It had been the intention to
show the party leaders the new club
Duarters, but as every inch of room in
the modest little building in Waverly
place was occupied this was almost
Impossible, but the attempt was made
and this delayed the notification cere
monies to a late hour.
William R. Hearst and Mr. Hisgen
entered the clubhouse shortly after 9
o'clock and were greeted by an out
burst of cheering. Hisgen was en
thusiastically referred to as "the trust
buster" and "our next president."
These titles brought forth more cheer
ing. John T. Graves Unable to Attend.
Many inquiries were made for John
Temple Graves, the party's candidate
for vice president. It had been origin
ally planned to have Mr. Hisgen and
Mr. Graves notified at the same time,
but owing to the poor health of Graves
this plan was abandoned. He is at
Warm Sulphur Springs, in Virginia.
Henry A. Powell, chairman of the
notification committee, presided. He
said, In view of the signs of the times,
the new party was destined to be his
torical In the future of the city, state
and nation.
Mr. Powell told Mr. Hisgen that he
had been seleced as the standard
bearer of the new party and then there
was prolonged cheering when Mr. His
gen rose to reply, and it was several
minutes before the candldat could be
gin. He read his address.
After stating that he regarded his
nomination as a call to public service,
Thomas L. Hisgen, in his speech of
acceptance, went right into the main
Issues of the campaign and gave a
vigorous outline of the principles and
policies he stands for.
He declared it was necessary to or
ganize a new party to bring about
needed reforms, and so the Independ
enee party came into existence. The
candidate asserted that the present
division of the reform elements had
permitted the control of the govern
ment to slip from the hands of the
people' Into the hands of machine pol
iticians and party bosses, and he said
that to take control out of their hands
he advocated "direct nominations, the
initiative, the referendum and the re
call." The Direct Primary Necessary.
Mr. Hisgen said In part:
"The direct primary is spreading
rapidly through the states of the South
and the West. Wherever the direct
primary goes the party boss disap
pears. The party convention and its
dummy delegates are the bosses' tools.
Destroy them and the boss is power
less. "The right to initiate legislation and
when occasion arises, to pass upon
and reject legislation, is .the purest
popular government, and condemned
only by those who have lost faith in
the right and in the ability of the peo
ple to govern.
"Hand and hand with these meas
ures of popular government goes the
right of recall. When an official elect
ed for a term of years demonstrates
his unfitness or betrays the public
trust early in his term, there should
be a speedy and simple way of re
calling or getting rid of him.
"le believe, furthermore, that to
obtain genuine popular government
the corruption of money must be elim
inated, and I endorse our platform
declaration which not only calls for
full publicity of campaign contribu
tions, as do the platforms (but not
the, legislation) of the Republican and
Democratic parties, but which prohib
its, as they do not, the use of any
money in elections except for meet
ings, literature and the necessary trav
eling expenses of candidates.
"As a business man, it seems to me
to be a first essential to national pros
perity that there should be economical
and business-like conduct of public
affairs.
"No business man has more reason
than I to insist upon a strict enforce
ment of the law against oppressive
trusts and criminal monopolies, but
I would substitute conviction of crim
inals for reckless and disturbing
threats and denunciation. Further
more, I believe, as our platform de
clares, in Jail for the responsible of
fenders, Instead -of fines that are In
reality imposed upon stockholders or
collected from the consuming public.
"Our platform condemns the evil of
over-capitalization and demands as a
primary necessity for sounder business
conditions the enactment of laws, both
state and national, to prevent water
ing of stock, dishonest Issues of bonds
and other forms of corporation frauds,
I believe that stock watering and dis
honest financiering have been potent
factors In bringing on the country's
business troubles; I believe further
more that stock-watering has been
both the means and motive for the
launching of nlne-tentbs of the great
trusts.
"To another anxious body ol the
country's producing classes, the na
tion's worklngmen, the Independence
party's platform proposes definite,
plain and concrete measures, where
the old parties deal In attempts to
delude and mislead.
"Regulation of court rules and prac
tice, however desirable, falls far short
of being the goal for which labor has
been waging Its long struggle. Fair
wages, reasonable hours, sanitary con
ditions, safety appllcances, protection
from convict, pauper and Asiatic labor,
abolition of child labor, trial by jury
and prohibition of the 'black list' are
the objects for which worklngmen have
combined, and their protest is against
being, branded as outlaws because ol
having so combined.
"le believe in organization among
worklngmen, designed to increase the
effectiveness of human efTort and Im
prove the conditions of human life
and labor, and that such organization
should not be classed as In criminal
restraint of trade. I stand firmly on
the Independence party plank that
gives the American workingman the
American right of trial by Jury before
he shall be deprived of his liberty, and
that forbids the use of the writ of in
junction in labor disputes until after
a Jury trial upon the merits.
"When the Independence party's la
bor planks are compared with the Re
publican plank, which all agree Is a
fraud, or with the Democratic plank,
which requires a constitutional law
yer to expound, I do not believe that
any living man can deliver the work
ingman's vote either to Mr. Bryan oi
Mr. Taft."
He said he believed in a national
system of good roads to be built by na
tional aid to states and counties, and
also advocated the Immediate exten
sion of the parcels post, and con
tinued: "The gambling transactions of so
called cotton and produce exchanges,
involving the fictitious selling of farm
products for future delivery, are a
menace to great sections of our coun
try. Such transaction rob the farmei
and planter and unsettle Industries
and I sincerely support the demand
for the suppression of such bucketshop
methods and fictitious dealings.
"I declare that the power to Issue
money and control Its volume should
not be confided to Individuals or prl
vate corporations, but Is Inherent In
the government, and should be exer
clsed by the government, and that the
rational and sate way to put necessary
Increased Issues of money Into circula
tion Is through the medium of a cen
tral government bank.
Postal Savings Banks.
"A most valuable adjunct of such a
svstem will be the establishment ol
postal savings banks, which will draw
money out of hiding, make deposits
secure and furnish a great conven
ience to numerous localities not now
supplied with any banking facilities
"I confidently believe that the dec
laration of the Independence party foi
a gradual reduction of the tariff, with
Just consideration for the rights ol
the consuming public and of establish
ed Industry, will appeal more strongly
to businessmen and worklngmen than
the Republican demand for an extra
session and an Immediate general re
vision, calculated to alarm and throt
tie reviving business, or the Demo
cratlc demand for a tariff for revenue
only.
"1 warmly approve of our platform
declaration favoring the extension ol
public ownership as rapidly as the
government demonstrates ability to
conduct public utilities for the public
benefit. The railroads must be kenl
open to all unon exactly equal terms
Rebates and discriminations are
crimes and must be treated as such
"Expressing my cordial and earnest
support of every nlank In the careful
ly thought-out and statesmanlike plat
form unanimously adopted by the flrsl
national convention of the Tndepen
dence partv. T enter the campaign af
Its standard-bearer with a solemn ap
preciation of the duty that devolve
upon me."
Case Similar to Thaw's.
New York, Sept. 1. After a confer
ence with District Attorney Jerome
regarding the plan of prosecution tc
be adopted in the trial of Captain Pe
ter C. Halns, Jr., and T. Jenkins Mains,
charged with the killing of William E
Annls, District Attorney Darrln ol
Queens county said that he was going
to be governed largely In his prepara
tlon of the case by Mr. Jerome. He
would do this, he said, because of the
similarity of the case to that against
Harry K. Thaw, the prosecution ol
wilch Mr. Jerome directed. "I do nol
think there is a lawyer In the United
States better qualified than Mr. Jer
ome," said Mr. Darrln, "and I sha'l
take advantage of his aid."
Fitzgerald Hearing Again Postponed
Chicago, Sept. 1. Preliminary bean
ings of the case against George W.
Fitzgerald, charged with the theft of
$175,000 from the local sub-treasury,
were again postponed by Judge Chet
lain in the criminal court.' From
statements made by Assistant State's
Attorney James J. Barbour and
George M. Poppam, It now appears
probable that the federal authorities
may assume the prosecution of Fitz
gerald. The case was set for hearing
on Sept. 9.
