POLICE BDABD TO
OH CHIEF IN
VIGEJAR
Beavers. After Lively Debate,
Is Commended Formally for
Wiping Out Tenderloin.
The police commission will back up
Chief Beavers in his war on vice.
she commission last night voted
unanimously to “commend the chief for
his courage and bravery, and pledged
tn him its hearty support In the en
forcement of law.” This action fol
lowed a lively debate as to the neces
sity of any action at all by the com
mission, some of the commissioners de
claring the chief had merely done his
duty and that it was not essential that
the commission formally commend him
every time he does his duty.
Mayor Winn, Commissioners B. Lee
Smith, Vernoy, Johnson, Garner and
McEeachern all insisted, however, that
“it is up to the commission” to form
ally stand by the chief In a matter
like the closing of the tenderloin. . On
motion of Mayor Winn, the commission
went on record as backing the chief.
Commissioner Johnson created a stir
by urging that all laws be enforced and
suggesting that the police stop women
from visiting locker clubs.
"We should enforce all laws, or wipe
them off of the statute books,” asserted
Mr. Johnson.
Some of the commissioners disagreed
with Mr. Johnson, however, remarking
that there is no necessity of digging
wp a lot of obsolete “blue” laws for
enforcement, such as the stopping of
trolley cars and closing of soda founts
on Sunday.
‘1 am certainty opposed to the en
forcement of any blue laws,” said
Chairman Carlos Mason.
No action was taken on Mr. John
ston's suggestion.
Fallowing a suggestion by Commis
rfrmer Smith, Chief Beavers today will
station plain clothes officers in White
hall and Peachtree streets to rout
mashers, who, the commissioner said,
are a menace to school girls and other
young women.

ON ‘OLD BALD’S’ TOP
ELLIJAY. GA., Oct. 9—Charley Tip
ton. a noted moonshiner of the north
Georgia mountains, is dead. A cor
oner s jury has been unable to clear
up the mystery of Just when and bv
whom he was killed. The general im
pression here is that Tipton. who was
known as a desperate character, was
shot to death by mountain clansmen
who had some hidden grievance against
him.
Tipton was famous in this section
for his exploits as a moonshiner He
had been frequently arrested by rev
enue officers for illicit distilling.'
News of Tipton’s death was brought
here from the Bald mountain section,
in a remote part of Fannin county.
Children in that region by accident
found his dead body on top of the
mountain. He apparently had been dead
several days. He was shot to death
while sitting on a log, there being
two bullet holes through his body. His
coat was found lying on the log be
side the body
Tipton was a man of unusual size and
strength. He weighed more than 300
pounds, and the rough life he led de
veloped unusual strength.

Democrats Are Knocking Home
Runs Every Time They Come
to Bat, Says Governor.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL., Oct. 9.
"Woodrow Wilson day” at the state
fair brought out a crowd estimated al
35,000. It was a veritable ovation
Springfield and state Democracy hau
made elaborate plans for the govern
or’s reception when he arrived early to
day from Kansas City. Two meetings
took place, one at 10:30 o’clock in court
house square, and the other in the Col
iseum at the fair grounds at noon. The
Coliseum seats 10,000, but long before
the hour .for Governor Wilson’s arrival
It was filled. Among other speakers
and leading Democrats present were
Edward S. Dunn. Democratic candidate
for governor; Speaker Champ Clark,
former Governors Francis. Folk and
Stevens, all of Missouri, and Charles
Boeschenstein, Illinois Democratic na
tional committeeman.
The governor got a big reception
when he was introduced. He said that
he ought to apologize for conducting a
campaign while the world's series of
baseball is being contested.
Interested in November Score.
"But, while 1 am interested in the
series from day io day.” he said. “I am
more interested in what the score will
be on November 5. The Democrats are
getting on to Roosevelt's curves and
are knocking out home runs every time
they go to bat.”
This sally provoked a great deal of
mirth. He then continued to discuss
the tariff and the trusts. The crowd
was responsive and applauded all the
telling points.
“When gentlemen proposing to legal
ize monopoly propose to speak in the
name of Lincoln it is as if those who
Intended to perpetuate human slavery
should have dared to speak in the name
of the great emancipator.” said the
governor. “We are going to repudiate
this slavery just as emphatically as we
repudiate the other and we are not go
ing to look to the gentlemen who estab
lished that slavery in order to accom
plish that liberty. We know the voice—
the voice is the voice of Esau, though
the touch may be the touch of Jacob—
but we are not going to be touched. We
have grown a little too familiar with
the eccentric orbit of the gentlemen
who are trying to swing into the course
of the people to be misled. We know
where the fixed constellations are and
we are going to follow the old star of
liberty."
CHAS. TAFT GIVE
5215,000.00 TD
1812 FIGHT
Tells Clapp Committee He Gave
$238,000 in 1908, Though
$150,000 Was Refunded.
WASHINGTON. Oct. -S—Charles P.
Taft, brother of President Taft, took
the stand before the Clapp committee
this afternoon and testified that he
contributed $238,000 to the Republican
campaign fund in 1908 when his broth
er was the nominee; $150,000 of this
being returned to him. His contribu
tion. therefore, was actually SBB,OOO.
He then testified that he gave $215.-
000 to the pre-eonvention campaign of
his brother in Ohio this year.
Ex-Senator Nathan B. Scott, of West
Virginia, admitted this morning- that he
had asked his representative to appeal
to the Standard Oil In 1904 for money.
He told about this as follows:
"In October, 1904. I asked Mr. Flinn,
when we were short of funds, if he
could not go to No. 26 Broadway (the
Standard Oil office) and get a contribu
tion. He said that he could not, be
cause he already had a liberal contri
bution from those people, and he did
not believe in riding a willing horse
too often. I asked him what he had
obtained and he said $100,000.”
Senator Clapp questioned the wit
ness.
Q. Do you recall how much you re
ceived from the national * committee
for W .’st Virginia last year?
A. As near as I can recall it, it was
$65,000.
Q. What do you know of the Har
riman fund in 1904?
A. I must tell this as I recall it. I
was in the national headquarters in
New York one day when 1 was told by
the woman on the telephone switch
board that the white house wanted to
speak to Mr. Bliss, or Mr Cortelyou.
They were both out and she put me on
the wire.
Q. First tell the committee who was
on the wire at the white house.
A. 1 must repeat the conversation
as it occurred and the committee must
then judge- for itself. The voice at the
other end inquired: “Who is this?” 1
said: “Scott.”
Wanted to Know about Higgins.
“ 'What seems to be the trouble
about Higgins—l hear that he is liable
to be beaten?’ said the white house. I
replied that if the election was now I
feared he would be defeated. There
seemed to b eno responsiveness among
the people. The voice asked me what
the trouble was. I replied that the
committee was without funds to con
tinue the fight.
“‘Can’t Bliss remedy that?' was
asked.
"I explained that he had no extra
funds.
‘‘‘Can't the state committee do any
thing?’
“I replied that the understanding was
that the national committee would con
tribute to the state fund, but it was
unable to do so.”
Here Mr. Scott, who had evidently
resolved to identify Mr. Roosevelt
without mentioning his name, inad
vertently said:
"The president said: 'I would rather
lose the election at large than to be
defeated in my own state.’ I said:
‘There is no danger of your being de
feated in your own state: but there
is danger of Higgins being defeated. If
the fund is furnished the state com
mittee to carry out its plans, I have no
doubt that we can elect Higgins.'
“The president replied: 'I will send
for Harriman’ or 'Harriman is coming
down here.’ I don't remember which
he said. He added:
Would See About Fund.
“ I will see if we can raise a fund
for the election of Higgins.' ’’
Scott added that Bliss told him three
weeks before the election that Roose
velt wanted no contribution from "26
Broadway."
Mr. Scott said that the conversation
over the telephone at the white house
was about October 5 or 6.
Senator Paynter:
Q. Do you know with whom you
talked at the white house?
A. I believe it was President Roose
velt.
Q. Did you know that H. C. Frick
had contributed to the fund?
A. I did not. I had no knowledge of
the contributors or their gifts.
"When Mr. Perkins was sued, or In
dicted. or something, I went to the
white house and told the president that
we ought to reimburse Perkins, and
that I was willing to come In on a
fund. But the president said no; that
if Perkins was to be reimbursed the
party, not individuals, should do It.
Lovett on Harriman Fund.
Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of
the executive committees of the Union
Pacific and Suothern Pacific railroads,
with offices at 165 Broadway, New
York city, told the committee that dur
ing the late years of Harriman's life
he (Lovett) was general counsel for
the Union Pacific and for n year before
the railroad king’s death he was his
personal attorney.
When asked by Bonator Clapp what
he knew about the Harriman fund, he
replied:
"I knew of Mr. Harriman’s visit to
Washington late In October Upon his
return he said that the national com
mittee was very short of funds and
owed the state committee $206,000. lie
said: 'We are in a hole. The president
wants me to help them out, and I have
got to do it.’
"Soon after Mr. Harriman sent for
me and gave me some checks and cash,
saying that Mr. Bliss would come In
later in the day. He asked me to give
him the money, as he was going away.
The aggregate amount was $250,000.
i The checks wore made out to Mr. Bliss,
but I can’t remember when he signed
them. Mr Bliss called late that after-
noon and I gave him the money. He
offered me a receipt, but I declined it,
saying that he could send that to con
tributors. That’s all that occurred.”
W. K. Vanderbilt a Donor.
Judge Lovett added that less than
$50,000 was in currency. He could re
call the names of none of the men who
drew the checks. He stated merely as
his recollection when asked by the
chairman that there was a Harriman
check for $50,000. He did not recall
one from H. McK. Twombley nor from
J. Pierpont Morgan.
"As to the brokerage checks," he said,
“they could not be identified. That’s
why they were sent in this way.”
Senator Clapp insisted on thb wit
ness giving the name's which he thought
was on the other checks besides Harri
man’s. Under protest, Judge Lovett
said one name was that of W. K. Van
derbilt.
Lovett then substantiated Senator
Scott’s testimony that Roosevelt has
asked Harriman to raise $250,000 for
the use of the state committee and that
.he had done so.
“The money sent to Mr. BUS'S was
this fund,” concluded the witness. “I
was very'close to Mr. Harriman and he
often told me of this.”
Called to White House.
Judge Lovett denied knowledge of
any 1904 contributions except the Har
riman fund. He producer! a pamphlet
containing the "Sydney Webster letter”
and a number of reprints of statements
from President Roosevelt and E. H.
Harriman. all of them relating to the
1904 contributions and the Harriman

the suffering public should be thankful
that such a grand remedy is within
their reach.
It would be a very difficult thing to
thoroughly and minutely describe all
the distresses that were endured by
Mr. Backus. He often had such pains
In his stomach that he would be in an
agony from which it was hard to re
cover. His stomach would bloat fear
fully. He was at times so nauseated
at the sight of foods that he could not
eat. He kept getting weaker and
weaker. He was tn a miserable condi

In his trials for relief, and many dif

got in the way of results was a little
temporary relief, of this he finally
tired, and made up his mind to make
one more effort in his endeavors to rind
