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. a i s X C A l *!/ instant Poston ‘ ’• ’ ilirk I ■- 5 III!A r I / • I PcsTiiin / | •Serem. j / P <Mtuß> Umltol j n Three Good Pals Breakfast time should be the ‘‘curtain raiser” of a happy day.

The story is one that appeals to all classes of theater goers and elicits sympathy at once. The company, headed by Miss Blanche Shirlev, is In every way a capable one. The fa mous quartet which has always been a feature of “Way Down East” is much in evidence and their singing is realiv de lightful. "THE CALL OF THE HEART” IS NEXT ATTRACTION AT LYRIC The attraction at the Lyric next week will be Lets Vance s daring drama of to day, “The Call of the Heart.” Probably there is not a theme more vital to Ameri can womanhood than that of international marriage, and to see this startling play, with its skillfully developed situation, its powerful climaxes and its throbbing love story, will be worth while. “THE QUAKER GIRL” IS PLEASING CROWDS AT ATLANTA “The Quaker Girl,” the delightful Eng lish musical play, which Is at the Atlanta theater for this wfcek. with matinees to day and Saturday, is the collaborated work of Lionel Monckton, Adrian Ross, Percy Greenbank and .lames T.

ON TO COLONEL'S! ■ESJILSON 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.

It would be a very difficult thing to thoroughly and minutely describe all the distresses that were endured by Mr. Backus.

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 tion. Money was spent by Mr. Backus In his trials for relief, and many dif ferent remedies were used, but all he 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 a cure.
