O., Sept. 8 In speech In the local theater here today. William How. ard Taft not only ridiculed Mr. Bryan'a claim to be the heir, or the father, of the Roassvelt pollctea, but delivered himself of an emphatic pledge, after analysing the most Important of these policies, saying "that If elected ho proposed to devote all the ability that la In me to the constructive wor kof Sugg-eating to congress the means by which the Roosevelt policies shall be cinched." Candidate Given Ovation. Surrounded on the stage of the local the ater by tbe Erie county committee and dis tinguished republicans, Mr. Taft delivered his first political speech of the day to a full-seated house having a capacity of 1,300. Mr. Taft got an oration when he came upon the stage. Representative Kelfer, the first speaker, in his address took a parting shot at Bryan by deolarlng, "Yes, the people rule every where except In those states of this union where democracy is completely dominant." It was the boast, he added, of Represents. tlve Clayton of Alabama, who presented Bryan's name to the democratic convention. "that In Alabama all of the blacks and 70 per cent of the white had been disfran chised." General H. C. Oorbtn followed with short exhortation In favor of political en ergy, after which former Governor Myron T. Herrlck spoke against a government guarantee of bank deposits. Mr. Herrlck said that Bryan's plan, for bank deposit guarantees was an economic fallacy, as illogical as the silver saheme-of 18; that it was simply a plan to tax the great body of bank depositors to make good the bad management or dlahptiesty of certain bankers. ' ' Confidence and Investments. Mr. -Taft, tn beginning his speech, re ferred to tha panic of last year. Confi dence, he said, was a plant of slow growth. The people of the country, farmer, laborer, cupltallst, were all in the same boat. Tho Investment of money was, he said, nect. cary for the return ef prosperity, and con . fldi'noe-was .ueccmpory. . - "And I want to say to the men and women of this country for I want to in terest, the women on these questions that the eleotion of Mr. Bryan wotilld ba menace to the confidence which Is necas sary to the confidence on which prosperity rests." This statement was warmly applauded. Mr. Taft said ' what he wanted to talk about was Mr. Bryan'a claim, "that he Is not only ' the heir to the policies of Theodore Roosevelt, but that he Is also the parent of these policies." (Laughter) "Let us then see,'! continued Mr. Taft ''what the Roosevelt policies are, and what hkS been done by Mr. Rooaevelt In carry ing them out and what has ben the attl tudts of the democratic party towards that 'action." The evil of rebates was then described and the remedy the rate bill and the pro vision against rebates discussed. The trust question was then taken up. "Mr. Bryan says the trusts control the republican party, consequently their con trol can not be expected by them. What Is the history of the democratic party? When It was In power it admitted It could not agree on a remedy. The republicans passed the Sherman anti-trust law, and Theodore Roosevelt has been enforcing it.' Not Dealing Bine Sky. Mr. Taft here illustrated this enforce ment by concrete cases, saying: "I like to get down to facts, for I am not an oia tor. I can not dwell in the cerulean blue I have got to deal with reafcasea." chose. The Addison Pipe case was then explained to show how, under the anti-trust law monopoly had been located and remedied the remedy being to prevent the stifling of competition. "W do not," said Mr. Taft, want to prevent large aggregations of capital for legitimate business. They produce a large wage fund and we do not want to drive them out of bualneas It they keep within the law. "Now, Is to a further remedy, what we need Is the Increase of the machinery of government for the supervision of these companies which have the temptation to violate the law, also that w shall have the facilities at Washington to carry on speedy prosecutions, so that when a charge is brought It can be determined speedily and the law Interpreted and enforced." Jadg Taft Makes Pled. Here It was that Mr. Taft reached the climax of lils speech with the emphatic declaration: "if I am elected president, I propose to devote all the ability that Is in me to the constructive work of suggesting to ecngres the mean by which the Roosevelt policies shall bv,ellnched. (Prolonged applause). But that la to be done not with the turn f the hand; Dot a Oovernor Hughes so ably said at Toungstnwn Saturday, by a tn.igtctan'a an9. It muat be don by men who understand the operation of tha sta tutes; who know what the law means, and who understand Ita practical workings and effect.

ULLET MISSES ROOSEVELT President Hai Narrow Escape While Biding Near Hit Home. EIIEF IT WAS HUNTEBS ACT Little Likelihood It Waa Deed nf At- tempted- Assassination lasaae Man Is Arrested at Oyster Bay. OTSTER BAT, N. T., Sept. 8. Sensational reports that an attempt had been made to hoot President Roosevelt apparently have their origin In the fact that the hunting season has opened on Long Island and there la considerable ahootlng dally In the outlying districts. Close Investigation falls to show that there has beeh any overt act direct against the president. It la his cus tom to ride out every day, covering various routes In the countryside and It la not un usual for him to encounter parties of hun ters. Also, there Is a shooting club which engages In target practice not far from Sagamore Hill. Mr. Loeh, secretary to the president, said today It was not believed for a moment that anyone had tried to do harm to Mr. Roosevelt. No attention whatever was being paid to the matter officially, he said. A searching Investigation, however. Is be. ng made today to determine the clrcum- tances giving rise to the report that the hot was fired from ambush upon President Roosevelt. Every foot of ground In the vicinity where the attempt' is alleged to have been made Is being gone over and the losest quest Is being prosecuted to ascer- aln whether or not any person to whom suspicion might attach waa seen In the vi cinity of Oyster Bay about the time the shot is said to have been fired. Shot Came from Dashes. According to the story In circulation here a ahot was fired from a clump of bushes near the roadside while the president and a friend were returning from a horseback ride Jast Saturday., The report of the shot came from close at hand. It Is said, and after the first shock of surprise, which caused the president to urge his horse for. ward, Mr. Roosevelt turned abruptly about and prepared to dismount and rush on foot Into the thicket. He was dissuaded by his friend, however, and together they galloped iway to Sagamore Hill. No Information at all regarding the Incident came from the president's home or the executive offices here, but It appears from the story as lately told that Camllle Weldenfeld. a New York banker, was driving with Mrs. Weldenfeld In the vicinity and was a witness to the occurrence. The Waidenfelda were In a public carriage and their driver also Is said to have heard the report of the ahot and o have witnessed tbe excited actions of the president and his companion which imme diately followed. No one has yet been found who saw the man who Is said to have fired the shot. The general opinion seems to be that If a shot was fired It was oy soma hunter who was totally unaware of the presence of the president In the vicin ity. Even If the man later learned of tha consternation which his actions had caused, It I maintained, there Is little likelihood that, he would come forward with his ver sion oi tbe story at this time .because of the notoriety which would follow the dis. closure of his Identity. . Wudswortb. Tells of .Shooting. Major Wadsworth, a cousin of the speaker of the New York assembly, was riding with the president Saturday when the shooting was heard. The major said today that the president and he were turning from a brisk ride to Cold Spring Harbor and were about to turn from the cove road Into the road leading through the W. Etnlen Rooaevelt estate to Saga more Hill when they heard the shot. It seemed to come from a point nearby, and the president remarked that someone must be at target practice. Major Wadsworth said nothing more was thought about the shooting until the president and he again heard shots. The major added bat It was his Impression that someone was shooting at a target: He expressed the opinion that the president start an Investigation, for the major learned that Jack Rccsevelt, son cf Emlen Roosevelt, had been shoot ing at a target back of the house. Major Wadsworth said they did not con nect the arrest of John Coughlln with thelhosPltal of tn)urle ustained in Jumping, hooting. He does not believe an attempt was made to shoot the president. Message for President. MINEOLA, L, I., Sept. 8. Coughlln was examined by Dr. Frederick A. Wright of Glen Oove and Dr. H. G. Wahlig of Sea Cliff, who were appointed for that purpose by the overseer of the poor. Coughlln was disinclined to talk today, but when ar rested yesterday declared that he had been trying to see the president to deliver a message about the criminals who were shot In the battle with the Boston police force at Forest Hill cemetery some time ago. Coughlln said he was 35 years old. He wears a Van Dyke beard and makes a rather distinguished appearance. NEW YORK, Sept. S. Camllle Welden feld, the Wall street broker, said today that he heard the shot which was alleged to have been intended for the president. "I paid no attention to it, however," he added. "The president and his friend, both on horseback, passed us and doubtless were 100 yards away when w heard the shot. Had w feared It waa meant for him w would have turned bark, but we did not. It Is incorrect to state that Mrs. Welden feld made a remark to the effect that It was an attempt to kill the president" luai Man Arrested. MINEOLA, L. I., Sept. I. Jonn Coughlln, the armed man who waa arrested while at. tempting to reach tha president at Saga more Hill yesterday, was examined by two physicians today and pronounced inaane. He will be aent to an asylum at Kings Park. L. I. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. I. -The police of this city believe thst John Coughlln, who was arrested by a secret service sgent at Oyster Bay yesterday while attempting to secure an interview with President Roose velt, Is John Coughlln of Walpole, Mass., who has been missing from his home in that town for about ten days. His boms here Is near the Walpole-Foxboro line and not far from the Foxboro Home for Inebri ates. Ths man arresteed at Oyster Bay said he had been an Inmate of an Insane asylum In Walpole. but there 1 no such In. stltutlon in the town. Officials of th Fox boro hospital said today that no person named John Coughlln had ever been an In mate of their Institution.

Moore jumped from a third-story window and his brains were dashed out when he struck the pavement. He came to Denver for his health about six months ago from Philadelphia, where he had been engaged In the real estate business. Burtell was suffocated to death. He waa a Pullman conductor, who made his home in Denver. The fire, which is supposed to have been caused by an incendiary, broke out on the third floor, at the top of the hotel, and spread with amazing rapidity. Nearly 100 guests were stopping in the house and many of them found all means of egress cut off when aroused. At least five persons Jumped from windows. Many others were carried down extension ladders by firemen and po licemen working In relays. The whole rear portion of the building, on which were two fire escapes, as well as the stairway, was quickly burned away. Heroic Reacaea. Several heroic rescues were observed by a crowd of more than 1,000 spectators, who stood In the street watching the blase. Patrick Treadwell, a fireman of Cripple Creek, Colo., who was stopping in the Bel moMh when the fire started, Is credited with hsvlng saved at least ten lives by In ducing entrapped guests to Jump from the upper story windows mi a five-foot al ley to the roof of an adjoining building and catching them In his arms. Mora than a score of persons Jumped from window be fore the fire department arrived. In the opinion of officials of ths fir de partment the hotel was set afire and a rigid examination is being made. Within the last week half a dosen small fires, believed to have been of Incendiary origin, have occurred at rooming houses in this city.

Sept-,-A package entrustod'to the car ef the Wells-Fargo Express company at Salem, Ore., by J. R Albert, president of the Capital National bank of that city, and addressed to Josoph M. Meyers at the Portland hotel In this city, containing notes and other valuable paper representing $53,000, la strangely missing. That the package reached Port land from Salem on the Southern Pa cific train, arriving here at 11:30 o'clock on -the night of August 21 has been established beyond doubt, but what became of i It after that hour would be welcome news to the express company, to Joseph Meyers and Banker Albert of Salem. How the theft was accomplished Is al- moitt as great a mystery to the express company officials aa is the Identity of the thieves. The package was taken from the Union depot office, they believe, some time between 11:30 p. m., August 21, and 1:30 a. m August 22. During these hours the men In the express office are rushed with work and it Is possible that the door of the office was left open for a few moments and that the thief slipped In and took the package. When Banker Albert entrusted the valuable to the express company he specified 110 as Its value, and for that reason the package waa not placed In the company'a strong box.
