SECRETARY TAFT'S TEXT.
Hope That Intervention May lie
Avoided Despite Preparations.
[J-Yom Thi Tilbury Hur<«3ii ] •
Washington, H»j>t. 22. — "Patience is essential."
Secretary Taft Is reported t<> have said to an in
quiring new.Kjinpcr man in Havana to-day, ac
cording to *peclal dispatch received in Wash
ington this afternoon, and In the absence of offi
cial information some of the more conservative
officials in the- .State, War and Navy Building
suggest that th<» Secretary has furnished the
text which should dominate Jill opinions «jn the
<"üban situation for the present. Patience and
faith in Secretary Taft's ability to arouse the
common p< nse of the Cuban people should, they
fay. offset the gloomy views which would natu
rally follow tiie discouraging news of the Sec
retary's mission.
But while patience will be exercised at Wash
ington and oyster Bay. preparedness will con
tinue to be the watchword of the military de
partments, not alone for the reason that it is
appreciated that events at any time may compel
mllitaiy Intervention on the part of th.- United
States, |>ur for the additional reason that the
military prepare* now in progress cannot, .•
is believed, fail tr. have a salutary moral In
fluence on th^ Cubans to whom thfy must
demonstrate the gravity of tie situation nd th.
determination <>f the administration tn put a
ptop to the intolerable conditions In Cuba by
force if diplomatic methods prove futile.
THE 1< i: BROKEN BY SECRETARY.
Some encouragement Is also found in a news
paper dispatch, which represents Secretary Taft
as saying:

THREE XEGROES KILLED.
Four Assaults Drive Whites to
Frenzy— Troops Called Out.
Atlanta. Sept. I'LV— Four attempts at assault
on white women by Negroes within or near the
limits of the city to-day wrought white cithjen*
here to a hUh pitch of excitement to-nlsrht. The
assaults r.f the ilny, following two others of a
Flmtlar nature within the week, ami at least
half a dozen others within the test two months,
brought on a climax to-night.
Governor Terrell Issued an order fit •night
calling out eight companies of the ."th Infantry
and on» battery at lißht artillery. This order
was not Issued until three Negroes had hot-n
billed and fifteen taken to the hospitals, five of
wh>m will die. These Include only those cases
of which the police have official knowledge. The
local newspaper men say the number of dead Is
Jir-or.
The mob began- lTsrrrork-e»rly »» -the evening,
pulling Negroes from streetcars and boating
them with clubs, bricks end stones. Negro men
and women riding to their homes after the work
of the day were torn from the cars or attacked
in the streets. In a few cases Negroes retaliated
in the early part of the night, but after I<>
o'clock they were scarce In public places.
The fire department was called out to disperse
the mob in Decatur street, a street most fre
quented by N>Rr.>e«, and for a time seemed to
hold the crowd :tt bay. The po!i<-.> reserves
were called out and will hold the situation until
the troops can be mobilized. The mob seemed
to lack leadership, and this doubtless prevented
;?re;it slaughter.

Jim Tracy, drlvln<? the Ktt-horsepower I>i.-<>!ii<'
bile racer with the eye of a hawk and an arm

the Vanderbllt Cun course when in a spectac

man. L* Rlon. was a ■■ second, after having
held the lead several times in the heartbreaking

finish the contest, was the 00-horsepower
Haynes, not a real racer, but only a stripped
touring car model, which, carefully nursed by
Harding, maintained a speed sufficient to dis
tance cars of twtre the power.
The winner negotiated the ten rounds of the
course in 5 hours 127 minutes anil }•"■ seconds,
which wns nt a rate of ".J.74." minutes for each
lap of 21X71 miles, or an average sp»-ed of M l

jr.. who acted as» referee, called the race off,
after consultation with th" cup commission, as
people were crowding on the course at various
points and it serious accident seemed likely If
the tacen were r Mowed ' o continue.
As only three cars had finished, and as it was
necessary to pick five cars to represent Amer-
Ira In the race for the Vanderbllt Cup on Octo
ber •">. the officials decided to allow the two cars
which were leading when the race was stopped
to qualify. These were the ILM>-horsepower
Pope-Toledo, driven by Herbert Lytl-v and the
riO-horeepovrer Christie touring car. built awl
driven by Walter Christie. These two cars.
therefore, with the Locomablle, the Thomas and
the Haynes, vii make up the American team
which v ill try conclusions with the German.

The 110-ln.rsHp..wer Frayer-Miller cnr. driven
i v Lawwell. was sUth when the race ended,
ami a representative of thi«« cur made nn oral
protest to Mr Vanderhilt. on the ground that
the bis I*ope-To!»'iio racer was running poorly
as it passed th" grandstand to start its last cir
cuit nt the course and acted as if it misfit not
l>o able to finish th^ race. Mr. Vanderbllt or
dered th« protest to be submitted in writing
within twenty-four hours, but It seems Improb
able that It will be seriously considered unless
better reasons for disqualifying the Pope-Toledo
aiv adduced. At the moment the race was de
clared off the Pope-Toledo and the Christie were
first and second, respectively, with good mr.r-
Kins to Fpare, ;ir.il it seenja tis If the action of
the cup officials was eminently just.
r»XLT ONE PAD ACCIDENT.
The race was free from fatalities, smd only one
bad accident marred it. This occurred soon
after the start. Mnngtnt, in the CO- horsepower
Mathcson, had w ' away fr««m the murk like a
cannon ball, evoking much applause from th«
irmnil»taii<l. He made fist thne through Jericho
and ::i» Norwich, but while thundering along:
the North Hemjwtead Turnpike. In the Tillage of
JJanhftssot. twinty miles from the start, new .if
his rear tires blew up without warning Tiie car
skidded in'o n telegraph pole and was badly
wrec!\e«!. Mcn^inl and his mechanician wer«
sent hurtlli - through the air as if '."' from a
catapult. Both were badly bruised, but n • ln>n»"s
w»re broken. Monglnl at one*- set about to re
pair his car but it whs soon found to be ■ hope
less tn'k. and the l>ic foreigner had to reslnu
himself to th^ !>art >-f a looker-on. i
Nor was Uonglni*s car the only one to •» out
of commisslbn on the first round. While such
popular choices as Lytle and Tracy nd I." Rlon
and Christie* were making excellent headway
around the course, numerous other contestants
were encountering trouble with engine, magneto,
radiator or tires. Keel«-r and the OldsmobllC.
who started No. i In the race, stopped before

finally started am! the firs: round eventually j
completed. th*> entry was nevr .i factor, ami |

nfter taking over two hours to make a single lap.

Conners « laims l~."» «le!.-t;T:*« fcr Hearst with
out New York ;in«i Erl,* «.>unties, and says that
the editor will be named 'or Governor on th«
first ballot. For a man ha\insg a .>«ure thing he
a< # ts suspiciously nervous. Edward E. ■ »'•»
worth, chairman of the I>*n;o«Tat'c general
committee, says that the Erie .!elog;ation til
be tllviile-1 In the ronveution atnl that some of
the- dcl^gnt^s will not be for Hearst at all.
The c:i!y thing that seerra reasonably certain
to-ni^ht is that thinsrs will bo worse to-mor
row th;w» they are to-night and a llttl»- wors« on
Sfonday than they are to-morrow. The outcom*
will depend almost wholly on the action of
the N*w York delegates. If Murphy i-an fore»
the unit rule and give Hearst the entire lt»s
Tammany votes, 'he agony wlfl b«* over In short
order, Hoarst will be nominated and the stata
organization, after pits3ir>i» through one pro
longed paroxysm, will with lowered vitality enter
straightway on another, wtth a prospect that
lt« last condition will he- worse than its first.
"Hearst cannot get the Democratic* nomina

Independence League." .said! Norman E. Mack

"Then." saki Mr. Mack, with a broad grin, > 'tn9

CONNERS ISSUES APPEAL.
"Ftnkey" Conners started Hm music at break
fast time to-day in "The Courier," with a three
column wide appeal, headed: "To Democratic
Delegates — Will You Support Hearst •■ Betray
Democratic Voters?"
The names of the twenty-seven delegates fol
low, and then comes the appeal, In part as fol
lows:
Tour constituents have not relieved you of
your duty t<» the Democratic party because a
resolution was adopted in some of the Assembly
district conventions antagonistic to, th ■ nomina
tion of William R. Hearst.
N•• all of th» delegates elected from th»
i county of Erie are puppets. They were told thit
Chairman Coatsworth was for Hearst H>* t^U
them h«* was for Hearst. Norman E. Mack said
he was for Hearst. They assumed that he spok»
the truth. It was not until after the primaries
I were held that the hypocrisy of Mack and
Coatsworth was revealed.
Who are the- men in N*e-v York and Buffalo
opposed to the nomination of Mr. Hearst? In
the metropolis they are the insurance swindler*
who robbed the policyholdem ami their families
of millions while the Republican state ofQcfaJS
were either asleep OS in league with the rob
bers; the group of financier*, so-called, who con
trol the streetcar facllitit-s of N.-w York and
Brooklyn, whose holding" are capitalized at ten
times their value, and who forc>- the people t»
pay dividends on franchises obtained by corrupt
purchase from the city jrovernmenr: th» m<»n be
hind the Oh Trust, who were forced to jrivo
New York S<>-cen? gas after years of warfara,
in which Mr. Hearst was always on th« firing
line.
And who are th^ men In Puffaln opposed to
Mr Hearst* The former law partners of Wri
i:>ni F* Sh»-ehan. Edward E Cbatswcrth and
John Cunneen. Mr. She»-han is the attorney f'>r
Ryan and Felmont. and for them has Just ob
tained a valuable franchise on the RamhorS
Turnpike In TJuffalo He was al>le to secure this
extraordinary privilege through the generous
Intervention of Mayor Adam, who now Is fa
vored for Oovemor by thf» -
Ryan Interests.
Mr. Hearst is a goo.l enruiph Democrat for
nine-t»nth* of the party. The nuestlon at pres
ent to be <l"t»>rmlne«l Is whether the other one
t»'nfh shall run the* Democratic convention.
An opportunity is presented this year t> elect
not only a state ticket hut a Senate and As
■rmbly. The close districts all over th« stat*
can l.c carried if a fusion of issues is made- by
the Democrats anil Independents This i-nnnot
be done without fusfon. because the Republican
gerrymander is such that a Democratic statw
ticket could win by a majority of ."O.«)(K>. and
still permit the election of a Republican T.ejr's
lature In both houses. There must be a fusion
ul«o in order r» assure the election of Democratic
officials in Erie Ooutity to succeed RepuMicans
whose terms expire with the of this year
With three tickets in the fUMiI th-> Democrats
car not reasonably hope, for success.
