TAFT SUFFERS
A COLLAPSE
Hard Work of the Campaign Over
comes Republican Nominee
in New York. j
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
New York, Oct. 27—William H.
Taft, republican nominee for presi
dent, collapsed at his hotel last night
from physical and mental exhaustion
after a day of hard work, and immedi
ately following an evening address to
an audienc estimated at 15,000. He is
much better today, and his physicians
announce that after two or three days
of rest he should be able to resume his
campaign tour through New \ork
state. It is the plan of the republican
national committee to keep Mr. Taft;
in New York all this week, and have
him close the campaign in Youngs
town, Ohio, next Monday night.
Mr. Taft returned from his tour of
the middle west, extending as far as
Cheyenne and Denver, slightly the
worse from the effects of making
several speeches a day, and his swing
through Kentucky, Tennessee and
West Virginia, added to the strain.

BRYAN SPEAKS
IN NEW YORK
The (ireat Commoner Before
Thousands Criticises Record
of Taft and Roosevelt.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway,
New York, Oct. 27—William J.
Bryan invaded New York yesterday,
and last night at Madison Square
Garden spoke to one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in the city.
The monster hall was jammed, and the
streets for blocks away were packed j
ed with tens of thousands of shouting
adherents of the democratic standard
bearer. Mr. Bryan answered Presi
dent Roosevelt’s letter of yesterday
morning, appealing to the labor vote to
support Mr. Taft, by assailing both
Roosevelt and Taft as enemies of labor. '
He characterized Roosevelt as a sham i
reformer, and reviewed his record at
length in an effort to prove that he
never had accomplished anything for
the permanent uplifting of labor’s
cause. As for Taft, he declared that
his decisions on the bench were biased
against labor, and his conduct in the
Philippines and in the cabinet was un
friendly to labor throughout
The presence of both Taft and Bryan
in New York during the closing week
of the campaign has helped to give
white heat to the presidential cam
paign in the city and state. The fight
has drawn from their retirement sever
al of the old war horses on both sides,
including David B. Hill, former gover
nor and senator, and one time demo
cratic boss of the state. Hill is active
ly aiding in the management of the
Bryan campaign.
ELKINS MAKES DENIAL
Justice of Supreme Court of Penn*
sylvania Says Hearst’s Charges
Against Him Have no Foundation
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Pittsburg, Oct. 27—Justice Elkins
o! the supreme court of the state of
Pennsylvania today issued a denial of
the charges made yesterday by Wil
liam R. Hearst in which Mr. Hearst
accused him of having maintained con
fidential relations with the Standard
Oil Company. Justice Elkins states
that the charges made by Hearst are
without the slightest foundation. The
coupling of Elkins’ name with Standard
Oil influence was done by Mr. Hearst
to show the power of the corporation
in machine politics of the old parties
in Pennsylvania, and incidentally the
necessity of bringing a new party into
power.

WILL MAKE
FINE EXHIBIT
Mr. H. H. Hildreth Gathers Varie
ties of Coal, Quartz and Oth
er Products for A.-Y.-P.
“The Kenai peninsula and the Cook
inlet country will have a first class
exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacitic
exposition,” says Mr. H. II. Hildreth,
one of the Alaska directors and spe
cial agent of the exposition in this
part of Alaska.
Mr. Hildreth has just returned from
a trip to Cook inlet, and was very suc
cessful in collecting exhibits which will
be shipped in a few weeks to Seattle;
also in making arrangements for the
shipment of many others on the first
steamer from the inlet in the spring.
Fine specimens of gold, copper and
iron ore have been secured from
various parts of the Kenai peninsula
and the Susitna country. These speci
mens are from well defined ledges
and run in values from $20 a ton to
over $100 to the ton, the latter val
ues being from gold quartz now being
developed at Hope.
There will be coal from eight or ten
different sections of the country, nota
bly from the Matanuska, the Susitna
and Kenai peninsula. It will be of
several varieties, in every stage of
its formation, from the time it is so
nearly wood that it can be whittled
into shavings, through all its various
stages of transformation into pure an
thracite.
Several samples of crude petroleum
also will be exhibited from near Ili
amna bay.
Sections of Alaska’s largest spruce,
cottonwood and hemlock will form a
part of the exhibit, also sections of a
giant “quakenasp” tree. The largest
“quakenasp” in the United States
grow at Susitna Station.
Vegetables, grasses and grains have
been secured, and arrangements made
to ship fresh vegetables next summer
as fast as they ripen. Several varie
ties of native berries also jellies, jams
and preserves from wild and cultivated
berries are among the collection.
In addition there are fine specimens
of moose, sheep and caribou heads,
which will be mounted.

GATES HAS
NEW FORTUNE
The Swiftwater Hero of Dawson's
Early Days Discharged From
Bankruptcy.
8t Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Seattle, Oct. 27—“Swiftwater Bill1*
Gates was yesterday discharged from
bankruptcy after a hearing that has
been pending in the courts for two
years. He recently made a new for
tune in Nevada and paid his old debts.
Gates was one of the pioneers in the
Dawson country when the first stam
pede was made to the Yukon. He
quickly accumulated a fortune esti
mated at $1,500,000, and as quickly
squandered it in his several escapades
with three wives, two of whom left
him and secured divorces. The first
one committed suicide only a few days
ago in Valdez.
It is not known how much his new
fortune amounts to but some of his
friends say he is worth a half million,
while others say he is worth not more
than $50,000. He is not spening it as
lavishly as he dissipated his first for
j tune. _
