A dispatch fro Lincolu, Neb., Bays:
Following up his expression of
Saturday In criticism of the Republican
national platform In generla,
William Jennings Bryan gave out
Sunday a statement in which he ascuilu
It* no cHnnlor t ho nnH.ln {imoHrtn
plunk of the Chicago declaration, i
characterizing is as a "transparent c
fraud." The statement follows: i
"The anti-injunction plank of the c
Republican platform as finally adopt- 1
ed is a transparent fraud. It is possible
that the members of the com- I
in it tee were buncoed by some trust c
lawyer?that is the only charitable s
view that can be taken of it. Those
who advocated the plank claimed (
to lie doing It as a concession to the t
wage earners, and yet If one will a
read the plank he will see that it is, 1
in fact, an announcement thut the 1,
Republican party is unalterably op- v
posed to the laboring man's position. I
The plank reads as follows: S
" 'The Republican party will up- C
hold at all times the authority and d
integrity of t ie courts, State and fed- g
oral, and wlil ever Insist that, their l
power to enf >rce their processes and 1
to protect li e, liberty and property e
shall be preserved inviolate. We be- s
lleve, howevi r, that the rules of pro- t
cedure In Inderal courts with ,re o
spcct to the issuance of a writ of 5
injunction should be more accurately e
defined by tbe statute; that no In- 0
limcllnn or tnnitmrurv rest raieinif
order should be issued without no- d
tire, except where Irreparable In- o
jury would result from delay, In t<
which case :i speedy hearing there- n
after should be granted. b
"Ii will b" seen the plank begins ti
with an unnecessary eulogy of the 1
courts. Nobody is opposed to up- g
holding at ell times the authority ei
and integrlt> of the courts. Nobody n
1h objection to the enforcement of it
their processes or of their exercise >
of their pow. rs to protect life, liber- rr
ty and property. The plank assumes u
.that somebody is attacking the courts p
and that the courts are In danger of 9
losing suppoil or of having their powers
weakened. There Is no .uttuck o
upon the c< urts and there Is no If
thought an- where of Interfering d
with any legitimate function of the, k
court. The Republican convention ei
puts up a .11 an of straw and then t.t
proceeds to demolish it. This pait ti
of the plank was written to give assurance
to t he people who are op- si
posed to the laboring man's plea, ti
And now let us proceed to that part u
of the plank which was intended as o
a sop to the laboring man. It says: ii
"Wo helive, i hat the rules of proce- dure
in the federal court with re- a
spect to the issuance of a writ of
Injunction should be more accurately p
defined by the statute.' (Just what a
that, deflnltii ti shall be is not stat- c
od). - d
Statute Copied. t<
" 'That 110 Injunction or tempor- a
nry restraii Ing or ler should be t?
Issued without notice except where ti
Irreparable injury should result tl
from delay, in which case a speedy ii
Iwi'ii'lntr tlmi .infi Ar chmilrl l\o arnnt.
ed.' Note the words 'except where
Irreparable injury would result from n
delay' and 'Compare this exception t
with (he federal statute on the sub- r
Jecl and you will find that court Is e
not empowered to grant a tempo- c
vary restraining order except there't
appears to be danger of Irreparable
iujury from delay. It will tie seen f
that the m in who wrote the In- a
junction plank copied the statute al- y
most word for word and made the a
exception as broad as the statute. If ti
the convention had been frank in n
the statement of its ]K>6itton it would t
have quoted the present statute and t
said that it was In favor of enforcing
the law Just as it Is. It would ^
have said. 'Whereas at present a t
court or judge may grant a tompor- I
ary restraining order,' 'If there ap- 1
pears to be danger of irreparable in- a
jury from delay.' 'therefore, bo It f
resolved th.it we are opposed to I
changing it.' t
"The men who are responsible for t
the language of the injunction plana 1
may have fooled the convention hut 1
they can not fool the laboring men |
or the voters In general. The in- t
junction plank has not even the 1
value of a gold plate brick for the t
plating in brass as well as the inter- i
ior of the brick. j
"The piank as prepared in advan- |
re of the convention by Mr. Taft's |
friends and given out Tuesday read (
as follows: 'We declare for such i
amendments to the statutes relative
to procedure in the federal courts
with respect to the use of the writ
of injunction as will, on the one
hand prevent the summary issue of
such orders without proper consideration
and on the other will preserve

A special dispatch from Columbia

christened "South Carolina" by Miss
Fiederica Ansel, daughter of the
governor of this state. The launchng
of the ship will take place on

by congress in the naval
ippropriation act of March. 31,

which was launched a few
feekH ago at the New York Ship
luilding company's dock. The
'outh Carolina is being built by the
'rami) SUainship rompnny, of Philatlphia.
The contract for her conduction
was signed on July 21,
906. Her keel was laid December
8. and she will be finally complctd
and turned over to the United 1
tf.es P'?v? rnment on December 21,
900. The contract price, exclusive
f armor and armament, was $3
40,000. She will have cost the govrnmont
when completed about $7,00,000.
The South Carolina will have a

"It will be noticed that in this

Kesort to Deception.
"If the demand of the laboring
lan was unreasonable why did not
he convention soy so? Why did i'
esort to deception? The Ilepubli
an party will find that an hone t
ourse would have been safer than
he dishonest course being pursued
"Secretary Taft is known as tin
ather of government by injunction
nd his speeches in Oklahoma last '
our gave conclusive proof of his
dlierence to the position taken i>>
ilm on the bench. He Is still in fav?r
of the use of the writ of injuncton
in labor cases and he is opposed
o trial by jury.
"In a speech delivered in New
fork last, winter he said in resjionse
o questions tha he law ought to
?e so amended as to give a hearing
>efore the injunction was granted
ind even consented that the hearing
or contempt should be before a diferent
judge from the one who grantid
the injunction, but when he came
o prepare a plank for the. convention
ie did not go so far as he went in
1IH spvuirii. I lit: I?I<1 II rv iiinl wt;ni iftfore
the convention as his plank was
io weak that it amounted to nothing,
?ut it was even then too strong for
Lhe convention, and the convenion
idopted a plank which not only does
not grant any concessions to the
laltoring men but really emphasizes
the position taken by large corporate
emplove.rs by hurling anathema at
those who are suspected of a desire
to modify the law relating to injunctions.
"This is the treatment received
by the wage earners from the national
conventions of the Republican
party. If this is the position of the
party before the election, what reason
has the laboring man to hope that
the party will do better afcer election?"

DROWNS WITH WIFE

CAPTAIN ENDS IN TRAGEDY.
Drowning Occurred in Sight of Hnn
dml* Who Were Powerless to Pre
Tent It.
Locked in each other's arms, ir
plain views of hundreds on shore
and upon the awning decks of an
chored yachts. Captain Otto Auberi
and his wife were drowned Wednesday
night off the foot of East Twentyninth
street. New York in the slii
known as "The Drowners."
Five thousand spectators watched
the electric lights of the police launch
and thirty of the yachts as they dragged
for the bodies. They were
found finally not more than fifty
feet from the barge Edgewood,
which Captain Aubert commanded.
Fully fifty persons have been
drowned off the "Dumps," as that
part of the river front is called, in
the "drowncrs' " slip in the last
twenty years. No tragedy has caused
the sorrow of this sad happening.
The spectators murmured in sympathy
when the laidies, still firmly held
in a last embrace, were brought to
the surface.
It was to save the life of her helpmate
that Mrs. Aubert sacrificed her
own. He had fallen overboard and
she leaped in after him.
For more than thirty years they
had navigated the rivers and Sound
when their boat, tlie Edgewood. laden
to her deck-beams with grain in
bulk, reached the moorings at the
foot of Enst Twenty-ninth 6treet.
The grain was partially discharged
when Mrs. Aubert rung the supper
bell at 7 p. m.
After supper the grizzled captain,
once a Norwegian soldier, whose
universal good nature had gainer!
for him the sobriquet of "Happy
Otto," lighted his corncob pipe and
tuned his banjo. He was an expert
an this instrument, aud for an hour
he entertained his wife.
Finally he sang his wife's favorite
Jong: "When are you coming home,
my dear?"
The stuffy little cabin had grown

tnd leaned upon it. It gave way
with his weight just, as his wife
reached his side. Hefore he could
nake a motion to save her she was
>verboard.
"Hannah, oh. Hannah!" he cried,
?s the current bore him away.
Mrs. Aubert ran to the rail and
tlunged in.
Daniel Sheehau and John Dunn
itood on the bulkhead, after trying
o get a boat they jumped overboard
n their clothing and swam to where
he old captain was -struggling to
inlock the arms of his wife. Hut
he woman, who was half strangled.
>nly clung the tighter, and Sheehan
tnd Dunn had to keep clear or
hemselves go down.
They saw the couple sink together
tnd then rise again. The captain
weaker than before, tried again to
oosen his wife's hold, but in vuin.
Finally, with a despairing cry. he
threw his own arms about his wife,
tnd they went down for the last
time.
Nearly sixty yachts were anchored

The strength of the young wumai

to escape from swinging from it with

stood on the tracks.
Captain Jones, engineer of the Tallulah
Kails railway, brought his
train to a standstill, and leaping from
his engine ran towards the girl who
had suspended from the big bridge.
He had almost reached her side
when with a scream sho dropped to
the gorge below. It was the work
of a few moments to run back across
the trestle aud run down the pathway
on its side. He found the
young woinun bruised and bleeding

11 The charge heard by Magistrate !
f Smeak was for bigamy. The prose- 1
s outing witness, who gives her name '
as Mrs. Elizabeth Meigs Stalvey, was 1
the only witness examined. She
testified that she was married on
r July 34, 1903, to the defendant, by |
- a man Riving his name us the Rev. |
. T. C. Clemmons at the home of a (
- ?ertaiu fisherman, whose name she |

- was performed. She had often been (
1 introduced by tlio defendunt as his |
I wife. She offered in evidence a doeuI
m e n t signed by J. C. Clem- (
mons. which certified to the marriage ^
- of Stalvey and witness. ^
- On cross-examination she said her
1 home was originally In Wilmington. f

I Petway. that she had been twice mar'
ried. that her first htisband was Mr. (_

teacher. stenographer, typewriter
and lujokkeeper. and last worked in '
1 Atlanta about a year ago. Since then s
she had been assisting the defendant. *
1 She said she knew the defendant
was married in April. He had been
1 away from her several months at 1
1 the time. The marriage had been
kept secret at his request at some '
1 places, and they went under the *'
name of Mr. and Mrs. Mays, and at

She would not assume her correct w

a strong case has been made against c
Stalvey, and the woman here who

clearly has the sympathy of the ma- c
