A dispatch fro Lrncolh. NehT. says:
Following up • his expression of
Saturday in criticism of the Republi
can national platfttrm in generis,
s William Jennings \ryan gave out
Sunday a statement lb which he as
sails in particular the anti-injunction
plank of the Chicago declaration,
characterizing is as a "transparent
fraud.” The statement follows:
"The anti-injunction plank of the
Republican platform as Anally adopt-
‘ is a transparent fraud. It is poa-
i le that the members of the com-
wcre buncoed by some trust
lawyer—that -is the Only charitable
view that cun betaken of it. Those
who advocated the plank claimed
to be doing it as a concession to the
wage earne s. and yet if. one will
read the plank he will see that it is.
in fact, an announcement that the
Republican party is unalterably op
posed to the tailoring man’s position.
The plank i -ads as follows: _
“ ‘The Ri'publican party will up
hold at all times the authority and
integrity of the courts. State and fed-
ersl s»d wili ever insist that their
power to en orce their proc^sSM &n<T
to protect life, liberty and property
shall Iks preserved Inviolate. We be
lieve, however, that the rules of pro
cedure in federal courts twlth re
spect to the issuance of a writ of
injunction should tie more accurately
defined by the statute; that no in
junction or temporary restraining
order should be issued without no
tice. except where irreparable in
jury would Yeault from delay, in
which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted.
"fCwill bo seen the plank begins
with an un iecessary eulogy of the
courts. Nobody Is opposed to up
holding at nil times the authority
and Integrity of the courts. Nobody
Is ol»lection to the enforcement of
their proces. es or of their exercise
of their poa-rs to protect'life, liber
ty and prop< rty. The plauk assumes
that somclmdy is attacking the courts
and that the courts are in danger of
losing suppo t or of having their pow
ers weaken* 1. There is no attack
upon the courts and there is no
thought anywhere of interfering
with any legitimate function of- the
court. The Republican convention
puts up a man of straw and then
preeds t» demolish it. This part
the plank was written to give as-
•ance to the people who are op
posed to the tailoring man’s plea.
Abd now lev us proceed to that part
of the plank which was Intended as
a sop to the laboring man. It says:
‘We tiellve, that the rules of proce
dure in the federal court with re
spect to the issuance of a whit jof
Injunction should be more accurately
defined by tbe statute.’ (Just what
that deflniti >n shall be is not stat
ed).
Klatute Oopted.
“ That no injunction or. tempor
ary restraining order should be
issued without notice except where
irreparable injury should result
from delay, in which case a speedy
hearing thereafter should be grant
ed.’ Note the words except where
irreparable injury would result from
delay’ and compare this, exception
with the federal statute ou the Sub
ject and Jou will find that court Is
hot empowered to grant a'tempo
rary restraining order except there
appears to lie danger of irreparable
injury from delay. It will be seen
that the man who wrote the in
junction plank copied the statute al
most word- for word ’and made the
exception as broad as the statute. If
the convention had been frank in
the statement of Its position it would
have quoted The present statute and
said that It was In favor of enforc
ing the law just as it is. It would
have said. Whereas at present a
court, or Judge may grant a tempor
ary restraining order,’ ‘if there ap
pears to be danger of irreparable in
jury from delay. 1 ‘therefore, be it
resolved that we are opposed to
changing it.’
“Tife men who are responsible for
the language of the injunction plana
may have fooled the convention but
they can not fool the laboring men
or tire" voters in general. The ln-
\ junction plank has nqt even the
"Thilue of a gold plate brick for the
plating in braes as well as the inter
ibr of the brick.
"The plank as prepared in advan
ce of the convention by Mr. Taft’s
friends and given out Tuesday read
m follows: "We declare for such

W’hen the next battleship of Uncle

christened “South Carolina” by Miss
Frederica Ansel, daughter of the
goveruor of this state. The lauach-
ifi*-of Jthe ship will take place on
the lith of July at the Cramps' ship
yard. Philadelphia.
Governor Ansel has sent out let

company him to the launching, and
he stated recently that his daughter
would christen the ship— The cere
monies are in charge of the builders
of the:.ship, who have requested Oov.

After the launching the party will
be entertained at luncheon ,by the
contractors, when two or three short
speeches are to be made
The United^ates battleship South

thorized by congress in the naval
appropriation act of March, 31,
1906, her sister ship being the Mich

weeks ago at the New York Ship
Building company's dock. The
South Carolina is being built by the
Craigs SUamship company, of Phila
delphia.—The contract for her con
struction was signed on Juty ii,
1906. Her keel was laid December
la. and tee will he finally complet
ed and turned over to the United
StT.es a >'■< rnraent on December 21,
1909. The contract price, exclusive
of armor and armament, was
540,000. She will have cost the gov
ernment when completed about $7,-
000.000.
The feoulh Carolina will have a
displacement of 16,000 tons; a speed
of 18 ff knots; coal supply,v 2,220
tons; armor belt, 12 Inches: case-
men side armor, 10 to 8 Inches;

Ibc battleship South Carolina is

"It will be noticed that in this
plank the declaration in favor of
amendments comes first ant^, the de
claration in favor of preserving un-
dltiftnished the power of the courts
to enforce their processes comes
afterwards. In the plank as adop
ted by the convention the declara
tion in favor of the courts comes
first and the discussion of a change
in the law comes afterward.
Resort to Deception.,
"If the demand of the laboring
man was unreasonable why did not
the convention say so? Why did i’
resort to deception?. The Republi-’
ran party will find that an hone.-t
course would have been safer thai
the dlshonewt course being pursued.
Secretary Taft is known as tb<
father of government by injunction
and his speeches in Oklahoma Iasi
year gave conclusive proof of his
adherence to the position taken b>
him on the bench. He is still in fav
or of the use of the writ of injunc
tion in labor cases and he is opposed
to trial by Jury.
In a speech delivered in New
York last winter he said in response
uestions tha he law ought to
be JTTsnwwtod. give a hearing
before the Mil ffjnitri
and even consented that the'Trea
for contempt should be before a dif
ferent judge from the one who grant
ed the injunction, but when he came
to prepare a plank for the convention
he did not go so far as he went in
his speech. The plank that went be
fore the convention aa his plahk waa
so weak that it amounted to nothing,
but H was even then too strong for
the convention, and the convenlon
adopted a plank which not only does
not grant any concessions to the
laboring men but really emphasises
tha position taken by large corporate
employers by hurling anathema .at
thoee who are suspected of a deal re
to modify the law relating to in
junctions.
‘This la the treatment received
by the wage earner* from the na-
tional convention* of the Republican
petty. If thl* la the position of the
petty before the election, what reason
has the laboring man to hope that
the party will do better afeer elec-
tkm?"
Locked In each other’s arms, In
plain views of hundreds on shore
and upon the awiiing decks of an
chored yachts, Captain Otto Aubert
and his wife were drowned Wednes
day nffchtoff the foot of East Twenty-
ninth street. New York In the slip
known as “The prowners.”
Five thousand spectators watched
the electric lights of the police launch
and thirty of the yachts,as they drag
ged 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 “drowners' ” slip in the last
twenty years. No tragedy has caus
ed the sorrow of this sad happening.
The spectators murmured in sympa
thy when the bodies, still firmly held
In a last embrace, were brought to
the surface.
It was to save the life of her help
mate 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 l>oat, the Edgewood, lad
en to her deck-beams with grain in
bulk, reached the moorings at the
foot of East Twenty-ninth street.
The grain was partially discharged
when Mrs. Aubert rang the supper
belT“«t T p. m.—— ___
After supper the grizzled captain,
dnee ' a Norwegian soldier, whose
universal good nature had gained
for him the sobriquet of "Happy
Otto.” lighted his corncob pipe and
tuned his banjo. He was an expert
on this instrument, and for an hour
he entertained his wife.
Finglly he. gang his wife's favorite
song: "When are you coming home,
my dear?"
The stuffy little cabin had grown
more stuffy, and the Captain sug
gested that they get a little air on
deck. He preceded her to the rail
and leaned upon it. It gave way
with his weight just aa his wife
reached his side. Before he could
make a motion to save her she was
overboard.
"Hannah, qh. Hannah!” he cried,
as the current l»ore him away.
Mrs. Aubert ran to the rail and
plunged in.
Daniel Sheehan and John Dunn
stood on the bulkhead, after trying
to get a boat they jumped overboard
in their clothing and swam to where
the old captain was struggling to
unlock the arms of bis wife. Rut
the woman, who was half strangled,
only clung the tighter, and Sheehan
and Dunn had to keep clear or
themselves go down. .
They saw the couple sink together
and then rise--again. The captain
weaker than before, tried again to
loosen his wife's hold, but in vain.
Finally, with a despairing cry, he
threw his own arms about his wife,
and they went down for the last
time.
Nearly sixty .yachts were anchored
in the East River north and south
of Twenty-ninth street. Every one
of them had sent their tenders when
they heard ’ that a seuple were
drowning. The launches with elec
tric lights on board aided the police
