BEVERLY, Mom. Aug. 24? Prosl
dont Taft has Issued a statement in
reply to the attacks which have been
made upon the Payne-Aldrlch tariff
bill. President Tuft states that the
tariff revision affords substantial re
lief to the consumer anil that the
administration is willing to stand by 114
record In regard to the pre-election
promises.
Eye witnesses of the assault made
by Gloomy Gus O'Brien upon Bd Rus
sell at Juneau Saturday night, who ar
rived on the Georgia, state that O'
Brien struck Russell while the latter
was sitting in a chair playing cards.
They say that the blow cam? abso
lutely without warning and that Rus
sell was knocked to the floor, with
an ugly gash over his left eye.
Despite this handicap Russell arose
to his foet and grappled with O'Brien
carrying hliu to the Door, The men
ttruggled together In a clinch for a|
few moments with O'Brien on top,
while Summers and Shattuck prevent-;
<h1 Town Marshal Harris and other
bystanders from Interfering.
When Russell finally succeeded In
getting on top of O'Brien, C. F.
Cheek, a druggist, promptly pulled
himell off and thr combatants were
separated.
It seems to be the prevailing be
lief In Juneau that O'Brien wed
brass knuckles and public sentiment
Is all in favor of Russell.
