EVILS OF TRUSTS.
They Are Catalogued by Sena-
tor HOar in a Speech.

Boston, Oct Z8.-The Chickatawbut
club. Republican dining organiza ton
OF Dorchester, ratified the state ticket
last night by listening to an address by
Senator George F. Hoar.
senator Hoar. in opening, spoke words
of praise for President Roosevelt and
Governor F. Murray Crane, saying that
in the national election we are to send
men TO either uphold the president
hands, or men whose sole object in the
next two years will be to hunt him
from power. He said that the Demo-
crotic party during all its history has
been creator of grievances, never the
redresser of them.
Speaking of trusts Senator Hoar said /:
THE evils of trusts are:
.1-Destruction of competition.
1.-THE management of industries by
absent capital
"3-Destruction of local public spirit.
"4-Fraudulent capitalization.
.'5-Secrecy.
'6-Mana cement for the private ben
eft of the officers.
1.-THE power to corrupt elections and
in some cases to corrupt the courts.
S-Indifference to public sentiment
If the first, fourth and hfth can be
cured. the cure of the others. in my
opinion, will follow.
Now is it not the duty of wise sta tes-
manship to go slowly and carefully in
this matter, so we can cure or prevent
the evil without sacrificing or destroy
ing what is good?"
Senator Hoar then reviewed the Sher-
man antitrust law, and claimed that he
himself had inserted in the bill the sec
ton which declares any combination or
trust" which restricts trade to be Illegal
and which also provides for it's punish
ment.
Every suit that has been brought" he
continued, which has been successful has
been under this section
He said he would curb trusts, not des-
troy them
Senator Hoar next discussed the tariff.
saying in regard to tariff revision that it
should be made on the principles of the
protective system. He favors reciprocity,
believing it best can be secured by concur
rent legislation rather than by treaties.
The tariff never has to be revised he said,
again and again. and again, hereafter.
In conclusion Senator Hoar discussed
strikes. saying that, to him, if capital
combined he could not see why labor may
not also combine
"A republic he said cannot live if
any body of men undertake to impose
their own will upon the lawful freedom of
others. l believe the sympathy of all true
Americans is on the side of labor and its
attempt to better its condition. Capital
and wealth will in the end take care of
themselves

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Sullivan and Mack and that dainty
coincidence, Maize Trumbull. will be
at the New Crawford tonight. when
they will appear in their Irish farce
to be by far the best thing they have
attempted. Among the special features
of THE Irish Bawnbrokers, the scenic
and mechanical effects and costumes
demand more than ordinary comment.
A line of up-to-date specialties punctu-
ates the course of the farce. IN point

He comes to the New Crawford tomor-
row night, with first floor prices at
$1-50 and 81, balcony IS cents and so
cents, and second balcony so and 25
cents.
The line of purchasers which was in
evidence this morning at Flad's drug
is aroused over the coming of Amelia
Bingham's special company in "A Mod
ern Magdalen.' This powerful and
graphic play, which will be recalled as
a sensation of the spring season in New
York, will be brought here in it's en-
tirety While modern in theme and ac-
ton, a lavish expenditure has been Civ

the women are said to be exquisite. In
the course of a column review the st.

the emotional intensity which it arouses,

ranged that over half the lower floor of
the Grand is reserved at 81, the rest at
$3.50 and the balcony at 70 and so cents,
for Thursdays performance.

STEAL PANAMA HATS.
Valuable HeadgeaT Easy Prey for the
Light-Fingered Gentry.

LASnt-E fingered OS4LIy.
A new industry has opened for the
criminal specialist. It is the stealing OF
Panama hats. Panama hats costing all
the way from SO to 800 make good
prizes for thieves. They are SO easy to
carry away. A Panama hat may be
rolled up and tucked under q coat and
carried without Tousing the suspicious Of
the sharpest-eyed policeman. The hat
can be cleaned and ironed and new
ribbon and sweat band put in and then II
is new hat with no proofs Of its
former ownership remaining and can be
readily disposed Of at a good price.
As consequence the stealing of
Panama hats has become almost as
much OF fad as the wearing Of them.
The police have already commenced to
look for individuals cataIogued in police
bulletins as slick Panama hat thieves. p"
A Panama hat thief disdains other
forms Of plunder. What he is after is

Of his particular line In several fats

tered by hat thieves. valuable pieces of

lain within reach of the thieves. but have
not been touched The Panama hat thief
preferred 10 take only the hat and tuck
it snugly out Of sight, and so quietly and
safely away with IL, rather than bother
with bulkier and heavier property,
which would expose him to greater risk
OF detection and could not be so readily
disposed Of
The Panama hat thieves have their
own particular fields Of operation. which,
OF course, are where the greatest num-

value OF his imitation article. II he is

the business CT the nation would be

only consent to transfer his chair and

this the dentist replied that his business
related solely 10 teeth, and not TO Gov

the community were not to be neglect

this argument, but he has smothered his

No Accident to Little Ethel.
The President is much annoyed at the
stories which have gone out Of oyster
Bay regarding the accident to little
Ethel Roosevelt while she was riding
yesterday over Sagam0Te Hill with her
brothers Archie and Kermit and little
daughter of Mrs. J. West Roosevelt. It
was reported that the President rescued
his little daughter after her saddle had
turned and her pony was funning away
Another report was that she was seri-
Ously injured by being thrown The
President was not riding with the chill
dren when the accident occurred The
saddle giTth slipped and Ethel did slip
20 the ground but she WAS not injured in
the slightest. The boys after tightening
the girth helped her into the saddle
again and she rode on as though nothing
had happened.
