RORKHEN WATCH THR GAMES
Bat II. &H. Company Cannot Soon Be-
claim RaSpblII Field

A rumor Is current that the baseball
grounds across the bridge will not be
leased another season to the Whining
ton Athletic Association. An Evening
journal reporter called on an official
OF the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany this morning relative to the mat
ter and learned that as yet no such
stems had been taken.
The grounds are leased until about
September Of next year, and nothing
could be done before that time. The
only troubde seems to be in the fact
that the men working on the ships
have splendid view Of the baseball
diamond and cannot reeist the tempta-
tions to take frequent bird's-eye views
OF the game. thus delaying their work.

TnIRD, STREET BRIDGE ON
Street Car Tracks will Have to b.
MMed

The eastern approach to Third street
bridge has shifted so that 1t was nee
essary to jack It up and put new braces
under 1t. Since the structure has been
put in place the car tracks on the west
ern approach are found to be three
inches out Of the way. This will mean
a big job for the railway company
and will still further delay car traffic
across the bridge.
The structure will be turned on this
afternoon for foot passengers. The
landings which have been erected for
the launches will be allowed to remain
in place, except those parts that inter-
fere with the movements OF the bridge,
In case some accident should occur
which would necessitate using the land
ings again.
South Wilmington residents will be
glad to have the bridge in use again,
for they have been put to great incon-
venience.

HENDERSON OUT
With HIS PARTY
Viii Mt Accept Nomination
for Congress
VII rHORAWS FROM THE RACF
avs Trusts Cannot be Killed bV Ap-
plViRg Free Trade Without Kill
ing Home Industries
WI VHORAWS FROM THE RACF

Dubuque, Ia Sept. 17-Speaker d.
B. Henderson, finding that his views
in respect to the treatment Of trusts
by reducing the tariff in whole or in
part, are not in accord with the views
Of many OF his party in Iowa, yester-
day declined to accept the nomination
for congress. and has withdrawn from
the race. Speaker Henderson an
nounced his withdrawal after a con-
ference of several hours duration with
Chairman Glasser of the congress
sional committee, and friends yester-
day afternoon. His friends implored
him not to take the action, but to no
avail. He said he had made up his
mind. and no argument could cause
him to change his decision.
When asked for his reasons for his
withdrawal, Speaker Henderson said:
my letter to Chairman Albrook is
the whole thing in a nutshell. You
cannot kill the trusts by applying free
trade without killing our own indus
tries. The foreign trusts are fighting
the American trusts, and / do not be-
lieve that, for the purpose of controll-
ing the American trusts, we should
make a market for foreign trusts,
thereby crushing out the Industries of
this country. / concluded that my
views on the tariff question were at
variance with those OF many of my
party, and l did not desire to appear
in a false position.
For three years ! have advocated
giving control OF the trusts TO con.
gress. In my judgment, proper super
vision can never be had until con-
gress has power to treat with them. l
am glad 10 see from speeches made
| by our fearless and upright CHIEF ex,
ecutive that he is advocating federal
control over these corporauons, and
while In some quarters they may
sneer at It. I have not seen any propo-
sition yet except this. that seems at
all likely TO bring relief. No PROPOSE
ton has ever been made by the
Democracy excepting TO put every
thing on the free liet and to give the
country free trade. In other words,
they propose to kin the child in order
to cure it,"
The followias letter was addressed
to c. z. Alb-ooS, chairman OF t,c noti-
ldcation committee, by Mr.. Hcader-
son:
MY Dear sir--I have never an
Iswered the note received from you
advising me Of my nomination for the
eleventh time by acclamation as the
Republican candidate for congress Tor
the Third congressional district of
Iowa. Reported conditions in the pub
lie mind IL my district upon public
lpolicios induced me to make this de-
lay. Since my return to the district
have made a careful study as to the
sentiment in the district and state, and
believe there is no little sentiment
and a growing sentiment, among Re
publicans, that do not truly repre-
sent their views on the tariff question.
Believing this condition to exist, and
Knowing that do not agree with
many OF my people that trusts, to
(which / am and have been opposed,
can be cured. or the people benefited,
by free trade. in whole or in part, |
must decline to accept the nomination
so generously and enthusiastically
made. D. B. HENDERSON"
