TRUSTS AGAIN HIS THEME.
President Roosevelt Advises Regu-
Iation, Not Destruction, of
Combines

Wheeling, Va, Sept S.-Like to a
great river are the trusts, according to
President Roosevelt in his speech here
Saturday. The nation, the president
said, cannot dam big river without
imperiling all in it's vicinity, but the
government can, by levees and other
works, control and regulate the
stream, keep it within bounds, and
make it do it's work for the good of the
majority of the people. This simple
comparison was the feature of the
his southern trip. Mr.. Roosevelt eX-
planned in extent his ideas on the so
luton of the trust problems and in
sisted that he would make no prom
Uses he did not intend to keep. Again
he declared publicity of corporation
affairs the first step in correcting the
evils of the trust system, but he
warned his hearers that it would take
time, wise and careful work, good laws
honestly enforced, and cool Judgment
to cure wrongs in a way that would in
jure no one.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept 8.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was the guest Sunday
of the citizens of Chattanooga and
right royalty they entertained him.
He came to Chattanooga primarily to
attend the national convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and to-day he will be the guest of the
railroad men, but Sunday Chatta
nooga as whole entertained him.
From early morning until late in the
evening he was driven from one his
toric place to another, and the de-
tails Of the battles that have made
this city famous were explained to
him by men who were participants in
the struggles. The battlefelds of
Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Or
chard Knob and Lookout Mountain
were driven over. The president was
escorted by the Seventh United
States cavalry, under command of
Col. Baldwin.

MAGAZINE EXPLODES.
A Soldier Killed and Five Others In
jured at Old Fort Winthrop,
Boston Harbor.

Boston, Sept. 8.-One of the powder
magazines at Old Fort Winthrop, on
Governors island, upper Boston har-
Dor, blew up Sunday evening with a
detonation that was heard at points
20 miles away. The explosion is sup
posed to have been caused by boys
setting fires on the island. One dead
man ard five injured were brought
to the city by the police boat and,
while it is believed that this is the
extent of the casualties, it is possible
that others may be found suffering
from the force of the concussion.
The dead mans name is Cotter, but
further than this nothing is known
about him.

THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
Charles Alexander Percy, in Covered
Boat, Lands SnfeIy After I'D
Minutes in the Water.

Niagara Falls, N. ", Sept. g.
Charles Alexander Percy made voy-
age through the whirlpool rapids Sun
day afternoon. Like Peter Nissen, Of
Chicago, he used a boat This was
Perey's third trip through the rapids
and each time he occupied a covered
compartment. Percy started at four
o'clock and waved flags as he passed
the bridges and then sank out Of sight
in the compartment. The boat rode
heavily in the waves, but reached the
pool safely. When in the more quiet
waters Percy emerged from conceal
ment and started rowing His strength
was moi equal to he current and he
was swept around the whirlpool. The
manner in which he was tossed in the
air by the waves and the next minute
sucked down by a whirl was intensely
thrilling. At 4:19 o'clock Percy landed
on the Canadian side.

settlers and the land was taken ND
