A WORD ON TRUSTS
The President Speaks of the Octopus
in a Talk at Wheeling,
West Virginia.
The Progress Must Be by Evolution
Rather Than by Rev.
olution.

Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 6.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived over the Bal
titnore & Ohio at $3.50 a. m. He was
greeted by vast crowd and smiled his
appreciation despite a badly discolored
face. His right cheek was rather badly
swollen and confused, and hns left eye
showed ingns Of discoloration.
The party and local committee entered
vehicles and were driven to the Mcclure
House, headed by military band. Along
the entire route the enthusiasm was
marked. The streets were filled with peo-
pie from western Pennsylvania, eastern
Ohio and West Virginia. At the hotel the
chief executive met delegation of the
prominent citizens of Wheeling, introduced
by Senator Scott. President Roosevelt
seemed in a jovial humor. Later he ad-
dressed an enormous crowd from the bal
cony Of the hotel. The president said in
part:
1T seems to me that in dealing with
this problem of the trusts (perhaps it
would be more correct to call it a group
of problems), we have to class all of our
fellow citizens. One is composed of those
men who refuse to admit that there is any
action necessary at all. The other is COM
posed of those men who advocate some
noneffective action, or which, if effec-
tive, would be effective only by Destroy
ing everything good and bad connected
with our Industrial development
'In every governmental process, the
aim that people capable Of selfgovern-
ment should steadfastly keep in mind is
to proceed by evolution rather than by
revolution. (Applause). On the other hand,
fevery people that has self government
| must beware of this fossilization of mind
| which refuses to allow of any change as
conditions change.
"Now in dealing with the problem Of a
change in our great industrial civilization,
| with the tendency which has been accen-
tuated to an extrao binary degree by
steam and electricity and by the tremen-
dous upbuilding of industrial enterprises
I think we must set before ourselves a
desire not to accept less than the pOssi-
BILE, and at the same time not to bring
ourselves to a complete standstill by de-
manding the impossible
mo one can dam the Mississippi. If the
nation started to dam it, time would be
! wasted. It would not hurt the Mississippi
| it would only damage the population along
the banks. You cannot dam the current
you can build 1evees, and keep the current
| within bounds and shape it's direction
Now think that is exactly what we car
do with these great C@'porations, known
as trusts. We cannot I'm them, we can
not reverse the industrial! tendencies of the
age If you succeed in doing it, then tf1s
cities like: Wheeling will have to go out
of business. Remem that. You cannot
control and regulate them SO that they will
do no harm. (Applause)s, A food comes
down the Mississippi river You cannot
stop it, you can guide between levees, sc
as to prevent its doing injury, so as tc
| insure it's doing good.

LORD WON'T TALK
He Is Now in the Hennepin County
Jail, but Has Little to
Say. .-r
He Says, However, That He Is Glad
the Chase Is Over-Was
Tired of It.

William D. Lord charged with embez-
cling $4,000 from S. H Hall & Co. is now
a prisoner in the county pail He arrived
IN Minneapolis last night from Independ-
ence, Kan, in charge Of Deputy Sheriff
10th. He made no fight and came back
without requls1tion papers. He has not
yet secured an attorney, and declines to
discuss the charge made against him.
When taken, he said he was glad OF it,
because he was tired of constantly run
ming from one place to another, with Of
ficers Of the law always on his track.
Cur1ously enough Lord was captured
in the home Of Charles Mum, near Cof-
feyville, Kan, in the very house that af-
torded shelter to the Dalton gang, fol-
lowing their raid upon a Coffeyville bank.
In the civil war, Mum was orderly for
Captain Lord, father of the young man
now under arrest; and his respect for the
1ather led him to serve the son. The
Mum place is difficult of access, and the
two men could have held it easily against
a considerable force, but no resistance
was attempted, although both were
armed. When the deputies entered the
house they found two revolvers upon the
table. Near them were number of cart
ridges. The guns had belonged to the
Dalton boys.
Everett, WASH, but made his escape be-
fore Deputy 10th, who had been sent at
ter him. arrived upon the scene. He told
the Washington officials that his wife was
i'll and asked permission to see her. Ac-
companied by two deputies he went tc
his home and then, as the officers re-
mained outside, he hurriedly packed a
grip, left by the back door. mounted his
wheel and rode away From Everett he
went to Seattle, to Portland, and thence

SEE ST. PAUL BATHS
Minneapolis Council Will Make Trip
of Inspection to Harriet Island
Tuesday Afternoon.
Four Aldermen Express Approval of
the Plan to Build Baths in
Old City Hall.

DR.. Justus Ohage, the st. Paul health
commissioner, is SO interested In the sue
cess Of the municipal bathhouse move
ment now under way in Minneapolis, that
he has invited the mayor and members OF
tho city council to look over the free bath
establishment which has made him ia
nous.
In behalf of DR.. Ohage, DR.. P. M. Hall,
health commissioner Of Minneapolis, to-
day invited the city council at It's special
meeting to visit the st. Paul baths as the
guest Of DR.. Ohage Tuesday afternoon
The invitation was unanimously accepted
The street railway company has pro-
vided a special car for the trip. The car
will await the members of the council at
p, M Tuesday at Second street and First
avenue S. A German lunch will be one
of the attractions at the other end Of the
line.
VIII Be An Object Lesson.
Members Of the special council commit
tee Of thirteen appointed to consider the
proposal to convert the old city hall into
municipal bathhouse are particularly in
terested in the st. Paul trip. Those inter-
viewed this morning expressed the belief
that it would be a striking object lesson to
the Minneapolis aldermen of the need of a
similar institution in Minneapolis. AS DR..
Ohage has lready pointed out, a public
bathhouse would be much more service
|
in this climate because it would be
equally useful in summer or winter With
baths on the river st. Paul must be con-
| tent with a free plunge in summer only.
The members of the special committee
| the majority of whom agree that the city
should lose no time In accepting the gen.
erous offer made by a local philanthropist
to furnish the money needed to remodel
the old municipal building, are: 2, .a.
Alderman Dyer, chairman; Aldermen
FOell, Chatfeld Mumn, Merrill, Holmes,
Rand, McIIaskey, McCune, Larson, Peter
Nelson, A. S. Adams and Schoonmaker.
Four Aldermen Favor Project.
you may quote me as being heartily
in favor Of the proposition to use the old
city hall for the purposes outlined in
T J Urn a H. said Alderman A. S.
Adams. II have maintained all along
that the old building should be retained
by the city for some municipal purpose,
| and see no better use to which it can be
| ideal, and If a public-spirited citizen
| stands ready to donate the necessary
! money for alterations, he should not be
kept waiting"
| 1.-THE old building should be devoted to
the public good and not sold for song,"
said Alderman McCune. IF the munich
pal bathhouse proposition is feasible
and it seems to me such on its face-it
will receive my support" -.
Count on me- was Alderman Schoon-
makers response. I'VE must provide this
great. growing city with proper bathing
facilities, and this is the best solution
| of the problem advanced thus far"
| "As a member of the committee" said
Alderman Peter Nelson, II shall do al
in my power to secure the passage of a
resolution which aims to give us clean
people as we'll as a clean city,

K TOO FEW TEACHERS OUTSIDE OF TRUST
Supt. Jordan Says There Are Thirty
Vacancies in the Minneapolis
Public Schools.
Small Salaries Are Said to Be the
Reason for Dearth of In
structors,

There is a dearth of teachers in Min
neapollS schools. At the annual meeting
held in Central High School this morning
Superintendent C. M. Jordan announced
that thirty vacancies remained to be
filled between now and Monday. It is
understood that the reason for this falling
orr is small salaries. Young women with
the character and equipment necessary for
teachers are taking to professions that
pay better.
To-day's meeting. which was attended
by nearly a thousand teachers, was
opened by Mrs. George Harrison, presi-
dent of the Teachers club. She welcomed
the incoming teachers, extended the hos
p1tality Of the club and regretted that her
absence in Japan would prevent her from
being present at the building meetings,
which take place in three weeks from
now.
The keynote of D1. Jordan's address
was the paucity Of tea chers, and he called
upon those present to use their utmost
endeavors to induce good instructors to
come to the city if possible in time to
fill the vacancies. ''Thc conditions con-
fronting the board of education make it
impossible" said the superintendent, 'for
them to release those teachers who, on
account Of more advantageous offers else
where, have made application for with
drawal. The rumor that tea chers may be
released on twenty days notice is false;
contracts n1ay not be broken without
special action by the board of education.' u
The meeting then broke up into a dozen
different groups to give all a chance tc
meet their respective principals and for
planning and discussing the work of the
year. The principals met with DR.. Jor-
dan to discuss and organize a schedule fol
| the year.
At the melting Of instructors in manua
training, held under Supervisor Painter
the chief topic was the rule passed by
the board of education providing that ir
the future pupils shall buy their own in
struments, and pay for the lumber use6
| in cabinet making. A change announced
in tho course of this years work is thai
| wood carving will replace the study o.
elementary patterns among fourth tern
pupils. A general meeting of manua
| training teachers will be held next Fri
| day in the courthouse.

READY TO RETURN
But Red" Cohen Does Not Want to
~ Have Deputy sheriff's Escort "
to Minneapolis.
Threatens to Bring Habeas Corpus
Proceedings in Butte to Secure
His Release.

Red" Cohen, who is under arrest at
Butte. Mont, is much opposed to return
ing to Minneapolis under the care of a
deputy sheriff and will not do so If he can
avoid it. A special to r h e J Journ l
from Butte says that Cohen began habeas
corpus proceedings to secure his release
before the Minnesota deputy sheriff could
reach the city.
Cohen claims to be willing to return to
Minneapolis, but not in the custody of an
officer. He maintains that he was on his
way to Minneapolis when he was arrested
at Butte and that had his plans not been
interfered with, he would have been home
tonight or Sunday and would have gone
to court Monday morning to answer to his
indictment.
Captain Alexander left for Butte last
night and is expected to arrive there this
evening. When he left it was believed
that Cohen would consent to return to
Shortly after he departed Sheriff Dreger
received advices from Butte that Cohen
would fight against being brought back.
In anticipation of trouble, Sheriff Dre-
ger secured requisition papers and for
warded them late this afternoon.
M. L. Cohen Makes Statement.
M. L. Cohen, brother of Red Cohen,
said to-day:
I have had word from my brother since he
was arrested, but know that he intending
to return home and had he not been arrested
would have arrived here tonight tomorrow at
the latest. He has been in Seattle ever since
he left here, and last week went from Seattle te
Portland and then to Butte That was or
hisSway home. There is truth in the story
that he was trying to keep away from the Of
fcers. If he had been, he would not have gone
to Butte, where he we'll known. He uset
to be in business there and is known by large
number of persons in that city.
When Joe left the city last summer, it waf
not to get away from Indictment. He left
three days before his Indictment was returned
I prove that the trip was planned severa
months, and that six weeks before he left the
city he called on ticket broker to arrange fo
| transportation. That doesn't look as though ht
was trying to get away, does it?
Mr.. Cohen knew nothing of his broth :
er's plans as to resisting efforts to bring
| him back to Minneapolis.
Sheriff Dreger received requisition
papers for Joseph Cohen from Governor
| Van SAINT this afternoon.
| A dispatch from Butte says that Cohen
| appeared before Judge McClernan at IL
| o'clock to-day. Captain Alexander had
| not arrived, and the case was postponed
! until o'clock this afternoon pending his
arrival. Relatives and friends are putting
up strong fight for Cohens release

moved to the county morgue.
The body is that of a laborer about 35,
weighing about $50 pounds. A Polish

a small picture with the name "Weil K.
