FIRM FOR A TARIFF.
President Roosevelt Places Himself
UnequivOcally on Record.
In Speech at Cincinnati He Declared
That Any TInkering with the Present
Schedule "WOuld ImPerH the
Present Prosperity"

Cincinnati, Sept. %. President
Roosevelt delivered his antitrust
speech here that has been awaited
anxiously. Music hall was crowded
to the doors and there were still peo-
pie who couldn't get inside Not only
did Mr.. Roosevelt talk against tariff
reduction, but he attempted to prove
that reductions in tariff would be
detrimental to all business and would
not cnre the evils of the trusts. He
said there is only one way to deal
with the trust question, and that is
to curb the evils with legislation.
This legislation, he said, too, must
be careful, cautious legislation, that
will not bring about a panic in finan-
cial conditions. President Roose-
velt's address lasted an hour. He
frequently stopped to make local
comments and applications of points
in his manuscript, which he held in
his hand. At the conclusion of his
address he was compelled to remain
on the platform some time in re-
Spouse to demonstrations, and the
band played several pieces after he
had concluded his address, the audi
ence meantime waving handkerchief
and hats and cheering vociferously.
Speaking of the relation of the trusts
to the tariff, he said:
"The trusts can be damaged by
depriving them of the benefits of a
protective tariff, only on condition
of damaging all their smaller COM
petitors, and all the wage-workers
employed in the industry. This point
is very important and it is desirable
to avoid and save wiIlful misunder-
standing. My point is that changes
in the tariff would have little appre-
ciable effect on the trusts save as
they shared in the general harm or
good proceeding from such changes.
No tariff change would help one of
our smaller corporations, or one of
our private individuals in business,
still less one of our wage-worl1ers as
against a large corporation in the
same business; on the contrary, if it
bore heavily on the large corpora
ton it would inevitably be felt still
more by that corporations weaker
rivals, while any injurious result
would of necessity be shared by both
the employer and employed in the
business concerned. The immediate
introduction of substantial free trade
in all articles maintained by trusts,
that is, by the largest and most sue
cessfuI corporations, would not affect
some of the most powerful of our
business combinations in the least,
save by the damage done to the gen
era1 business welfare of the coun-
try; others would undoubtedly be
seriously affected. but much less so
than their weaker rivals, while the
loss would be divided between the
capitalists and the laborers; and
after the years of panic and distress
haa been lived through and some re-
turn to prosperity had occurred,
even though all were on a love-
plane of prosperity than before, the
relative difference between the trusts
and their rivals would remain as
marked as ever

LovE-CRAZED YOUTH. =
Marion Lucas, of Fairport, Mo-. In Jail and
Miss Maude Chisham Dying of
Bullet WCunds.

Maryville, Mo-, Sept. 22.-Great ex-
element prevails in this town and
village of Fairport, nine miles north,
on account of the probable fatal
shooting of Maude Chisam by her
lover, Marion Lucas, at Fairport.
Lucas, who is a young farmer, quar-
relied with Miss Chisam, a handsome
young woman OF 16 years, and fired
four shots from a revolver at her
after their return from a drive and
stroll which had been continued
from nine o'clock until midnight.
1t is generally believed in the neigh
borhood that the shooting resulted
from a mad love and the girls re-
fusal to marry her lover, although
Lucas, who is now in Jail, claims he
was driven to desperation by the
girl imploring him to marry her.
Miss Chisam is popular in school,
church and social circles.

Another Fugitive st. Louis Alderman Re-
turns and VIII Tell All He Knows
About the BoOdIInE.

st. Louis, Sept. 24.-Former Coun-
Gilman Frederick G. Uthoff, who, it
is said, was 'buncoed'' out of $45,-
600 of $4,000 it is alleged he re-
ceived for his vote on the Central
Traction bill by R. NJ. Snyder, of
Kansas City, has returned from Colo
RADIO to testify at Snyder's trial next
Monday, and was in conference with
Circuit Attorney Folk. 1t is believed
that Uthoff's return is second in i'm
portance only to the return of John
K. Murren and that revelations may
render unnecessary the testimony of
fugitive Charles F. Kelly, who is
wanted by the state as a witness
against certain millionaire bribe-
givers in the city lighting bill legis-
lation. Uthoff, it is said, received
$4,000 from Snyder for his vote for
the Central Traction bill. His name
was last on the council list and his
vote was the deciding vote. It passed
the bill which made possible the con-
solidation of the street car system.
Later Snyder, it is said, borrowed
900 from Uthoff and went to New
York, whence Uthoff followed him.
There Snyder induced Uthoff to sign
an agreement by which he accepted
$4,000 and denied that any offer of
bribery had been made.

ROOSEVELT AT DETROIT.
COief Executive Reviewed Great Military
Parade and Attended Banquet Given
by Young Veterans.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 23.-The
presidents two-days' visit to Detroit
came to an end at the conclusion of
banquet rendered him by the Span
ish war veterans, the opening of
whose third annual reunion he at
tended. 1t was a brilliant event.
Nearly 500 men sat at tables on the
floor of the big armory and the gal
leries were crowded to their utmost
capacity by acknowledgement wo-
men and their escorts. When the
president rose to begin his address,
which was the first of the evening,
he received an ovation. The men on
the flood stood up and cheered again
and again, while the cIapping of
hands from the gallery was like the
craclzle of musketry.
In his speech he strongly advo-
Gated tariff reciprocity with Cuba,
Notwithstanding the Michigan dele
cation in congress unitedly opposed
it. The president said: 81 do not
believe a particle of harm will come
to any American interest from the
adoption of a reasonable measure of
reciprocity with Cuba. I am certain
will be in the interest of our peo-
pie as a whole Above all, while
fully acknowledging the highmind-
edness and moral sincerity of those
of my associates with whom on this
point I differ, yet feel most strong
ly that by every consideration of a
generous and farsighted public pol
icy we are bound to prove to Cuba
that our friendship with her in her
struggle for the material wellbeing
is one which must underlie healthy
national dev elopment.'
The president at three o'clock par
ticipated in the parade of the Spanish
war veterans, which he later re
viewed. He was given a great pop
ular ovation during the entire after
noon. The greatest crowds ever seen
in the city lined the streets through
which the parade passed and great
wave of thunderous cheers swept
them from ened to end as the presi-
dent drove by. Excursions brought
thousands from nearby towns. For
what is believed to have been the
first time in the history of the coun-
try a president of the United States
reviewed a regiment of British
troops. The Twenty-first Essex fu-
siliers participated in the parade by
the special permission of this govern
ment and the Canadian militia de-

HE DIsARMs TROOPS.
0ncle Sans Naval Commander Is
Keeping Order at Panama.
COIOmbtans Object to Drastic Measures, But
Mclean Is Acting Under Orders from
Washington and He'll Keep Line
of TraAdc Opeu

Washington, Sept. officials of
the Colombian legation here predict
that storm of disapproval viii arise
in Colombia as a result of Com
mander McLean's action in disarming
passage across the isthmus. 1t is
stated here that Colombia's agree
ment with the Panama Railroad COM
pany specifically provides for the
transportation of Colombian soldiers
by the railroad when occasion arises,
and the commanders action is re-
garded at the legation here as a di.
rect infringement of Colombia's SOW.
ereignty over the isthmus. Com.
mander Mclean, in having the troops
transported in separate train from
their arms, is acting apparently
in accordance with his construction
of that part of Secretary Moody's in
structiOns, cabled on Saturday, which
read: ANY transportation of gov
eminent troops not in violation of
treaty and which would not endanger
transit or provoke hostilities may not
be Objectionable. The department
must rely upon your judgment to de-
cue Sucn questions as conditions
may arise from day to day.
A belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded
is held in Central and South Ameri-
can diplomatic quarters here in re-
gard to this latest, and, in point of
numbers, almost unprecedented dis
patch of naval force to the isthmus.
This belief is that the large naval
force which has been sent to keep
traffic open across the isthmus will
prevent, by it's very presence, the
continuation of hostilities along the
railroad on any extensive scale and
soon bring them to a halt altogether;
that the force has been sent there
in anticipation of an early signature
of the Panama canal treaty and that
it will be kept there to maintain or
der and quiet along the strip from
Panama to Colon, which, by the
terms of the prospective treaty, the
United States is to control.

the father ever since he was born.
Concerning him there has been much
speculation, as Mr. w. S. Stratton

son visited the father but two or
three times in his life, and arrived
in this city only after the deathSof
the multi-milIionaire.
