CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-"The leaders in
Wall Street. including J. Pierpont Nor

at nothing to defeat Theodore Roosevelt
for President. They will continue to
make the most of every bear movement
in the market. in order 10 discredit him
with the people. as they have done in
the past and they will leave no stone
unturned TO injure him with the rank
and file OF the financial powers"
This statement was made by r F.
Woodlock. editor and publisher OF the
Wall Street Journal He emphasized
It with the corollary declaration that he
himself was a Democrat.
why do the leaders in Wall Street
want TO down Roosevelt? Because they
are afraid of him" Mr.. WoodlOck said.
They do not like such independence
as ne demonstrated in the coal strike
and in the Northern Securities matter.
They have what I call the Court Cir

ington the Development Of Machine
for Army Uses.

In a few days the first automobile
forge and battery wagon ever manufac-
tured for the army will make it's ap-
pearance on Washington streets. and
will be given a thorough test on roads
In the District of Columbia. Appli-
cation has been made to the District
Commissioners for permission to run the
strange vehicle in the District.
The wagon is nearing completion in
workshops at Jersey City. and will soon
start TO Washington for inspection and
trial under General Crozier. Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance.
Every field battery is accompanied by
a movable workshop. which is provided
with all blacksmithing tools, metal, and
other materials necessary for making
repairs. The workshop does not leave
roads and accompany the battery into
action. Consequently, IL is believed that
, an automobile wagon may well replace
a wagon drawn by horses.
The new automobile vehicle weighs
10000 pounds. and resembles van in
appearance. 1t is to be used for ex-
perimental purposes only. with a view
of developing a machine adaptable to
army uses. The permit will he made

the fact that the rate Of insurance is
somewhat lower in the District than in
a number OF the States. the insurance
