CIVIC FEDERATION
DISCUSSES "OPEN SHOP"
Senator Hanna to Be in Charge of Saturdays
Meeting

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Discussion Of the
question of the "open shop" by repre-
sentatives of labor and of capital took
up the greater part of the first se7sion
to-day of the National Civic Fedora
ton conference, which is endeavoring
to establish more rightful relations be-
tween employers and employees and to
end strife.
Various phases of the matter of free
dom of employment which is now agi-
tating the industrial world were pre-
sented by interested persons. The dis
cussion will be continued tomorrow,
when it will become general.
During his talk on the open" shop
to-day John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers, strongly de-
nounced the non-unionist and the
strike breaker, whom he likened to a
criminal.
Henry c. Hunter of New York, II was
announced, would be among the speak
ers on the open shop" at tomorrow
session, at which Samuel Comp RS,
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, is expected to preside. Sena-

How VinOI Creates "A Desire

"Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion

Der OF Knights Pharmacy Co.
II contains all of the active, medici-
nal-cQratiVe elements that are found in
colo liver oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so ia

simple food, and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod liver oil in it's old form the
medicinal elements which il contained
were unable to do their best work be-
cause of the obnoxious oil that en-
veloped them.
Now in Vinol we have those same
medicinal elements separated from the
vile tasting oil, and have a tonic and
rebuilder that is simply marvellous in
its action.
I'VE want every one in Savannah to
know more about our Vinol, how 1t
cures and what it cures. Certainly
Vinol is the greatest tonic and re-
builder we have ever sold.
Lack of appetite is not itself a dis
ease, but a symptom of weakness
showing itself in the nerves of the
stomach, which control the desire for
food. We guarantee Vinol will cure
this weakness or give back your
money" knights Pharmacy Co.

JAMESTOWN COLONY
TO BE COMMEM GRATED.
Plans Now Being Prepared for a
Tercentenory Exposition.

Norfolk Va, Oct. 15.-Three thous-

Tercentenary Exposition project. The
speakers were Gov. Montague of Vir-

Senators John W. Daniel and Thomas

great criticism from press and pub
lie.
ITO refuse to work with non-union
men is to no greater and to no less
extent than for a life or fire insur-
ance company to refuse certain classes
of risks, for a church to refuse mem
bership to certain classes of people,
or for any association whatsoever to
set conditions under which It will
have dealings with certain persons.
THE majority of nom unionists are
not malicious, only at the worst stu
pid and apathetic. However, there is
one group of non-unionists, the pro-
fessional strike breakers, but little
removed from the criminal classes. 1
do not mean to say that every strike
breaker Is a criminal. Some of these
professional strike breakers are form
er unionists, men who have been dis
honorably discharged from the union,
cashered for conduct unbecoming a
unionist, If not actually indicted for
defalcations or other ofenses against
the law. Others have never been in
a union and have never been defiled or
contaminated by work.
with the progress of trade unions
and their growth in strength there
probably will be a lessening In the
intensity of feeling against the nom
unionists, but no lessening in the policy
of exclusion.
'In conclusion, l believe that trade
unions have perfect legal and moral
right to exclude non-unionists, but
that this right should be exercised with
the utmost care and only after persua-
sion has been tried and has failed"

MIMIC BATTLES
TRANSFERRED. TO WATER

Newport, r. l., Oct 15.-The tests
with the submarine boats were resum-
ed to-day and with the sea calm, the
tug Peoria successfully defended her
self and technically struck and in
jured the submarine Moccasin.
The Peoria took up a position of
the lightship and with her forward
six-pound rapid fire gun manned,
awaited the arrival of the Moccasin
The wait was long one, as the Moe
casin was running submerged for over
an hour, coming to the surface occa-
sionally to allow of observations being
made as to the location of the Peoria.
When about 400 yards from the tug
up came the Moccasin with the suns
rays striking full on her coming tow
er glass. This gave the tugs gunners
a fine opportunity for a sight. A dunn
my cartridge was fired and the sub
marine was declared struck and in
jured.

HORSEMEN PROTEST
AGAINST USE OF
WIND SHIELDS.
Continued from Third Page.


game. I might say that the fastest
mile ever made by bicycle rider alone
on a track is 1:5S rs, whereas behind
a pacing machine fitted with a wind
shield he has covered a mile in 1903,
travelling more than fifty miles an hour.
Another incident that proved the mark
ed advantage of wind shields was the
ride of Charles Murphy behind a train
on the Long Island Railroad a few
years ago. He travelled a mile behind
a car fitted with a special hood in 0:57%,
and at the finish was unable to get out
of the suction and we had to lift the
man and his bicycle aboard the train.
Although l may be wrong, I think
that the wind shield will result in a
general breaking of records for the en-
tire year to come, and it is record
breaking that interests the public. Peo-
pie who attend race meets are little
concerned as to just how records are
broken just so long as a horse travels
faster than he ever travelled before in
his history. To interest the public
means bigger attendance at the race
tracks, greater interest in the per-
formances of horses and a greater de-
mand for light harness horses in gen.
eral; in all of which the track owners
are as vitality interested as any one
else who loves the trotter.
Il first suggested the idea of a wind
shield to our president, Mr.. James But
Ter, and subsequently turned over plans
for it to our superintendent, Mr.. Trea-
nor. l am now planning a wind shield
of a little different nature from the
one used at our fall meeting, and feel
sure it will prove of at least f1ve sec
onds advantage to any horse that can
be properly rated to go behind 1t"

PILGRIMS SOCIETY
DINED AMERICANS
Lord Roberts Proposed Health to King and
President
President

London, Oct. 15.-The dinner given
by the Pilgrims Society to the Alaskan
Boundary Commission at Claridges
Hotel tonight, proved the most not
able assemblage of Euglishmen, Amer
leans and Canadians ever brought to-
gether in London. In addition to the
members of the commission the Brit
sh cabinet ministers, the American
ambassador and most prominent rep
resentatives of English public life were
present.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts presided.
On his right sat Ambassador Choate
and on his left Lord Chief Justice AL
verstone. Lord Lansdowne, Sir Stanley
Clarke the Kings equerry, and Sec
rotary of War Elihu Root sat at the
same table, while the other guests were
distributed at small tables around the
room. The Englishmen present were
their decorations and orders, Lord
Lansdowne and Lord Roberts having
the blue ribbon of the Order of the
Garter. The other guests numbered
in all about 100.
Lord Roberts proposed the health Of
King Edward and President Roosevelt
in a united toast, which met with a
cordial reception. He then proposed
THE Alaskan Boundary Commission"
to which Lord Alverstone replied, say
ing that the meeting of the commission
ers would stand as a monument of the
feeling evinced in America and Great
Britain to settle their differences by
a common sense method.
Ex-United States Senator Turner and
the Hon. Clifford Sifton, Canadian
Interior Minister answered for their
respective countries, the latter sayir s
that no greater crime could be c0n-
ceived amidst human nature than
trouble between Great Britain and the
United States.
Proposing the health of the Anglo
Saxon race, Foreign Secretary Lord
Lansdowne claimed that 1t had done
more than any other nationality to pro-
mote the arts and literature and just
and equal government. He said: II
may prophesy that our contribution
towards the happiness and the good
government of the world will not he

TRIED TO BLOW UP
BRITISH LEGATION.

London, Oct ia Pekin dispatch
to the Times described a mysterious
attempt to blow up the magazine of
the British legation Tuesday night
during a military ball. Wires were
laid, but were not connected with the
battery. At the same time the breech
blocks and sights of a A. gun were
stolen, but have since been discovered
in the native city.
The Times, after mentioning that
such an outrage at the moment the
officers were giving ball might have
had disastrous effects, points out the
coincidence of this attempt with the
British legations recent refusal to at
tend the Empress Dowager's enter
tainment at the summer palace, and
thinks the coincidence suggestive.

lienn Club.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE new club
house of the Republican Club was for
mally opened tonight. The ceremonies
were attended by Gov. Odell, Senator
Depew, Secretary of the Navy Moody
and other prominent guests.
A letter of regret was read from
President Roosevelt in which he said
that the individual can only work eff
GENTLY in combination with others and
added: Your club is the kind OF or
ganization which opens a peculiarly
broad field for such work in combina-
ton, by men who are disinterestedly
anxious for success, not only for the
principles in which they as members
Of certain party believe, but for the
principles in which all men OF what
ever party must believe, If they are
good citizens.
ITO body like yours I know l can
always appeal, not only for support
in a contest, political or economic, but
also for support in every effort to

Secretary Moody in a lengthy adj
dress, said among other things: I'VE
shall soon be in the midst of another
national campaign. Indeed, in a sense,
it has already begun. We have sele t.
ed our candidate. 1t is determined as
certainly as anything can be which is
not yet done, that as our candidate for
the presidency we shall nominate Theo-
dore Roosevelt. And the spirit and
progress of our platform will be the
continuance of the policies OF 1896 and
1900 He who would undertake to pre-
dict either the candidates or the plat
form of our opponents would be bold
man."
Continuing he said: Another prin-
ciple to which l may allude--if there is
one man above another, that man is
Theodore Roosevelt, who stands for the
great principle Of the equality OF
rights. He has not only declared for 1t,
but he has acted upon IL. Observant
Of his oath Of office, he has exacted
alike from those who are powerful. on
account of their wealth and those WHO
are powerful on account OF their num-
bers, a respect and obedience of law"

New York, Oct. 15.-The entire time
at to-days hearing of the United
States Shipbuilding Company investi
cation before Referee Oliphant was
given up to the taking of testimony
covering the incorporation and organi-
cation of the company in New Jersey.
Frederick Seward, Horace Gould and
Kenneth McLaren, young men connect
ed with the Corporation Trust Com
pany of New Jersey, who acted either
as incorporators or directors of the
shipbuilding combination, were called
to the stand and questioned at length
as TO the circumstances under which
they served the promoters of the enter
prise.
Frederick Seward, who had served as
director, was questioned for three
hours, the inquiry covering his connec-
ton with the company from the time
Alexander and Green asked him to
serve as a director until he resigned
when the permanent officers were
elected
His stay on the stand was prolonged
because he would not admit that he
was a mere dummy" acting under the
orders of the counsel of the company
He held that he had used his independ-
ent judgment in voting on the many
important questions determined by the
directorate when he, Louis Daley and
Harold Newman, of the Corporation
Trust Company, were the three men,
bers of it.
Didn't Know Anything.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
bondholders, questioned him at length
with the object of showing that he had
not paid for the share of stock that he
held, that he knew nothing of the value
of the properties acquired by the votes
of himself and his associates, and that
everything done by the directorate
was at the instance of counsel and the
mere formal carrying out of orders.
Seward admitted that he did not
know the location of the plant, nor the
character of the business of the Har-
Ian Hollingsworth Company, Moore &
Sons, and the Canada Company, and
said that he was under the impression
that the Bethlehem plant was located
at Homestead.
Seward and the other temporary di-
rectors acted upon the increase in the
capital stock of the company from So
100000 to $45,000,O00, voted for the issue
of securities to the amount Of 81 00O,-
600 and decided other matters of i'm
portance and the testimony of to-day
indicates an intention to attack the
validity of all those transactions.
1t is claimed that the original direc-
tors were simply dummies" and
that while the forms of the law were
closely followed at all of the meetings,
none OF the directors was properly a
holder of stock and that none of their
acts was of legal value.
The hearing went over until next
Wednesday, Oct. 81, when Lewis Nixon
will take the stand. He was sworn
1t the close of the hearing to-day, but
did not give any testimony.

working shoulder to shoulder, giving
an example to the world of the mode Of
settling differences. Human natures
are fallible and we must have our little
differences from time to time, but an
appeal to force is unthinkable."
Applause greeted this utterance.
Lord Lansdowne continued: I'VE
are apt to cherish differences and
leave it to mischief mongers to ex-
aggerate them, but surely we Anglo
Saxons cannot afford to allow this"
The British Foreign Secretary then
paid tribute to the late Sir Michael
Herbert and added President Roose-
velt's tribute to Lord Pauncefote that
he did his business as an honest gen.
tleman.
Let us follow that motto" con-
cluded the Foreign Minister. in pub
lie and in private. Let us do our
business as honest gentlemen. con-
fident of the great honor which the
Anglo-Saxon race deserves of the
world"
Jacob NJ. Dickinson of the American
counsel, in responding, referred to the
Afro american and other elements
composing the American population.
Mr.. Root referred to the endeavor TO
promote army reforms on DO h sides of
the Atlantic. The American people. he
said, had inherited from Great Britain
the ingrained distrust of a standing
army, which had led the British 20
limit their army appropriation TO an
nual votes and similarly, in the Ameri-
can constitution, the appropriation was
limited TO two years. The people or
America had inherited the spirit Of
civil control of the military arm. On
both sides of the Atlantic during the
past year. the ever recurring problem
of reconciling civil and military expert
opinion and authority had been the
cause OF difficulty and of inefficiency.
MIR. Root said that by creation Of a
general staff he hoped that the United
States had solved the problem and he
trusted that Great Britain would be
similarly fortunate. Mr.. Root said he
was proud to put the American army
side by side with the British army, the
characteristic Of the latter being thar
it did not fight for tyranny, oppression
or conquest, but for progress. lib ny
and construction, not destruction
which always followed in the wake OF
the British arms.
Lord Roberts briefly thanked Secre-
tary Root and the proceedings then
ended. y
