BATTLESHIP is
GUARDED CLOSELY
Authorities Determined to circumvent
WouIdBe Destroyers

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Guarded by
marines with loaded rifles on board her
and on shore and with powerful cleo
trio searchlights playing over her, the
newly launched battleship Connecticut,
already the object of three serious at
tacks, lay at her station in the Brook
lyn navy yard tonight. The officers are
using every conceivable precaution
against the recurrence of the mystic
rious attempts to disable or destroy the
new war vessel and think they have
about rendered it impossible Marines
and secret service men are about her
all the time, while about the last Off
cial act of Rear Admiral Rodgers, who
turned over the command of the yard
today to Rear Admiral Coghlan, was to
make an appeal to the patriotism of
the workmen.
While the regulations governing the
construction of a. vessel are strict and
the supervision as strict, even greater
precautions will be taken in future. A
naval constructor viii be on the new
vessel until she leaves the yard, giving
his personal supervision to every de-
tail of the work. A strict investigation
involving much detective work is un-
der way.

ADVISED NOT TO SELL
LAND TO GENTILES
But Mormon President Smith Throws
New Light on His Recent Sermon

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 81
The st. George Advocate, a church pa
per, prints a sermon delivered by Pres
ident Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon
mon church, at the conference of the
ST. George stake of the church, in
which he counseled the people of the
church against selling lands to gentiles
or aiding them in any way. When
shown the report of the sermon in
question President Smith dictated the
following: ''While on my visit in the
South / learned that in consequence of
hard times many of the people in
Southern Utah were moving away. At
the conference held at St George 1 ad-
vised them to remain and encouraged
them with the hope that railway facili-
ties would soon reach them and open
up markets for their products. / said
nothing at all about gentiles or deal
ing with them. / did advise them not
to sell out their lands and homes to
their enemies. Property sold some
years ago by our people has been re-
purchased. Our policy is to be per-
manent settlers and not roamers from
place to place. That is the whole sub
stance of my. remarks on the subject
st. George, Utah, is in the extreme
southern part of the state remote from
railroads. The population is almost en-
tirely Mormon.

Orange from a cancerous growth re-
sulting from long continued persistence
in experimenting with X-ray apparatus
in the experimenting department Of
the Edison laboratory al. West Orange
For sixteen years Mr.. Daily was en-
ployed in the Edison works, where for
years continuous exposure to the mys-
terious power of the rays induced the

finally caused his death, after intense
suffering, and the amputation of both
his arms.
He continued his work until four

check the cancerous growth, but It
spread over his entire body and finally
caused his death.

PARKER WEARS HIS
WORKING CLOTHES
Democratic Candidate Gets
Buster Than Ever in New
York City

NEW YORK, Oct "A glance into
Judge Parker's private reception room
at his apartments at the Hotel Seville
reveals political workshop equipped
almost as completely as his library at
Rosemount. 1t needs only a view of
the stacks OF correspondence and inn
posing looking documents to corrob
crate the report that the Democrs ic
presidential candidate intends spending
a great deal of his time between now
and election day in New York, where
he can keep in close. touch with the
campaign.
That Judge Parker is acquainting
himself with the minutest details of
the canvass in every one of the states
placed by either party in the doubtful
column is evident from his discussions
with campaign managers. Many re-
ports are being made to Judge Parker
by individual workers which do not
pass through the hands of the national
committee and which are given his
personal attention. This work takes
SO much of his time that scores of call
ers who have no particular business
with the candidate are unable to find
ker's correspondence is attended to by
clerks. Every letter that goes out, UNI
less it be some formal acknowledgment
of service, is read and signed by the
judge.
In this political workshop the candi-
date little resembles the dignified gem
tleman so much photographed Fre-
auently he wears a bobbed off sack
coat, with elbows shiny and thin, and
he does not always change to his frock
when visitors are announced. In this
apparel he usually toys nervously with
a pen or pencil while talking to visit
ors, as if anxious to get back to his
work
This is as the newspaper men found
him today when they were admitted
for daily talk. The candidate will
discuss his personal plans, but not
questions of political character. He
has made it plain that matters which
might influence the destiny of the CAM
paign should not be answered in an Off
hand manner, as might be the case
where replies are made to question
carelessly propounded or capable Of
more than one Interpretation. He has
adhered to a policy established soon
after his nomination-that of answer
ing formally any questions vitally af-
fecting party interests. Judge Parker
found time today to answer much cor
respondence. His callers were fewer
than on any previous occasion when he
has visited New York.

SWITCHMAN KILLED
Edward Sommers Run Over
While Trying to Couple Cars

Edward Somrners, a switchman en-
ployed by the Burlington, was killed
last night at 1O30 o'clock in the yards
at the foot of Dayton's bluff. He was
coupling the air brakes between two
cars of freight train en- route to the
Minnesota Transfer when limited
freight bound for Chicago and st.
Louis struck the end of the local,
throwing him to the ground. The
wheels passed over his legs, crushing
them between the hips and knees.
Sommers was discovered a few min
utes after the accident by D. 0.
Whistler. another switchman, who
missed Sommers' lantern and went in
search of him. Sommers was severe
ly stunned and weakened from loss of
blood, but was able to speak when
Whistler found him, he died, however,
within twenty minutes, before an am
bulance could arrive.
Sommers was twenty-five years old
and unmarried. He resided at 1046
Hastings avenue. He had brother
living at st. Louis, but both his par
ents are dead. He was employed by
the Burlington three years.

CITY Raj WAY ATTORNEYS
FILE ANSWER
Hold That the Company Posses
ses the Privilege of Using Major
ity of the Streets of St. Paul With
out Any emission From the City
Council

Answering the charge Of the city that
it has no authority to occupy the
streets with its tracks, the street rail-
way company takes the ground that its
rights really depend upon the special
legislative act of 1853, in which fran
chise was granted the st. Anthony
Railroad company, and the renewal and
extension of the heretofore unusued
franchise to st. Paul Street Railway
company. After the grant this COM
pany became insolvent, and at a pub
lie sale, it is alleged, the st. Paul City
Railway company legally and rightfully
came into possession of all the busi-
ness rights of the company that failed.
Claims Old Rights
Included in this was the various acts
of the legislature giving the company
the right to use the streets and the
concurrence therein by city council of
ST. Paul. This includes what is known
as ordinance 81, which gave the COM
pany the right to use a great majority
of the streets of the city for street rail-
way purposes, known generally as the
omnibus horse car ordinance. 1t is set
out at great length that in 1886 and
1887, while the horse cars were still In
use, the company sought to test the
validity of its rights and proceeded to
construct a line on Pleasant avenue
This course was resisted by George
A. Nash and others in court. The de-
cision of the district court was against
the company, but when it was taken
to the supreme court this finding was
reversed and the company. adjudged to,
have the right to place tracks on such
streets as it saw fit, excepting only
those mentioned in the acts and ordi-
nances that had been accepted by the
company BY this decision the COM
pany claims that ordinances 81 and 26S,
the latter being amendatory, were up
held in detail and that as the company
has at no time since consented to or
accepted modification of the fran
chise then held.

The St Paul City Railway COM
pany's answer to the citys case, in
which it is contended that the COM
pany has no right to use the streets,
has been filed in the district court and
holds that the company possesses the
privilege of using a majority of the
streets in the city without any per-
mission from the city council, and as
serts that the company has in the past
secured decisions from the courts up
holding this position.
A bold stand was taken by Corpora
tiOn Attorney Michael in his amended
petition asking that the company be
restrained from constructing certain
lines without permission, and the
answer to this takes the very opposite
view, holding that in reality the city
council and city government has but
little control over the affairs of the
company, and that it is willing to have
the highest courts pass. upon the con-
tentions. The city's position is that
the company has assumed to take pos
session of large number of streets
without legal authority, and asks that
it be restrained from acting in a like
manner as to certain other thorough
fares that it apparently proposes to oc-
cupy with tracks.
important Points involved
Involved in this case are two points
of the utmost Importance to the city
and the company. Concededly the most
important is the right granted by the
charter to regulate the fare to be
charged by the company, and, sec
ondly, the right Of the city to impose a
8 pei. cent tax on the gross earnings of
the company. The latter tax would
amount to from 100000 to $4,000 a
year, and if the city council should be
adjudged to have the power the regu-
late the fares and should make the
price of ride cents the income of
the company would be reduced some
100000 a year. This is considered
conservative estimate.
The contest in the courts will there
fore be bitter and of long duration.
