Williams Speaks In Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, October 25.-John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi faced a house
crowded to the doors when he addressed
a democratic mass meeting tonight at
Light Guard armory After touching on
the trust question and the administra-
tions policy in the Philippines, Mr. VIII
liams dwelt upon Canadian reciprocity as
an issue of vital Importance, especially
10 border cities like Detroit but which
he insisted could be expected only at the
hands of the democratic party.
your republican candidate for con-
gress from Detroit individually favors
Canadian reciprocity" said Mr. Williams,
but down at Washington he would be
no more than a few grains of sand in the
rope of republican policy. And l want
to say that the weakest and least infu-
ential memter in congress is the man
who belongs to party and does not vote
with it,"
Mr.. Williams declared the people OF
Canada and the people of the United
States were homogeneous in almost every
respect If the question had arisen, he
said, certainly no democrat would OBJ
ject to the admission of Canada as a
part of the United States. And he added
that republicans who wanted to expand
ten miles away could not consistently
object He merely mentioned this he
said. to show the absurdity of object
tions to Canadian reciprocity.

CONDUCTOR KILLED
BY NEGRO PORTER
PRISONER is SECRETLY CARRIED
ACROSS COUNTRY IN ARKANSAS
TO ESCAPE A MOB WHICH
THREATENED TO LYNCH HIM.

Little Rock, Ark, October 25-P. A. At
wood, a passenger conductor employed
by the St. louis, iron Mountain and
southern railroad was shot and killed to-
day near Farrell station, fifteen miles
east of Little Rock by Houston Hooker,
the negro porter.
The tragedy occurred on the Pine Bluff
Little Rock accommodation train. Hooker
was arrested and brought to this city for
safe keeping. His alleged grievance
against Conductor Atwood was that the
latter slapped him In the face after rep
rimanding him on the ground that he
had been inattentlve to passengers. The
conductor and porter, according to the
porters statement, exchanged angry
words before the conductor struck him.
The shooting followed an hour later
An attempt was made this afternoon to
take Hooker to Benton. the county seat
of Saline county, in which the shooting
occurred Before the train reached the
city limits of Little Rock the officials ac-
companying Hooker took him on the
train, fearing trouble on the cars. A
small party tried TO take the negro from
the officers after they had left the train
but the attempt was frustrated. Tonight
the whereabouts Of the negro Is only
known to the authorities An effort TO
lynch the negro will likely be made II he
can be reached by a mob

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
DENIES REGENT CHARGES

vidual members of the Standard Oil COM
pany have been and are interested as
individuals In various enterprises, but this
is entirely outside of the business of the
Standard Oil company, which alone deals
In oil, unaffected by other interests in
which its stockholders may invest.
Neither is It true that the Standard
Oil company's president Mr.. John d.
Rockefeller, or any other officer Of the
Standard Oil company, has taken part In
securing the nomination Of any of the
candidates for office, as is so positively
stated Furthermore, 1t is entirely untrue
that there is any Standard oil party
banded together for speculation in stocks,
as so commonly charged. Inc name of
the Standard Oil company Is frequently
used by designing persons in the manip-
ulation OF the stock market, but its use
is unwarranted. The Standard Oil COM
pany departs from its usual custom In
making this denial for the reason that
the statements made at this time by
newspapers, magazines and sensational
public speakers. appear to be unusually
mendaeous. and may to a great extent
mislead the public"

London, October 25.-"I thank God that
the day has come when neither the Brit

tonight elicited loud cheers when he re-

Others of note.
Lord Selb ,urne in proposing the Amer

Selbourne amid loud cheers, the perpe-

no more doubt that l am standing

Glowing Tribute to Navy.
Lord selborrne proceeded to pay a
glowing tribute to the American navy
and emphasized instances of cooperation
between the British French and Ameri-
can navies Il say on behalf of the Brit

Selbourne, that there Is nothing but

too frequent visits to British waters
Rear Admiral Lamten declared he could
never believe any naval officer, Russian
or otherwise, would do dastardly act In
tentonally. Naval officers sometimes
make mistakes; but, said Admiral Lamb

"It would be almost impossible to desig-

Bryan addressed a large meeting in front
of the city hall here tonight. Mr.. Bryan
spoke of reforms that were needed by the
government and declared them to be vital
issues of the campaign. He said:
''The election of a democratic ticket
will hasten every reform by removing
overshadowing issues. A republican elec-

publican victory will not only continue
the issues that are now absorbing atten-
