of his name against the man who has
advanced him because of his ability
and without thought of anything ex-
cept the good of the country The
Presidents friends go far her and
doubt the existence of imp rtant op.
position, other than that of the specu-
lative interests of Wall Street, to
him or to his admin stration, and be-
lieve the Wall Street opposition to
be founded on misconceptions which
Secretaries Taft, Root, and Hay will
not indorse and which time will in
evitably correct.
4 If there is real opposition, however,
the President will meet it on the
grounds and with the issues he has so
ably presented to the country. His
policy with regard to the problems
presented nv capital and labor h as
been well illustrated by his action in
the coal strike, which resulted in it's
settlement and by his support of the
great Northern Securities merger case.
He is not radical IN his views. He
believes in labor unionism. He also
believes in corporations. But he be-
lieves that neither the union nor the
corporation should be allowed to in
fringe upon the rights of other organ
izations or of thu people. AS he said in
his annual message:
'We recognize that this is an era of
federation and combination, in which
great capitalistio corporations and la
Dor unions have become factors
of tremendous importance in all in
is given the far-reaching, benefcent
work which has been accom- plished
through both corporations and unions,
and the line as between different cor.
porations, as between different unions,
is drawn as 1T is between different in.
dividuals; that is, it is drawn on con-
duct, the effort being to treat both
organized capital and organized labor
alike; asking nothing save that the
interest of each shall DO brought into
harmony with the interest of the gen.
eral public, and that the conduct of
each shall conform to the fundamental
rules of obedience TO law, of individ-
ual freedom and of justice and fair
dealing toward all No man
is above the law and no man is below
it; nor do we ask any mans permits
sion when we require him to obey it.
Obedience to the law is demanded as
right, not asked as favor"
If Hanna or any other man cares to
take issue with the President on his
stand with regard to the trusts, let
him beware. The President meai S
every word he says and the people
know it, and they are with him. A
candidate against him must have
something more than the support of
Wall Street to defeat him. The word
and the deed go together with him.
Whether it be the coal strike, the
| Venezuelan trouble, the Alaskan
boundary dispute. the prosecution of
the merger case, or the Panama canal
question that is considered, his course
has always been marked out and fol-
lowed, not with the idea of playing
politics but of doing the best possible
for the country. The record of the
eyenttnl year just passed shows how
we'll his actions have served their
purpose.

ANOTHER DISEASE.

Crime, according to Clarence S.
Darrow, is a disease, and is caused by
cold weather, as we'll as by other
things
Some like to talk of aches and pains,
OF feyers, rashes, faints, and chils,
Appendicitis, broken legs
Or medicine or doctors bills
Some tell you how the first warm day
Will aggravate their 'rheumatiz;"
Cold weather, all safe blowers say,
Is sure to make them look for
biz "
Some get you in a corner, then
Go on for hours in feeling tones
Describing how sciatica
Plays hurdle races through their
bones.
And now the footpad may request
While you before his pistol squirm IN,
That you hear all about his guest
The microscopic holdup germ.
Dyspeptics often make you tired,
When crabbedly they brsg and
boast
About the many, many days
Through which they have survived ON
toast.
What if the burglar, in the night,
Should stand beside your bed, and
grin,
And tell you. ere you lost your
fright,
Just how his illness first struck in ?''
Gold weather causes crime, indeed,
AS we'll as frostbite Oh the nose,
Cold in the head, toothache, and all
The ohilblsins that affect your toes.
o, what future waits for US
Are we hereafter to be told
AS many cures for crime as now
We're given remedies for cold?

 MADE IN PIG IRON
NO. 2 BIRMINGHAM HAS BEEN WELL ESTABLISHED AT $15, WITH $1s.5o QUOTED BY IMPoR- TANT INTERESTS.

Cleveland O., November T.-The Iron Trade Review this week says;
 Heavy anticipatory buying in certain steel products has been the feature Of the past week and accompanying this movement has been further adVahce in pig iron.
 The announcement of the manufact- urers' meetings in New York this week to act on prices on steel billets, bars and rlates proved a wonderful stimulus to inquiry. The efforts of buyers to cover for the first six months of next year and the persistent unwilingness of steel manufacturers to accept contracts ahead on some products and the advancing of prices for forward delivery on others show a reversal of the whole situation in a few weeks. Doubts as to the fin- shed material market following the lead of pig iron are now largely disspated. At the New York meeting Tuesday the billet pool fixed the price of billets at s21. Pittsburg an advance of $1.5O.
 Billet Inquiry has been heavy and a Lumber of contracts have been closed at $1 to $1.5O above the $1950 Pittsburg basis.

 Removal.
WANTED MAN REMOVED

New York, November 17-With four of the twelve men who are to decide her fate already selected, the trial of Nan Patterson. the former show girl, charg- ed with the murder of Caesar Young. the wealthy horseman. was continued in the criminal branch of the supreme court today. The greatest care has been used in the examination of the talesmen and the exhaustive questioning and almost indiscriminate challenging for even the slightest cause indicated not only that another full court day or even more might be consumed in filling the jury box but that the panel of 100 talesmen might be exhausted before the task was finished.
 Miss Patterson seemed in very good spirits when she entered the court room today and a brief chat with her counsel before the trial was resumed added to her apparent cheerfulness. MT. Levy in- formed the defendant that the morning mall had brought him letter which might have an important bearing on the case. What the letter contained was not divulged. The defendants father occupied a seat near his daughter.
 John Millin who was Caesar Young's racing partner, and who 1t is understood will be one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution was made to sit in the rear of the court room upon request of the prisoner. Millin had a seat near the bar enclosure, and had been watch ing Miss Patterson closely for sometime when she asked that he be ordered away from the rail. AS Millin passed the de- fendant in going to the rear of the court room, she shrank back on her fathers shoulder
 An eye witness to the shooting of Young was discovered in a most un- usual way today while the trial was in progress. Archibald J. c. Anderson, one of the men summoned for examina- tion as to his qualifications to serve on the jury. was being questioned by Assis- tant District Attorney Rand when he asked permission to speak with Justice Davis who is presiding at the trial. After whispered conversation, counsel for the prosecution and defense were called to the bench, and a moment later Ander- son was excused and joined counsel for the prisoner, within the bar enclosure. Daniel J. O'Reilly, one of Miss Patter- sons attorneys, said that an eye witness to the shooting had been discovered. In- formation to this effect had been com municated 10 Justice Davis by MT. and Mrs. Anderson.
 When court adjourned seven jurors had been selected.

Great Energy Displayed.

Che Foo, November 1L-9:30 p. m.-The sharpshooters of both sides occupying the pits, converse with each other and ire auently make individual truces in order to borrow cigarettes or to relieve their cramped limbs.
 The Japanese are displaying great en- ergy in the construction of trenches and the mounting ef guns.
 All the .'ailroad steamers belonging to the Russians, except the steel screw transport Amur have been sunk by Ja- panese shells. The hospital ship An gara formerly a transport has been sunk in shallow water. The patients are still on board the ship and are comfortable.
 The Japanese shells directed against the harbor are fired with remarkable ac- curacy.
 Recently a silk-clad Chinaman who was seen travelling in a sampan, was watched by the Russians, who observed that following the discharge of each shell he placed a handkerchief to his nose and then into his left pocket. occasionally varying these movements, apparently thus signaling the landing places of the shells. The shells fell behind Instructions which fact prevented the Japanese obtain ing a direct view of their effect.
 The Chinaman was hanged
 One day last week hospital ship moved too near the battleship in the harbor. whereupon the Japanese dropped small shells around her with the obvious pur- pose of warning her away. The ship took the hint and when she was outside the zone of danger, large shells began falling near the battleships.

PROMINENT MAN
 TRAMPLED UPON
JOHN G. HEcKsHER IS RUN DOWN AT HORSE SHOW AND BADLY INJURED BY THE HORSES OF MRS. LADEW.

New York, November 17.-Spectators were thrown into intense excitement at the horse show in Madison Square Gar den tonight, when John John c. Heck sher, secretary of the National Horse show association of America, was run down and trampled upon by a pair of horses on exhibition in the ring. Before the excitement passed away, several wo- men fainted. Many believed that MT Hecksher had been killed, as half con- scious he was dragged from under the hoofs of the horses.
 In the ring at the time were the horse Buster Brown and the Katzen1ammer Kid, driven by Mrs. Edward R. Ladew of Glen Cove, L. l.
 Mrs Ladew had pulled up from rapid gait, and MT. Hecksher in trying to go to the judges stand in the center of the ring attempted to pass in front of them, when one of the horses lunged forward and 1t upset In an instant MT. Heck sher was down and the animal was trampling him. His head and shoulders were struck several times by the horse hoofs. When help reached him he was almost unconscious, his face was cut in several places and he was bleeding profusely.
 MT. Hecksher was at once removed to his home where fear was expressed that he may have concussion of the brain of a fracture Of the skull.

Report Considered Ridiculous.

St. Petersburg, November I.-At the foreign office the Associated Press learns there is absolutely no cause for the alarmist reports regarding the hitch Tn the Anglo Russian convention which It Is confidently expected will be removed, and a full agreement reached within lew days.
 The report that Ambassador Becken- dorff will be recalled Is ridicule1. The situation is explained as follows;
 Russia provisionally accepted the text of the convention in English as submitted by Great Britain but when it was trans lated exception was taken to the phrase ology, particularly to the portions refer ring to the determination Of tine question of blame, Russia contendng that the con yention's text did not cl sar,y raise the question of any blame which might at tach to the other side. Exception was also taken to the language relating to the firing upon the fishermen, which, as worded, left the impression that the Rus sian ships knowingly fired rron them. Consequently Russia prepared an en- entirely new text in French, which was submitted but was reested by Great Britain; then after some exchanges in which French assistance vas acknowl- edged, an arrangement was reached that each side should submit new texts. from which no difficulty IS anticipated in reaching a final conclusion. One of the points agreed to is preamble for a sup plementary article whiah will lay town the procedure for this convention. and for inquiries of kindred nature, the necessity for which may er'ss in thc future be- tween the two countries. The conven- ton, therefore. pr Jmises to mark an iJn- portant step n The relations ietween the two countries. creating through The Hague convention sort of permanent arrangement for solylng similar misun-

CHEERED FOR Z MINUTES

San Francisco November 1.-The Chi cago Federation's fight was threshed out on the floor of the convention during the afternoon session of the American Federation of Labor and after hot and acrimonious debate, lasting two hours and a half the matter was finally re- ferred to the committee on local and fed erated bodies with instruction that re- port be rendered at the earliest possible moment.
 Delegate Dole made an impassioned speech in behalf of the federation. The leaders seemed disposed to side-track the question. John Mitchell, who occupied the chair in place of President Gompers. saying he would consider any motion to refer or defer the matter. The point at issue rested upon the refusal of the fed- eration to comply with demands of the American federation to expel two local Chicago unions. The basic principal of the whole dispute rested on a question of trade iourneyman The United Plum ters of the two Chicago unions in ques- ton were not affiliated with the national body. They were upheld by the execu- tive council of the American federation but the Chicago federation persisted in disregardin8 -the-ruling and allowed two. seeding unions to affiliate with the cen tral body. The Chicago federation was thereupon expelled from the national body until such a time 1t saw fit to com ply with the edict of the executive coun- eli.
 The Chicago delegates were desrous of making a motion to the effect that the committee appoint a special com mittee to tourney to Chicago as soon as possible after the final adjournment of the convention and study the situation at first hands. In the interim, they de- sired that William Schardt president of the Chicago federation, and delegate of that body to the convention, be seated. This was designated by the opposition IS a mere subterfuge and cheap political trick, and was over-ruled. The debate was finally stopped by motion, carried by bare majority, setting 4:10 o'clock IS limit, after which no speeches on the question could be delivered.

Panama, November 1.-The treaty be- tween the Urited States and Panama has prevented one more revolution in the isthmue.
 The rumored coup d'etat of the mili- tary element it seems was more serious than it was at first thought to be. Min ister Darrell after a consultation with the Panamanian government, and Gen. eral Davis, commander of the canal zone, decided to ask Admiral Goodrich to leave one of the warships of the United States Pacific squadron here to prevent any pos sible disturbance.
 There are a hundred marines from Elm pire camp here now. The minister of war has announced his intended resignation which will clear the political crisis. Though no disturbances are feared in the present circumstances Panama is greatly excited.

". H. TAFT CONFERS
 WITH PRESIDENT
MR. RoosEVELT'S MESSAGE IS ABOUT READY AND WILL BE CONSIDERED AT THE CABINET MEETING TODAY.

Washington. November 17.-Secretary of War Taft had a conference with the president today regarding MT. Roose- velt's forthcoming message to congress. The president is devoting considerable time each day to work on his message and 1t Is likely at tomorrow's cabinet meeting he will be able to present a pretty careful draft of the document
 While the president has considered with members of his cabinet and with some members of congress the subject of revision of tariff. the consideration thus far given the matter has not been of serious nature. It can be said au- thoritatively that he will not discuss the subject in his message. The concensus of opinion as expressed to the president is that If the tariff is to be revised the work should be taken up at an early date but thus far no decision has been reach ed in regard to the matter.
