TRUST CENSORED
SHOEMEN's TALKS
A. w. Rich Tells How Leather
Trust Coached Men for Meet
ing with President.
Journal Special Service.

Milwaukee, Nov. 1S.--A. W. Rich, a
leading shoe manufacturer Of this CITY,,
who was one Of the members of the Ma
tiOnal Shoe Manufacturers association
who called on President Roosevelt, says
the addresses presented to the president
had to be revised to suit the wishes OF
the United States Leather company.
of the four speakers chosen, refused
to speak. s..
The demand, he says, was made BY A.
Augustus Healy, vice president of4the
United States Leather company, at; a
preliminary meeting held in Boston,
when the manufacturers blamed the
company for the increase in the price of
Governor Douglas to the term "Leather
trust,' and declared the company was
in favor of free hides. Accordingly,
addresses on that point were revised.
Douglas Speech Censored.
"Our preliminary meeting,' said Mr..
Rich, "was called at the New Willard
hotel, with Governor Douglas presid-
ing. In his address he said that he had
would not remain if his company was
to be attacked. He also declared, he
was there in the interest Of zhavingth
tariff taken off green hides. HisIcom-
pany, he said. desired this for therea-
son that there were not enough green
hides in the country.
"Governor Douglas address was cen
sored at this point. The committee then
changed it's attitude. From declaring
: the tariff on hides to be of no benefit
except to the trust, the members shifted
| to the position that the tariff was no
injury except to the farmer. When. I
| was called on for my address I said
| would not read it, and further insult
Mr.. Healy, and could not change it ow-
| ing to my views. The revised addresses
were given to the president at the. ex-
ecutive chamber. -5a
Monopoly in Control. s Ss,,
Mr.. Rich said he intended to show
that a monopoly exists which controls
the price of hides and of leather; that
the present tariff is the principal factor
in aiding the monopoly to retain its
hold, and the only persons deriving
benefit from the tariff are the beef
packers. While hides are SO per cent
higher than they were two years ago
he said, the farmer does not get on an
AVERAGE as much pound for his cat
tie as he did then. The leather trust
he said, is nothing more or less than
the meat packers, who recently have
secured controlling interest in I the
sole-leather combine known as the
United States Leather company. ~ &=s

Princeton Takes Eighteen Innings
to Beat amherst.
Tnr TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUNE,I

Princeton N. J.. May 10.-Princeton defeated
Amherst in an eighteen inning game here this
afternoon, when Reid got one run in the
eighteenth inning with only one man out. The
game was the longest and best game played here
in many years and characterized by fast,
snappy work in the infed and sure outfelding,
covering large field. Both pitchers played an
excellent game and at time of the game Gid
either become in the least unsteady The only
base on balls Of the entire game was when D.
Doyle for Princeton, got his base off McRae in
the fifteenth inning. Donald Doyle, who pitched
for Princeton. had a little the better Of the
game, for he struck out eight men, did not give
a base on balls and allowed only seven hits
while McRae for Amherst struck out seven
gave no one base on balls and allowed ten hits
Doyle Is a senior and has played substitute
on the Tigers team for three years. This sea-
son his work has showed marked Improvement
both in the box and at bat. His great work
to-day was big surprise. and he will be
great help in the remaining hard games of the
season,
Much of the interest in to-day's contest was
due to the record of both teams Amherst has
defeated Harvard and If Princeton had been de-
feated to-day the championship would then have
rested between Amherst and Yale. Several ex-
cellent plays were made In the fourth Palmer.
at first for Amherst, jumped and caught
Cooney's fly one-handed then to first and
caught Mclean before he could get back. In
the ninth Mclean made long run over on the
track and pulled down fly, then threw to sec
ond and caught Danahey, who was sliding.
Besides these. several double plays and re-
markable one-handed stops were made.
Only a few reached second base and but
three got to third base. besides the scored run
by Reid in the eighteenth inning Captain Wells.
in the twelfth inning. was the first man to get
third. but died there on Byram's fly out The
only time the visitors came near scoring was In
the thirteenth inning, when Alair died on third
base by Palmers hit to Wells.
The eighteenth inning started with every one
alert and playing great ball, but the first three
visitors went out on flies, two outfield and one
infeld. Princeton came to bat determined to
win. McRae's fast pitching and quick curves
had been fooling them. Don Doyle was the
first man up, and hit through short and reached
first. Reid sacrificed. but Doyle was put out at
second, allowing Reid to reach first. Reid stole
second just as Danahey allowed a passed ball
and raced on to third base Helm came to bat
next and was hit by a pitched ball. Captain
Wells then came to bat and hit to second base
but Reid crossed the home plate before Kelliher
could throw home. The score follows:
