GOES BACK TO
WASHINGTON.
Presidents Summer Outing Ends
on Saturday---BuSy on
His Message.

OYSTER BAY, NJ Y, Sept. %. =
President Roosevelt will complete his
summer s%ojourn at Sycamore Hill and
return to Washington next Saturday,
Sept, 30. The president, Mrs. Roose-
welt and members of their family,
Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and the MEM
bers of the executive force will leave
Saturday morning on a special over
The Long Island railroad.
The president is devoting considera-
Bile time each day now to work on his
annual message to congress. For some
time he has been assembling data for
the message, but since the adjourn
ment of the peace conference he has
been writing the data into definite
form.
Three topics highly important at
this time to the American people will
be discussed by the president in his
message. They are the federal regu-
lation and supervision of life insur-
ance, the relations between this coun-
try and Venezuela and Americas in
terest in the fiscal affairs of the gov
eminent of Santo Domingo. Other i'm
portant subjects naturally will be con-
sidered, among them the scandals dis
closed in the departments of agricul-
ture and the interior, the work of the
department of justice in the beef trust
cases, the regulation of railroad freight
rates. the progress made in the con-
struction of the Panama canal and the
conclusion of peace between Russia
and Japan.
Much of the material for the discus
sion of these subjects President Roose
welt now has in hand. and the last
days of his stay at Sycamore Hill are
being devoted to the preparation of
the part of his message which will
deal with them. Few visitors have
been received since the adjournment
of the peace conference, the president
desiring to be as free az possible from
interruption while working on his mes
sage. His last week here is practical
ly devoid of engagements.

ebriates arrested for intoxication during
the year. About 5000 were arrested

RUSH WORK ON
FERRY SLIPS.
Men at ST. George Busy
as Usual For First Time
on Sunday.

For the first time on Sunday since
the work of charging the ferry
slips on Staten Island was begun the
men doing the work were kept at il
yesterday, and it is evident that the
contractors have been ordered to
make haste. All the men who had
been working about the slips re-
ported for duty yesterday as on week
days.
The city, which has purchased the
ferry, promised the people on Stat
en- Island that the new boats would
be in operation by July l last, but
later found this would be impossible,
and then October Is was named as
the date. According to engineers
who have been watching the prog
ress of the work on the slips, it is
apparent the boats will not be run
ming until well into the winter.
The contractors say the delay has
been caused by lack of material.
Much of the wood used in the enlarg-
ing of the slips comes from the Pa
ciic Coast.

London Family, Seriously Hart.
NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. 25.-
Stephen NJ. Crocker, a member Of n
well known New London family, Is at
the Memorial hospital in a serious con-
dition as the result of u pistol shot re-
ceived while he was terrorizing the
family of George Bindloss at their
home here at an early hour in the
morning.
Late at night Croker went to the
Bindloss house. and when the door was
opened in response to his ring he push
ed his way in past the servant and met
Mrs. Bindloss and her daughter, Miss
Stella Bindloss. Their refusal to speak
to him angered him, and for several
hours he had them in a state of terror.
Mrs. Bindloss tried to get to the tele-
phone to summon her husband or the
police, but Croker prevented her from
doing so.
Mrs. Bindloss about 4 o'clock in the
morning went to her husbands room
and secured his revolver to protect her
self. AS she came down the stairs she
saw Croker beating her daughter, and
in her the revolver, which
she held in her hand, went off. The
bullet did not strike Croker, but the
shot attracted his attention from the
girl, and he turned ON Mrs. Bindloss.
In struggling with her for possession
of the weapon it was exploded again,
and the bullet entered his body under
the breastbone and indicted a wound
that probably will cause his death.
Croker left the house after a short
time and went to his home, where he
collapsed and was later taken to the
hospital. When he recovered conscious.
ness he said that two tramps shot him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blndloss went to the
police station and told the true story OF
the occurrence.

PALMA NOW
TRIUMPHANT.
Cuban MOderates Gain Sweep
Inc ViCtOry---GOVernment
FlrmneSS Says Riots.

HAVANA, Sept. 25.-Cuba has held
her first election, and the Moderate
party, under President Palma. has
gained a sweeping victory. Fears had
been expressed for several weeks that
the DAY would be fraught with great
disorder.
Ihese fears seemed justified on ac-
count Of the occurrence at Cienfuegos
OF the ARRAY at which Representative
Villuendas, Chief of Police Illance and
four others were killed.
This ARRAY, resulting in the death
of Viluendas, one Of the most popular
Cubans, instead of being the signal for
general riots throughout the island.
seems rather to have brought Cubans
suddenly to a realization that they
were playing with fire, though the
prompt dispatching of strong forces of
artillery and rurales and a general dis
play of government strength at danger
points may be greatly responsible for
the order maintained.
1t seems pretty well proved that the
Liberals there plotted to use dynamite
extensively if the elections did not suit
them, as an expert who examined
one Of the bombs found in V%illuendas'
room says they contain enough explo-
sive to blow up a whole block. Evil
dence was found that Vllluendas took
twelve bombs to C~ienfuegos, only
three of which were found. However,
twelve other similar ones, together
with other arms, were discovered in
Santa Clara.
There is every indication that Senior
Palma's forces have scored a sweeping
victory, which the Liberals, now that
the fights are over, seem to be taking
philosophically.
Liberals admit the complete victory
in Havana of the Moderates, the party
of President Palma.
Leaders are marshaling their forces
in the hope Of being able to turn the
tide before DEFENDERS inal elections.
Liberals declare they did not vote, as
police and bands of Moderates prevent
ed, but this appears to be unfounded.
In Havana at least they appear to
have been beaten fairly.
Serious trouble in the immediate flu
ture is doubtful, but if dynamite plots
are laid for the primaries there is rea-
son to fear the result of Defenders
final presidential elections.
Several shipments of ammunition
have been made from New York with
in the last few weeks to members of
the Liberal party in Cuba. These sup
plies were purchased from a firm
which furnished much of the war ma
terial to the Cuban junta at the time
of the last rebellion and were shipped
clandestinely rs merchandise to es-
cape the attention Of Consul General
Zayas. The cartridges thus obtained
by agents Of the Liberals are now
stored in various cities Of the island,
particularly in Cienfuegos, for use III
the campaign against the Moderates.

Senator ]. b. Foraker closed the

Of national issues.
Vice President Fairbanks discussed
the prevailing prosperity and the ar
guments against a change In the adj
ministratlon. He said In part:
at Is entirely proper to appeal to
present conditions for confirmation OF
the virtue of Republican principles. In
no period of the past have conditions
In Ohio and elsewhere been SO favorn-
BILE to the vast interests Of labDr~and
capital. Let well enough alone ID q
well worn phrase, yet 1t possesses
great virtue. The Republican party
has to its credit nine years Of excep-
tional prosperity under existing boIiz
cies. Agriculture, which in the nna1
analysis is the sure foundation OF our
greatest national prosperity, Is enjoy~
ing Its largest rewards. Farm values
have increased everywhere. Farm
mortgages have been decreased. Hanu-
factories are running full time with
increased payrolls. Labor Is In de-
mand everywhere. Idleness vanished
with the overthrow of the Democrats
policies and Democratic administers
ton.
You declare that you stand by the
principles of protection to American
labor and American industries. This Is
a brief utterance, yet 1t Is OF command
ing Importance to our industrial devels
opment and commercial growth. It is
not Of moment to one section OF the
country, but to all sections.
"Ihe Dingley tariff has been In op.
GRAFTON eight years. There are those
who challenged its efficacy when 1t was
enacted, and there are those who doubt
its wisdom now. The tariff has always
had powerful advocates. A Republican
congress will reGdjust tariff schedules
wherever such readjustment ID essen

system and to maintain the tari6 in
