TRUST BUSTERS
TALK ON HAMLET
La Toilette S Worlds Greatest

New York Sun Special Service.
worlds Greatest Tragedy" was Gov
ernor La Follette's subject in his adj
dress before the Chautauqua yesterday.
Everybody in Kansas believed it re
lated either to the acts Of the Stand
ard Oil company or the beef trust.
These are the only two tragedies they.
know anything about except floods and
grasshoppers. 49,
Instead Of hearing the railroads de
nounced, for corruption, and the other
great corporations criticized by Gov.
ernor La Toilette, what they really
heard was a classical lecture on Ham
let. just what Shakspere' s character
had to do with the present situation,
Governor La Toilette did not explain,
and nobody aided him.
"Who is the fellow Hamlet9' one
member Of the audience asked. ct new
er knew him personality the neighbor
answered, "but a friend of mine told
me he was a buyer for the Standard
Oil company down in Cherryville about
three years ago.
That 8 about all the Chautauqua au-
dience knew or cared for Hamlet.
Expected Him to Lift Lid.
The audience expected the governor
to lift the lid and give them something
which would make up for all the dis
| comfort they have suffered for a week.
They wanted to see the trusts taken by
the neck and swabbed about the floor
and finally thrown into the mud, after
having been held up to the ridicule and
sscorn OF every man, woman! and child
and received milk. ." ...
All morning the Chautauqua sat
about under the trees telling what La
Toilette was going to do to the trusts.
When the governor really began his
address some of the audience thought
that in a misty way he was going to
put Hamlet and the trusts together,
but never once did the governor men
ton trusts. He kept right on develop
| ing his analysis Of Hamlet. He said
that Hamlet was Shakspere g ideal of
a man and refused to believe that he
was crazy. .'.s
Audience Disappointed.
Pretty nearly all the audience was
disappointed. They wanted the COVER
speech. The subject chosen was with
the expectation that it related to trusts
and particularly the trusts which infest
Kansas. They listened and then be-
| gan to drift away. A heavy rainstorno
came up and compelled others to re.
main, but as quickly as it ceased the
audience filtered out. It was only
about half as large when the governor
finished as when he began.
The meeting had been heralded as
one in which reformers would discuss
burning issues and the connection be
tween burning issues and Hamlet has
not yet been made plain. The Chau
tauquans are still waiting for District
Attorney Jerome and Tom Lawson
IF these two do not shake them up St
is admitted that the meeting will have
been failure. The district attorney
| speaks today and Mr.. Lawson follows
on Saturday.

Plans, subject to change, for the North

the stretch from Lake to Maple streets.
1t is now proposed TO run along a ridge
between Thirty-second and Thirty-third
streets rather than along Thirty-second.
The outline of the Northwest scheme
was given Tor the first time. and met with
some displeasure from President Lininger
because It arranged for a width of only
zoe feet through acre property, whereas
MIR Lininger thinks the width should be
at least $50 feet. If not more, through land
that is 70 be donated or Is cheap.
Members OF the Clifton Hin and other

NILES HELD FOR KILLING
Negro Charged by COrOner's Jury with
Death of barry R, McGeohin.
SAYS HE ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE
Woman over Whom Men Fought Also
Says McGechin Threatened
Miles and Her as
Well.

After short elaboration the coroners
jury yesterday afternoon in the case of
Harry r. McGechin, who was fatally cut
with razor Thursday evening at the Cam
bridge hotel, returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from a razor
wound inflicted by William Miles colored,
and recommended Miles be held for further
Investigation. County Attorney Slabaugn
probably will file complaint of murder in
the first degree against Miles. No new
facts were developed.
Apparently Miles accepts his present po-
sition with complacency, declaring that
McGechin threatend his life and struck the
first blow.
Miles was taken to the coroner's office
handcuffed and in the custody of Detective
| Davis. The prisoner appeared on the stand
and told his story. He said he was sitting
in front of the Cambridge hotel read
ing paper and had no thoughts of any
alteration with McGechin and harbored no
| III feelings toward the dead man.
''McGechln called me a vile name and
threatened my life" Miles declared, after
! which shook cane at McGechin. Then
the latter approached me and made a pass
with his fist, which was followed by the
fatal razor slash"
| Florence Fleck, the woman over whom the
trouble between the two men is said TO have
been caused, was witness and said Nc
Cochin had threatened both herself and
! Miles.
Several Witnesses on stand.
Several other witnesses offered testimony
in substance the same as the published
reports OF the tragedy
| Captain of Police Mostyn told of the
! capture of Miles at Thirty-sixth and Pink
ney streets. Miles was found hiding in a
clothes closet at the house and offered no
| resistance He shook hands with the cap
tain and his chief concern at that time
seemed to be protection from any possible
| violence.
City Physician Ralph told OF the wound
inflicted on McGechin, saying the incision
extended from the spine 10 the line OF the
| jaw, and was Of considerable depth.
The razor blade that Miles threw away
was found by Ar%hur Creighton at Four
teenth and Davenport streets. The blood
stained blade was passed to the Jurors
for examination and the sight OF the in
strument caused the Fleck woman to bury
her head in her hands.

Something of snag was struck on the
Blur Tract idea when the committee on

favor of an alteration from the original

Eaid they had found 1t more desirable to
run the boulevard from KOuntze park to
the blum through an undivided piece of
land owned by Herman Kountze. about a
block north of Pinkney street, instead of
along Pinkney street, which would have to
be widened considerably. They explained
that Mr.. Kountze had agreed practically
10 give the right-of-way between the park
and Sherman avenue. This change would
please Judge NJ. woolworth, who had
a protest in objecting to widening Pink
ney street from Sherman avenue east to

of the block here and gave thlrty-three

said, would amount to the conhscation of

HAPPY HARVEST HOME
OF HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL
One of the Most Pleasant Socia! Gatherings That
Was Ever Held on the Island
Of Maui.

MAUI. July 21-The third annual
harvest celebration given by the gen
eral manager and employees of the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. in
Puunene mill, Saturday evening, the
18th. was the great social success an
ticipated. The mammoth sugar-roon
was transformed into bit of fairy
land with its adornment of PALM
branches, ropes of ferns, the vivid
colors of flags and bunting and the
gIamor cast over all by the oriiilant
light from many ele>trIc lamps of red,
white and blue.
There were two large halls. each $50
by 80 feet. adjacent to and opening into
each other. but still entirely separate.
One of them was used by the dancers
and the other by the spectators or
those of the guests who preferred card
playing to dancing.
The Kawaiahao Quintet Club of Ho-
nolulu, on a raised platform under the
drapery of large American and English
flags sang Hawaiian ''hulas" and play
feet There was multitude of guests
present at least five hundred cosmo-
politans conveyed thither in crowded
trains from the different villages of
Central Maui. Tt seemed as though
every one who had received an invita-
ton had shown acceptance of it by his
presence.
Nearer 9 o'clock than s, Mr.. H. P.
Baldwin, president and general man
ager of the H. c. & S. Co. and Mrs. j.
N. S. Williams led the grand march.
This was followed by lancers and
then by many a pleasing two-step and
waltz till midnight. The caterer of the
occasion should be congratulated upon
the arrangement of the attractive sup
per room and the delicious menu. The
ice cream soda served during the even
ing hours was more popular than the
claret punch and other cool bevera ges.
Shortly after midnight the festivity
came to an end and the trains bore
away the many guests who wished
their generous hosts many happy re-
turns of the delightful harvest home
