Mr. Maynard Can Sec Signs
 Pointing That Way
PLAN ID RAISE PENSIONS
Tanners Idea Is to Pension Every Union Veteran of the Civil War, CoWherd Talks of Mis-
 sourl Politics.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, September 27.-(Specia1.)- Representative Maynard of Virginia, who was in the city today, does not believe it requires any great stretch of the imig- ination to believe that Roosevelt will be nominated again in 1908.
 ''I mean, of course, by the republican party" explained Mir Maynard, though the fact Is that the President Is today standing upon a good sized part of the timber in the democratic platform, and Is in many respects a pretty good demo- crat. Everybody knows that the Presi- dent was not the choice of his party at the convention last year Undoubtedly the politicians were against him and were only forced into line by fear of their own undoing. He whipped them over to his side and 1t Is greatly to be hoped that he will force them to enact certain legis- lation of a democratic character being advocated by him. I believe the demo- cratic party will stand an excellent chance or winning in 1908 provided Roosevelt himself Is not the candidate.
 Taft would probably be the strongest candidate outside of Roosevelt; Root is a trust attorney; Shaw a politician. With any one of the three up the G. o. P. would by no means have a walk-over, Three years is a long time, and it Is not beyond the range of possibilities to say that Roosevelt would accept a renomina- ton should he find that the ideas he ad- vocates will become dead letters in the hands of some other nominee of the party. If he Is sincere and falls to get tho legislation he is advocating why should he not go before the people in 1908 and say to them. If you indorse the saisrss have adopted. put up candidates for Congress who will vote as you want them to, and as l want them to-, What will the railroad people and stand-patters say to that?"

WHITE EXPECTED
 AT HOME TODAY
ENEMIES IN RUSSIA ARE STILL JEALOUS AND ARE INCLINED TO RESENT CALL ON THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

St. Petersburg. September T.-M. Witte Is expected to arrive here tomorrow. His progress through France and Germany has been watched from here with inter est but none the less has added to the Jealousy towards him in certain quatters, which was more or less freely manifested after his success at Portsmouth. The fact that he went to see Emperor Will liam yesterday enabled his enemies to seize the opportunity to characterize him as a self-styled adviser. Emperor Will Hams gift to M. Witte of the Order of the Black Eagle has had gratifying ef- feet here, much more so than when the Emperor conferred the order upon Gem eral Stoessel.
 M Witte's visit to the German Emperor has given rise to considerable political speculation, but the Associated Press was assured fin an excellent quarter today that no especial political significance should be attached to 1t; that 1t was simply an evil dence of the satisfactory relations exist ing between the two empires. which has grown even closer during the war

RAILROADS PLEASED
 AT DIAZ ACTION
Recent Order Will Do Away Wish the Frequent Delay of
 Trains.

Mexico City, September H.-President Diaz has issued a circular that is more than welcomed by the railroad companies all over the republic. The order is de- signed to prevent delays in the burial of those killed in railway accidents. Dis trict judges have been ordered not to perform autopsies on the victims of such accidents except in extreme cases. They are ordered further to appoint experts to investigate the cause of death. These appointments will be expected to report immediately to higher authorities to has, ten the cause of justice. It has long been the case that a man killed on the railroad would cause the delay of trains for hours. The autopsies have been frequently held over bodies that were beyond doubt killed by being run over by a train. There could be no question of death or the man. ner in which it was inflicted, yet fre- ouently hours have been wasted by the delaying of trains before burial could be had.
 According to the new order, all this will he done away with, and in plain cases there will be no autopsy. The rail- road men welcome this change of affairs, as under the old rule they were put to much inconvenience.

Cowherd Will Resign.

Former Congressman w. S. Cowherd. chairman of the democratic congressional committee was in Washington today He was defeated for reelection last November. says he is out of politics, will not be a candidate for Congress again and will next month send out notices to the mem bers of the committee telling them to notify their state congressional delega- ttons to select the members of the com- mittee which will next year have charge or the congressional campaign. At this meeting he vii resign his present posi- ton and new chairman will be elected
 Representative Grggs of Georgia, who managed the campaign three years ago, Is being mentioned as Mir Cowherd's successor but 1t is understood here that he will not be candidate for reelection. The democrats will doubtless have con siderable difficulty in getting one of their members to take charge of the cam paign The charimanship in a losing cam paign Is very thankless job. MT Cow herd said tonight that politics is scarcely being mentioned in Missouri. The Presl- dents whitewash of Loomis and Mor- ton created bad impression which was only partly wiped out by his success in the peace conference
 "The railroad rate problem Is the big gest thing we have in the west" said MT. cowherd. "and the people are behind the Presidents views, which on this sub Ject are democratic throughout If the President secures railroad rate legisla- tion, which means something, 1t will greatly increase his popularity. His fail- ure to do so will have the opposite effect. The result of the beef trust cases in Chi- cago have also been of more than pass- Ing interest to our people. The adminis- tration's successful handling of the case received highest commendation but to let the trust people off with fine, which is itself paid by the people. shows q rather unsayory conclusion of the affair. If the administration expects to get any polIti- cal capital out of its prosecution of the beef trust the remaining officials under indictment have got to have little more severe punishment than a small fine"

 funding Operations.

 Hope Better Council Will Prevail.
 It is not thought that the shooting of tonight will have any effect on the gen eral situation which has grown up, while the feeling throughout Hungary against the dynasty is increasing. Among we'll informed persons 1t is believed that bet ter council will prevail after the first flush of passion dies away.
 It is stated that the emperor has issued orders that in the event of disturbances harsh measures must be avoided if poss- ble, but no one knows what will happen next Revolutionary cries are frequently heard in the streets, and an element of the population is endeavoring to stir up the passions of the people. The effort, however, is being discountenanced by the coalition leaders and others.
 It Is certain that parliament will not meet October 1 under the existing cir cumstances, and it may even be dissolved. Among the better class 1t Is believed that everything hinges on the meeting Octo- Der of the various parties adhering to the coalition, and it is hoped that dem- onstrations will be avoided and that some way out of the difficulty will be suggest ed. In the meanwhile the crises is un- .io.. rnrloilc

Americas Lesson in Practical
 Ethics is Painful
PRESIDENT BUTLER TALKS
Situation Which Confronts America Today Is Due to Lack of Moral Princlple-Mind Trlumphs
 Over Morals.

New York, September 27.-Caustic com ment on some modern business methods as revealed by recent and current inves- tigations of quasi public financial institu- tions was made by President Nicholas Murray Butler in his address of welcome to the students at the opening of the col- lege year at Columbia university today. He told the students of the immense importance in their college life of careful attention, both on their own part and on the part of all faculties and schools, building.
 Painful Lesson in Practical Ethics.
 "If we fail in forming those traits and habits which together constitute charac- ter" he continued, "all our learning Is an evil Just now the American people are receiving some painful lessons in prac- tical ethics They are having brought home to them with severe emphasis the distinction between character and reputa- ton. A mans true character 1t abund- antly appears, may be quite n conflict with his reputation which is the public es- innate of him. Of late we have been watch ing regulations melt away like snow be- fore the sun; and the sun In this case is mere publicity Men who for years have been trusted implicitly by their fellows. and so placed in positions of honor and grave responsibility. are seen to be mere reckless spectators with the money of others and petty pilferers of the savings of the poor and needy.

Want to Tear Things Up.

At o'clock about 150O socialists gath cred outside the Independence club and announced their intention of entering and tearing down the council room.
 A large force of police was present and was assisted by 150 prominent citizens
 The mob made an effort to enter, but was vigorously opposed by the police A fight ensued, and amid the widest clamor a number of persons were stabbed, but the socialists were finally scattered. Eff teen minutes later, however, the socialists again gathered This time adherents of the coalition in large numbers appeared upon the scene and their appearance re- suited in a free fight between the two factions. A dense mass of humanity surged in every direction shouting and singing the Marseillaise and other songs. Knives, sticks and stones were used viz Orously

Hungarian Situation is Fast
 Approaching Crisis
SOCIALISTS LEAD FIGHTING
Feeling Against the Dynasty Is Crow Ing and No One Seems to Know What Will Happen
 Next.

Budapest, September 27.-Between forty and fifty persons were injured in riots here this afternoon when Socialists and adherents of the coalition parties, includ- ing students, clashed opposite the Royal hotel, and for two hours there were scenes of tremendous excitement. The Royal hotel is the headquarters of the Independence club in which is the coun- ell room of the coalition leaders.
 The students and other supporters of the coalition had arranged for gigantic torchlight procession tonight but during the day the socialists issued infiammatory proclamations calling on socialists and others opposed to the coalition to gather and fight for their rights, which they said the coalition was trying to sidetrack under cover of an alleged affront by the King Emperor to the whole nation. Owing to these proelamations the coalition lead CTS decided to postpone the torchlight procession, seeking thus to avoid blood shed.

Lack of Moral Principle.

Put bluntly. the situation which com fronts Americans today, is due to lack of moral principle. New statutes may be needed, but statutes will not put moral principle where it does not exist. The greed for gain and the greed for power have blinded men to the time-old dis tinction between right and wrong. Both among business men and at the bar are to be found advisers counted shrewd and successful, who have substituted the penal code for the moral law as the standard of conduct. Right and wrong have given way to the subtler distinction between non-illegal legal and illegal, or better perhaps between honest law and dishon- est law. This new triumph of mind over morals is bad enough in itself, but when in addition it's opponents secure material gain and professional prosperity 1t be- comes a menace to our integrity as people,
