PRESIDENT RADLEY ON
 THE ETHICS OF TRADE
SPEARS BEFORE NEW FORK
 SCHOOL OF PHILANTHROPY.

Much of the Present Day Speculation
 is Bad--Making of Contracts for Flu
 ture Delivery on Basis of other
 Peoples Money Mere Gambling With
 Loaded Dice--GOcd in Competitive
 System Ontweighs the Evil.
 New York, Nov. 9.-President Hadley of Yale this afternoon delivered the second of the Kennedy series of lec- lures in the auditorium of the United Charities building, before the New York School of Philanthropy, his sub iect being the Ethics of Trade
 The address had to do with the com petitive system in the modern business world, and after one or two historical references leading up to the subject, he said speaking of the present time;
 "The objectionsato modern ethics are two. First, that modern trade in Its larger forms is not an attempt to meet public needs It Is mere speculation gambling or something worse. Second that fair competition does not exist, and cannot exist, except when buyer and seller are on equal terms. When they are unequal-for instance when a cap italist and a laborer are dealing with one another-the weaker is crushed by the stronger Much of the present day speculation is bad. The first essential to right speculation is that man must be really able to make good his guar antees. He must be rsking his own money If he is making contracts for future delivery on the basis of other peoples money, whether through actua borrowings or through inflated credit this means that if there are profits they will go to him, but the losses will fall on some one else.

Texas Rangers in Fierce Fight Kill
 Four of Attackers.

Houston, Tex, Nov 9.-A special to the Chronicle from Laredo, Tex, says:
 Four Texas rangers, sent to Rio Grande City to quiet turbulent political conditions there, and investigate the as- sassination of District Judge Welch, which occurred the night before the election, were ambushed by a body of armed Mexicans between Fordyce and Rio Grande City late last night. The rangers were asleep in camp, when awakened by a volley of shots from the darkness. A fight ensued, and four of the attacking party were killed, one fa tally wounded and two captured. The rangers escaped unscathed.
 Governor Lanham to-day ordered 8 company of cavalry to Starr county.
 The situation in Starr county was brought about by alleged election ir- regularities, due to political clubs sup plying Mexican residents wilh poll tax receipts, and insisting that they be all lowed to vote Judge Welch had gone from his home in Corpus Christi to be present at Rio Grande City on election day in an effort to prevent disorders He was assassinated while he was asleep Monday night. It is charged that armed representatives of political patrolled the polling places, on election day, and refused to allow members of the opposing factions to vote Several shooting affrays occurred, but no one was killed or wounded, It is charged by one faction that Judge Welch was murdered by hired assassin and that last nights ambuscade of the rangers was instigated by the same faction
 There are reports here of continued rioting at Rio Grande City, the extent of which is not now known.
 Washington, Nov. 9.--No official re- port of the clash between the Texas rangers and the Mexicans near Rio Grande City has reached Washington, and the officials scarcely expect that there will be report unless the mat ter is made the subject of diplomatic representations by the Mexican govern ment, and so far the Mexican embassy here has not been advised of any such purpose.

CAME TODAY Al 2:sO.
Yale-Brown Contest Starts Half am
 Hour Earlier.

Hour Earlier.
 A change of hour has been made in the Yale-Brown football game at the field this afternoon from o'clock to 2:3O. The change was made to ac- commodate the Brown players and the management is making every effort to notify the patrons of the game of the c ge of time, and 80 prevent their loss of the first part of what promises to be the most interesting of all the preliminary games of the year. Yale plays Princeton the following Saturday, and the hopes of Yale men for that game are built upon what Yale may do with Brown. Since the West Point game there has been a remarkable im- provement all along the line. Coaches have fiocked from all over the country and on one of the days of the week there were two coaches to near ly every position on the team. Those who have seen the secret practice this week are confident that Yale has at last struck her gait and the waning uuptS UL d FlStOly uNSl IIlIiCelOIl nave sprung up brilliantly. Brown will so against rejuvenated Yale eleven to- day and the indications are that the game will be one worth going a long way to see. Brown is very strong this year and last Saturday gave Harvard a close rub. Harvard, like Yale against West Point, only saved herself by a goal from the field in the last minutes of play. The Brown coaches who saw the Yale-West Point game say they will beat Yale and have bet some money on their eleven.

M'CARREN'S KNIFING OF
 HEARST TO BE PRCB-D
NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE VOrkS FOR
 INVESTIGATION,

Charges Preferred Against the Kings
 County Leader--Committee Also to
 Defend Any Action Taken by Repub-
 licans to "0verthrow the PIuralities
 Which Seem to Exist on State Ticket
 From Lieutenant Governor Down.v
 New York, Nov. 9.-The democratic state committee met here to-day and by vote of 30 to IS adopted a resolu- tion providing for an investigation of the conduct of the Kings county demo- cratic organization, headed by State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, during the campaign just closed. A delegation of Brooklyn democrats, headed by Pat rick Hayes, warden of the Kings coun- ty penitentiary and former leader of one of the assembly districts included in Senator McCarren's senatorial dis trict, appeared before the committee and preferred charges against the sen- ator and the Kings county committee. It was alleged that McCarren had "knifed'' the head of the ticket and had urged his followers to do the same.
 The state committee also took steps to defend any action that may be taken by the republicans to overthrow the pluralities which seem to exist at this time in favor of the democratic candi- dates on the state ticket from lieuten- ant-governor down. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the democratic candidate for ieutenant-governor, and William Schuyler Jackson, of Buffalo, the dem- ocratic candidate for attorney general, were present throughout the meeting and constantly were consulted with
 The spokesman for the Brooklyn del- egation said that "McCarren's place is with the republicans" The petition declared, among other things. "that one Patrick H. McCarren has refused and failed to support the candidate for goy- ernor nominated by the Buffalo conven- tion, and has, by public utterances and through the public press, openly advo- cated the election of the nominees of the republican party and has openly used the election machinery and the county committee of Kings county of which he is chairman of the executive committee, to accomplish the defeat of the regular democratic candidate for governor"
 Replying to the petition, Senator Nc Carren declared that at meeting Of the Kings county committee he had said some things about MT. Hearst.
 And if the opportunity presents, he declared, T shall repeat them When fellow hits you on the jaw I do not believe in turning the other cheek believe in striking back, straight from the shoulder If on another occasion I could make my statements regarding MT. Hearst any more emphatic should certainly do so."
 MT. McCarren concluded by offering an amendment to the Batten resolution providing that the investigation be ex- tended to all the counties of the state where MT. Hearst ran behind his ticket The amendment was lost.
 The committee discussed the situation regarding belated returns from some upstate counties. In this connection w. Bourke Cochran offered a resolution

AUTO WINS PURSUIT RACE
DEFEATS BALLOON L,0RIENT
 AND WINS HAWLEY CUP.

Which the Aeronauts Travelled Slow
 Iy and Traversed Same Air Twice
 Not Considered Satisfactory Test of
 Ability of Auto to Follow Balloon.
 North Adams, Mass, Nov. s.--Cort- landt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, won the Alan R. Hawley cup in the balloon pursuit race by automobiles to-day, arriving at the points of descent in this city with his car, not only within the time limit fixed by the racing committee, but in time to assist in dragging the balloon to the ground Mir. Bishop had a thir- ty-flve horsepower automobile, and managed to keep in sight of the bal loon L'Orient practically through all of the race In this he was favored by the fact that the wind was very light and shifty, so that the balloon travel ed slowly, and at times seemed to make no progress whatever, while at other times it flowed back nearly over the course previously traversed. Another automobile driven by N. M. Laporte, of the Pittsfeld garage, reached the point of descent ten seconds after the balloon landed and before the occu- pants of the balloon, Allan R. Hawley and J. e. Mccoy, had time to leap from the car The other two automo- piles which entered the race failed to finish within the time limit.
 On account of the weather conditions the race was decidedly unsatisfactory as a test of the ability of automobiles to follow the balloon. When L'Orient made the ascent from Pittsfield at 2:55 this afternoon, with MT. Mccoy in the car as pilot and MT. Hawley, the donor of the cup as a passenger, there was scarcely any wind perceptible at the ground level, and the balloonists en- countered only weak and shifting air currents as they ascended. The bal loon f1oated slowly in a general north erly direction, making a zigzag course until Williamstown was beneath it., when it veered southeasterly in the di- rection of North Adams, hanging sus- pended over the city for nearly three quarters of an hour beforer descending at 9:05. The distance in an air linee from Pittsfield to North Adams is a little less than nineteen miles, but the cyclometer on the Bishop automobile, which followed the balloon nearly to Williamstown and around Greylock mountain, registered twenty seven miles The automobile of MT. Laporte, by taking a short cut across country, when the balloon was seen to be head ing back to North Adams, was able to reach the spot of descent without cov- ering as many miles of country.

PROBEFORHARRIMAN ROADS
GENERAL INVESTIGATION oF
 SYSTEM VERY PRoBABLE

Subject Discussed by the Interstate
 Commerce COmmission--Inform
 That It in Some Features is Not Un-
 like the Northern Securities Com
 the InterpOsition of the U. s. Attor-
 hey General.
 Washington, Nov. 9,-A general inves- tigation of what is known as the Har- riman system of railroads, under the authority conferred by law, is one of the subjects that has been discussed by the interstate commerce commission. The propriety of an investigation of the system has been talked of by the mem- hers of the commission for some. time, and that body, it is said, really stands committed to an inquiry.
 We have been informed" a member of the commission said tonight, that this system in some of it's features is not unlike the Northern Securities com pany, which was dissolved through the interposition of the attorney general of the United States"
 Any steps which may be taken by the commission along the lines referred to will be, 1t is said, in accordance with the general powers of the commission conferred by law, and not because of any immediate specific complaint of a violation of the statutes. In January, if time permits, the commission will take up the complaint of the municipal ity of Spokane against the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy, the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line rail- roads, involving alleged discrimination in charging a higher rate for a shorter than for a longer haul. This complaint was the first filed with the commission under the amended interstate commerce act. It is regarded as of considerable importance, as it's disposition will log ically have a bearing on the whole question Of transportation in the west from the Canadian border to Mexico and Chicago and St. Louis to the Pa- cif1c coast. It is also of importance with the proposed investigation of the Har- riman system, whose territory and con- meeting lines cover a large portion of the west.
