St. Petersburg, October IA formal de- nial has been issued here of the reported betrothal of Grand Duke Michael, brother of the Emperor of Russia. and Princess Patricia of Connaught, niece of King Ed ward. An unwritten error was committed by announcing through semi-official news yesterday as a fact in court and diplo- matic circles here. It now appears tha. the discussion of this alliance which IS bound up with far-reachng political con- sequences has not reached the stage of actual betrothal. The intima ton that such a marriage was contemplated was arroneousy dropped in court circles into a premature announcement of the be- trothal as an accomplished fact.

The President Has Twice Referred to Swollen Fortunes" Recently, and It Is Looked Upon

Washington, October 7-(Special)- Many politicians profess to believe that before the expiration of his term per haps at the next session of Congress. the President will speak out forcibIy In message to Congress advocating an in- come tax or some similar measure where by the owners of great wealth will be compelled to share in proportion to their wealth the expenses of the government It will be a popular issue and may be held over until winter after next on the eve of the presidential election of l9OS As Mir Roosevelt himself may be the car- dldate such move would greatly en- nance his prospects of election
 Strong Caru for Any Candidate.
 Even though the President does not again run. politicians of his party figure it out that will be the strongest kind of a card for any republican candidate. Of course. the income tax has been declared unconstitutional and would have to again go before the United States supreme court but since the old decision the court has been greatly changed and the addition of two and possibly more new members within the next two or three years does not by any means make certain that the old decision would stand. It also ire quently happens that the supreme court makes law according to the demands of the people and should an income tax case come before the court on the plain question 1t Is not unfair to assume that the court will reverse its five to four decision when no great popular force and interest were centered on the subject.

 The President has twice referred to tho swollen fortunes" once last April in d. speech In this city and only last week in the Pennsylvania capitol. That the move Is popular one goes without saying, aud like most of the Presidency popular Ideas. IL is one that has been appearing in dem- ocratlc platforms year In and year out.

Former Governor sees in Bryan and
Hearst Democratic Ticket That
viii be Hard for Republicans to
Beat.
lBy Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Nov. BIB. B. Odoll
OF Ne%burg former governor and OK
chairman ut the State Republican
Comittec, said today that the man.
agcment of the Republican State cam.
paign was the most aslnine" that he
ever knew.
The '"holc State ticket, he said.
might just as well have been elected.
As the result stands It looks like n
Democratic victory, aud leaves the
Republican party in bad shape with
"a National campaign coming on. Tho
Republicans. he declared. made no
campaign at nil. but put It all on Mr..
Hughes shoulders. Continuing, MIR.
Odcll said:
Criticises the President.
THE people of this State have al.
ways resented the inference of Pres
dent Of the United States In their 10.
cal elections. They have donc SO since
the days Of Dewitt Clinton. think
that the interference Of President
Roosevelt did more harm than good
II realize now" said Mr.. Odell,
that made mistake when nc.
ccpted the craftsmanship of the, State
Committee while was governor. The
people resent official and outside In
reference in their local political af-
fairs. That Is why | say that the in.
tcrferonce of President Roosevelt In
the Inst campaign did more harm than
good.
Case CT Personalities.
81 do not wish TO appear In the role
of general critic of the conduct Of the
campaign, but so far as I can make
out there was no real campaign No
use was made of the record of the
Republican party. It was all n case
OF personalities between the candi-
dates fer governor. We should have
stood for many of the things that MIR.
Hearst advocated. like the S.hour law,
the three platoon system for the po-
lice and firemen."
Mr.. Odell said that Mr.. Hearst was
greatly strengthened as political
factor by his campaign and that while
he might not be elected president, ne
was now man to be reckoned with
In tho future. He said that comb.
nation of Bryan and Hearst would be
one hard for the Republicans to beat.

dition Of the manufacturing interests
OF Massachusetts.
For the first umo tho report covert
only those establishments conducted
under the faeory system excluding
those which are classcd as neigh
borhood industries and hand trades.
Tho number of factories In 1905 can.
vassed was 10,72s. which are com
pared with 1929 such establishments
In 1900. While the number has dc.
creased 1.9 per cent In the five years
the capital invested has increased 23.5
per cent-$7sl.ooO,OOo to s9G5,OOO, GOO
The number OF salaried men has in.
creased 30 per cent and their total
salaries "a por cent. The percent.
age OF increase of the number of
wage earners is ia; of their wages
10: OF cost of materials. 25.6; of tho
value OF tho product. 1913; miscel.
lnneous expenses, 504.
II appears then that cost of mater.
inls has Increased faster than the
value OF the finished product; that
capital has Increased equally with
the value Of the product; and that
wages and salaries have both in.
creased, the latter moro than SO per
cent faster than the former. More.
over tho urban manufacturing has
increased 20 per cent, while rural
manufacturing has increased only 1871
per cont.
While the amount OF money paid for
wages, salaries and material has in.
creased, tho net profit on capital
hns diminished from IL per cent in
1900 to IA per cent In 1905. Moro
capital, moro salaried mon, more
wage earnors are employed, but in
n smaller number of establishments.
More materials have been used. A
largo portion of tho product OF in.
dustry has gone TO tho wages OF labor
and Of superintendent, and to tho
producers Of raw material, while the
capitalist has boon compelled to re.
tain n smaller portion for himself.
There Ia no reason to believe TINT
conditions In Massachusetts are ex-
ceptional. and the figures presented
indicate that tho laborcr never has
received larger share of tho profits
arising from his labor than at pos.
ent. When tho spollbinder talks
