CHARGES WEAKNESS
AGAINST PRESIDENT
Continued from First Page.

CONTINUED from First Page,)
The president surrendered and in
stead Of buying canal materials as he
vowed he would and as he repeatedly
asserted, it was his duty to do, In the
cheapest markets, he bought practically
everything he purchased-9S per cent.
of the whale-at protected, trust prices
/ in America"
In support of this contention he cited
the facts in connection with the pur-
chase from the Ward line of two ships
for the service. THE president" he
said, Opened negotiations for the
purchase of foreign ships; but at the
same time the batteries of American
ship builders were opened on the presi-
dent The fight, while it lastetd, was
fast and furious In speech the presi-
dent was bold and defiant. He vowed
he would protect the treasury and the
people from extortionA 80 monstrous.
The papers were filled with stirring
accounts Of his brave front and high
resolves. He was represented as being
implacable and immovable. Lay on
MacDuff, and damned be he who first
cries hold, enough was the refrain
that came rafting out from the pre-
cincts of the White house. For while
"a while-it really looked as if the
president for once at least would stand
his ground. But, alas our hopes were
vain. He was not equal to the task.
He hauled down his flag and surrender
cd. Instead Of buying the two for
eign ships of6,OOO tons each for $780,
600, he bought two American ships Of
$500 tons each for $1,300,O00."
These vessels, said the senator, had
originally cost not to exceed 100000,
ana as they had been in service about
eight years, We're worth forty per cent.
less. This he pronounced a "a shame
full instance of treasury looting.' He
declared the presidents weakness" to
be costly thing for the country.

Root Settling Up.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June A.
Secretary Root is having made a care
full study of the respective claims of
England against America and America
against England, with a view of a mu-
tual adjustment if that is possible. AS
he told the senate committee on for
eign relations last Wednesday, he be-
lieves that without resorting to the
cumbersome machinery Of a high joint
commission or even framing a treaty
which would have to be urged through
the senate, the matter might be ar
ranged by direct negotiation and a
balance struck and paid in cash by
the party found to have the best Of
the claim. Because the executive has
no constitutional power to bind the
legislative branch Of our government,
which alone can appropriate the ne
cessary money to meet and pay off an
adverse balance, it is probable that the
agreement between the negotiators
must provide that the judgments
reached shall be subject to the approx
al of the congress here and of parlia-
ment in England.

GOTHAM IS UNDER W|DE0PEN RULE
Gambling Is GeneraI-Eishty- nine
Places Have Been Opened Since
First fMay.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Under condi-
tons which for the present are be-
lieved to have little if any political
significance, New York City has been
thrown wide open, and gambling of all
kinds is being carried on even more
extensively and with less attempt at
secrecy than was done when William
S. Devery was in control of the po-
lice department. 1t is said and on
what should be good authority, that
eighty-nine gambling houses have
been opened in the city since May l.
That, of course, does not include pool
rooms which exist by the score in
every borough.
The gamblers assert that they are
doing business without let or hind
rance and they are paying for pro-
lection only to the men who are be-
lieved to be able to influence the po-
lice captains and inspectors. No such
vast sums are being raised as were
paid for privileges in the days of
Devery.

Muller turned around and Lach fired
again but missed Having but two
cartridges Lach fled, but stopped when
sixty feet away, emptied the shells from
his gun, which he hid under the leaves,
and ran to the station in time to catch
a train east. He was captured at
Steele and brought back Saturday
night and identified Muller at the hos
pital, but denied the shooting.
Muller was badly injured, the ball
cutting arteries and lodging in the
kidney, but managed to walk to the
road, where he fell exhausted from
loss Of blood. His chances for recovery
are very slight. The general opinion is
that had Muller fallen from the first
shot he would have been killed with
the other shot and robbed. He had
only SIG. Lach admits all but the
charge of intended robbery. He is an
Austrian and has worked in the paper
mills at Neenah, Wis, two years, and
was sent to Garrison, N. D., to work
on the 500 extension He is a man of
low mentality and expresses no regret
for his crime.

OWNS TO FATAL SHOOTING.
Muller, His Victim, Is at Point of Death
in a Bismarck Hospital.

BISMARCK, N. D., June 4.-Joseph
Lach, who shot John Muller in the will
lows near this city on Saturday, con-
fessed the crime yesterday and accom-
panied the officers to the scene, which
is but an eighth of a mile from the
nearest house, pointed out where he
had hidden his revolver after the shoot
ing and also described the crime.
He said he had asked Muller to take
a walk and they went to the willow
patch. They talked of their plans for
work and how much money each had,
and when in a secluded place Lach said
Muller again asked him how much
money he had and, thinking robbery
was intended by Muller's seeming
search for a gun in his trousers. he
concluded he would have to shoot in
self-defense and getting behind Muller,
he shot him in the back, the fire burn
ing Muller's coat.
