of appeals handed down a decision
this afternoon affirming the right Of
the Independence League Of New

judicial and county officers by multi

The decision caused considerable
enthusiasm among the Hearst faction
and It is considered will materially
strengthen Hearst's chances for gov

to one on Hughes, has changed to
even money. The campaign in the
state Will close Saturday night.

quarters considerable surprise was
manifested by the appearance of the
Hearst Campaign Flyer, which showed
the candidates photograph, and also
gave expression to views Of public af-
fairs. paralleled with the recent ut,
terances Of President Roosevelt on
the same subjects. State Chairman
Woodruff later announced that he
would urge the chief executive to re-
sent inference that he and Hearst
were in accord on certain matters.
but at the White House tonight moth
ing was forthcoming on the political
situation In New York. 1t was stated
however, that Secretary Root would.

day night, outline the administrations
views on the local issues involved.
The snow and chill today failed to
dampen the ardor or enthusiasm of
the thousands who turned out to hear
and applaud the heads Of the state
tickets, as they hurried through the
western section Of the state, stopping
wherever possible to speak briefly and
shake hands with the party support
ers. Today's speeches were along ia
miliar lines. Hearst was roundly APP
plauded when he scored the election
boards which decided against the In
Leagu candidats and
pledged freedom from corporation
control of office holders.

Seven Years.

PUTIN BAY, O., July 11.-Secretary
of War Taft. in his speech this after
noon before the State Bar Association,
apologized for not having selected a
legal subject and began his address
upon the Panama Canal by giving rea-
sons for the selection by the Govern
ment of the Panama route and explain
ing the apparent delay in the actual
work of excavation.
The necessity of establishing sani-
tary conditions before the actual work
of construction was actively COM
menced was strongly emphasized. 1t
was shown that the %, 900 employees
had in reality accomplished more than
any one realized in the building and
equipment of railroads the construc-
tion of'a water supply and the build
Ing of houses and homes for those en-
gagged in the work. 1t was pointed out
that the actual excavation was much
less of a problem than the question of
disposing of the material when it was
taken out.
The estimated cost of the Panama

and that It had been necessary for
those in charge to withstand a great
deal of political stress while carrying
out the preliminary work.

PARKER OUT WITH
REPLY To taft.
Takes Exception to the
Words of the Secretary
as to Trust Curbing
Late Candidate Claims
ThatHis Own Conten-
ton Has Been Proved

NEW YORK, July 11.-Former Judge
Alton B. Parker, in a statement given
out today took issue with some of the
utterances of Secretary of War Taft in
the speech delivered at Greensboro,
n c.. by Taft last Monday Judge
Parker declares that the Secretary in
bis speech sought TO have the public
draw the inference that the recent
prosecutions of alleged, illegal combi-
nations were due to new statutes. To
this Judge Parker takes exception, and
TO support his contention he quotes
from his letter Of acceptance of the
Presidential nomination two years ago
and a speech delivered during the
Presidential campaign. In both the
speech and the letter Judge Parker is
quoted as saying that the laws then
on the statute books were entirely ade-
quate If enforced. Judge Parker says
in his statement:
The inference that Secretary Taft
would have the public draw from his
utteranoes is that these things are due
10 new statutes; that the yindication
winch the law is now receiving is due
70 congressional action since 1904. But
that is not so. Not one of the success
ful prosecutions for which the existing
administration is entitled to credit is
pased on any new statute. Every sin
gie one OF. them to this date is abso--
Iutely upon the law as it stood in 1904
and IL should not be lost sight of by
discriminating public that the law
could have been enforced in 1904 and in
1903 and in 1902, just as well as today.
Had 1t been enforced, the wrongs from
which the people have suffered would
not have multiplied
Until after my last utterance no Wis
ible action had been taken by an ad-
ministration that had been in power
for four years to check corporate and
trust abuses by an appeal to the crimi-
nal courts. After that steps were taken
and submit that the result proves the
truthfulness OF the assertion often made
by me that we have an abundance of
law to put an end to all offenses
against the public by the officers of
the trusts and great corporations of
the country.
The administration has now discov-
cred not only that there is enforcible
law against the giving of rebates, and
law adequate to check illegal combina-
tions, but that the persons engaged in
its violation can be punished for 1t.

EXPERTS EXAMINE
HARTJE LETTERS,
Pittsburg Divorce Suit
Hinges Upon Alleged
Notes to Coachman
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PITTSBURG, July 1.-The hand
writing experts, David N. Carvalho of
New York and Marshall D. Ewell of
Chicago, were closeted for several hours
.oday with Mrs. Hartje and the defen-
dant Nadine, the coachman co-respon-
dent, examining the forty letters alleged
to have been written to Nadine by Mrs.
Hartje Nadine said he would not
make an information against Detective
Craig, who, it is alleged, broke open
his trunk and carried off letters and
papers.
81 have left everything" said he,
'in the hands Of the attorneys (re-
ferring to counsel for Mrs. Hartje)
and IL rests with them"
Not to be outdone by the defense
the attorneys for Hartje have had the
famous letters photographed and have
prepared charts three feet in height
Both sides have prepared enlargements
of the letters and they will be taken
into court when the trial of the case
is resumed tomorrow.
An effort will be made, 1t Is said,
to prove that Mrs. Hartje was deceived
as to her own writing by the clever
ness of the alleged forger. Contempt
proceedings, it is asserted, will be
urged, IL 1t be proved that the court
has been imposed upon. Friends of
Hartje's attorneys say that If this is
true the lawyers have been imposed
upon also and are innocent of knowl-
edge of the alleged forgeries.
During the day a number of deposi-
tions from witnesses for Mrs. Hartte
were taken in the office of Attorney
Freeman, one of her counsel.
The statement was made today that
attorneys for Hartje will place a pri-
vate detective on the stand when the
case is resumed to swear that he stole
the love-letters alleged to have been
written by Mrs. Hartje to Coachman
Nadine from the latters pocket while
Nadine was asleep.

Il, with all the other members OF the
family, was anxious mother should re-

rheumatism and went to Europe for
the purpose of taking a cure at
Schinznach, Switzerland and in fact
all of US wished her to take the cure
before returning home or course
shall be glad to see her, but I can't
help wishing that she had remained IN
Europe for her own sake"
During his talk with the newspaper
men Thaw took occasion to explain
his failure to take advantage of the
permission to go into the prison yard
for exercise yesterday.
The reason / was not out in the
yard yesterday is simple enough" said
he. Il spent the day, when not en-

When Thaw bade the newspaper men
goodby he told them that he had
thoroughly enjoyed the chat and added
that to talk with any one besides the
lawyers, doctors and prison officials

from the outside"
Assistant District Attorney Garvan

CHICAGO July I1.-Judge Lands. in
the United States District Court, today
sentenced the Chicago and Alton road.
which was recently convicted Of having
granted illegal rebates at Kansas City,
10 pay a fine Of $4,000 on each oS two
coUnts. or a total OF $4,000.
John Faithorn and Fred A Wann,
former officials OF the road, who also
were convicted, were sentenced to pay
q fine Of $4,000 each on two counts, or a
total OF $4,000 each.
The defendants were fined on two
counts OF an indictment containing ten
counts. The specific charge on which
they were convicted was that they had
given to the Schwarzschild & Sulzber-
ger company a rebate OF 81 car on
all shipments from the Kansas City
plant OF the packing company. The
defendants claimed that the charge was
made against them by the packing
company. which had the right to levy
it because 81 owned the track near the
plant and therefore had the right TO
charge the railroad for trackage.
Judge lands, in his instruction, d.
rected the jury to bring in verdict
OF guilty and after il had been rendered
the attorneys for the railroad and for
the individual defendants asked until
today to show that the rebate was pub
lie and not a secret affair.
Today the attorneys for the railroads
said that they had not been able 20
bring witnesses into court TO testify
because they feared prosecution them
selves.
The court in passing sentence said
that he could see no extenuating cir
cumstances in the granting of the re-
bates. After the entering of the SEN
tence the defendants gave notice of
ar appeal
The fine inflicted today by Judge
lands is identical with that imposed
upon the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy Railroad in 2 similar case by
Judge Bethea, in the United States Cir
cult Court
