Here IL an extract from letter ad-
dressed to II. II. Kohlsaat, OF Chi
cago. The letter Is dated "Oyster
Bay, ". T., August :. 1899. )"
After some personal matters this
remarkable epistle says
"How about trusts? ! kno" this
is very large question, but more
and more II seems to me that there
will be a good deal Of Importance 10
the trust later IN the next campaign,
and I want to consult with men
whom can trust most as to what
line Of policy should be pursued.
During the last few months have
been growing exceedingly alarmed
at the growth Of popular unrest and
popular distrust on this question.
1t Is largely ainiless and baseless,
but there is very unpleasant side
TO this overrun trust development,
ana what l fear Is, II we do not have
some consistent policy to advocate
then, that the multitudes will follow
the crank who advocates an absurd
policy, but who does advocate some
thing.
Have you though enough about
the matter TO say whether any lesis-
lation, and II 50. what, should be
undertaken, or whether there is any
other remedy that eau be wisely APP
piled!
Faithfully yours,
''Theodore Roosevelt. Z"
1t will be observed that the dis
tinguished writer Is not so much
alarmed" because the trusts are
robbing the people as he is that the
people are showing unrest" and
"distrust," which, he says, is largely
"aimless and baseless,'' because they
are being robbed.
His fear" Ii not that the corpor-
ations will continue this exploiting
policy, but that, II the republicans
do not make play to allay popular
discomfort, 1.-THE multitudes will fol-
low" somebody "who does advocate
something"
In the writer's mind, anybody who
really did "adyocate something ;
that meant anything would, of course
be a crank, - but this appellation
would not apply to any one who
merely made show for the purpose
OF quieting popular unrest" and
distrust. /"
This Is the attitude of the oppor
tunist and politician.
That 1t applies not only to the
trusts In general, but to the railroad
policy as well, is made plain In this
statement, which, Kohlsaat says,
was made by his bosom friend Roose.

II believe the time has come when
we must have federal supervision OF

In other words, the railroads must
be regulated not because they are
doing wrong, but because the people
may become dissatisfied and clamol

dozen were presented at one time. Chief

While dozens living in Washington or

In all sections. II was even printed
abroad, FOR several letters have come in
from England and other countries with
in the last few days. in which it was
stated their interest had been aroused
through the article that had been printed

Many Of the men apparently knew
they were entitled to medals. but, think
ing they were cheap. bulky and Of the

them. Their interest was aroused, how

Ambassadors Chauffeur
Immune From AIRES? ?
MahoneY American, Employed by Austrian
Envoy May Not Be Prosecuted in Mary
Iand-HengelnulIer Appeals TO
Department Of State.

Although it is said at the State De-
partment that no reply has been re-
ceived from Governor Warield, of Mary
land, TO the note addressed to the state
executive, inclosing a complaint from
the Austrian ambassador concerning the
arrest of his automobile driver, II is
understood that the case viii be dropped.
II was Admitted at the State Depart
ment that Baron Hengelmuller. the am-
bassador from Austria-Hungary, had
addressed 4 note TO the department,
complaining that his chauffeur had been
arrested in violation Of the laws OF ma
tions extending, as courtesy. I'M
munity from arrest TO diplomats and
members o. their households. The e;sn-
plant was not formal. IL was stated.
and the subject was passed over lightly.
Techniealities in Case
The case has caused no end of COM
meiit and speculation among automo-
bilists. and particularly among mem
bers of the Diplomatic Corps, for If the
Maryland authorities should choose to
press the case It might result solving a
knotty problem. The authorities Of Glen
Echo, in Montgomery county. Nd, which
is just across the border OF the District
of Columbia, where the arrest was
made. are said to be inclined to press
the matter. in their fight against Wash
ington automobihsts, who persist in
scOrching through that place.
A number of Automobiles have been
arrested lately by the town and State
authorities. including the chauffeur for
the Misses ShOnts.
The features of international courtesy
law involved begin with the chauffeur.
William F. MahOney, who is an Ameri-
can citizen, and Is employed by the am
bassador as tie regular driver OF his
automobile In spite OF his citizenship.
II is claimed by the embassy officials

the ambassador. IN a personal capaCiIy,

similar 10 that of coachman or butler,
he is a member of the ambassador s
household, and as such is immuns from
arrest.
Driving for Ambassador?
There Is no known precedent for the
case, but law officials of the State De-
partment hold that it would make con-
siderable difference whether the man
was driving the ambassador own auto
mobile. on business for the ambassador,
or whether he was simply out on his
own account, in machine not regularly
installed at the embassy. In any event.
there would be no question as TO his
immunity II he We're driving the am
bassador or any members of the en-
bassv SIAN. for the persons he was
driving would be considered the re-
sponsIble parties and they would be
immune. II has been said that no men,
,bers OF the embassy staff were in the
machine.
Mahoney Never Came Back.
The arrest was made March % by
Sheriff Collins. of Glen Echo. Collins
is town marshal as well as deputy
sheriff for the state and in the latter
capacity he made the arrest because the
machine was without Maryland
license. The driver was asked to leave
SO collateral for trial but he declared
he had no such sum with him. lie was
finally released on his own recogniZ-
ance on the plea slat he had TO DIR, |e
the ambassador to tBe White House that
evening. He failed to return for tria'
next day, and, according 10 Sheriff
Collins, has not since returned.
Automobile owners in Washington
heard that Sheriff Collins was watching
for MahOney. and also for the same
machine. and Il Is understood, the am
bassador feared that ne or his driver
might have further trouble with the
Maryland authorities and made his ap-
peal TO the state Department.
