Lawyers Won't censure Roosevelt.
Politics cropped out In the conven-

when a Baltimore delegate offered a
resolution censuring President Roose-

the beef trust case in Illinois year

siding judge. 1t was met with numer
GUS objections from all parts Of the
hall, and President Parker asked the

Farmers Start Hughes Boom.
Governor Hughes Of New York has
been receiving cordial welcomes at diff
ferent places in the state where he has
made addresses recently, and at the
Washington county fair he was open
ly cheered as the 'ne,k president of
the United States" The governors
speech has been widely quoted as con-
tanning sober and sane sentiments. He
said the way to deal with existing
public service troubles was to show
the people that no corporate or finan-
cial power has strength to defy their
will. He said they should not be
fooled by those who say that the cor
porations cannot live under fair reg
ulation, but that, on the other hand,
he did not propose to establish absurd
and impossible rules which might pre-
vent the corporations from rendering
good service. He said the last legisla-
ture had gone long way toward pro-
vidlng the necessary machinery for
enabling the state to control these
matters, and now he proposed to see
that It worked well. In conclusion he
said:

stood that man walks to his political
doom who thinks of anything else but

Standards Fight For Life Opens In
New York Today.
New York Sept. 3.-The case of the
United States against the Standard Oil
company was called in the federal
building today by ex-Judge Firen, the
referee.
The purpose of the suit is the disso-
luton of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, the parent of the so called
trusts many subcompanies. One of
these companies, the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, was fined $780,
240OO0 recently by Federal Judge Ian
dis, which sum is twenty7nine times its
capital stock. The Standard has an
nounced that the fine cannot be col
lected from the big Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey. The governments
next act is to move to dissolve the lat
ter as a violator of the Sherman anti
trust law.
The suit also aims to enjoin the
Standard Oil company from receiving
rebates and determinations in freight
rates, which were the cause of the
S29, ,240,O00 fine, the greatest penalty
ever imposed.

LABOR DAY PARADE.


New York, Sept. s. Union wage
earncrs In this city in honor of Labor
day turned out one of the biggest
parades New York has seen in many
years. More than $4,000 men were in
line. Ordinarily Labor day finds sew
eral local unions on strike or assess
ments 50 heavy for outside strikes
that many organizations plead their
inability to purchase any equipment
for the occasion. Aside from the uni
forms there was an unusually large
number of floats and banners, and
these were designed to show that the
men are working instead Of fighting.
Everything indicating unrest and hos
tility to the employing interests was
eliminated from the parade and the
day was made one Of rejoicing over
present good times rather than grum-
bling about bad times and forecast
ing greater evils to come.
Typographical union No. 6 also made
"a good showing. There were 5000
printers in line. and that is better
showing than the union has ever made
before. M J. Geary, former president
Of Big Six" and one of the veterans
Of the trade, was grand marshal of the
printers division. Besides Mr.. Geary
there were sixteen other former presi-
dents of the union in the line. The
first president of the organization was
Horace Greeley. All branches Of the
printing trades were better represented
than ON former occasions
While there has been falling off in
large building operations in New York
this year, all mechanics have had
steady employment at high wages, and
the building trades came out in greater
force than usual. John T. Taggart OF
the metal lathers was grand marshal
Of this division, with Joseph A. Mul-
laney Of the asbestos workers and w.

llIegaIity of the Saloon.
Judge Samuel r. Artman of the In
diana circuit court, whose decision that
the liquor traffic is inherently unlawful
has brought him into more than local
prominence, is now on a lecture tour
defending this proposition. He cited
various decisions of the higher courts
holding that liquor selling is not con-
stitutional right, not moral and not
a natural right. This he justified on
the ground that the saloon does not
advance the well being and morality Of
citizens. Judge Artman does not speak
as a prohibitionist or as member of
any party, but merely as jurist. His
expenses are paid by syndicate of In
dianapolis citizens, and he receives no
other pay. He is now in the east after
lecturing throughout the west.

Numerous Arrests Are Made.

San Francisco, Sept. 3.-Several men
were wounded, one probably fatally,

Mission streets, and large crowd was
waiting at the ferry building to go
across the bay to Shell Mound park,
where literary exercises and athletic
games were part Of the days pro-
gramme.
Conductor Fires Into Crowd.
For some cause not clearly under
stood, but believed to have been the
running of a street car close to the
assembled people, an attack was made
on Inspector L. j. Hall, who was start.
ing cars from the open terminal at the
ferry building. Conductor James Wat
kins and Motorman f. J. Durston i'm
mediately drew revolvers and fired.
This infuriated the crowd, and the
fighting soon extended along Market
street from the ferry building to the
junction of Sansome and Sutter streets,
distance of seven blocks. Police re-
serves from harbor and central sta
tions were called, and part of the fire
department was also summoned on
riot call
The first man arrested was mem
ber of the Structural Iron Workers
union, who was taken to the harbor
police. station. He and the arresting
officers were followed by crowd Of
men, who unsuccessfully attempted to
rescue the prisoner. John Peterson
suffered serious wound in the groin
during the attempted rescue. The po-
lice arrested Conductor Watkins, Mo
torman Durston and Conductor Robert
Tyler. Several members of the mob
were also arrested, but subsequently
were released for lack of evidence.

turb the rights of stockholders and In

erty. In his opinion the interstate
commerce commission Is vested with
q jurisdiction so tremendous that ii
cannot properly perform the function
required He thinks it is charged
with two sets of duties, requiring di-
verse qualifications. First, 1t must see
that these highways are in fact pub

and enforcing penalties for violation.
On the other hand, he perceives that
in the near future the operation of the
railway must also be undertaken by
the government. These duties, being
largely executive, can best be discharg
ed by a single head responsible to the
chief executive and answerable to the
spur of popular criticism. Therefore
Mr.. Prouty advocates the creation OF
new body to perform these executive
functions in the operation Of the rail

aeeneraw cosey,s New Crusade.


General" ]. s. Coxey, who some
years ago led sensational march on
Washington, is now out with a new
scheme, the main feature of which is
the absorption and operation by the
state Of railroads and other utilities
necessary to the peoples welfare. His
idea is to have these holdings taken
over by the states, payment being
made by the issue Of long term bonds,
these latter being deposited with the
federal government In return for an
issue of currency to the face value of
the securities less per cent for the
expense OF flotation. He thinks that
this loan could be repaid and the en-
tire expense of the state met by the
revenues accruing from the operation
Of the public utilities, thus making q
direct tax levy on private property un-
necessary. He would In a similar
manner extend his idea to counties
and municipalities. He declares the
idea OF controlling the big corporations
while their ownership rests with pri-
yate interests absurd and says that
public ownership win be ths veritable
salvation Of the country. Coxey is
said to! have amassed considerable
property since his famous march"

The cruiser Washington, which has

voted to the open ocean trial Of the
Viper, which was selected to make a
ninety-six hour sea test for the pur-
pose of determining endurance. The
performance of the Viper demonstrate

company. The accident occurred on a
sharp grade in the outskirts. The
brakes Of the car ahead set suddenly,
and the car behind crashed into 1t,

two other collisions before they could
be got under control. Both cars were
filed with persons.

Quebec, Sept. 8. Eighty-four men
were plunged to death when the su-
perstructure of what was to have been
the greatest cantalever bridge in the
world collapsed and sank into the st.
Lawrence river between Sillery and
st. Ronald, FIVE miles from Quebec.
All that remains of the grand struc.
ture are its huge abutments on the
shore, and in the river great mass
of tangled, twisted steelwork that pins
down the men who had been working
upon it. The scene is one Of utter
ruin.
OF the ninety-four men on the bridge
when it fell only ten men escaped
death. Some swan to shore, others,
who had clung desperately to the SUI
perstructure when the first ominous
creaking was heard, were rescued by
boatmen, and the remainder of those
who have lived to tell the tale had
fortunately run to the shore end of the
bridge when the metal gave its warn
ing.
OF the ten rescued eight are in the
hospital at Lewis, near the scene of
the disaster. Two of them are not ex-
pected to live.
The whistle had just blown for the
men to quit work for the day when
there came a grinding sound from the
bridge at midstream. The men turn
ed to see what had happened, and an
instant later the cry went up, "The
bridge is falling"
The men made rush shoreward, but
the distance was too great for them
to escape. The fallen section Of the
bridge dragged others after it, the
swapping girders and cables booming
like crash of artillery.
Steamer Narrowly Escapes.
The steamer Glenmont had Just
cleared the bridge when the first sec
ton fell. The water thrown up by the
debris came clear over the bridge Of
the steamer. The captain at once low
cred boats. The small boats piled
backward and forward over the sunk
en- wreckage for half an hour but
there was no sign of life. A few float
ing timbers and the broken strands Of
the bridge toward the north shore were
the only signs that anything unusual
had happened. There was not a ripple
on the smooth surface of the st. Law
renee as 1t swept along toward the
gulf.
There is scarcely a family In the viii
lage Of st. Romuald and New Liver
pool which has not been bereaved,
while in some cases five and six men
OF a single family have been killed.
From almost every house is heard
the sounds of lamentations of women
The men are gathered around the APP
proaches to the wrecked bridge caring
for the bodies Of the dead as they are
found.
The disaster caused much excitement
here and is regarded as national ca
lamity
Engineer MiracuIously saved.
The engineer Of switch engine had
marvellous escape. A track had been
laid on the bridge and an engine with
freight cars and several heavy moving
cranes were employed in getting the
steel into position. The engine start
ed out for the end of the bridge with
load of steel, and as it approached
the end the engineer felt his engine
llurch. He at once shut of steam, but
the engine continued to move. A mo-
ment later the collapse came. The en-
gineer fell with his engine, but is un-
able to say how he escaped. He was
picked up by boat and was uncon-
scious when brought ashore. When he
recovered his senses the. engineer could
