B|G CLUSTERING
 DEMONSTRATION Congressman Richardson Talks of WarshipS' Voyage ROOSEVELT MADE BLUNDER Alabamian Does Not Mince Words In Discussing Acts of Administration
 Relative to Japan and the
 Campaign Issues.
ROOSEVELT MADE BLUNDER

Huntsville, August 30-(Special.) )-Re- spending to the request of the New York World for an opinion on the probable course Congress will take when asked to make special appropriation for send ng batteship fleet to the Pacific, and an expression relative to Speaker Can non's declaration that there should be no revision of the tariff, Representative William Richardson has telegraphed the following:
 'The sending of our battleship fleet to the Pacific. viewed in the light of recent events, Is unnecessary as peace measure. but 1t looks like bullying. clustering demonstration for Japan and Congress ought not to support and appro- priation for such a purpose. It was the grave blunder that President Roosevelt committed when he threatened, without authority of law. to use the army and navy against San Francisco if Japanese children were not admitted on equal terms to her white schools, that provoked such troubles as we now have with Japan. Such a movement of our battle ship fleet would unjustly provoke un- friendly feeling for us in Japan.
 The revision of the tariff on fair and reasonable business principles and amply securing the wages of labor, ought to be the great questions before the next Con gress, and will be the vital and controlling issues in the campaign next year. The 'stand-patters, with Speaker Cannon Tn the lead, will labor to keep down discus siion or action on the tariff on the fraz- zled and worn out promise that the stand patters themselves will revise after cleo tion. They have run the gamut of ex- cuses.
 ",rhe hue and cry against swollen for tunes and predatory wealth and popuing firecrackers in the tree tops about trusts, combines and corporations, will no longer obscure the fact that you must work on tariff schedules downward before relief comes. The tariff and the reserved rights of state as against the cen, traiizing tendencies of the Roosevelt ads ministration will be overwhelming issues of the can1naign of 1908." |"

REPLY BY FCRAKER.
He Says Enacted Bill Is Not the One
 Originally Drawn.

Cincinnati, August 30.-(Special.) )-''The Elkns bill drawn by the general counsel of the Pennsylvania railroad, Is not the Elkins bill which became a law This is in brief, the reply of Senator J. B. Foraker, to the charge that the Elkns bill was a railroad measure, which charge was made by Secretary Taft in a recent address. The bill he says, which was drawn by the railroad attorney and in troduced by Senator Elkins, was Senate bill No 3521, introduced February 4. 1902, while the bill that afterward became the Exlns law, was Senate bill Mo- 7053, in- troduced by Senator Elkins January 21, 19O5 The former bill was killed in the committee.
 Continuing. Mir. Foraker says:
 But why there should be such an ef- fort to discredit the Elkins law, con ceded by everybody to be the most ef- ficient statute that has ever been en- acted to regulate interstate commerce And what difference does it make who drew the bill, or whether it was favored or opposed by the railroads? The oues- ton is, whether or not 1t was good legis- laton, and the record of what has been done under it is its complete vfndica- ton in that respect.
 Senator Foraker says that he does not know who prepared the original draft of the Elkins bill but that his recollection IS that ne biCc HcdAo ochotCi tAhON oeAJ that he cid it. The repeal of the impris- onment clause, he says. was urged by Chairman Knapp and Governor Fifer. two members of the interstate commerce com sIon 'The repeal of that clause may have been agreeable to the railroads he said. but whether 1t was or not, so far as I can recall neither any railroad man nor any representative of a railroad apneared before our committee to say so We were governed in what we did in that respect wholly by what the inter state commerce commissioners, who were charged with the duty of enforcing the law, recommended

TAFT CAMP DELIGHTED
 WITH RESOLUTIONS PASSED
Report of pr. Reed, Chairman of the National Legislative Committee of
 the Association Inflicts Casti-
 gation Upon Foraker, Etc.
BY R. HORNADY.

Columbus, O., August 30.-(Special)- is conceded among politicians that one of the severest jolts yet given Senator J. B. Foraker was that administered by the Ohio State Medical association at Sandusky when 1t unanimously passed d resolution condemning him and his lieu tenant, Senator Dick, for their attitude of alleged hostility toward the pure food bill. The resolutions were sufficiently az gressive to create delight in the Taft camp, but they did not constitute all of the blows that were landed on the senior Ohio senator and chief political enemy of Secretary Taft. The most significant and far-reaching development was the report of Dr. C. A. l.. Reed chairman of the national legislative committee, who is ,ths official head of the entire medical pro- fession of the country, numbering 10000 physicianns. so far as legislative matters are concerned. Senator Foraker came in for a severe castigation in this report, and Congressman Nick Longworth, son. in-law of President Roosevelt also re- ceived a measure of censure. Both were tacitly charged with bad faith in con- nection with the pure food and drug bill passed by Congress last year.
 The report of pr. Reed. after reviewing at length the history of the pure food legislation, says that Senator Foraker, MT. Longworth and MT. Southard 'in spite of all protestations to the con- trary, came to be recognized as positive antagonists of the measure-except for publication. It was known in the Sen ate by the friends of the measures, days before the final fight, that the opposition had been arranged.- that Senator Foraker would appear for the crooked whisky in terests; that Senator Hemenway would act for the patent medicine men in gen. eral and for a quack medicine concern in Ellxhart, Ind, in particular; and that Sch ator Money would stand for the welfare of the bogus food people. This programme was carried out with such precision that the inference of collision and prearrange- ment was difficult to escape. It seemed likewise significant that when the debate came on in the Senate, Hon. J. s. Shir- le yof Kentucky, the recognized represen- tative of the crooked whisky interests that center in Louisville, occupied a seat in the Senate chamber by the side of Senator Foraker, whcm he frequently prompted while making his speech.
 Tn the House." the report continues. MT. Longworth's opposition was likewise yelled under the mask of avowed friend ship. His antagonism was, in fact, of the personal and insidious, rather than the official and open sort.'

SCOTTISH H|GHLANDERS
AND OTHERS At CRYSTAL

Nothing of its particular kind that
has ever appeared here, not except
ing the Kilties. is quite as clever as
the Scottish dancing and bag-pipe
playing of the Three Macs, headliners
at the vaudeville house this week.
All three are excellent. The little
girl is the most wonderful dancer
Imaginable. executing the sailors
hornpipe, Irish jig, Irish clog and
reel and Scotch reel with as much
respect for detail as a Scottish prize
dancer Mr.. Bruce. one of the trio,
does the national sword dance as 1t
has but seldom been done on this
side of the water. The other broth
er. Mr.. Angus, all covered with med
ais he has won at some hundred or
more contests in the Aud Country" +"
does the bag-piping for the brother
and sister, and II is on a par with
the dancing of the Others
One Of the most delightful selec-
tions on this rare instrument is
Marching Thro' Georgia" which oc-
casioned a storm OF applause last
night. The Three Macs will be at the
Crystal until Sunday night The
strains OF the bag-pipe will, un-
doubtedly, penetrate all over this vi
cinity and draw out every clan and
clansman in il.
Other equally clever numbers fill
out the program, notably the nimble
dancing. singing and banjo playing
of Osro L. Goodhue. who opens the
show.
Martino, flying ring performer
and gymnast. does good work and
adds to the general applause.
Joe Scotti sings good picture
ballad, and stage Struck" is no
slouch of a comic moving picture.
"A comedy team. Sherman and Full

this bill also got lost in the shuttle
some way or other and have not
showed up as yet. If they do and
when they do the management prom

WAY DOWN EAST"
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

The success which has attended
this rural drama as produced by
William A. Brady, elaborated and
staged by Jos. II. Grismer, would
have been of a phenomenal nature
under any circumstances, but consid
ering the number of years the piece
has been before the public, it is posi-
lively astonishing, of course, it is
true the plays modelled closely after
nature, have a lease on life that is
not characteristic of less faithfully
drawn works for while one may ad-
mire the complex situation and sharp
wit of a modern society comedy, it is
the simple episode of heart penetrat-
ing power that is carried home and
remembered.
The environment in which the
characters of Way Down East live
and move and have their being also,
is of a nature TO cause many a coun-
try-bred man and woman TO mount
the steed of memory, and go gallop-
ing through the years to the well
liked scenes Of their childhood. The
dooryard of the Squire's home on a
summers day, with a view of the
rolling meadow lands, and of the road
along which pass the various people
of the drama, is tempting in its at
mosphere of heartiness and hospital
ity: so too are the "Settin' room"
and the kitchen in which Mrs. Bart
let's friends take refuge from
driving storm, and sit down to sup
per before roaring fire.
The sugar shed in the forest next
shown is an appropriate surrounding
for the denouement of the play.
The village choir singing the old
songs completes the picture in as per-
feet a maner as of yore. AT the
Elks' opera house Friday and Sat
urday.
