WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-Secretary
of War Taft returned to Washington
this morning after a months vacation
at Murray Bay, Can. He was at the
war department early this morning, but
denied himself to all callers and de-
voted his time to a revision OF the

is said to deal largely with the sub
ject of tariff revision, in favor Of
which the secretary of war takes a
strong position.
Secretary Taft prepared the outline
of his remarks before leaving Murray
Bay and took a rough draft of the
speech with him to Oyster Bay and read
it to the president. It is said that the
president gave his Endorsement to the
utterances of the secretary and added
some suggestions so that it may be
said the speech will reflect the views
of the president upon the subject.

Speaks
ON Corporation
Prosecutions
Slump in the Stock
Market Is Not Due
to Federal Work

Special bp Leased Wire to The Call
WASHINGTON, Aug. a.
Attorney General Bonaparte made
a statement this afternoon to The
Calls representative regarding
the governments policy toward
corporations. He said that the
number of corporations and indi-
viduals to be prosecuted was
small, and pointed out that, while
the effect would be felt by specu-
lators, it would not operate to
undermine the general prosperity
of the country
In view of the general decline of
important stocks and a general
fear of. radical antitrust activity
by the governments which has pre-
vailed in Wall street, Bonaparte
was asked this question
rs the business Of the great
corporations of the country gem
orally conducted on such unlaw-
full principles that the prosecu--
tions deemed necessary by the
law department of the United
States will unsettle industrial
conditions and lessen our pros
perity?"
Bonaparte replied
II know of no act which would
justify any such statement There
have been violations OF federal
statutes by some corporations
and by some individuals, and. as
far as this department. can accom-
plish it, the guilty corporations
and the guilty individuals will be
brought to trial, and, when con-
victed, to punishment; but the
number of each is small, and the
vindication of the law can, in my
opinion. have only beneficial eff
feet on the prosperity OF the coun-
try, although it may demoralize
some spectators.
This interview was sent to Bona
parte tonight for verihcation or cor
rcction if needed. 1t is published as
finally approved by him.

NEW YORK, Aug. a.
Panic reigned on the New
York stock exchange during
the last half hour today
when, on the news of the
twenty-five million dollar
failure Of the Pope manufac-
turing company, brokers
fought in a wild rush to get
rid of stocks, apparently at
any cost. Fortunes were
lost when the most active
stocks dropped in value
from So to $40 a share, while
the less active stocks could
not find buyer.
A runor that one of the
big leather companies was
about to fail increased the
panic. Altogether it was
such a day as had not been
experienced on the stock ex-
change for many months.
Disappointment in regard
to a statement which had
been expected from Presi-
dent Roosevelt caused trad
ers to attack the market.
The result was almost COM
plete generalization.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Latter Was Getting Coal to Build
Fire and Was Mistaken
For a Thief.

Because he refused TO drop a lump of
coal that he took from a car standing in
the yards to build a fire for himself and
fellow workmen. Harry Emerson, a Union
Pacific railroad employe. was shot
through the left arm by a Greek watch
o'clock yesterday forenoon. The bullet
was from a 38-calibre revolver and pene-
trated the fleshy part of the arm. Deems
was arrested and locked up at the police
station
1t is evident that the Greek thought
that he had captured thief and that he
shot to kill. it is claimed that during
the past week Greek outfit car that
has been standing in the. yards has been
robbed Of number of articles of value.
Those who make their home in the ear
decided to employ a Waterman in the
hope of catching the thief. Deems, who
is q years of age, was employed with the
understanding that he would be RESPONSE
bic for all articles stolen while he was on
duty On Monday watch and a revolt
yer were stolen and the loss was charged
up against the new Waterman. 1t is quite
likely that this had much to do with
DEEMS action in shooting Emerson.
Yesterday morning while il was vet dark
Emerson went from the freight house to
for himself and other employees in the
transfer department. 1t was while he
was in the act of carrying off the coal
that Deem got sight of him and ordered
him to stop. Emerson paid no attention
to the command of the Greek and when
he refused to halt after second COM
mand was ISSUED Deems fired. Had his
aim been true ii is more than likely that
he would have shot Emerson through the
heart instead of the arm.
Other employees fastened to the assist
ance of Emerson and after taking care of
him Deems was detained until the police
arrived and placed him under arrest
There is considerable feeling among the
railroad men over the shooting.
