the Burglars Wounded.

Greenwich, CT. (Special) -Conyers
Manor, the 1900 acre estate OF L.
G.. Converse a wealthy New Yorker
and director Of the United States
Steel Corporation. was the scene or
a thrilling pistol duel between three
burglars and the night watchman on
the estate. The men were driven
off after a number of shots had been
fired and Just as MIR. Converse, him
self heavily armed. rushed from the
house and went to the watchman' S
assistance The watchman declares
that one of the would-be robbers
was struck by a bullet, but he prob
ably was not dangerously hurt, as
he picked himself up and made his
escape with his companions. 1t is
believed the three men had an auto
mobile in waiting outside the
grounds. as a moment after the
shooting a car carrying three men
was seen racing away toward Bed
ford, n. Y.
The presence of the burglars in
the grounds was made known by
Mr.. Converse's pet collie, who dash
ed out of the house, barking loudly,
and ran to a hedge near the watch
mans cottage. The watchman went
down to make an investigation. AS
he approached the hedge three men
sprang upon him, pinioned his arms,
and then one of the trio pointed a
revolver at his head and directed
him to make no outcry. In the
meantime the collie's barking had
aroused the household, and when
lights began to flash in the windows
the robbers became frightened and,
releasing their prisoner, ran down
beside the hedge toward the street.
The moment he was released the
watchman opened fire with two re-
volvers which he carried, and the
fleeing desperadoes, turning as they
ran, sent back shct for shot. Just
as the three men were about to turn
through an opening in the hedge
leading to the road, the watchman
says one of them threw up his arms,
sprang into the air and fell to the
ground in heap. A moment later,
however, he was on his feet and
running after his companions. All
three succeeded in getting away just
as Mr.. Converse. with a revolver in
either hand, rushed across the lawn
to take a hand in the battle.
The Converse estate is one of the
finest of many beautiful summer
places maintained by wealthy New
Workers in this vicinity. 1t is situ-
ated about eight miles from the CEN
ter of the village proper.

SALIENT POINTS IN TAFT S
SPEECH ACCEPTING RE-
PUBLICAN NOMINATION

The chief function of the next
Administration is to complete and
perfect the machinery by which
these Roosevelt's) standards
may be maintained.
The practical constructive :.
work of those who follow Mr..
Roosevelt is to devise the ways
and means by which the high
level of business integrity and
obedience to law may
be maintained and departure from
1t restrained without undue inter
ference with legitimate business.
Mr.. Roosevelt has favored
regulation of the business In
which evils have grown up 50 as
to stamp out the evils and per
nit the business to continue The
tendency of Mr.. Bryan's pro Jsals
has generally been destTuct of
the business with respect TO which
he is demanding reform.
Unlawful trusts should be re-
strained with all the efficiency OF
injunctive process, and the per-.
sons engaged in maintaining them
should be punished with all the
severity of criminal prosecution,
in order that the methods pur-
sued in the operation of their
business shall be brought within
the law. To destroy them and to
eliminate the wealth they repre-
sent from the producing capital
of the country would entail enor-
nous loss and would throw out
of employment myriads of work.
ing men and working women.
A revision of the tariff under
taken upon this principle
(making 1t approximately equal
to the difference between cost of
production at home and abroad)
began promptly on the
incoming of the new Administra-
tion, and considered at special
session with the preliminary in
vestigations already begun by the
appropriate committees of the
House and Senate, will make the
disturbance of business incident
to such a change as little as pos
sible.
This provision (for
jury trial in prosecutions for con-
tempt OF Federal inJunctlOns)
in the (Democratic) plat
form of 1896 was regarded then
as a most dangerous attack upon
the power of the courts to en-
force their orders and DEGREES,
and 1t was one of the chief rea-
sons for the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party in that contest, as 1t
ought to have been. The extend
ed operation of such provision
to weaken the power of the court
in the enforcement of its lawful
orders can hardly be overstated.
The Republican platform adopt
ed at Chicago explicitly demands
justice for all men without regard
/. to race or color, and just as ex-
plicitly declares for the enforce
ment, and without reservation,

Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that | stand with
my party squarely on that plank
of the platform.
We must be prudent, and not
be lulled into a sense of security
which would possibly expose us
to national humiliation.
