EST REPUBLICAN,"

Mayor Thompson has come out
with strong proclamation urging
Democrats to vote their party ticket
In the primaries next week and not
to cross over and help friends on the
Republican side. He does not recog-
nize Democratic opposition, but
argues that the cross-voting would be
a blow at the primary system. He
says:
Many Republican candidates for
the smaller county, city and ward
of1ces have been strenuously seeking
Democratic votes In next weeks pri-
maries. One Of the alluring argu-
ments they use Is that, II the Demo
cratic voter will only ask for a Re-
publican ballot, he can. In addition to
voting for them, vote for the weakest
Republican for mayor. and thereby
help Thompson
Il want TO say to all Democrats as
plainly and emphatically as the Eng
lish language will permit, that | do
not want any such help
Next year Is fraught with events
and possibilities Of too great mo-
ment to our city to permit any good
est man. Let us all place greater
store on patriotism than 'partyism.'
The best candidate Of either party will
have all ne can do to measure up to
the responsibilities Of the next IL
months. Besides, this interference by
one party In the nominations Of the
other. even though legally permissible.
is an assassin's blow at the direct pri-
mary system, Is morally indefensible
and cannot be too severely con-
demned.

TO SWITCH OFF
ELECTRIC LIGHT
TRUST
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAS
STARTED A FEDERAL GRAND
JURY PROBE IN SPITE OF
THREATS AND ENTREATiEs.

NEW YORK, Sept 19.-The federal
grand jury has been conducting
"gun-shoe" investigation Of the Gen
eral Electric Co.'S management and
also has been inserting the probe into
half a dozen other electric concerns
with view to establishing evidence
OF an unlawful combination.
II Is said that enough evidence has
already been secured TO warrant the
indictment OF a half dozen masters
Of finance" In the electrical world.
Astounding revelations are limited
at. The government Is convinced that
the electric street railway and electric
lighting business of the country are
absolutely controlled by the trust.
More than a dozen witnesses have
already been examined by the grand
jury. The taking of further testimony
has been postponed to enable the gov
ernment's trust probers" to collect
certain documentary evidence" The
best obtainable information Is that the
grand jury will not complete its work
until late in November.
The investigation was begun on the
order. OF President Roosevelt and Is
now being pushed at his express COM
mand. notwithstanding the emphatic
personal opposition OF men high In the
industrial and political world. This
is said. on high authority to have de-
veloped into the attempted coercion.
Fall to Bluff Roosevelt.
The advocates Of temporary delay
take the ground that inquiry during
the heat of a presidential contest may
work untold injury to the party. They
have tried to impress on the president
that his motives will be misconstrued;
that the Industrial interests will not
only become alarmed. but that the
opposition will attribute the action to
base political motives. They have
told Roosevelt that "he will catch IL
going and coming"
The president, so the authority Tor
this story says, has met these en-
treaties with the declaration that he
will not permit the mixing OF politics
and business.

CURR|E CREDITORS
SQUABBLE OVER
TRUSTEE
SMALL FRY OBJECT TO FRED q.
AUSTIN BEING NAMED, AND
SELECTION wtttNoT BE MADE
TILL NEXT WEDNESDAY.

heated discussion arose In the
hearing before Referee in Bankruptcy
Davock. Saturday morning, In the
Cameron Currie 4 Co. case, and the
outcome was that the creditors did
not elect trustee. for which purpose
the meeting had been called.
The same antagonism between the
big creditors and the smaller petition
Ing creditors developed that has come
up In every hearing since the matter
got into the federal court Attorney
James o. Muffin led in the fight for
the larger creditors, while Charles s.
Graves was the spokesman for the
others.
Cameron Currie and Louis H..
Case were partially examined. their
full examination being put off until
afternoon. The election OF a trustee
will take place next Wednesday.
Cameron Currie and Louis II. Case
were each asked whether they had
seen the schedules filed, and both
stated that they had and that they
were correct. They testified that they
had not concealed any OF their prop
erty or withheld II from the receiver.
Then their life insurance was gone
into, Currie,s insurance being payable
to his wife, and Cases to his father
and his estate.
Fred G.. Austin was nominated for
trustee, and Attorney Graves objected
to his election. He brought up the
point that the qualifications OF the
creditors to vote had not been deter
mined. Only general creditors are
~
many Of the larger creditors have
contended for preference all the way
In the case. thus barring them from
voting.
This was hotly debated. the contest
becoming quite personal at times. Al.
torpey Murfin admitted that many OF
the big creditors were not entitled to
vote.
Finally Referee Davock ended the
discussion by ordering that an after
noon session be held to go over the
books to determine which creditors
may vote and their voting power as
to amount OF money owing them from
the Arm.
Graves will also at this hearing
probe into the management OF Re-
ceiver Fred q. Austin, to ascertain
whether ne Is the proper man to act
as trustee. The petitioning creditors
assailed Austin's management to q
certain extent In their petition and II
Is expected that they will further fight
his election.
The developments Of the morning
point to full exposition Of the COM
pany's methods and condition before
the trustee Is selected.

The beginning or the Wright

their father brought home one day a
toy called a bat" The technical
name Is "helicoptice." 1t was con-
structed OF cork and bamboo covered
with paper. Two screws were driven
In opposite directions by twisted
rubber bands.
Father Wright wound up the novel
toy. released II. and II flew right
across the room up to the ceiling.
where II whirled around few times
and dropped to the floor.
They studied the new toy and
then went to school and growing UP
and thinking more about aerial
flying. Then came the big problem
to make a thing that would sail
in the air. and that you could sail
In and control. Being studious. clear
headed boys. they knew others must
have tried that, and they turned
TO their books on aeronautics,
thence to practical work.

HEARsTs EXPOSURE OF THE
ARcHsoLp LETTERS.
Salome Foraker's
Eth Veil Is Off

VIM. r. Hearst. at independ-
ence party campaign meeting In
Columbus, o., charged Senator
Joseph q. Foraker, Of Ohio,
with having accepted money
from the Standard OIL Co.,
through John D. Archbold. for
'jockeying" certain bills pending
In congress. producing a num-
Der Of letters from Archbold 70
Foraker, giving strong eircum-
stantIal evidence.
Foraker replies by typewrit-
ten statement to the press, de-
cIaring that the letters read by
Hearst probably referred to Ger.
tain acts of his while he was
counsel for the Standard OIL
Co., In connection with It's az
fairs In Ohio, where II was at
tackled In the legislature and In
the courts. He neglected to
state, however, why the letters
wherein. huge sums Of money are
spoken sof as having been paid
him, make specific reference to
the alteration Of certain clauses
In house bills and why he is
addressed az senator"
Following close upon Forak-
er's fllmsy denial comes another
dynamite bomb from Hearst, In
the shape Of two more letters
from Arehbold TO Foraker,
which the latter evidently did
not suspect were In possession
Of his enemies. One of these
exceedingly interesting missives
mentions the fact that a $780,
600 check Is enthusiastically
good pay for a lawyers fee,
even from Standard Oil, consid-
ering he had already been paid,
according to the first letters,
some $4,000. In the other Of
these two letters. Archbold, In
defense Of trusts, opposes GER
tain portions Of the anti-monop-
oily bill Of Senator Jones, Of
Arkansas.
Since the publication Of the
letters, II has been announced
BY Smith Bennett, Of the Ohio
attorney-generaPs office, that
the statement read by Hearst
was given him about ten days
ago and was secured by James
D. Dorrance, Of the New York
American. Bennett explains
reference to himself by saying
he put Archboid through a
crossexamination In New York,
In 1899. az attorney for the
state Of ohio, when he was as
sIsting In conducting a case
against the Standard OIL Co.
Ex-conoressman Joseph s.
Slbley has denied that he ever
wrote to Archboid telling him
that he had warned President
Roosevelt not TO offend the
Standard Oil Co.
Thus far Judge VIM. n. TAFT
has had no comment to make.

ChiId- Rescue Campaign

The story of the Delineator Child
Rescue Campaign is a simple one.
The President of the Butterick Pub
fishing Company wanted to do some
thing for children. He sent out to
Homer Folks, to DR.. Hastings Hart
and to various other experts in
c~hild-rescue work and became con-
vinced that the place for the normal
homeless child was in a home where
ever hearts were warm enough to
welcome him. Gradually from the
information accumulated was evolv-
ed the Child Rescue Campaign. The
editors of the Delineator have been
working upon the campaign since
last August and they are still learn
ing.
In the six months of its Child-Res-
cue Campaign the Delineator has ac-
complished certain results. 1t is
now in touch with forty-fve agen-
cies for placing children. 1t is in
correspondence with twelve hundred
institutions caring for children. 1t
has been surprised to find that a
number of these institutions are
ready and willing to surrender de.
pendent children to good homes, be-
lieving this to be the better method
of caring for them, and it is connect
ing such institutions with agencies,
1t has facilitated the placing Of sew
eral hundred children in good homes.
1t intends to go on as fast as wis
dom permits, in close connection
with the most advanced thinkers up
on the subject, and it believes that
the publicity given to this most i'm
portant work will result ultimately
in incalculable good to the children's
cause.
