National Committee Give. Out tn. Source of Information When
 Roosevelt Authorizes a De-
 niaI Through His Secretary.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Democratic National Committee issued a statement tonight quoting Timothy Healy, Pres tdent of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Bremen as authority for the allegation that Daniel J. Keefe had been promised by the Pres idenk an appointment as Commission. CT General of Immigration in return for that labor leaders support of Taft.
 The National Committee had prom ised to make known It's information If the charge was denied. and as 1t had been both by Keefe and at the White House. the National Committee quotes Mir. Healy In part as follows:
 T was in Washington Wednesday of last week on a matter dealing with our organization which brought me in contact with an official of high stand ing in the Government service. He said to me: Dan Keefe has been see lected for Commissioner General of Immigration.
 ! "Ts that so.' I said.
 Yes. the job is his.' he replied.
 'T asked him how he knew and he told me that his informant was a member of the Presidents Cabinet and knew what he was talking about
 This information was not given to me in a confidential manner. but I will not give my informant's name. for 1t Is plain to see what would happen to him if his name came out.
 "There is not any doubt in my mind but that the statement that the Pres that Keefe agreed to accept Is true. Perhaps the offer was not made at the conference on October last, but I believe it has been made.

 Mir. Keefe reiterated his statement made yesterday in regard to the al- legations that he was promised the Commisisonership of Immigration as reward for his support of Candidate Taft.
 Tt is not reasonable to suppose that the Republican Party. if it was in the business of buying votes, would waste it's energy and effort on lifelong Re. publicans.

No mention was made of the Immigration Department and the President did not ask me to accept the position made vacant by the death of the late Frank Sargent.
 'I am not and never have been candidate for that position. I do know of two other prominent labor men who are being urged for the place.
 "The circular sent out from the headquarters of the American Fed. eration of Labor of September 2s call ing on organized labor to defeat Mir. Taft was not authorized and was not an official document of the Federation. I have never seen the circular.

JUDGE PARKER TALKS
NEW YORKER SPENDS THE DAY
 IN NASHVILLE.
In An Address He Reads Roosevelt Hartman Correspondence and Appeals For . Law to Stop
 Corrupt Practices.

Nashville. Tenn. Oct 14-Judge Al- ton B. Parker spoke at the Auditorium tonight after spending the entire day as the guest of Nashville
 While in Nashville he was the guest of Colonel A. M. Shook. who served with Judge. Parker on the policyhold- CTS committee in the insurance invest igation in New York.
 In his speech tonight Judge Par ker vindfcated and defended his own attitude and statements in the 1904 campaign and made a strong plea for the %Sryan and Kern ticket.
 The keynote of hls talk was a de- the Federal statute books He read the Harriman-RooseveIt correspond ence and denounced the corrupting influence of campaign contributions, as- serting that no relief was to be ex- pected from the Republican Party. "When We have. discovered a cancer out growth ike this in our political life" he said, there is but one thing to do--cut t out to the very roots. WO want a corrupt practices act upon ouy statute books that Will forever pro tect the people of this country against this evil. If we do our duty-and God grant we shall--a Democratic Con. gress. inuuenced by MT. Bryan, wiu pass statute that will wipe this 5tdih run our pOlIlcal llTe.
 Judge Parker was very vigorous in his charges against the President in connection with the acquisition of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Com. pany by the United States Steel Cor poration, declaring Roosevelt had evi- dently allowed himself to be persuad- ed that the panic could be stopped by that purchase and that alone.
 He said Roosevelt had allowed hifn- self to be persuaded that the United States Steel Trust did not want to purchase this last of It's competitors but had done 1t as a charitable act.
 By his own admission" he said. "the question of combinations in restraint of trade became a question not of law but of executive act. And what was the executive order he could have made-but answer-'Go ahead. I won't prosecute you"
 He asserted that the trend of events as shaped by the Republican Party is to divest the States of their rights and little will be left except police power if the trend continues.
 Judge Parker will leave for the North tomorrow morning.

JAPANESE ASK FOR FRIENDSHIP Rescript Issued by the
 Emperor. UNION OF EAST AND WEST Says the One is Dependent on the
 Other. Appeals to the People to Practice Econoniy in Administration of

 ernment.

 The East and the West are depend ent upon one another for the promo ton of their mutual welfare, and on this account we should endeavor to cultivate the friendship of other na- tions. At the same time. 1t is highly important in these post-bellum days. that we should be united with other countries in advancing the industries. In this we shall be acting in connec- ton with the sacred traditions of our forefathers and our glorious national history. We trust that our loyal sub jects will assist us in glorifying the virtue of our forefathers."
 Srhe imperial rescrlpt published to- day, and which was intended to be ad- dressed to the foreign powers as well as to the people of Japan, became pub lie property because of an address made today by Premier Katsura be- fore the prefectural governors assem- bled in this city.
 The Premier outlined the Govern ment's economic policy and emphasized it's determination to reduce unproduc- tive expenditures. He requested the assembled Governors to corporate by the practice of every possible economy and by basing their plans for expendt- lures only upon actual rescript. The confidence which had been somewhat shaken by unwise and reckless finance. he said. could be easily restored by practical illustrations of determina- ton in the future to follow the paths of peaceful development and the culti- vation of friendliest relations with all countries.
 Speaking as Premier. Marquis Kat sura spoke at some length upon the rescript which, he said, must be con sidered a definite command from the Emperor for the people of Japan to demonstrate their intention of follow ing closely every form of economy and take a position befofe the world aR a peaceful and conservative power.
 Since assuming office. said the Pre- rnier. he had bent every effort toward a reorganization of the financial sys- tenn and he expressed 8 belief that his plans, when completed. would tend to bring about the results desired.
 The fact that tho foreign relations of Japan were increasingly cordial with all the nations. he declared. would be an incentive to the administration to remove every possible cause for friction and avoid future international complications.
