PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
HIS VIGOROUS MESSAGE
Declares Rich "Malefactors Responsible
For Panic.

CONGRESS CHEERS THE MESSAGE
The Senators Demand 10000 Extra Copies Of Document
Believed to Be Strongest Roosevelt Ever Wrote
Vigorous Onslaught Enemies Of
People and Administration.

Washington Especially President
Rooseyelt's messages to Congress are
always noteworthy; but the special
message he sent in Friday will stand
foremost of all he has written. When
1t had been read in the Senate. Sena-
tor Davis, of Mississippi, sprang to
his feet and moved that 10000 extra
copies be printed for general distri-
button, while in the House, there
was pandemonium of enthusiasm,
in which both sides of the chamber
Joined.
The ostensible subject of the mes
sage is the Presidents urgent recon-
mendation to re-enact forthwith an
employers liability law to replace the
measure recently declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
When that law was rejected by the
Supreme Court, it was foretold in
these dispatches that Mr.. Roosevelt
would write special message urging
new law.
1t Is stated on excellent authority
that the message read today was not
sent in as originally written, but that
1t has been very considerably toned
down" In that event, the fervor OF
the original message can be matter
of only the liveliest conjecture. For,
after discussing the subject of en-
ployers' liability and then the need
for government insurance of govern
ment employees, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
views, at length. the assaults that
have been made upon him and his
policies, and his language has never
been more vigorous.
Chancellor Day, Mr.. Choate, for
mer Governor Black and all the other
prominent writer's and political lead
ers who have made him the object
of their attacks are handled without
gloves, nor does the President for an
instant make it difficult for his VIC
Tins to identify themselves from
among the list of those whom he
discusses
Made The Timid Gasp.
The message covers an enormous
range. 1t reiterates the Presidents
views about corporations and spre.
datory wealthy. He dwells at length
with judicial decisions bearing upon
labor topics, renews his request for
some restriction upon the courts in
granting injunctions, and advocates
that the government assume trade
risks and guarantee its employees
damages in case of injuries. He
warns Congress of the need for leg
islation to prevent stock gambling, to
authorize the federal government to
assume certain measure of control
over the physical operation of rail-
ways" He urges the rate legislation,
a modification Of the Sherman anti
trust law and legislation of pooling.

The King and Crown Prince, upon
whom the attack was directed, were
each shot three times and they lived
only long enough to be carried to
the marine arsenal nearby, where
they expired.
Almost at the first shot the King
fell back on the cushions dying, and
at the same moment the Crown
Prince was seen to half arise and
then sink back on the seat. Queen
Amelia jumped up and threw her.
self toward the Crown Prince in an
apparent effort to save his life at
the cost of her own, but the Prince
had received his death wound.
The police guard fired upon the
assassins and killed three of them.
The royal family were returning
from Villa Vicosa, where they had
been sojourning, and were on their
way from the railroad station to the
palace.
Before any of the guard were
aware of what was happening the
assassins leaped toward the carriage
and instantly a fusillade of shots
rang out. In a moment all was ter
rible confusion, the King and Crown
Prince being shot down without the
slightest chance to save themselves.
Police guards sprang upon the regi-
cides, the number of whom is some
what uncertain. and killed three of
them and captured three others. One
of these committed suicide after be-
ing placed in prison. 1t is charged
that one of the murderers was a
Spaniard named Cordeva.
The bodies of the King and the
Crown Prince were removed from
the Maren Arsenal in two closed
carriages to the royal palace. the Pace
Das Necessidades, the late residence
of the King, escorted by municipal
guards, mounted.
The news of the assassination
swept through the city like fire
through dry grass. There is the
greatest dread for the future of the
country, which seems on the verge
of being plunged into the awful
.throes of revolution, with all the
attendant horrors and bloodshed.

SOME INCIsIVE SENTENCES
IN THE MESSAGE.

4
/ do not for moment believe
the actions of this Administers
ton have brought on business
distress.
1t is due to speculative folly
and fragrant dishonesty of few
men of great wealth, who seek
to shield themselves from the
effects of their own wrongdoing
by ascribing its results to the
actions of those who have sought
to put a stop to the wrongdeing.
But IL 1t were true, to cut out
rotteness from the body polite I
should not for a moment hesi-
tate to put the knife to the cor
ruption.
We act in no vindictive spirit
and we are no respecters of per-
sons.
The business which is hurt
by the movement for honesty is
the kind of business which, in
the long run, it pays the country
to have hurt.
Certain wealthy men whose
conduct should be abhorrent to
every man of ordinarily decent
conscience have during the last
few months made it apparent
that they have banded together
to work for a reaction.
Their endeavor is to over
throw and discredit all who hon.
estly administer the law.
The amount of money the rep
resentatives of certain great
moneyed interests are willing to
spend can be guaged by their re-
cent publication of huge adver-
tisements attacking with enven-
omed bitterness the Administra-
TONS policy of warning against
successful dishonesty.
The books and pamphlets, the
controlled newspapers, the
speeches by public or private
men to which refer, are usual
ly and especially in the interest
of the Standard Oil Trust and
of certain notorious railroad
combinations.
Corrupt business and corrupt
politics act and react with ever
increasing debasement, one on
the other; the corrupt head of a
corporation, the corrupt labor
leader. the rebate taker, the
franchise traffcker, the manip-
ulator of securities, the purvey-
or and protector of vice, the
Matchmaking ward boss, the bal
lot-box suffer, the demogogue,
the mob leader, the hired bully
and man-killer-all alike work
at the same web of corruption,
and all alike should be abhorred
by honest men.
The Administration and those
who support it's views are not
engaged in an assault on prop
erty.
