LIE 80 YEARS OLD.
Is the Way Guffey Brands Charge
Made by Haskell.

Pittsburg, Oct. I'm reply to Gov
ernor Haskelrs open letter to President
Roosevelt in which Colonel ]. M. Cuff
few. former Democrat national COM
mitteeman from Pennsylvania and T.
w. Barnsdall, Pittsburg oil operators,
are charged with being agents for the
Standard Oil company and in that ca
pacity having engaged in conferences
with President Roosevelt the following
statement has been given to the As
sociated Press by Guffey:
''Haskens statement that 1 ever dis
cussed either Usage oil lease with
the president is an absolute falsehood.
The fact is, 1 never met or spoke to
President Roosevelt but once and that
was at a reception and dinner given
to him on July 4, 1902. at the Schenly
hotel, Pittsburg. That I am connected
with the Standard Oil company is a lie,
more than 80 years old, revived every
once in a while by some scoundrel en-
deavoring to shield his own iniquities."

TO STAY ON THE STUMP
Taft Will Spend Remainder of Cam
paign in South and East.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-William H. Taft's
entry into this city today was without
political significance. He arrived from
st. Louis on his special train at 3
O'Clock and went to the Union League
club. where he was called upon by
Chairman Hitchcock who arrived from
New York today. Announcement was
made by Chairman Hitchcock today
that Mr.. Taft would remain on the
stump until the close of the campaign
The itinerary of Mr.. Taft's next tour,
which will start next week, has not
been finally determined but will prob
ably take the Republican candidate for
one or two days into each of the fol-
lowing states:
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana,
West Virginia. Maryland, New Jersey,
New York and Connecticut. Mr.. Taft
will make no more trips through the
west. 1t was announced at headquar-
ters by Mr.. Hitchcock that Mr.. Sher-
man would remain in the east during
the rest of the campaign and that be-
ginning October 10, Vice President
Fairbanks would speak through the
eastern states. Senators Long, Dolli-
yer and Smith will be left in the west
to carry on the fight and Secretaries
Root and Straus will aid Mr.. Taft in
the east on the stump.
The chairman said that the Repub-
lican party in the west had shown
such a degree of vitality that the or
ganization did not need the personal
attention that he at first intended to
give it.
Mr. Hitchcock declared that Taft and
Hughes will carry New York.

men ARE BARRED.
Women VIII Conduct an Experimental
Farm on Long Island.

New York. Oct. 7.-Long Island is to
have an "Adamless Eden" Nine. Dav-
idoff. native of Russia. but now a
resident of New York city, is estab-
fishing an experimental farm at Belle
Crest, which will be operated by wo-
men. Men will be barred from the
green houses, where fruits and flowers
are to be grown every month in the
year by the aid of electricity. While
similar experiments have been made by
this and other g0yernments, Nine.
Davidoff believes her experiments will
prove more successful than those car
ried on by the bureau of planting in
dustry of the department of agricu1-
ture.
Nine. Davidoff is a writer for maga-
zines. She says the experiments will
be based on the theory that the growth
of vegetable matter, which ceases at
sundown, will continue through the
night if proper artificial light is sup
piled to stimulate the developing pow
ers of plants. Fruits and flowers that
are grown in this section only in the
spring and summer months, she be-
lieves, can be cultivated during the en-
tire year by supplying the necessary
artificial light through the electrical
process that will be adopted.

TUBERCULIN THE THING.
Declared to Be the Best Weapon for
Fighting tuberculosis.

Washington, Oct. THE worlds great
est scientists have agreed that the use of
tIberculin is the weapon most essential in
the warfare against tuberculosis I'm cattle.
This was one of the significant results of
prolonged discussions during the interna-
tional congress on tuberculosis and the
fact that on this vital point in the cam
paign against this deadly disease there
was unanimity of opinion of the foremost
figures in the medical profession, was
made public today in. a statement by Or.
Ieonard Pearson of Philadelphia. DR..
PEARSON was president of section seven
of the congress. especially devoted to the
subject of tuberculosis of animals and it's
relations to man.
ssT,lberculin is not infallible'' said DR..
Pearson Nothing is. but the errors that
follow its use are less than one per cent"
This view TO the accuracy of tuberculin
was unanimously accepted by the con-
gress. Not the faintest trace of distrust
was suggested as to the necessity of using
tuberculin in clearing herds of tubercu-
losis No resolution was adopted on the
tuberculin test. tuberculosis of cattle will
ultimately be controlled in this country
and the work of control will. to large
extent. be supported and accepted by the
use OF tuberculin test.

THERE WAS LIGHT FROST.
1t Is Growing Warmer Again This
Afternoon.

A light frost occurred last night.
though only the exposed portions of the
city suffered and vegetation at these
points was killed by the frosts of last
week. The temperature was 16 degrees
lower this morning at o'clock than it
was at the corresponding hour Tues
day, though the mercury rose rapidly
after that hour until at o'clock it re-
corded 65 degrees.
The light wind which has prevailed
during the day has been from the north
with a velocity of five miles an hour.
The forecast indicates generally fair
weather tonight and Thursday, though
there is a possibility of showers in some
portions of the state though not in this
section. 1t is not likely that there will
be any great change in the tempera-
ture readings during the next "a hours
when compared with those of today and
last night. The following were the

that every great Improvement, like
that of the lakes to the gulf, like that
of the Ohio river, like that of the Mis-
souri, river like the Atlantic seaboard

by itself as one great enterprise, just
as we have treated the Panama canal,

Emigration from this country con-
ttnues at an astonishing rate Depar-
lures for the month of May numbered
75,345. The total emigration for the
first five months of the calendar year
amounted to 319,368, and for the first
eleven days Of June there was an add
ton of 29,2S3. immigration was very
much smaller, the total for the five
months being but 1858, and this
strange condition of affairs comes soon
after the fiscal year that gave us the
largest immigration in our history. In
the one month of May, 1907, the immi-
grafton was considerably greater than
the returns for the five months Of this
year. The immigration for May, 1905,
was 15O,907. There is always emigra-
ton as well as immigration, but for the
first five months Of 1907 it was only
114,137. or 2O4,231 less than the fig
ures for this year. In contrast with
this years increase there is a decrease
in immigration for the same period of
more than 100000. The cause of the
change is, of course, the depression in
business following upon time Of ex-
traordinary prosperity, but this general
explanation leaves much to be desired.
While we agree with those who say
that what has happened is a remark
able exhibition of automatic regulation,
it would be interesting to know the rea-
sons that are effective in many individ-
ual cases. Manifestly the emigrants
can hardly be the poorest of their kind,
since the poorest are not likely to have
the means to travel. Furthermore, the
prospects are not so bright in Europe
as to be altogether alluring. The emf
grants should carry considerable capt.
tai with them to support them after
they return home. But even If the
poorest remain it would seem that the
effect of this outflow must be to ease
the competition In the labor market,
and there is no expectation that there
will be any reversal Of the present
tendencies for some time to- come. It
Ia said that the steamship companies
believe that the emigration will con-
tinue IN a large stream, and also that
owing to the changed conditions the i'm
migration officials have found it neces-
sary to reduce the number of their en-
ployes.
