WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-"1n per-
forming a solemn duty at this time IN

not become partisan to political
party, but partisan to principle, oe-
clared President Gompers OF the amer

He charges that the Republican
party and its candidates stand for
further extending in this country
a despotic government vested IN the
judiciary and that the Democratle
party stands for government by law
vested in the people.
The circular is addressed TO Men
of Labor Lovers of Human Liberty,
and says in part:
"The Judiciary induced by corpora
tions and trusts and protected by the
Republican party is, step by step, de-
stroying government by law and SUD-

power under the ermine is as dam
gerous as despotic power under the
crown"
The circular refers to Judge Taft as
"the originator and specific champion
of discretionary government" and Mr..

TWENTY-FIVE ARE KILLED BY
GENDARMES
AFFAIR KEPT SECRET; DiPLo-
MATS IN CONFERENCE
Report Circulated That Japan Intends
to Annex Korea Denled-Miss
take Cause of Slaughter
Is Claim
rBv Associated Press.1

SEOUL, Oct. 13.-It has just been
learned that twenty-five members OF
the "Il Chin Hoi," the pro-Japanese
organization of Korea, were killed by
the Japanese ,gendarmes at Cho Dado
few days ago. The affair has been
kept quiet, but has occasioned much
uneasiness, because it might be con-
sidered as a ruthless slaughter OF un-
offensive Koreans by the Japanese sol
diery, and calculated to confirm pre-
vious reports of unnecessary cruelty
practiced by the Japanese in Korea
The matter has been reported to
Marquis Ito, resident general of ko-
rea, who Is now in Toxic.
Adviees from Toxic state that Mar
quis Ito has held conferences with
Premier Katsura and Viscount Terau-
chi, minister of war. and 1t is under
stood that a cabinet council will be
called to consider the question and
decide upon the future action to be
taken.
Annexation Feared
In consequence of these conferences
the report is being widely circulated
that the Japanese government has de-
cided to Immediately annex Korea.
The Associated Press. however, is
assured that this is absolutely un-
true, and that in fact no change In
Japan's general policy toward Korea
has ever been considered.
The explanation advanced of the
killing of the members of the I'll Chin
Hoi" shows that forty of the Koreans
were marching in body to visit
shrine, when the Japanese gendarmes
met them, and mistaking them for a
band of insurgents, Immediately at
tackled the party, killing twenty-five.

BERLIN BALLOON
RACES CONTINUE
ACCIDENT TO AMERICANS Is
TRACED TO APPENDIX
Forbes and Post, Recovered from Eff
fects of Thrilling 4o0o=Foot Drop,
They Are Shown Great
SoIicitude
[By Associated Press. ]

BERLIN, Oct. PA. Holland Forbes
and Augustus c. Post, the two Ameri-
can aeronauts who yesterday had a
narrow escape from death when their
balloon, the Conqueror burst in the
air al an altitude of 1000 feet, had COM
pletely recovered this morning from the
effects of their thrilling experience.
Mr.. Forbes drove out this morning
and examined what was left of the bal
loon prior to having it packed for
transportation back to New York,
where it will be shipped tomorrow.
Although nothing definite has been
established. the general opinion is that
the accident was@aused by the length
of the appendix, Which did not permit
the gas to escape with sufficient rapid
ity as it expanded with ascent.
This occurred in spite of the fact that
the valve was completely opened, and
the result was the concentration of
great pressure at the top of the balloon
which ended in the break.
Mr.. Forbes said today he could not
find words adequate to express his
thanks for the kindness and the assist
ance received from all sides. He has
been overwhelmed with inquiries as to
his condition and has received hundreds
of cards, letters and kilograms of con-
graduation and large quantities of
flowers.
Emperor William has sent one of his
personal adjutants to make inquiries,
and he expressed a desire to meet Mr..
Forbes this evening.
Mr. Forbes probably will go to Eng
land, where he will make other ascen-
sions.
No news has yet been received con-
cerning the positions of the other con-
testants who started from here yes
terday in the race for the international
cup.
Forty balloons got away this after
noon without incident il an endurance
contest. There was one British entry,
the remainder We're German.
None of the balloons that left Sun
day in the international cup contest
had descended up to a late hour this
evening. The American entries We're
last sighted travelling towards Rossia.

ARGUMENTS OF NEW YORK EX'

Continued from Page One,

{E0Ittnued 1r0m RaEs OBct
the platform is sufficient proof that
the convention had no intention OF
including the patent in the operation
of an antitrust law.
81 explained this some weeks ago
when the objection was first made.
but the objection was so silly that l
did not suppose that 1T would be
made by anyone with any sense of
responsibility.
'Does Mr. Hughes really think that
our $anti-trust plank really Intended
to apply to a patent, or is he so hard
pressed for arguments that he must
use that argument anyhow?
"A patent grants a monopoly for a
limited time, as a reward for an In
yention. The trusts we are opposed
to have not invented anything. and
they acknowledge no limit as to time.
Trusts and inventors
"The trust attempts to corner the
market and is not only against the
statute law, but it is an offense against
the common law and an offense against
the morals, and Mr.. Hughes cannot be
so obtuse as not to understand the
distinction between the trust that we
are fighting and business that is
-otected by a patent.
"But let US take the so per cent limit
which he regards as. .unscientific. The
plan which he proposes will apply first
to corporations which have not yet
reached the so per cent limit and to
corporations which have already
reached that limit.
Corporations which have not yet
reached that limit would simply stop
expanding when the limit is reached,
and that would entail no hardship up
on them; and it would not be difficult
to apply it to corporations which have
already passed the 50 per cent limit.
Laws do not take effect Immediately
upon their passage. There is always
a time between the date of enactment
and the date when the law takes ef-
feet, and when a law involves a ma
terial change in conditions, a sufficient
time is given for necessary readjust-
ments"

NEVADA MINERS ARE
OVERCOME IN SHAFT
tBy Associated Press.1

AUSTIN, New, Oct. 12.-"Boys, I am
going" With this cry, A. Dron, a
pioneer mining man of this place, fell
inert on the 450-foot level of the Frost
shaft Sunday and expired of asphyx-
iation He had gone fifteen feet below
the point where the air was good and
was overcome by the deadly gas that
pervades the lowest levels of the shaft.
Conrad Cunningham and Henry VIII
liams, two fellow miners, dropped
down the shaft in an effort to rescue
Dron. The foul air put out their
candles and their efforts to find Dron
in the darkness We're futile. They,
too, were overcome.
When the plight of the men became
known, rescuers were lowered into the
death trap and were able to bring the
unconscious men to the surface For
an hour doctors worked over the bodies
and finally restored them. All efforts
to revive Dron proved of no avail.
