In Dense Fog the MayfloWer'
Cuts Schooner in Two

Presidents Cruiser Slightly
Danlaged..-A He Slept
Through 1t All

Newport, R. L., July 22.-When the
trim little cruiser yacht Mayhower,
with the presidents white crested
flag flying at the mast head steam
ed into the harbor nearly two hours
behind schedule time with her bow
spirit missing, one anchor gone, bow
plates dented and six strange fig
ures in oils ms and souwesters
gathered in a dory, brought the story
of an adventurous nights run in the
blacklist fog Of the summer and of
collision in which a lumber laden
schooner, the Menawa, was cut prac-
tically in two by the presidents
yacht
A life boat lowered from the May
flower picked up the crew of six men
on the sinking boat. They were TAX
en- on board and today when the
Mayflower arrived here, the presi-
dent, who was ignorant of the ae-
cident, and danger of the collision
until he arose this morning, direct
ed that they be given sufficient mon
ey to take them to their homes in
Maine and that the master of the
schooner be provided with trans
portation to the Office of his agents
at New York.
Having been picked suddenly out
of the blackness of a nasty night
and set down on board the yacht of
the president, dazed the men who
had lost their boat, and they did
not know just how to respond to
the sincere words of regret over
their mishap of the morning and his
provision for their journey home.
Commander Snowden, who was in
command Of the Mayf1ower, summon
ed the men to his cabin, and organ
lied summary court of inquiry, in
which he took their statements for
use in any investigation that the
navy department at Washington
cared to undertake.
The Mayf1ower, after leaving the
president and his family at Oyster
Bay, will probably go to New York
to the navy yard for thorough exam
ination and repairs. There was no
excitement of any sort on the yacht
at the time of the collision, and the
life boat crew got away their craft in
fine style. The men on the schooner
had launched a boat Immediately
after being struck by the Mayfiower
and were rowing away from the
wreck when the Mayf1ower's boat
hailed them.

Mr.. Parsons of New York arrived
this morning, and was in conference
with Judge Taft throughout the day.
Frank B. Kellogg was present, and the
work in hand was the revision of the
Cincinnati speech.
During this conference news of the
reversal of Judge Lands decision in
the Standard Oil rebate case was re-
ceived, but aside from evincing de-
sire to get the details of the decision,
no comment was INDUCED in by Mr..
Taft or his eonferees. Ill
Judge Taft announced that he had
received a letter from Governor
Hughes of New York, accepting an
invitation extended to him by Judge
Taft some few days ago, to open the
Republican campaign in Ohio at
Youngstown September S.
Mr.. Parsons would venture no opin.
ion as to whether Governor Hughes
was to be named again for governor
.of New York, nor would he commit
himself as to his probable success OF
defeat. When asked regarding the
Republican outlook in the Empire
state, Mr.. Parsons remarked that the
party had a fight to make, but he be
lieved success would be attained.

possibility of war. Mr.. Roosevelt
characterized the navy as the cheap
est form of safety insurance policy

The conference included no less
than ten admirals of the navy and a
host of officers from the grade of
captain and below. Army officers
from Fort Adams and Fort Greble also
were invited to the conference. The
officers applauded the prsidnt's ag-
grssive naval address almost continu-
ously. The president spent the en-
tire time he was here upon the naval
stand.
President Roosevelt and. other mem
bers of his. party and family were
guests at a luncheon given by Rear
Admiral and Mrs Merrill. All navy
families in the vicinity were invited
to meet Pres ident and Mrs. Roose-

2 DESPERADOES SHOOT ELEVEN IN BOSTON

The record Of the present case con-

thorities may make will be to trans

Investigations led to Indictments
containing about 1000 counts against
the Standard oil people.
ISL The most striking portion of the
decision was the attitude of the court,
in saying: Counsel for the govern
'ment say in conclusion of their briefs
that the Elkins act was passed for the
peace of society and the welfare Of
the people demanded it, and that the
inequality means ruin to all except
those powerful enough to make them
selves beneficiaries under the act.
That discrimination means the Wiping
out of an industry, of town, or a
city at the command of any officer of
a. corporation, and that railroad in
equality is the basis of monopoly
and wrong concentration of wealth.
That no law of more vital Importance
was ever passed by congress, and that
those guilty of violating its sacred
principles commit a crime against the
very principal of industrial freedom
and equality"
Judge Grosscup also said: Every
sentence of this is true. That this
court recognizes the enforcement Of
this act should be carried out to the
letter, and that the penalties should
be severe, but that the interstate
commerce laws are not the only laws
under which which we live. ia We live
under guarantee reaching back to
the very beginning of our law and its
security planted in every constitution
of the civilized world, which saws that
no person shall be punished until he
has been heard and above this is nc
fundamental guarantee that can be
set to higher purpose, for let il
once come to pass that under stress
of enforcing equality, any power in
the government may override these
fundamental principals of being judge
and jury, there will remain no com
merce worth mentioning or naming
The courtroom was crowded when
the judges took their seats, but Judge
Grosscup did not read the decision
but simply referred to it in numbers
The Standard Oh attorneys were very
| jubilant at the outcome, while the gov
,ernment attorneys were very quiet
and went quietly about the proceed
ings, which occupied only a few min

BRYAN, NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
OF WORLD TYPE, AND INTERESTS"

THE coMmoNER.-

The New York World appears to
be greatly disturbed lest Mr.. Bryan
would force himself upon the demo-
cratic party as a candidate for presi-
dent in 1908. This is all pretense, how
ever, unless the World editors are ut
terly ignorant of the sentiments and
purpose of democrats.
1t is an insult to the Intelligence of
the party to say that any man or CO
terie of men could, for selfish or
clique reasons, dictate the course of
the party In 1908. Certainly demo
Gratis learned something in the expert
ences of 1904 when the New York
World and the special interests it
represents had their way, so far as
concerns convention results. Demo
Gratis know, too, that at this time
when the American people are de-
handing relief from trust imposition
the candidate and the platform must
be representative of the interests of
the masses. They know, too, that the
American people could no more de-
pend upon a presidential candidate
chosen by the special interests and
the representatives of the special in
terestS that seek to control democratic
conventions any more than they could
depend upon a presidential candidate
named by the republican convention at
the behest of the great corporation.
No one will contend, publicly, that
the public welfare should not be of par
amount Importance in the framing of
a platform and in the naming of a can
didate. No one will deny, publicly,
that the masses, rather than the
classes, should rule. No one will say,
publicly, that the party should submit
to dictation. But in popular govern
ment skinned milk sometimes mas
Querades as cream" and sometimes
the most abject tools OF monopolies
pretend an anxiety for the public good
and hide evil purposes by patriotic
pretensions.
While the people have often been
deceived, at no time must the people
surrender the power of determining
their course. In the democratic party
particularly the rank and file must be
the judges; and this is al the more
true in this year when the American
people, grown weary of the burdens
put upon them by monopolies through
the aid and consent of the republican
party, are looking to the democratic
party for relief; not merely encourage
ment in finely written platforms, not
merely bright promises spoken by elo-
quent orators, but in the sincere deter
minaNon on the part of the party lead
ership, and more than all upon the
part of the candidate himself, to faith
fully adhere to the promises made.
The rank and file of the democratic
party must, therefore, write the plat
form and name the candidate Mr.
Bryan has not sought to influence the
choice other than to the extent of say
