OF POLICE
SURROUNDS TAFT
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
TO GUARD PRESIDENT
Chief Executive Makes Two Ad.
dresses in New York-Declares
He Has Held Office Since
21 Years Old
(Associated PressI

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-SiX hundred
police lieutenants of Greater New
York cheered President Taft tonight
as he appeared smiling before them
at the Waldorf Astoria at their fourth
annual banquet.
He had previously delivered an ad-
dress before the banquet of the Gin
cinnati society in New Jersey, an
aristocratic affair, held at the Hotel
Plaza.
Leaving there after a speech that
realt almost entirely with the life OF
Washington the president made quick
progress to the police gathering by
automobile, where he was enthusias-
tieally received.
Only seventy-two persons, including
the president, were present at the So
ciety of the Cincinnati. 1t was so ex-
elusive that the committee declined to
give a list of guests or furnish re-
porters with the names of the speak
ers.
Truly remarkable was the reception
the police lieutenants accorded the
president When he first entered the
hall they rose as a body, waving
American flags. In a moment more
the room was filled with the shrill
noise of their police whistles sounding
their greetings. Then the Star Span
gled Banner was sung and later
America"
The president said in part: II have
come to tell you tonight that I am
with you. For we are engaged in the
same duty, that of preserving the law
and defending the rights of the people,
and in obtaining a square deal for all.
"Since I was 21 years old 1 can
hardly remember time that r was
not holding office, and the duties of
each have imposed upon me the en-
forcement of the law, and in enforc-
ing the law I have had generally to
count upon the members of the police
to uphold my hands,"
President Taft arrived here late
today. What appeared to be extra
ordinary police precautions were taken
at Jersey City. The station was swept
clear of persons before the presidents S
arrival and he was surrounded by a
compact hollow square of secret serv-
ice men and policemen as he walked
from his car.
Tomorrow the president will go to
Newark, N! j., to speak at the dinner
of the Newark board of trade.

kEENE ANGRY AS
HE IS GIVEN LIE
HOOKING VALLEY POOL Is IN
VESTIGATED
Henry S. Haskins of Prominent Firas
of Brokers Is Virtually Ex-
PEELED from the Ex-
change

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-James r.
Keene, who is said to have promoted
the Hooking pool, in whose collapse
many persons lost considerable money,
is an angry man today by reason of
| the lie given his statement that as
manager of the pool he had not sold a
single share of stock of the Columbus
and Hooking Coal and Iron company.
Harold F. Mack, a member of the
New York stock exchange is the man
who is responsible for Mr.. Keene' $
ruffled temper. Mr.. Mack stated at the
bankruptcy proceedings of j. M. Fiske
& Co. that Keene held 200 shares of
stock and was 300 shares short anG
said the 500 shares were sold January
10.
When questioned Mr.. Keene admitted
he gave an order for the sale of the
shares, but said the stock belonged to
two Of his clerks and that he had no
interest in the securities.
Because of the collapse of the pool,
which was due according to Mr.. Keene
to the Unsuitable greed of the MEM
bers," brought about by a furious
bear raid in the stock exchange, Henry
S. Haskins, a member of the pool and
of prominent firm of brokers in Wall
street, was virtually expelled from
membership in the New York stock
exchange.
Mr.. Haskins when interrogated said:
Nothing but raid of short selling
could break the market, and such SELL
ing would have to be in larger volume
than the sellers could ever hope to de-
liver unless the force of their attack
accomplished disaster at once. No Or
binary strength of assets could guard
against such an attack. 1 did my best
first to stem the tide and later. when
that became hopeless, to cancel the
buying orders.
"The honesty of my intentions is
shown by the fact that my firm and
my friends are the worst sufferers II
not the only ones"

DR.. HYDE INVITED" BY
GRAND JURY TO TESTIFY
Man Accused of Poisoning Col. SWope
Refused to Obey Coroner's
Request

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 22.-Dr. B. c,
Hyde, against whom a charge of hav-
ing poisoned Col. Thomas H. Swope
and Chrisman Swope was recently
placed by the attorneys for the Swope
estate, will be asked to appear before
the grand jury which is investigating
the deaths of the Swopes.
This was made known here last night
by Prosecutor Conkling. Mr.. Gambling
stated DIR. Hyde will not be command
ed to appear before the grand jury,
but merely will be invited.
The time for the visit of DIR. Hyde
to the jury room will be left to his
own convenience.
At the coroners inquest DR.. Hyde,
on advice of counsel, refused to take
the stand. Whether he will accept the
invitation of Prosecutor Conkling
probably depends on the advice of his
attorneys.

KIDNAPPED BOY TAKEN
AWAY FROM TUCSON
Father Alleged to Be Guilty of Abb
Quoting May Be Arrested
After Leaving
Arizona
lFIlE7"

TUCSON. Ariz,, Feb. 22.-The Adams
party, consisting of Louis B. Adams,
his son John Adams, N. w. Murphy
and Miss Nora Mclaughlin, left tonight
for their home in New York. They
were accompanied by Adams brother,
Albert Adams, the New York attorney,
who arrived here four days ago to con-
fer with the party regarding the
charges of kidnapping pending against
them in San Francisco for stealing the
8-year-old son, John, which caused their
arrest here two weeks ago.
At that time Governor Sloan refused
to honor the requisition, and the party
has been here since.
The detectives who until recently
have been employed to watch the party
give out the impression that it is the
Intention of the California authorities
to push the prosecution as soon as
they leave the territory, and they may
be rearrested when they reach Texas.
If again unsuccessful in the legal battle
for the possession of the child, the
party may have to fight Its way
through to New York.
1t was learned today that Mrs. Ad-
ans had instituted proceedings in the
New York courts for the partition and
sale of half of Adams estate. This
probably means also that she will re-
turn to New York to fight out the legal
battle for the possession of the child.

IROQUOIS WARRIORS
DEMAND A DEMOCRAT
Stormy Session Held at San Frans
cisco When State League
Political Clubs
Meet

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-At the
convention of the State League of
Iroquois clubs, held here today,
stormy session followed the effort to
have the meeting declare itself in the
coming gubernatorial fight. Robert l..
Mann introduced a resolution, making
it the sense of the meeting that
Democrat should be governor of the
state. H. l.. Andrews, in leading an
attack upon the measure, said:
''I most strongly object to this man
ner of attempting to test the Demo-
cratic strength. 1t is idiotic to seek
through a Democratic gathering to
cast such stigma upon the party.
1t is proposed to not only nominate a
Democrat but elect him."
In the platform adopted the con-
vention went on record as opposing
the ship subsidy bill now before con-
gress, condemned the Payne tariff and
favored trust-made articles being
placed on the free list. The following
officers were elected today: Grand
sachem, Thomas e. Hayden, San
Francisco; vice grand sachem, H. p.
Andrews, Red Bluff; treasurer, Louis
Metzger, San Francisco; secretary,
Lawrence E. Welch.

FEAR STRIKE ON
ALL ROADS EAST
OF MISSISSIPPI
Eastern Associations of
Conductors and Train
men Are Defied
CRISIS is AT HAND
Baltimore & Ohio Refuses
DemandS--Men to Vote
on Action
Especial to The Herald.l

BALTIMORE, Feb. ga general
X strike of conductors and trainmen
~ Of all roads east of the Mississippi
river which are members of the East
ern association is feared.
Today the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
through President Daniel Willard, re-
fused the demands for higher wages
made by the order of Railway Con
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen. This means that both
organizations will vote on the question
of strike at once.
All of the railroads composing the
Eastern association are now demand
ing uniform wage scale which shall
be the same as that recently secured
by the Western association.
The refusal of che road to grant the
demands of the employees means that
the issue will be taken up by the entire
Eastern association. Such is the state
ment of prominent leaders of the or
ganizations involved.
Men RepuIsed
These two powerful railroad organ
izations which have undertaken to OBJ
tain a general increase of the wage
scale for all employees in those branches
of the service on the principal lines in
the eastern part of the United States
and Canada, have suffered repulse
at the very inauguration of their cam
paign.
Three weeks of negotiations with the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad among the
first to be approached in the matter,
ended today when the company,
through President Daniel Willard, de-
clined to accede to the demands of the
organizations, the company's position
being set forth in the following official
statement:
1.-THE conferences with the represent
atives of the conductors and trainmen's
organizations and President Willard of
the Baltimore & Ohio road, held today
in the endeavor to reach, a mutually
satisfactory basis of agreement on the
question of wage increase, ended in
suspension of further conferences until
the brotherhood representatives have
submitted the matter as it now stands
to the membership for instructions for
| procedure to be taken. The company
could not accept the mems proposition
| as originally made, and the mems rep
resentatives did not feel authorized to
accept the counter-proposition made by
the company without referring it to
the men for further advices."
Now. Up to Men
The whole matter now goes back to
the rank and file, who will vote on the
question of a strike, which the BROTH
erhood officials regard as probable.
"By this vote the men will show
whether they are in earnest in demands
for increased wages or not" was the
way one of the joint delegation ex-
pressed the situation.
The men asked for the western rate
in freight and yard service, an increase
of 91-16 per cent in their passenger
service and the abolition of double
header freight trains.
According to the men, the railroad
met these demands with what they de-
clared was a very slight percentage in
crease to the minority of the men in
volved.

CONGER, AT BAY,
REBELS AGAINST
HARD GRILLlNG
Badgered by Cross-Exam-

Case
PROTECTION ASKED
Senator Aids to Begin His
Defense at Opening of
Session Today
tAssociated PressJ

LBANY, n. Y, Feb. 22.-The last
~ of Senator Benn Conger's evidence
49, in support of his charge that Sen
ator lothian p. Aids demanded and re-
ceived $1,000 nine years ago for "pro-
tecting bridge companies against hos
tile legislation was laid before the
senate today. Tomorrow Senator Aids
will begin his defense.
Senator Conger's last few minutes on
the stand today were signalized by a
dramatic outburst. Badgered by cross
examination, heckled by his own col
leagues, held up to public view as a
bribe- giver Conger for six days faced
the senators and daily audience of at
least 1000.
In all this time Conger has obeyed
the instructions of the senate to an
swer questions, however embarrassing
they might prove. But this afternoon
he rebelled.
Rising from his seat, he turned and
faced the chairman, his small figure
quivering with anger.
"Mr. Chairman he cried, 'I want to
appeal to you if this sort of thing has
not gone on about long enough. Evil
IDENTIFY this man." he went on, looking
at Lewis t. Carr, attorney for Aids,
lis trying to tire me out physically,
and 1 appeal to you as matter of de-
cency and right whether am to go on
and be grilled this way another day."
Chairman Davis reply was that Con-
gers own counsel would amply protect
him, and directed the witness to an
Swer Carr'S question.
Testifying Senator Conger said:
"Col. Dunn said to me the Repub-
lican state committee needed funds;
that the treasury was always low and
money was more acceptable if paid in
the spring than in the fall.'
The witness, still under cross exam
ination, was then made to go further
into the details of his alleged CONVEX
sation with Assemblyman Burnett in
1901.
Burnett said to me-" he continued
"that the highway bill in the internal
affairs committee was good for some
money for the fellows on the floor OF
of it, and unless they did he would
move to discharge the committee or
the floor (that is, force a vote on the
bill), If some of your bridge people
don't come up to Albany. I think he
said the bill was worth $4,000 on the
floor"
Conger said Burnett finally informed
him the alleged "strike bill'' had been
fixed up $50 as to take the sting out
of it, so far as the bridge interests
were concerned.
of the internal affairs committee, Con-
ger made this statement:
Doughty never spoke to me on the
subject of money, or, so far as l know,
did anybody else. He came to me and
said he had a copy of an amendment
he thought would work out all right
and would in substance kill the bill"
