Chicago, November 4.--Postmaster Gen eraI Hitchcock's plan of requiring the ma gazines to pay increased postage on their advertising pages. sufficient to elim- mate postal deficits and warrant, in the mail, was officially explained today
 MT. Hitchcock, feeling that his position had not been clearly understood, issued the following statement:
 "Postmaster General Hitchcock believes that in carrying out the administration s purpose to accomplish a reasonable in- crease in the postage rates on certain kinds of second-class mail more distinc- ton should be made between advertising and what is termed legitimate reading matter He does not favor, under pres ent conditions, an increase in the rates of postage for carrying reading matter. Any increase thus applied, he points out, will place a special burden on a large numrer of second-class publications, such educational and religious periodicals that derive little or no profit from ad- vertising. It is the circulation of this type of publications which aids so effec- lively in the educational and moral ad- vancement of the people that the govern mont can best afford to encourage. For these publications and also for any other legitimate reading matter in periodical form, MT. Hitchcock suggests a contin- uation of the present low postage rate of cent a pound and recommends that the proposed increase in rate be applied only to magazine advertising matter.
 This plan would be in full accord with tho statute governing second-class mall. a law that never justified the inclusion under the second-class rates of the vast amounts of advertising now transported by the government at a tremendous loss. In view of the vanishing postal deficit MT. Hitchcock thinks that if the maga- zines can be required to pay what 1t costs the government to carry their ad- vertising pages, the department reye- nue will be large enough to warrant l. cent postage on first-class matter. He does not include newspapers in his rec ommendation because they are chiefly Of local distribution and do not employ the mails in any such manner as the widely cif foulated magazines.

CHARGES MADE
 BY WAYMAN WILL BE PROBED

Judge Kayanuagh and MT. Wayman.
 When told of Judge Kavsnaugh's ac- ton, Attorney Erbstein said
 ''It's absurd to think of a grand jury taking up an investigation of the charges made by wayman. The statute of lirnita- tions has run on that matter. A grand jury can do nothing with It.
 Immediately following his appointment of former Judge Payne, Judge Kava- naugh issued an order directing Attorney Fogle Of the Bar association to turn over to the grand jury the affidavits making charges against MT. Wayman, which MT. Erbstein had filed with the association.
 Judge Kavanaugh also entered an order directing certain witness to tell the grand jury the name of the juror alleged by Erbstein to have been bribed.
 Within two hours after Judge Kava- naugh had issued his orders in connection with the special inquiry. the grand jury returned indictments against Erbstein, Mcbride and others. charging conspira- ey to do an illegal act, Three unidenti- fed men were also specified In John Doe indictments. returned by the grand jury in connection with the Erbstein case and alleged conspiracy to injure MT. wat- man

each year. We realize that individual fortunes are mounting higher and higher each year. The high cost of liv- ing takes from the pockets of the many for the benefit of the few. My prop osition is that large fortunes are due to high tarif rates and business as sociations formed In restraint of trade with every advantage taken of the high tariff by those who form the associa- tions. We should hold that party re- sponsible which should, in fact, be charged with this
 President Taft has been flouted by republican Congress, but he is still of the opinion that there sh hould be a further reduction of the tariff.
 Roosevelt. during the seven and a half yeara hs was President, never once lifted his voice for the reduction of these tariff rates After he returned from Europe he investigated and he. too, agrees that there should be- re- duction."
 The speaker referred to the fact that $26O,00 was raised by E. H. Hartman for the republican campaign of 1904, and added:
 The contribution of funds had be- come so common that even Presf- dent of the United States did not hos itate to appeal for tn ose funds in the aid of his party" M

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
 TO CROWD IN RAIN

Des Moines, Ia., November 4--Througn snow, sleet, rain and biting cold Tneo- dore Roosevelt campaigned over Iowa TO- day in behalf of the republican ticket. His reception was distinctly cordial Peo- ole battered through the slush in cro"ds to see him and hear him speak III De- half of Charles Grilk of Davenport, Ia. republican candidate for Congress. They cteered him with as much enthusiasm as could be mustered on such day.
 Colonel Roosevelt heard last month that he was being criticised in this state by persons who believed he espoused one set of doctrines in the west and another in the east but he found hearty well come waiting him when he came here
 The colonel urged the people or Iowa to support MT. Grilk as man wAo stood with the progressive leaders of the re- publican party and in his speech here to- night he indorsed Governor Carroll and the state ticket, and put in good word for Senator Cummins. He did not att tempt to go into local politics, but con- fined himself largely to appeals for sup port of the general principles which he said the republican party as a whole represented This evening he addressed several thousand members or the iowa State Teachers association on eoucation and good citizenship, belore speaking at the campaign rally.
 Colonel Roosevelt made his first speech of the day at Davenport and then came to Des Moines, stopping on the way for short speeches from the platform Of his car at West Liberty, Iowa City and Marengo. The rally at Davenport was not as large as had been expected, be- cause of the cold and threatening wealth er but the crowd which gathered in Central park was good-sized one. Iowa City turned out an enthusiastic throng with band and the cheering squad from the University of Iowa to make things lively. At both West Liberty and Ma rengo hundreds stood in the snow at the station to listen to him.

Madrid. November 1.-The senate to- night, by a vote of 149 to 5S, passed the paddock bill" which prohibits the crea- ton of further religious establishments in Spain until the revision of the con- cordate with the vatican has been com pleted
 The conciliatory attitude of Premier CanaIejas toward the ecclesiastical sen- ators during the debate in the senate to- day on the bill led to the impression in official circles that way would be found to resume the negotiations between the government and the vatican for a re- vision of the concordat when the bill was passed
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-05

The revision of the eoncordat or 1851 long has been the cause for diplomatic negotiations between liberal governments in Spain and the vatican. The modifica- tions sought affect chiefly the clauses re- lating to liberty of conscience and ed- ucation and the limitation of religious or ders With the advent in February last of the present ministry, Premier Can alejas announced that the negotiations begun by his predecessors with the vati- can would be continued. but this pro- gramme. which called for the abridge- ment of the influence of the Catholic church and the inauguration of broad system of public education, would be pro- ceeded with regardless Of the wishes of Rome
 Much opposition on the part Of the clertcais has been brought to bear against the Canalejas regime, and especially the paddock bill.'' which prohibits the crea- ton of further religious orders until the question of the revision of the concordat has been settled. The vatican made fre- quent vigorous protests against the bill.
 The debate in the senate was heat ed and on October 2s Canale5as de- c.ded that if it were not passed he would resign. The critical hour had

Hitchcock Explains Plans To Increase
 Magazine Postage

Under the plan proposed it will be pos- sible without increasing the expenditure of public funds to utilize for the benefit of the entire people that considerable portion of the postal revenues now ex- pended to meet the cost of special privilege enjoyed by certain publishers
 Experiments made by the department show that it Is quite feasible to determine the relative weights of the advertising matter and the legitimate reading matter carried by the magazines, and Mir. Hitch cock is convinced that his plan can be put Into successful operation. In accord ance with regulations to be prescribed by the department each magazine. pub fisher will be required to certify to the local postmaster the facts necessary to determine the proper postage charges
 The method of procedure for the pro- posed new system will be worked out 50 as to insure the dispatching of the malls as expeditiously as at present."

Government VIII Act

Madrid. November 4.-The govern ment announced today 1t would prevent, at all hazards, a monster labor mani festation, arranged for tomorrow at Barcelona, to which city the strikers at Sa badell have decided that they will march. General Weyler, captain general of Catalona. has big force of troops at his command, but these will be re- inforced by 15.000 soldiers.
 The government claims that the revo- lutionary leaders, many of whom have been imprisoned. are trying to inflame the masses of the workmen.
 The decision of the strikers at Sa- badell to march to Barcelona leads to the fear that if 1t is carried out col- lisions between the workmen and the police will occur. It is likely that such an outcome would be followed by the declaration of general strike in Bar celona, and possibly in Catalona, but it is considered unlikely that any of the other provinces would be affected
