after they were filled to prevent over
crowGing, The speakers urged the So
cialists not to offer resistance to the
police. Sharply worded resolutions of
protest were adopted.
In the suburbs of Berlin about 40
meetings were held in crowded halls.
The majority of them were peaceably
conducted, but in Rixdorf, a southern
suburb, the population of which num-
bcrs close to 100000. an immense crowd
gathered in the public square and lis

leaders. A police lieutenant called on
the people to dispense but they refused
to obey. The police thercupon tried to
break up the meeting and some of the
crowd responded with shower OF
stones slightly woundirg the ieuten-
ant and policeman.
After the meeting large professions
paraded through the principal subur-
ban streets singing the workinCmen'
"Marseillaise." Some of them tried tC
reach the central sections about the
Schlossplatz. but the police held al
the approaches and dispersed the
crowd without serious difficulty.

with shouts of "bloodhounds' and g
shower of stones. An officer ordered
the men to chrge with drawn arms, and
several of the rioters were wounded.

EVERY PROMISE BY PARTY
Will Be KEPT SAYS TAFT.
He Answers the Panic Cry of Wall Street
And Gives Advice-=-''If Enforcement of
Law Is Not Consistent With Business
Methods, Change the Methods

New York, Feb. 13.-"If the enforce
ment Of the low is not consistent with
he present method of carrying on
business. then 1t does not speak well
for the present methods of conducting
business, and they must be changed TO
conform to the law
This declaration was made to q
cheering audience of hundreds OF
prominent Republicans gathered Sat
urday night at the annual Lincoln day
dinner of the Republican Club of this
city held at the Waldorf Astoria.
Gov. Hughes shared the honors of
the evening with the President.
Mr.. Taft adhered to his purpose Of
discussing platform pledges and how
they should be kept. 1t was at the
conclusion of a detailed argument as
to how the Republican party is re-
deemng its pledges that he came to
the antitrust law and Wall Street, on
which his utterances had been await
ed with the greatest interest.
The President declared that the adj
ministration would not "foolishly run
amuck in business and destroy values
and confidence just for the pleasure of
doing So
NO one" he continued, has mo-
tive as strong as the administration in
power to cultivate and strengthen
business confidence and prosperity
But there was no promise on the
part of the Republican party to change
the antitrust law except to strengthen
it. OF course the government at Wash
ington can be counted on to enforce
the law in the way best calculated to
prevent a destruction of public conf
dence in business, but that it must en-
force the law goes without saying"
President Taft did not hesitate to
dear with the attacks which have been
made upon the administration and the
party, or the danger to future sue
cesses in the insurgent movement and
other dissensions.
But Republicans who feared defeat
at the polls in November. he declared.

Democrats;
1T was Grant," said the President,
amid whirlXind of laughter. VINO
banished his own fear in battle by
thinking how much more afraid the
enemy was"
Mr.. Taft again came to the defence OF
the Payne Aldrich tariff bill. He did
not hesitate, he said. to repeat that it
substantially complied with the party
pledge for tariff revision and that.

itself strongly in the right direction,

Police and a Few Fatalities.

Berlin, Feb. demonstration by
Tie socialists throughout the kingdom
after mass meetings held today to
protest against the suffrage bill, result
ed IN serious affrays between the dem
onstrators and the police at many
places. In Berlin several policemen
were severely wounded hy stones
thrown by rioters and scores of So
cialist supporters received serious in
juries from the sabres Of the police.
Reports from places outside give a
number of casualties. The worst affair
of the kind occurred at Nuemuenster
in Holstein, where a Workingman was
mortally wounded by a knife through
the lungs, another's hand was cut off
and third lost an ear.
At Halle after the close of the meet
ings about 1000 Socialists attacked the
police, who drew their sabres and
wounded many. At Koenigsberg, where
the Socialists returned in a BODY from
the suburban meetings, the police, in
attempting to divert the crowds into
the side streets, used their sabres. They
also made a number of arrests.

collision with the police The latter
used their sabres and several of the

Cologne huge crowds assembled in

the Situation looked very bad' and
it was common belief that he sided
with Messrs. Hughes, Barnard and
Griscom. as against State Chairman
Woodruff, Senator Depew and Speaker
Wadsworth of the Assembly.
Mr.. Barnard would not say that
politics was not discussed today and
the inference was that President Taft
has taken an active interest in the
Republican situation in this state and
that the echo may be heard at Albany
within the next few days.

reduction in the percentage ad valo-

Feared That She Has Gone Down Will
Her Crew Of 81 Mcknight Naval
Vessels and Two Revenue Cutters
Are Searching the Coast.

Boston, Feb. 13.-Anotner days
search by the feet of United States
ships strung out over the Atlantic
ocean between this port and Norfolk,
has failed to reveal the whereabouts of
the missing naval tug Nina, and the
belief is growing strong hourly among
seafaring men here that the little yes
sci went to the bottom, carrying down
to their death its crew of 90 men.
The Nina sailed from Norfolk for the
CharlestoWn navy yard last Sunday
Heavy gales that the tug encountered
almost Immediately after leaving
Hampton Roads and the storm that
swept this section of the country Fri
day night are believed to have proved
too much for her.
The search for the Nina is probably
the greatest ever made for any vessel
in the Atlantic ocean. Besides the eight
naval vessels, and two revenue cutters
that have been securing the coast, ev-
cry vessel carrying wireless outfit
has been requested to keep lookout
for the Nina. The latter had no wire

make the search between Cape May
and Nantucket. The destroyer Lamson

The gunboat Castine and the collier

The search would have been much
simplifed if the Nina had been
equipped with wireless outfit, but the
navy department has not gotten as far
down as tugs in such equipment.
The Nina is an iron tug of schooner
rig, 357 tons displacement. She was
built in Chester, Pa, in 1866. Her in
Dictated horsepower is 3SS and she is
