SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Sept. 3.-For-
mer President Roosevelt today broke
his silence in regard to the Taft ad-
ministration. He heartily commended
one phase of it, although he said moth
ing that could be construed as ref
erence to the administration as a
whole.
He confined himself to the work
which President Taft has done for the
establishment Of the principle of regu-
lating the tariff through commission,
and to the presidents success in con-
ducting negotiations with foreign
powers for the application of the new
tariff law.
Colonel Roosevelt also outlined clear
ly his position in regard to the tariff.
He reiterated his belief in the need of
regulation OF duties by means of a
commission and declared that the tariff
should be in the interest of the work.

Issue Between Regulars and Pro-

CONCORD, n. H, Sept 3.-The issue
between regulars and progressiVes has
been sharply joined in the Republican
ranks in the campaign for the primaries
which will be held in New Hampshire

with Land Forces

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.--Rear Ad-
miral Corwin R. Reese, a conspicuous
figure in the navy will be placed on
the retired list tomorrow on account

LUTHERAN CHURCH
GROWING IN n. Y.
Figures Show 37.2 Per Cent of
Gotham's Population Mem
berS of Religious Bodies
ASSOCIATED Press,

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-That the New
York city government has, in some
ways at least, kept pace with the city's
growth as shown in the census returns,
is manifest from budget study COM
piled by the city statistician.
The census returns show an increase
in population of 3S7 per cent. In the
same ten-year period the city budget
has grown from 500, ,77S,972 to $165,o3O,-
go, an increase of over "a per cent.
The figures estimated for the ex-
penditure of the actual city as apart
from the county were for 1904 $19,-
z01, 1853, and for 1910, $15S, ,775,145, or "a
per cent increase.
The increased cost in the city gov
ernment is partly accounted for, ac-
cording to the budget officials, by the
widened scope Of the municipal enter
prise For example, ten years ago the
domestic relations court In Manhattan
and Brooklyn, the special schools for
defective children or tuberculosis pa
tients and the establishment of play
grounds were entirely outside the gen
eral conception of what the city gov
ernment should do.
The expense of maintaining the city's
police force was Increased more thah
a third in the decade.
The board of education now requires
twice as much as in 1900, $2S,bO0,OOO IN
stead of $14600,000
The street cleaning department ex-
pends so per cent more, $1,0OO,0O0 IN
stead of $5000,000.
The health departments appropria-
ton has grown 125 per cent, from S1'-
$50, 900 to $2,750,000.
The fire department costs SO per cent
more, $S,150,000 in prace of $4,S5O,0OO
Figures for church membership IN
Greater New York compiled by local
organizations show the number OF
church members in the five boroughs
is 1,S1O,421, or 37.2 per cent OF the new
population figures.
In 1900 there were 1,2SS,677 members
of churches. This was 35.9 per cent
of the population.
These figures seem to show that the
growth in church membership is 1S
per cent ahead of the population
growth. This growth, 1t is estimated,
is divided about evenly between the
Protestants and Roman Catholics, At
present it is calculated there are 44o' iSS
Protestants and S69,64S Roman Cath

ELECTION OF A DEAD MAN
Death of F. T. Tucker CompIl-
Gates Wisconsin Situation I,

MADISON, wis, Sept. "A trou-
blesome situation is likely to result
from the death yesterday of Frank T.
Tucker. second assistant attorney gen
eral and the LaFollette candidate for
attorney general.
The other two candidates are classed
as anti-LaFollette Republicans, and
the head OF the LaFollette campaign
committee has sent out word to LaF'ol-
lette precinct leaders to pass the word
to LaFollette men to vote for the dead
man.
1t is too late to change the ballots
and the only recourse of the LaFollette
men will be the election of Trucker in
the primary Then. the nomination
completed, the new state committee,
which the LaFollette men say they
will dominate, will select a LaFollette
man to fill the vacancy.
The anti-LaFollette men, however,
do not believe the election of a dead

PaymaSter of Brick Company
and Driver Slaughtered
in Sight Of Yards
MYSTERY Wells THE CRIME
Bullet Holes and Tracks in Mud
of Five Men Only
CIeWS
Associate l Pressl

HUDSON, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Masked
men sprang out of the bushes along u
lonely lane this afternoon, held up
Dent Fowler, paymaster of the Atlas
Brick company, and his negro driver,
shot the driver dead, mortally wounded
Fowler, and made off with chest of
pay envelopes containing $4,000.
Half the side of the drivers head was
torn away by two 44-caliber bullets. He
was George Ragsdale. aged 60, and a
trusted employe. Fowler was wounded
over the heart and died without re-
gaining consciousness. He was Il
years old, a son Of Everett Fowler OF
Haverstraw, N. Y.
The robbers escaped. Saturday is
pay day at the yards Of the Atlas
Brick company, and according to the
custom Fowler called at a NeWburgh
bank for his pay money, sorted 1t out
into the proper amounts, ticketed the
envelopes and started to drive back TO
the yards, half a mile away He went
armed. and for further protection took
with him Ragsdale, who was stable
boss at the yards. 1t was rainy and
they rode with the buggy top up, the
boot well raised in front and their
heads far back in the hood.
Just what happened is not known, as
Fowler died before he could mutter but
a few unintelligible words.
KILLED NEAR YARDS
Although the shooting occurred with
in 300 yards of the State Firemen's
home, and within sight of the yards
themselves, it was neither seen or
heard. The police have to piece to-
gether a theory of the crime from
bullet holes and foot prints.
Five shots were fired. Two tore away
the side of Ragsdales head. A third
struck Fowler above the heart. The
fourth and fifth passed through the
back of the raised buggy top. From
the size of the holes 1t would appear
the robbers used regulation army A
caliber revolvers. From the footprints
there seems to have been five robbers,
The holdup and the shooting must
have followed each other almost with
the rapidity of the shots themselves.
1t can be seen that somebody grabbed
the horses bride. If demand for the
paymaster's box was made he never
had time to refuse or comply. There is
no evidence that he attempted to de-
fend himself.
Five sets of tracks led nothward
from the scene of the murder. A short
distance from the road New York Cen
trail detectives and the Hudson police
found where the trails separated, but
they have no other clew and no de-
scription.
1t was variously reported here this
afternoon that the murderers got S15,-
900 and $4,000, but advices from New
burgh, where the money was drawn,
place the amount at $4,000.

1.-THE Democratic opportunity to

there are two reasons for 1t.
I'm the first place, there Is a growth

opposition to the Republican candi-

country's initial state election of the
year will be held in Vermont on Tues

GERS, two congressman and a legislature
that will probably re-elect United

listic spirit in the church. Are
you ready?
1t is the pastors plan to hold
the services of the church IN
the future on the established
Evangellstic plan, and he de-
sires the help and co-oderatlon
of all the friends and bers
of the church. Can he count
on you?
The pastor plans to hold the
last Sunday evening service of

At these services he will deliyer
a series of lectures in the follow
ing order: December, The Babe
in the Manger; January, The
Sunny side Of Life; February,
The American Boy; March, The
Parable of the six Blind Men Of
Hindustan; April, Popular
Amusements. The pastor will
also deliver a series Of addresses,

These Will be followed by a SER
les on Modern Devils ia pre-.
sent day social life Let us all
do our best to make the church
