PRESIDENT TAFT
ON $4,000 MILE
JOURNEY
Will Visit the CitadeIs Of Insur-
gent Forces
TO GO THROUGH "a STATES
In 10 Of Them He viii Deliver Speech.
es-Comine Campaign May Be
influenced by Trip

Beverly, Mass, Sept 14.-President
Taft will leave Beverly tomorrow on
his second Swing around the circle"
In the opinion of many OF his friends
the trip promises to be one of the
NOSE important ever undertaken by a
chief executive. He himself has said
that he will engage in but little poll
tical discussion, but it is admitted
that opportunity for such discussion
will not merely be offered but prob
ably thrust upon him. That he will
accept the gage of battle If some
"heikler" in his audience challenges
him is hardly doubted and that his
political fortunes may depend to some
extent on the outcome of this journey
is agreed by many men close to the
administration.
The president has set down "the
tariff" and ''the tariff board" as two
subjects for set addresses. His vetoes
of the wool bill, the cotton bill and
the farmers free list bill, have not
been marked for separate speeches,
but that they will be dealt with in the
two general addresses is highly prob
able. The tariff may prove after all
the leading topic. although that is not
the presidents plan
Many other subjects will be given
consideration, including reciprocity,
conservation the peace treaties. mar
riage and divorce, the trust problem,
financial reform, the Panama canal,
reform in judicial procedure. Alaska,
and the government departments.
The president contemplates spending
most OF his speaking hours in talking
of the less political subjects, but
doubts that he will be able to follow
such a program as has already been
expressed in some quarters.
The Swing" which begins tomor-
row will be about 1900 miles In
length Twenty-four states will be
touched on the journey and in Is of

souri,, Montana, Idaho, California, Ore

RUSSIAN PREMIER
STOIY PIR WAS
SHOT TWICE
Probably MOrtaIIy Wounded at
the Theatre
THE GAR WAS PRESENT
This is the Third Attempt Of the Rev.
olutlonists to Assassinate
Stolypin
THE GAR WAS PRESENT

London, Sept. 15.-The Russian
premier P. A. Stolypin, was attacked
while attending a gala performance
at the opera at Kiev, Russia, last
night. He was wounded twice by his
assailant. One bullet entered his
hand, while the other penetrated the
body, grazing the liver and lodging
in the spine. 1t is reported that the
premier's wounds are mortal. EN-
peror Nicholas was present in the
theatre at the time. The premier's
assailant was arrested.
This is not the first attempt made
against the life of Premier Stolypin.
When he was governor of Saratov in
1905 three shots were fired at him,
but without effect. On August 25,
1906, a bomb was thrown while Stoly-
pin, then premier, was holding pub
lie reception at his country home on
Aptekarsky island. The premier was
slightly wounded in the face and neck
by flying splinters. Thirty-two per-
sons we're killed and a still larger
number wounded. Among the latter
were the premier's 15-year-old daugh-
ter and his three-years-old son.
At this time there was a reign Of
terrorism in many parts of Russia
In st. Petersburg Gen Min, command
er of the Seminovsky regiment, was
shot to death by young woman and
in Warsaw, Gen Won Liarliarski, act
ing military governorgeneral OF War
saw and commander of the 5th army
corps, was assassinated while driving
through the streets.
The retaliatory steps which he
took against the terrorists and liber-
ais alike won him the detestation of
the advanced parties and the sup
port of the administration. "Stoly-
pins necktie" became the synonym
for the hangman's moose throughout
Russia. He . quarreled frequently
with the Duma, and was victorious in
his disputes with that body owing to
the confidence which the emperor re-
posed in him. Stolypin resigned as
premier and minister of interior on
March 20 OF this year. but three days
later reconsidered his action and con-
scented to remain in office. Stolypin
presented his resignation TO the en-
peror because the Council of Empire
rejected his Zemstvo bill, and 1t was
announced that the emperor had ac-
cepted it, appointing NJ Kokovsoff,
minister of finance to fill the premier
ship. Later, however, II was learned
that the emperor had used his per
sonal influence to retain Stolypin in
Office.

II is very likely that Jimmie" Hen
derson, the local catcher. will return
to Springfield, VT, next summer as
the manager of the club which repre-
sents that town in the Twin State
league. The deal has not been closed
but proposition was put up to the 10
cal boy before he returned home and
representative of the club will
come to this city during the winter
to arrange the details and definitely
decide the matter. Henderson made
big hit with the Springfield manage
ment and fans as n result Of the great
headwork which he used behind the
bat. In addition to catching a strong
game, Jimmie held up his pitchers
in fine style and the club owners be-
lieve that he would be Just the man
to run the team another season. II

SeeSaW IN Maine Result otlll
Keeps Up.
Returns received by the secretary
of state at Augusta, Me-, up to noon
with only six towns missing, and
these six supplied by returns received
in Portland showed:
For repeal of prohibition 6O,5l7
Against repeal 6O,3S3
Majority for repeal 1874
In the figures received in Portland
from the towns of Limestone, Matini-
Gus Isle and Topsfield, which have
been shown to be reversed as compar-
ed with those received in Augusta,
are allowed, they will show a victory
against repeal of 1886. Returns receiv-
ed in Portland indicated a majority
against repeal of 400 An official re-
count at Augusta will probably be
necessary to determine the result Of
the balloting.
Only the canvass Of the vote by the
governor and council later can ad-
just any discrepancies of this sort.
There is a difference OF opinion
among attorneys as to whether there
can be an actual recount of votes in
case of close result. Press returns
compiled in Portland indicated last
night dry" majority of 1856, taking
into account the alleged discrepancies
in town clerks reports.
Gov. Plaisted said at Augusta last
night regarding a recount: Il am in
clined TO the opinion that the people
OF Maine want a recount | see that
already some interested parties are
demanding an inspection OF the bal
lots. If the people signify their de-
sire for a recount. will do all in my
power to find way to give II to
them. II there are clerical errors,
such as is claimed in the case OF the
returns from the town of Limestone,
I think some way can be found to re-
wise such returns so that they will
properly record the action OF the cit
liens at the polls"

WOMEN IN FOUNDR|ES
+ PERFORM MEMS WORK
Shocking Revelations Are Made
Showing How Women Are
Employed As Moulders.
They Do Hard Lifting and Per.
form Tasks that Unfit Them
IS: for Womanly Duties.

Following the discovery Of women
employed at the hardest kind of la
Dor TN foundries in Massachusetts
comes. another shocking revelation In
the plant Of the Henry B. Worthing-
ton Co., at Harrison. N. J. It has
been revealed that between $50 and
200. women are employed as core
makers In the latter place. The work
Is exceedingly hard and rough and
the women are required to labor In
stirling atmosphere impregnated with
the fumes of gasoline, burning coke
and coal. They shovel sand and lift
all kinds Of forms and molds and
perform tasks, that eventually cripple
and unfit them for womanly duties.
Their faces and hand sare begrimed
with black dust and grease, and were
they not required to wash themselves
before leaving the plant they would
present an unseemly appearance on
the streets.
The reason for the supplanting Of
the male coremaker is plain. The
men got from SO to $3.50 a day; the
women get from 81 to $1.s5 day.
Discussing the revelations in Mas
saclIusetts, the Boston Common, I'M
der the caption: How Labor is Pro-
tected'' has this to say: I'm the plant
of the Walworth, Manufacturing COM
pany. to cite one example, a reporter
found 81 women and girls making
cores Of sand, flour, water, molasses
and fish oil. A dozen girls worked on
one bench with in ten feet of fur
mace. The heat was intense. Their
eyes we're inflamed and their attire
as light as frequently seen on the
densely populated streets In the tene-
ment districts during the hottest days
in summer. These girls are paid an
average of about Sc a week: Some get
as high as 50: The manager admitted
that the girls had displaced male
core makers who had been paid from
$12 to- SIS a week. What is more.
some Of the girls liked the work. or
at least preferred it to working In a
department store, where they would
receive less money and have to pay
more for clothes.
