celebrations this morning in a short ad
passing through Cleveland A sane
Fourth" committee asked him to speak
in behalf of this idea The President
said:
Il am delighted to do so We consult
statistics in America chiefly for the pur-
pose of blowing our own horn and showing
what "a great people We are, but they are
much more useful for showing our defects
The statistics with reference to the loss
of life growing out of the celebration
of the Fourth ought to make us all blush
that we haven't taken the means to stop
it. The men whose deeds VIZ are cele-
brating, the men to whom we would offer
our grateful veneration, were men who
would not appreciate such a silly method

BATHTUB TRUST LOSES POINT
IGovernment wins Another step In
PrOsecutiOn-BOth Proceedings
May Go Over at Once.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The govern
ment has won another step in its prosecu-
ton of the so-called bath tub trust, the
United States circuit court having decided
that the civil proceedings for the dissolu-
ton OF the alleged combination and the
criminal proceedings against its indicted
members may go on simultaneously.
An order which attorneys for the combi-
nation recently procured for a stay in the
civil cases has been dismissed and the
bath tub lawyers will have until April to
give their side of the case.
Since the Department Of Justice took an
unalterable position not to accept fines in
the place of jail sentences in the criminal
cases all the atmosphere OF compromise
which surrounded the case disappeared. II
is expected the criminal cases will go to
trial with the defendants pleading not
guilty. The trusts proposition to consent
10 the Injunction the government seeks in
the civil cases also has been withdrawn.

Bailey Says He Has No
Quarrel with Clark
Difference with Regard to Tariff
Revision Merely Concerns

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator Bailey
In statement issued tonight said his diff
ference with Representative Champ Clark
relating 10 tariff revision concerned pro-
Cedure only and that he would not let pro-
cedure interfere with progress.
The statement was issued following in
corporations OF the results Of speeches at
the Baltimore democratic conference Tues
day,
1t is impossible for me to understand
how any man who knows anything about
the tariff llesuon could imagine that
there IL any radical difference between
Mr.. Clark and myself" said Senator
Bailey. HE favors amending the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill by schedules, while I
believe in repeating it from preamble to
conclusion.
"But whether II Is better TO revise the
tariff I'm my way or in the way In which
Mr.. Clark proposes. the difference between
us is plainly and only az to our method
] OF procedure. and I hardly suppose that
I any man with sense enough TO secure an
: election 20 the house or 10 the senate would
/ contemplate for a moment engaging in q
