ROOSEVELT EDITORIAL
ON TAFT'S METHODS
Calls Administration Policy Toward
Big Business Chaotic-A Plan
for Trust Control.

New York.-Recent litigation and
legislation to regulate the trusts are
discussed and remedy to meet the
present situation is suggested by Theo-
dore Roosevelt in an editorial entitled
The Trusts, the People and the
Square Deal" published in THE Out
look" The suit against the Steel
Trust by the government" Mr.. Roose-
welt begins, has brought wildly be-
fore our people the need Of reducing to
order our chaotic government policy
as regards business"
This editorial explosion from Col.
Roosevelt, contributing editor" of the
Outlook, caused a lot of comment
among politicians and financiers. His
statement declaring the policy of the
Taft Administration regarding bust
ness to be chaotic" and suggesting
the necessity for progressive" rene
dies, was variously regarded.
By the friends of the Colonel it was
hailed as the announcement OF his can
didacy for the Republican Presidential
nomination.
Br"Adherents OF the Taft Admins
tration it was viewed as a declaration
OF war against President Taft.
BY financiers and business people it
was accepted as conclusive proof that
the Colonel was sounding business
sentiment"
BY everybody In politics and Wall
street it was regarded as unmistaka-
BILE evidence that the Colonel has
emerged from retirement and is ready
to take a hand in the national political
game soon to open.
Col. Roosevelt declares that the pol
icy of President Taft's Administration
In dealing with the trust issue-as evil
denced in the suit against the United
States Steel CorporadCn-is a mis-
taken one and doomed to failure 1t
has failed, he declares, in the Tobacco
Trust case to bring about an actual dis
solution. He quotes from a letter by
ex-Secretary of the Interior Garfield to
express his belief in constructive leg
islation" as against destructive litiga-
ton" The present antitrust law, he
says, is inadequate. Col. Roosevelt ar
CUES strongly for Federal control of
corporations, mot by the courts, but
by an administrative bureau or board
such as the Bureau Of Corporations or
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
for the courts cannot with advantage
permanently perform executive and
administrative functions.

But these countrywide conditions OF
wind and weather are. after all. only
a part of the gamble by the farmer
Insects fight his fruits and grain from
the beginning of summer until the
frost. If early still another enemy
comes to relieve him. Local weather
is also. an important factor. Corn may
easily be checked In its maturing
weeks by incessant showers, or may
be stunted by lack OF moisture. Oats
in the harvesting are delicate things
TO handle. Too much rain means de
lay in housing the cereal and toe
much dry weather means destruction
to the corn and other cereals in the
very next field. Altogether, the far
mer's life is not one OF unalloyed
bliss He gets no summer vacation
and must not only expose himself to
all the elements with unremittng toll
but must do these things under the
haunting fear that some peculiar and
treakish vagary OF the weather viii
come along and sweep most OF his
profits away in single day.

Silence in Washington.

Washington.-Whit House officials
declined TO comment on Colonel
Roosevelt's editorial article in The
Outlook There was impressive ST.
lence also at the attorney-general's of
fee when an effort was made to get a
reply to the Colonel's assertion that he
was not misled by Judge Gary and Mr..
Frick. Even the Republican insur-
gents fought shy OF the subject when
they were questioned in regard to the
Roosevelt article.
In some Washington circles there
was a disposition TO accept the Roose-
welt declaration as a definite break
with the Administration and a lining
up with the progressives, and, there.
fore, with La Toilette.

SLAY MESSENGER
IN HIS CAR
Irving G. Barger Found Dead
When Train Reaches Scranton.
ROBBER ESCAPES WITH LOOT
Murder TO Make Lie Good-5ishie
Killed Express Messenger to Get
Money to Give to His
Mother.

Scranton, Pat was TO make good
on lie which William +. Bishie had
told his mother that prompted him to
plan the murder OF United States EX-
press Messenger Barger and the rob
berry OF the express car on the Lacka-
wanna railroad In his confession Bis
HE said that until the last two weeks,
when he was employed by the express
company, ~ had not worked for a
long time, although he had been hang
ing around the, Lackawanna station at
Kingston, Pa. He had told his mother
that he was working and she was con
tinually asking him for money for his
board
In order to get the money, Bishe
said, for several days he had been
planning the murder and robbery and
had picked Barger and his car because
he knew that this messenger always
placed his money on the desk as he
neared the station instead of leaving
it in the safe until the train stopped.
Bishie says that when the train ar
rived at Taylor, three miles below
here, he raped on the door of the eX-
press car on the side furthest away
from the station platform and when
the door opened he asked Barger for a
ride TO Scranton. The express mes
senger knowing him violated the rules
OF the company by telling him to climb
on.
The murderer says he waited until
the engine whistled at the curve just
before reaching Scranton and then he
stepped behind Berger and blew the
mans brains out. Selling the money
he jumped from the train and on the
bridge crossing the river he took the
money from the envelopes and threw
checks and other papers and his revol-
yer in the river. He went then to a
moving picture show and later went to
the hotel where he was arrested and
went TO bed with his clothes on.
Before going to bed he counted out
$l65 for his mother and tied it up in a
handkerchief, where it was found
when he was arrested.
When the train arrived in this city
one of the doors was open, indicating
that the murderer had jumped Off
Merchandise in the car had been dis
arranged, showing there had been a
struggle. The messenger lay in a
pool of blood behind a pile OF milk
cans. His revolver was found locked
in his trunk.
Nothing was taken from the safe as
at first reported. The blanks found
on the desk Indicated that Barger was
checking up money packages at the
desk when he was shot down The
money packages are carried from the
car by the messenger in satchel and
deposited in the Scranton Office.

A tremendous task, that OF counting
the stars up to the nineteenth magni'
tude, has been undertaken by the
Dutch astronomer, Professor Kapteyn
who has collected all the material fur
nished by the most recent discoveries
notably those from the American OBJ
servatories. Stars OF less size than
the fourteenth magnitude are found
In millions in the Milky Way, and the
work of counting them from photo
graphic plates can best be described
as similar to counting blood corpus
cles under a microscope. Professor
Kapteyn places the total at S42 mil
lion stars, the average being 20,4OO
stars to the square degree OF the
heavens. He has further calculated
that the total light emanating from
all the stars is equal to 2,3S4 times the
luminosity of a star of the first mag
nitude. According to the Dutch sci
enlist the boundaries of the universe
as far as human science has been able
to penetrate. extend to thirty-two
thousand light years.

DIRECTORS NOT LIABLE.
Not Supposed to Have knowledge Of
Details of Business.

OGNdllS OI DuSiHGSSs
Albany, n. Y.-Herbert l.. Satterlee,
son-in-law of j. p. Morgan, and George
j. Gould were granted new trials by
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, Third Department, in the suit
brought against them by stockhold-
er Of the Trust Company of the Re-
public, of which Satterlee and Gould
were directors.
The suit was TO recover certain
moneys the trust company had lost
through loans made by the board of
directors TO the notorious Shipyard
Trust.
The decision caused Wall street
men to rejoice because il held that TO
make men of large business interests
responsible for the small every day
transactions of the corporations OF
which they were directors would be
little less than calamitous."
Hitherto the courts have held that
directors were individually responsi.
BILE for the acts of the corporations
which they were supposed to direct.
