Resignation of Two Directors of the Steel Trust
Expected-Minds of People in an In
fLanmatory Condition.

New York, Oct 1.-The powerful broker
operators who contributed SO much to
the decline in the stock market have COW
cred their contracts with millions Of dol
lars added to their credit. The little peo-
pie, thousands of whom sold short to-
ward the end Of the decline. are still un-
covered. The total of their short con-
tracts is enough to make possible very
material rally at their expense.
The resignation OF two directors OF the
United States Steel Corporation is ex-
pected in a few days, and these resigna-
tions will contribute to the restoration
OF confidence. Both OF these men have
been heavy dealers in Steel stocks. 1t is
understood that the Stanley Congress
sional committee will subpoena the part
ners of New York Stock Exchange house
on Broadway, through which four direc-
tors of the steel trust have been trading
in the market.
The Hartman railroad strike furnishes
reasons for expecting a continuance OF
the rally, as Illinois Central will be able
to cut down its operating expenses per
manentIy as a result of this ill-advtsed
movement on the part Of organized labor.
Managers OF the Hartman lines have
wanted for weeks to discharge large num-
bers of men, but feared to do so lest or
ganized labor object. Now that the men
are out the roads will take back only as
many as are actually needed.
Equipment of Roads Is Good.
The roads have equipment in good shape
to last for months without repairs. In
addition to this reduction of operating
expenses the company will save several
millions dollars IN its pension department.
for the men nave been notified If they
struck they surrender all accumulated
credits in the pension fund. and even II
taken back they will have to start anew
to qualify for pensions.

HIGH OFFICIAL
OPPOSE SECRECY
James J. Britt on Religion
and Public Service.
DEGREES VOTE TRAFFIC

Tha public officials owe the people
attempt at secrecy in the transaction Of
their duties should be decried. was the
declaration of James ]. Britt, Third AS
sistant Postmaster General, before the
mems meeting at the Y. NJ. C. A. yes
terday. Mr.. Britt's address was on
Religion and the public service and
was the first OF a series, to continue
several months.
Public service is but a temporary
agency of the people" said Mr.. Britt.
The officials are the agents and serv-
ants Of the people, and owe to the peo-
pie that full measure of service and
efficiency that lies within their power.
Their efficiency must not be restricted to
slavery, to a set policy of administra-
tion, but rather to a broad, determined
principle to serve the people well. Their
service should be open and honest, and
there should be nothing secret in the
administration of their duties
LawIessness Disregarded.
Mr.. Britt declared that righteousness
and religion are the fundamentals on
which the institutions Of the govern
ment have been built up, and on which
they must be perpetuated. He consid-
cred the American peoples disregard of
lawt tessness appalling.
Such demonstrations as recently oc-
CURED in neighboring State, when hun
dreds watched a man burned to the
stake, are conducive to anarchy" said
Mr.. Britt. 7 would much prefer to live
under a most despotic rule than in a
land where mob rule and anarchy pre-
vailed"
The speaker dwelt upon the frauds in
elections in various States, and charac-
terized the traffic in votes as a grave
reflection on the morality of the Ameri-
ran people. He urged that idle attacks
upon the wealthy classes because they
are such should be condemned.
DepIOres Reckless Talk.
IF corporations or classes are inimicaI
to the welfare of the country" said Mr.
Britt, we must get at the root OF the
evil, rather than talk recklessly against
all who may hold position. 1t is the
right of the people to probe any corpora
tion or individuals whose methods are
dishonest, and thus bring about a
remedy"

FLYER IN INDIANA.
Rodgers Braves a Thunderstorm on
His Way to Chicago.

Huntington, Ind, Oct. 1.-Calbraith P.
Rodgers arrived at Huntington at 4:3C
this evening after a days fight with the
northwest gale and thunderstorm, which
appeared certain at times to destroy his
aeroplane in midair and to dash him a
thousand feet to the earth
Rodgers is only thirty-six miles nearer
Chicago, the first stage of his race for
he $4,000 prize offered by w. r. Hearst,
:o-night, but he travelled at least eighty
miles from point to point, besides which
he was blown in great circles many miles
farther.
Those who saw the little model E. X
plugging, spinning, and bucking in the
wind never expected to see the man reach
the earth alive. The suspense was all the
greater when the low clouds hid him from
view.

upward movement can be only temporary
unless the fundamental disputes are set
tied. The thing pressing most for settle
ment is legality for the steel corporation.
The financial world wants to know
whether the United States government
intends to bring Sutt against the steel
trust A square answer to that question
will do more to relieve the anxiety Of
investors and business men than anything
else the administration can do.
That the minds of the people all over
the world are in a highly infammatpry
condition is proved by the unnecessary
war declared by Italy upon Turkey. AS
matter OF fact, all classes of people,
and especially the poor people, are living
better and enjoying more luxuries than
ever before in the history Of the world.
In every quarter Of the civilized world
demands are being made for reforms
that cannot in the nature of things be
accomplished quickly enough to satisfy
! those making the demands.
Starts Unnecessary War.
This inability to overcome established
customs quickly has resulted in the
worldwide excitement that the italian
government has perhaps with some wis
dom decided to crafty by drawing an
unnecessary war The danger of this
situation IS in the possibility of an ex-
ploslon Of the pent-up militant feelings
Of Germany and France.
The fate OF the reciprocity shows that
even Canada. which is enjoying the
greatest prosperity ~ any country in
the world, is keyed up TO the highest
pitch OF mental excitement Should ether
nations be drawn into the European war
investors abroad would be compelled at
first to sell securities to furnish money
to lend their government. They would
naturally sell the best stocks, and that
would bring thousands OF shares OF
American stocks homs to be cashei in.

Hymn Is silly, Says Wilson.

Trenton, Oct six thousand persons
who sang the hymn, Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere" at a monster Sunday school
gathering in the armory here this after
noon, heard Gov. Woodrow Wilson, a
few minutes afterward, characterize NE
hymn as SILLY and meaningless The
governor favored more direct teaching
from the Bible and also the singing of
old psalms. Some of the present-day
hymns, he said, contained neither poetry

La TOILETTE PILOTS
ARE DISAPPOINTED
James r. Garfield Loath to
Fall in Line.
PLANNED FOR STRONG CARD
Promoters of Presidential Boom
Say Former Secretary of the In
terror Has Been Captured by Taft
Forces and Influenced to Steer
Middle Course for GovernorshIp.

Promoters Of Senator La Toilette s
Presidential boom are disappointed in
James r. Garfield, former Secretary of
the Interior. They make no concealment
of their displeasure because Mr.. Gar
field has practically declined to fall into
line for the La Toilette movement. For
months they have been angling for him.
and It was even suggested at one time
that Garfield would consent to become a
candidate for President against Mr.. Taft,
and try to take the Ohio delegates away
from him.
Evere since the La Toilette headquar-
ters were opened in Washington, the
managers have been patiently waiting for
the former Secretary OF the Interior to
come out in a public announcement for
La Toilette. But he was cautious. Fin
ally, he went away to Mexico and re-
manned for a long time. A letter was
received from him by one of the La
Toilette adherents last week, in which
Mr.. Garfield. replying to an invitation to
fall into line for La Toilette, practically
declined the invitation and informed the
La Toilette managers that he was about
| leaving again for Mexico to remain in
definitely.
Invited to Conference.
The La Toilette boomers have written
to Mr.. Garfield, inviting him to be pres
ent at the conference of antiTaft Re-
publicans, called to meet in Chicago on
October 16 The La Toilette men had
planned to feature Mr.. Garfield as one
of the strong cards of their new move
ment AS a former Cabinet officer in
| President Roosevelt's administration and
| the son Of a former President, he
| was expected TO head the Ohio delega-
| tion at the conference.
Now the La Toilette men are saying
| that Mr.. Garfield has been captured by
the Taft administration. or has been in
! fuenced to steer a middle course by a
| prospect of securing the nomination for
governor on the Republican ticket. The
La Toilette promoters say that President
| Taft's friends in Ohio have been
! dangling the governOrship before Gar
| field, and they account for his unwilling
ness TO join the insurgent movement, on
| the ground that he expects to be a can
dldate for governor. They are not feel
ing very kindly toward the former Sec
retary of the Interior.
! Beveridge Rather Elusive.
Former Senator Beveridge, of Indiana.
who has been looked upon as another
prospective ally of the new movement,
is also rather elusive, Efforts on the
part of the La Toilette managers to get
Beveridge to consent to lead the insur-
gent movement in Indiana have been
unsuccessful up to this time. Beveridge
himself is noncommittal, but the attitude
OF some OF his managers in Indiana Is
far from satisfactory to the La Toilette
people.
The La Toilette managers claim to

POSTAL CLERKS
WILL QUIT POSTS
Eighteen on Tracy-Pierre Run
Band against Order Increas-
ing Work

Tracy, Mimi, Jan. l4.-Eighteen
postal clerks on the Tracy and
Pierre, Pierre and Rapid City and
Brookings and Pierre divisions on
the Chicago & North Western road
have struck against the orders of
the second assistant postmater gen.
eral that whenever vacancies occur
on the line over which they are
routed such vacancies shall be kept
up by the regular clerks until the
department makes appointments
All the clerks on the divisions
mentioned have refused to comply
with the order. Ten of them are in
conference here today with w. H.
Denniston, of Aberdeen, S. D.,
chief clerk of this postal division.
They refuse to recede from the posi-
sition they have taken, and it is re-
garded as settled that they and their
eight colleagues on the divisions in
question will be dismissed from the
service.
The vacany in question is on the
run from Tracy to Huron, S. D.,
and return. The mail train from
the west and the one from the east
meet here at 2:30 a. m. The
eighteen postal clerks contend that
to maintain this run Withou ut an adj
ditional quota Of men will cause
them a loss of 5000 each in a year.
Some of the clerks live in this city,
some at Huron, and others at various
points along the routes. They will
stand as one man against the order,
which they regard as unjust and
arbitrary,
The clerks assert that they are
worked hard at all hours of the
twenty four to keep up their regular
runs, without attempting to fill va
~cancies. Because Of the extra time
required Of them the mail service
along the G. & N. W. in this section
is d~emoralized TO a considerable eX-
tent. Patrons complain that mail is
frequently carried by stations and
delivered for "a day or so after it Is
due.
The clerks admit that the situation
is annoying to the public, but de-
clare that the blame rests upon the
government department and it's
parsimOnv.

GRUESOME FIND
AT HURON
Body of William Wood Found
Laying in Pool of Blood
In his Room

Huron, Jan. Especial: The
dead body of William Wood, of
Deadwood, was found laying in a
pool of blood in his room at his
boarding place this afternoon.
There is no clue as to how the man
came to his death. An investiga-
ton is underway and the only
theory that is advanced is that the
juggler vein was cut by glass from
the window.
Roomers in the house state that
during the night they heard sounds
of a struggle, but, thinking it was
merely a passing incident, gave 1t
little attention.
The entire family with the eXcep-
ton of the older daughter, are
away from the city at present. The
girl got up as usual this morning
and hurried away to school. When
she returned home from school this
afternoon she went to Mr. Woods
room to look after the chamber
work. When she opened the door
this CHASTITY sight greeted her.
The police were at once notified,
and it is said that arrests may be
late tonight. A broken window in
the room advances the theory that
Woods fell agai 1st the glass, and
cut himself. His body is scratched
in several places, and the juggler
vein is entirely severed
The town is excited over the
death, and many rumors are rife.
Mr. Woods, though coming from
Deadwood, conducts a bank at Lane,
S. D.; and had been in the city for a
short time.
