Waterloo, Ia, Sept. 3O-Prest-
dent Taft In a speech defining The
Relation of the Government to Bust
ness announced that trust prose-
cutions begun by the department Ut
justice at Washington would con-
tinue, despite recent criticism that
business was being made to suffer.
He served notice. that the "big
business interests" of the country
must be brought within the law just
as the railroads have been, and de-
clined to admit that there exists any
discretion that would enable the at
torney general to stay the hand Of
the government in dealing with conf
binations in restraint of trade.
why" he asked, should we al
low the political fortunes of any
man or set of men to mislead las
into hostility toward parts of the
country which is certain to work
injury to all?''
1--WE are all in the same boat" he
continued, "all tossed about by the
same wave. Let there be good bnsi-
ness in one section and that pros
perity will quickly spread"
Business is hating now said
the president. There is doubt and
distrust among investors, due to a
fear of blind enmity toward success
full enterprise. What is the remedy :
It is the restoration of confidence be-
tween the persons who have been op-
posing each other in times past, who
now, after the reforms are initiated
and are in process Of being effected,
ought to come together, in amity and
make the best use of the enormous
resources we have in this country
for the promotion of general pros
perity and the securing and encour-
aging of individual happiness.
Large Crowds Greet Him
Mr.. Taft said he had heard, from
men engaged in business, the sever
est criticism of the antitrust law.
Their position, he declared, could n OF
be supported.
"They seem to think" he con-
tinued, "that there ought to be some
measure making legal the control of
competition and limited monopoly,
some statute which shall establish
line between those monopolies that
are reasonable and those that are
not No such line is possible and
the supreme court has expressly SO
decided"

tor that negotiations will be much
easier and are not unlikely to De
successful if Turkey will accept a
money indemnity for Italy to estab-
fish herself in Tripoli. as Great
Britain did in Egypt.
Tripoli Not Bombarded
Tripoli has not been bombarded,
and is not likely to be. if the Turks
do not oppose the landing. Warlike
operations are confined to a block
ade and the capture on either side
of a few small vessels.
It is now admitted from the Turk
ish side that Prevesa, in European
Turkey, is not occupied. Italy's an
nouncement that she has no inten-
ton to carry. tho war into European
Turkey will do much to allay ap-
prehension over Balkan or other

ON STREET IN new YORK

New York, Oct. 2.-Unrecognized
by a single person in the curios
throng that rushed to his aid, Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, U. S.
~, retired, fell dead in front of the
Berkeley Lyseum, on West Forty
fourth street, today. The death OF
this notable figure in naval history
of the nation was for the moment
that of an unknown man in strange
crowd
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
would have been u years of age
in a week. He was a native of
Frederick City, Md. Appointed to
the United States naval academy in
1856 and graduating in 1860, his
promotion was rapid and by 1874
he had come to be commodore. He
was appointed rear admiral in 1899.
Admiral Schley's first real war SER
vice was in the actions about Port
Hudson in 1868.
During the war with Spain, Schley
commanded the flying squadron"
and he was in immediate command
of the American vessels in the at
tack on Santiago de Cuba, which re-
suited in the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's feet.

tonight is on his way to Denver
where he is due early tomorrow.
Mr.. Taft spent a part of the fore
noon in Omaha, stopping for two
hours at Lincoln, the home of his
former political adversary, William
J. Bryan, and was entertained here
this evening at banquet.
Mr.. Bryan helped to welcome the
president in Lincoln, and at the Com
mercial Club luncheon proposed the
presidents health in 1.-The beverage

drunk in sparkling water Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Bryan exchanged felicita-
lions and seemed always to enjoy
their meeting.
Entertainment NOnpartisan

dent at Omaha, at Lincoln and here

charged with politics.
Mr.. Taft received a hearty well
come in all three cities. At Lincoln
it seemed that the entire popoula-
ton had turned out But the Re
publican leaders with whom the
president and Secretary Hilles talked
were anything but optimistic over
the prospects of harmoniMng the
party differences in the state.
Gov. Aldrich accompanied the
president on his trip from Omaha,
but the presidential party had scarce
ly left Lincoln before there was made
public letter from the governor an
nouncing that he would support
Senator La Toilette for the presiden-
tial nomination and that his decision
to do SO was unequivocal.
Speaks on World Peace
At Lincoln and Omaha, Mr.. Taft
spoke on world peace.

national peace was one subject on
which he and Mr.. Bryan agreed. And,

townsmen, Mr.. Taft gave Mr.. Bryan
credit for having suggested one of
the most important provisions in the
pending treaties of arbitration with
Great Britain and France.
He referred to the clause creating
joint high commission to consider
questions Of differences before they
finally are referred to an arbitral
court, and to the further provision
that this commission should take q
year to consider its findings and
recommendations.
Looks to Japan.
In his discussion Of the treaties to-
day, Mr.. Taft referred to japan and
expressed the hope that that country
might come into such an agreement

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2.-President
Taft arrived here last night from Sc.
dalia, Mo-, eleven hours late, after
somewhat perilous trip over the
flood damaged railroads.
The Taft train was caught in the
center of a storm in Northeastern
Kansas and Eastern Nebraska, dur
ing which it was estimated eight
inches of water fell. Creeks were
turned into torrents, rivers over
flowed and railroad travel was i'm
peded in all directions. Several small
bridges were swept away and in the
early forenoon portion of the tracks
over which the president Travelled
were covered with more than a foot
of water.
Journey is Perilous
Section hands along the Missouri
Pacific system were ordered out by
the hundreds. In several places the
tracks were lifted on jacks from the
muddy waters and propped up on
piles of crossties. To hold these in
place many tons of rock were dumped
into the roadbed. 1t was by far the
most dangerous railroading situation
the president has been in during any
of his travels.
Mr.. Taft did not seem to mind he
inconvenience or the danger in tile
least, although expressing regret
that the program arranged for hin
In Omaha had to be abandoned. His
was the first train to get out Of the
flooded district.
Arriving here the president was
taken to the Omaha club for dinner
and spent the evening there. he
will leave for Lincoln and Denver
at 1880 a. m. TOMORROW.

that Turkey should not oppose the
Italians landing at Tripoli, but hold
influential Italians as hostages.
The Chronicles Milan correspond
emit, who sends his dispatch by way
of the Swiss frontier, says:
1.-The publication OF the text of the
ultimatum to Turkey has produced
a veritable sense of stupefaction
among the people.
Anxious fears are expressed lest
the brutal crudity of the ultimatum
favors the impression abroad that the
note was drafted under the inspira-
ton of the worst ethics of Sicilian
brigandage, rather than by the cabi-
net of Christian power"

County Surveyor Edward Y. Auli
has unearthed what he believes to be
a combine among the local crushed
stone producers Mr. Ault was firmly
convinced of this fact today. and has
suspected for some time that a com
bination for the purpose Of Keeping
the price OF stone away up has been
in operation.
These discoveries on the part OF
the county surveyor come through the
fact that not a single. solitary bid was
received by the county commissioners
today for the resurfacing of the Pat
ten pike. two and one-half miles long,
in Prospect township. The engineers
estimate on the Patten pike was S4,-
292 and on the rysville-Prospect
pike. S4,0S6.10. lie claims that the
local combine would not bid for the
reason that his estimates were based
on the old price of crushed stone, and
that now these prices have been adj
.vhnced by from six to ten per cent
In speaking OF the matter this art

lions have been granted and more are

mates for the crushed stone on this

Of last winter. when the petitions were
drawn and presented.
"Now. however along comes this
combination OF stone men and raises
the price from six to ten cents a
ward. That makes II almost impossi-
BILE to sell the work on my estimate
and not only that, but the farmers
lose heart when they contemplate
what their roads will cost them In
taxes.
why exclaimed Mr.. Ault. as he
