PRESIDENT TAFTS
ANNUAL MESSAGE
Underwood Accuses President And Ad-
mlnlstration With Trying to over
shadow Tariff With Trusts.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 6.-Presi-
dent Taft's message on the trust was
read in both branches of congress yes
terday, and was generally well re
ceiyed The presidents objection to
a repeal of the Sherman law was ap-
provel by some of the leaders on both
sides, although the message should
heve dealt with the tariff.
Democratic Leader Underwood said
the president and the administration
was trying to overshadow the tariff
with trust issues.
The message is an able one from
the presidents standpoint" said Mr..
Underwood, but we feel that the
counding message should have dealt
with the tariff There seems to be
an effort on the part of the president
and the administration to force trust
issues ahead. | am opposed to the re-
peal of the Sherman law, but there
may be supplemental action to define
it. | do not think he fayors an early
corporation act"
Speaker Clark said he could not dis
cuss the message until he had studied
it thoroughly.
Republican Leader Mann, who has
not always agreed with the president,
praised the message.
rs is probably the strongest utter
ance President Taft has ever made, .
he said st shows that he is on the
side of the people; that he is not con-
trolled by the trusts, and that he does
not wish to cause undue violence to
commissions
In the house the reading Of the mes
sage was interrupted by applause from
the republicans. The clerk was dron
ing the document, majority of the
members were following by reading
printed copies which had been dis
tributed to their desks.
The senate heard the reading o1
the measure with its usual dignified
attention, and then adjourned in re
spect to the memories OF Representa-
tives Madison of Kansas and Latta oi
I Nebraska, whose deaths were an
ncunced by a committee from the
house.
For lack of something to do, the
senate viii not meet until Thursday
afternoon and viii then adjourn unit

papers buried in the field. She went to
thefield with the man who dug out a
rusty tin can In the can were $4,000
in securities in an old bank book. The
securities were made out in the name

Ordinances Passed at the Last
Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the city
council last night proved an interest
ing session. After communication
of the attorney general had been read
and the usual routine business of the
session was out of the way, including
the monthly finance ordinance, the
mayor announced the return of two
ordinances passed by the council, at
the last meeting, without his sigma
ture. These ordinances were the or
dinance fixing the salary of the city
engineer at $75 per month, and the
ordinance creating the Office of audi.
tor of the water works. In returning
the ordinances the mayor gave as his
reasons for so doing that the ordin'
ances were Illegal. The council how.
ever thought differently and passed
the ordinances over the veto Of the
mayor. The vote for passage over the
veto was to 2. Martin and Couch
voting against the passage of the or.
dinances.
After a brief period, following the
passage of the ordinances, thu situa
ton looked bit squally, and some
choice sarcasm was INDUCED N, but

George Alexander polled yesterday ap.

Hartman gained a plurality of 5000
