TAFT FlAYS CRITICS
SAYS ATTACKS ON SUPREME
COURT ARE INSULT.
Rulings In OH and Tobacco Cases De-
clared Plain Enough to Stop
Restraint.

Aberdeen. S. D., Oct. 24.--ln q
speech before the Aberdeen CONNER
cial club here President Taft replied
with feeling to the charge that he had
set up the Supreme court with the
idea that 1t was to emasculate the
Sherman antitrust law, and declared
anew his intention to have that law
enforced to the letter.
The president referred to the criti-
cism OF the Supreme courts rulings in
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
cases. and said nothing could be fur
Their from the fact than the charges
that the statute had been made in
effective.
The Supreme court, he said. had de-
clared that any restraint Of trade or
combination for the purpose OF sup
pressing competition and controlling
prices was an Inhibition of the law.
Il have challenged and ! challenge
again" he shouted, ANY person to cite
a case that he would condemn as a
violation of the antitrust law that
would not be condemned under the de-
cisior5 of the Supreme court. AS yet
have heard no reply.
The only answer that has come has
been an insult to the court and an in
suit to me. 1t Is the charge that |
set up the court with the purpose and
understanding that it would emascu.
late the statute. Oh, gentlemen,
there is not the slightest foundation
for that.
Il am proud OF the men that | have
put on the court, am proud to have
found men with a standing as high as
they to take the places on that bench.
and | am willing to abide by the rec
ord that they have made and that they
will make.
But now that we have gotten the
law in shape for real enforcement
after twenty years, hear another cry
that to enforce 1t will disturb bust
ness. don't want to disturb business
any more than anyone else. But that
statute was on the statute books when
| took the oath of office to enforce the
laws Of the land, and | am going to
see to it, SO far as ! have the power
as chief executive, that every one who
comes within that statute feels its
heavy hand"

FOUR PROVINCES
Government Must Strike or See
Dynasty Fall.
TWO MORE CITIES CAPTURED
Chang-Sha and Nan-Chang Fall Into
Revolutionary Hands-Refugees
Flee to Shanghai Where Bust
ness Is Throttled.

Shanghai. Oct. 24.-Dispatches re-
ceived here indicate beyond doubt the
revolutionists are in control Of four OF
China's eighteen provinces, with the
entire Yangtse river valley controlled
by the rebels.
Business has been suspended in the
principal cities of the empire and the
overwhelming fear that the army and
navy may go over to the revolution
lists has created a panicky feeling at
Shanghai. The situation is regarded
as most alarming. Ii seems certain
that unless the government strikes
decisive blow soon the rebellion will
envelope all OF central China, with the
overthrow of the Manchu dynasty as
its final achievement.
Two important cities have fallen
into the hands of the rebels. They
are Chang -Sha and Nan-Chang Chang
Sha is the capital Of Human, Nan
Chang the capital of Kiansi. Their
capture delivers into revolutionary
hands the local governments of two
important provinces.
Refugees Flee to Shanghai.
Shanghai Is crowded with refugees
of all nationalities, who are coming
into the city from the Yangtse valley.
They bring the word that sympathy
everywhere Is with the revolutionists.
Quiet prevails at Shanghai. but the
financial and mercantile situation is
grave.
Foreign merchants are unable to
meet their drafts. What trading there
Is done on small margin and on a
commission basis. Even wealthy firms
are unable to finance their business
without the assistance of banks. which
are reluctant to aid.
