CHARGED WITH
COPPER THEFT
Cable Works Has Man Ar
rested Evidence is Lacking.

officials of the Standard Under
ground Company believe they have
in the capture of Tony Stitslo, a Pole
numerous thefts of copper from their
plant at High and Washington
streets. Stitslo vas arraigned before
Recorder Kehoe last night for at
tempting to take a bar of copper,
weighing about twenty-five pounds,
from the works. The charge was
pressed by John G. Platt for the COM
pany. The complaint was dismissed
because it was not shown that the
copper had been carried off the prem
Uses.
Platt secured a search warrant
and intends to conduct a search
about Stitslo's home today Or tomor-
row in an effort to recover copper
which the cable works officials be-
lieve the man has been stealing for
weeks past. MIR. Plat testified that
Stitslo carried the bar of copper in
question from one part of the plant
to another, evidently hiding it until
such a time as he could get away
with it. The complainant said his
movements were watched and the
copper vas recovered before it was
carried from the premises.
The accused man spoke only
Polish when a~rraigned. From his
actions 1t became evident he denied
the charge made against him. He
took an oath in his native way that
was a surprise to the court attend
ants, first kneeling before the bench
with his foref1ngers crossed and
muttering something in the Polish
language and then lying down and
kissing the floor. He was discharged
a few minutes later.

WILSON ATTACK
ON PROTECTION
Refers to the Exaggerated
Protective Policy"

New York, Sept. addressing the
W~orkingmen's Woodrow Wilson club
Governor Wilson gave his view Of
what he described as the exaggerated
protective policy set forth In the plat
Sprm of the Republican party. He de-
elared that Its whole effect had been
to make this country more and more
a provincial country, and In elaborat-
ing that idea he made an appeal for a
merchant marine and a banking sys-
tenn that Will permit American bank
ers to do business on a level with
bankers in other parts of the world.
Governor Wilson was the first speak
err. He was introduced by President
Bogart and received an ovation. He
was interrupted frequently during his
address by bursts of applause.
Before he left Sea Girt Governor
Wilson was Intercepted as to his opin-
ion Of the election in Vermont and
what It purported for Democratic suc-
cess at the presidential election in No
vember. He was gratifed at the show
ing that had been made by his party
in a rock ribbed Republican state.
Democrats Encouraged.
"The fact that the Democrats more
than held their own In Vermont, a Re-
publican state" he said, land also
made substantial gains means business
throughout the country. The encour-
aging thing about 1t is that the Demo
Gratis did not lose any votes to the new
party. Their gains were made appar-
emily at the expense Of the Republican
party"
The governor said he did not care to
make any further comment until he
had got the complete results.
Upon his arrival In New York the
governor went into conference with
Acting National Chairman William G.,
McAdoo, Representative Albert s. Bur
Lesson, who is head Of the speaking bu-
reau; Senator Ponerene of Ohio, Sena-
tor O'Gorman and Homer Cummings,
who has charge OF the speaking ar
rangements Ia the east. Governor
Wilson met a company OF editors OF
foreign language newspapers and other
puUlltolICuS Ut IuS INeliOHhl tltB III
and explained to them ON what basis
he would regulate the immigration to
this country. He said he would dis
ttnguish between voluntary immi-
grants and those who have not come
Of their notion. In his opinion those
OF the former class are Americans in
spirit before they leave their homes
In foreign countries and deserve to
have from our people all the assistance
they can get In the way Of instruction,
After his meeting with the editors at
the National Arts club the governor
went to the Hotel C~ollingwood and re-
NAMED there until the time for the
dinner of the Woodrow Wilson Work
lngmen's club at the Yorkyllle casino.
