Colonel Roosevelt has called on
Woodrow Wilson to prove his state
ment, made in Pueblo, Col, that the
United States Steel corporation is De
hind the third party programme In re-
gard to regulation Of the trusts. AS
tar as I know" said Colonel Roose-
Welt, the statement has not the
slightest foundation in fact. Mr.. VIII
SON has no business to make sucn a
statement unless he has the PROOF,
and If he has any proof 1 demano
that he make 1t public Immediately.
II he has not, let him retract ms
statement as the only manly ana nom
orable thing to do. AS far as Know
the only big man connected with eth
er the steel corporation or the mar
yester trust who is supporting me is
Mr.. Perkins. AS far as l know, all
the others in both steel corporation
and the harvester trust are sup
porting either Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Will

Kansas City, Mo-, October g.:
Governor Woodrow Wilson, In his
speeches in Topeka, Kan, and here
tonight, replied to Col. Roosevelts re-
quest at Albany, n. Y, that the DEM
ocratic nominee prove or retract the
declaration that the United states
Steel corporation is behind the third
party programme for regulation OF
trusts" The governor reiterated that
the Steel corporation was "behlnd tne
third party programme 1R thousnI
and added he knew nothing OF any
financial support. The governor am
plified his position and made a new
attack on the tariff policies of both
his opponents. II understand from
the newspapers" said Gov. Wilson In
his Topeka speech, that Mr.. Roose-
Welt was distressed by my suggestion
the other day that the United States
Steel corporation was back OF his plan
for controlling the trusts. He inter-
preted my remark to mean that they
were supporting him with their mon
ey. 1 have no knowledge about mon
ey. / do not know whether they are
supporting him with their money or
not; 1t does not make any dinerence.
What meant was they are supporting
him with their thought and their
thought is not our thought. l meant
and I say again, that the kind OF con.
troll which he proposes Is the kind or
control that the United States Steel
corporation wants. am perfectly
willing to admit that they think 1t Is
best for the country. My point Is that
this is a method conceived from the
point Of view Of the very men VINO
are to be controlled" The governor
charged that the Roosevelt program
me was not progressive. at all in Its
fundamentals" and remarked that
Elbert II. Gary, head Of the steel cor
poration, and George w. Perkins, a
director, suggested the plan Of govern
mental control Of trusts. Referring
to the tariff, the governor said: THE
utterances of Mr.. Roosevelt with re-
gard to the tariff are practically the
same as the utterances Of Mr.. Taft,
and II you look at the Saratoga pro-
gramme, the Saratoga platform which
Mr.. Roosevelt himself indorsed, you
will find there an unqualified indorse-
ment Of the Payne-Aldrich tarif, just
as unqualified as Mr.. Taft made in his
winona speech" Gov. Wilson had a
strenuous day in Kansas, making
several speeches. For twenty miles
Of his journey he rode in the locomo-
tive cab, while the train was running
a mile a minute.
Charlotte Observer, Wednesday:
The constant and persistent rumors
about the intense situation in the
Balkan states has aroused consider
able interest among all Of the Greeks
in the United States. There is quite
nd
particular interest in the trouble.
Among the S0-odd Greeks in Char
lotte, George Karakos is looked upon
as the leader and father. Karakos
was interviewed yesterday in regard
to the attitude Of his fellow-country-
men as to returning to their native
homes. According to an estimate
made by him, there are about go or
20 Greeks in Charlotte who are sub
ject to enlistment recall. 1t was
his opinion that hardly any would
leave here until some definite action
or order issued by the consul in
from the homeland. There was con-
siderable agitation among the Greeks
yesterday when each train from the
south brought numbers of Greeks
with their goods packed in their satch-
els, all bound flor Greece. According
to a rumor af1oat yesterday, there
were 400 going from Atlanta, loo
from Savannah and about SO from CO.
lumbia. The Southern station was
we'll filled after each Of the trains
came in and left. The fellow-coun-
trymen were at the station to inquire
for the latest information and to bid
them bon voyage" 1t has been esti-
mated that there are about 12,0OO,-
900 Greeks in the entire world, about
100000 Of this number living in
Greece and 100000 in America If
the call is persistent and the need ur-
gent, it is believed that nearly every
one of the young men will respond.
Reports from the north indicate that
several thousand have already taken
ship for the scene of prospective
strife, and that preparations are be-
ing made for the lines to handle large
numbers Of The returning men. 1t
is said that the armies of Greece give
the recruits a drilling period OF three
months, whether in peace or war.
The men who will leave this country
will be compelled to stay in the rocky
squad" for that number of months
until they are we'll equipped to handle
themselves on the field Of battle. d.

States where information can be OBJ
