"If Candidate Really Knew
Whereof He Spoke Words

TRINIDAD, COLO, Sept 19-In
sizzling speech here today Colonel
Roosevelt hammered back at Governor
Woodrow Wilson for his attack on the
Progressive platform at Sioux Falls, in
which the governor charged that ii
played into the hands of the steel and
harvester trusts. The ex-president
angrily asserted that the two trusts are
supporting Mr.. Wilson and that the
Democratic and Republican platforms
rather than that of the Progressives
cater to the crooked corporations.
"Mr. Wilson should be above mis-
stating facts in order to bolster up his
arguments. Mr. Wilson has an entire
right to defend his own platform if he
feels bold enough to do so, and an en-
tire right to assail the Progressive
platform, but he should conffne himself
to telling the facts as they are" said
Roosevelt.
In his speech yesterday ne stated
that the method now proposed by the
Progressives to regulate the trusts was
suggested by Messrs. Gary and Perkins
before the committee of the house of
representatives to look into the steel
trust, And he suggested that it was
done to save the United States Steel
Corporation from the necessity of do
ing its business better than its COM

POLICE PERMIT PAIR
WHO ROBBED BANK
OF $272, OOOTOESCAPE

CHICAGO, Sept '19.--Patrolmen and
detectives of the city force today are
searching for two, men alleged to be
members of a, gang of five that robbed
the Bank of Montreal of $272.00O The
police activity began when chief Nc
Weeney was told that the two crooks
were in Chicago and that two Chicago
policemen had known it and could have
made an arrest. The two policemen
are now facing charges of incompe-
tency and may be removed from the
force
An informant told Captain Mahoney
that the men were in Chicago. He gave
details of the crime and the identity
and hiding place of the men. Captain
Mahoney could not go personally to
capture the men. 1t was inconvenient,
He assigned Lieutenant Burns. Burns
went alone instead of taking a wagon
load of patromen The robbers were
found, but were not arrested. Instead
Lieutenant Burns was beaten and
kicked and the men vanished. The two
policemen who knew kept mum.
Later Chief McWeeney was told by
the same informant. He thinks the
robbers are still hiding in Chicago.

of the definite points Of an agreement.
Upon the communication of these

he started in with cantaloupe. He told
the prison officials that he wanted it
every morning for breakfast. Jordan is
also very fond of rare steaks and
French fried potatoes, and these fol-
lowed for his breakfast with rolls and
coffee

AGED ALDERMEN OF

Moore and several aldermen today eff
fected a reconciliation between Alder
men w. w. Williams and I. o. Chest
ney. The former struck the latter i'll
the face at a committee meeting just
prior to the session Of council.
Both men are over 60 years of age
and have been friends for more than 40
years. Alderman Chestney laughed at
Alderman Williams when the latter re-
fused to sign a report, and Mr.. Will
liams, constituting the laugh as deri-
sive and haunting, struck his colleague
squarely in the face, and also sought to
hit him with a walking stick, saying;
I've told you before not to laugh at me
like that"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-09-19

Il haven't the slightest criticism to
make OF either the Harvester trust or
the Steel trYst in this matter. / do not
question that they are sincere in sup
porting Mr. Taft or Mr.. Wilson. but
also wish to point out that Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Taft occupy substantially the
same attitude toward the trusts and
this attitude is of such proved harm
lessness that l am not in the least sur
prised that any trust which objects TO
honest and effective regulation should
support either or both of them indiffer
emily as against me
The only result that could possibly
follow from any action of the kind
heretofore advocated by Mr.. Wilson AS
regards either the Steel trust corpora
ton or the Harvester trust would be to
put them just where the Standard Oil
trust and the tobacco trust have al
ready been put by following out the
very policy he indicates.
such being the case, | do not Won
der that all four trusts eonfne their
! opposition to the Progressive party and
to me and are seemingly entirely will
| ing to have either Mr.. Wilson or Mr.
/ Taft come into pOWer"

Change Problem.

Atlantans are familiar with the gold
coinage of their country, to judge from
the flood of answers which piled in
within an hour after the Krazy Kat
Kwestion in yesterdays first edition Of
The Georgian reached readers in the
street. There were many who puzzled
over the problem of the soda clerk and
said it couldn't be DONE" but lot of
them got the answer after few mo-
ments' hard thinking.
The question was: How could the
soda jerker who had sold a five-cent
drink make change for Ave dollar
bill when he couldn't make change for
a one? Why, he took the five, gave the
customer a $3.50 gold piece, two-dol-
lar bill and As cents in silver.
Here are some of the first to answer
the problem correctly:
