BRANDED AS SOCIALISTS
Wilson and Roosevelt Raped by Taft
in Notification Speech.

President Taft was formally notified
Of his denomination at the White
House. In accepting the nomination
the president delivered an address in
which he outlined the issues in the
coming campaign.
The president declared that the
preservation of the constitution and
the maintenance of an Independent
judiciary constitute the supreme issue
in this contest and called on Republi-
cans and Democrats alike to join in
combating the menace offered by the
candidates. of Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson. The president
asserted that both Roosevelt and Will
son are headed. toward socialism.
THE truth is said he, both those
who have left the Republican party
leader and our old opponents, the
Democrats, under their candidate are
going in a direction they do not
definitely know, toward an end they
cannot definitely describe, with but
one chief and clear object and that IS
of acquiring power for their party by
popular support through the promise
of a change for the better"
The president added that hostility
to the judiciary and measures to take
away its power and independence con-
stitute the chief definite policy that
can fairly be attributed to that class
OF reiormers whose absorption and
control the Republican party escaped
at Chicago and the Democratic party
yielded to at Baltimore"
The president did not mention
Roosevelt by name in his entire ad-
dress, but it was full of indirect refer
ences to him and to his followers. In
directly he referred to Roosevelt as
demagogue.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, Mr..
Taft contends, has yindicated itself.
By its schedules the revision of tariff
has been downward. The high cost of
living is not peculiar to this country,
the president continues, but world
wide in extent.

SPEED CAUSED DISASTER
10 EngIands Titanic Wreck Commits
sion Concludes.

The report of Lord Merseys Titanic
wreck commission in England eX-
pressed the opinion that exces.
siye speed caused the wreck and
that the arrangements for the launch
ing ana manning OF the lifeboats were
inadequate 1t is held that the look
out precautions against ice were in
sufficient The commission holds that
Captain Smith, though he made a
grievous error cannot be held guilty
Of negligence j. Bruce Ismay it IS
held, was under no moral obligations
to remain on the Titanic as the only
result would have been the loss Of an
other life The third-class passengers
were found to have been fairly treated
in the lifeboats. The liner Cali.
fornian could have saved many lives,
the report says.
Among the recommendations the re-
port asks for the basing OF lifesaving
accommodations on steamships on the
number of passengers and not on the
steamships tonnage.

STEEL REPORT
is SUBMITTED
Stanley PrObers Recommend
Legislation to Congress
DISSOLUTION NOT MENTIONED
Majority Report Would Separate Man.
ufacturng and Transportation Busi-
ness CompleteIy-Morgan Censured.

The Stanley committee, which has
been investigating the United States
Steel corporation, sent in its report
to the house of representatives All
the Democrats on the committee
signed it; of the four Republicans two
agreed in one separate report and
each Of the others had his minority
finding.
One of the Democrats, Martin W.
Littleton, signed the report, but re-
fused to concur in one of three recon-
mendations for remedial legislation ac-
companying it.
In the majority report the steel cor
poration is criticised without stint,
but nowhere is the opinion expressed
that it should be dissolved The COM
mittee finds that it's enormous earn
ings are due, mot to a degree of in
tegration of efficiency not possessed
by its competitors, but to the owner
ship Of ore reserves out of all proper
tion to its output or requirements and
to the control and operation OF COM
mon carriers, divisions of rates and
the liberal allowances obtained from
other concerns through inequitable
and inordinate terminal allowances"
The three bills in which the recon.
mendations of the majority of the com
mittee are embodied are:
First, an amendment to the Sher-
man antitrust act which would put
the burden of proof in an action for
violation of the act upon the defendant
corporations, would permit anyone 10
bring suit in equity, instead of leav-
ing such power in the hands of the
government, where it is at present,
and would define unreasonable re-
straint to be the control of as little as
30 per cent of the value of the total
quantity of any specified article.
The second bill would prohibit rail
road supply manufacturers including
the makers of rails and structural
steel and persons engaged in the min
ing and sale of coal, from being di-
rectorl or officers of railroads en-
gagged in Interstate commerce.
The third would make illegal the
ownership of railways by industrial or
mining corporations, firms, companies
or officers.
Martin w. Littleton, in his state
ment explaining why he does not con
cur in the first of these recommenda-
tions, says that the bill is ineffective,
Among other things contained in the
report are:
Garey-Carnegie plan of government
control disapproved.
Publicity prescribed as partial cure
of evils
Would have commissioner of cor
porations report to congress as well
as to president.
Watering" by J. p. Morgan and as
sociates condemned
Gary dinners took place Of pools.
Colonel Roosevelt condemned for
making trust control complete through
Tennessee Coal and Iron transaction.
Corporation declared foe OF organ
lied labor. Said to lower sociological
conditions OF employees.

JUDGE DENIES CHARGES

From Bench.

With tears streaming down his
cheeks and with his voice broken by
sobs United States Judge Emory
Speer at Macon, Ga, answered
from the bench the attack made on
him as Judge by Colonel w. A. Huff,
for ten years mayor of Macon and a
member of the legislature. Huff had
demanded the impeachment Of Judge
Speer.
Colonel Huff charges that the judge
has Improperly juggled" the Huff
case, involving $l5O,OOO in receiver
ship proceedings, "for the financial
benefit of himself, relatives, special
lawyers and others" and committed
other improper acts.
The popular feeling seems to be en-
tirely with Colonel Huff and there is
little doubt that congress will be asked
to probe the charges. Already hun
dreds are signing a petition to get the
matter before congress
