 EDMUNDS

Z Oyster Bay, Aug. 15-In reply to the statement of Former Senator George Edmunds, of Vermont, who declared that the Taft administration shad faithfully enforced the Sherman act and that the bull moose party would not enforce antitrust laws, Colonel Roosevelt. today, made a spirited at- tack on John D. Rockefeller, the Am ,ericah Tobacco and other trusts and trust magnates. He said:
 Senator Edmunds is in thorough accord with MT. Rockefeller and the American Tobacco people. He takes precisely their views. fB
 Senator Edmunds has given good ,exression to the view which is held with heated zeal by every great crook ed corpora ton in Wall street and out side of Wall street
 MT. Ednlunds' proposal is in the interest of every great corrupt organi- zation and against the interests of every honest business man.
 Every crooked corporation lawyer and every crooked head of corpora tior will follow MT. Edmunds' lead in this matter and naturally and prop erly will oppose the attitude taken by the progressives for our attitude and our attitude alone offers the chance of really grappling with and solving the problem of really controlling the trusts in the interests of the people as a whole and in the interests of the honest businessmen

| YNCH RESIGNS LEADERSHIP OF
 W. W. BAND
George Sanger Temporarily As- sumes Leadership of Famous
 Organization

The press of business and ill health. are the reasons given by John A, Lynch, for 15 years leader of the Wheeler & Wilson band, for his resig- nation from the leadership of the fam ous musical organization. At the last meeting of the band, George Sanger. who was a drummer in the band, in 1861, was elected to succeed MT. Lynch.

 MT. Lynch entered the, w. & w. band in 1887, having been connected with the Howe band prior to that time. He was elected leader in 1897, and in 1910 the band presented him a handsome gold watch as a tes- timonial of the appreciation of the members of his conscientious and ef- ficient effort.
 MT. Sanger enlisted in 1863 in the Fourth U. s. Infantry band, and was attached to General Grants headquar- ters. At the close of the war he serv- ed at West Point until 1870, since which date he has played continuously with the W. & W. band.
